Not a remedy that will straighten tho distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—I found the lasts ingredient with which Dr. Shoop s Rheumatic afcmedy was made a perfected, dependable pres&ption. Without that last ingredient. I suecessf®y treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; tmWow, at last. It uni formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded dis-ase. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheunyitic Blood seem todissolve and pass away under tne action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with out help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy See if you are a delinquent ?

An Unusually Fine Enter tainment. The entertainment in the hall over the postoffice on Thursday night was an unusually fine one. The Pace-Kling Recital company is certainly one of great merit.

WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FARM ERS AND FRUIT-BR0WERS. Among the best bird triends that the fruitgrowers have are the woodpeckers, says Country Life in Americs; their strong, chisel like beaks and long bar bed tongues enabling them to secure in sects which, though being hidden in side the bark t f trees, are safe from the attacks of others birds. Though nearly every kind of bird ex hibits a preference for sotn-* ( articular insects, all land birds, from chickadees to hawks, eat grasshoppers or locus s during part of the year, the greatest number besng devoured in August. In one of the reports of the Depart ment of Agriculture it w’as stated that in the eastern had of Nebraska moie than 160,000,000 locust were eaten daily by wrens alone. When we consider that a locust eats fully its own weight of food daily ; we can form some idea of the amount of forage that was saved to the farmers of that region during the locust season In the year book of the Department of Agriculture is a glowing account of some warblers’ work. “In the month of May, 1900, when the apple trees had just expanded rosettes of small leaves and flower buds, multitudes of warbleis of several species were seen going through an orchard, examining these rosettes, and apparently pecking some thing from each. An investigation of the trees not yet reached by the warb lers showed th»t each rosette contain ed frem one to a dozen large plant lice, while a similar investigation of the trees exp ored by the birds revealed few of these insects.” Cuckccosare useful because they eat caterpillars which are protected from other birds by tlieir hairy coats. There is an instance on record whereas many as 25J caterpillars were found in the stomach of one cuckoo. Blue-birds do nothing but good ; insects, all of which a-e peg:s to a greatei or lesser extent (except occasional spiders), forminr more thad three-quarters of their foe ■ Wrens are of great value, as their f >od consists almost entirely of harm ful insects. Rosebreasted grosbeak I and quail help the farmers by eating im nei se quantity of potato beetles a pest too well known to need any des' rip lion, and wliich curiously enough has, s » far as we Know, very few natural enemies. King-birds, like the rest of the fly catchers, live chiefly on insects, most of which are injurious to the agricul turist, Many people condemn kingbirds because they kill bees; for some un known reason they invariably select the drones, so that no harm is done.
