PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER
ESTED.

Northport, Mich, Dec. 9.-The med
ica1 men are just now eagerly dis
cussing a most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, of
Northport. has for years been vic
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement of this has caused a pro-
found sensation among the physi-
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.

WERE FOND OF THE WEED.
Famous Men and Women who Were
Partial to the Use of
Tobacco.

The effect of tobacco smoking upon
the intellect has been eXhaustively
discussed by physicians and others,
and the position taken by some that
it is absurd to ailege that smoking
is Supplying to the faculties seems
to be fortified by a mass of evidence,
and in this connection it may not
be amiss to consider some admitted
y great literary minds, says the De-
troit Free Press. Goethe hated to-
bacco and Heinrich Heine shared the
same dislike. Balzac, Victor Hugo
and Dumas did not smoke, but AL
fred de Nlusset, Eugene Sue, Nine.
George Sand" Merimee and Paul
de Saint Victor were ardent users
of the weed. Spencer in the Fairy
Queen calls it divine tobacco" Will
liam Lilly, Queen Eliza beth's court
poet, speaks of the "holy herb Nico-
tian;" Byron's name for it is Sub
lime tobacco;" Thackeray sings:
Meanwhile I will smoke every CAMS
ter and tipple my ale H. the shade"
Thomas Bailey Aldrich says: 81
lounge and blow white rings of
smoke
James Russell Lowell had written
an ode of thanks to Charles Eliot
Norton ''for certain cigars" and calls
it tobacco, sacred herb" Charles
Lamb was willing 'fox thy sake, To-
bacco, L would do anything but die"
Delightful Charles Kingsley's eulo-
GUM of smoking is well known and
has been largely quoted.
Tom Hood, of the Song of the
Shirt" says: Some sigh for this
or that, my wishes don't go far. The
world may wag at will. So 1 have
my cigar
Lord Tennyson was an inveterate
smoker and so was Thomas Carlyle.
The story of Tennyson calling on Car
lyle one evening and sitting in SOL
emn silence smoking for hours is well
known. Man Alfred said Carlyle
as he showed the poet laureate out,
1--WE have ha'en graund nicht. Come
back again soon" Carlyle, like Ten
nyson, did not care for a cigar, but
kept a pipe in his mouth most of his
waking hours, and Thackeray, like
Burns, loved to get away by himself
and enjoy the favor of rank pipe.
James Payn, the novelist, cannot
remember the time when he did not
smoke. Mark IVAN at the age OF
80 used to smoke 800 cigars a month.
George Augustus Sala bears en-
phatic testimony in favor of smok-
ing. The allegation" he says, ''as
to smoking Supplying a mans fac
ulties, or bunting his energy, take
to be mainly nonsense
Oliver Wendell Holmes says of the
meerschaum: HE who inhales its
vapors takes a thousand whiffs in
a single breath; and one cannot touch
it without awakening the old joys
that hang around it, as the smell OF
flowers clings to the dresses of the
daughters of the house of Farina."
1t has been said that James Russell
| Lowell used a number of ordinary
pipes in succession and lay each

smoked down. Later he would gath
er the ''dottels," or, as some smokers
call them, the "heels," from some
half dozen of these pipes and cram
them into an enormous tube and have
a real smoke" as he expressed it.
Another distinguished Harvard pro-
fessor once "swore off, for six
months and kept strictly to his self
imposed obligation. He remarked, at
the end of the time, when he resumed
smoking, that his appetite had been
good, he had slept well and his health
generally had not suffered, but he
said, 81 lost six months of happiness -
and ever afterwards he smoked like
a chimney.
Both Carlyle and Tennyson smoked
pipes, and Tennyson's writing den
was supplied with two boxes, one
with a supply of new church war
dens" and the other to receive the
broken fragments of the once-smolled
pipes, for he never used the same
one twice, although an incessant
smoker.
Harriet Martineau used to smoke
big cigars on a back stoop with
Wordsworth ''in the cleaning" of the
famous Lake district" of England.
Dickens both "snuffed" and smoked,
and Mime. Blavatsl1y, the author of
Iris UnveiIed' and the high priestess
of theosophy, was a veritable cigar
cite fiend.

