HAD TO GIVE UP, Suffered Agonies from Kidney Disor ders Until Cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills. George W. Renoff, of 1953 North 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa., a man of good reputaticn and standing, writes: “Five years ago I was suffering so with my back and kid- neys that I often had to lay off. The kidney secre- tions were unnat- j ural, my legs and stomach were sa=a—) swollen, and I hhad no appetite. When doctors failed to help me I began using Doan’'s Kid- ney Pills and improved-until my back Was strong and my appetite returned. i the four years since I stopped = them I have eajoyed excellent health. The cure was permanent.” (Signed) GEORGE W. RENOFF. A TRIAL FREE—Address Foster- Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. Price, 50 cts. WHY JAPS FIGHT WELL. Servants Do the Drudgery and the Men Rest. “One reason why my countrymen fight so well,” said a Japanese in New York, “is that they are not hampered with baggage as the Russians and oth- er soldiers are, The Japanese soldier is a fighting man, pure and simple. Such details as cooking and preparing amp are left to servants and on the March most of the baggage is carried in wagons, where the servants, not the soldiers, place it. There is a great deal of difference between carrying fifty or sixty pounds all day long on a march and then having to turn to and prepare camp, cook supper and clear away While the soldiers of other armies are doing this, my countrymen are resting. They don’t even police the camp, not to speak of trenching tents, building fires, hauling fuel, cook- ing and doing the many other things that are necessary in a military camp.”—New York Sun.

Speaking one day of Club sociabil- ity, Mr. Mayer, the cartoonist, told of a club to which he was invited while in Berlin. The club was composed of elderly Germans, who met in a back room to drink beer and smoke. At in- tervals one of the clubmen would re- move his pipe from his mouth, nod his head sagely and remark ,“Yah.”. After a little pause another of the smokers would say, “Yah.” That was the ex- tent of their conversation. “One night,” said Mr. Mayer, “one of the members brought his son to the club. After several of the older ones had spoken, as usual, the youngster spoke up. He said. “Yah, yah.” “They expelled him at once,” con- cluded Mr. Mayer, “for talking too much.’—Philadelphia Public Ledger. y hicago. send Home uu wboUL your eyes The man who is afraid his employer will not give him credit usually does not get much, Cupid is an excellent shot, but he bags some mighty poor game.

Geo. W. Williams in a communica- tion to the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, says: Strawberries require a higher, dryer location than the blackberry. They will not live on wet land. While there can be no iron clad rules to cultivate strawberries by, there are a few gen- eral rules that will hold good in near- ly all soils. The preparation of the field should begin in the fall before setting in the spring. Never set straw- berry plants in tne fall. If the land is not well drained, it can be aided very much by a system of subsoiling, breaking with an ordinary two horse turning plow, following each furrow with another team hitched to a slim. strong “bull tongue,” running the “bull tongue” in the bottom of the furrow, which breaks up the soil very deep but does not throw it out on top. This manner of breaking has a two-fold ob- ject, one is it forms en under drain- age that carries off the surplus water, the other, it forms a reservoir that holds moisture and furnishes the plants with “drinking: water” during a drouth. When ground is plowed, cover with barnyard manure, putting on from ten to twenty tons per acre. Next spring at the proper time to set plants, which is when the earliest blooms have opened, disc or cultivate the ground over until it is thoroughly pulverized. Mark off the rows north and south four feet apart—a light wheelbarrow makes a good marker. In setting, follow the track made by the wheel, as a guide is all that is needed. Set plants from eighteen to twenty- four inches apart, setting with a nar- row spade. In selecting plants, they should be taken from beds that have never borne fruit, that is from beds set the spring before. By following this plan year after year, and the prop- er selection of plants, the strawberry can be improved. No Overproduction of Fruit. Some fear an over-production of fruit; I do not. I have heard the warning cry from timorous souls for forty years that we were sure to have an ovef-production of fruit!) What is the actual condition? What are the facts as to an over-supply of fruit? ‘What about the increased population of the country as compared with the increasing supply of fruit? .In the time that it has taken