Show GEE8E CATCH HIS FISH. Scotchman's Simple and llnlqua La. Device. "An old Scotchman and neighbor o mine," said a resident of Greenwood Lake, "baa a method of taking fresh water fish which, to my way of think ling, excels all others for the ease, re pose and success with which it Is con ducted. The fisherman desires, we Iwlll say, a mess of bass, pickerel or pike, with which the waters are amply stocked. Well, he simply goes to his barnyard and selects a big goose, or half a doxen geese, as the case may be, and ties a baited line about five feet long to their feet. On reaching the edege of the lake, with a basket containing one or more geese, the fisherman turns the birds . into the water. The geese swim out, and the old Scotchman lights bis pipe and sits down. In a few minutes a fish sees the bslt and seises It, glv lng the goose a good pull. Then the bird starts for the shore at full speed, frightened half to death, dragging the fish upon the bank, where it it unhooked." bor-Bavi- I 1 CANNIBALS UP TO DATE. Tribe Has Some Idess of Civilisation. g The Battas of North Sumatra have a postal system. They maka use of hollow tree trunks at cross roads, and these primitive letter boxes are largely patronised by young men and women, who read, and write, and correspond in a degraded native script, which is traced on palm leaves in vertical, lines that run upwards and from left to right. These Battas, though undoubted cannibals, are skilled in agriculture and in raising stock. They form large communities, have an organised government, hereditary chiefs, popular assemblies, and a written civil and penal code. Their picturesque dwell lags have been compared to Swiss chalets, and the ground floor is re served for their live stock. For their skill in iron work, pottery, and weav lag they are probably Indebted to Hindu teaching, and their repulsive habit is combined with a belief in a triune deity, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.

POISON IN THE t g MILLIONS OF LIFE CLAIMS. Big Business Done by Insurance Companies In 1904. According to the special returns pwde by companies there was paid in tbe entire United States and Canada last year $277,757,-85- 0 in claims, says the insurance Presn. The amount paid In various parts of tbe union varied from n maximum of nearly $59,000,000 in New York to a minimum of $3,000 in Alaska. Pennsylvania was the second state, with something over $18,500,-00Other states where more then $10,000,000 was paid In claims were, in order of amount, Ohio and New Jersey. As New York end Pennsylvania have the greatest population it was but natural that they should lead in the amount of Insurance paid, though Pennsylvania's lead in insurance claims paid is not proportionate to her greater population.

Some said It was Lumbago, bther Sciatica and others again Rheumatism. A few of my friends suggested that It was lead poison, but whatever It was it gave me a great deal of pain; In fact, almost completely crippled me. I had to use two cancs to walk about, and even then U was s very painful task. "A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and I began the treatment After 1 had used the first box I was able to throw sway one of the rsnes and was considerably Improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about free from pain without any assistance, and very soon after I was completely cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot In my case and they will always have my greatest praise." Ssult " SHE MADE HER CHOICE. Mrs. Wlnkleton Regretted the Stem Necessity, but ''Choose between ns!" Wlnkleton folded up his evening newspaper and savagely threw it on the floor.

'An exciting adventure with a tiger occurred at Sabi recently," says a South African paper. "The beast was seen going from L. Bangers place, dragging a calf toward a dense bush, which lay close by. Mr. Banger could not leave the store until nearly sundown and by that time the tiger had eaten nearly half the calf. On coming up to him Mr. Banger fired and managed to break the animal's left shoulder, but it was too dark to follow. Next morning he set out with a oouple of dogs and a few hoys. As soon as the dogs bayed him the tiger commenced growling, but he could not be seen for the dense hush. All of n sudden he dashed out, passed Mr. Banger and caught one of the boys, whose flesh was very badly torn and had to be sewed up by doctor. Mr. Banger, being afraid of shooting the hoy, ran up to the tiger and broke his neck with the gun. The animal measured from nose to tail seven feet six inches. Predatory i Savage Wild Buffalo. A Ceylon newspaper prints ths fob lowing regarding the head of a wild buffalo, which was shot in that Island recently: Both the horns were badly worn off. This was probably caused by the animal's constantly digging up the ground with Its huge horns at the least excitement or on seeing nn enemy at a distance. It Is said that the animal was a savage and dangerous brute, and the mere appearance of the huge head clearly shows It to have been so. A bullet was found Imbedded nn inch deep In the neck of the buffalo, close behind the left ear, it having been previously shot at by some one, evidently at a very long distance.

Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is tbe moat wonderful Aon ie and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognised the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to he frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkhama Vegetable Compound In severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be relied upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves It. Dr. H. C.

When Thackeray was a candidate for parliament from the city of Oxford some one remarked to him that he must be well known to moet of those whose votes he sought. "Now," said Thackeray, laying down his knife and fork and holding up a finger, "there was only one man among all that I went to see who had heard my name before and he was a circulating librarian. Such Is mortal fame!" That was in 1857 and "Vanity Fair" bad been published ten years. Keep Out of Ruts.
