A member of the staff of Figaro, a spraightly Paris newspaper, was sent to the United States to make “psycho logical and analytical" studies of America and Americans. Tne Gallic journalist has published his observa tions on our economic, social and po litical institutions. A day or two ago he gave the readers of Figaro hi3 views about our great national sport, “Le foot ball.” He saw the game between Harvard and Yale and describes it with a realism and a minuteness of detail which are said to be very im pressive. The Gallic observer appears to have been startled by the ferocious cries of “Kill him! Kill him!” from excited partisans of the rival teams. He explains that those who incite to murder are not really assassins at heart. “It may well be asked,” he adds, “whether a pastime which elicits such brutal frenzy can be good for civiliza tion.” It would be Interesting to have a record of the Figar man’s impressions of what in sporting parlance is de scribed as a “hot base ball game.” “Le foot ball,” it is conceded, is not child's play. But if the Paris journalist were to hear some of the blood-curdling de mands for vengeance upon the umpire of a base ball contest, if he were to see that unfortunate person attacked by a mob of bloodthirsty “rooters,” he would possible conclude that “Le foot ball” is not such a savage pastime after all.—Baltimore Sun. Just in Time. Broadland, So. Dak., Feb. 23d.—Bea dle county has never been so worked up as during the last few weeks. Every one is talking of the wonderful case of G. W. Gray of Broadland, the particulars of which are best told In the following statement which Mr. Gray has Just published: “I was dying. I had given up all hope. I was prostrate and as helpless as a little babe. I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble for many years, and it finally turned to Bright’s Dis ease. All medicine had failed and I was In despair. “I ordered one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and this first box helped me out of bed. I continued the treatment till now I am a strong, well man. I praise God for the day when I decided to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Everybody expected that Mr. Gray would die and his remarkable recovery is regarded as little short of a miracle by all who know how very low he was. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful remedy. If the wife is the better half and the husband Is the better half, then where on earth does the mother-in law come in?

SOME MONSTER RUNS i _ FEARFULLY DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS OF WARFARE _ New Type Recently Supplied to Ships of the British Navy—United States Has the Largest and Heaviest Yet Constructed. During the last two years the Brit ish navy has been strengthened by the addition of a new type of gun which will undoubtedly go a long way toward Insuring the supremacy of Great Britain over the seas for many years to come, says the London Tit bits. This gun is known as tho twelve-inch steel and wire gun and is not only the beat weapon which the royal navy has ever had, but is far superior to any gun possessed by any foreign power. Although it weighs only fifty tons, the new gun will be the heaviest in the service, seeing that it is taking the place of the 110, 100 and eighty-ton guns, of which no more are to be made. What the new weapon lacks in weight, however, it makes up In power, being capable of throwing shells a distance of no less than twenty miles. No accuracy of aim could, of course, be obtained or main tained at this long distance, the effect ive range being 16,000 yards, or be tween nine and ten miles. Altogether the gun is forty-one foot in length and has the amazing muzzle velocity of 2,367 feet per second, th* projectile weighing 860 pounds. Each man of-war will carry four of these formidable weapons and when the navy is supplied they will be issued to the forts on the sea fronts. A remark aide feature regarding this gun is that the breech mechanism is of a very simple design, easily taken to pieces and put together again and can be worked by one man. What is undoubtedly the biggest and heaviest gun in the world has lately been built by Uncle Sam at the United States arsenal, Watervliet, N. Y. Its range is claimed to he one mile more than the twelve-inch steel and wire gun with which tho British navy is being supplied, but it is nearly three times the weight. Altogether the new American gun weights 134 tons. Is nearly fifty icet long and fires a projectile weighing no less than 2,370 pounds. Machinery to the value of $600,000 had to be specially built in order to make this gigantic weapon, the actual making of which has taken about four years. In spite of its enormous bulk and weight, however, the gun is as easily handled as the lightest field piece. The breech lock weighs one ton, but it is so contrived that a child could operate the machinery which opens it and swings it clear. In fact, every part of the gun is built as ac curately as the works of a watch. In addition to the fact that this gun is said to possess the longest range of any weapon in the world it is claimed that a shot fired from it into the air would reach an elevation of nearly six miles. The greatest height reach ed by a Krupp shell in its flight was a little over four miles. The muzzle velocity of the American gun is 2,300 feet per second and the projectile, backed by 676 pounds ot smokeless powder, will penetrate nearly forty three inches of steel at the muzzle. As a matter of fact, nothing in the line of defensive armor has yet been invented that would stop one of the gun's projectiles at a distance of five miles. Knitting Cure for Tired Nerves. “My prescription, madam, is that you knit two hours daily,” said tho physician. “Knit!” exclaimed the nervous pa tient; “why on earth, doctor, should I knit?” The medical man replied: “Because nothing is more soothing to the nerves; because nothing conduces to such a calm and cheerful frame of mind. I could prescribe valerian for you, but knitting will be better. It will do you much more good. 1 be lieve that a month of it will cure you.” He went on to explain that his at tention had been called to an article in a medical journal on the beneficial efTects of knitting, and he had pre scribed the treatment, with excellent success, to a dozen women. “The shining needles,” he said, “playing swiftly among soft colpred silks or wools, engage the eyes pleas antly and fill the mind with cheery and sane thoughts. At the same time they may produce admirable things— golf waistcoats, golf stockings of wool, delicate evening stockings of silk, shawls, a hundred articles.” The woman, smiling, said she did not know how to knit, but would be gin to learn at once.—Detroit Journal. Faith in One’s Self. When the artist slt3 down before a new, clean sheet of drawing paper and takes up his charcoal, he believes In the brain or soul picture which he is going to try to draw there. He does not sit down and say to himself: "Oh, pshaw! What is the use? I can nev er make anything out of it. There is no use in trying!” On the contrary, he has faith in his subject, faith in his dream, and he means to produce the very best that he can. something which shall surpass all that has gone before in his work. That is the main point, either in art or in real life—to have faith in one's dream and belief in one’s self—to work earnestly, be lieving that with patient enough effort the work will be good and the toil and struggle worth while.—Ledger Monthly.
