Thoro have been two scientific facta

public have been kept in ignorance.
Early ono morning in Thompson's time
Horr Schmidt' went out to seo tho old sou
lion nnd her baby. Ho was astonished
to seo tho mother with tho young down
on the edgo of tho bridge, vomiting some
sort of oil all over it. Thinking some
thing wrong, ho at onco called Thomp
son, who, seeing tlio operation of tho
mother, said, "That's funny," nnd great
was the astonishment of botlr- when tho
mother nosed tho young ono into tho
water. Ho floundered about and got
back on to the bridge. Sho nosed him
in again and kept on repeating tho doso
for live or six times, then took tho young
ono and canted mm into tho house.
"Pvo learned something good therefrom
not known to scientists, and that is that
tho mother seal oils her young with oil
from her stomach heforo sho teaches
them to swim. That's something now in
natural history. Tho other discovery
was that young grizzlies weigh lit birth
only about a pound or a itound and a
quarter, and tlio way they taught their
cub to swim was funny. Tlio father
would push tho cub into tho water,
whero it would paw and flounder, then
both mother and father would go to tho
edgo of the water tank, and reaching
out their paws, rako the cub up, invaria
bly dropping it half a dozen times be
fore they lauded it." Cincinnati En

Ilni-Mit' Teeth.
Mo 10 trouble with and lack of condi
tion of horses aro duo to ulcoratcd and
irregular teeth tlmn is generally sup
posed. They should Ihj removed with
forceps. There is no reason to doubt
that a I torso with ulcerated teeth suffers
as intensely from toothache as a human
subject. Irregular growth or fracture
of tho enamel 011 tho outer edges make
tho teeth so rough as to injure tho inside
of tho cheek, sometimes causing ulcers.
In other eases some ot tho grinders grow
more slowly than others and fail to meet
those in the opjtosite jaw, causing what
is called "quiding," imperfect mastica
tion of tho food. Tho remedy is to tlio
tho teeth into tho proper shape. Horso

Tho spirit of the Spanish inquisition
lives today in tho form of tho small boy,
and particularly that jiortion of the
genius commonly known as the gumin.
For discovering particularly ingenious
and soul racking methods of torture and
annoyance, tho small boj' stands pre
eminent and unapproachaclo. This great
truth was borne in upon tho mind of
Tho Man About Town by an incident to
which ho was a witness on Olivo Btrect
the other day. A youngster who, from
his aristocratic iipiH-aranci'. wasevidently

who had itr:,'d down town, had
become deeply interested in tho mys
teries of tho cablo road and was endeav

investigation through tho slot. A gamin
stood on tho curb.
His roving glanco took fn tho boy in
";
1 tho middle of tho street, and his active

a plan to
improve thesituation for his own amuse

tho West End. Ho drew a lone: string

it caught the cable and held fast, and tho
next second the hat was sailing up the
street at the rate of eight miles an hour,
with its owner wildly pursuing it, a
hopeless second in the race, whilo the
bystanders cheered, and the author of
tho trouble smiled a smile of exceeding
peace, and ran up an alley to relate his
adventure to a few other ungclic spirits.

We commend to the attention of the
Society for Psychical Research tho latest
dream story hi connection with racing.
A well known ox-military sportsman for
some weeks past had made up his mind
that lie would try and dream tlio winner
of tho Lincoln handicap. This ingenious
idea of his he announced to several of
his friends, who naturally smiled some
what skeptically on tho would bo seer.
However, on Monday night five times in
succession lie dreamt that No. 13 had
won the race. As thero was no horso of
that name the sportsman in question
camo to tho conclusion that his vision
must refer to thu number on tho card.
Ho made no secret of his belief, and yes
terday morning lie sent a messenger to
King's Cross to get tho card and back
his dream number. Thero wore no cards
to bo had at the station. Accordingly,
ho wired to Messrs. W. H. Smith "&
Sons' bookstall at Lincoln for tho name
of No. 13 on tho day's card for tho handi
cap. Tlio answer came back promptly,
"Wiso Man." The resolute dreamer im
mediately backed tho horse, with tlm
happy result that all wiso racing men
now wot of. Every detail of this singu
lar story is absolutely true, nnd thero
aro many who, can testify to having
heard the prophecy of No. 13 delivered

They aro laughing over a blunder of a
United States examining surgeon up in
Caribou. He was examining for deafness
an applicant for a pension, and to test tho
man's left ear held a watch at some dis
tance and asked him if lie could hear it
tick. Tlio answer was "No," and the
same reply was given to repeated ques
ions as tho watch was brought nearer.
"Put him down totally deaf in left ear,"
the surgeon said, and holding tho watch
away from the man's right ear, tho same
question was asked. To his surprise, tho
answer was tho same. It then occurred
to the surgeon to examine his watch, and
ho found that it had stopped. Tho ex
amination was begun all over again.

In reading over the literary items of
tho week, 1 found not much to Interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "JcnArs' Dream.'1 Imag
ine my surprise to find it ended up with
a recommendation to use Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, I
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, I found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, a complete Immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They aro gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
As a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no griping or sickness. Best
Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap
est, Easiest to take. For Constipation,
Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.

"German

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown,
Wis. This is the opinion of a man
who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge: "I know of no
medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat,
or Hoarseness that had done such ef
fective work in my
family as Boschee's
German Syrup. Last
winter a lady called
at my store, who was
suffering from a very
Coughs,
Sore Throat,
Hoarseness,
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and I told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory I would make no charge
for it. A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying that she
would never be without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief. ' ' !
MANY MEN FIND THAT
Stormj, snows, drenching rains, and furious winds
are a part of the regular routine of life. Two-thirda
of the sickness through life is caused by colds ; you
cannot be too well protected in ttormy weather to
avoid them. A man having a " Fish lJrand Slick
er" may be exposed to a norm for twenty-four
hours at a stretch, and stiU be protected from every
drop of rain, besides beniR shielded from tho
bitinE winds. No matter what your occupation,
tt you are liable to be cauEht in a rain or snow
",?"n' you shou'd have on hand a " Fth Brand
Shelter." It will surely save your health, and
perhaps your life. Heware of worthless imiiations,
every carment stamped with the " Kish Drand"
Trade Mark. Don't accept any inferior coat nhen
you can have the " Fish Itraiid Slicker" delierd
without extra cost. Particu.ars and illustrated
catalogue free.
