That

Afflicts nearly every one at this season
You know just what it means no energy
no ambition without spirit life vitality
Some men and women endeavor tempo

marked nervous prostration in every
direction That Tired Feeling is a posi

if the blood is rich pure vitalized and
vigorous it imparts life and energy The
necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore appar

you is equally beyond question

Battles n Wild Goose
William E Metcalf oC NUes Mich s
onsidered a famous hunter He has
3peut many years in that vicinity and
he many spots where game abounds
ire not unknown to him He is an
ibsolutely fearless man and his
bravery more than once saved him
from being torn to pieces by the iierce
3euizens of the forest While Mr Met
talf loves to relate his many adven
tures there is none that he recalls that
causes him to shudder so much as a
Bght he recently had with a male wild
oose One morning he started out
with a quail net which he set in hopes
Df capturing some of the birds After
accomplishing the setting of the trap
3atisfactority he left The next morn-
the ma was knocked down bt the
suddenness of the onslaught
ing he returned to the scene of his ope
rations and when he approached with
in a few rods of the trap he heard a
loud cackling He crept cautiously
forward and when he came in sight of
the net was astonished to find that sev
enteen fine wild geese had become en
tangled in the meshes and were unable
to get loose Outside and free of the
net stalked along a magnificent gan
der a lordly bird and seemingly mon
arch of all he surveyed As he came
forward the gander eyed Metcalf and
then flew at him ferociously Before
he could escape the bird nad given him
several hard slaps with his wings
meanwhile digging him severely with
his feet and pecking away with his
beak at his face and eyes The man
was knocked down by the suddenness
of the onslauaht of the enraged bird
which did not I6t up in his attack Mr
Metcalf thougfit his time had come
but he finally got hold of a club lying
near by -with which he dealt the gan
der a half dozen blows stunning the
bird Mr Metcalt managed to get to
his feet and then easily dispatched the
gander which was the largest ever
seen in the vicinity The hunters face
was terribly scratched and his clothes
were badly torn -while he smarted con
siderably from the blows of the gan
ders wings He killed the balance of
the wild geese and carried his game
home in triumph though he had had a
fierce fight to gain possession Mr Met
calf could never account for the attack
of the gander unless it was trying to
protect its mates
German students of literature are
much exercised over the decay of polite
letters in the fatherland In scholar
ship it more than holds its own but
neither in poetry drama nor fiction Is
there anything notable being done It
may be said that the same is true of
music Germany no longer leads the
world as she did in this art

