A Stone That Grows.

A West Gouldsboro (Me. man tells
q queer story about stone that grows
1t is an egg shaped, fiinty looking rock,
which he picked up III a cove near his
home over 80 years ago. Then it
weighed about 10 pounds and from its
odd shape was kept in The house and on
the doorstep as curiosity. As the
years passed the stone increased in size.
Six years ago it weighed 40 pounds,
and now it tips the scale at So pounds
The owner swears it is the same stone,
and tells likely story, with numer-
GUS witnesses to back him up.-Ex-

ITALIAN TITLES.
They Are Cheap and Not Highly Es-
teemed at Home.

Throughout Europe Italian titles of
nobility do not enjoy a very high repu-
tatiOn. says the London Mail. A mere
Austrian baron is more highly consid-
cred than an Italian marquis. One eX-
PLANTATION of this fact is that many Of
these Italian mobiles with high-s0und
ing handles to their names are not in
very enviable financial situation.
Many astounding instances may be
cited of Italian dukes and counts who
occupy the strangest positions abroad.
Some are coachmen, others are hotel
porters, one is an interpreter in a rail
way station, another is butler in tile
family of an American millionaire. In
New York there is well known Italian
count who has run an elevator for
several years past. In southern Italy,
where poverty is greater than in other
portions of the peninsula, the great no.
bile families are compelled to resort to
the most extraordinary stratagems to
save appearances. In Naples poor no
Bile families have adopted a system of
mutual carriages and horses, which
is somewhat curious. five or six fam
lies agree to pay the expenses of a
luxurious establishment, generally
fOur-in- hand, with coachman and foot
man. The carriage door with the Va
riOus coats Of-arms of the = different
families is alone changed. according
to the family which uses the carriage.
On great occasions these families draw
lots to see which shall use the carriage
and horses.
But strange fact is that now. when
so many noble families have become
impoverished, the Italian government
is about to increase the price or titles,
future the man who wishes to bear
a princes crown must pay $4,000 to the
government; to become a duke, $4,000 is
sufficient; for $4,000 one may be a mar
quis, and for $4,000 count; $2400 is suf-
ficient to become d baron, and $1,000 for
the simple prefix de" These figures
apply only to the titles conferred by
the king. But besides these royal titles
are the dignities conferred by the pope,
with which several American mer-
chants and business men have been
honored. These papal titles are some
what cheaper than those conferred by
the king. At the vatican a brand new
count may be created for $4,000, and a
marquis for $4,000. American amateurs
should take note of this fact.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
proud old Italian aristocrats look doWa
with the greatest contempt on these
parvenue noblemen, whether created
by the king or the pope. These proud
Italian aristocrats of ancient lineage,
such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the
Orsini Rome, the Sfrozzi of Florence,
and the Visconte of Milan, consider
themselves vastly superior to the most
ancient mobiles Of France and Great
Britain, and the equals of most royal
families Some of the old Roman no
bles even claim direct descent from the
days of ancient Rome.

How carefully mother guards tbs Sc
crets of her boys and girls At night
as she carefully tucks the bed clothes
around them she ehides and warns that
mother will be angry if they repeat last
nights offense, softly saying to herself
it is only It habit but must break them
of it. This is mothers mistake. The
children cannot help it, and sweet, clean'
dry beds can be the resting place OF ave-
ry child when it understood that this is
not habit but weakness that can be
cured. Active life of the little one tends
to weakening the kidneys, and weak gid
neys means inability to retain the urine.
This is q condition, not q habit. ana
should have the same prompt attention
you would give to the marked symptoms
Of any disease. One Doans Kidney Pill
taken twice day and at led time will
strengthen the kidneys of child, and
in short time there will be no cause to
scold, for the so-called habit will disap-
pear promptly. Here grateful moth

have a little boy eleven years of age that
was very much troubled with weak kid
neys When he was six years old he would
go in bathing frequently and remain for a
long time. That was when I noticed
first any difficulty with his kidneys, but
he got so bad that he would wet the bed

times before morning. This caused me
any. amount of work and I WAS not
strong and besides I knew it should not

about Doan's Kidney Pills that they
would prevent such occurrences and
procured them. They have really been
the means of strengthening the kidneys
of the child and preventing nocturnal
