He came to the conclusion that, contrary to the prevalent belief, the animals of modern Egypt are the same as those of prehistoric times. The eclipse on the 12th of last month created consternation among the natives of Egypt. They regarded it as an attempt on the part of the moon to destroy the sun, and at Alexandria tne streets were filled with boys and men beating drums and tom-toms, while the women howled on the roofs. Vienna recently had an alleged epidemic of hydrophobia, nearly sirty mad dogs having been destroyed within a few weeks.

Ho laughed. "Nothing. I made the oldest a lawyer, the second a doctor, the third a preacher and the fourth a stock broker. All are dissatisfied. They complain that I put them Into tha wrong niches.

Bob, the young scoundrel, Is going to have bis own way about It. I have not even faintly hinted at what I should like him to go in for. When he was at home Christmas some one put the question to him, and he said he was going to be a funeral director. That nearly killed me at first, but I am growing fond of the idoa. Undertaker, eh? Never! He will not be an undertaker, but a funeral director.

His reasons are sensible, and I don't think we shall be ashamed of him." "Bob tells me," continued the father, "that most of our funeral customs are as old as Rome; that, in fact, they are derived from the Romans. And he says that nothing new In funerals has been tried in centuries. He sees a big field to improve. He says he will make 1100,000 a year. Ho will capture all the best trade.

Some of our undertakers are millionaires. Think of that! Over 2,000 wreaths were sent to Sulla's funeral. The Romans dressed In black, walked in processions, carried insignia on the bier and raised a mound over the grave. Bob would change all these things somehow. Bob has worked It all out and knows what he's up against.

He's original. ThlnK of a Yale graduate burying people for a living! I guess I'll have to cut him off In my will to keep the young rascal from hankering after putting me under the sod." New York Press. ACTIVITY IN KERN OIL FIELDS. BAKERSFIELD. Commencing Juno 1st the Associated Oil Co.

THE "WASTES OF THE BODY. Every seven days the blood, muscles and bones of a man of average size loses two pounds of wornout tissue. This waste can not be replenished and the health and strength kept up without perfect digestion.

Kodol cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia and all stomah troubles. It is an ideal spring tonic. Sold by J. Q.

When a ninti can no more eat a man's food, but exists on a milk and cracker diet he is gone back to babyhood. He may be a by umn but he has a baby's stomach.

Success in life depends largely on the stomach. The man with the baby's stomach finds himself also with a luby's peevishness and erversity. lie has the baby's exaggerated personal sensitiveness and jealousy, lie is an annoyance to his friends and an anxiety to his family. No man can be stronger than bis stomach. A weak stomach argues a weak man.

And a weak stomach is the common starting point of most of the so-called "weaknesses" which affect the great organs heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. How can it be otherwise when the body and all its organs are dependent on the stomach for their nutrition? The "weak" stomach drags the organs down with it, because being weak it is unable to convert fowl into nutrition, and the organs of the body being starved, of necessity become weak, as a consequence of starvation. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover)' cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It makes the weak body strong in the only way physical strength cau be made, which is by food, properly digested and assimilated.

The cures of weak lungs, weak heart, weak or sluggish liver, "weak" kidneys, which follow the use of "Golden Medical Discovery," are all due to this perfect nutrition of the body, the proof of which is the remarkable gain of sound, solid flesh, which invariably marks the cure. "STOMACH TROUBLE." "About ten years ago I hejjati to have trouble with my toiuch." writes Mr. Wra. Connolly, of 5 Walnut Street. Lorain, Ohio.

ii koi ij bail ihat I had to lay off qViite often two and three clays in a week, my stomach would bloat, and I would belch up (ras. and was in awful distress at such times. I have employed and been treated by the best doctors in this city but got no help whatever. Some said 1 had cancer of the stomach, others catarrh, others dyspepsia, I have and tried everything 1 saw advertised for dyspepsia and stomach trouble, but continued to get worse all the time. About twelve months ago I was in such a condition thnt my frieuds had some fear about my recovering.

I called a doctor and he found me in a very bad shape. Hands and limbs were cold and dripping with cold sweat. lie told me that I had a very bad case of chronic indigestion. I was under his treatment until this spring (1898), but did not improve any. By some way or other I happened to get hold of a vial of your 'Pellets and 1 thought they helped me.

It was then I wrote to you for advice. You told me that by my symptoms you thought I had liver complaint and advised the use of your 'Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets' in connection. These medicines I have taken as directed, and ara very happy to state that I commenced to get better froui'the start, and have not lost a day this summer on account of my stomach. I feel tip-top, and better Uian I have for ten years." GAINED SIXTEEN POUNDS, "It was twelve years ago that I derived so much help from Dr. Pierce's medicines," writea Mrs.

Olive Stevens, of North Harvey, Cook 111. I was afflicted with a scrofulous tumor in the left side of my neck. It was fully as large as a large sited walnut, and so painful that I could get but little sleep at night. I doctored with several physicians but received no benefit. The tumor grew rapidly and became inflamed und my general health became impaired.

"I grew very weak. One physician said I would be In consumption in a very short time. Our home physician said I would have to have the tumor removed, but afterward told my husband that I had heart trouble and he would not dare give me chloroform or ether, so he told me to be very careful gave me medicine but did me no good. I went to Michigan, was there three months, and while there took Dr. I'ierce'i Golden Medical Discovery and used Liigol'a as directed in your pamphlet.

While away I gained sixteen pounds, ttie tumor he-came smaller, and less painful, and to -tin there is not a sign of it. I confident I shall nevct be troubled with it again. We think there is no medicine like Dr. k. V.

Pierce's, and we have recommended it to a grntt many who have taken it with vrrv faimahlf results. "The 'Goldeu Medical Discovery' cured my neck entirely."

Dr. ingrain maintained that the only rational way to fight tuberculosis was to diminish alcoholism, which prepares the soil for it. A strange African way of killing buffaloes Is described In Johnston's re cent work on Uganda. The natives of a certain district catch puff adders In a noose and nail them alive by the tip of the tall in the middle of a buf falo track. The reptiles strike at the animals as they pass by.

DECORATION DAY. leep, comrades, sleep and rest On this Field of the Grounded Arms, Where foes no more molest, Nor sentry's shot alarms. Ye have slept on tue ground before, And started to your feet At the cannon's sudden roar, Or the drum's redoubling beat. But In this camp of Death No sound your slumber breaks; Here is no fevered breath, No wounds that bleeds and aches.

All Is repose and peace, Untrampled lies the sod; The shouts of battle cease It is the Truce ot God! Rest, comrades, 'rest and sleep! TLo thoughts of iren hi! i As sentinels to' keep Your rest from danger free. Your silent tents of green We deck with fragrant flowers; has the suffering been, The memory shall be ours.

Tears fill my eyes, As low to you I say: "I had two brothers once, Warm-hearted, bold, and gay; They left my side. One wore the blue, The other wore the gray. "One rode with Stonewall and his And Joined his fate to Lee; The other followed Sherman's march Triumphant to the sea. "Both fought for what they deemed the right, And died with sword in hand; One sleeps amid Virginia's hills. And one In Georgia's sands.
