A CwUm aed HI Life.
Several weeks ago an access devel
oped in the stomach of William
Thorpe, a resident of Qiiantlr.o, Md.
The growth so weakened him that
pbyslc'.ana feared to use the knife and
patient was slowly dyin. A few days
ago he caw a Philadelphia paper in
which there was a cartoon making fuo
of Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania,
Thorpe laughed and immediately a
stream of blood gushed from his
mouth. The doctor happened to call
just then, and after examining Thorpe,
declared that the abcess had broken
and that the patient would sow get
well.
A DOCTOR THIS TIME.
Portland, May 6th. Dr. E. A. Rose.
a practising physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed. He had Diabetes, and six of
his brother doctors were in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to teli him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she Insisted that
as a last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.'
From the very first dose, the' tide
turned In his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to
day. .
This casa and Its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. It is Interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
whila the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
llladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, Buch as
Bright'a Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding Just as easily,
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has Its origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

DOUGLAS FACTORY
To Be enlarged Before tbe Hrst of July.
Will Make 6.000 Tiirs Daily.
Advertising pay.
W. L. Douglas Is going to increase
the capacity of his factory to 6,000
paira of shoes per day. Ths addition
will add 16,000 square feet of epace for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time a new 400 horse-power engine and
an additional 150 horso-power boiler
will be Installed, which will afford ado
quate power for the present and an
'other addition to the factory, which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the first
of July It will bo on an output of 000
dozen or 6,000 pairs of shoes per day,
and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of
office help, superintendent, foremen,
etc., will bo 22,000 per week. The
Douglas salesmen on the road are sell
ing 25 per cent more goods than last
season. The Ineroased sales Is the di
rect result of good nhoemaklng and ex
tenslvo advertising. The advertising
expenditure of Mr, Douglas is now
larger than at any period of hU busi
ness, and this Is to be still further In
treased. Beginning this week half
page advertisements of the Douglas
shoe will appear In all tbe principal
newspapers of the large cities, as well
as such papers ss the Youth's Compan

