Two RIVERS, Wis.. Aug. 25. -[Special.]—
Orent excitement and interest has been man
ifested in the recovery of an old-time resi
dent of this town, Mr. Jos. Bunker, who has
for several years been considered by all his
friends a hopeless consumptive. Investiga
tion show* that for over thirty-two years he
used three and a half pounds of tobacco a
week. A short timo ago ho was induced to
try a tobacco-habit cure called "No-To-Bno."
Talking about his miraculous recovery to
day h> said : "Yes, I used No-To-Bac, and
two box"8 completely cured me. I thought,
and so did all my friends, that I had con
sumption. Now they say, as you say, 'how
healthy and strong you look, Joe,' and when
ever they ask mo what cured my consump
tion I tell them No-To-Bac. The last week
I used tobacco I lost four pounds. The
morning I began the use of No-To-Bac I
weighed 127 Y pounds; to-day I weigh 169. a
gain of 421a pounds. I eat heartily and
bleep well. Before [ used No-To-Bae I was
so nervous that when I went to drink I had
to hold I lie glass in both hands. To-day my
nerves are perfectly steady. Whore did I get
No-To-Bic? At t lie drug store. It is made
by the Sterling Remedy Company, general
western office, 45 Randolph street, Chicago,
New York office, 10 Spruce street, but
I see by the printed matter that it is sold
by ail druggists—l know all the druggists in
this town keep it. I have recommended it
to over one hundred people and do not know
of a single failure to cure."
IF the deed is good let it speak for
the motive.

QUEER WAYS OF BIRDS.
LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE
FEATHERED CREATURES.
Sonic Who Have the Dancing Habit—
Argus Pheusants and Their Salta
torlal Grounds.
PANCING is a habit often in
dulged in by birds, and the
erection of arbors and play
ing grounds forms a feature
in the life of many species, particu
larly in Australia and New Guinea,
where the bower builders live. In
South America .the cocks-of-the-rock,
brilliant chatterers of orange or blood
red plumage, are stated to have danc
ing grounds, as do doubtless other
birds, if we only knew their life his
tories.
The Argus pheasants are wonderful
game birds with euormous wings
studded with "eyes," from which
peculiarity the bird gets it 3 name of
Argus, the "hundred-eyed" pheasant.
This fowl is the inhabitant of tho
thickest forests, and, notwithstanding
his great size and frequent call in the
jungle, is extremely difficult to see.
The most experienced travelers, who
made it their business to discover tho
habits of this species, have scarcely
ever seen one alivo. but they are often
trapped by the Malays, their dancing
grounds being a sure place of capture.
Mr. Davisou, who spent some years
in the jungles of British Burmah, tells
us that the Argus pheasants are ac
customed to live quite solitary, both
males and females, but tho malo has
his own drawing room, of which ho is
excessively proud, and which he keeps
scrupulously clean. A patch of ground
is cleared in tho depths of the ever
green forests, where tho birds lives,
for a space of six or eight yards
square! Nothing is allowed to re
main on it, and nothing but tho baro
earth is seen. Every leaf or twig that
falls from the surrounding trees is re
moved with care. Sometimes tho top
of a hill in a comparatively open
jungle is cleared, and at other times
the dancing ground is chosen in some
open, level spot—it may be in a dark,
gloomy ravine, entirely surrounded
and shut in by dense brakes and rank
vegetation.
Cranes are great dancers nnd seem
to delight in tho amusement both in a
wild state and in captivity. Any one
who does not mind being taken for a
sort of idiot has only to stand in front
of tho crane paddocks in any ot tho
zoological gardens nnd wave his um
brella and dance a little, and he will
be rewarded by seeing tho birds cut
unwieldy capers, or go through vari
ous evolutions of a saltatory nature.
They even do this in a state of na
ture. Speaking of tho little brown
crane, which flies north of Alaska, Mr.
Lucian Turner says that during tho
mating season they execute the moat
surprising antics. They assemble on
some level place, and, amid a chorus
of deafening croaks, perform a series
of motions very similar to a quadrille
as danced in the rural districts. Mr.
E. W. Nelson has also given an amus
ing account of a dance executed by
two of these same birds in Alaska.
The flrst comer remained alone for a
short time, when a second bird camo
along, uttering bis loud note at short
intervals, until he espied tho bird on
tho ground, when ho made a slight
circuit and dropped close by. Both
birds then joined in a series of loud
rolling cries in quick succession.
Suddouly the newcomer, which ap
peared to be a male, wheeled his back
toward tho fomale and made a low
bow, his head nearly touching tho
ground, and ending by a quick leap
into tho air ; another piroutte brought
hint facing his charmer, whom he
greeted with a still deeper bow, his
wings meanwhile hanging loosely by
his side. She replied by an answer
ing bow and hop, and then each tried
to outdo the other in a series of spas
modic hops and starts, mixed with a
set of comically gravo and ceremonious
bows. The pair stood for some mo
ments bowing right and left, when
their legs appeared to become envious
of tho large share taken in the per
formance by the neck, and then en
sued a series of stilted hops and skips,
which wore more like the steps of a
burlesque minuet thuti auything else
he could think of. Other cranes fre
quently join iu theso pas do deux,
and the dance is kept up until all are
exhausted.
