lightning kills wild boars
Five Oat of SI* Imported from the
Black Foreiit Strack To»cther
» In I’lke County.
Five of six wild boars Imported from
the Black Forest in Germany at a cost
of $100 each were lately killed by light
ning at Porter’s Lake, Pike county. Pa.
They were brought over by Weissbrod
& Hess, of Philadelphia, and were in
tended for breeding purposes, and it
was proposed to turn their young loose
in the forest, reports the New York
Sun.
The animals had only just arrived
and were still in their boxes, which
were piled under a tree. When the
storm was at its height a bolt descend
ed, striking the tree and running down
it to the animals. One in a box on top
of the others escaped, but those below
were Instantly killed. It is said their
places will be supplied by other impor
tations.
The propagation of wild boars in this
region is not a new experiment. Some
wears ago Otto Plock, a wealthy broker
of New York and London, whose sum
mer home was on the west side of the
Shawangunk mountain, not far from
Port Jervis, turned out several wiki
boars in his mountain park. For a time
they thrived until at last they broke
through the inclosure and committed
depredations on the neighboring
farms. The farmers turned out with
dogs and guns, but were never able to
capture any of them. They were hunt
ed day ami night. They finally took up
their abode in Sullivan county, where
hunters tried in vain to kill them.
Judge \Y. H. Crnue, of this place, broth
er of the late Stephen Crane, was the ;
only person who successfully brought
down one of these wild boars. What has
become of the remainder of the ani
mals is a mystery, as they have disap
peared. It is believed they all died.
MILES FAVORS GOOD ROADS.
Commander of the Tutted State*
Army Illustrate* Their Great
Importance.
If Gen. Nelson A. Miles had his way
the roads of the United States would
be equal to t se of any country on
the globe. He tells a story of an old
teamster out west who was driving
over a very rough road in the Rocky
mountains shortly after the Geronimo
campaign. He had the general for a
passenger. The wagon was an old
prairie schooner, without springs or
cushions, and the general was vainly
attempting to fall asleep, saj's the Chi
cago Chronicle.
“But there was no sleep for me on
thnt trip,” says Gen. Miles, “for the
old rascal drove over every bowlder
In the road; in fact, he seemed to be
doing it purposely. Finally I became
interested, and began to count the
number of rocks over which the wheels
of the wagon passed or which they
struck. Suddenly, to my consterna
tion, he missed1 one—a huge bowlder
in the middle of the roadway.
“‘Whoa! IJe3’!’ I cried. ‘Back up!
Back up!’
“He ouietlv followed mv instruc
lions, seeming to be not at all surprised
by them. When he had his wagor
In the proper position I said: ‘Now,
drive over that rock, confound you!
It’s the only one you’ve missed.’
“Without so much ns a glance in my
direction, lie repliedi: ‘Cert, pnrd.
Never noticed it. Ain’t got a chew
about yer?’
“1 got out and walked the remaining
eight miles.”
SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.
Inhabitants of Indlnna Town Or«iui
tze Niwbt IIiinth and Kill
the Pe»tn with Suit.
A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af
flicted people call them, lately struck
Jeffersonville, Ind., in full force, and
Instances are cited where persons have
been compelled to move. Their first
appearance was after the flood of Feb
ruary, 1884, but they have never been
60 bad as at present. The pests are
not exactly like a snail, but resemble
them in some respects. They have no
shells and are night raiders, says the
New York World.
At no place in the city where the
flood water failed to reach has one of
the slugs been seen, but in the most
fashionable quarters the pests are
numerous. In size they range from
one to six inches in length, being from
a quarter to an inch in diameter. It is
• not until ten o'clock at night that the
snails come out of their hiding places,
under houses, and slug hunting parties
have become fashionable.
Armed with a lamp and a cup of salt,
the people hunt for the pest, and when
a slug is found its days are numbered,
for the smallest particle of salt means
■ death. The more salt the quicker the
I work.
They leave behind a slimy track, that
I furnishes a clew to their movements.
I In some places fine carpets have been
; ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
One of the most peculiar character
istics of the slugs is their ability to get
their large bodies through a small
space. They flatten out almost as thin
as a knife blade, allowing them to crawl
through a good-sized door crack.

the change of life which was
j fast approaching. While vis
[ iting with a friend I noticed
that she was taking your
Wine of Cardui, and she was
so enthusiastic about it that I
decided to try a bottle. I ex
perienced some relief the first
month, so I kept on taking it
for three months and now I
menstruate with no pain and
I shall take it off and on now
her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health sel
dom live ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel
dom fails to live on in happiness,
years after she has passed 60. This
is truly a critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,
Ohio, recognizes the change of life
as a dangerous period and she also
has faith in Wine of Cardui. She
writes:
“As I had always been troubled more
or less at the menstrual period, I dreaded
until I have passed the climax* I do not
dread it now, as I am sure that your
Wine of Cardui will be of great benefit
at this time.”
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to
re-inforce a woman against the shock
that comes with the change of life.
It re-establishes healthy functions
after years of suffering. In doing
this it has saved thousands of suf
ferers just in time. Do not wait
until suffering is upon you. Thor
ough preparations should be made
in advance. Begin the Wine of
Cardui treatment today.
