Tennessee Praise.
Dayton, Tenn., Dec. 11th (Special)
—Among many prominent residents
to praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills is Mr.
N. R. Roberts of this place. He tells
of what they have done for him, and
his words will go deep into the hearts
of all who are suffering in the same
way. He says:
“I was a martyr to Kidney Trouble,
but Dodd’s Kidney Pills completely
cured me. I shall always keep them
on hand in case there should be any
return of the old trouble, but I am
thankful to say they did their work
so well there has not been the slight
est sign of my old complaint coming
back. The pain in my back used to
be terrible. If I got down I had a
hard job to get straight again. But
my back is like a new one now and I
can stoop as much as I please. I don’t
believe there ever was any medicine
half so good as Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”

Women in the Armies*.
Women, disguised as men, have oft
en served as soldiers. The following
inscription is on a tombstone in the
English town of Brighton: “In mem

1821, aged 108 years. She served for
many years as a private soldier in
many parts of Europe, and at the bat

Bonanza Kings.
The bonanza kings were: James C.

on the Pacific coast. They had vari
ous imitators and successors, who
shared the name, but these four men
were the “only original” bonanza

No Lack of Attention.
It was seven-year-old Tom’s first

Why Japs Are Good Sailore.
A Japanese marine officer has ex

Water a Real Food.
Water is contained in all solid foods,
animal and vegetable. It forms the
greater part of all liquid foods. It is
found in all the secretions of the body,
as the bile and gastric juice. From
these, and many other facts, scien
tists say, we must conclude water to
be a real food.
Death to His Hopes.
A Kansas man called upon a young

ing the reply: “Yes, but ay tank he
no in town tonight.”

“I am a literary man whose nervous
energy is a great part of my stock In
trade, and ordinarily I have little pa
tience with breakfast foods and the
extravagant claims made of them.
But I cannot withhold my acknowledg
ment of the debt that I owe to Grape
Nuts food.
“I discovered long ago that tbs very
bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give one a clear head, the
power of sustained, accurate thinking.
I always felt heavy and sluggish in
mind as well as body after eating the
ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.
“I tried foods easy of digestion, but
found them usually deficient in nutri
ment. I experimented with many
breakfast foods and they, too, proved
unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape
Nuts. And then the problem was
solved.
"Grape-Nuts agreed with me per
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
“I had not been using it very long
before I found that 1 was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality of
work. Continued use has demonstrat

THRONES OF RUSSIAN (ZARS
Priceless Historical Relics at Moscow of the
House of Rurik and the Romanoffs—Out*
ward and Visible Signs of the
Great Slav Nation.
However turbulent the state of Rus
sia may become, the Kremlin at Mos
cow will probably remain in its at
mosphere of religious and national
mystery free from the attacks of
those who are struggling against the
czar. It is one thing to throw a bomb
at a grand duke or even assassinate
a czar, but the casket that contains all
the outward and visible signs of the
Russian nation has so far been free
from the attack of even the most rad
ical revolutionists.
It la the very heart of old Russia,
thkoh£ or tm Czar Michael.
and to lay sacrilegious hands on Us
shrines would seem like a blow aimed
at the land and not at the bureau
cracy or the government. The Krem
lin, which is a section of the old town
enclosed by a wall, contains the most
venerated religious and imperial rec
ords of the country.
Here are the czars crowned and
married and here in the old castle of
the Kremlin have dwelt emperors
and their families, the boyards and all
the royal retinue. Here are preserved
the thrones of the rulers, their
crowns, their scepters and all the
outward signs of their power.
It has for this reason happened that
even those who wanted to throw over
the old order forever have not been
allowed to lay hands on the treasures
of the Kremlin. It is at the main
entrance to this group of buildings
on the hill that the most sacred ikon
of Russia is exhibited in a shrine.
It is the picture of the Iberian
Mother of God. The chapel in which
it stands was built in 1669, and there
the czar goes immediately on his ar
rival in the Holy City. He makes the
sign of the cross on approaching the
gate, just as any peasant, grand duke
or stranger must do.
It was this image that was carried
to the frontier when the fortunes of
Russia in the recent war with Japan
were at their worst. It is frequently
carried to the homes of the sick in
Moscow In a carriage drawn by six
horses and equipped with lackeys in
livery and bareheaded.
The Cathedral of the Assumption is
the spot of perhaps the greatest sig
nificance, for there the czars since
1475 have been crowned, and there
are buried nine of the patriarchs of
the Greek church. The tenth, who
would complete the list, is buried in
the convent in which he lived for
many years.
The cathedral has been burned
down four times and was rebuilt last
in 1812. One of its wonders is the
shroud of the Blessed Virgin, with the
veil she wore at the time of her death!
These relics were sent to the Czar
Michael Feodorovitch in 1626 by the
shah of Persia.
Then there is the wonderful image
of the Virgin Korsoun, said to have
been made by St. Luke. There is a
ruby worth $15,000 in the crown of the
image, and the jewels in the little
frame are estimated at $100,000 in
value.
The dimly lighted Interior of the
church is thick with the odor of in
cense at all times. The smoky air
adds to the mysterious and medieval
Impression that the gloomy church
makes.
The basilic of the Archangel Mi
chael is the place of burial of all the
czars of the house of Rurik and all
the Romanoff predecessors of Peter
the Great. Peter the Great and the
other czars of his line are entombed
in the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul
in St. Petersburg.
This church dates from 1505. There
are forty-seven czars in the sarcophagi
of the church, among them being Ivan
the Terrible. His son. Vassily, called

