SEVEN YEARS AGO
A Rochester Chemist Found a Singu
larly Effective Medicine.
William A. Franklin, of the Frank
'in&Palmer Chemical Co., Rochester,
N. Y., writes:
oeven years ago
I was suffering very
much through the
failure of the kid
neys to eliminate
the uric acid from
my system. My
back was very lame
and ached -if I
overexerted myself in the least degree.
At times I was weighed down with a
feeling of languor and depression and
suffered continually from annoying ir
regularities of the kidney secretions.
I procured a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills and began using them. I found
prompt re'ief from the aching and
lameness in my back, and by the time
I had taken three boxes I was cured
of all irregularities.”

PIGEON FLIES WITH TRAIN.
Belgium Homer Makes Regular Trips
with One Particular
Train.
Homing pigeons are the cra:;e in
England just now, and on one recent
Saturday between 200,000 and 300 000
birds were released in various com
petitions.
A number of these were traced to
London from Retford and Cranston.
The distances are 127 and 113 mile:>. re
spectively, but no birds of the several
thousand released made the trip in the
traditional mile a minute, although
ever}- circumstance of wind and weath
er was favorable to record-breaking.
Much better time was made in a
contest from Templecombe to Lon Ion,
in which one bird made the 108 miles
in 94 minutes, an average i f 69 iriles
an hour, and more than 100 exceeded a
speed of 60 miles an hour.
One of the oldest homers is a bird
which makes its home around the rail
way station at Liege, in Belgium.
There is a train from Liege td
Waremme which starts every morning
at ten o'clock.
As soon as the train pulls Into the
station the bird commences to circle
in the air, and as soon as headwa" Is
gained follows the train to its destina
tion, returning immediately home,
where it flies about the station for
the rest of the day.
It pays no attention to any other of
the trains, and no one is able to of
fer an explanation as to why this par
ticular train siould be favored.
EVERYTHING WAS LIMITED.
And When It Came to the “Tip” the
Passenger Kind of Evened
Things Up.
The old farmer went to one end of
the swaying coach to wash his hands.
He could find only a few remnants of
soap. “Boy,” he bawled, “there don’t
teem to be much soap here.”
“No, sail,” chuckled the porter, “you
Know dis is de limited. Ebhything
abohd am limited.”
Then the old man tried to fill a
glass from the water cooler. He could
force out only a few drops.
“Where is the water, boy?”
“Not n-uch watah, sah. Dat am lim
ited. too.”
Presently the porter brushed the old
farmer down and the latter handed
him nine coppers.
“Why, boss.” protested the porter,
“yo’ gib de porter on de udder train
a quarter.”
“I know that,” chuckled the old
farmer, “but you know this is the lim
ited. and everything should bs lim
ited.”
RAILWAY FOG SIGNALS,
Regular Repair Gangs Required on
Railroads in Eng
land.
It is so seldom that there is a suffi
ciently heavy fog on an American
railway to cause serious inconvenience
that no special precautions are taken,
but in England a heavy fog is so com
mon that there is a regular service
made up of the repair gangs, wno
take the place of the mechanical sig
nals.
Every distance signal is guarded by
a signal man who is supplied with
flags and torpedoes, the latter being
called detonators, while the signal
men are pointsmen.
Two torpedoes are placed on the
track to warn the engineer when the
signal is set at danger, and are sup
plemented by a red lantern in the
hands of the signal man. As the tor
pedoes cost a cent and a half each
and are used in great numbers there
Is a machine supplied by which the
second torpedo is forced from the rail
by the force of the explosion of the
first, as only one is necessary, the sec
ond being merely a precaution.
Engineer Operates Switch.
The engineer has a new duty. A
new type of switch has been devised
which puts its control in the hands ot
the engineer. In this switch the point
pieces move in a vertical direction in
stead of horizontally. This means
that bolts, nuts, coal, cinders, and
other materials cannot drop to ob
struct the operation or proper closing
of the switch points, as sometimes ac
cidentally happens to ordinary point
rails. The wheel flanges automatically
operate the switch, regardless of the
engineer, when trains are passing ove?
