Night Coughing—.
How to Stop It
Night coughing which, through
loss of valuable sleep, often makes
you feel utterly worn-out and use
less during the day, and by quickly
weakening the system lays .you
open to the most dangerous infec
tions, can now be promptly checked
by a very simple treatment. Peo
ple who have hardly been able to
rest on account of coughing spells
have found that they can sleep the
v.hole night through undisturbed
often after the very first trial.
Th« treaiment Is based on a remark
able prescription known as Dr. King’s
New Discovery. Vou simply take a tea
spoonful at night before retiring and
hold It In your throat for 15 or 20 sec
onds before swallowing It. The pre
scription lias a‘double action. It not*
only soothes and heals the soreness and
irritation, but it Quickly loosens and re
moves the plilefrm and congestion whicU
is the real cause of the cough. Th®
result is that you usually sleep as soundly
as a babe the very first night, and tho
cough goes in k v*ry short time.
The prescription contains no opiates or
harmful drugs. Kxcellont for children
as well as grown-ups. For coughs, chest
colds, hoarseness, sore throat, spasmodic
croup, bronchitis, laryngitis and bronchial
asthma. At all good druggists. Ask tor

TELLS OF WILD

How Animals and Birds
" Live on Plain Described
by Major Hingston.
Now York.—In the struggle of h!r<1

inhospitable tracts of the Tibetan
(jlateuti. high above the'ITmit of the
ilimulayan treeline, only those species

V lire are able to survive. Some Inter

W. G. Hingston. a naturalist at
(ached to the* last Mount Everest ex-
leditinn.
There is in Tibet, according to Major
Hingston. a range of temperature char
acteristic of the desert. The differ
ence between day and nlglu Is often
represented by as much as 30 degrees.
The. rainfall is so unnaturally scant
rhnt the dry atmosphere splits the skin
ttud naila^-Aixd-pre ve nta the ordtirary
decomposition of flesh. Fierce winds
blow across from the main range.
These are very similwr to the sirocco,
or the hot southerly wind blowing
from the African coast to Italy, Sicily
md Spain. \
Protective Co’oring.
The majority of the birds are pro-
tectlvely colored. They all live dn the
open plateau where there it nothing to
conceal them from view. The desert
chut‘has white patches on its wings
which disappear from view when the
bird alights. The high-altitude moths
which frequent the moraines at 17,000
feet furnish an extraordinary example
of an adapted species. Their under
warfare- Is^^ry conspicous, but it Is
•ompletely concealed when the Insect
.(lights. Their upper surface, more
over. is a mottled gray t&at blends with
:he granite and the decomposing grit.
The smaller birds escape the winds
by getting behind obstacles. The larks,
finches and ground choughs feed on the
sheltered side of the village and walls.
The choughs face the wind when feed
ing on the pastures, anil the ravens
do likewise when scavenging for ref
use. The Igmmergeyer always faces It
when descending for bones, find the,
kites persistently come round to wind
ward before swooping down to take '
garbage from the ground.
To shelter their offspring from the
flaying winds, a great number of the
birds make their nests in holes. The
butterflies and moths, the wonder of
naturalists, show many interesting
adaptations. They escape being swept
away by *4heir unwillingness to fly.
When they settle down, their resting
gttitude is to spread their wings, press
ing them close against the ground so
as to offer as little resistance to the
air as possible. Their wings are stiff
and rigid and their bodies are clothed
with fur.
No 8«ns« of Fsar.
Many of the wildest birds have lost
(heir sense of fear. The nlddy shel
drake and the bare-headed goose,
which in India are among the most
• timid of birds. In Tibet swim above
the ponds near the villages as fearless
ly as In a city park. The hill pigeons
feed as boldly in the mountain settle
ments as they do in a metropolitan
square. The Same tameness has been
observed in the case of some of the
mammals. Wild sheep, for example,
are naturally very timid. They are
said, however, often to visit the caves
in the Himalayan mountains, where
they accept food from the hands of
the hermits.
The mammals are usually clothed in
thick coats of hair. The ordinary yak
is the best example. Next to Its body
is a layer of wool. Over this Is a
hairy coat that hangs down like an
iapron from its huge body, especially
around its legs. Its neck is provided
with .a strong mane, and behind it sup
ports s large tall of thick and bushy
hair. When the yak Is grazing, he
takes every advantage of tils natural
armor. The animal makes sure to
feed with, his back to the wind. The
thick tail acts as a kind of wind
proof screen. The long hair around
the hind legs adds to the shield, while
the head, being kept low, is sheltered
by the body and protected above by
rhe hairy mane.
Certain birds of the plateau, as a
help In securing food, hare formed

Easter Customs
of the Past
ASTER?” says the New Eng
land child sedately. “New
gloves, a trinket, and a
church full of people with
new spring hats.” ’
“Easter I" says the New Orleans
child a bit •boisterously. “Dyeing
eggs, gathering clover for the Easter
bunny, and next morning finding the
nest It left for you."
To the Washington child egg-rolling
at the White House probably would
be the keynote of Easter. ^
But did you ever stop to inquire as
to the origin of these customs? Did
you know they are even more tiihe-
honored than the very name of the
Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, Eos-
tre, from which we get the word
Easter? Eostre is indeed an ancient

Names, dates and homely sentiments
were written on the egg.
Then there was the “pace” or, more
correctly, ^he ‘tyasch” egg, the mak
ing of which was an art. Many a hot
dispute as to which township pro
duced the most beautiful pace eggs
is hinted at in the chronicles of me
dieval England. To make a pace egg,
the egg was carefully split exactly
in half, the meaty part painstakingly
extracted, and the qgg divided into
compartments by the Insertion of
: mieinbrane-fine pieces of wood. Each
compartment was decorated as the
artist saw fit. The usual pace egg
had a triple division; to the left was
the name, carved in infinitely tiny
wooden letters; to the right, the age
of the maker, and in the center, some
object to denote his trade, or, It might
be, a characteristic. The finished
pace egg was somewhat similar to
the peephole eggs of the present time.
The gentlefolk gave their children
gold leaf-covered eggs. Sugar eggs
