The Herald, 1904-12-16, Page 2DANGER IN SHOOTING BIG GAME. Hunter's Bullets May Not Stop the Brute's Advance. The disturbing element in hunting elephant or seladang or rhino has been always, TO me at least, the feeling of uncertainty as to whether or not I could stop the animal if 1 Wounded it and it charged me, as it did on an average of once in three times. Based on my experience, therefore, I should Dike the elephant first• and the rhino third atter the seladang, which is fully as formid- able as the Capt Buffalo, and is miscalled the bison all over India. Each of these ani- mals is dangerous on different and individ- ual ground; the elephant, though less likely to charge than any of the others, is terrify- ing because of his enormous strength, which stops at no obstacle, and the extreme dif- ficulty of reaching a vital spot, especially U. with trunk tightly coiled, he is coming your way. I know of no sensation more awsome than standing ankle deep in clinging mud k dense cover, with the jungle crashing around you as though the entire forest was toppling, as the elephant you have wounded comes smashing his way in your direction. The seladang is dangerous, partly because it the thick jungle he seeks when wounded, but more especially because of his tremen- dous vitality and his usual, though not in- variable, habit of awaiting the hunter on his tracks, and charging suddenly, swiftly and viciously. It requires close and hard shooting to bring down one of these six foot specimens of Oriental cattle. The danger of the tiger and of the lion is in, their Lightning activity and ferocious strength, but you have the shoulder, in ad- dition to the head shot, If broadside; or if coming on, the chest, all sure to stop if well placed. The reason the rhino is so formidable is because the vulnerable spots are so hard to reach. Its brain ie as small in proportion as that of the eiepnant, and may be reached through the eye, 1f head on, or about three inches below and just in front of or just be- hind the base of the ear, according to your position for a shot.—From Outing.

The old claim that the Democratic party in the, South is a white man's party no longer holds good in Louisville. In fifty precincts in Louisville last Tuesday, the most active workers for the bond issue and for the Dem- ocrat ticket were negroes, and these were not the selt-respecting, intelligent negroes, but the crap -shooters, the ex -convicts and the rowdy class generally, and these men worked side by side in perfect harmony with Democrat policemen and Democratic ward workers. e_ The harder you cough, the worse the cough gets. kilo's w, ons TTheonic Lung is guaranteed to cure.

Among the curious things that arrest the attention on arriving in Mos- cow is the entire absence of whips among drivers of cabs, carriages and all sorts of vehicles. There is a law pro- hibiting their use and there is not a sin- gle whip in use in Moscow. The excel- lent condition of the horses attest the benefit of this humane law. Nothing can exceed the beauty of the sleek and well-groomed horses used in the car- riages of Moscow. Oa► ZEPPELIN'S NEW AIRSHIP, Substantial Encouragement to , Continue His Work.

(New York Medieal Record,) Following the reading of a paper on "Music as a Therapeutic Agent," by Dr. Francis S. Kennedy, before the liiedittal Society of the County of Rings, two methods of admin- 'istration were demonstrated, one by rae piano and the other by the voice, and an endeavor made by each method to illustrate the different impressions which could be conveyed to the listener. Just as a' drug should be put up in a clean package, and as free from 'adulteration as possible, so 'music as a medicine should be as free from error of technique as possible, For this reason, In demonstrating the piano music, a mccuani- cal piano player was used, so that nn false tone should mar tbo harmony and effect, The following examples were then render- ed; As restful music, yet sufficiently stim- ulating to keep Chet mind alert, the Fifth Nocturne, Levbach, piano.

Distemper. Nuisance of Handshaking. Handshaking of a president is a nuisance, a bore, a ',hardship, and a danger, and It seems to have been properly emitted for the ceremony or the reception of President Roose- velt of St. Louis. If the President Inaugur- ates during this present term a needed reform by declining to shake bands at any public reception he will be sustained p suet, ed by sentiment. The popularity of the handshaker is not ne- cessarily lasting, anyway. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, etc. Cost of Commission. The cost of a commission in the Bri- tish army is illustrated in the case of Lieutenant and Riding Master Emery, of the Royal Irish Lancers, who has just gone into bankruptcy, with liabilities amounthz to $3,670. Twenty-five years ago he enlisted in the regiment as a private. He gained an honorary commis- sion in 1594, with an allowance of $750 to cover his expenses. Ile was called on to spend. for new clothes $4.70, for two horses $250, for transit of family to In- dia, $75, for furnishing quarters $600, and for saddlery $100, a total of $1,- 495, of $745 more than the government allowed. him.

