On a Dublin Woolsack.
Justice Martin J. Keogh, of the su

Four Courts, Dublin, the other day,
and for some time occupied a seat on
the bench in nisi prius court No. 1
with Justice Barton.
XVhy They Called Him Mary.
Two young Philadelphians, who
were introduced to each other by a
friend of both the other day, scrutin
'zed each other closely, and then one
of them said: ‘‘I think I used to know
you. Didn’t we sail together on the
schoolship Saratoga about twelve
years ago?” “Yes, I remember you
very well now,” replied the other.
‘‘You weren’t as tough as the rest of
us. We thought you were a dude.
We called you Mary, didn't we?” ‘‘Yes;
I remember the nickname perfectly.”
"Why did they call you Mary?” ask
ed the mutual friend. "To the best of
my recollection,” said the young man
who had been so named, "it was be
cause I used a tooth brush!” The
two former shipmates laughed heartily
as they recalled the old, careless days.
Han Lived In Three Centuries.
Another of the three-century cen
tenarians, who is quite ready for her
obituary, is Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt, of
Brooklyn, who, by the record in the
family Bible, was born 101 years ago
Saturday, and though her sight and
memory are failing, she is out every
day and her delight is taking trolley
trips.
The secret of ignorance is not to

Mrs. Madison's Case.
Polk City, la.. Oct. 14th— For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth P. Madison,
a respected lady of this place has suf
fered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange
ments of the bowels and liver. Rheu
matism another painful result of de
ranged Kidneys added its tortures to
her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills was re
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box an
improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in a
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created a de
cided sensation In the neighborhood
because of the complications of the
case as well as its severity and appar
ent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd’s Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright’s Disease,
Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto
incurable diseases are readily con
quered by this remarkable remedy.

ENORMOUS CROPS
North Dakota lias Just harvested a won
derful crop of wheat and flax. Reports
from the various railway points along the
“Soo" Line show yields of 25 to 38 bushels
to the acre of wheat, and from 15 to 20
bushels of flax per acre. Flax is now
bringing $1.25 per bushel. Most of the
crop was raised on newly broken land, so
that the first crop pays for the farm and
all the labor, and leaves a handsome profit.
There is still plenty of good free govern
ment land open for entry; also good open
ings to go into business in the new towns
along the "Soo” Line. For descriptive cir
culars, maps and particulars, wrjte to D.

LIVED LONG ON THE EARTH.
Evidence that Men Existed Before Date
Fixed by Accepted Authority.
Fortunately there Is no chance for a
religious controversy over recent dis
coveries that seem to upset the accept
ed chronology of the Bible. That
chronology is admittedly of human
origin and therefore liable to be falli
ble. Professor Flinders Petrie, in a
lecture recently delivered in London,
presented some rather startling theo
ries as to the antiquity of the human
race that will doubtless give rise to
more or less dispute. The professor's
proofs as to his theories are said to
be incontrovertible. He contends that
there is an unbroken chain of his
toric record going back to 5,000 B. C.,
besides objects of art and industry that
carry history back 2.000 years further,
thus making the indubitable record
of human history cover 9,000 years.
Yet dates 7,000 B. C. do not tak^ us
back to the beginning. There are
traces, he says, of a civilization that
came to Egypt from some other coun
try. The earliest graves have figures
of a race of bushmen of a typo like
that discovered in France and Malta,
suggesting that one race formerly ex
tended from northern Africa into Eu
rope. Beyond these bushmen there are
figures of women captured from still
earlier races—probably of the palaeo
lithic age. Of this latter age there
are many evidences in the elevated
plateau east of the Nile, where, in a
region at present wholly uninhabita
ble, are found the remains of many
settlements. The existence of a popu
lation here indicates that there was a
time when the climate of Egypt was
totally different from what it is to
day—when a rainfall fertilized lands
now deserts. Such a climate could
hardly have existed unless the desert
of Sahara was then under water. A
rise of the Saharan area, coinciding
with a sinking of the present bed of
the Mediterranean, would explain the
indisputable fact that the fauna, flora
and racial affinities of northern Africa
are with Europe rather than with the
parts of Africa south of the Sahara.
Egypt supplies us, according to Pro
fessor Petrie, with physical evidences
of the antiquity of man in the shape
of 9,000 years’ continuous remains, but
other countries, notably Mesopotamia,
furnish similar indications. The
“finds’’ made by recent explorers in
the sites of the old cities in the valley
of the Euphrates seem to prove the
existence of an empire extending from
the Persian gulf to the Mediteranean
at a period when Egypt itself was in
its infancy.—Chicago Chronicle.
LOUBET’S ECONOMY,
Substantial Food the Kind the French
President Likes.
Besides his salary of $150,000 a year,
the president of France has a civil
list of $126,000 a year and an allow
ance of $60,000 a year for traveling ex
penses. This allowance for traveling
expenses was voted to Marshal Mac
Mahon to keep him from “running
wild’’ with the Bonapartists, but he
never touched a franc of it. It was
allowed to accumulate until M. Grevy
became president, when that worthy
drew the arrears and pocketed them.
The allowance for traveling expenses
is largely clear profit, for the presi
dent travels free, and all he disburses
when on a journey is given in the way
of tips. He is exceedingly generous
in regard to tips-as well he may.
In spite of his large income Presi
dent Loubet exercises a rigid economy
at the Elysee. At ordinary luncheons
there is a handsome “set out” but the
fare is more substantial than luxur
ious. The food left over from the
dinner of the night before is arranged
with all the skill of a “chef” to figure
on the luncheon table, the cold veg
etables being served up as “salade
russe.” The dinners vary in luxury,
according to what guests are to be
present. When only ordinary people
have been invited to partake of the
presidential hospitality the cost is
about $4 a plate. When a lot of really
“first chop” people are to be present
the cost is $6 a plate, and when a vis
iting royalty is coming to dinner the
cost goes up as high as $8 a plate. The
dinners are supplied partly by a pastry
cook shop and partly by the kitchen
force of the palace. After dinner the
wife of one of the officers of the pres
idential household slips out and holds
a consultation with the chef, at which
it is decided what is to go from the
dining room to the servants’ table and
what is to be fixed up for tomorrow’s
luncheon. Dishes supplied from the
pastry cook shop and not broken are
taken back at a reduced price. Yet
with all his economy it is said that
President Loubet does not save a cent
out of his pay and allowances. When
ever he needs an extra allowance for
some special “function” it is cheerfully
granted him by the chamber of depu
ties. The president gives two balls
each year, which cost him $15,000 each.
He also gives garden parties, concerts
and theatrical matinees, but they are
arranged so as to cost little or noth
ing.
Vegetable Butter.
Is the cow to be altogether elimin
ated from the dairy? The British
consul-general at Marseilles hears that
“a new fatty substance, for comsump
tion in the United Kingdom, to take
the place of butter, is being put on the
British market. It it called vegetaline,
and is nothing else than the oil ex
tracted from copra (dried cocoanut),
refined, and with all smell and taste
neutralized by a patented process. It
becomes like sweet lard, and is intend
ed to compete with margarine on the
breakfast table as a substitute for but
ter.” A Liverpool firm, we are told,
will this year help in an effort to pop
ularize the stuff.—London Telegraph.
