prescription known to the profession
for treatment of kidney and bladder
diseases, and says he lias never found
anything so effective in both chronic
and acuto kidney and bladder trouble
as Foley's Kidney Cure. It stops
irregularities and builds up the
whole system.—Anders and Philipp.

Men Past Sixty in Danger.
More than half of mankind over

many old men ot this disease. Mr.

MVWUM^W
NAMES OF ANIMALS.
The Meanlnor of Some of Those Wkou
Origin We Cau Trace.
Some of the names of the common
est animals are lost in the dimness
of antiquity, such as fox, weasel,
sheep, horse, dog and baboon. Of the
origin of these the clew Is forever lost.
"With camel one cannot go further
back tbau the Latin word catuelus, and
elephant is derived from the old Hin
doo word elpb, which means an ox.
The old root of tbe word wolf meant
one who tears or rends.
Lynx Is from the same Latlu root
as the word lux (light) and probably
was given to these wildcats on ac
count of the fierce brightness of their
eyes. Lion is, of course, from the
Latin leo, which word, in turn, is lost
far back lu the Egyptian tongue,
where the word for the king of beasts
was* labu. The compound word
leopard is first found In the Persian
language, where pars stands for pan
ther. Seal, very appropriately, was
ouce a word meaning of the sea close
to the Latin sal, the sea.
Puma, jtiguar, tapir and peccary
(from paquires) are all names from
South Auiericau Indian languages.
The coyote and ocelet were called
coyoti and ocelote by the Mexicans
loug before Cortes landed on their
shores.
Moose Is from the Indian word
mouswnb, meaning wood eater
skunk, from seganku, an Alg#iquln
term wapiti In the Creek language
menus white deer, and was originally
applied to the Rocky mountain goat,
but the name is now restricted to the
American vlk. Caribou Is also a na
tive Indian word opossum is from
possowne, and raccoon is from the In
diau arrathkuue (by further apbere
sls soon).

Victory came to Nelson with start
ling suddenuess. He had been the
recipient of an unending tattoo of
blows directed with beautiful precision
by Britt, when the Dane Hashed left
and right to Jaw and the struggle was
ended. It was a clean knockout. The
ten seconds were counted and at the
end of the time the victory was given
to Nelson, it Is estimated that the
winner will get $23,000 and tlie loser
$12,500.
Rhinoceros Is pure Greek, meauing
nose horned, twt beaver has ludeed
bad a rough time of It in Its travels
through various languages. It is hard
ly rccoguizable us bebrus, babru and
bru. The latter is the ultimate root
of tlw? English word brown. The orig
inal application was doubtless on ac
count of the color of the creature's
fur. Otter goes back to Sanskrit,
where it Is udra. The significance of
this word Is in its close kinship to
udan, meaning water.
The little mouse hands its name
down through the years from the old,
old Sanskrit, the root meaning to steal.
The word rat may have been derived
from the root of the Latin word va
dere, to scratch, or rodere, to gnaw.
Rodent is derived from the latter term.
Cat is also in doubt, but Is first rec
oguized in catulus, a diminutive of
cunis, a dog. It was applied to the
young of almost any ^nimfll. as the
English words pup. kitten, cub, etc.
Bear to the result of tongue twisting,
from the Latim fera, a wild beast.
Deer is of obscure origin, but may
have been un adjective, meaning wild.
Elk is derived from the same root as
eland, and the history of the latter
word is an interesting one. It meaut
a sufferer, uud was applied by the
Teutons to the elk of the old world
on account of the awkward gait and
stiff movements of this ungainly ani
mal.
Squirrel has a poetic origin lu the
Greek language, its original meanlug
being shadow tail. Tiger Is far more
Intricate. The old Persian word tlr
meant arrow, while tighra signified

with which the tiger leaps upon fta
prey.—Detroit News-Tribune.

Yankee dispatch characterizes the
court ruliugs of a Toronto magistrate,
of whom Johu Foster Fraser tells in
his book, "Canada as It Is." The mag
istrate, who is reported to have got
through with forty cases in forty min
utes, was once asked how he managed
it. "You must have some
system," was
the suggestion.
"I never allow a point of law to be
raised," was tlie magistrate's prompt
reply. "This is a court of justice, not
a court of law.
"Not so very long ago a young at
torney wanted to quote law against
my sending his man down for six
months. He wanted to quote Mathews^
I think.
'Well,* said 1, 'Mathews may be a
great authority on law, but I guess he
hasn't as much authority as I have
in this court. Your man goes dewn.
for six months.'"
