A STRANGE LAKE. 1 I'm iiIIII i 1111 iof a Body of W»t« In AuntraJla. Lake George is situated about four xrrOes from the railway station at Bun bandore, Australia, and has for many years engaged the attention of scien ttQc men by reason of the singular and toerpUcabh" phenomena connected with It The estimates of Its size vary con siderably according to circumstances, tat when moderately full about 20 by 7t mites will be found tolerably correct, ▲t either end the land Is fully 100 feet above the highest recorded surface of the lake, which possesses no known outlet, although it Is fed by numerous mountain creeks. The lake was discovered by a bush man to 1820 and was known to the blacks as the "big water." It was then •Opposed to form the source of a river having Its mouth on the south coast, t>ut subsequent visitors were much perplexed at the manner In which the blacks avoided the lake, of which they appeared to entertain a superstitious dread, one aged aboriginal stating she bad seen it all covered with trees, an other explaining that the whole of the water sunk through the bottom and disappeared, while others remembered the lake only as a series of small ponds. During the following 20 years con siderable variations were noted in the depth and extent of the lake. In 1841 the lake became partially dried up, the moist portions being simply grassy ■wamps. A few months later large numbers of sheep were pastured in the bed of the lake, but fresh water had to be carted for the use of the shepherds, that of the lake being too salt for hu man consumption. The place remained more or less dry until 1852, the year of the great floods in that part of the col ony, when it again became filled, with an average depth of nine feet. Since then the surface level of the lake has varied considerably, but the bed has never been so dry as in former years. There are Indications thak many hun dreds of years ago the lafe covered a far larger area than any yet recorded, remain* of trees over 100 years old be ing found In spots formerly under wa ter. The saline character of the lake is the more remarkable by reason of Its being fed by pure and sparkling fresh water streams. , THE WHIRL OF FASHION. The princess skirt shaped with a corse let top is one of the popular styles of the Mason. Small bishop sleeves, plain in style or laid in horizontal or vertical tucks, are Bore generally used with the new spring aad sumtii«r shirt waists than sleeves of aaj other description. Panne is still a conspicuous fabric in tto shops. Black panne is the least at tractive of the goods, but in pule shadaw of mauve, ciel blue, tea rose, pink, silver and sea K'een it is oharming. The golden tint of chestnut is a beauti ful shade of brown, and for those who can wear it nothing is more becoming, but the dye is very antagonistic if there is a suspicion of pale yellow in the com plexion. Whatever may appear later on, the Bkirts of all new Paris made gowns are ■till absolutely close to the figure, with also the omnipresent flare on the lower portion of the skirt, which may be in circular form or closely gored. For the mild days of spring the fur riers who have warm ne«k things still on sale are doing many of them \*t> with all sorts of dainty eoquilles, jabots, choux aad cascades of lace and chiffon, with decorated muffs en suite, to make them look less heavy.

If this micro scopic animalism could be magnified to a size in proportion to its deadliness it would show like a giant python, or tire breathing dragon. The one fact to re member is that the germ is powerless to harm the body when the blood is pure. It is far easier to keep the germ out than to drive it out after it obtains hold in the system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the most powerful and perfect of the blood purifying med icines. It increases the quantity as well as the quality of the blood, and enables the body to assist disease, or to throw it off if disease has obtained a footing in some weak organ. When ever the di gestion is imparted, the nutrition of the body is diminished, for the blood is made from the food which is eaten, and half digested food cannot supply the body with blood in quantity and quality adequate to its needs. For this con dition there is no remedy equal to 'Golden Medical Discovery.'' It cures ninety eight out every hundred persons who give it a fair trial. When there is constipation Dr. PieJce's Pleasant Pel lets will promptly relieve and perma nently cure. Resolutions Adopted. The following resolutions were adopt ed at the convention of the Woman's Missionary society held in this city: That we give God praise for His good ness and mercy, which He has shown us in the past year, in allowing us the pri vilege of assisting in this branch of His work. That we express our sympathy to those Auxiliaries which have lost faithful workers through death or otherwise; al so to the Danville Auxiliary which has been deprived in this meeting of the presence and help of Mrs. Crewitt, one of its faithful workers. That we have been inspired by the lessons of self sacrifice and devotion taught by our missionaries, Miss IJmber ger and Miss Purdy during their visit home last winter; also grateful for the presence of Mrs. Spencer. That we express our cordial thanks to the trustees of this beautiful church, the pastor for his kindness, the singers and the young people who so delightfully entertained us both evenings. To the press for so faithfully reporting our pro ceedings, also to the janitor for his ser vices and to the people of Danville for opening their homes and giving us such a cordial welcome, and to all who con tributed toward making this conven tion a success. That we have greatly enjoyed the presence and help of Mrs. Strawinski, of Williamsport, for which we extend thanks, also that we arc thankful that the Lord has spared our beloved Dis trict Secretary, Mrs. Purdy through an-, other year. That we are thankful to our Heavenly Father for preserving the lives of our missionaries through the recent hostili ties in China. That we send in the suggestion of a W. F. M. society badge to the branch annual meeting. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OK TOLEUO, F LUCAS COUNTY, I FRANK J. CHENEY makes oath that he Is the senior partner of the firm ot K. J.

Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. matism come troir. ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz-BEMMPtrtggfatj es.

It will be well to order your copy from your newsdealer in advance. The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army has just publish ed statistics of the good work accom plished by it in the United States which, to the general public, will be surprising for few of us see, or seeing, appreciate the work of this great organization. The effect of the army's labors is felt more in the large cities where much charitable work is lost sight of by rea son of the constant misery and enor mous population. In communities like Danville there are perhaps few appeals for assistance. This fact does not de tract one iota from the glowing record of the Salvation Army and it must not be inferred that the latter does not take part in relieving our poor when they are in need, for it does and in times of dire stress its work has been most con spicuous. The latest statistics of the army show that there are 832 corps now in the United States, with twenty-fonr food depots, which have furnished 110,000 monthly meals, and 190 social institu tions for the poor, with a total daily ac commodation in the same of 6,200. The workingmen's hotels number sixty-six and the workingwomen have six, with an aggregate of 6,825 inmates. Five labor bureaus and three farm colonies are established, the latter having 240 laborers. Other minor institutions and slum settlements number about eighty in all. The expenditures on all these institutions in 1900 was $250,000, of which |210,000 was raised by the work or the payments of inmates. Besides this noble work in the way of charity the army has done mnch in elevating the poor and fallen and send ing a raj* of hope and sunshine into the cold and cheerless homes of the poor and afflicted. Many a man and woman has been turned from the road to ruin to that of a better and nobler life. Some Christian churches and societies do not approve the army's plans of campaign, but where'S the difference BO long as the object sought is attained in an honest manner 1f A TRYING POSITION.

An Ble*haut'i Appetite. Bolivar, the big elephant out at the St. Louis zoo, has an appetite that makes even the ostrich envious. Being strictly a vegetarian, his diet is of course limited to hay and grain, with a few vegetables. The small boy who de ludes himself with the belief that he Is affording any gastronomic pleasure to Bolivar by throwing a single peanut into his cavernous mouth would be rather surprised to know that the ele phant regards 150 pounds of food in one day as a rather slim allowance. He would eat 500 pounds If that amount were provided. In fact, he would eat all day and suffer no ill effects. All elephants are gluttons. Those that travel with shows would eat up all the profits were It not for the fact that showmen limit them to aliout 100 pounds of provender a day. This limit ed allowance seems to keep them in good condition, but no elephant ever acknowledged he had enough to eat. Bora. Improve Yoar Chaacei. Many boys neglect chances of mental Improvement. They do not realise what it is to have an education till they get into a company of bbys when some thing comes up for discussion and find that they must sit still instead of tak ing an active part. After an experience of this sort they usually bemoan their fate and say they had no chance to learn. Some boys leave school sooner than they ought to either from choice or compulsion. It is usually the ones who stop from choice that grumble at fate. When a boy stops going to school from choice, the main caase nearly al ways lies In his not being indmrtrtouß or earing what the future has In store for him.—American Boy. A Tiny Violinist. Maurice A. Warner, a 6-year-old boy living in Kansas City, is attracting at tention by playing on the violin. He began taking lessons two year* ago. When not in the presence of hia teach er. the boy plays no better than might be expected of one who had studied '' MHC HI 11 music as long as Maurice has. When his teacher Is with him, however, and looks him in the eye, the boy can play the most difficult pieces. Some people believe that the teacher hypnotises the little pupil and that this is what makes him play so wonderfully at times. Dnrotkr'a 0004 Time. Dorothy's mother was trying to teach ber good manners and told her she must always say when she went away from a place where she bad been In vited that she had had a good time. Recently she was at a party where there were several little boys, and they had a big fuss. The little girl haa a temper of her own, and when her moth er started togo she was ao angry wtth one of the boys that she was crying as hard as she could. "I won't like you— one bit," she said, with a stamp of ber foot, "and I never—never—will come here again." Then, remembering her manners, she sobbed out, "But I've — had -a—perfectly lovely time." Canaela Cnnnot Snln. Camels cannot swim. They are very buoyant, but ill balanced, and their heads go under water. They can, how ever, be taught to swim rivers with the aid of goatskins or jars fastened under their necks. During the Balu chistan expedition in 1808 the camels were lowered Into the sea from the ships and their drivers, plunging over board, clambered onto the backs of their charges, causing the animals' beads to come up, and thus assisted they were successfully piloted ashore.