the population of the United States to double, ber fruit supply has increased five-fold. In the face of this, we would naturaily expect fruit to decline in price. Has it? No indeed; but on the other hand it has gone up and up in price, till it is now beyond the reach of the com- mon people and only the rich may in- dulge in the use of ordinary fruit. At the present time one bushel of good apples is worth two bushels of wheat or corn! We know of apple orchards this past season that sold for two hundred dollars per acre, peach or- chards that sold for as much and in some places more, and_ strawberry beds that sold for from one to three hundred dollars per acre! In the face of all this, with our millions of acres of superior fruit lands that can be bought at from five to fifty dollars rer acre, with a splendid home market and an ever and rapidly increasing foreign demand for all our fruit, shall we continue to let the masses go hun- gry for fruit and the tables of the rich be supplied with inferior fruits from distant states at extortionary prices?—N. F. Murray. Soaps as Insecticides. A report of the United States De- partment of Agriculture says: Any good soap is effective in destroying soft-bodied insects, such as plant-lice and young or soft-bodied larvae. As winter washes in very strong solution, they furnish one of the safest and most effective means against scale in- sects. The soaps made of fish oil and sold under the name of whale oil soaps are often especially valuable, but variable in composition and mer- its. A soap made with caustic potesh rather than with caustic soda, as is commonly the case, and not contafning more than 30 per cent of water, should be demanded, the potash soap yielding a liquid in dilution more read- ily sprayed and more effective against insects. The soda soap washes are apt to be gelatinous when cold, and difficult or impossible to spray except when kept at a very high temperature. For plant-lice and delicate larvae, such as the pear slug, a strength ob- tained by dissolving half a pound of soap in a gallon of water is sufficient. Soft soap will answer as well as hard, but at least double quantity should be taken. Good milk costs a good deal more than unclean milk, as it requires ad- ditional amounts of labor. Also some stables are so badly arranged and constructed that they make it im- possible to produce good milk in them without an outlay for alterations. But the good milk is worth more than the poor milk to any consumer. Lice are great destroyers of young turkeys. It is difficult to find them ~ for > Scandinavians UNION SAID TO BE THREATENED. Although there is nothing on the sur- face to indicate that Norway and Swe- den are having any trouble, several writers pretend that they see danger- ous pitfalls ahead of the union. Among these is Axel Lille, a Finnish journal- ist, who seems to have further in- spired a correspondent of the Brook- lyn Eagle, who says: “There is unrest in both countries. There are those who proclaim openly that the separation is coming. They say that it is only the fear of the @readed Muscovite invasion that has kept it back so long, but even this, they add, cannot prevent its coming. “The dominant feeling in Scandina- via was well illustrated when that country recently declared neutrality in the war in the far East, and expressed the desire that there would be a per- petual guarantee of this neutrality by the other countries of Europe. From time td tim@ there has been a notice- able tendency on the part of Norway and Sweden to branch off into inde- pendent lines and form new interests that are not in union, Thus, what is known aé the new Norse movement, a literary movement, or, perhaps, it should be called a reform, has been instituted in Norway and has become very popular with the people. It pro- vides for a revival of the old language of the vikings into new Norse, an orig- inal dialect free entirely from the mod- ern corruptions from the Danish tongue. ‘ “Another serious point: of dispute— although ‘an old one—is the boundary question. Each country claims that the other has encroached upon her ter- ritorial rights. Still another question that is being at present more serious- ly discussed by the two countries than any other is the demand for separate ambassadors and consuls. Norway is foremost in this demand and her statesmen have vigorously urged the adoption of a measure in the storthing bringing it about. Some of them have, gone so far as to say that, unless the: are granted this demand, Norway will secede from the union and become 2} separate kingdom. ’ As to the right—~ that is, the constitutional right—ofi Norway to demand foreign representa4 tion there is great difference of opin4 jon. This question has been thorough{ ly discussed by Axel Lille, a well-in- formed Finnish