British Praise American Book.

Commenting upon the annual report
of the United States bureau of animal
industry, the London Times says that
though the work appears somewhat
late there can be nothing but praise
for this grand volume, which is worthy
of the greatest bureau of animal in
dustry in the world. The contents
show that the interests of American
stock breeders are well looked after
by the department of agriculture at
Washington. The numerous articles
in the volume, says the Times, are all
of high practical interest.

KILLED BY AMATEURS
40 business for Men with Travelling
GaHeries-PeopIe Take Their
Own Pictures.

''Hope you will give US your trade
next year." said the photo supply
dealer to the man who had been run
ming a photograph gallery on wheels
through the country districts of Long
Island The man had just paid his
bill, says the New York Tribune.
''There isn't going to be any next
year for me- said the photographer
sadly. 1--WE sold the old girl He
was referring to the wagon gallery.
''She's being used as a lunch wagon
out in Flushing
you don't mean to say that you
have given up the business" ex-
claimed the dealer. ''Why, let's see,
you've been at it at least ten years.
What is the matter?"
Business is killed for good by the
amateur photography craze" replied
the .ex-traveler. Every other 'coun-
try jake has a camera of his own and
is swapping everything in sight. A
picture is just a picture to the coun-
try people. If they can get a picture
for nothing from friend who owns
a camera they are not coming to the
gallery to PAy out good money for
thing, even to lowering prices, but it
does no good.
Gwen the tintype men who have
shops at the beaches are suffering
from the same craze. People bring
their cameras to the shore, take their
own pictures, and many of them. The
man with a mild jag who insists on
having it photographed that he may
never forget it, and the 'greenest
visitors from the backwoods, are
about all the tintype man has left
Lots of the boys are not going tc
start up next year."
"And what are you going to do?'
| asked the dealer.
"Peddle cameras and supplies
through the country districts and
persuade the rest of the countryside
to become fiends.''

THE PIGEONS PROBATION.
Seeing a Baby Bird Fail They Built
a Gate to Keep Their
own In.

A gentleman had two pairs Of
pigeons living in dovecotes placed side
by side. In each pigeon family there
was a father and a mother bird ard
two little ones. On a certain day the
parents in one dovecote went away to
get food, and while they were gone
one of their little birds fell out of the
dovecote and down to the ground. The
poor baby bird was not much hurt,
strange to say, but it could not get
back, for it was too young to fly, says
the Pittsburg Post.
Now the parents in the other dove
cote were at home when this hap
pened, and it seemed as if they said to
themselves: Gone of our babies might
fall in just that way. We must do
something to make the dove-cote
safer" And then this wise and care
full father and mother went to work.
They few about until they found some
small sticks. These they carried to
their own dovecote and there in the
doorway they built a cunning little
fence of sticks. Not so high but tina
the little pigeons could look over it,
but high enough to keep them from
ever falling out of the dovecote, as
their little neighbor had done. The
owner of the pigeons, who had seen the
birding fall and had put it back into
its dovecote, watched the birds the
whole time as they gathered the sticks
and built the fence around the door
way.

Egyptian Arithmetic round.

A book was unearthed in Egypt re-
Gently which shows that the Egyptians
understood arithmetic over 5000 years
ago. 1t is a volume evidently intended
for the teaching of pupils at home.
The leaves are papyrus and are in an
excellent state of preservation. Ex-
plOrers estimate that the book was
made about the year 100 B. c., or be-
fore the time Moses led the children of
Israel out of the house of bondage. In
the elementary principles of arith-
metic the system disclosed is not I'M
like that of to-day. Examples show that
the main operations of the Egyptians
with entire units and fractions were
made by means of addition and multi
plication. Subtraction and division
were not known in their present form,
but correct results were obtained. Ex-
amples in equations were also found in
the book.-Indiana Weekly.
