C. Scott, meat dealer, Vergennes, Vt, Past Commander of Ethan Allen Post, G. A. R, says: “A severe attack of typhoid left me with weak Kidneys. Every night 1 had to get up frequently to pass the urine, which was ropy, dark and very painful to vold. 1 had no appetite, but drank water contin. ually without being able to quench my thirst, Terrible headaches and dizzy spells oppressed me and my back was lame, sore and gtif. A month's treatment with Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of this trouble, and now I am strong and healthy and weigh 230 pounds.

The ideal Woman. 1 have watched the ideal woman in many places, at home and in society, with the result that I have come to the conclusion that she is the one of our sex whom men most persistently avoid. They are quite civil to her when she is thrown in their way; they will even admire openly her de- meanor or the way she keeps house or nurses her invalid mother, but they do not seek her out, and they do not marry her.—A Spinster in The Truth About Men. : BABY'S TORTURING HUMOR. Ears Looked as If They Would Drop Off Face Mass of Sores—Cured by Cuti- } cura in Two Weeks For 75c¢. “I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recom- mended, but without results. I called in three doctors. They all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one’s face and body were as clear as a new-born babe’s. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 201 Coburn St., Akron, Ohio.” Mormons Exploring Mexico. The Mormon parties, numbering more than 100 in number, have been almost literally “in the woods” of the southern portions of the republic for from a week to nearly a month. They came from all portions of the Northwest, a party of two from the neighborhood of Salt Lake City, a party from Central Idaho, two part- ies from points in Oregon and several small parties from other points. Many of those who make up the personnel of the number now exploring Mexico are not of the very wealthy class. In fact, the greatest number are from the farming classes, who have made a success where they have been and are now looking for ‘new worlds to conquer.” From the reports of those who have returned it is very probable that thousands of acres of land will be bought by’ these people for settlers. And nearly all of this will be in the wild country, away from the present cultivated dis s.—Mexican Herald. Anatomy of Caterpillar. The thoughtless person who care- lessly crushes the life out of a cater- pillar would probably be much amaz- ed if told that he had crushed an or- ganization that was made up of parts as numerous and quite as interesting and instructive as those of the ele- phant. And a careful study the anat- omy of this minute and much despised animal has disclcsed so many singu- lar and interesting parts as to war- rant a quarto volume on the subject. Four thousand and forty muscles have been discovered in the caterpillar, and not only discovered but accurate- ly described. Al of which goes to show that, though trite, 'tis true that to the Creator the smallest insect is as important as the largest verte- brate.—New York Herald. FOOD HELPS In Management of a RB. R, Speaking of food a railroad man Bays: “My work puts we out in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular hours for meals and compelled to eat all kinds of food. “For 7 years I was constantly trou- bled with indigestion, caused by eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly cooked food, such as are most accessi- bie to men in my business. Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensa- tions in my stomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to dis- charge my duties properly. “his lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev- ery meal and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our ca- booses and I find Grape-Nuts, mighty handy for it is ready cooked. “ro make a long story short, Grape- Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of in- digestion. I can digest anything so Jong as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineer's watch, and my old nervous troubles have disappeared entirely.” Name given by I’ostum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. SEARCHING FOR HEROES, Fallure of a Scheme to Award the Doers of Noteworthy Deeds, So far the hunt for heroes eligible to receive the benefits of a great fund established by a wealthy American has proved very disappointing, Instead of being put te It to make income meet sutgo, the trustees find it impossible to scare up enough true blue, simon pure, dyed in the wool heroes to make an appreciable hole in their funds, Many promising leads are followed, many newspaper heroes and heroines are chased to earth, but few indeed are those who meet the standard es- tablished by the regulations of the fund, One or two a year out of the great population in which the hunters seek those whom they may glorify! The majority of applicants turn out unworthy. This result of the effort to tematize and concentrate the hero glo- rifying business is not surprising. When the fund was established two years ago it was recognized that it would attract many impostors, and that the men and women whom its donor was anxious to reward would be the last to push themselves to the front. The medal craving, self-adver- tising “hero” is likely to show a shady record when his deeds are fully ex- plained. The man or woman who ac- complishes a really heroic act is not of the stuff that rewards from trustees of funds, or seeks recompense or recognition from any public or semi- public source. Rather, the persons sought for by the agents of this Pitts- burg institution ave of the that shrink from publicity. depre » their own deeds and want them forgotiein. The fact that no new awards were made at the second annual meeting of the Hero Fund Commission does not mean that no heroic leads have heen performed recently in the territory it covers. Like mean acts. heroic persist in about the sual proportion. regardless of funds, meduls, uts of money or the like. Nor shouid it be argued that the hero fund has failed entirely of its purpose. It provides pleasant jobs at fair pay fo a number of persons in various capacities, and thus does good.—New York Sun. sys asks acis WORDS OF WISDOM. Citizenship simply means service. The supercilious are simply super silly. The immovable hearts move the world. If you cannot serve your employer, fire him. The empty faith is usuaily made of sounding brass. No victory is so well worth fighting for as the victory over self. He is blessed with fortune who has learned to bear misfortune, A man who is honest {or policy will be dishonest for promotion. The losses of truth are more profita- ble than the gains of trickery. Women Careless in Shoes. “The number of women who wear handsome dresses, expensive stockings and ugly shoes is astonishing,” vol- unteered an observant man who had been noticing what was worthy of no tice near the Flatiron building. “Most of them seem to think they are fixed if they get a handsome suit and hat No man who considers himself well dressed would dream of going out with unblacked shoes, but some of the daintiest looking women otherwise will be shabby or careless as to shoes.” His companion observed closely for several moments. It was only too true. Women with stunning hats, mar- celled bair and velvet suits had evi dently spent it all before they thought of shoes, or else they didn’t care. Shoes of dull and unpolished kid, with heels that nedeed building up, appeared un- der a velvet snit in strange contrast with the other finery. iea and even clumsy ifskin shoes we silken ‘ts, and the broad toe and heavy sole were often seen alighting from a carriage “It is just another of those exasper- ating contradictions and inconsistencies to be found in the New York woman's dress,” said the man who had studied the subject, “and that is what makes the Parisian still the daintiest of dress- ers—becanuse she attends first to the details of her {toilette and has them complete and perfect.”—New Yoik Press. 'e worn with Black Hair Close to Red, The color of the hair, says the Grand Magazine, is usually transmitted from parents to child. This is especially true when both parents have the same complexion. Instances, however, are not unknown where children have hair black as ebony, while the hair of both parents is a burning red. Instead of disproving the theory that a child takes after its parents so far as the color of the hair is concerned, this fact, it has now been ascertained, is all in favor of the doctrine. Red hair, in fact, is by its structure and composi. tion much nearer to black hair than to blond. Very often, if the hair of a very dark complexioned person be examined at- tentively, a few quite red hairs will be detected in the mass. On the other hand, it would be time wasted to seek for black hair in the locks of a fair person. Similarly it is not infrequent to notice children whose hair, red at birth, becomes as they grow older quite dark. Wien, too, after some serious illness, the prod tion of the coloring pigment of the ! falls off, black hair becomes not blond, but red. I air hair, which to a casual eye appears to have much more af- finity to red hair than to black, is, on the contrary, quite distinct.

