The amateur detective is as humorous


 Sherlock Holmes, IS a man who reads i clues, as the Indian reads a trail. Every step he takes is q step to success.
 It's much the same way in the detec- tion of disease While the amateur is l blundering along over misleading synp- toms, the specialist goes right to the real cause and puts an arrestfng hand upon the disease. 1t is i'll such a way that Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting phvsi- clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N Y, succeeds in. hunting out and arresting diseases, where the less experienced practitioners fail More than thirty years of special study and experience have enabled Dr. Pierce to read symptoms as easily and as truly as the Indian reads trail which is without hint for a less acute vision than his Any sick person can consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely without charge. Each letter is read ill private and an- swered in private. Its contents are held as sacredly confidential. It is answered with fathetly feeling as we'll as medical skill and the reply is sent sealed in perfectly plain envelope, that there may be no third party to the correspondence. Thousands have taken the first step to health by writing to Dr. Pierce. No writer ever regretted writing. Ninety eight i'll every hundred treated have been positively cured If you are afflicted with any old obstinate ai1- 1nent write to-day, you will be one day nearer health. Address Dr. R. v.

What Shall We Do =?

The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, FiIsts

back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to urinate, often with burning sea-
satlon, the flow of urine being copious or

STONE HOTELS.
sThey Are Said to Burn Oftener Than
Those Built Entirely of
Wood.

Considering how many huge hotels,
constructed entirely of wood, and often
In a more or less fimsy manner, are
scattered about the country in places
where security from fire depends al
most wholly on the watchfulness of
proprietors and guests, it is, indeed, re-
markable that fatal CONGREGATIONS are
not more numerous than they are. AS
a matter of fact, it is the old city hotel
that most often is the scene of a
great catastrophe, not the big franc
structure at mountain or beach resorts,
though these, at first thought, would
seem to be much more convenient fuel
for flames, says the New York Times.
1t must be remembered, however,
that the difference between the urban
and rural hotels is more apparent than
real. Stone or brick outside walls give
no infiammability to building with
wooden floors laid on wooden beams,
and with scantlings covered with lath
and plaster for partitions. AS one of
the officials said in discussing the trag-
edy at the Windsor, the summer hotels
are safer than they seem. They con-
tain few except kitchen fires, and their
structure is such that every inmate
is moved to more carefulness than resi-
dents in the solider-looking buildings
in the city think necessary.

"TEDDY" IS A SAD BIRD NOW.
Well Meaning Bald Eagle That Served
as Rough Riders Mascot Has
Met Sore Defeat.

After a well-meaning bald eagle has
served as mascot for the rough riders
and vanquished every other inhabitant
of his cage since the war, it comes hard
to be thrashed by two bald-headed in
truders, who never saw Cuba or
squawked defiance at hostile Spaniards.
And doubly hard is it to be used as an
animated mop by still another pair of
shiny-pated fighters, says the New
York Press.
That is the reason why ''Teddy," the
eagle who brought luck to Col. Roose-
velt's regiment, now makes his bed on
hard rock near the ground, while his
four conquerors look down on him
from the highest perch of the eagle
cage in the Central Park ZOO. Teddy"
was boss of the cage until Superintend-
ent Smith introduced pair of bald
eagles named the Heavenly Twins"
They proceeded, by working together,
to make Teddy" hang his head in hui
initiation, and another pair that was
brought in later made matters worse
for the once proud bird. Teddy"
fought hard, but he had no more chance
than the Spaniards whom he once de-
rided

Miller of 312 East Twelfth street, the

AMERICANS IN LONDON.
Statfstician Says That They Spend
$1O,O0O,OOO Annually in the
Worlds Metropolis.

Some London statistician announces
that Americans spend in London more
than $10,000,000 every season, and he
declares that the greater part of this
comes from the Americans living there
permanently or for some months at a
time, and not from the transient Wis
ltors who stay for only few days. The
American entertainments are said to be
looked upon now as a regular feature
OF the season and play an appreciate
part in its brilliancy. Shopkeepers find
that Americans are generally more lib.
eral in their dealings than English PEG.
pie of the same wealth and position.
The number of Americans residing per
manently in London is now estimated
at 10000. There are nearly as many
more during the average summer, al
though in years of expositions or spe-
cialevents this figure is much increased.
A New Yorker who recently returned
from London was impressed with the
small number of his fellow-citizens
who seemed to take up their residence
there. The number of New Workers
among the Americans who live per-
manently in London is said to be dis
proportonately small. The majority
of these eXpatriated citizens of the
United States are said to come from
the middle west.

An OLD PePrare.

The premier baron of England, Lord
de Ros, has just celebrated his birth
day, having completed his seventy-sec-
ond year. There are older peerages still
in existence, but the barony of De Ros
is the oldest peerage of that grade, it
having been created in 1864 by Henry
Ill, and the present peer is the twenty
fourth holder of the title. That gives
an average life to each holder of over
26 years, but many of them did not sue
coed to the title very early in life. The
present peer was Al when he succeeded
his father. The present Lord de Ros
served as equerry and lord in waiting
to the queen and prince consort.

poses. Mr.. BronstOn can stand aside.
