But when an honest man siSty-fve
years Of age and who has lived In our
city for thirty years. and owns his own
property speaks, We must give ear to
his words and have faith In what he
recommends. For that reason we pub
llsh the statement OF A. H. West, 21l
North street. Saginaw. Mich, for the
benefit Of Wheeling people as follows:
Il have suffered much from kidney
trouble for the past FIVE years. My back
was very lame; was quite nervous at
times and my general health was seri-
ously impaired. Some time ago was
induced to try Morrow's Kid-ne-olds OF
which had heard q great deal. and
faith in 1t as had previously tried n
large number OF kidney pills and kidney
remedies without any particular bene-
ut. but want to say that I got simply
wonderful relief in two days after COM
mencing the use OF Kid-ne-oi Odds, and
that am now entirely cured"
Il regard my case as n severe test of
the medicine, as SO many others had
failed to help me. My advice to KID
ney sufferers Is to give MORRROW'S
kID-NE-OIDS n thorough trial and
find relief as l did,
Mr.. West had no faith at first. but the
assurance OF his friends induced him to
try once more. The result Is given
above. Let Mr.. West be your friend
and II you suffer with hackache. sleep.
lessness. nervousness. etc. take his ad-
vice and use Morrow's kid-ne-o ODDS and
get cured. Mr.. West Is grateful
man and will be glad to write to you
personally how much he was benefited
by the use of Morrow's Kid-ne-o lds, IL
you will enclose n stamp for reply. Do
not confound Morrow's kid-ne- odds
with any kind OF kidney pills; they are
not pills at all. but Yellow Tablets
which are put up in wooden boxes and
sell at 80 cents. Morrow's Liverlax are
small red pellets and cure constipation;
they sell at rs cents n box. Both OF
these remedies are for sale at Chas. r.

a Short Strike.

NEW YORK. March La strike OF
the train hands employed on the Brook
Ign bridge occurred to-day and after
congestlng traffic for % minutes ended
In favor of the. men.
The Cause OF the strike was q new
time and pay schedule prepared by the
elevated railroad company and which
cut down the earnings OF the men.
About 5000 people cross on the ele-
waited cars to New York every hour
from to , o'clock In the morning. The
strike started at Z n. m. and the thou
sands OF travellers were compelled to
either walk across the big structure or
take the trolley cars. The surface cars
soon became TANNED with an impatient
mass OF disguised citizens. The rail-
road company took down the new
schedule and put up the old one, and at
rs minutes past the strike was over
and the trains running again as usual.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2s.-The

General Miles beef charges to-day, was
an object lesson in canned meats pre-
pared by the court and served TO the
non-commissioned men who testified
at yesterdays hearing.
The court had prepared eight plates
of beef, fresh beef, canned beef that
had been to Cuba and back, and can
ned beef fresh from the factory. Four
plates were prepared hot in stew and
four cold as they came from the cans,
the fresh beef being boiled TO make It
resemble the others. The enlisted men

PROJECTORS or PLANTS.
SpInss end ThsrHs Thought to Nave Been
Evolvse q The Horns Of Insects.

Thorny and spiny plants and plants
with singing hairs are supposed to
have been evolved in the same manner
as protected insects. Thus. those
plants which tended to produce spines
and singing hairs were preserved IN
each generation, while those not doing
so were destroyed. The first difnculty
here is that of understanding now an
animal in the habit OF browsing on q
certain plant here and there because 1t
was--as we must suppose 1t was at
first-very slightly spiny. or had EN-
bryonic stings hairs. The second diftf-
Guilty is that browsing animals do not
avoid the perfected thOrny or spiny
plant. or even the singing nettle. Sea-
holly is one of our most spiny plants,
and vet on the Norfolk coast. where it
grows abundantly. the horses browse
on it freely. The donkey's fondness
for thistles is proverbial and many
browsing animals eat furze: while
the nettle is eaten by snails. sew
eral species of caterpillar. as well as
by cattle. And it cannot be supposed
that browsing animals have been
evolved pari passu with the plants,
50 as to enable them to feed on the
same. for the staple of their food is
grass, and they do not need the others.
When we think of grass. again. we
feel another difficulty. For the grasses
are the plants most browsed on by
animals, and in which. most of all.
ANYTHING in the way of spininess ought
to have been developed. Yet these
same grasses have, according to some.
developed a remarkable series Of con-
trivances to protect their pollen from
ants. The grasses, then. show US
clearly that plants browsed on by the
animals do not need either thorns or
spines to enable them to increase and
multiply-tO maintain and extend
their place in nature.
The protective value of stings in
nettles and in bees is doubtful guam
tity. Here is another example point
ing the same moral, viz, that what
ever be the real use Of stings, or rea-
son of their development. it is not that
they protect their owners from the
animals which prey upon them. This
interesting case of really formidable
stings being no protection is from the
journal of Sir Joseph Banks" Shoot
ing an albatross on one occasion. he
relates how the bird elected from its
stomach quantities of species of
jelly-fish. which is armed with really
powerful stings. The bird was evil
IDENTIFY wont to feed on them. Thus.
to bring these remarks to an end.
there seems to be no substantial foun-
dation. either theoretical or expert
mental, for the view that protective
characters have been evolved by the
process of natural selection. But If
not true. it may at least be claimed for
it that it is paradoXical; for it is by
the ruthless destruction of individuals
that the race is supposed to be pro-
tected