the Usurper, lies in a small chapel
built especially for him.
The treasures of this church are
said to be incredibly rich, including
images and jewels of great value. It
is in the Convent of the Miracles in
the Kremlin that the heads of the
church reside.
St. Alexis founded the order, and
Djani-Ber, khan of the Tartars, who
was then reigning in1 the Kremlin,
gave him the property on which the
monastery was built in 1365. Here the
Metropolitans of Moscow, who are the
most important in Russia, have al
ways resided.
Many of the czars have been taken
here for baptism. The children of
Ivan IV., Alexis and Alexander II.
were baptized here. Formerly all the

Burns and the Brokers.
John Burns, M. P., of London, who
recently visited the United States in
cognito, tells some amusing stories of
his experiences, one of which is as
follows:
“While in New York I was anxious
to see something of the campaign
work, and looked around for political
meetings, so that I might hear your
speakers. I was particularly anxious
to s&e a meeting in the financial dis
trict and was particularly gratified
when going down Wall street I saw
a big gathering In Broad street.

Frances Willard Honored in England.
A tablet has recently been erected
to the memory of Frances E. Willard
in the quaint old parish church of
Horsmonden, England, the birthplace
of her ancestor, Simon Willard, who
in 1634 founded Concord, N. H. Miss
Willard on her last visit to England
put up a tablet to Simon Willard in
this old church and last summer a
distant cousin of hers placed a
memorial tablet to Miss Willard un
der the first one. It says that “she
accomplished a greater work than
her ancestor, for she laid the founda
tion of reform in her country wider
and more enduring.”
Getting Up a Reputation.
“I wish,” said Titewodd to the law

appeared to be very excited, and I
suspected some unpopular candidate
was expected. I waited for a consider
able time and then I turned to a
neighbor and asked him when the
speakers were likely to arrive. You
should have seen his look.
“ ‘What speakers?’ he asked.
“ ‘Why,’ I said, ‘th speakers who
are to address this meeting.’
“‘Meeting!’ he fairly yelled. ‘Meet

A Suitable Candidate.
A parish church in Scotland was va
cant, and the beadle, who was rather
a pawky character, was very loud in
his praise of one of the candidates.
This gentleman was duly elected,
and proved a great success, whereupon
some of the members of the congrega
gation asked the beadle what there
had been about the candidate that so
conclusively indicated his good quali
ties.
"Oh, naethtng at a’,” said the bea

