HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own
Peculiar Method of Seizing
Its Prey.
Those who obtain their knowl
edge of how wild animals pounce
upon their prey, be it a human
being or a fellow brute, from
the picture books will have to
revise their ideas if they are
made true to life. Most of the
conceptions are entirely wrong,
according to the statement of a
close student of such things.
“In seizing their prey tigers
and lions almost invariably go
for the throat,” he says, “though
in one or two instances that have
come under my.notice of animals
killed by tigers they have evi
dently first been hamstrung.
These, probably were the victims
of young and inexperienced ti
gers. I once saw a man charged
and knocked over by a panther
and he only saved his throat by
putting up his arm, which, as
well as his shoulder, the animal
grasped with teeth and claws.
“Anyone who knows anything
about elephants must be aware
that the trunk, and particularly
the tip of the trunk, is the most
delicate and sensitive part v#
the animal and that he shield
it from injury by every possible
means in his power. It is, there
fore, very unlikely that he would
expose it in the act of charging.
My experience, limited though it
be, points to the fact that an
elephant, once he has made up
his mind to charge, curls up his
trunk tight.
“Bisons and buffaloes when
they charge invariably poke
their noses in the air and com
mence running at you with their
heads well up, much in the man
ner of domestic cattle, and only
lower their horns when within a
few yards of the object of their
attentions. This I take to be a
mere matter of common sense
on the part of the animal, for if
he puts his head down, say even
40 yards away, he could not pos
sibly see where he was going.
“Bears when wounded will
often get on their hind legs and
dance about from sheer rage and
will also at times do so in order
to get n better view of the where
abouts of their enemy, but when
they charge, whether it be at a
man mounted or on foot, they in
variably charge on all fours.
“In charging most animals
give vent to certain vocal sounds
—grunts or roars—and this, it
is natural to suppose, is done
with a view to terrifying and de
moralizing the object they are
attacking—in fact, more often
than not it is a mere bluff on the
animal’s part. I have often seen
tigers roar when charging who
never really mean mischief and
who when met by a bold front
turned off.”
A BIT OF HENNERY LORE.
What Makes Brown Eggs Brown Re
vealed by a Woman Who Is
Onto Store Tricks.
“You have just started house
keeping, Maud,” said the visitor to
the bride of a few weeks, accord
ing to the New York Sun. “I have
been married a year now, and have
learned a great deal about dishon
est practices of shopkeepers..
“Tradesmen are up to all sorts
of tricks. The other day I went to
the dairy to get some eggs. Would
you believe it, the girl in charge
tried to make me believe that the
brown eggs were better than the
real white ones? She came from
a farm, too, which is a surprising
thing.”
“Why, I always thought the
brown eggs were the best,” said
the bride of a week. “I am sur
prised to learn that they are not.”
“No, indeed, they are not. Do
you know how they get brown?
Well, it’s from lying around the
store so long. They just get stale
and take on that brown look. Oh,
they can’t fool me! When I began
housekeeping, I did not know that
the storekeepers laid an egg down
on the counter and stamped it
Tresh laid.’ I know their tricks
now, though.”

Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.
Pimples, boils, muddy complexion, headache, backache and
a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood.
Rhematism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, 6curvy, scrofula, etc.,
result from impurities forced into the blood with food or drink, or from
the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Bend us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.

Time Tells
The Story.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