writer. In comment! ing on the Swedish-Norwegian treaty, Mr. Lille says: A “although Norway did not resign! her sovereignty in joining the union: with Sweden, the latter has alwayq had the advantage in that her foreign, minister shall advise the king in for. eign affairs. This was distinctly agreed upon at the convention. It is now objected that in the Seka of both countries foreign matters are, handled only by the Swedish minister; of ‘foreign affairs, and that the king has been relegated to the background, “Mm 1890, when the disadvantage of! an arrangement whereby a Swede ha absolute control of-foreign affairs b gan to be felt, the objectionable claus was changed. so that it read: “Th office of minister of foreign affairs may: pe filled by either a Norwegian or a Swede.” ’ “The movement on the part of the Norwegians for having their own am- bassadors and consuls became so in-: sistent that King Oscar appointed a committee composed of Swedes and Norwegians to consider the consular question alone, deeming it advisable to separate it from the question of for- eign ministers- This commission quick- ly decided that each country should have its own separate consuls subject to the government of each country. This, however, did not satisfy the Nor- wegians, who insisted that they should have consuls under the direct control and responsible only to their own Norwegian minister of foreign affairs. So this is the situation as it.stands to- day, no advance having been made one way or the vther. And in the mean- time Norway ie filled with complaints and the people are dissatisfied and un- easy.” TYPICAL SWEDEN. In order to know the Swedish fam- fly well one must live some time ir one of those great domains called the “gard,” which are found in the heart of Sweden, and in which so many an- cient customs are still preserved. The extent of these domains is wide, in some cases between 17,000 and 20,000 acres, although the attual cost of the property is not very great. The pro- prietor of these estates must .odge his farmers and maintain all buildings, and he is also responsible for all of the roads which traverse his land. There is also a very great moral re- sponsibility, the proprietor being the: spiritual father as well as the master of all these people, who,in many in- stances number 500 persons. A Finnish Patriot.

A report of a sensational holdup’ in the Yellowstone National Park has reached Livingston, Mont. A couple of young ladies, one of them from New York and the other a Helena girl, fig- ured as bandits. The whole affair was a hoax, but this fact was not known to the occupants of the stage, who were relieved of their cash and other val- wables. The young ladies were camp- ing in the park with a party of friends and arranged with the driver of the stage to hold up him and his passen- gers at a lonely place. The sham ban- dits attired themselves in regular out- law costumes and rode to the place agreed upon. When the stage arrived, at the point of rifles the driver was commanded to stop and the passen- gers, many of whom were men, were ordered to line up at the roadside. They did as commanded, and while one of the “bandits” covered them with a rifle, the other went through their pockets, securing all the avail- able cash and jewelry. When the bandits had secured everything valu- ables in sight, they pulled off their false whiskers and other disguises and gave the crowd the laugh. The valu- ables were returned—San Francisco Examiner. Huge Rock-Biting Dredge. ‘The Susquehana Iron company’s dredge is the largest of its kind on ‘earth. Its work is laid out near Buf- falo. This dredge looks like a giant mud dredge, and is built on the same principle as an ordinary horse-power steam engine. Its anchor or spuds are made of great Oregon fir fifty- three feet long and forty-four inches through. It has a dipper or dredge with a capacity of seven cubic yards. One man with a dozen levers before him operates the whole machine, The dredge of the dipper is armed with steel teeth about fifteen inches long and six inches thick. The man at the levers drops the great dipper, with its massive handle, down fifteen feet te the rock bot- tom. Then he moves another lever, and the big engine down in the hold: gets under way. The great steel cable attached to the dipper quivers under the strain. There is a sound of ripping and tearing and grinding, as if the earth was being turned in- side out, and up comes the dipper, with its enormous maw choked with huge masses of splintered rock. It has ripped up seven cubic yards and when it has een swung over to the rock scow its mighty under jaw drops, and out tumble bowlders weighing tons. The teeth of that dip- per bite seven cubie yards of rock a minute. READS TO OLD LADIES. New Business Being Established in New York.
