' 1 New York has subscribed near ly $80,000 for the McKinley mon ument at Cuntou, most of it being given in New York city. The electric light tower of Au rora, III., constructed in 1883 and the pioneer installation of that type, have been taken down. Tho Chicago Coliseum, in which can seat 15,000 people and is lo cated in the center of the city is to bo utilized as an indoor sum mer garden. The Salvation Army is floating an issue of $130, 000 of bonds to provide homes for the poor. On lile are applications, from more than 1,000 families anxious to leave New York city and settle on farming land. One of the last wishes express oil by a lady who died recently near San Francisco was that her favorite motor car should be taken out to sea and sunk in deep water. The deathbed order has been duly obeyed. Union Pacific railroad officials have created consternation in the Boulder oilfields by announcing that nearly all the deeds for pro perty sold during the past six years contain a clause expressly reserving the mineral on the land. According to a rough estimate prepared by the navy department 7,500 medals will be required for the officers and men of thenavy and marine corps who participat ed in the engagements in and ad jacent to the West Indies during tho war with Spain.

It is with joy I tell you what Kodol did for me. I was troubled with my stomach for several months. Upon being advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words can not tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it. Geo. W. Fry, Viola, Iowa. Health aud strength, of mind and body, depends on the stomach, and nor mal activity of the digestive or gans Kodol, the great recon structive tonic, cures all stomach and bowel troubles, indigestion, and dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good food you eat. Take a dose after meals. CROWNS IN PAWN. On four occasions has the Crown of England been in pawn. The most frequently quoted is that which happened in 1880, when Iticharcl II was driven to this last resource to replenish his depleted treasury. The crown, however, must either have been of comparatively little value, or the merchants of London, to whom he pledged it, adepts at driving a shrewd bargain, for the amount received, as vouched for by the Kiug's receipt when redeeming his regalia, was but 2000. Richard, however, was but fol lowing iu the steps of his father, Edward III, who, pressed for money, did not hesitate to place the symbol of royalty in pledge with the Bishop of Winchester for tho comparatively handsome sum of 13,500. Henry III, impoverished by 'Me struggle against his barons, and Henry V, by his war in Franco, likewise hypothecated tho crown! Charles II, also, would doubtless have done so; and; iudeod, the pardon and subsequent , pensioning of Colonel Blood seem to "point to the fact that that adventurer, when he atteuiptod to steal the regalia, was acting with the King's cou nivauce.

MELLOTT. LONGEVITY AND PERSONAL HABITS. Those who live to an extreme old age are probably the result of a long series of selected lives, further fortified by exemplary per sonal habits, like tho Jews, who, for 2000 years, have been compell ed to live iu crowded quarters of cities, with minimum of air and light, until nature's selective pro cesses, together with their rigid adherence to the admirable sani tary code of Moses, have produc ed a stock that can endure almost anything, with little apparent in jury. The Ghetto in Rome was the healthiest quarter in the city, and at the present day the Jewish quarter of New York, the most crowded, and until recently, the dirtiest, part of town, has the lowest death rate. Persons with such constitutions, being, in a large measure, proof against mor bific influences, are generally iu jurod only by their own excesses, and it will be found as a rule, that centenarians have been persons of this class, who have seldom been ill in their lives, who have had the contagious diseases of childhood lightly, if at all, who have always been temperate in, all things, light eaters and drinkers, slow to wrath, able to control their passions and emotions, and usually leading a placid, uneven ful life. Such conditions can be brought about by sanitary laws only as a result of long continued teaching and pressure extending over many generations, and may not be perceptible in the race for a hundred years to come. Our first parents wore driven from the Garden of Eden for fear they would be come immortal, and their descendants have lost bo rauch ground that only one out of millions is able to reach physio logical limit of lifo, which certain ly should be 100 years, and possi bly 120.