Minard's Liniment Cures Garget in Cows a ► Russian Red Cross Women. In all these months of war and blood- shed the patient endurance of the sis- ters of the Red Cross has been the one redeeming feature in the mass of cor- ruption and degenerate manhood which now describes the Manchurian army. In this reference I do not allude to women of social position, who prove as trouble- some to the Russian authorities as did a similar plague to Lord Alilner in South Africa. The hard working, earnest, practical little women, ignorant, but in- dustrious, who devote their time to the welfare of the Russian soldiers, make a beautiful picture. They are fearless. They endure the same fatigues as the soldiers, and, as recent events have proved, they sacrifice very willingly their lives to save their charges. I do not think that any war has produced more touching examples of fidelity to duty than those offered by these badly dressed, plain faced, sweet natured nurses, as they trudge through the rains, through the heat and the dust and the snows of Manchuria. These women quite delight in their calling, and in spite of the reverses, they muster in large num- bers to the roll call when their services are demanded. I have made inquiries about the conditions regulating their ser- vice with the troops, and, certainly on the score of remuneration or generous treatment, there is nothing attractive in the wor.---Fortnightly Review. Leading Business Man of Welland Gives ties Experience With the Great Canadian Kidney Remedy. Welland, Ont., Dec. 5.—(Special.)— There is no better known or more highly respected man in Welland that Mr. J. J. Yokom, Born and bronaht up in the neighboring township. of Crowland, by his own industry 'and sterling honesty he has grown to be one of Welland's leading merchants. Consequently when Mr. Yokom comes out with a statement that he was cured of a. serious illness by Dodd's Kidney Pills, everybody knows it must be so. "For a. year or more- I had Kidney Trouble in all its worst symptoms," says Mr. Yokom. "lIy head was bad, I had no appetite and I lost weight fast. At tines I was entirely incapacitated. I doctored with a physician of vast expe- rience but got no good results. "I became despondent of ever being well again, when by good hick I chanced to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and from the first they seemed to suit my case. Five boxes cured me completely.." see Tolstoi and His Sons. Tolstoy the Great divided his real estate between his five sons before he set out on his reforming mission.

The enthusiastic Frenchman was soon explaining the details of his new dis- covery. Young John Lubbock, as he was then, was playing in the garden, and M. Daguerre, pointing to hien, asked to be allowed to give a practical illustration of the art. The request was, of course, granted, and a successful result followed.

Burns' family Bible is to be offered for sale at Sotheby's London, on Dec. 10.

He in his turn gave it to this niece (who lived with him), the present owner, gars. Sarah E. M. T. Burns IIutchinsn. But the pedigree is only a minor detail in connection with the book, for it contains, on the reverse of the title of the New Testament and in the handwriting. of the poet, several en- tries, giving the dates of his own birth and that of his wife and children. There aro also several entries .in the handwrit- ing of William Nicol Burns, but those in the poet's own handwriting are more than sufficient to attract a world-wide interest. * • ► `iMy Kidneys ore all Wrong!

The rules and customs of polite society are varying, arbitrary and unaccountable. What is allowed this year may be tabooed next. To -day, audiences, irrespective of age, sex and rank, regale their senses of sound and sight by performances in theatres which would create offense if referred to plainly in general conversation. Polite society tol- erates, in one form or another, as many out- rages against decency and modesty as do the uncouth denizens of the woods, plains and mountains. AU classes of mankind err to an inexplicable degree in these particu- lars. It is to be regretted that they do not display more consistency and practical com- mon sense in their customs and prejudices.— Kansas City Journal. $100 REWARD, $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded dis- ease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
