Why?
Five years ago few persons in America
had heard of Ramon's Tonic
Liver Pills and Ramon's
Tonic Pellets. To-day they
lire used in thousands of households.
What has -worked this change ?
1'our diflcieut things.
1. This is not simply a liver pill
but an entire treatment. It
is a complete substitute for a physi
cian in liver tioubles.
2. It costs only 25c, v. lieu the
tana medicines if purchased separately
would cost 50 to 75c.
Si. The remedy works gently and
not violently. It does not arouse a
feeling of weakness but makes you
feel steadily better from the first day.
4. His absolutely harmless. Sick or
well, it rau not be a bad thing to
take, as it purifies the blood aud
tones up the whole system.
Why not try it for those occasional
headaches ? 1 1 will stop them.

It is an interesting sight to see the

her justice, are original and not pale

Her hair, especially, engages her at

tinctive style of her own. Tho hair is
parted at each side, cut short and very
much curled and crimped, and sur
mounted by a largo hat and ostrich
feathers coming well over the eyes, in

The insurrection in Sicily, which has
ni used so much alarm in Italy, is not
something lhat is new to the island
Belgium has licen culled the eock pit
of northern Europe, but Sicily lias
iiecn the most remarkable of ull inter
national arenas. Ancient geographers
tailed it Trinacria, inclining "Triangle
littiid," which was a very appropriate
name.
One of its main capos stretches out
ion, irii i. recce, another toward north
ern Africa, nml the third toward tho
mainland of Italy, thus, as it were, in
viting invaders from as many different
points of the compass.
Three thousand years ago, and long
before the foundation of Home, Sicily
was the scene of fierce struggles be
tween the aborigines and people whoso
home was somewhere on the other side
of the Straits of .Messina.
Seven centuries before tho Christian
era, great cities were built in Sicily;
but a scries of civil wars covered the
island with ruin, and seaport after sea
port fell into the hands of tho Carth
aginians. Eventually the island be
came a Human province, hut in the
year A. I). Ull, it whs conquered by the
luiuiuis; inpy, in turn, being expelled
by the Ostrogoths.
Saracens and Normans. Km.,,;,,,.!.
and French have fought for the do
minion of the island, and in the era of
the first French empire Sicily proved a
luuii oppio oi discord. England
claimed the island: 1 ril )lif 1 li w i u i wl
that it was a part of the kingdom of
iMipies, ami the war that ensued only
ended with Waterloo.
The present agrarian insurrection
may spread across the straits of Me
simi. or even to the gates of Home, and
possibly fulfill the prediction of an
Italian deputy, who recently warned
hisooiintrvmcn that the revolt was but
the beginning of the end for tho dy
nasty of Victor Emmanuel.
How Ihej Rid Thenuelvea of Annovlng

Some of the most dangerous tricks
of animals are those simulating kind
ness. Charles Montaguo, In "Talcs of
a Nomad," says that hyenas often fol

times, however, the hyenas aro too
eager, and steal bits of meat while the
lions are still at their meal.
I have been told that the lion rids
himself of tho nuisance In tho follow
ing way: Ho throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the

rushes off with the meat. Presently
the Hon throws another piece of meat,

takes that also. At last the lion throws
a piece very near Indeed. The hyena,
having become reckless, mult no a rind.
at this also; but the lion wheels round
and lays him low with a pat of his paw
nd a growl of annoyance.
I remember at the Usutu on one oc
casion hearing at night the cries of a
hyena in naln. mlnrrlnrl with an nn.
caslonal shortgrowl from a Hon. This
wont on for about twenty minutes.