!*. trailing on either the main line ot
side track, but when coming from the
opposite direction, or facing the switch,
the engineer controls its action there
being incline plane trips in advance of
the switch on the outside of eithei
raii where the flange does not come in
contact. To operate these outside mov
able flanges attached to the front
wheels of the engine track are con
nected by lever with the engine cab
where the engineer or fireman can con
trol the switch at will, as in emerg
ency.
Something Else to I'o.
borne years ago, when the route of
a railroad to Atlantic City was being
surveyed and the men were driving
stakes through the premises of an old
farmer, he addressed the leacer of the

KIDNEY TROUBLE
Suffered Two Years—Relieved In Three
Months
* ..." _
“/ have suffered with kidney and
bladder trouble for ten years past.
“Last March I commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months.
I have not used it since, nor have 1 felt
a pain.
“ 1 believe that I am well and I there
fore give my highest commendation tc
the curative qualities of Peruua.”
Pe-ru-na for Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can., writes:
“ I had not been well for about four
years. / had kidney trouble, and, in
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
“This summer I got so very bad I
thought 1 would try Peruna. sol wrote
to von and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
“ I took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now 1 feel
better than I have for some time.
“I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made a different woman of me
altogether. I bless the day 1 picked up
the little book and read of your Peruna.
It is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this 6ort of a rein
edy. It has saved many people from
disaster bv rendering the kidneys ser
vice at a time when they were not able
to bear their own burdens.
SPOETS OF CHILDREN.
Skipping rope is a childish pastime
of ancient origin. In place of a rope,
a vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement of riding a
cane is of great antiquity. It was
practiced by the children of Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. It came from Europe about
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury.
me spinning oi lops, a iavome
amusement among children in the
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind of fun
was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. It has been played by children
from early times, and is still a fa
vorite game with hoys.
The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re
semble that species of bird called a
kite. The amusement of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
of flying kites is very ancient.
CONCERNING CLOCKS.
Never allow the clock to run down.
It responds to regular attention just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing tne right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is well bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for dusting or for artistic pur
poses. This is especially true of
clocks that have a pedulum.
BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
“My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and.
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions,” says a Col
orado mother.
“I decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
“When I reached my sister’s home
she said immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
“That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girt
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph I send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't lodk anything like that be
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn’t keep any other food on his
stomach.” Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray
filling in the nerve centers and brain
A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book. "The Road to Wellyilla.”
ON PORCH FURNITURE.
•If Porch Is Small Use a Shelf for a
Table-and Chairs Without
Rockers.
Few porches have room for a good
sized table, but this can be managed
by having an oblong strip of wood
fastened on the wall, between the win
dows, with hinges at the bottom. When
this is not in use, it takes up no room,
as It is firmly attached to the wall.
One or more legs must be added for
the end, and need not of necessity be
unsightly.
Another way of doing would be to
keep an ironing table with folding legs
laid against the wall, all ready to be'
brought out when it was needed. The
legs would have to be cut down to a
convenient height for using while sit-,
ting, and it could he stained or paint
ed to match the best of the ftiraiture.
Where there is plenty of wall space
the width of the table could be placed
against the wall, and two firm iron
brackets could support the leaf when
a table is required. It is often useful
to have some place to stow away mag
azines and little articles, and a couple
of shelves placed on the wall above
the table would add much to the ap
pearance of the porch, and be a very
useful article of furniture. These
boards should be just the length of
the table, and placed on the wall at
the right height, so that when the table
is fastened up, the outside just reaches
beneath the shelves. With the bench
below, and the underneath part of the
table forming a back, over-topred by
some cunning little book shelves, what
an attractive piece of furniture we
should have. Some little curtains on
rings would add a note of color, and
the whole thing coild be made by a
member of the family. Sometimes an
old church pew can be picked up in
country places for a dollar, and in that
case the table might hang down, and
the new go against the wall, beneath
the hook shelves.
