While on a camping trip in Webster bounty, Mr S. I. Stump, of Norman- town, W. Va., had a severe attack of bloody flux. He says, ' 'I firmly believe that I owe my life to the forethought of on one of the company who had taken along a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." Moral.--Procure a bottle of this remedy before leaving home. It cannot be ob­ tained when on a hunting, fishing or prospective trip. Neither can it be ob­ tained while on board the cars or steam­ ship, and at such times and places it is most likely to be needed. The safe way is to have it with you. Thousands of travelers never leave home on a journey without it. For sale by Julia A. Story. Fed by Ante.

This is the case, for in­ stance, with the curious blind beetle, claviger, which is absolutely dependent upon ants, as Mulley first pom ted oat. It seems to have even lost the power of feeding itself, at any rate it is habitually fed by the ants, who supply it with nourishment as they do one another. Two Dangers Unknown. ' Sunstroke in the arid region is prac­ tically unknown. The rainless air that sweeps over it is necessarily dry and neither breeds disease nor carries their germs. Further than this, the lack of moisture, combined with the configura­ tion, forbids the presence of tornadoes, and it is claimed that the weather bu­ reau has absolutely no record of a cyclone or tornado west of the ninety- seventh meridian. Ckamberlain's Cough Remedy a Oreat Favorite. The soothing and healing properties ol this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and permanent cures have made it a great fayorite with people every­ where. It is especially prized by mothers of small children for colds, croup and whooping cough, as it al­ ways affords quick relief, and as it con­ tains no opium or other harmful drug, it may be given as confidently to a baby as to an* adult.

The pope does his private writing with a gold pen, but his pontifical signa­ ture is always given with a white- feathered quill, which is believed to oome from the wing of a dove, although persons who have seen it say it must have come from a large bird.