But perhaps the most curious dance
on record of a bird is that of tho tolodo,
a little manakin which lives iu Central
America, and is known to soicnco as
Chiroxiphia linearis. Mr. Nuttin?
an American traveler in Nicaragua
has described its habits as follows:
"The natives call this bird 'balla
dor,' or 'dancer.' It was not until I
had been in the region for some timo
that I understood why it was called
by that name. One day, when hunt
ing through the dense forest, the pro
found silouce was suddenly broken by
the regularly repeated note of 'el bal
lador,' and, softly making my way
toward the spot whence the sound pro
ceeded, I witnessed ono of tho most
remarkable performances it has ever
been my lot to see. Upon a bare twig
which overhung the trail at a distance
of about four feet from tho ground,
two male 'ballador' were engaged in
ft song and dunce act that simply as
tounded me. The two birds wero
about a foot and a half apart, and were
alternately jumping about two feet iu
the air, and alighting exactly upon
the spot whenco they jumped. Tho
time was as regular as clock-work, ono
bird accompanying himself to tho tune
of 'To-le-do— to-le-do -- to-lc-do,'
sounding tho syllable 'to' as he
crouched to spring, 'le' while in the
air, and 'do' as he alighted. This
performance was kept up without in
termissiou for more than a minute,
when the birds suddenly discovered
that they had an audience, and made
oft."
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BOW TO BROIL FISH.
Though every cook will proclaim
that to broil a piece of fish is an ex
cecdingly easy matter, it is more
• often done badly than well. If not
cooked enough the lisli is extremely
disagreeable to the taste, and if cooked
j too much it is hard and dry. It is al
ways best to have an exact rule as to
i the time it shall bo Cooked. When tho
lish is put on the tire look at tho
clock and take it oft as soon as it is
| done.
A split lish, ..such as white shad,
white fish, mackerel, scroti or blue
fish, should be timed according to the
! thickness. If the lire bo bright and
! hot, a fish an inch thick can be cooked
1 in twelve minutes. If two inches thick
; it will take twenty minutes. Of course,
when the tire is dull it will take longer.
( Always season fish with salt and
| pepper lie fore cooking. A lish with
i the skin on should be broiled with the
I skin side from the tiro until tho last
| live minutes of cooking, when that
side can be turned to the fire, but it
must be watched closely or it will
: burn. It is only dry halibut that re
qtrres tho butter and flour before
! broiling. Many people prefer to dip
the slice of lish in olive oil rather
than butler. If the oil bo used it
! must not be heated, and it is well to
apply it to the lish an hour before
cooking.—New York World.
TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.
As the fruit season waxes it becomes
burdenso ne to keep delicate drapery
spotless. Who has not beheld with
dismay one's favorite damask hope
lessly—it would seeni—discolored with
peach, cherry and berry stains? Some
suggestions culled from that best of
teachers--Experience—and that are
' not generally known may bo of assist
. unco in remedying the mishap.
Jn the lirst place, do not wasli the
i linen before applying other remedies;
to do so sets the stain almost indelibly,
and it then has to pass through all
; stage 3 until timo and laundry leave
; but a pale yellow reminder, which cou
-1 summation does not follow usually un
til the fabric is threadbare. For berry
( stains have some one hold the cloth so
: that it sugsa little and pour absolutely
; boiling water through the spot; rub
well. If this fails, light a bit of sul
phur and hold under the wet spot—a
i lighted match will answer; the sul
phurous gas usually tloes tho work,
| the stain gradually disappearing.
; But there are some that, like Lady
i Maebcth's "damned spot," will not
' "out"—peach stains, for example.
Then you must have recourse to salts
! of lemon, which is good, but apt to
| leave a hole in lieu of the stain. By
J extreme carefulness in its use, how
i ever, it will not do such dire damage,
j Take a sunny day for the task; lirst
; moisten the spot and then rub on a
very little of the salts of lemon ; lay
! the linen in the sun for two or three
| minutes and then wash thoroughly
! with soaj and warm water. Success
! nearly always follows.
other stains, like iron rust, aro more
easily removed. After washing tho
I article, squeeze lemon juice on tho
! spots and then cover thickly with salt.
Lay in the sun all day, wash, and if
| the rust is not entirely removed re
peat t lie application. This is equally
| good for ink stain?.
I An excellent washing fluid, that
! closely resembles the celebrated Javclle
! water, is made as follows:
Have ready two gallons of boiling
water; stir in thoroughly a pound of
sal-soda and a quarter of a pound of
unslaked lime. When it is settled and
perfectly cold, skiui well and let it
l boil again. Take from the tire anil
J when settled pour off the clear fluid
j into bottles or stone jars that can be
; tightly corked. Use in the proportion
of a cupful to a large bucketful of
water.—Detroit Free Press.
RECIPES.
Black Strap Pudding—One cupful
! molasses, one-balf cupful butter, ono
| cupful sweet milk, four cupfuls flour,
, one cupful chopped raißius, one-half