Bamboo screens which roll up and
down are often useful if the porch is
very sunny. A more delightful screen
is formed by vines tunning over wire
across the sunny end, or where a
neighbor s porch overlooks one’s own.
If the house stands alone, a porch is
cooler if all the sides are left open for
the air to blow through, and vines are
only allowed to grow above the height
of seven feet. So many small porches
are too much overgrown, and not only
keep the air out in summer, but for the
rest of the year darken the rooms that
overlook the oorch.
It Is best not to have too many rock
ers an a small porch, as they take up
too much room. Windsor chairs,
stained or painted, are always liked,
especially by men, and they can be
used with chairs of other varieties.
A pretty Indian cotton held in place
by a drawing pin, which can readily be
taken out when the cloth is shaken,
makes an admirable cover for the ta
ble. If matting or basket tables are.
used, it is best to have them uncov
ered. A whisk brush can be kept near
by to brush off the tops daily.—Chica
go Inter Ocean.
HINTS TO HOTJSEKEEPEKS.
An old-fashioned remedy for sore
throat that is said to be effective is a
nutmeg worn on a silk thread around
the neck. The hole through the nut
meg is made with a red-hot awl.
A bottle of camphor or oil of cedar
with the cork left out, if hung on a
hook in the closet, will keep away
moths without imparting a disagree
able odor to the clothing.
To clean velvet, first brush or shake
out all of the dust and remove any
grease stains with benzine. If it needs
freshening pass the wrong si != over
a bowl of boiling water and then over
a hot iron. If it is badly crushed
brush carefully with a soft brush.
Now that strawberries are in the
market, try a strawberry salad, some
thing which has the merit of novelty
and something beside. Make cups of
blanched lettuce leaves and put in each
a few ripe berries. Dust with powder
ed sugar, and place on top a spoonful
of mayonnaise into which whipped
cream has been stirred.
If the carpets in summer are left \
down and covered with linen they are
saved from moth ravages by brushing
the edges with a hot solution of alum
and water and sprinkling them over
with powdered borax. If they are tak
en up and put away borax will pre
serve them as effectually and be far
less objectionable than the dreadful
carbolic acid balls, whose perfume
cannot be mitigated nor overcome the
next season by any number of pot
pourri jars whatsoever.
in case ot earache do not put any
thing into the ear except by direction
of a physician. The best way to re
lieve earache is to heat an iron or a
brick, wrap it in two or three thick
nesses of flannel, pour warm water on
the top, when steam will rise at once.
If the ear is placed close to the flannel
the steam will permeate every part of
it
A shoe that is uncomfortable from
pinching may be eased by laying a
cloth wet in hot water across the
place where it pinches, changing it as
it grows coler a number of times.
This will cause the leather to shape
itself to the foot.
Stains on white flannel are hard to
remove. The best way is to mix equal
parts of the yolks of eggs and glycer
in, apply it to the stains, aqd allow
it to soak for half an hour or so be
fore the article is washed.—Boston
Budget and Beacon.
A Tasty Chop for Invalid.
Trim away every particle of fat from
a neck or loin chop, melt a piece of
butter on a plate, sprinkle the chop
with pepper and salt; dip both sides
in the butter, and sprinkle a little
lemon juice over the top. leaving it in
the better for at least two hours. Put
the yolk of an egg on a plate, with a
teaspoonful of grated cheese. Mix it
together, and mask the chop freely
with the mixture. Have ready some
boiling dripping in a frying-pan, lay in
the chop, and let it cook thoroughly,
first on one side, and then on the
other; it will take quite six minutes
to cook, the fat being kept boiling the
whole of the time. Drain it on a piece
of clean paper, and serve on a little
mound of nicely mashed potato, a* hot
as possible.
