Lario, of 751 Twentieth Avenue, tick- et seller in the Union Station, Denver, Col., says: “You are at lib- erty to repeat what I first stated through our Denver papers about Doan’s Kidney Pills in the summer of 1899, for I have had no reason in the interim to change my opinion of the rem- edy. I said when first interviewed that if I had a friend and ac- quaintance suffering from backache or kidney trouble I would unhesitat- ingly advise them to take Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. I was subject to severe at- tacks of backache, always aggravated jf I sat long at a desk. It struck me that if Doan’s Kidney Pills performed whalf what they promised they might at least help. This induced me to ‘try the remedy. It absolutely stopped the backache. I have never had a pain or a twinge since.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- mey medicine which cured Mr. Lario will be mailed to any part of the United States on application.

FOR ca te “CONSUMPTION | but no elephant could have BELIEVE IN GHOSTS PEOPLE OF INDIA WITH STRONG SUPERSTITIONS. Surveyor Relates an Incident Which Is Interesting as Showing the Ideas Evolved by a Race of Very Primi- tive People. In the last number of the Journal oi the Straits branch of the Royal Asiat ic Society there appears an interesting article from the pen of Mr. A. D. Ma chado on the supposed evil influence of ghosts. He says. “Some four years ago, when I was engaged in certain prospecting opera- tions in the highlands of Pahang, on the borders of that state with Perak, I had occasion to make a somewhat lengthy stay at a place called Kam- par, on the Tue river, one of the tri- butaries of the Betok, in its turn a tributary of the Jelai, ‘the principal feeder of the Pahang river. I selected this spot because it had already been cleared of large trees and had only recently been in occupation as a Sakai settlement, from the remains of which we reared our unpretentious little camp. The Sakais, however, strongly advised us to go elsewhere, alleging that this place was haunted by elephant ghosts, and that they had been the direct cause of a number of deaths, principally among their child- ren, whose remains lie buried there. “It is necessary to explain that at the back of this place, not fifty yards away, is to be seen one of those pecu- liar muddy pools which animals of; all kinds frequent for their saline prop- erties, this particular one being known as the Kubang Gajah Hantu (the mud pool of the ghostly elephants). These salt lakes are also known as genuts in Malay. When the Sakais refer to this | place it is usually with bated breath | and a mysterious and awesome ges- ture. These men declared that almost nightly elephants are seen and heard breaking twigs and branches and wal- lowing in this mud pool, and yet in the morning not a vestige of their spoor can be seen anywhere. Of this I am certain, the prints of deer and pigs are always plentiful and fresh, been within miles of the place during my residence in that locality. My man- dor’s elderly wife, who always fol- lowed her husband in his journeys, doing the cooking for my followers, declared that the first night we slept there she and all my men heard con- tinued, long drawn wails, like a long wee-e-e-e, which went on without in- termission until almost daylight. This noise, they said, came from those Sakai children buried there. “This account is interesting from j an ethnological standpoint in so far as it illustrates the beliefs and super- stitions of a race of very primitive people. As for the number of children dying at the time, this would only seem natural when it is remembered that an epidemic of measles was then and had been for some time raging.” CHICK SPOKE TOO LATE. Irishman’s Philosophical Comment on Unfortunate Happening. Fudge George Gray of Delaware is a | graduate of Princeton, a member of the class of 59. Talking one day in Wilmington, Judge Gray said: “There used to be a Princeton jani- tor named Jerome McWade, who was as witty and amusing a chap as I have ever met. Whenever you would strike MecWade he would halt you, and for) three or four minutes you would have to listen to some odd yarn or other that he would relate as though it had been a personal experience. “‘T saw a funny Irishman in a tay- ern last night, Mr. Gray,’ he said to me one morning. ‘This Irishman sat by the fire reading a newspaper and | sucking raw eggs that he took, one by one, out of a paper bag. He paid no attention to anybody. He just read and sucked as though he was alone in his room at home. “All of.a sudden he got a bad egg and before he knew what he was do- ing he bolted a little live chicken. The chick chirped as it went down, and the Irishman said philosophically: “<«“By the powers, my friend, ye shpoke