HoRun, former post trmster of IndlanolH, now living at Allium, it. writes: "I was afflicted for years with pains across the IoIds and in the hips and shoul ders. I had headache also and neuralgia. My right eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow of urine kept my sys tem depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats. After trying seven clfferent .climates and using all kinds of medicine I had the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills.. This remedy has cured me. I am as well to-day as I was twenty years ago, and my eyesight is perfect." Sold by all dealers. BO cents a tinx. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. .V UMBERS AS PLACE NAMES. Uncommon things arc common around the bureau of information at union Station, and a clerk who has served there for sometime becomes accustomed to all torts of freak questions. Last night a man from Southeastern Missouri, with u wooden lrg, presented himself at the window and told a new attache of the office Ihat he wanted to know when the train left for "6. "I guess you've got your figures twist cd," said the clerk, who thought the Missourian was joking. "It's 23 you're looking for." The stranger wandered away withoul the information, but finally boarded a train for Seventy-six, Perry County, Mo There i-s also a Seventy-six in Clinton County, Ky. ; a Seventeen in Ohio and a Seven Stars in Pennsylvania. The clerk found this out by consulting his railroad guide a little later. St. Loui? Globe-Democrat. LARGEST TOMATO PLANTS. The largest tomato plants in the world arc found in California. One growei has three plants which have reached a length of 30 feet. In three months from the time the seeds were planted they had climbed tc the top of a 20-foot trellis. When tlicv reached this remarkable height they grew backward until they attained a length oi JO feet. They have no special care or culti vation, and have had no protection from the weather; yet, in spite of every dis advantage, they kept on growing ant' fruiting in the most astonishing fashion The trunks are Vi inches in diameter, the foliage thick and luxuriant. Enor mous quantities of tomatoes have been licked from these three plants, and the fruit is of unusual size, possessing fine flavor. What to liat. THE POLITEST MAN. The politest man has been discovered. He was hurrying along the street the other night, when another man, also in violent haste, rushed out of a doorway, nd the two collided with great force. The second man looked mad, while the polite man, taking off his hat, said : "My dear sir, I don't know which of lis is to blame for this violent encounter, but I am in too great a hurry to investi gate. If I ran into you, I beg your par don ; if yon ran into me, don't mention it." And he tore away with redoubled speed. Chicago Journal. HE WAS SORRY.

A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble; they were caused by the use of cof fee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter long to give me strength. "? doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but If I got any belter it only lasted u llttlo while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad. for Postum and told my wife I would try It, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat any thing that is cooked to eat. I have increased In weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stom ach since I began U6ing Postum. Why, I believe Postum win almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects It had on me and when they were feel ing bad they began to ubo Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum."

"It Is ordered that Jacob Haddlman, the prisoner at the bar, be taken forthwith to St. Luke's Hdspilal by his mother- and an officer of this court, and that the surgeons properly in attendance at that institution perform such opera tion on the said Jacob Haddlman as will be necessary, in their Judgment, to remove any and all such pressure on his brln as may be caused by RilmioklB or other accretions, and that the Bald Jacob Haddlman be de tained In St. Luke's Hospital subject to the order of court." Judge Julian Mack, of Chlcapo, and Judge Haiald Salomon, of Stock holm, Sweden, were sitting on the bench with Judge Barratt In the Ju venile Court here when this unprece dented order was handed down, and both concurred in the thought that too many boys are sent to piinon who should be cared for in clinics. In Pennsylvania a Judgo may send boys to any one of the several re formatories or to an asylum. Since be nas made a special study of juve nile crime Judc Barratt has com mitted Beveral boys to the State Hos pital for the Jnano In Norrlatown, where, under competent medical and surgical treatment, wonders have been worked with IncniTlxliilc-a. Dr. Ernest La Place trephined the Bluill of Spurgeon Welly, and a very wicked boy became a lovable and capable little chap. Dr. Desiderio Roman, who accompanied Lieutenant Peary in his hunt for t'.io North Pole, did the samo for Jacob Haddiman in St. Luke's Hospital, nnd the boy, who was a daring and pevslntnt thief, shows marked and increasing signs of moral regeneration. Jacob Haddlman, it was discovered, had a fractured skull. Who, then, shall now insist that all criminals are merely vicious and that none is diseased or malformed? The proposition advance! by Edward Dunlap, burglar, really seems to be close to proof. The Theory of 1 1.