Nrionnons. tlio well known jeweler of West Main Street, Wytheville, Va.f nays : "Some four years ago an attack of grip settled in my back, and I have suffered off and on ever since with a dull, heavy aching across the small of inv hack, always • more severe in the morning. It was difficult for me to stoop or straighten, and if I sat down for any length of time it was hard for me to arise. I took two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and the dull, disagreeable aching left mo.” II. P>. McCarter of 201 Cherry Street, Portland, Ore gon, inspector of freight cars for the Transcontinental Com pany, says: ‘I used Doan’s Kidney Pills for backache and other symptoms of kidney trouble which bad annoyed me for moDtlis. I think a cold was responsible for the whole trouble. It seemed to settle in my kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills rooted it out. It is several months since I used them, aud up to date there has been no recurrence of tho trouble.” i Mrs. George Wallace, Jr., of Elmira. N. V., wife of George Wallace, broker, of West Water Street, ami living at 007 Baldwin Stmt, gays: “In March, 1HU7, I was cured of kidney and bladder trouble by Doan's Kidney Pills. My physician said at that time that iny life could be saved otily by an operation. Night after night I bad been kept awake for hours at a time with ter rible pain in my back, and the secretions from the kidneys were in as bail a stab; as pos sible. I suffered w ith hemor rhages frequently and wa9 in a weak state. Four boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me, and I now gladly ret’ndorse the remedy, because during the time which has since elapsed, nearly seven years, 1 have never had the slightest sign of a return of the trouble.’ DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS. Best Papa of All. Walking home from school, the oth er day, some children were discussing the perfection and usefulness of their respective fathers. "My father's the t> '3t man in the world.” said one lit tle girl; "he is a minister. He makes people go to church.” "Mine is the host.” piped another; "he's a doctor. Hi makes sick people well so they can go to church.” “Throe or four more enlarged upon the benefit the world derived from their fathers, when finally a sweet, blue-eyed little girl 6aid: "My papa's the best of aTl. He’s a poet.” A poet!" said another, in sympathetic surprise; "why, a poet isn't a profession! It’s a disease!” State or Onio, City op Toledo, f Lucas County. t ' Frank ,j.

Those interested in the fall elec tions would do well to take a look at an article in the November Every body's if they are at all uncertain what, a reform administration can ac complish. In “Reform that Reforms" Alfred Hodder tells specifically some of the changes for the public good that have been brought about in New York during the present administra tion—notably by the commissioners of health and charities. The quiet re l irms of which the public does not hear are often the most significant— the stopping of a leak, accomplished, for example, by paying fifty cents of the public money for a gallon of al cohol in place of a former $5.75; the rigid inspection of drugs and groceries to chebk adulteration. Reform may make its mistakes, but one is inclined to think that these aro mistakes in an uncommonly good direction, after con sidering Mr. Hodder’s facts. When the Game Lagged. To celebrate the twenty-first birth day of a southern gentleman, one of our half-penny papers tells us, there have been rejoicings on the line of -1 of everything.” At 21 minutes past nine 21 rockets went up to sum moa to the house 21 people of the age of 21. The guests sat down to 21 dishes, and the young gentleman's father presented him with £21. There were 21 dances, and 21 songs, and 21 kisses. The party lasted 21 times 21 minutes. But 21 papers could not he found to pjint this momentous intelli gence.—London Punch. ALL UP-TO-DATE HOITSEREEPEltB Um Red Cross Ball Blue. It makes clothes clean and sweet as wbeu new. All grocers.

Wonderful Flight of Birds. There is conclusive evidence to show that in one unbroken nocturnal flight the European bird known as the northern bluethroat passes from Cen tral Africa to the German sea, a dis tance of 1,600 miles, making the journey in nine hours. From its win ter home in Africa observations have determined that it starts after sunset, arriving at its far northern summer haunts before dawn on the next morn ing. Insist on Getting It.

Apropos of the Hugo museum, Le Gaulois recalls the story of the young man who at one of the poet's recep tions became engaged in argument, | and lost his temper. Hugo solemnly j rebuked him, and he subsided. Pres I ently the guests retired. One of them, ! however, had forgotten his umbrella, | and returned to &et it. Looking I throuhg an open door from the vesti i hide he perceived the young man on his knees before Hugo, sobbing out his apologies for his disrespect, while Victor Hugo, with almost regal dig nitv, extended his hand to him and baae nira rise.

Daniel Cooper of Suffern, N. Y., has retired from the service of the Erie railroad after fifty-three years of serv | ice as flagman, baggage master, sta j tion agent and eondpctor. In all this j time he has never had an accident and he is still a hearty old man. Russell a3 a Decliner. John E. Russell, the prominent Mas saciiusetts uemocrat, who died a few j days ago, was a fine type of the pub j lie spirited citizen whose powers are devoted to the service of his fellow men without stipulation of reward. Vvithin nine months, at the height of his political importance, Mr. Russell is known to have refused a nomina tion as governor of Massachusetts, the colleetornnip of the port of Hos I ton, the Spanish mission, the Italian mission and the post of secretary of the navy. Nor did he decline these tenders in the expectation of receiv ing one more agreeable. It was his dc.iberate determination not to talco public office. “It would chill my in fluence with the people, ’ he said.

