Lit Cattle and Horses Aro Their chief Victims, ;Which They Prefer to Hu- i Man Belays --Their Chisel -elks Tooth and• Peculiar .interior Anatomy. 'Ralf ;a dozen of us bad been telling What we 'bought we tutew about blotldbpcking bats, but our conversa- tion bad developed only an astonisb- Itlg amount of mlalnformatlou and ' a * lncducilable differences. So we called trot the doctor wbo had lived some years In Brazil and asked biro to comb out. our tangled Ideas. "l'nunot surprised at your contu- don. ' ' he began, "for at one time or anther. I have believed above every- thing your questions would suggest. Wen' l was a schoolboy tbe vampire was a het as large as a crow. nod a horn on his nose acid was described as sltting on his victim's feet, tanning bine with his wings while be worked .hta, pumping apparatus. There is sucb- e4, bat. but wben it was proved that it was lc fruit eater many of us doubted • 'the whole bat legend along witb the ` old mythology. There is a bloodsucking vampire, however -millions of them. "The old Spanisb conquistadors found proof of its existence in sore , great toes, which looked as if the skin `• ' p had been delicately shaved ott. just deep enough to ooze blood. but they 'never caught oue and naturally laid the blame to the biggest ones they :found. which are nearly all vegetari- ans, The real thing is a small reddisb '' brown creature closely resembling bats of the same color caught here not In- frequently. "The naturalist finds, however, some surprising differences. They have no teeth for any purpose save for thin- ning the skin - not enough for the ",, tiffii' to flow freely, but just sufficient to enable them to draw it by suction. The wound rarely bleeds after they leave it. This preparation is done with a pair of cblsel-like teeth, sharp as a knife. Their interior anatomy differs i • from other animals as well as their teeth. All the other animals, so far as 1 know, have a stomach and necessary organs for couverting food into blood. The true vampire bas only an elon• gated sacklike intestine for the storage of the blood taken. which requires no digestion till it is taken up into, tbe circulatory system. With ueither teeth nor stomach, it bas•no alternative. It must find nourishment ready made. "This peculiarity may or may not account for one very strange thing about its selection of victims. Cattle and horses are the chief ones. Not one human being in a hundred entire- ly satisfies their taste. Not half the people who live among them alt their lives are ever bitten. But if one of a family, for instance. just suits them they'll follbw that person to any part of the house, and no matter how care- fully he may be covered or screened they will find their particular tipple. "The stories of their bleeding people almost to death are true only partly. I have known of one boy who was so persistently followed that, while the loss of blood was small from a single attack, after months of the drain he - was greatly reduced in vitality. He was always bitten. in the seine place - the end of the great toe -and it be- came so lacerated that there was con- siderable subsequent hemorrhage. This; lad was the youngest et four broth- ers.. They all slept In the same room and sometimes changed beds, but none .of the others was ever bitten. "Cattle and horses are attacked al- ways at a spot on the spine just back of the shoulders. where the hair sep- arates in a starlike spot. This in the ;case of a horse is just where the front •end of the saddle comes, and the at- tack therefore makes a vast deal of trouble where every one rides horse- back. A majority of the Brazilian horses and nearly all the cows are bit- ten by these plagues. "Fortunately the pests are mostly confined to the forest country. They :give comparatively little trouble in cit- •ies and villages, though the construc- tion of houses makes it impossible to 'keep them out. In cities tiles are ex- clusively used for roofs and in the `country palm leaf thatching, and all kinds of bats come and go at pleasure. ;One rarely goes to sleep without from one to a dozen flying about the room. ,They are nearly all harmless and are ,welcome because t.iey catch insects. •They all look so much alike that one 'does nbt know which to attack. "How the genuine vampires eluded scientific research so long is a mys- •tery. The species was not positively .fdentifled until the visit of Darwin in the Beagle. It was in the seventies, I think. and there is not at the present !ate' MILBURN'S LAXAoLIVER PILLS BRONCHITIS if Nettect.d, it seen readiestie brags ud our f'rors Fatal. Mr. C.

Zam Buk Curse P les Evidence From All Sources There are so many so-called "re- medies" for piles that sufferers are often at a loss what to try. Piles are caused by distension of the hemorrhoid veins, and the tissue becomes highly inflamed, dry and ' sore. Zam-Buk cools and soothes the inflamed tissue. and the healing essences in Za,m-Buk penetrate the diseased parts, giving ease quickly and eventually curing the most obstinate case of piles. Mr. Geo Harris, of Virden, Man., says: "I suffered acutely from piles, but I am glad to say Zam-Buk gave me ease and brought about nitimate cure.". Mrs 5 Cooke, 468 Pacific Ave,, Win- nipeg, says: "A month ago I was cured by Zam-Bolt of a bad attack of bleeding. piles, to which I had been subject for a long time:" • Mr William Kenty, of Upper Nine Mile River, Hants Co., N. S„ says: "I suffered terribly from piles. Phe pain from these was at• times almost unbearable. I tried various' ointments but everything failed to do me the slightest good. 1 was tired • of trying various remedies, when I heard. of Zam-Buk, but thought, as a last . re- Source, .I would give this balm a trial.

A ease showing how Ferrozone acts. fs illustrated by the following from Mrs. II.. Wright, of Enfield, N.S.: "Six months ago I experienced a serious illness. It commenced. with splitting headaches, dull pains through. my chest and shoulders. I foun.d it hard to get satisfying sleep --would roll and tops, and in the morning felt. tired all over. Then I grew nervous,. lost flesh, got pale, and had heavy dark circles under niY • eyes" My strength got so low I couldn't do housework. I we t. worried and un- able to eat. and fel red • I would not get well. Ferrozone, braced me up in a few weeks.. It seemed to supply wonderful strength.

The latter. whose naive. was Jen- nings, out of revenge, refused to .sec- ond young Wood's nomination, and, instead, proposed himself as candi- date. Naturally, the result was an abso- lute deadlock. Sir Mark was even- tually obliged to come to terms .with his refractory butler, whose nomina- tion he seconded, in order to induce him to second his son. Matters being thus put in train, Sir Mark arranged with Jennings that the latter alone should vote, and the result of this remarkable election. was, Wood (Tory) 1:; Jennings (Whig* 0.

The moment Parliament is dissolved by royal proclamation, the clerk of the crown issues writs for a new elec- tion -writs which have been prepared long before, ane. only need filling in with the names of the officials to whom'they are to be sent. . Nowadays these writs -except those for London -are . sent by registered post, and . arrive' at their destination with a rapidity and certainty un- known. in the days before the .penny post was inaugurtited. In those 'days• writs sometimes went astray, and serious trouble arose. ' One sent to Norwich appears' to have been a long time on the road, and the popu- lace, knowing • that a• writ had been issued, and. suspecting the sheriff of having wilfully delayed it; mobbed his house, and, breaking in the door, dragged him out, and were for, lynch - frig him on the spot. Had it not been for the pluck and presence of mind if a certain John Demme, who res- noel es- 1 the unfortunate man, the sheriff would certainly have been. murdered. Another Norwich writ arrived, odd- ly enough, on the day before the old sheriff was going out and the new one coining into office. The latter lcelirred that he, of course, should '::ecute it; but 'the former objected,. seying that he was in office when the . writ arrived. Neither would give way, so a dead - leek ensued, until a messenger sent ,n. horseback to London could bring ',ark the deeision of the Brown author- ities, They decided in favor of the :iew sheriff; but, in the meantime, the lection was delayed for four days. .11l electidn, writs must be stamped with the •Great Seal.