too late.”’” The Soul’s Garden. Tf_all our thoughts were turned to words Proclaimed aloud for ail to hear, Methinks we'd seek secluded paths, When on our journeys, far or near. For thoughts are seeds that germtnate To noble er ignoble deeds; Watch then the garden of thy soul That none take root but purest seeds. Then Sheneh thy thoughts be turned to yords, words, When thou dost walk the srowded with firmest tread thou'lt hi: vith firmest trea ou'lt have no fear That thou an enemy shalt meet. —Solrae. A Natural Question. Lieut. Col. Seton Churchill of the British army recently told a good story at the London Missionary so- ciety’s meeting. In the first Boer war, he said, they were holding a religious service in the open and a Kaffir asked what all the noise was about. He was told that they were worshiping God because they wanted to go to heaven, which was a very nice place. The native then inquired: “Why, then, does not England annex heaven?” Most Valuable Ring. Mrs. John Jacob Astor is believed to! awn the costliest ring in America. It was made in Paris and has three farge emeralds surrounded by dia- monds. The entire ring is encrusted with tiny diamonds and the emeralds are declared to be as nearly perfect as any ever seen in Amsterdam. A fawless emerald is the rarest of tems. The ring is valued at $10,000, \y experts, z SAVED BY A DREAM. Timety Supernatural Warning That Was Heeded. Many years ago the wife of the agent of a land owner and mine pro- trietor in the north of England aroused her husband from sleep: and told him she had dreamed that she saw a wooded lane above the river and some men hiding in bushes; she saw him riding along and the men shoot at him from behind and drag aim, dead, into the bushes. The place in her dream she did not know, but it happened to be a desolate spot of country past which he would have to ride on the following day, when re- turning from the mines with his mon- ey. Twice more that night the woman dreamed the same thing again, and to appease her terrors her husband promised that he would chose a dif- ferent route for his ride. The next night a murder was committed in the very spot which the woman had pictured in her vision. The victim was a young surgeon named Stirling, the most popular young man in the neighborhood, but desperately poor. He had nothing in his possession but a watch, and that the murderers took. His pody was found in the bushes which the dreamer had described. The watch was traced to a pawnbroker’s shop at Durham and the men who had pledged it were arrested. Their names may be remembered—Cain and Rain. Tightly clinched in the hand of the murdered man was a button of pink glass, fashioned in imitation of an amethyst. It exactly matched those upon the waistcoat of Cain. But sym- pathizers with the two men heard of this clew and scattered hundreds of similar buttons in the wood where the body was found. The men were ac- quitted, although everybody believed that they were guilty. INVENTOR OF THE SCYTHE. Joseph Jencks Had the Idea Over Two Centuries Ago. In rummaging among old papers a Lynn gentleman has discovered the complete pattern of the American scythe, which was invented two and |a half centuries ago by Joseph Jencks, an ironworker of Saugus, Massachu- setts. The invention of the scythe, says the Boston Herald, is referred to in Lewis and Newhall’s “History of Lynn.” This scythe took the place of the English “bushwhacker” scythe, made of a piece of thin steel, about eighteen inches long and three inches wide. Jencks more than doubled the length of the scythe, reduced its width to one and one-half inches, and stiffened it by welding a square bar ton the back. The patent was, by an enactment of the Massachusetts General Court, as follows: “May 23, 1665. It is ordered that Joseph Jencks, senr., and his assigns, only, shall haue liberte graunted to them to make that engine the said Jencks hath proposed to this Court for the more speedy cutting of grasse, for seven years, and that no inhab- itant or other person within this jur- isdiction during that time shall make lor vse any of that kind of engine | without license first obtained from | the said Joseph Jencks, on the poenal- |ty of five pounds for euery such en- gine so made or vsed, to be recouered at any Court in this jvrisdiction by the said Joseph Jencks, senr., or his assignes.” Popes Rarely Preach Sermons. Preaching is greatly favored by the new pope, and his sermons in St. | Mark’s have been a notable feature ot his work in Venice. But as su- preme pontiff Pius X. is traditionally debarred from occupying the pulpit. In the last four centuries only one sermon has been preached by a pope, and then merely as a stop-gap. It was Pius IX. who thus defied prece- | dent.. On Jan. 18, 1847, Padre Ventura, | an