- Rurslar. Hear Dunlap, who. when willing hi.i brain to scleneo, Wrote, with the hand of death on him: "I am and have been all my life a criminal. Why? "Was I born too late? Should I have lived in the days of the great adventurers r-Drake and Cortes and all other pillagers and conquerors and heroic thieves who could (''ace their lineage back further than Jason who quested for the Gold i Fleece? "Was I born too early before the days of high finance and the unhero ic thieves of this decade? "Or was it because of sons subtle quirk in my brain, fouvj cerebral formation, some little grouping of the brain cells, that I, who should have been an honest mar., an artist, a poet perhaps, became' a burglar? May it not be that a spicule of hone presses on a convolution of my brain nnd, so doing, jircverts my whole nature? . "I do not know, and I have thought hard and long on the causes. Hut this, although I do not know, is what I am inclined to think: "Real crime is a disease, or rather crime is the symptom of a subtle disease of brain and nerve, just as a rash is in some cases a symutom of fever. All those who are criminals and In this list I place tho ancient conquerors, the gentlemen adventurers, the burglar, the counterfeiter, the swindler, tho priest of high finance, ail of the under world, and all. too, of the upper world who are tinged with the evil all thoBe who are criminals. I say have this disease. 'It may be that the disease that Germinates crimes and criminals springs from a bacillus. There are many reasons for believing it is so. I have seen the criminal taint com municated in the most curious ways hardly credible. I have sesn crim inal phenomena that parallelled the contagion of slow fevers, the stride of milt-k. destructive disease, "Certainly crime is contagious. I have seen honest, law-abiding men turned within a fortnight to crira inals. I have seen others in whom the course of the inoculation was slower. "Is there a subtle bacillus of evil, a cerm of crime, that causes the fer ment of the under world? 1 do not know. Perhaps my brain will tell. I have loft it for the men of science to nonder over, to dissect, to exam lne microscopically. Perhaps they ca:i find the germ of crime. So I, who all my Hfo was the enemy of so ciety, may by my death become its benefactor. "Instead of prisons I would havo sanatoria for tho treatment or crim inal.. I would have tho finest spe- clailsts for tbem. I would have the disease ot crime coped with logically Of course the criminal should be se gregated, but the disease should be recognized. The .treatment of the criminal of torday is parallelled by the treatment of the insane during the Mi He Aces, and, in fact, as short a time ago a9 the eighteenth con tury. Crime is a disease to be cor rected by surgery or by medicine, and some day a judge will come who will be big enough and brave enough to say so and act accordingly. Dunlap, to have his theory proved or disproved, willed his brain to the Wlstar Institute of Anatomy and hlB body to Dr. John Chalmers Da Costa of Jefferson Medical College. The theory first advanced by Dunlap is now the subject of senlous scientific study in both institutions of learniiifc nd great results, beneficial to so ciety, are expected. When discussing his radical de parture ;rom ull precedent and pro cedure Judge Barratt said: "No court would knowingly send a Innatio to the gallows. No court should knowingly send a deficient to prison. "To-day we havo neurologist who can point out with almost unerring accuracy the defects of thoBe subject to their examination. "It is a common practice to call in alienists to advise the court as to the mental condition of persons ac cused ot murder, and I see uo rea son why eucV idvjce should not bs sought In he rases of other offend ers who face long terms in prlcon. "I see no signs of either crime or disease' in boys who break windows, throw snowballs, play hookey when baseballs are ripe, or try high dives as soon as the ice is out of the river, but. I do ceo evidence of both crime and disease in habitus' liars, per sistent thieves, and in all those guilty of offenses. Such offenders should bo kept under restraint In properly equipped hospitals nntll the attending surgeons and neurologists can sdvisn tho courts f.r to whether or not operative surgery or continued ! medical treatment will Rerve any j good purpose. At present our pris ons are not fitted ur for such work, but our StiUe hospitals for the in sane are, and It is my intention to commit hopeful cases to these hos pitals until such time as penologists and legislators find means to provide the necesEary hospital equipment at our estobllBhei penal Institutions." Detroit News Tribune. KAISER'S FAMILY AT PLAY. Unconventional Coins of lmp;r!al Princes When In the Country. The German Emperor and his fam ily spend the'.r summer vacation in the castle ot Wilhelmshohe, near Cns- sel. As described by a writer In Harp er's Bazar, It Is really a vacation. Here is seen the domestic side of the royal picture which appeals so strrnn- ly to the German. The Empress Is not alone the first lady of the land- she is the first mother In the land. i The aristocracy may grumble that ; she neglects her social duties and cul- 1 tivates too closely the famous three j K b recommended hy the Empe.