“ Pursuant to request I have ex-
amined the preparation known as
SALVA-CEA and find the same to be
composed of perfectlv harmless and
efficient medicinal constituents, prin-
cipally of vegetable origin. Chemical
analysis demonstrates the entire
absence of any metallic poison, such
as lead, mercury; arsenic, copper,
etc., or their salts, as also the entire
absence of any alkaloid, such as
morphine (opium), strychnine, etc.
“ It is not the office of the chemist
to point out the medicinal applica-
bility of any preparation, still, know-
ing the nature of the constituent
elements which compose SALVA-CEA,
I can say that the properties of the
same are so well defined that I am
justified in saying it should accom-
plish the work for which it is
recommended.
“I have the honor to sign myself,
Yours respectfully,

HIGH ART JUMP.
A Little Incident in the Life of the Elder
Sothern. ,
It is related of the elder Sothern
that he was once acting the hero in
a romantic play which required his
leaping from a window in a tall tower
to the stage below, where he alightcd
on a mattress behind a wooden rock
and imcdiately made of rapidly into
the forest. One night he hurt his an-
kle, and vowed he would leap no
more. 'Accordingly the next day his
manager hired a professional circus
performer to do the actual leap, while
the actor would slip back under cover
.of. part of the tower wall and descend
by a. safe but unromantic ladder to
his dressing room. The manager pro-
vided the circus man with a costume
precisely like Sothern’s, to the end
that the illusion might be kept up
with the audience, and sent him to
The man
made the jump, and sent up a lou
complaint. ‘
“that‘s the row?" inquired a
young member of the company, Who
happened to be at the playhouse.
“\Vhy, see here,” exclaimed the pro-
fessional, “this ’ere drop is too dead
easy. A man with a wooden leg "and
Now,
if they’d let me turn two somersets in
the air I wouldn’t make no fuss.”
“Capital!” cried the actor. “Do it!”
“You think the old cove wouldn’t
mind?” said the athlete doubtfully.
“Mind!” returned the young player;
“why, he’d be tickled to death, and
probably raise your salary as well.
Besides, it Would bring down the
house. Do it, by all means.”
That evening when the part of the
performance was reached wherein the
hero took leave of the heroine, Soth-
cm was gratified to see his substitute
crouching in the shadow of the case-
ment ready to leap.
“Love, good night—good night!"
cried Sothern.
“Stay!” pleaded the heroine, cling-
ing round his neck;-“stayl that leap
is—death’”
“Nay, nay, sweet; ’tis honor. I leap,
’tis true, but what in my heart doth
hear me up? Thine image, love!
Good night—good night!”
He kissed her frantically on the
forehead, tore himself from her em-
brace and rushed across the open
space into the shaddw. “Jump!” he
hissed between his teeth. Out into
the air shot the circus man, whirled
around twice like the flywheel of a
steam engine, and lit like a bird on
the highest point of the rock. The
applause came in thunders. The man
bowed stifily and walked Off into the
wings with his arms folded.

ern are lost to history.—Chicago Post
HOW TRAPS ARE MADE.
Accidents that Have Been Caused by the
Devices Set by Hunters.
Traps set bv hunters have often
proved as dangerous to man as the
spring gun over in Brooklyn turned
out to be the other day to the man
who set it to protect his grapes from
thieves. Bob Michael, one of the best
hunters and most thoorough of. woods-
men in northern Herkimer county, N.
Y., walked against a string one night
and was mortally wounded with buck
shot. An old French Canadian trap-
per above the Saranac Lake region
was setting a 17-pound steel bear trap
near an old burning one day, and had
both arms caught between the jaws,
and there his body remained for
weeks.
In Africa a curious trap is used for
elephants. It consists mere-1y of a
long blade of steel in a four-foot log,
of wood, suspended from a tree by
triggers. When the elephant‘ stirs the
string the contrivance drops, burying
the steel between the victim’s shoul-
der blades.
One of the odd things one meets in
forests where bears, panthers and
Wildcats are found is a log house, a
sort of lean-to—camp, with an eight-
inch spruce stick lying over the en-
trance and putting ofi into the woods
fifty or sixty feet. A' hewn plank in-
side the enclosure is arranged so as to
look like a fine resting place for a
foot. Beyond the plank is a chunk of
foul-smelling meat, burnt honey comb
or other bait suitable for the intended
game. Men who use dogs in hunting
detest'such contrivances, for the ani-
mal that steps on the plank has its
back broken by the spruce stick. Such
a deadfall is hard to build, but it is
among the surest of traps for large
game that is not shy of enclosures.
Men set snares for big game, using
wire rope to encircle the beast’s neck
when they venture to touch the bait.
It is a. curious fact that such men
sometimes get a leg in their own trap,
and, are yanked into the air by the
stout sapling tree used as a spring
pole. After a man has dangled with
his head downward trying to climb
the spring pole feet first for a while,
and finally gets down safely, he exer-
cises extra care with his machines
thereafter.