eloquest friar, was to preach at the | Church of Santa Andrea, where a {large congregation assembled. But | the preacher did not appear, and the | people were about to go away dis- | appointed when the belfry bell rang | put and the pope entered the church. To the amazement of all he proceeded |to the pulpit and delivered a sermon was was pronuonced “a simple, plain, | good discourse” In more than 300 | years this is the only papel sermon. | A Song Against Love. | There is a thing in the world that has been since the world began: ‘The hatred of man for woman, the hatred of woman for man. | When shall this thing be ended? When love ends, hatred ends, | Fer love is a chain between foes, and | love is a sword between friends, Shall there never be love without hatred? Not since the world began, Until man teach honor to woman, and wornan teach pity to man. ©, that a man might live his life for a little tide Without this rage in his heart, and with- out this foe at his side! He could eat and sleep, and be merry and forget, he could live well enough, Were it not for this thing that remembers and hates, and that hurts and is love, But peace has not been in the world since love and the world began, For the man remembers the woman, and the woman remembers the man. —Arthur Symons, in the Atheneum. Alaska’s Export Trade. The export trade from Alaska for four months, ended Oct. 31, 1902, ex- ceeded $20,000,000, and was equal to that from Hawaii for ten months, end- ing the same date; was three times that of the Philippines, and more than double that of Porto Rico.

HOUSEKEEPING AS A BUSINESS. One of the “Belated industries,” Says é Jane Addams. Miss Jane Addams has called house- keeping one of the belated industries: Little has been done to systematize and beautify the routine of daily home life, at least in the kitchen. To col- lege women this task belongs, of up- lifting household drudgery into the re- gion of applied science. Cooking can be made fascinating by the introduc- tion of dainty tastes, efficient appli- ances and individual discrimination into the everyday work of preparing food for the household. The same new life can be infused into every branch of housekeeping. The furnish- ing and care of rooms is an art in itself: The stuffy parlors, bedrooms and dining rooms of our grandmothers would not pass muster under the eye of a modern home-maker who under- stands her business. Business? Yes, I used the word. Housekeeping or home-making is an occupation which may be called busi- ness, for it is the main work of mil- lions of women who have no other task or vital interests in life. The trouble is that the mass of women do not rec- ognize this activity as a business, pre- pare themselves for it, and then apply themselves to it with a determination to make it a suecess.—Woman’s Home Companion. WALKED FROM BALTIMORE. Dutch Electrician Spent 71 Cents on the Way to Brooklyn. Herman Mendrick Edewart Osten- drf of Harlem, Holland, asked Palice- man Schilp at the New York end of the Brooklyn bridge last night how to get to Alabama avenue, Brooklyn, where he said his old schoolmate, William Block, lived. Ostendorf said he was an electrician, and that he had walked to New York from Baltimore. | He ‘carried a bag of electrician’s tools, and said that when he left Bal- timore he had only 72 cents, and he proudly produced 1 cent of it. On the way from Baltimore he had slept wherever he could find shelter. He reached this country six weeks ago, having come as an oiler on the steamer Chatois from Rotterdam. Since reaching this country he has learned that his wife is ill in a hos- pital at Rotterdam, and that his twin babies, seven weeks old, have died. Policeman Schilp went among the policemen and collected a dollar for Ostendorf, which he accepted after much persuasion.—New York World. “| Found It So.” McCormick, Ill, Sept. £8.—Miss Ethel Bradshaw of this place has writ- ten a letter which is remarkable for the character of the statements it contains. As her letter will be read with interest, and probably with profit by many women, it has been thought advisable to publish it in part. Among other things Miss Bradshaw says:— “I had Kidney Trouble with the various unpleasant symptoms which always come with that disease, and I have found a cure. I would strongly advise all who may be suffering with any form of Kidney Complaint to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a remedy which I have found to be entirely satisfac- | tory. “This remedy is within the reach of all, and it is all that it is reeommend- ed to be. I found it so, and there- fore feel it my duty to tell others about it.” f Dr. Dunaway ‘of Benton, Ill., uses Dodd’s Kidney Pills in his regular practice, and says they are the best medicine for Kidney Troubles.