Fame and Geography. John Kendrick Bangs told the fol lowing story on himself at a recent dinner: Just after my unsuccessful campaign for mayor of Yonkers, a friend of mine came up to pay mo a visit. He inquired my address of a policeman, and I am glad to say the policeman did not know me. My friend thought that a corner saloon keeper could surely tell him, but I am glad to say that he also did not know me. A constituent of mine, happen ing to overhear his inquiry, asked: Bangs, Bangs, do you mane that Bangs tnat. was just after runnin’ fur mayor.' 4*iy friend told him that I was the same one, but explained that that was not vir. Bangs’ only attribute to fame. He went on to say that Mr. Bangs had wnnen several books, one of which a man out in California had read from beginning *.o end, anu that a large fam ilv in Balt Lake Cit^. had read an other of his works. In fact, he said Mr. Bangs' reputation might well be called national. ‘Well,’ broke in tho Irishman, ‘his repitation moight be national all rolght, but Oi’Il be dahnm cd if it’s local.’ ” “JUST RUN ACROSS" Some People Are Lucky. Some people make an Intelligent study of food and get on the right track (pure food) others are lucky enough to stumble upon the *’ght way out of the difficulty Just as a Phila. young woman did. She says: "1 had suffered terribly from nervous Indigestion, everything seemed to disagree with me and 1 was on the point of starvation when one da/ I happened to run across a demon stration of Postum Food Coffee at one of the big stores here. "I took a sample home and a sample of Grape-Nuts as well and there tried them again and found they agreed with me perfectly. For months I made them my main diet and as tho result 1 am restored to ray former per fect health and can eat everything I want to. "When 1 spoke to my physician about Grape-Nuts he said ‘It is a most excellent food.’ ” Name given by Po* tum Co.. Rattle Creek. Mich. There's a reason. Look for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellvllle,” In every package of both Postum and Grape , Nuts. HIGH HONOR FCR WOMAN. Miss Violet Oakley to Decorate New Pennsylvania Capitol. For the first time in the history of 'reerican art a woman is to be iunnst cil with the mural decorations of a great public building. When the new capitol at Harrisburg, Pa., is finish ed one of the most interesting e ights the guides will have to show visitors will lie a great frieze entitled "The Romarce of the Founding of the State.” Violet Oakley is to be the creator of this work. She returned from Europe prepared to settle down to her task, and in the quaint building at the Red Rose inn, In Villanova, Pa., where she has established her studio, is now pre paring the designs for the panels. The loom in the capitol which Miss M7JJ VIOLET OAKLEy Oakley Is to decorate Is 70 by 30 feet and 10 feet high. The frieze, divided into panels, is to be five feet in depth, beginning eleven feet from the floor The subject allows latitude for origi nal treatment. Miss Oakley is one of a trio of tal ented women who form a colony at Villanova. Her name is associated with those of Miss Jessie Wilcox Smith and Miss Elizabeth Shippen Green, the three having leased the picturesque old inn, which was once a famous roadhouse, and made a workshop of the barn at the rear of the main build ing. Each of the three has her special vork, but Miss Oakley, unlike her "ompanlous, has not confined herself o illustration only. It is in mural de sign and in stained glass work that he excels. Her decorations in the Church of All Angels in New York, Paced her name among the leading irtists in that line of work. The de ign consisted of an altarpiece in mo saic—a study of the Ascension—with wo curving side pieces representing he “Heavenly Hosts.” Just how many years it will take to ■omplete the work Miss Oakley has no dea. As a preliminary she went on a our of Europe, visiting Assisi, Venice, Naples, Rome and Florence, studying he work of Italian masters of mural lecorations. Then she went to Eng and to olnain the historical (lata which vas to be obtained there. At the Ken ungton Museum, Oxford and else rnere Miss Oakley found the neces ary groundwork for the compositions md then returned to her studio to be lin her designs. The young artist thus honored with vork that none hut a master would >e intrusted with was born in New Vork, where she first started her les ions at the Art League, working for a while under Carroll Beckwith. English Hunting. The mrfney spent on hunting in Eng land would be represented by a gold coin fourteen feet high and one loot thick. This would equal in weight a box containing 8,300 foxes. Dread Tale of a Letter. A man in Hiawatha, Ivan., recently received a letter addressed to him, but instead of the name of the town was a bar or so of music. The post office officials had passed the letter along until one was found who could sing, and he sang the music and found It to be a part of the song which lias driven so many to the brink of an early grave. The letter was then sent at once to the man in the Kan sas town.—New York Tribune. Shoe Polish Explodes. A box of shoe polish exploded in the home of Mrs. John H. Thomas at Wilkesbarre, Pa., and she was severe ly burned, while the house was set on fire. She was polishing her shoes near the cook stove and the heat caused the explosion. Caught Immense Smelt. Cyrus W. Oliver of East Saugus, Mass., caught from the raft belonging to the boat club the biggest smelt of the season. It weighed after it was dressed 10V& ounces and measured 11% inches.

