last, has been discovered at Constanti-
nople the secret of perpetual motion.
Two respectable tradesmen write from
that city: "We are clockmakegs by
trade, and have just invented an auto
matte mechanism of a force of forty
pounds which will work continuously
in whatever position it may be, and
without being moved either by spring,
or by steam, or by electricity, or by any
motor power whatever that could im-
part an impulse to it. It is, in fact, per-
petual motion, pronounced undiscover-
able until this day."

How Husband Was Convinced of His
Condition the Previous Night
The Rev. Thomas Murphy, temper
ance orator, related the following story
at a prohibition meeting in Worcester,
Mass, recently:
A man once came home at two or
three O clock in the morning, and his
wife. who was waiting for him and
ready to jump on him, finally induced
him to say that he would sign the
pledge The man meant to keep his
word, but he went into saloon to see
a man and when he went home at
night he stopped at the gate and took
ont his night key, thinking he was at
the door. His wife saw him and took
him in the house and tried to get him
to 90 to bed. but he had what you
might call an oratorical jag" and she
had hard time overit. But finally he
went to bed and to sleep. When he
woke up in the morning he did not
recollect anything about the jag" OF
the night before. He put on a bold
front and went downstairs. His wife
met him as he came down, and said to
him eproachfully:
"You promised not to drink any
more"
"And 1 am happy to inform you that
| have kept my promise" said the man
with unblushing effrontery.
George, said his wife, you were
very drunk, for you tried to open the
gate with your latchlSey."

"And as you came into the parlor

This is not true.
"And fly was on the wall, the last
fly of the fall, and you said, pointing
to it, Il guess will hang my coat and

You must have been dreaming"
"Not at all, for here is a $50 gold
piece you gave me yourself to buy a
new bonnet with. "

place. When within fifty yards of the
fighting quadrupeds the hare we sup
posed was dead or dying leaped to his
feet and fought more viciously than
ever. The contest did not continue
much longer, as the hare which had
challenged its opponent fell back as if
hit with leaden pellets and lay appar-
emily dead on the field of battle After
driving the successful competitor away
and picking up the PROSTATE animal
we found that both of its eyes were
completely destroyed and its face hor-
ribly lacerated. We easily captured
the 'conquering hero and had the two
little pugilists cared for as we'll as cir
cumstances would permit, but they
were too severely punished to survive
their wounds, and that evening the
proprietor of the park found himself
minus two of his imported flyers
they had kicked the bucket"
The sportsman further states that
when forwarding hares to this city
from where they are shipped the trap
per must provide coops arranged in
such a way that the rabbits are sep
arated from each other by compart-
ments, otherwise they would fight I'M

People do not realize the remarkable
prevalency of kidney disease Thousands
die yearly from some form of it! While it
is not dangerous at first, the disease pro-
crosses quickly and is soon in the ad-
vanced or chronic stage, which is not only
serious, but in large percentage of cases,
unless proper medicine is used, fatal Kid
ney trouble seldom progresses without also
affecting the liver and producing some sort
OF an irritation Of the bladder.
Mr. John f. Jones, of Frederickstown,
Ohio, is well known citizen of that place,
who by his strict honesty and integrity has
attached to him host of friends, and these
friends vouch for the truth of what he says
in his letter to Dr. Kilmer a. Co., Bingham
ton, n. Y, dated January 10th, and which
reads as follows:
'For twenty years off and on had been
troubled with my kidneys, but as they would

Lot of Fur in the Air.
A battle to finish between two rab-
bits was lately witnessed by at least a
dozen leashmen, all of whom state that
they had never witnessed more novel
or interesting contest between man or
beast.
Caravan received from Trapper
Browning, of MERGED, two consign-
ments of Jacks" a few weeks ago that
for some reason became very unfriend-
ly; owing possibly to the fact of hav-
ing been caught in different localities,
they represented different tribes of the
genus Lepus. However, the hares,
properly called, became very belliger-
ent, and battles royal were almost of
daily occurrence in the park. At last
the patrons of the leash were afforded
a splendid opportunity of seeing con-
test to a finish between two of the new
arrivals, and a descriptive account of
"the war was given to a reporter:
I'VE were chatting over the pros
poets of next days coursing and COM
menting on the weather." said the
speaker, 'when a jack was seen cross
ing the field in the direction of the es-
cape with another jack in hot pur-
suit. At first [ thought some stray
dog had got into the field at the
south end and was driving the hares
toward the breeding paddock Sud-
denly hare No. turned in its track
and dashed at its pursuer. They tele-
scoped, so to speak, and then the fight
was on. You should have been there
to see the fur fly. There was no fake
about this match; it was for blood and
fur.
The rabbits rolled in the mud after
the first charge, and as they regained
their pins they rose quickly on their
hind feet and slashed at each other
with their front paws in manner that
would have made champions of the
prize ring feel as if they were as slow
as snail in their movements. l posi-
lively never saw such fierce fighting.

to fly in punches, and the blows, if

THE ARlSTCCRATlC ORCHID.



Fifty years ago these plants were
hardly known except to students of
botany. and now the species in cul-
tivation number something like two
thousand, with countless varieties and
sub-varieties, while collectors are eX-
ploring every accessible jungle and
forest of the tropics for novelties, and
under the hands of expert hybridizers
new forms are appearing with rapid
ity which battles every attempt to keep
a record of them. Admiration for them
has become the fashion, and their cut
tivation has become a passion Some
of them are still rare and costly as dia-
monds; others, which were once quite
as precious, are now displayed in every
florists window. The literature of
cultivated orchids would already make
a large library, and there are journals
in several languages devoted to them
exclusively, most OF them illustrated
with pictures drawn and colored with
consummate skill. Millions of dollars
are invested in them, and the money
value of single private collection in
this country is at least quarter OF a
million dollars while the plants in
one commercial establishment are
worth still more. OF course the prices
which individual specimens command
bear no relation to their beauty when
judged by the ordinary canons q istes
and plant which brings a THOUSAND
dollars at auction may differ SO slight
ly from varieties that are sold by the
dozen for the production of market
flowers that only the trained eve OF
the connoisseur can detect the pecu-
liarities of habit and form, or can
appreciate the purity Of color, or the
richness of marking, which makes il
unique or rare. AS with other objects
priced by collectors, the value of such
plant is enhanced by the comforting
assurance that no one else, or at least
only a few of the elect, can share will
its owner the joy of possession. Serb

his face grew white with wrath. He

head could rest upon her breast, there

When Jessie had fallen into the

hood, Molly laid her gently upon her
bed, and, opening the door into the L,
ran quickly up the back stairs into the
attic. From the crossbeams overhead
hung great braided punches of sweet
corn, kept for seed. The air was redo
lent of pennyroyal, mint and sweet
fern. Molly crossed the large, unfin-
ished room and stopped before pile of
ax-helves. They were of seasoned
hickory and showed careful workman

some of the stormy winter days, in
tending to sell them at his leisure. He
had shown not little pride in the sue
cess of his work, and had exhibited
them many times to admiring friends.

this lesson wouldn't have been needed
Maybe, though, this strain Of selfish
ness is something he takes from some
old ancestor, and such traits are slow
in coming to the surface sometimes.
But, there! I've no time to climb

picked up the other ax-helves, and
ran downstairs and, out to the wood
pile. No Dick in sight and time to be-
gin getting dinner. Far off in the
woods she could hear the sound of his
gun. One ax-helve after another was
laid across the sawhorse and deity
sawed into lengths suitable for the

acting teacher.
When Dick and Abner, the hired
man, came into dinner they found it

and said, as he pushed back his chair:

after Molly heard him climbing the
