Hind.ight Weather for Town.

Des Moines. Ia. May 19.-The state
weather bureau makes the following re-
marks: The past weather was unseason-
ably cool. with prevalenceo of northwest
winds and less than the normal amount
OF sunshine. The average temperature
was from three to five degrees below
normal. There were light frosts in all
districts. but no material damage has
been observed. The rainfall was gener-
ally light; and in the northwest section
warm showers would be beneficial to all
crops. The condition of spring wheat,
oats and barley is generally satisfactory,
though the growth has been retarded
somewhat by cold winds. Grass is doing
well. Apples plums, cherries and small
fruit are quite promising

UNIQUE Faculties of Winged Creatures

The Chinese water.pheasant can fly
in the air, dive and swim under water,
using its wings as fins, and walk and
run on the land, and do all three well.
The water -ousel of England can do the
same. The dragon fly possesses the
unique faculty among winged cree
tuares of flying backwards and for
wards and sideways without turning
its body. There are very few insects
that the swallow, with it's marvellous
speed and dexterity and It's long in
herited experience, cannot catch, but
the dragon fly is one of them. The
dragon fly, without apparently troub.
ling itself, will keep q few feet ahead
of swallow for half IN hour at q
stretch, and, no matter how swiftly
the swallow moves, the dragon fly
is never just there when it make
its swoop. This is because the
swallow has to turn its body, while
the dragon fly only reverses its wings.

Prisoner Found Buried in Sand.

Prisoner Onhart, held at Fort Sheri-
dan to serve an eighteen months SEN
tence for violating a military rule at
Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, made an
attempt to escapsfrom his guards. He
succeeded in getting as far as the lake
shore, where he buried himself in the
sand near the Government pier. He
covered every portion Of his body
with the wet grains, leaving only a
place over his face, through which to
breathe.
With two other prisoners Onhart
was unloading coal. He escaped
through window, ran through a
ravine, crawled through sewers and
finally reached the pier at the lake.
He was missed by the guards fifteen
minutes after his escape. They fired
guns as a signal and the whole post
was aroused. Twelve men from Troop
G mounted with twelve men from
Company G, were detailed to make g.
search. They secured the woods,
ravines and every possible hiding
place. Onhart was finally found by
Corporal Betton and Privates P. Tur-
rel and Buschell under the pier.
The guards from whom he escaped
were put under arrest and will prob"
blv receive six months and fine OF

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass with
urine and let 1t stand twenty-four hours; 9
sediment or settling indicates diseased con-
dition of the kidneys. When turine stains
linen it is positive evidence Of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out Of order.
WHAT TO DO.

expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's swamp-Root,

following use Of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extraor-

House wrens, as the name suggests,
delight to dwell in the vicinity OF
mankind. If suitable boxes, gourds
or hollow receptscles of any kind are
provided, they will enter at once into
possession, and will repay the apprecI-
atlve friends with their sweet, tinkling
little songs. They are very bold, and
will readily attack birds much larger
than themselves, as the blue birds end
swallows; and will even attack cats
when they approach their nests. II
no better provision for housekeeping
can be found, they will take possession
of knothole in the weather boarding,
crevice in the wall, an old teapot II
hung up, or an old hat stuffed into a
broken window. They are lively and
useful in habits, always cheerful, and
are almost as familiar about the house
as the aeighborly robins. In Europe
the name Kitty Wren is popularly
given to the common variety in many
parts of the country.-New England

Our New IrOn-Clad Monitor.

If there is any virtue in long sea-
soning, the new iron.clad monitor,
the Puritan, will doubtless prove
valuable accession to our naval fleet.
With q crew of 200 m en- the ponderous
vessel has entered upon its career OF
service.
The history of the Puritan ia unique
and interesting. The original pattern
was designed by Ericsson in 1864, but
nothing WAS done for several years,
except to build the rough hull. In
1875 the construction of the boat was
turned over to John Roach, of Chester
Penn, who destroyed the old works,
although he used much of the mater
ial in building the new monitor. In
spite of the zeal with which the
builder entered upon his task, he soon
found that he had undertaken q great
responsibility. There was disposi-
tion on the part of Congress to criti-
else his workmanship, and this was
still further aggravated by lack OF
confidence throughout the country.
Despite the hostility Of the public,
however, ana frequent Interruptions,
the boat was completed in 1883 and
launched for the first time upon the
water.
With the changes which have taken
place in naval and engineering science
within the past few years, the Govern
ment has found it necessary to re-
model the Puritan from top to bottom.
In accordance with this decision the
boat has been in the hands of expert
enced contractors for some time. The
work of remodeling the immense
structure has been formally com
pleted, and the monitor again placed
upon it's active mission OF protecting
the Nations coast.
In the Judgment of experienced en-
gineers the Puritan is one OF our
strongest and best equipped war YES
