HORN MAGNIFIES THE FOUND.
musical Instruments are perfectly
satisfactory. Nevertheless, anything
now In this lino should prove Inter
esting, as, for instanco, tho one
shown in tho illustration, the Inven
tion of an Idaho man. This Instru
ment Is a combination of a mando
lin and a horn, tho latter serving a
a sort of megaphone, Increasing the
volume of sound. In the majority
ofstrlngcd Instruments of this class
the sound emitted Is so fine and de
licate that it can be heard but a
short distance from tho performer.
Not so with this Instrument. Tho
sound is magnified by the horn and
transmitted with increased power.
Tho Olivo OH Cure.
Many women exhaust their system
by not tuklng dally care of their
health. Those who are troubled to
know how to proceed should take a
tablespoonful of olive oil dally. It
lu good for the akin, the digestion and
the liver, making them do their wor
well.
Fill a wineglass partly with water,
then put in tho oil and more water,
gulp It down, and you will not tasto
it. Get tho best olive oil that is to
bo got.
This is a treatment that may not
suit everybody it does BUit most
people; but ask your doctor, because
he may know of some bodily peculi
arity that might make it disagree.
There Is no treatment that will suit
everybody, but in nine cases out of
ten those who follow this advice will
testify to its wisdom, and will te
quite astonished at the result.
It makes you vigorous, brisk and
.not overburdened.

scious. On his arrival he saw at
once that the old lady was dead, and,
taking hold of her right hand whlcn
was closed, but not rigid, he calmly
extracted from It the fee which sne
provided for him, and as he did so
he murmured, "Sensible to the last!"
