Tho Fullness Thereof j
Amid tlic discomforts of life nnd
tho fullness thereof reaching to every
family there is that which can so easily
mitigate or entirely cure the wonder
Is why we endure and suffer so much
From big pains to little aches which
are tile wear and tear of the physical
structure of man there are always rem
edies good better and best The choice
should be always for beat as the surest
and the cheapest In chronic or acute
suffering -with rheumatism neuralgia
sciatica or lumbago or with the minor
ailments of sprains aiid bruises or of
soreness and stiffness the efficacy of St
Jacobs Oil and the fullness thereof in so
many complete and perfect cures make
it stand out as the best remedy for pain
Why then should we stand on the or
der of going for it and not go at once
In numberless cases the aggravations
of discomforts and pains rre from de
lay Why should we suffer
Feeding Elephants
Elephants in the Indian army are

rice done up in five two pound pack
ages The rice is wrapped in leaves
and then tied with grass At the com
mand Attention each elephant
raises its trunk and a package is thrown

method of feeding not a single grain of
rice is wasted

ed so aiuch benefit that I used five more
Interviewing the Alderman
and was entirely cured I sained twenty

recommend them

Imperative requisitions by the govern
ment authorities for the production of
bunting for navy flags are what in
sure the superiority so well known to
characterize the American article The
regulations prescribe that the fabric be
made entirely of wool of the best qual
ity and show no imperfections the
weight to be five and one fourth pounds
avoirdupois per piece of forty yards of
ten inch width the yarn to be evenly
spun the warp and filling to contain no
lass than thirty four threads to the
inch and the warp two ply with one
ply filling properly twisted further a
tensile strength is required of sixty
five pounds for the warp and fortj five
pounds for the filling in test pieces two
inches wide
The colors must be as fast as it is
possible to make them and not liable
to be seriously affected by being soaked
continuously for twenty four hours in
fresh water and then thoroughly wash
ed in water with which is combined a
good grade of laundry soap
Every stripe and device on the flags
made of this superb material is meas
ured with the most perfect geometrical
accuracy ard the stars are put on so
carefully and evenly that when the flag
is held up to tho light the stars which
are made of muslin and put on both
sides appear to be a part of the fabric
The stars are cut with chisels out of
bleached muslin laid thirty thicknesses
together on a large open block

Most Costly Leather in Market
The most costly leather now in the
market is known to the trade as piaao
leather American tanners years ago
discovered the secret of making Rus
sia leather with its peculiarly pungent
and lasting odor but the secret of
making piauo leather is known only to
a family of tanaers ia Thuriugia Ger
many This leather has but one use
the covering of piano keys A peculiar
thing about it is that the skins from
which it is tanned are prepared almost
entirely in America It is a particulai
kind of buckskin The skin of the com
mon red or Virginia deer will not make
the leather a species of the animal
known as the gray deer and found only
in the vicinity of the great nomliern
lakes alone furnishing the material
The German tanners have an agency
in the West which collects the skins of
this deer from the Indians and the half
breed hunters who supply the market
When the skins are returned to this
country as piano leather they cost the
piano manufacturers from lo to 1
a pound The worlds supply of this in
valuable and necessary material is sup
plied by tiie Kutzchman family of tan
ners who have six establishments in
Germany the largest in Thuriugia
Chicago Tribune
Origin of a French Habit
Shrugging the shoulders in cold
weather is probably the survival of an
old imstLnct wliieh prompts animak to
put the ikin of the back on the stretch
and so erect the hairy covering of that
part The hair is now reduced to a
mere downy covering but the old in
stinct still remains m common with
others the rule apparently being that
all instincts which are harmless to
their possessors are constant in spite
of any change of structure All animals
witih long hair or feathers erect their
coats in cold weather for the warmth
of snch a covering depends on its
thickness and the amount of air it con
tains rather than mi its bulk

these have made Hoods Sarsaparilla

Birds Fighting Kites
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur
poses Large birds are always interest
ed in the strange devices floating in
the air and cannot quite make out what
they are Prompted by sharp curiosity
they hover around the floating kites and
subject themselves to the danger of
becoming entangled in the silken string
and being dragged down to earth No
bird however has ever alighted on a
kite or attacked one While one scien
tist was flying a train of five kites a
couple of years ago a large silver-tipped
eagle came suddenly out of the
higher air and swooped round and
round the first kite looking against the
sunset sky like a huge silver ball As
the train of kites was pulled in the
eagle followed visiting one kite and
then another seeming uncertain just
what to do In a few minutes when
he seemed to have decided that they
were not good to eat and he knew
nothing about them anyway he indig
nantly flew off and was lost to view
Another experience was had with a
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and flew straight
for thequeer object in the air He ap
parently had made up his mind to go
straight through it but changed and
dived underneath He went around
and above it and through a glass it
could be seen that he cocked his eye
at the intruder in a comical manner
He started away a few hundred feet
changed his mind and came swooping
back He finally reluctantly went away
mystified over this queer addition to
the inhabitants of the air While kites
were high in the air one March a flock
3f geese flying in the B wedge flew over
They invariably stopped broke up and
hovered alove the queer object and
at last slowly reformed and flew away
While the larger birds all come from
heights above the kites the small birds
of the air will alight on the string hold
ing the kite and sway to and fro Chi

CHEAP AT THE PRICE
Alan in the Sandwich Islands Had
Posted Him
He made a hearty meal at one of the
restaurants near the Third street de
pot and as he rose up with his hand in
his pocket he said to the proprietor
Two years ago in the Sandwich
Islands I met a man from this town
The bill is 55 cents said the pro
prietor as he crooked his finger
Yes I know And the man casually
observed that some day or other I
might find myself in this town
Please hand over your bill sir
Certainly and he added that if I
ever did and felt hungry and was dead
broke to call on you He couldnt re
member your name but he said you
were called the man with the big
heart
I want 55 coats sir exclaimed
the proprietor
I know you do And the man added
ihat while you didnt profess to run
an orphan asylum you never refused
to chalk it down in the case of an un
fortunate You may put my account on
the slate
You pay cash or get the boot said
the proprietor as he came out from be
hind the counter
That was another matter he refer
red to continued the stranger He
said that at rare intervals you gave a
man the boot but the kicks were few
in number and lightly administered
If in your judgment
In my judgment Ill kick your heels
over your head shouted the proprie
tor as he seized him and led him to
the door
The Detroiter whom I met in the
Sandwicli Islands said that you some
times blustered ajid blowed around
but it was only for moral effect
Ill moral effect you you old dead
neat Take that anv that and that
Seven vigorous kicks were adminis
tered the last of which lifted the man
Into the street He crossed over turned
sbont on the curbstone and called
across
I counted em and there were only
seven Seven times eight are fifty six
or not quite S cents a kick Say old
man I like your large hearted and lib
eral way of doing things Call it even
S cents a kick and lemme come over
and eat 50 worth of grub Detroit
