 "BEATS ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN"

SOUTH DAKOTA MAN TELLS OF HIS WIFE'S WONDERFUL RESTORATION TO HEALTH

Here is another wonderful endorsement of Tanlac that will be read with interest by thousands of people throughout this section. R. Blue, well-known retired farmer, residing at 204 East 6th St. Mitchell, S. D., in relating his wife's experience, said:

"The way Tanlac has restored my wife's health and built her up beats anything I ever heard of. About two years ago she commenced having trouble with her stomach, and got to where she couldn't eat anything to speak of. At times the blood would rush to her head, and she got so dizzy she could hardly stand up. She complained of pains in her back and at night she was so nervous and restless she couldn't get the sleep she needed. in fact her health became generally run down, and it worried us a great deal.

"Seeing so much in the papers about Tanlac helping others I got her a bottle and she began to get better in almost no time. Her appetite came back and now she can eat anything she wants and everything agrees with her perfectly.

She has gained several pounds in weight and all her strength has come back to her. She sleeps well, never complains of any pains or of nervousness and, in fact, is once more in splendid health."

HOW ASIATICS TAME EAGLES

Spirits of Fierce Birds Art Broken by Deprivation of Sleep for Long Periods.

The Asiatic eagle is the golden eagle. It is a big bird, many pounds in weight, and exceedingly swift in flight, as well as fierce when attacked. Indeed, to see the natives on horseback carrying golden eagles on their arms is a strange sight, for the birds are usually tame, when one considers how they act when free.

The eagle fancier has a problem in taming, much less training; a golden eagle. The eagle hunter finds where an eagle frequently rests during the day. He climbs to this place and ties a live fox there, trailing the rope into some heaped-up stones to form a cavern in which be hides, firmly grasping the rope.

When the attention of the soaring eagle is attracted by the fox, the eagle drops down and kills it. So intent is the greedy bird on tearing his prey that he doesn't notice the dead fox is slowly being drawn along the rocks. When it is within easy reach the hunter casts a net over the eagle and secures him.

Kept absolutely in darkness, and with drams beating night and day so it cannot sleep, the spirit of the eagle is broken. When he shows signs of submission the trainer feeds him a little at a time and gradually wins his respect, If not his affection with the passage of months the eagle attaches itself to the man who feeds and trains him.—Detroit News.

The Art of Reading.

The printing press has helped liberalize and free the people from tyranny. Books and magazines and newspapers have done much to disseminate knowledge and bring information into the homes of the people. They have promoted the art of reading and stimulated the desire to read more.

At the same time the very multitude of books and periodicals has cultivated a desultory method of reading, a desire to skim over everything and digest little or nothing. Classic writings, the great books of history, biography and fiction have in a measure gone out of fashion. "Solid reading," as it is called, is not often indulged in, and the names of great writers, whose productions will live always, are unfamiliar to many of the present generation.

The excuse is that we live in a very rapid age, and there is no time to read heavy literature. The reason is that most persons have lost their taste for history, for biography, for good reading. They have partaken of the froth for so long they have lost the taste for the substantial.—New York Herald.

Cat's Long and Painful Journey.

Red, New Jersey's champion tom-cat pedestrian, has just completed a hike of sixty-seven miles from a farm which Its owner, Lawrence Blarney; sold a year ago. Thinking his pet cat would prefer field mice to those of the domestic variety, he left Red on the farm. The exhausted feline finally succeeded in finding the new home of his master. Red's claws were worn down to the quick.

NEAR DEATH, HE VISITS HEAVEN

Golden City Viewed From Distance by Victim of Auto Wreck.

Syracuse, N. Y.—Dr. Howard G. Case, professor at Syracuse university, and one of this city's most prominent physicians, told a large congregation at the Furman Street Methodist Episcopal church how he had had a glimpse of heaven and the 'golden city of God, heard a song by a celestial choir and had a conversation with an "old man with white hair and whiskers," presumably Saint Peter.

He told this story while describing his sensations during a recent automobile accident when a car overturned and killed his wife and another woman. Dr. Case was hurt and was in a serious condition for several weeks.

"I did not know anything about the space of time after the car turned over," said Dr. Case, "but I recall hearing a hissing noise. I looked at my wife, underneath the wreck, and she seemed to be very happy. Her face fairly shone with Joy. "We both turned, and then we saw a man with long white hair and whiskers. Then we were amazed to look into the distance and see a golden city. The man asked me who was going to rise up and save the world from wickedness. He said it was getting more wicked all the time. I could not give him an answer. There was one spot in the center of the golden city which seemed to shine brighter than the rest. 1 asked him why this was and he said that that was where God had his throne."

BATTLES LONG WITH FISH

Fisherman After Long Struggle Lands Largest Sword fish Ever Seen at Seabright, N. J. Seabright, N. J.—A 400-pound swordfish, one of the largest ever brought to the shore at Seabright, N. J. was captured near the Middle Banks, about 20 miles from Seabright, after a fight of nearly three hours by Captain Leslie of the Rumson Road colony.

After several attempts to harpoon the fish, Captain Leslie succeeded in spearing it in the side, and Alvin Swanson, his companion, a little later sank another just behind the head. For over two hours longer the monster thrashed about trying to shake out the harpoons, and for a time the boat was in danger of overturning as it trailed the fish in his frenzied efforts to break loose.

At last, as he began to tire, the boat was pulled up to him and Captain Leslie landed two more harpoons behind the head, which took all the fight out of the creature. The finishing touches were soon given, and the carcass hauled into the boat. The fish is said to have brought the largest price ever paid for one of his kind. His sword measured more than three feet in length.

"'Pain Points."

On every human body there are four million "pain points" connected by nerves with the brain. They are, of course, distributed very unevenly. They are placed close together at the tips of the fingers and were furthest apart in the back. Anyone can test this for himself. If you will place two needles one quarter of an inch apart by sticking them into a piece of cardboard you will have a very effective instrument for making tests. Put your finger on these two points and you will, of course, feel both of them. Now apply them to the small of your back and you will feel but one point in other words, the nerve centers in your back at this point are more than a quarter of an inch apart.—Boys’ Life.

Finds Pleasure in Thinking.

Thinking after a while becomes the most pleasurable thing in the world. Give me a satchel and a fishing rod, and I could hie myself off and keep busy at thinking forever. I don't need anybody to amuse me. It is the same way with my friend, John Burroughs, the naturalist. We can derive the most satisfying kind of joy from thinking and thinking and thinking.

The man who doesn't make up his mind to cultivate the habit of thinking misses the greatest pleasure in life. He not only misses the greatest pleasure, but he cannot make the most of himself.—Thomas A. Edison.

Bees Eaten for Revenge.

Bees are usually employed as manufacturers of honey, which is everywhere considered a delicious food, but there are places where the bees themselves serve as a food.

The negroes of Guiana, when stung by a bee, proceed to catch as many as they can and in revenge eat them. It would be interesting to know what happens as an effect of the sting thus taken internally.

In Ceylon the natives hold a torch under the bee swarm banging to a tree, catch them, as they drop, then carry them home, boil them and eat them.—Popular Science Monthly.

Standardization.

"What Crimson Gulch ought to do," remarked Cactus Joe, "is to send east and get a good single teacher."

"You boys surely have enough to interest you without music."

Too much. There's no use of askin' men not to use their voices. Nobody can make an observation on any subject of general interest without startin' a quarrel. What we need is to have somethin' on hand that's cut an' dried an’ set to music."