When “Jule” Trask Stuttered.
“Jule” Trask, the genial and witty
city clerk of Laconia, with an impedi

makes it difficult for him to express
himself readily, is well known to
everybody in New Hampshire.
A few years since he was appointed
to a position at Manila' by the Hon.
John D. Long, then secretary of the
navy, and reported at Washington at
the secretary’s office for orders. When
he was introduced to the secretary he
was a bit more nervous than ever be
fore in his life, and the secretary sym
pathetically asked: “Do you always
stutter, Mr. Trask?”
“N-n-n-no, only wh-wh-wh-when I

There are the three great religious
and political monuments of the Krem
lin. Every one of them is associated
with some bloody deecs in the turbu
lent history of Russia before revolu
tionists were thought of, and the prize
was the throne for which all the dy
nasties struggled, while the common
people fought for them.
In the palace of the Kremlin are
preserved the thrones and chairs of
many of the czars. Some of them,
like that of Czar Boris, are wonderful
specimens of Tartar and Russian art
Beautifully carved with religious
and historical groups in relief is the
throne of Ivan III., who reigned from
1462 to 1605. It is carved in wood,
with inlays of gold and silver.
It was this Ivan who. after his mar
riage to Sophia, a bister of the last
of the Byzantine emperors, adopted
the Byzantine eagle es the emblem of
his country. It appears in the panel
on the back of the throne. It was the
first to ornament tie throne of a
czar.
Simpler in design, although heavily
adorned with topaz and other stones,
is the throne of his legitimate succes
sor, Michael Feodorot itch, the first of
the Romanoffs. The style of the throne
shows the purely Russian influence in
art which had come to show itself
with the gradual unification of the
Russian people.
His armchair in which he was ac
customed to receive his courtiers in
his own apartment in the palace of
the Kremlin is plainly the work of
European artists. This is shown by
the woodwork and the French velours.
Already artificers from France, Eng
land and Italy had been attracted to
Russia by the great wealth of the
court. They were allowed to exercise
their skill on articles of furniture,
but at that period they could design
the thrones only when they were will
ing to follow national taste and fash
ion. *

Elizabeth shows, they directly copied
French models. The carved and gild
ei wood, the embroidery and the satin
bespeak the seat of a Russian mon
arch only in the heraldic designs.
There is nothing in .he shape or ma
terial to proclaim that these thrones
were meant for Russia.
The thrones of Boris Godunoff, who
reigned from 1598 to 1605, shows the
taste of Russia before the Romanoffs.
It is highly characteristic of the pe
riod in which the art of the Tartars
and the nations to ihe east of Russia
had kept free from European influ
ence. Its symmetrical but rugged
lines and the crude method of apply
ing the excessive ornamentation of
jewels and metals date from a time
in which European models were never
followed.
The throne of Czars Peter and Paul
is characteristically Russian in the
elaboration and excessive silver orna
mentation. The throne of Alexis Mi
chaelovitch is simpler in design, but
much more valuable. It is heavily or
namented with diamonds, and these
gems show a Russian delight in rich
ness for its own sake combined with
a respect for the outlines that Europe
considered more artistic. Boris’s
throne was not even affected as to its
outlines by the taste of Europe.—New

The Man with a Career.
A man with a career can have no
time to waste upon his wife or his
friends—he has to devote himself
wholly to his enemies.—John Oliver
Hobbes.
A Great Monarch.
Wealthier than any brother sover
eign; master of legions, which num
ber over a million; lord of more than
one-sixth of the surface of the globe,
with subjects of many colors and
races, amounting to over one hundred
and twenty million souls, the Czar of
’all the Russias will not be Invincible
until he adopts Pillsbury’s Vitos as

Every housekeeper should know that
If they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not only time, because it never sticks
to the iron, but because each package
contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while
all other Cold Water Starches are put
up in %-pound packages, and the price
is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tri6s to sell you a 12-oz. package it
is because he has a stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that
Defiance Starch has printed on every
package in large letters and figures
“16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save
much time and money and the annoy
ance of the iron sticking. Defiance
never sticks.
As a balm philosophy seems to be
