Thousands of Cases Cured.
Buffalo, Oct. &.-Late dispatches
from Pektn. China, bring information
to the effect that the Emperor is dying
Of Bright's Disease. He is now under
the care Of q famous French physician,
says that the Emperor's complaint is
ian incurable kidney disease"
The famous French physician is mis-.

There is no incurable kidney disease,
In this CITY, where the only remedy
that can positively cure Bright's Dis.
ease and all other kidney diseases, is
prepared, and where numerous cures
have been effected by its use, the
statement of the famous French physi.
clan reads strangely enough.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have cured
thousands of cases of kidney diseases
that have beenpronounced "incurable'
by doctors. They have never scored q
failure.

Western New York & Pennsylvania

The Philosophical Tailor.

How often have l taken away gar
ment for a fault which did not exist
and which l of course never intended to
rectify. How often have l taken back
the same garment without it ever hav.
ing been unfolded and been commended
for the alteration which had not been
made, and then been reprehended for
not having done what was right at first.
A man to be a good tailor should be
either a philosopher or a mean, cring-
ing slave, whose feelings had never
been excited to the pitch of manhood.

Plenty Of Gold.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Che conten.
ton Of the friends OF silver that there
is not gold enough in the world to dc
the worlds business is likely to re.
ceive an effective blow from the annual
mint reports for 1897 and 1898. 1t ap.
pears that the supply of new gold for
monetary purposes added to the worlds
stock is likely to equal 5 per cent OF
the whole gold currency Of the world
each year, and to charge the great
banks within y few years with more Of
the yellow metal than they a pro.
ftably employ.
The notes Of the bank OF France are
already covered in the proportion of
nearly 80 per cent by the metallic re-
serve, and more than SO per cent by
the gold reserve. Russia has accumu-
lated q fund of s6Oo,OOO,OOO in gold for
the resumption of specie payments,
and both the Bank of England and
the Imperial German bank have more
than sl50.0O0,0o0 in the yellow metal.
The production of gold for 1897, as
already announced by the director of
the mint, was s237,5O4,sO0, or more
than double the production of the
world as recently as 1883. The pro.
duction Of 1893 will reach s275,OOO,OOO,
and the products next gear will prob
ably exceed s3Oo,OOO,OOO. The con.
sumption Of gold in the arts through.
out the world is about e6O,OOO,OOO q
year, which will leave sl25,OOO,OOO
valuable for monetary uses this year,
and s24O,OOo,OOO in 1899.
There is at present no largo demand
for gold from any country proposing
to adopt the gold standard, unless the
government of Great Britain shall de-
eide upon a gold standard sfor India.
The Struggling at the narr Nv blanket by
the Rold-using nations" which has
been the pathetic image of the silver
extremists for representing the scar
city of gold, seems likely to be changed
into a disposition to throw away part
of the blanket to whatever poorer
nation desires to establish a gold cur
rency
The United States would be capable
Of putting gold in circulation to the
amount of nearly half of tho circula.-
ing medium il the great reserves in

and the national banks Of the United
States on Sept. 20 had s293,s74, $50 in

some Ancient Instances of Insurance
Can he Easily Found.
Probably the first recorded instance
OF insurance was one mentioned by
Livy. During the second Punio war the
contractors for delivering corn into
Spain stipulated that the government
should indemnify them against loss by
the enemy or tempest. Cicero, too, aft
er his victory in Oilioia, seems to havo
obtained security against the loss Of his
booty during its transit to Rome. These
instances, however. are not regarded az
true cases of insurance by many author
tiles, who assert that only after the 70.
vival OF commerce In the tenth century
did it come into vogue. II this be 60,
the first mention Of insurance is the
establishment in 1910 at Bruges at the
request Of the inhabitants of q chamber
Of assurance.
1.-THE contract of reciprocal insurance
was known likewise in Portugal In the
fourteenth century, and in the fifteenth
(Sept. 10, 1486) King Edward of Por-
tugal writes from Lisbon that the mer.
chant vessels Of the English, which had
been chartered for tho Tangier expedi-
ton, had not been insured, owing to
the fault Of their proprietors. while
those Of the Portuguese, oven of the
royal navy. WERE" 1t is probable, how
ever, that insurance came into use in
Italy early in the twelfth century and
was by the Lombards t%ransplanted into
those countries with which they had
commercial dealings. To them, there
fore, the invention Of insurance, as It ID
now understood, is generally conceded.

Te.tine Cornst.lk Pith.

Tho American consul general at St.

Of oornstalk pith made by tho Russian
admiralty board on the proving grounds
at Peligon, near st. Petersburg:
IA oofferdam 9 feet long, 9 feet deep
and 8 feet broad was packed with blocks
Of cellulose made from the pith of In
dian corn stalks. The material was sup.
piled by an American corporation. A Q
inch solid shot was fred through the
dam. striking 1t about 30 inches from
the bottom. The shot passed clear
through both the iron walls and the
cellulose packing. Less than half a
pound Of cellulose was carried out by
the projectile. The water compartment
Of the dam was filled, giving a pressure
Of nearly five feet Of water on the per-
forated surface. In just half an hour q
moist spot began to show on the outer
surface Of tho dam, but 1t was evident
the moisture had come along the bottom
Of the packing and not along tho path
Of the shot. In four hours no water had
come through the shots path.
