A Chinese Choir.

A church choir, complete in all its
parts and composed exclusively of Chi
nese vocalists, accompanied on the or
gan by young Chinese matron, is one
of the unique practical sights and re-
suits of Christian effort in San Fran
cisco. OF course it has required years
to accomplish this result, but in those
years the zeal and hope of Rev. /. NJ.

known neither Pickering nor wavering.
AS a result. DR.. Condit presides Sum

Presby terian church on Stockton

posed of men, women, children and in
fants in arms attend for worship. and
now sufficient advance has been made

dered by double quartette of male
and female voices. - San Francisco

NO ACCOMMODATION TRAIN.
A Party from the Back Country who
Was Rather Hard to
Please.

He had driven from backwoods hamlet
to the station, and, after making an inquiry
OF the conductor, boarded the train for Phil
adephia, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
When well on the way he stopped the
bluecoated official and asked, in all serious
ness:
"I'm sorter hungry. Will We tell me jest
where the eatin' car is?"
''There is none on this train" was the an
swer. Its short run does not require it"
"Huh" grunted the questioner. witch

mo, sir"
"Course I'd be crazy ter think yer might
have barber lad aboard!"
1--WE haven't any"
The rural gentleman subjected the con.
ductor to menacing scrutiny from head to
foot and back again. Then he drawled out
in an angry, disappointed tone of voice:
well, sufferin' corn meal! thought We
said this wuz an accommodation train!"

Deadly dangers lurk in the ground lett
bare by the departing snow. All Winter
long there have been accommodating deadly
disease germs. :.
These have been protected and kept alive
by the covering of snow and now, with the
first warm days, these death-bringing mi
crobes are awakened by the rays OF the sun,
and as the ground dries they are carried to
all corners Of the community in the dust that
is blown everywhere by the Spring winds.
The human body at this time is particu-
larly susceptible to these germs, especially
the germs of fevers. The system has been
depleted by the foregoing Winter. The blood
is sluggish and filled with impurities. The
nerves have not recovered from the tension
they have been under for the past months
The stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, the
liver are all at their worst
1t is therefore, not strange that these germs
of disease find fertile ground in which to
thrive, flourish and develop into deadly ills
Spring is the time Of year when one should
fear an attack of fever, especially when the
system is depleted, one should dread any
severe illness. The vitality is at low ebb
There is less power of resistance to throw of
disease, and it is on this account that fatal
tiles are so much greater during the Spring
months than at any other time of the year
There is but one way to ward off such
dangers, and that is to fortify the human

The Doctor Had Little Hope.

Owosso, Mich, March rs Especially
Elite Rebekah Lodge, No. 2, l. o. o.
f.. of this town, came very nearly los
ing their esteemed and capable Sec
rotary, Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan. Mrs.
Mallahan caught o severe cold last
| winter, and like many others, failed
to recognize the dangerous POSSIBLE
tiles until it had settled in her kid
neys, and left her with very severe
bearing down pains and almost con-
slant back-ache. 1t almost carried
her off. Mrs. Mallahan tells the story
this way
II caught cold last winter, which
neglected until it settled in my kid
neys, causing severe bearing down
pains and almost constant back-ache.
My health had previously been so
good, that l paid little attention to
these symptoms, until the disease
had gone so far, that my doctor en-
tertained but slight hope of my
recovery.
Fortunately, one of our Lodge
Members mentioned Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Her description of the cures
they had effected sounded like fairy
tale, but / sent for box, deciding
to give them u trial. | soon found
that she had but half told the story
of what they could do. I bless the
day first tried them, and have moth
ing but the highest praise for them
Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and not few of these
have been in Owosso and other neigh
boring Michigan towns. There seems
to he no case of kidney trouble or
back-ache that Dodd's Kidney Pills
will not cure.
They are soc. a box, six boxes for
$3.50. Buy them from your local

ply you, send to the Dodds Medicine
Company. Buffalo, N. Y.

DRESSES OF THE INDIAN GIRL
Costly Gowns That Would Make Their
White Sisters Turn Green
with Envy.

The women OF the Indian tribes oil
Oklahoma-the Kiowas, Comanches,
Apaches and Cheyennes-are more
extensively dressed than any mem
bers of their sex in the United States.
They are often forced to put their
children to bed hungry, but the will
not part with their expensive dresses,
which have been handed down as
heirlooms of the family, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Some of these dresses are worth
as much as 1900, while others range
in price from 5000 to $500. The av-
eragc price of one of these dresses
is 500. They are costly not because
they are made of silk, but because
the best of bucksllin enters into their
construction, while elk teeth are used
as ornaments and are sewed all over
the upper part of the dress.
Sometimes 200 or 300 elk teeth are
fixed upon one dress. These teeth
are fast becoming rare and expensive.
The women of these tribes own j. the
neighborhood of 100000 elk teeth, &C.
cording to figures furnished by the
Indian agents This is the greater
part of the elk teeth in the United
States. Agents for New York firms
have used every sort of persuasion 10
get hold of these teeth. They even
tried to educate the squaws that they
looked better in silk and satin, but
the Indian women held to their elk
teeth all the harder. They have q
queer superstition among the tribe
that If the elk teeth that have been
handed down generation after gem
Grafton should be sold all of the
babies of that tribe would die. These
elk teeth have been gathered by the
bucks and polished until they shine
like satin.