The Plague Virus
Such scientific authorities in England
as Lord Lister and Professor Frank
land speak with approval of Dr Yer
slns anti toxin for the plague They
are convinced that he has discovered
the true virus of the disease and that
his method of prevention and cure by
vaccination is effective
The Most Precious Gem
Prof J W Judd in a recent lecture
in London gave some facts not gener
ally known concerning the comparative
value of diamonds and rubies He had
the best authority he said for stating
that a ruby weighing as much as five
carats is worth ten to twelve times as
much as a diamond of the same weight
even though the latter might be of the
first water The ruby therefore in
stead of the diamond is the material
which embodies the highest money
value in the smallest compass
By Canoe from Atlantic to Pacific
Mr F C Nicholas recently described
the gold fields of Western Colombia for
the geological section of the New York
Academy of Sciences and incidentally
pointed out a route by which in the
wet season a man might go in a canoe
from the Atlantic to the Pacific across
the northwestern corner of South
America The proposed route follows
the River Atrato to the divide which
lies in a series of swamps and then
by way of one or two smaller streams
reaches the River San Juan which
empties into the Pacific
Spiral Arrow Head
Several chalcedony arrow heads are
reported to have been found in New
Jersey which are so peculiar in form
that if they are genuine relics of In
dian times they seem to indicate that
the red men may have sought in some
cases to give their arrows a twisting
motion like that of a rifle ball The
arrow heads in question are cut in a
spiral shape and one of them makes a
fifth of a turn in its length of two and
a half inches Dropped point down in
water it is said it will perform a com
plete revolution in a space of about
thirty inches
Arms and Legs
According to the result of many
measurements made at the Anthropo
logical Laboratory in London the right
arm in human beings is in a majority
of cases longer than the left arm
while on the contrary the left leg is
longer than the right leg Sometimes
however the relative proportions are
exactly reversed but very seldom does
perfect equality exist between the two
sides The tendency of the right arm
to exceed the left arm in strength is
somewhat greater in men than in wom
en while equality of strength in the
two arms occurs almost twice as fre
quently with women as with men
The Plays of Animals
A German professor Karl Groos has
written a book on the plays of qni
mals in which he undertakes to show
that the desire to indulge in play is a
true instinct among the lower crea
tures As in man the tendency to play
is stronger in young animals Professor
Groos divides animal sports into a
number of classes Among them are
Play hunting in which the prey is
sometimes such as the animal natural
ly chases and sometimes a make-believe
play fighting building play
nursing play plays of imitation
and others
History on a Watch Face
Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer Houzeau recently deceas
ed was an article in which while argu
ing in favor of a decimal division of
time he pointed out the origin of the
double set of twelve hours represented
on our watch and clock faces The an
cient inhabitants of Mesopotamia
chose the number twelve as an arith
metical base because it has four divis
ors viz while ten has only two divis
ors viz two and five They counted
twelve hours in the day and twelve in
the night measuring the day by the
progress of the sun and the night by
the progress of the stars across the
sky This system prevailing over all
others has come down to us and so
our watches bear on their faces a sou
venir of those ancient days when the
sun served for a clock hand half of the
time and the stars the other half
Makinpr Railroads Smoother
The fact that within the past fifteen
years two thirds of the unevenness in
railroad tracks has been done away with
on certain lines was discussed at a re
cent meeting of the New York Acad
emy of Sciences The improvement has
been brought about principally through
new designs and methods of manufac
ture of rails A track indicator car
traveling twenty or thirty miles an
hour sums up the inequalities the
ups and downs in the rails for each
mile traversed Formerly the total
Inequality per mile amounted to six
or seven feet even for the best roads
now it has been reduced to only eigh
teen or twenty inches and this rem
nant is said to be due to dents in the
rails It was pointed out that the im
provement which may be carried far
ther brings with it heavier locomo
tives and cars longer trains and higher
speed
Hauled
To make a mad dog to order tie a tin
pan to his tail A man made mad is
one who after suffering ten fifteen or
twenty years with rheumatism finds
that by the use of a bottle of St Jacobs
Oil he is cured He feels the waste of
his life in pain with the loss of time
place and money and then reflects that
for the expense of 50c he could have
saved all this and lived free of pain it
is enough to make him mad Most of
our sufferings are intensified by delay
in seeking relief and there is much
worth knowing as regards the cure of
pain that we find out at last only by
the use of the best cure It is worth
knowing that for the cure of rheuma
tism there is special virtue in The
Great Remedy for Pain St Jacobs Oil
and as so much can be saved by its use
the cost Is really nothing

Womans Nerves
Mrs Piatt Talks About Hysteria
When a nerve or a set of nerves supplying1
any organ m the body with its due nutri
ment grows weak that organ languishes
When the nerves become exhausted and i
die so to speak the organ falls into de
cay What is to be done The answer is
do not allow the weakness to progress
stop the deteriorating process at once
Do you experience fits of depression alter
nating with restlessness Are your spirits
easily affected so that one moment you laugh
and the next fall into convulsive weeping
Again do you feel somethinglike a ball rising
m your tnroat and threatening to choke you
all the senses perverted morbidly sensitive to
light and sound pain in ovary and pain es
pecially between the shoulders sometimes loss
of voice and nervous dyspepsia If so you are
hysterical your uterine nerves are at fault
You must do something to restore their tone