Arithniei'e I pr< 1;;.• . uft *n r» ! -r. nf its “lightning calculator?," have r.n unusual capacity for combining num here. The wonderful feat'; of these prodigies have been pronounced genu ine by comp tent Judges, although their psychological peculiarities, hoi. over, seem characteristic of most of the known cases; an extraordinary memory for numerical combinations, and unnsual methods for grouping numbers. That their ability is not entirely the r< suit of special training is attested by the early ago at which the power is manife led. Titus, ct •ho ago of fi, T. H. Safford computed mentally the number (617.7CO) of bar ley-corns in 1,040 rods, and could ex tract the cube roots of numbers of 9 and in figures, Buxton solved the problem, to find the product of doub ling a farthing 189 times, the result, express'd In pounds, being a number of 39 figures. Zcrah Colburn, at 9 years of age. gave at sight the factors of .394,907,297, and in 20 seconds found mentally the number of hours in 1,811 years. Raising 991 to the fifth power in thirteen operations, and giving the product of any pair of two figure numbers in 1 1-2 seconds, are feats accomplished by Arthur Griffith, who also memorized the squares of all numbers up to 130 and the cubes up to 100. Birds That Blush. An observer finds that some birds blush. He writes: "We have a very fine specimen of the blue and yellow macaw which displays this trait—not often, for he Is remarkably gcod-tem pered—and the ‘blush’ is an invari able sign of anger; so much so, that we warn all friends that while his cheeks remain white all attacks are feigned and in play and can he disre garded. yet if the 'danger signal'— red—shows, to look out and keep out of reach." The owner of a blue and orange macaw says that its white, parehment-llke face becomes bright pink, especially above the beak, when ever it is angry or excited. For Human Wrecks. This gospel lighthouse is at Coney Island. In the midst of the liurly-hur ly of roller roasters, merry-go-rounds, and other noisy engines of amuse ments, is this church, little different in architecture from the structures which surround it. The "lighthouse" adjoins the church and is a skeleton tower rising to a height of sixty-five feet above the sandy beach. The lan tern at the sunmit of the tower is an electric transparency on the four sides of which are emblazoned nightly the words "Jesus Saves.” Equator Not a Perfect Circle. A startling fact which has recently been demonstrated Is that the equator is not a perfect circle. If you could drop a plumbline from Ireland through to New Zealand, It would be somewhat longer than another which cut the earth at right angles to It. The difference has not yet been as certained with absolute accuracy. Watch of Historic Interest. Horace A. Moody of Cornwall, Vt., has a Swiss watch which was once the property of his grandfather, Joshua Stockwell, one of the pioneers of Cornwall, who died in 1840. The watch was carried in the Harrison campaign of 1840 and again in the Harrison campaign of 1888. Had a Prosperous Season. The fishing steamer Leander Wil cox arrived at Mystic, Conn., a few days ago with 640,000 menhaden. This is the largest catch ever brought in at one time and was taken at two sets of the big seine. This makes 16,200, 000 fish brought in by this steamer this season. Polecat in Hard Luck. A novel scene was recently seen at Rockland, Mass.—that of a polecat running along the street with his head in an old tin can which he could not shake off. The boys chased, without any desire to capture him, and he escaped, can and all, into an old stone wall. The Pity of It. f I TEEL \ 0 CTTEH N.

One of the most famous torture chambers of the Middle Ages is sit I I__ uatcd at Cuenca, East Spain. It was widely known throughout the coun try as No. 23. So great was the dread of the particular room that the fatal number 23 was synonymous for many years with unspeakable cruelty. The door of the room was locked with a key whose face formed the numerals. The key, which is still preserved, is a very ponderous affair.—New York Herald. Underground Marvels. Particulars have just been pub lished of a wonderful series of under ground caves in the Stalden district of Canton Schwyze, in Switzerland. The existence of these places had be fore been vaguely known, but they have now for the first time been fully explored by a party which went down provided with 5,000 yards of rope lad ders, acetylene lamps, rugs and pro visions for eight days. They wero underground for two full days, pene trating for a distance of 2,500 yards through vast halls, brilliant with stal actite and other crystals, and with oth er great recesses branching from them. There were also found swift subterranean torrents, powerful enough to work great industrial un dertakings. A Canary Bird. The women of the Canary islands have even more Moorish blood in their veins than their Spanish cousins. Their dark beauty is well set off by the white shawl covering the head and framing the faco, a garment probably A CANAKy BIRO derived from the Moslem veil. But the whites of the largo, lustrous eyes are whiter than the shawl. Holds Old Commission. In August. 1851, S. P. Richmond ot Freetown. Mass., was commissioned a lieutenant in Co.
