That Ia Seldom Seen Above Ground.

In many places in the extreme southern states, especially in what are locally known as the "piuey woods" one of the most notable features Is the constantly recurring mounds of yellow sand which everywhere dot, and, 1t must be confessed, dishgure the monotonous landscape. These piles of earth, says the Popular Science Monthly, are usually nearly circular in form, fairly symmetrical in contour, from six inches to two feet in diameter, and, save where they have been beaten down by rain or winds or the tramping of cattle, about half as high as they are broad. Often these sand heaps are pretty evenly distributed, sometimes so thickly as to cover at least one-fourth of the soil surface. If you ask a native the cause of this singular phenomenon, which you will perhaps at first be disposed to consider kind of arenaceous erup- ton which has somehow broken out on the face of nature, your informant will sententiously reply: "Salaman- ders."
 All this disAgurement is indeed the work of curious little rodent popu. larly so named and about the size and color of an ordinary rat. He is never seen. above ground If he can possibly help 1t. He digs innumerable branch. ing underground tunnels, at depths varying from one to six feet, and these mounds of sand are simply the dump heaps" which in his engineer. ing operations he finds 1t necessary to make. ~ S-a
 After carrying the excavated earth to the surface this curious little miner takes the greatest pains to cover up his tracks. No opening into his bur. row Is left. How he manages to SC carefully smooth over his little sand mound and then literally pull the hole in after him" !s as yet unex' plained.

KITCHENER GRAVES SUCCESS.
British General subordinates Every

Father Brindle, D. s. O., bishop aux. Hilary to Cardinal Vaughan. recently delivered lecture at East bourne, England. in which he devoted some time to personal "reminiscences of Lord Kitchener, the English general now in South Africa, Father Brindie has known Kitchener for l6 years,

He is thought to De hard man; do not believe him to be hard. But he Is certainly man who wears a mask.
 Lord Kitchener has set one object before him in life, and that is, 10 be successful. He has subordinated every other feeling of his nature to that one thought of success. He looks upon men as tools, which, if they are not if for the work for which they are re. quired. must be replaced. The result is that he always secures the best men. These men. moreover. never lack their reward. For the men who served under him in the Soudan yes. terday are the men who are serving under him in South Africa to-day"

at that time the committee was asked to
reduce their wishes to writing and to sub
nit them later to the Commissioners.
This was the object of the call upon the
Commissioners yesterday and the commit
tee filed with the Engineer Commissioner
statement of the need of the bridge in
question and several reasons why its con-
struction should not be delayed. 1t was
shown by this statement that the bridge
would accommodate a large number of
farmers and truckers in the lower end of
the District. as well as accommodate a
large and growing part of the city.
1t was shown that considerable
part of the people of the District
who have business on both sides of
the river are not afforded suitable
facilities for crossing over by the bridges
now in existence. Another reason ad
vanced was that by constructing an en-
bankment from the northern shore out to
the channel and building the bridge from
there to the southern shore a large area
Of the flats of the Eastern Branch would
gradually be reclaimed and added to the
available land of the District.
The Commissioners received the delega-
ton cordially and assured them that the
matter would have the attention that it
deserved, and that the request for 5000
would be presented to Congress.

A VERY FUNNY THING.

People will eat all kinds Of poorly pre-.
pared food and abuse their digestive or
gans in every way imaginable until they
cannot eat the simplest things, and SO, be-
come all run down from lack Of proper
nourishment. Isn't it a funny thing that
we are a nation of dyspetics when for
twenty years patent medicine concerns,
without number, have cried their dyspepsia
cures and become millionaires without even
slightly improving our health? DR.. Angus
York Medical Association, an eminent ply
stefan, claims there is only one scientific
compound, known to physicians as Dla-
mond Digest Tablets, which can be relied
upon to cure dyspepsia and constipation so
they will stay cured. Any so-called dys-
pepsia remedy which fails to properly reg
ulate the bowels is absolutely worthless,
for when all food taken into the stomach
is thoroughly digested, there will be no
constipation or diarrhna and sour stomach,
heartburn and dyspepsia of all forms will
be a thing of the past. DR.. John McGlade.
of Zion, Mo-, says that in, all his thirty
years practice he has never found anything
to compare with Diamond Digest Tablets
in gastric ulcers, dyspepsia and catarrh of
the stomach and bowels. Isn't it about
time the people knew about this? It GER
tainly is for they are guaranteed to cure
any case of dyspepsia and restore the
