HISTORIC SPOTS.
What They Are Worth to Their
Present Owners.

London Telegraph.
Last year no fewer than $4,000 people
passed the turnstiles which guard the en-
trance to the little room in which Burns
first saw the light In 1896 the centenary
year of Burns death, the number reached
IS, 900, and as two pence is demanded from
each visitor, a very simple calculation
will show what a large sum of money Is
annually obtained by this means.
The cottage is a very humble, one
stored little erection, with matched
roof and the poets father, when he first
went to live there, would have opened his
eyes pretty widely had any one been able
to tell him what a sum was one day to
be received for it. The place was bought
from him (after the poets death) by a
corporation of shoemakers, who after
wards sold it to the present trustees for
$4,000.
Another famous birthplace which at
tracts a large number of people is that of
Thomas Carlyle at Ecclefechan, which is
twenty or thirty miles north Of Carlisle.
There is no fixed scale for charges for
visiting this cottage, but as 1,2O5 people
climbed the stairs last year and each
probably left something with the care
taker, it will be easily seen that here,
too, is a nice little property.
There are other places, more or less
we'll known, scattered about in different
parts of England and Wales, which the
tourists often visit. Shakespeare is still a
veritable little gold mine to Stratford-on-
Avon. People from all parts of the world
make pilgrimages to the little Warwick
shire town in order to see the famous
poets birthplace The charge for admis-
sion to the house is siXpence, but as an
interesting museum is usually visited at
the same time, for which an extra Six
pence is demanded, few persons leave the
building without leaving one shilling be-
hind them.
Then there is Ann Hathaway's cottage
to be seen also. This is a mile away
from Stratford, at the pretty little village
of Shottery, and it is where the poets
wife was wooed and won. The writer,
during a recent visit to it, was informed
that on an average 100 people a day all
the year round came to see the cottage,
and as each visitor pays siXpence, $500
or 1000 year must be made out of it.

q k0TKEh's GRATITUDE,
Many Mothers in St, Paul Will
Appreciate the Following.

Many strong man and many a healthy
woman has much to thank mother for.
The care taken during their childhood
days has. brought them past the danger
point and made them healthy men and
women. Children are generally bothered
at some period with incontinence of
urine, and inability to retain the urine is
ofttimes called a habit It is not the
children's fault, the difficulty lies with
the kidneys and can be readily righted
If taken in the right way. A st. Paul
mother shows you how.
Mrs. t. Downey, No. $50 Agate street,
says: Il can highly advise the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills for such cases as
that of our boy. When he was about
four years old he received severe fall
which injured his back and kidneys. He
complained of backache and was troubled
with kidney weakness, annoying at
night, causing me trouble and anxiety.
We tried many remedies, and doctors
treated him, but nothing did him much
good. When 1 learned about Doan's Kid
ney Pills 1 sent to e. M. Parker's drug
store and got box. There was a notice.
able Improvement in short time, and
after he used two and a half boxes all
symptoms of his weakness and pains in
the back disappeared The cost Of Doan's

doctors bills and their work is decidedly
satisfactory"

RUBBER CULTURE
In Central America Offers Fine

Rubber culture in Central America Of
fers a splendid field for a poor man."
said Mr.. j. S. Nodine manager of the
largest rubber plantation in Nicaragua
Just as an illustration, let me tell you
of the experience of neighbor of ours
named Westerfield. He came to Nicara-
qua from somewhere in New England
and brought with him a wife and little
child. He was very much run down and
weakened with consumption and came to
the tropics to try to regain his health. 1
happen to know that he didn't have Il dol
lar, and he was glad to take a job clerk
ing at about $40 month sold. Being nat
urally shreWd and energetic he made a
little money trading and bought 160-acre
tract, which he proceeded to have cleared
by degrees, setting it out partly in rubber
trees and partly in bananas and fruits.
In a year the fruit began to return q
small revenue, which he used in extending
the cultivation, his idea being to have
eventually a well-stocked rubber planta-
ton and in the meanwhile to make the
other things pay the expenses. BY good
management and industry he carried out
the programme, and in the second year
opened a small store for trading with the
Indians After that it was easy, and in
considerable less than four years he had
one Of the incest rubber groves in the re-
public. The trees are now on the point
of giving their first yield, but recently
his wife's health failed and he was
obliged to return North, having complete
ly recovered himself Four weeks ago
he sold the plantation as it stands for $685.

l admit, but at the same time there is
absolutely nothing about it that cannot

81 had a peculiar case in court the other
day." said a lawyer from a sister city.
IAN old Irishman named Callahan had
got into row with his landlord about
some repairs and refused to pay his rent.
The landlord was a fussy little ex-college
professor totally IMMERSED in the ways of
the world, and he was imprudent enough
to send word that he would have the
family evicted and then called to discuss
it personally. He emerged yelling muir
der, and said that he had first met Mrs.
Callahan, who told him her husband
would do him no harm, upon the strength
of which he had waited for his return.
When Callahan came<in he promptly gave
the visitor beating. The old Irishman
and his wife were both arrested, and [
appeared for the defense. The ugly fea-
ture of the case was the alleged effort OF
the woman to lure her caller into trap,
but when put on the stand she denied the
landlords story in toto, and swore point
blank she had warned him that her hus-
band proposed to punch his head. Both
parties seemed perfectly sincere in their
statements, and l was somewhat puz-
zled, I finally decided to cross-eXamine
the ex-professor. Now repeat to u.s., L
said, exactly what Mrs. Callahan told
you in regard to her husband She as
sured me positively replied the landlord
that he had no inten Son whatever OF
molesting me- But sAe didn't say 1t IN
those words l insisted; what l want IS
he- exact language We'll, SIR said the
witness, beginning to get fiustered, she
gave me to understand oh! never
mind that interrupted the judge, give
US her own words Very well, sir! Very
well. sir!' exclaimed the little landlord
desperately She said: When Mike comes
home he won't do thing to you! When
the Judge got through laughing he let
the prisoners off with reprimand.

He Now Takes His Evening Clothes

After having undergone many years of
