says we can each prolong our life
if we learn the secret thereof.
WHAT IS THIS SECRET? If
you soak a sponge in oil,
the sponge will have in it
all the peculiarties of the oil. So
every organ in the body contains
all the peculiarities of the blood.
If the kidneys, the only blood puri-
fiers, do not clean the blood of the
waste of the system, then the var
ious organs will give out and you
will have Rheuna tisna, NAL
aria, headaches, Ague,
Chills and Fe aver, Lmpoten-
cy, Bladder Diseases,
Lame Back, Ne uralgia,
Nervousness, Bad Eyes,
Stomach Troubles, Boi1s,
Carbuncles, AbsceSses,A Al D.
oplexy, Paralysis and in wo-
men Female Troubles. The
secret of good health then lies in
keeping the kidneys aosU. If you don't
you can't cure any of the above
diseases, They may not suspect it,
but eight persons out of every ten
have some form of kidney derange-
ment. The only scientific blood
purifier is the famous Warmers
Safe Cure, which not only cures
kidney diseases, but the majority
Of aaleneats which really come from
unsupported kidney disease.

The Southern Star.

GEORGIA starts out with her Pro-

Prohibition paper, the SOUTHERN

Sam Small. The paper is lively
one, and the price only rs cents a

have got up boycott on it, and it
is said have raised $4,000 to

A Powerful Cannon Magnet.

A most interesting electrical expert
ment has recently been made at the
engineering station of the United
States army at Willelt's Point. l.. L.,
by Maj w. Il. King, of the Engineer
Corps. By which he transformed two
titteen-inch Rodman guns. weighing
so, pounds each, into an immense
electro magnet. The guns were placed
side by side. and 10 ned at the breech
by number of pieces of railroad iron.
The guns were then wrapped separ ate
|, by fine insulated copper wire. over
eight miles of 1t being used. The wire
used was an. old torpedo cable consist
ing of forty small insulated wires
bound together into cable OF about
three-eighths of AN inch in diameter.
The electricity was obtained from q
twenty-arc light Weston dynamo.
A number of experiments were made
with this most powerful magnet and il
was found that a force of 20, 600
pounds was necessary TO overcome the
magnets attraction and draw the
armature from it. A string of four
fifteen inch shells, weighing 500
pounds each. was suspended from one
of the guns. 1t was discovered in the
course of the experiments that there
was n pc mt in the bore of tho guns,
and seven and one-half inches from
the muzzle. where the magnet repealed
instead of attract ng Small pieces oil
iron were propelled from it with force.
while shell placed ut that point was
rolled slowly out OF the gun until il
dropped from the muzzle aud was
caught by the attracting force at the
face of the gun.
1t is thought that the power of the
magnet would have been greatly in.
creased If more wire had been used in
the. wrapping and IL more railroad iron
had been used in connecting the gun

This was the scene that the gas
lighted up the anniversary day of their

her es had been glued on the spec
ticle while she was powerless and
dumb Probably she had seen him
recover his senses. and, real zing what
he had done, take his own life and
spare hers. Then with not soul to
comfort her. she stood there hour afte r
hour with her dead. Do you wonder
that the horror of it is branded OH her
face?
From that dav to this she has not
spoken to anyone. Whether she
hears. or thinks, or understands. can
not be so d. She submits passively to
her attendant, following where she is
her lips. There is one time when she

ant called me. and we stood outside
her door. l never herd anything like
il, and hope 1 never will again. The
lips that had been closed on that
awful night were opened. The plead
ings, the entreaties, the anguish. the
wild despair of her utterance would
have moved heart of stone. Sud-
denly there was wild scream OF con-
centrated awe and horror, and all was
still. We rushed III, expecting to find
her features relaxed. and, perhaps, her
pillow tear-stained. But no; there she
lay. quiet and still. with set and rigid
horror i'm her face.
Such is the history of our strangest
patient"
AS the reporter and superintendent
left the office female attendant pass
ed with the unfortunate woman. She
walked with the slow hesitating step
of the blind. her gaze fixed on some
thing in front of her. And her face
wore that awful expression it will wear
until death molders 1t away. She was
soon out of sight, but the memory of
that pallid mask OF horror will remain
,ndelibly stamped on our mind until
the end of time.

Cost of Getting the News

Eugene NJ. Camp. who has collected
the statistics on thls point. says. through
the Amertcl1. that the entire cost of
all news in the papers ia tn country
is $50. Cos. OJO per ear Tn,s is curl
ously divided. The special bureaus.
which are principally located in New
York, with the right To look over the
proofs every night OF some Of the
mornineejournals, cost S345, 900. This
is divided among one hundred of the
leading provincial papers. The bus =
ness OF the Associated Press now
amounts to 81, 250. 900 yearly. and that
of the United Press loots up to $i50,.
600. These two sums, with the special
outlay for telegraph tolls outside of
the organizations, place the total to
all the papers OF 81. 80, 600 for this de-
partment. In addition TO this there
are to be reckoncd the special services
Of professional correspondents in ada.
cent towns aud important centers,
whose salaries aggregate 81 OOO.OOO be-
sides. This makes the total cost of all
the service about 81 $50 900 per an
mum. In the larger cities OF the Union
it costs all the way from $500 To 81 =
200 week for the working up OF local
districts Mr.. Camp reck ons this year
ly expense mt about SO, 600, QUO This
is II correct anal sis OF the expense IN
collecting news and the proport on in
win ,ch one branch of the service is re-.
lated TO the other. There are three
lines on which this work proceeds
the gathering of news by the local re-
porter, the news of the telegraph and
the spec al correspondent. Each
method is closel, related TO the other.
The statement shows that there has
been great development of journal
ism in the matter of news. Every eff
fort is made to get the news and one
combination only paves The way for
another in order TO keep the lead in
this department OF a newspaper. The
greater the combination. the greater
the result, and the paper that has the
news is the one that the public is most
willing TO pay for. Boston Herald.