-oi , KIrche. Kinder und Kuche (church, children and coaking) but It is pre cisely because of this that the hulk of the German nation have enshrined her in their hearts. As spring changes to summer and the date set for the Empress's arri val draws near, there toll up t'.:t wooded slopes of Wilhelmscohe vans of gigantic size, depositing furniture, provisions and trunks a, the Schlcss, which opens wide Its windows to the morning sunlight. I In the grounds an army of peasant women In blue cotton gowns and I white handkerchiefs rake and hoe, prune and plant, till the flower beds grow fairly riou.us with blossom. Carriages and vehicles galore r.nd all sorts and conditions of hort?s come ope by one to the stables, and at the entrance to the wooded bridle path, which we regarded as our own special property, a polite notice was posted that it was "for the very most highest personages reserved." Several years ago. when the Crown Prince was still a boy, we used to have glimpses of the mother playing tennis on the lawn with her two eld est sons and a lady in waiting, cr of the whole party sitting round the sup per table on the terrace of a warm summer evening. Indeed, the Princes seemed to be omnipresent, and every one had a different tale to tell 01 them. One morning as the artillery was comirg in frcm its daily Dhnst, the Crown Prince, with his l;?s npart and his hands la his pjefcus, was standing at the entrance to tie barrack?, watching the lor.g tI.i cf guns and horses rile ty. His tutor reproveJ the boy for his attitude, with the remark: "The Crown Fiince never stanis in that position!" "Oh, boiher Crown Princes" came the rejoinder. That this small Hohenzoilern was a chip of the eld block, however, is evi denced by the fiery tnat In his piay with his brother, the handsome Eitel Fritz, the latter in some way displeas ed the elder, who attempted to pum mel him, saying: "I'll teach you who is Crown Prince." On hiB return that evening the Em peror was told of the occurrence, and calling the heir to the throne before him, made him tell his version of tho story. "Quite rig-lit," said the Emperor, when the boy had finished; "and now I shall teach you who is Emperor!" whereupon he administered a severe rebuke to the Crown Prince. The relations between parents and children, however, are cf the tender est; and during the few weeks that the Emperor spends at Wilhelmshohe every moment that he can spare from affairs of state Is devoted to bis fam ily. The Princes, In lhair biuc and white sailor suits, scoured the neighborhood on foot. Any fine morning the four eldest boys could be seen trudging along to the carpenter'B shop, where they amused tbenistives with ham mer and saw, each ono carrying his own tools, and a plank eorue four feet long over his shoulder. Tlu Queen's (iift. There are many stories told of the Queen of Italy's acts of kindness to her poor subjects. Tit-Bits tells the following which shows, however, that not even the' good intentions of queens aro always fulfilled. Her majesty ona day notlcsd n pleasant-faced Utile girl and spoke to her. There was a short conversa tion, and the queen asked the child what she could do In the way of nedlework. "I can knit stockings, tignora," re plied the girl. "Do you know who I am?7 contin ued tho queen. "Yes, elgnora. you are the queen." "Well, then, make me a pair of stockings and Bond them to the pal ace." A few days afterward the articles arrived, and the queen. In return for the gift, sent the child a beautiful pair of silk stockings, one filled with sweets, the other containing money. The next day the queen received a letter from her little friend as fol io ws: "BIgnoro, your gift has caused me many tears. My father took the money, my big brother took the sweets, and as for the stockkigs, why, mother took them for herself."

It was over the wildest coun try that the Sierra Madre affords; up and down paths that, the very dasr would hardly esteem a trail; tho only level ground encountered was the crossing of a deep river. Also, the Journey was done on "pinole," a species of popcorn ground down and mixed with water, and the runner carried his camp equipment, a native woven whlta wool blanket. Modarn Mexico. Why Do Stars Seem Ruycd? An attempt to account for the fi miliar rayed or starliko appearance of the otars when seen by the naked eye is made by W. Holtz in an arti cle on the "Appearance of Stars," which appeared in Gcsell. Wiss. Got Hneen. Nnchr.. Math.-Phys. Klasse. He finds that all stars show precise ' ly tho name rays, but tnat in tue case of the brighter stars the rays aro plainer and somewhat longer. It Is further remarked that tho rays seen by the left and light eyes differ, and that if the head bo turned the rays are rotated In a corresponding manner. It is thus concluded that the source of tho rays is not In the stars but in the eye Itself, the middle retina being not perfectly homogen eous in its sensitiveness. Ingenious Lock.

Compart d with a bird of paradise, the hoopoe is an btnnblc- looking creature in its red sandy plum age, barred with black; lint in its way it is beautiful. It has a large, curved beak, and its bead is adorned by a crest of still feathers. The hoopoe is well known in Asia, is wcjl as in Kuropc. There is a Spanish legend concerning it which has been related by Kingsley. The story goes that once upon a time the ho! birds who run tip and down on tile Pr.nio, at Seville, among the ladies' ff et. had golden crowns on theit heads. One day the birds and beasts all went to pay homage to the Court of King Solomon: among theni, of course, were the hoopoes. When their turn came they made their request, which was that tlie king would pray for them that their crowns might be changed. So King Solomon prayed, and instead of golden crowns they received erowrs of feathers. liver since then, the legend continues, the hoop -es "live as merrily as crickets in an oven, and al-o have the honor of bring the name of his Most Catholic Maie-tv King Solomon." rail Mall Cacttc.
