Rain and Animals. “Lions, tigers and all the cat tribe dread rain,” said a zoo keeper. ‘‘On a rainy day they tear nervously up and down their cages, growling and trem bling. We usually give them au extra ration of hot milk. That puts them to sleep. Wolves love a gray day of rain. They are then very cheery. Treacherous as the wolf is, no keeper need fear him on a rainy day. He is too happy to harm a fly. Snakes, too. like rain. They perk op wonderfully as the barometer falls and the damp makes itself felt in their warm cases of glass. “Rain makes monkeys glum. They are apt from instinct, when they see it through the window, to clasp their hands above their beads and sit so for hours. That attitude, you know, makes a kind of shelter. It is the primitive umbrella. So, when it rained, the naked primitive man and woman sat gloomily In the primeval swamps of giant ferns.” A Mouse and a Candle. At the end of the bathing season, a few years ago. a candle was left on the mantelpiece of a family in Pouli- gnen, France. When they returned the next spring they found, according to La Nature, that a mouse had done these things: Climbed somehow a marble chimney piece, there being no piece of furniture near enough to leap from and no way of descending from above. Climbed tbe candlestick itself, which was of highly polished silver, over ten Inches high, with a broad flare at tbe eop. Climbed tbe candle, began eating at the top, eating evenly all round down to the base, leaving the bare wick standing nil perfectly straight. If the mouse bad begun at tbe base of tbe caudle, its weight would have caused it t<» topple over It must have taken the mouse a good many days to eat the candle down to the bottom.

When the Urst suspension bridge thrown over Niagara there was a great and tumultuous opening ceremony, such as tbe Americans love, and many of the great ones of tbe United States assembled to do honor to the occasion, and among them was Roscoe Conkling. Conkllng was one of the most brilliant public men whom America has pro duced—a man of commanding, even beautiful, presence and of perhaps un paralleled vanity. He had been called (by an opponent) a human peacock. After the ceremonies attending the opening of tbe bridge had been con cluded Conkling. with many others, was at the railway station waiting to depart; but. though others were there, he did not mingle with them, but strut- ted and illumed himself tor their ben efit. posing that they might get the full effect of all his majesty. One of the station porters was so impressed that, stepping up to another who was hurrying by trundling a load of luggage, he Jerked his thumb in Conk ling’s direction and— “Who’s that feller?” he asked. “I* he the man as built the bridge?” The other studied the great man a moment. “Thunder! No,” said he. “He’s the man as made the falls."—H. Perry Robinson in Putnam’s Magazine. Had a Treat For His Wife. Dr. George Harvey, a local veter Inary physician, was called to a stable not long ago to minister to a borse that was down with colic. It was a serious case, and the doctor saw that the only way to save the borse would be to insert a tube In Us side and allow the gas on its stomach to escape. Just liecause he thought It would star tle the owner of his borse Harvey struck a match ami lighted the gas at the end of the tube. The man didn't say much at the time, but he was prop erly Impressed. He had never heard of using a horse for an illuminating plant. The next day when Dr. Har vey came around to see how the horse was getting along—it was all over the colic then—the owner tapped him on the shoulder. “My wife was away yesterday,” he said, “but she’s home now. Just light up the horse again, will you? I want her to see It.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer CURES MALARIA Malaria is due to impurities and potooos in the blood. Instead of rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery condition that it is no longer able to ksep the system In health, or ward of the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and ws See pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic disease, ftnd as the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a constant tired-out and no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour ishment and healthful qualities in the blood causes boils and abscesses, skin affections, and in some cases sores and ulcers to break out, and sometimes the patient is prostrated with a spell of malarial fever which may leave his health permanently impaired To cure Malaria both a blood purifier and tonic are necessary, in order to remove the cause and at the same time build up the system from its weakened and run-down condition. S. S. S. is the medicine best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers, and the purely vegetable ingredients of which it is composed make it the greatest and safest of all tonics. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it removes the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. 8. cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health is renewed.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, QwL During 1900 I wm running a farm oo the Mississippi river and became so impreg nated with Malaria that for a year I was almost a physical wreck. I tried e number of medicines recommended ae blood purlfl- ara, chill cures, and Malaria eradlcaton, but nothing did me any good until I began to use S. S. S. The remit was that after taking it for awhile I was as well anS strong as I ever was. I have never had a chill since nor tbe slightest symptom of Malaria. I hope others wUl be benefited by my experience, and with that end in view I give this testimonial, knowing that 8. 8. S. is the best remedy for Malaria. Amory, Miss. 8. R. COWLEY. Chinese Sun and Moon. In China the sun and moon are brother and sister. The moon is the elder brother, who looks after bis rath er silly sister, tbe sun. This is exactly the reverse of our legends, which make the sun tbe day king and the gentle moon lady of the night. One day in China, so the legend runs, tbe sun asked the moon if she couldn’t go out at night. The moon answered very sternly: “No. You are a young lady, and it would be improper for you to go out after dark.” Then tbe sun said. “But the people keep looking at me when I go out In the dayflme.” So the moon told her to take tbe golden needles that she wore in her hair and stick them into the eyes of people when they stared at her. This is the reason why no one can look at the sun without pain. Sothorn and Laura Kaon*. While la New York and before be had made any hit the elder Sothem had a dispute with Laura Keene con cerning some trivial affair at a re hearsal. and Miss Keene went into one of her tantrums. After tbe quarrel on the stage she retired to her dressing room and, still angry, sent for Sothem and began to rate him fiercely. “Stop, Laura—stop Just a minute!’ interrupted tbe comedian, and, advanc ing to the light be deliberately turned it down. “What do you mean by that sir?” she demanded, in a rage. “Oh, nothing,’’ replied Sothem, “but you have always been so lovely to me that I can’t bear to look upon your beautiful face when yon are in a pas slon. Now go on!” Subscribe for The Ledger. $1.50. Halt!
