Tits of tliene Birds Eagngd In • Bit­ter StriiRj*le In a Kleld.

A fierce combat between n large gray hawk and a smaller red one occurred a few days ago on the farm of George Williams, in 3ristol township, reports the Philadelphia Record. Mr. Williams was standing in his corn field, when he heard a series of fierce squawk in the air above him. Two 'hawks circling about each other and dropping rapidly to the earth next attracted his atten­tion. The birds fell almost at bis feet and continued to fight with great fe-rooity. It was evident from the very start that the battle was an unequal one, the gray one being much too heavy for his opponent. The farmer, seizing a stick, sailed in to take a hand in the fight. He made several vigorous swipes at the rapidly revolving bundle of claws and fe&thera, but- somehow or other he always failed to land. Then he foxily decided to startd off and wait until one •bird had been killed, whereupon he would jump in and dispatch the victor. The ved hawk was growing weaker every moment, nnd finally fell over on his back, and the gray victor drove his -beak deep inte the breast of the van­quished. WitK a squawk of triumph the gray fellow suddenly raised himself upon his broad wings and sailed away before Williams realized what he was about. The red hawk lay dead upon the field literally clawed to ribbons.

Queer Memorial to a Woman. A remarkable memorial is the bell

tower to contain a chime of 11 bells which is being built on the grounds of this Iowa agricultural college at Ames. It is in memory of Margaret McDonald Stanton, wife of the professor of polit­ical economy in the college. The tower is being built by the state in>apprecia­tion of Mrs. Stanton's services as an educator and as a founder of the col­lege. The bells are to be the gift of Prof. Stanton. Woman's title to of-ficial appreciation seems to be frankly rccogurized in Iowa.

Another Aerial Failure. A Pteerable aluminum balloon,

driven by' a benzine motor, was tried reeentl'y in Berlin. It rose to a height of 1,1500 feet, but would not work against the wind, and soon came down with a crash. It was 13 meters l:??h by 45 me­ters long-. «r.d wedg-hed 7,500 pounds. It is snid to have cost 200,000 marlts, while the experiments preliminary to its con­struction cost 3,000,000 marks.

DR. MH£s* RESTORAHVB NEKVUIB RBSTOKES BHALTH, not by any miraculous instantaneon* proooaa, but In accordance with science, which is the practical, common-sense way of first re-moving the germs of disease, and then supplying nutritions, healthy nerve food, that gradually starts Into new, vigorous growth, strong healthy nerve tissue, increases the appetite, helps digestion in too* ing the stomach and entire system; and strengthens the brain and will power to control the nerves, that induce deep and test with­out stupefying or paralyzing tho senses.

The case of lbs. M. B. Reed, the estimable wife of the leading merchant in Delta, Iowa, interestingly shows that desperate cases require prolonged treatment. Mrs. Heed writes

" I had been troubled with nervousness and occasional spells of prostra­tion. In July 1801,1 was stunned by a stroke of lightning striking the house,' and became much worse. My limbs would all draw up, and my left arm and hand was in a cramped condition, and the chords in my .neck woiild lie out prominently.' "One physician pronounced it a light stroke of paralysis. I would., have throbbings in my chest that seemed unendurable. For three months I oould not sleep, and for three weeks I did not close my eyes in deep. I thought I couj&not stand it. I Just prayed tor eep, and felt that if relief did not Come I would soon be dead or insane. ' My physicians (two from "What Cheer, one from Springfield, and one from Sigourney), all agreed there was no help for me; that I was incurable. January 1892: Catching at a last straw as I thought, I tried Dr. Miles? Servine, and it helped ine from the very flrst bottle. The second night I slept two hours, and from that time on my sleep kept increasing and my health Improved; slowly at first, but steadily and surely. I have taken in all forty bottles, but that first bottle was worth 1500.00 to me. No words can express my sufferings, and I can't explain in words how grateful I fed towards Dr. Miles for wonderful Restorative Nervine. I am now perfectly well and have not taken the wiftfltntnA for over four months." : ilss. ADDH BEED.

Dr. Miles'Nervine ig gold by all druggists on tbe positive guarantee that the first bottle will benefit, or mtaey will be refunded.
