BRIGHTS DISEASE CURED.
After Many Treatments Had Failed
to Give Relief

A REMEDY WAS AT LAST DISCOVERED AND
THE MAI,ADY WAS ERADIcATED-oNE OF
MANY CASES IN WISCONSIN.
ASHLAND, Wisconsin, April ID. John
l.. Boquest, engineer, at the Sulphite
Fibre Co.'S plant, was being hurried
rapidly to the grave by Bright's Disease
when good friend advised him to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The sick man had
previously used many different medicines,
electric belts, etc, but could get no relief
He, however, decided to heed his friends
advice, and as a result he is to-day well
man. He says:
MY eyes felt heavy, my head and back
ached, my urine was very dark in color,
and | was almost a wreck. After using
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills | was
cured My aches have left me, my eye
sight is again good, and feel like new
man."
Bright's Disease can be cured only by
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This
has been demonstrated in thousands of
cases.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by drug
gists at 30 cents a box, or six boxes for
$3.50. Sent by mail on receipt of price

LION TURNS ON TAIL-PULLER.
California Man Narrowly Escapes
Giving His Life for
His Joke.

Joseph Watkins, well-known San
Francisco theatrical man, had mar
row escape from death the other night
at Seattle, Wash, in an encounter with
n crazed lion. He pulled the beasts
tail and the animal seized him through
a hole in the cage used for feeding. Wat
kins' arm was badly torn, but the at
PENDANTS succeeded in forcing the lion
back before he did further injury
Fianka, woman lion tanner, is show
ing number of beasts in local va-
riety house. Watkins was behind the
scenes and noticed the lions tail stuck
ing through the bars. The animal was
eating a joint of beef when Watkins
seized it's tail and gave it two fierce
twists. With roar the beast was upon
him. A moments delay on the lions
part in dropping the beef joint proba-
bly, saved the tail puller's life.

TWO SLyRES VASES.
Presented to United States by the
Late President of France.
Commemorate Opening of New Fran
co-American Cable-Magnihcent
Specimens of Art Work of
French National Pottery.

The opening of the new Franco
American cable on August IL last, on
which occasion President Mckinley
and President Faure exchanged the
first message over the new line, has
been commemorated by the presenta-
ton to the government of the United
States through President Mckinley of
two magnificent Sevres vases from
the French national pottery at Sevres.
The gift was from the late president
of the French republic, Felix Faure,
and was presented by NJ. Cambon, the
French ambassador at Washington.
The vases and pedestals stand six or
eight feet high, and are of deep blue,
characteristic of the finest Sevres ware,
as well as in happy accord with the pre-
vailing colors of the blue room OF the
white house, where they have been
placed in position, one on either sideOf
the large window looking toward the
Potomac They far exceed in elegance
anything in the way of porcelain
hitherto brought to the white house.
The Sevres factory is a government
institution situated near Paris, on the
banks of the Seine, half way between
Paris and Versailles. 1t was erected
by Louis XIV. because the soil furnished
a porcelain clay entirely unique in the
modelling of fine articles. Ever since
the time of Louis Nv. the factory has
been protected by French rulers. The
most prominent artists in France, both
painters and sculptors, have been at
tached to this factory. There is prob
ably not royal palace in Europe that
does not possess one or more celebrated
specimens of the Sevres ware, such as
vases or table services, and the white
house itself possesses n Sevres service
which always appears at the state din
ners given by the president.
The vases will now remain a perma-
manent possession of the white house,
along with several other notable deco
rations given by foreign governments.
If they had been given personally to
President Mckinley il would have re-
quired an act of congress for their ac
ceptance, but as gift TO the American
government and people no special act
is required, and they remain one of the
fixed possessions of the white house.

Coffee GIRLS"
Department of New York City
VIII BE Under Civil Service.

There are indications that the genus
office boy may soon be as hopele5sly eX-
tinct as the dodo-at all events, so far
as the municipal department of New
York city are concerned. The charter
provides for the appointment of office
girls, and the following announcement,
taken from the city record, shows that
the civil service commissionerSare not
neglecting the weaker sex:
Public notice is hereby given that open
competitive examinations will be held In
the office Of this commission for the fol-
lowing positions on the dates specified ::
Friday, April IA, ten a. m. Office girls; ap-
plicants must be under Is years of age.
Subjects Arithmetic. spelling dictation.
writing and letter writing.
LEE PHILLIPS, Secretary.
Never before in New York-possibly
in this country, possibly anywhere
were "ofiice girls" given this expansive
public and official opportunity to prove
their mettle. 1t is an experiment that
will probably enlist the warmest enthu-
siasm of female suffragists and cause
those opposed to woman labor to throw
up their hands in horror.
The maximum salary for Office girls
under Clause of the new civil service
regulations is S25 a month. After two
years service an office girl may, if rec
commended by her departmental chief
take an examination for a junior clerk
ship, of which the maximum salary is
$50 month

There is one little fact about the late
Lord Herschell which is not generally
known, and that is that he was the only
lord chancellor who acted as q Sunday
school teacher. On one occasion he an
nounced this fact at a large Sunday
school demonstration. It was received
with tremendous applause. Lord Her
schell taught in the Sunday school con-
nected with the church of which his ia
Their was minister, not far from the
Edgeware road, and assisted in this
work long after he began his career at

Of self-torture As a punishment for fan

Lena Walshleager. a young woman who
came TO this country from Germany
about year ago. Is IN tho hospital re-
covering from an operation to remove 4
needle embedded in the walls OF her
stomach. The needle was the third that
had been removed from this young
woman's body. two others having been
taken out last March. The Rocntgen
rays have revealed tho presence OF seven
more.
Miss Walshleager says that two years
ago she was an inmate Of a convent IN
Germany where she had been put by
her mother when the latter emigrated
TO the United States. Miss walshleager
frequently broke tho rules Of the insti.
tuition, and, according to her story. she
was told by one OF the priests in the con.
vent to prick herself with needle for
each breach Of propristy. The girl tried
to carry out these instructions, but her
courage failed her, so she arranged .

endured this, she says. for several
months, then unable 10 bear IL longer
