, The Neal treatment cures
drink habit and does away
with the evils resulting from al
coholic poisoning in THREE
DAYS. A longer time would be
superfluous. It drives everj
trace of alcoholic poison from
the system, thus doing away
with the CAUSE of continued
drinking, the cause of drunken
ness, the cause of craving, de
sire and physical demand for li
quor. All .these symptoms are
but the EFFECTS of the accu
mulated poison—the CAUSE if
stored in alcoholic poison.
There are no hyperdermic in
jections, -no disagreeable feat

LANTS, no poison of any kind

treatment with perfect safety.

Mule Found to Be a Good Soldier.
The Cuban and Boer wars .entirely
changed the status of the mule. The
continued demand for army mule6 In
the western markets almost doubled
their price. In the mld'dle nineties a
nice, 16-hand mule could be bought for
$75, but, with the foreign demand,
there came a decided change In the
value placed upon the mule by the
western farmer. Its price went up to
far more than $100.
The value of the mule in warfare
has been well expressed by an emi
nent officer in our army, w'ho has seen
much service in the Philippines. He
levised the proverb about the victory
going to the side with the best guns
in this wise: “Victory is to the army
with the most mules.’’
Our war department expended more
thought on the transportation of mules
to the Philippines than on the trans
portation of the troops. For a long
while nobody thought that a mule
could stand on his sea-legs during a
voyage of 41 days, and trot down a
gangplank in better condition than
when he trotted up. But the Ameri
can mule achieved this.
It has been found that between the
Filipino, the Cuban, the Mexican, and
the mule there is a subtle sympathy.
Adv of these people can take sf mul«
»o unambitious that he will show' no
tesentment when an American tickles
his heels, pet him a little, and talk
to him awhile: then jump on his back
and ride him a long distance,
His ears are not big for nothing. He
is as watchful as a cat. Auy unusual
sound awakens him. He can tell the
tread of art enemy at any hour of the
day or night, aDd is not backward
about lifting up his voice and warning
his superior officers. — Harper’s
Weekly.
Old Olive Trees.
There are few trees that bear edi
ble fruit which are good for more
than a half century, the olive tree
standing alone with its long period
of usefulness to mankind. Some of
these trees are extremely long-lived,
says Harper’s Weekly. There are
3ome in Syria which are known to be
more than 400 years old; and not on
ly are they in a flourishing condition
but they bid fair to bear fruit for
another century or two. The Syrians
have learned much about caring for
trees from Europeans. Formerly
their olive trees were not expected
to produce fruit oftener than once in
three years, but with improved meth
ods of culture they now bear abund
antly each season. In ancient times
ihe olives were threshed from the
rrees with sticks, but now' the Syrians
pick them by hand, thereby preserv
ng their trees and also improving
he quality of the fruit.
To Stop Bleeding.
The flow of blood from cuts or
wounds may be instantly stopped by
binding a handful of flour tightly to
the wounded part. Nose bleeding may
ie checked by inserting a piece ot
white paper, folded several times, be
tween the upper lip and gums. Cold
rater poured on the spine will also
;hc-ck obstinate cases, but if this does
not pieve effective rub the finger
tlmg the lower side of the right jaw
mtll the jugular vein is found, then
iress it lightly and In most cases
,he bleed will soon stop.