Alrship travel seems to be already popular, WW. de Fonvielle estimates that seven or eight hundred balloon voyages are now made annually, and states that the members of the French Aero Club alone made more than two hundred last year. The forms and colors of the clouds, the brightness, and the new views of the carth give a won- derful charm to sky automobiling. Julius Rosenberg considers ultro-vio- let rays remedial agents of the greatest value, especially for the relief of pain, says the Baltimore Sun, He employs a thirty-five-ampere are, with mirror reflectors, and attaches importance to the use of iron-carbide electrodes. Ie concludes that the ultra-violet rays ob- tained in this way are a specific rem- edy in acute muscular pain, such as lumbago. — Professor W. E. Ayrton points out that the common expression “buying electricity” and “consuming electric current” are misleading. No electricity is used up in lighting buildings, driv- ing machinery, and propelling ears and trains, “Just as much electricity flows away per minute, through the return conductor, from your electrically light- ed house as flows to it through the coming conductor. The pomelo, sometimes called the Chinese breadfruit, a citrus-fruit which may be described as a cross between the orange and the grapefruit, combin- ing the good points of both, is the subject of an interesting report by Mr. Anderson, the United States Consul at Haungchow. Mr. Anderson regards it as the finest fruit grown in the Far East. He believes that it might be in- troduced with profit into the Southern United States. The gigantic animals of the so-called age of reptiles, whose remains are es- pecially abundant in some of the lands bordering the Rocky Mountains, ap- peal so powerfully to the imagination that an exaggerated notion of their size and weight is frequently enter- tained. It has more than once been pointed out that, as far as paleontology shows, the earth never contained more buiky creatures than the whales of to-day.

Year by year records are published of the destruction of human and cat- tle life by the wild beast and snakes of British India. last year 24,576 human beings and 96,226 cattle were killed, and of the people, 21,827 deaths were atiributed to snakes, while of the cattle, &6,000 were killed by wild beasts, panthers being charged with 40,000 and tigers with 30,000 of this total; snakes accounted for 16,000. And this is but a trifling percentage of the actual annual mortality, as it ex- cludes the feudatory States, with their 700,000 square miles and 60,000,000 in- habitants, where no records are obtain: able. Nor do the fatalities grow ma- terially less, notwithstanding the ef- forts of sportsmen and rewards by Government, because the developmen? of railways and roads, as the jungle is reclaimed for agriculture, means con- tinuous invasion of the snake and tiger- infested territory.—Caspar Whitney, in “The Trail of the Tiger,” in Outing, Cheering Him Up. “Ye-es,” Mr. Billings reluct- antly, in reply to his friend's remark that Mrs, Joyce was “an awfolly sweet little woman.” “Sg cheerful!
