A Blacks mith's Strange Experience.

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 a new
medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
said to be a 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 or
Rheumatism.
To say that he is thankful, is putting
1t 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 Bright's 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.

and in 1891 to 4,407,750 1t is now
nearly so per cent less than 1t was in
1S41 in which time the population of
England and Wales has more than
doubled. Ireland, which at the time
of the Union, a hundred years ago,
contained third of the population Of
the United Kingdom. now contains less
than ninth.
Of course the decline in the popula-
ton of Ireland does not mean that the
Irish race is becoming extinct. 1t
means that its center of gravity has
been shifted across the sea. There are
probably twice as many Irishmen IN
the United States as there are in Ire
land. While Irish blood flows in and
invigorates nearly every race on this
continent. Every city in Ireland can
be matched with a greater population
in some city in America. And. on a
smaller scale, there are new IrelandS
in Canada and Australia. 1t is worth
while for English statesmen to con-
slider the question why it is that their
little Ireland is unhappy and rebellious
while the greater Ireland in America
is contented and loyal.

Prof. Starr >Sfurflec Students

According to Professor Frederick
Starr, the noted anthropol ogist of the
University of Chicago, . man who
parts his hair in the middle displays
unmistakable evidence Of a degener-
ate instinct in his nature. The profess
sor made this declaration to his class
at the University recently, in a lee
ture in which he warned the students
against latter day fads, such as wear
ing shirt waists and tattooing their
persons.
These customs he branded as indica-
lions of the degeneracy of our modern
civilization. His remarks caused quite
stir among the young men Of his
class, several of whom are prominent
athletes of the University and comb
their hair in the approved football
fashion.
Parting the hair in the middle, the
new shirtwaist for men and tattooing
the person are evidences of the alarm
ing growing degeneracy of our modern
civilization" said the professor in the
course Of lecture on tattooing. mo
normal person will indulge in any of
these haYlts.
These things are not criminal in
themselves, he continued, serenely
obvious to the expressions on the
faces of a large part of his audience,
"Dut if person parts his hair in the
middle, or tattoos his body. or wears
one Of these new shirt waists it is

Lost His Suit.

Here is the strange experience OF .
North Front street merchant, says the
Philadelphia Record. Prior TO get
ting married about two months ago.
he had his tailor make him very fine
suit for evening dress. The material
was of the best imported broadcloth
and the suit was lined throughout with
the best silk. The fit was an excel
lent one, and the young benedict was
very proud of this swallow-tan suit
Soon after returning from his honey
moon a very intimate friend OF his
bachelor days called and asked for the
loan Of the suit, saying that he wanted
to attend a reception, and would be
sure to return the clothes promptly.
The merchant found it impossible to
refuse and granted his friends re-
quest. Three weeks elapsed and the
clothes had not been returned. The
merchant called at his friends house
to inquire the cause. His surprise may
be imagined when he was told that his
friend had been dead for almost a
week. After expressing his sorrow he
gently preached the subject OF his
dress suit why, we found the suit in
his closet and buried him in it." was
the reply. Now Mr.. Merchant is
mourning dear friend and an expen-
sive suit of clothes.

pected of any completely in the plot,

cred, undressed and retired to bed as
usual But Rose and Catharine sat
down beside their chamber door and
waited the result of their operations
with great impotence
Meanwhile, Mr.. Cowley. sitting over
his cigar below, little dreamed how
his nearest and dearest were conspir-
ing ruthlessly against his peace o:
mind. The ghostly cradle was silent
at last: his cigar was a fine one, and
his toddy was grateful to the taste.
Sitting here. monarch of all he sur
veyed. he thought over the events OF
his visit to the agent, and the promise
which he had drawn from him about
the drains. +
"A clever dodge that" he unused
approvingly to himself. Nothing can
be easier than to set the men at work
among the pipes in the cellar, and To
take them on till they are under the
pantry, and be hanged to it. I'll stop
that noise or my name isn't Cowley!
People shall not have it to say that

frightened at one myself. Ghosts, in

poor thing cannot rest in his grave
till something he's got or omitted 10
do on earth, has been done for him.
Very we'll, What could be easier than
to say to the troubled spirit. Make
yourself quite easy; l will attend to
it at once, Don't stay out Of your
grave a moment longer, for fear that
you should take cold, my dear sir?'
OF course, any sensible ghost, being
addressed in such a sensible manner,
would Immediately return to his grave
and stay there That is what call
the citizens of another world. They
would appreciate it am sure they
would-Oh, Lord. what's that?"
He might as well ask the question:
for his flow of self-congratulation was
suddenly checked by a low, hollow
groan outside the door. He listened
intently. The groan came again, but
louder than before.
There is a noise,-I'm not dream
ing," he unused, while his hair stood
on his head like quilts upon the fret
full porcupine, What on earth can
it be? Mrs. Mccarthy walking in her
sleep, I suppose" he said with trem-
bling lips, and face white with the
fear he was ashamed of, which he
could not control.
The door swung open-a gigantic
black man entered, leading by the
hand bleeding nun.

FEEDING CHILDREN.
Juveniles Like Vegetables and Pudding
ff Properly Prepared.


Sir Henry Thompson says thai few
children like that part of the meal
which consists of meat; but prefer the
pudding, the fruit, the vegetables, If
well dressed which unhappily is often
the case. Many children manifest great
repugnance to meat at first, and are
coaxed and even scolded by anxious
mothers until the habit of eating is
acquired. | am satisfied that if the
children followed their own taste in
this matter the result would be a gain
in more ways than one. Certainly If
meat did not appear in the nursery
until the children sent for it, it would
be rarely seen there, and the young
ones would, as a rule, thrive better
on milk and eggs, with the varied pro-
duce of the vegetable kingdom. Never
allow children to go to bed hungry
at night. A slice of bread and butter,
a few crackers, glass of warm milk,
and cup of warm beef tea are bene-
fetal and conducive to restful sleep.
All physicians concur that it is better
to go to sleep on a moderately full
stomach than an empty one For this
reason a short afternoon nap is ex-
tremely beneficial, especially if the
heaviest meal of the day is eaten at
noon. This allowing the processes OF
digestion to go on quietly is natural
and healthy-resting the body and re-
lieving the BRAIN

Mrs. COwley looked exceedingly
guilty when her lord and master en-

business, did not observe it. He laid
aside his wrappings. called for hot

down by the fire with an air of a man
who had earned his repose and meant
thoroughly to enjoy it.

hands in horror
"And why not pray?" was the sharp
reply. IF We go sooner We shall have

as if we stay for fifteen or sixteen
months they cannot have the face to

Mrs. COwley groaned
Besides, l have been talking with
the agent about the drains, and he has

Mrs. Cowley only sighed.

While riding home he bethought him
that a. two-handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this. so his majesty had
a two-handled cup made at the royal
potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his establishment, the
maid (having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful
of the kings cup) presented it to him
by holding it herself by each of its
handles. At once the happy idea struck
the king Of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out of
three handles l shall be able TO get
one!" Hence the loving cup.