ONE OF .CHICAGO’S DANGERS.
A Dignifled Man Put to Flight by a, Drove
of Hogs. ‘
A drove of hogs, about 200 strong.
was Winding slowly out of the main
entrance of the stock yards the other
day, attended by a number of hog
pelters, who, with the assistance of
broom staves, were walloping the
sWine, now on one side, and now on
the other, as a means of showing
them which way they were to go.
The route laid out for them was
down Forty-first street to Halstead
street, and north to the bridge, where
they were to be transferred to a new
pen.
It is an unusual thing to drive. stock
of any kind out of the yards through
a busy thoroughfare to transfer them,
but for some reason this had to be
done.
The drove drew itself out to the
length of a block, while pedestrians
gathered on the sidewalk to view the
unusual sight. Ainong the spectators
was an elderly and dignified looking
gentleman, with eyeglasses and a silk
hat.
The pigs thoroughly enjoyed their
temporary freedom. In the street
were several puddles and a quantity
of grain, which had leaked from a
wagon, so they were in no hurry. At
Halstead street, on the corner of
Forty-first, the street car tracks were
being repaired, and/a score or more
of laborers were at work. ‘Into the
midst of these men came the advance
platoon, two lines of trolley cars
which cross each other at that cor-
ner being obliged to stop. -
The dignified gentleman took ad-
vantage of the break in ranks, and
attempted to cross the street. when
a vigorous application of the 'broom
handle by the rear guard sent the loi-
tering pigs pell melt to join the oth-
ers.
In the middle of the crossing they
caught the dignified man, who made
one frantic leap to gain the other side,
and then, finding himself surrounded,
began to pelt his tormentors with his
umbrella. He was overpowered by
numbers, however, and it was plain
that unless the drovers came to his
rescue his pride would be doomed to
the mercy of the bystanders, who
were already laughing at him.
As he turned to retrace his steps a
huge mother pig threw her bulk
against his legs. Up in the air went
the old gentleman‘s feet and down on
the flanks of several porkers went his
back. Fora moment the crowd on
the sidewalk waited for a rare spec-
tacle, and then a roar went up as the
old gentleman was borne several
yards distant, with the small of his
back on that of a ponderous hog.
Immediately a group ofpigs gath-
ered around the man’s silk hat.» One
of them poked his nose into the thing,
and tossed it into the air. While he
waited for it to come down his com-
panions stopped to inspect the old fel-
low’s spectacles, which had fallen on
the crossing.
Meantime the dignified gentleman
was rescued by the workmen, who
had been trying vainly to-drlve the
pigs from around the trolley cars.
Gathering up his belongings the Old
gentleman sought refuge from the
jeers of the crowd in a neighboring
barber shop—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The Fox is a Happy Outlaw.
The fox is an outlaw whose scalp is
valuable in many states, and to kill a
fox on a farmer’s land. more espe-
cially near a farmer’s lieu coop, is to
gain the good will of the farmer. But
in spite of the continuous search for
;it by canine and human enemies, in
'spite of bounties. traps and maledic—
tions. the fox comes out smiling every
evening along toward dark, and
wends its way across the fields, lis-
tening with cocked ears for the
squeak of a mouse of the flutter of a
dreaming .bird in a low bush.
Keen eyed and sharp nosed, the fox
discovers what no other animal of the
clearings and woods sees. Where the
owl would pass by, not thinking that
a ground bird was near, the fox eats
the gibund bird. The weasel alone is
so destructive to mice, the cooper’s
hawk so deadly to small birds, and
the white owl and wildcat Scarcely
equal the bushy tailed, smiling fox
when it comes to picking partridge
wings and rabbit ribs. Even the
fawn deer are destroyed by the fox.
if the old doc is not around.
The fox is a good purveyor for food
for its young, and it lays in a supply
that lasts a long time if need be.
Near OldHadden, Conn., the other
day, Arthur S. Burr was going across
a field when he found a partly eaten
woodchuck, and a little beyond a
ruffed grouse. Nearby was a fox’s
burrow with a large black hen and
two more rufied grouse in the en-
trance. The man dug the fox hole
out, since the town of Hadden pays
$2 a head for the foxes, and discov-
ered there eight partridges, three rab—
bits, a woodchuck and five young
foxes. It is probable that the mother
was away after meat.
The fox is a playful creature. With
a full stomach and no danger in sight
it will‘gambol about for hours, jump-
ing sideways and up and down, wav-
ing its big tail aloft and barking for
Sometimes it gets so
interested in its sport that it fails to
notice the approach of man. When
so detected it does not lose its self-
possession a little bit. The corners
of its mouth twitch a little, and then
it trots away with its head up and
tail dragging, as if it didn't care
whether the man was there or not;
but once it gets behind a bush, rock,
or'log, or over a little knoll out of
sight, its head drops, and away the
beast goes, with its tail straight out
behind.
