Largest Mill Building.

To Manchester, N. H., belongs the
distinction of possessing the largest
mill building in the world, the struc-
ture being the new print works de-
ptrtment of the Manchester Mills Cor
poration. The mill stands on the bank
of the Merrimack river and its total
length on the river front, in a straight
line, is no feet; then at each end is a
wing running at an angle, which is 800
feet long each, making total length
Of 1,430 feet. The average width is 100
feet and the total floor space is 706,-
95S square feet, or upwards of 16 acres.
The plant is four stories in height, be-
sides the basement. In it's construction
1000 cubic yards of stone were used
in the foundation, besides some 1000
cubic yards of dressed stone for the
window and door stills. It also re-
quired about 100000 brick and some
thing like 100000 feet of lumber.
Work on the structure was begun last
fall and it is now ready for the placing

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. E. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith has
been great sufferer from rheumatism.
He was SO bad that he could not sleep
for the great pain in his arms and
shoulders. He had been afflicted for
years, but lately he was so mucn worse,
that he thought he would have to give
up his shop altogether.
Then strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new
medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
said to be cure for Rheumatism. He
commenced to use them, and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is a well man today, and
entirely free from any symptom Of
rheumatism.
To say that he is thankful, is putting
it very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve credit
for having cured this very severe and
almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases of Brights Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, rheumatism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having
been given up by our best doctors.

Many a man with eight or nine chill

that sometimes they look rather loung-

youths hunger never quite satisfied at
the crowded home table! At harvest
or haymaking they often work seven

To find a land where lunatics are
successful artisans, tillers of the sol
and builders of railways, one needs to
travel no farther than to Willard, In
Seneca county, New York. In the
Willard state hospital for the insane
the inmates make their own clothing
and shoes, manufacture brooms and
tinware, and perform much of the or
binary labor of the institution. They
work the farm Of 1000 acres which is
connected with the institution, and
raise all the food necessary for the
hundreds of patients there, besides
putting up enough canned fruit to sup
ply all the other state insane asylums.
But the greatest work performed by
the patients at Willard was the build
ing of the railroad which connects 1t
with the Lehigh Valley road, six miles
distant. Nearly all of the actual work
in the building Of this railway was
done by the lunatics, and done we'll.
This idea of giving to the inmates
of the institution steady work, and as
much of 1t as possible out of doors,
has had a beneficial effect upon them.
In the Pennsylvania hospital for the
insane the inmates do some creditable
work in modelling in clay, producing
pottery and busts of really good work.
manship and artistic design. In Great
Britain and some other European
countries system Of reasonable work
for the inmates of insane asylums has
been introduced with excellent results.
The first institution for the treatment
of insanity as a disease was estab-
lished in this country through the eff
forts of BENJAMIN Franklin in ISL.
England had no such institution until
Al years later, and France followed 43
years later. Great changes have been
made in the treatment of the insane
in the last so years. Half century
ago 40 per cent Of the patients were
under physical restraint Now it is
said that there are only about 1 per
cent so Chicago Journal.

He stands beside a throne of golden

And up the steep steps of the royal
throng
The burdened forests climb like count
less slaves
Laden with gold. He stands and heeds
them not;
Meanwhile his hand, with air abstract

From the Astounding tribute Of the
earth
Scatters imperial largesse. All her
fields
Are his; they own their lord; his
barns are full,
His rivers run with wine, and his red
plains
Shout with the vintage. Yet he stands

His golden throne, and looketh up to

And sigheth in the melancholy winds.
And smileth sweeter sadness. He hath
learned
The lesson OF power; therefore MS

Therefore there is no light in the sunk

Which day and night reproach the sun