Peculiarities are certain traits which
your neighbor has which are different
from your own traits.
WHERE LIFE IS PRIMITIVE.
Bride aad tirooin Had Mover eeea
Ntin far.
There are plenty of places where life
is very primitive. The Watihlngtop
Star tells this story: "I witnessed a
marriage the other day in which the
bride and groom both live within fifty
miles of Washington, yet neither has
ever seen a steam or electric car,"
said a drummer to a Star reporter.
"You will no doubt be surprised when
I tell you there are hundredds of people
living over in Virginia who have
'never been to town.' But to the mar
riage. During a recent trip one of
the friends of the groom met me in
a country store and cordially extended
an invitation to take a drive across
country to witness the 'hltchin'.' I
very gladly availed myself of the op
portunity, and we arrived at our des
tination In good time. The nelghbor
hgod was well represented, the male
contingent being congregated in tbe
barn, where a barrel of hard elder
waa on tap. We were soon notified
that the ceremony was about to take
place, and we all filed into the 'best'
room. I shall never forget the ap
pearance of the contracting parties.
The groom was an undersized though
powerfully built young fellow. He was
dressed in a pair of Jean overalls, a
stiff shirt, no collar, a fancy, old-tlmo
vest, but no coat. The bride, who was
at least six feet In height, was dressed
In a calico wrapper, a piece of pink
ribbon around her neck, a little old
fashioned bonnet on her head, but
barefooted. After the ceremony the
happy couple received the congratu
lations of the assembled company, ev
ery man and woman present kissing
tho lirSde. Pretty soon one of the
guests brought out a violin and danc
ing was indulged in the rest of the
evening. When I expressed my sur
prise that the bride should be bare
footed I was told that there were lota
of women in that section that had nev
er known what It was to wear shoes."
FRESH-WATER SAILORS.
Their Live on the Cireat lakes Are
' Fall of Danger.
"If any man thinks the American
sailor is a thing of the past he should
spend a while on the great lakes,"
said C. F. Bailey of Duluth, Minn.
"The American fresh-water sailor ie
every bit as picturesque a personage
as was the 'salt' of early days, who
carried our merchant flag into every
port of the world. His life Is Just as
full of hardship and Just as full of
dangers," quotes the Washington Post.
"There is a large fleet of three and
four masted schooners on the lakes,
and stories of the wrecking of them
come with every big storm. A nastier
body of water than Lake Krle when It
comes on to blow can be found no
where and some of the experiences of
the life-saving crews along Its shores
are the most thrilling In the history
of the service. The men who take tho
big steamers, of course, have not much
of romance In their lives, but there are
enough of the old sailing vessels left
to keep a considerable army of men
employed. Any skipper who can nav
igate a schooner from Duluth to Buf
falo la a good enough sailor to sail
around the world and he will do as
well as the next man to take care of
his vessel In the roughest 6oa the At
lantic ever was able to blow up."
KffeCt of Altitude on the Wood.
The effect of altitude on the blood
has been studied In New Mexico with
Interesting and perhaps valuable re
sults. Dr. Maltby undertook the work
at the suggestion of the director of
the biological laboratory of the Uni
versity of New Mexico, and the study,
Interrupted for a time by the death
of Dr. Maltby, has been continued by
Prof. Weinzel. It was found, a cor
respondent of the Denver Republican
reports, that the blood corpuscles are
greatly increased when a person from
a low altitude reaches a higher one, but
this effect, with the powerful stimulus
Involved, is only transitory. Observa
tions showed that while persons who
have long resided in New Mexico have
no more corpuscles than others In
lower regions, these same persons may
renew or repeat the original effect of
altitude by a sort residence at the sea
level or elsewhere. What amounts to
tho same thing Is the fact that one
by residing at 4,000 or 5,000 feet may
secure all tho powerful stimulating ef
fect of the altitude on the blood by
periodical visits to the altitude of San
ta Fe or Magdalena, 2,000 feet higher.
In these cases the effect Is greatly In
creased by out-of-door life and exer
cise, because there Is an intimate re
lation between the activity of tho lung.i
and this blood stimulation. It was also
found that rabbits kept In confinement
would show the game Increase on be
ing carried from Albuquerque to Camp
Whltcomb. It Is thought that tho re
sult of the Inquiry may have an im
portant bearing on tho treatment of
consumption. New York Poet.

The number of species of fishes liv

For Health and Deeeney.
Disregard for the law against ex
pectorating in public conveyances has
at last moved the New York health
department to action. Tuesday morn
nig seventy officers of the department
in citizen's attire were detailed to
travel all day In the cars of the various
companies throughout the city and on
all the ferry boats. They had orders
to arrest any person found violating
the ordinace. Before noon several men
were compelled to accompany the offi
cers to a magistrate's court, where
they were fined and warned against a
repetition of the offense.
Guns Heard Eighty-Four Mllrs.
An interesting matter, from a scien
tific point of view, in connection witn
the death of the queen is the distance
at which the sound of firing was heard
when the fleet saluted as the body was
conveyed from Cowes to Portsmouth.
Letters in the English Journals of
scleiice show that the sounds of the
guns were heard in several places at
a distance of sixty miles, and that at
a distance of sixty miles the concus
sions were sufficiently intense to shake
windows.

gree by Aberdeen university.
llori-il The Holes Willi A KLfle.
A novel method of boring holes in
a flat bar of iron was recently adopted
on a flat ship where a breakdown oc
curred. To repair the breakage It was
necessary to make bolt holes in the
square bar, and as the engineer was
without the appliances required for
tho purpose he marked the exact places
In chalk and then fired a 30-caliber
bullet through from a rifle.

Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman

icine Co., says the following of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
"I Join with my colleagues in the
House of Representatives in recom
mending your excellent remedy, Pe
runa, as a good tonic and also an ef
fective cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex., the following: "I
think I can say that your good advica
and medicine has cured me of chronlo
catarrh. I have had no pains in my
head since I have taken Peruna. I
have been in bad health ever sine
'59, and have taken a good many med
icines which were only of temporary7
relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. The
Peruna stopped my catarrh of tbe head
so that It did not become chronic, and
I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman'a
advice and medicine."
Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal
diseases. It acts quickly and bene
ficially upon the inflamed mucous
membrane, thus removing the cause ot
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every

all situations.
