TORS TO DIE.
Miraculous Salvation When Hopeless
With Heart Disease and Rheuma-
tism-An Instance of the Value of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 1.-THE
health-wave has struck Duluth.
Many people here who have suffered
from Kidney Diseases night and day
constantly for years have been re-
stored to health and relieved from
pain.
Cures of Rheumatism, Diabetes,
Bright's Disease, Lumbago, Stone in
the Bladder, Bladder Weakness,
Female Complaints and Heart Dis
case consequent upon disJrdered
condition of the Kidneys have been
cured by the use of DODD'S KID
NEY PILLS.
Better medicines may have been
discovered, but no better has ever
reached this city. and certainly none
has done anywhere near so much
good.
Now take the case of Patrick WEIGH,
man of advanced age, who suffered
for FIVE years. He has been cured and
that too after doctors gave him up.
If such severe and protracted cases
can be cured, how much more likely
is it that these Kidney Pills would
relieve younger and stronger persons
of higher vitality.
DODDS MEDICINE co.
Gentlemen: have been trCubl-
ed with rheumatism and Heart
Disease for three years. l have
tried several remedies but OF no
use. l have boughthtwo boxes of
your DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS,
and otter taking them am cured.
I had been told by my doctors
that 1 neveTcould be cured, but
they evidently did not know there
was any medicine that would cure
so bad case as mine. fooled
them. l feel as if / could live
ten years longer than before
took them. You may publish
this as you see fit so as to help
others. PATRICK WEIGH.

BOWLERS AVERAGES.
First Month of the District League
Season.

The first month of the championship
season of the District Bowling Lea que
has been completed and finds the Saen-
gerbunds far in the lead. The arrange
ment of the schedule has helped them to
some extent although any advantage
gained by that will. OF course, be evened
Up later along in the season. Aside from
this fact, the team is Il very strong one,
and at this time seems to have the pen
nant well in hard. The W. A. G.. and
Carroll Institute are close in the race
for second position but the Columbia
Athletic Club, while al present having a
low percentage of victories, gives every
Indication of becoming an important fac
tor in the race. The schedule operated
greatly against ills team. inasmuch as
it played six of its first nine games away
from home, and that with the strong
est teams in the league The new material
in the Business Mems Club is rounding to,
and gives promise OF taking on brace
shortly.

who have participated in not less than six
games are presented herewith These fig

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Here are some curious facts about the
fading ''pestilence" in New Orleans: The
death rate from all diseases in the city
from the date yellow fever was found there
until November @ was 25.01 per thousand
per annum. This, while the death rate in the
city of New York in 1890 was 25.l per thoI-
sand, and that of Boston 23.3l per thousand,
with no epidemic in either. There have been
deaths from yellow fever. but the sanitary
condition of this city has been such. and
its general health so excellent, that in spite
of the fever the death rate of New Orleans
has been well below the average. Pesti-
lence is scarcely the word for a city where
there has been less sickness and fewer
deaths than usual. and which, in these
spects, can invite comparison with many
other American cities. The record. says
the Chattanooga Times, ''justiiies these
conclusions and shows very clearly that
the fever was more terrifying on account
of its name than ii was deadly. TIE deaths
from diphthcria alone in Chicago in Sep
tember outnumbered the fever deaths in
New orleans in the same month 10y about
two to one" The moral of ii all, so far as
New Orleans is concerned. appears To- be
that unusual cleanliness has saved more
lives than yellow fever has destroyed.

The Melik (or chief, light -draught gum

just completed at Chiswick. has been ship
ped in sections to Ismalia, whence the sec
tons will be lowed up the fresh water
canal to the Nile, and above Cairo the sec
tons will be roughly put together and the
vessel towed to Wady Halfa, where she
will be taken apart and rairoaded across
the country 0hus cutting off the big bend
of the river, to Abu Hamid, where she will
be launched, to take part In the expedition
against Khartoum when England is ready
to resume hostilities. The Melik is IL, feet
long. ~ feet inches wide, and is built in
eleven section. with bulkheads at the ends
of each, which enables every section to
float independently of the others. The ma
shinery is contained in detachable COM
partments, and large Lighthouses fore and

steel-plated flying battery forward, raised
twenty-one feet, has four ports for Maxim

the Advancing Sea.

the Advancing Sea.
E. L. Corthell in the Engineering Magazine.
Approaching the fact that the high chalk
cliffs of England are no protection against
the sea. the Dutch engineers did not at
tempt to place an artificial vertical wall
against the waves and the storm tides, but
coaxed the sea to deposit its sands on the
shore and so build it up, rather than throw
them inland and then, hungry for more, eat
into the shore. They believed it best to
satisfy its appetite, but induced 1t to toy
with the sands which its own flood currents
and waves bring from other shores and
from the otfing depths. The sand thus de-
posted blows. in the gales, over the inland
country. The engineers induced it to stop
and build a barrier for them against the
sea. One OF the heaviest bikes along the
coast Wa1 built by the winds themselves.
The sand formed between the jetties be-
comes dry in sunny weather, and the sur
face Is bio IN ashore when the wind is III
that direction. 1t was desired to build a;
strong dixie TO connect with the sand dunes
This was accomplished by setting in the
sand, in rows about foot apart, tufts of
the dune sea grass near by. The tufts were
placed about foot apart--simply little
handfulls of grass; the place for each tutt
was dug out with the hands. the tuft set
into it, and the sand pressed around it,
The whole surface of the dry, sandy beach
above high tide was covered with this plan
tation, and. just back Of it, at the highest
point of the existing sandy area, one or two
rows OF reeds were set into the sand, their
tops cut off. and the stalks left standing
about four feet above the sand. The sand
drifting along over the surface. catches and
in one windy day will almost bury the tufts
of grass and stand up foot along the rows
of reeds. Then another plantation was
made. and another, until massive dixie
was built up to the height of the adjoining
dixie. In high storm tides the waves will
eat into the toe of the slope and pull down
the sand, but, by the same process of build
ing, the dixie is again restored to its former
size.

Not "a Boy Had "a Button Left.

That's right. that shows you are a care
full boy. Whenever you find a button bring
it to me-" said one of the Catholic sisters
in charge of the Orphan Boys Home in
Westport. and to encourage the boy to do
so she gave HIM piece of candy.
The other boys in thc home heard OF this
and during the next two or three days a
great many buttons found their way into
the hands of the sisters. Every boy who
brought one was rewarded the first had
been. Sunday came and the sister was
busy making the boys clean and tidy for
