ADMIT SHE'S A GOOD BOAT.

GLASGOW, September 29.-Clyde
yachtsmen frankly admit that the Co
lumbia Is a maryelously good boat,
They consider the fact that two-year
old yacht should have hung so close
to the counter of the Shamrock II.
when running free makes the contest
more difficult even for the British.
Yachtsmen and designers alike declare
that If the Shamrock III. is to win the
cup she ought to have beaten the Co.
lumbia by nearer than three minutes
on the turn 10 the windward.
Surprise is expressed that the chal-
lenger should not have saved the time
allowance in the run before the wind.
but it is hoped that in the triangular
course her reaching powers will gain
for her the victory.

Eject Of Altitude on tho Blood.

The effect of altitude on the blood
has been studied in New Mexico with
interesting and perhaps valuable re-
suits. DR.. Maltby undertook the work
at the suggestion of the director OF
the biological laboratory of the Uni
versity Of New Mexico, and the study,
interrupted for time by the death
Of DR.. Maltby, has been continued by
Prof. Weinzel. 1t was found, a cor
respondent of the Denver Republican
reports, that the blood corpuscles are
greatly increased when a person from
low altitude reaches higher one, but
this effect, with the powerful stimulus
involved, is only transitory. Observa.
tions showed that while persons who
have long resided in New Mexico have
no more corpuscles than others in
lower regions, these same persons may
renew or repeat the original effect Of
altitude by sort residence at the sea
level or elsewhere. What amounts to
the same thing is the fact that one
by residing at 1000 or 5000 feet may
secure all the powerful stimulating ef-
feet Of the altitude ON the blood by
periodical visits to the altitude of San
ia Fe or Magdalena, 1000 feet higher.
In these cases the effect is greatly in
creased by out-of-door life and exer-
else, because there is an intimate re-
lation between the activity of the lungs
and this blood stimulation. 1t was also
found that rabbits kept in confinement
would show the same increase on be-
ing carried from albuquerque to Camp
Whitcomb. 1t is thought that the re-
suit Of the inquiry may have an i'm
portant bearing on the treatment Of
consumption.-New York Post.

FRESH-WATER SAILORS.

Their Lives on tho Great lakes Are
Full OF Danger.
III any man thinks the American
sailor is thing of the past he should
spend while on the great lakes,
said c. F. Bailey of Duluth, Mimi
THE American fresh-water sailor is
every bit as picturesque parsonage
as was the salt Of early days, who
carried our merchant flag into every
port of the world. His life is just as
full Of hardship and just as full of
dangers" quotes the Washington Post.
There is large fleet Of three and
four masted schooners on the lakes,
and stories Of the wrecking of them
come will every big storm. A nastier
body of water than Lake Erie when it
comes ON to blow can be found no.
where and some of the experiences Of
the life-saving crews along its shores
ore the most thrilling in the history
Of the service. The men who take the
big steamers, of course, have not much
of romance in their lives, but there are
enough of the old sailing vessels LEFT
TO keep considerable army Of men
employed. Any skipper who can nav
Igate schooner from Duluth to Buff
falo is good enough sailor to sail
around the world and he will do as
we'll as the next man to take care Of
his vessel in the toughest sea the At
lantic ever was able to blow up"

A DOCTOR THIS Time.

Portland, May 6th.-Dr. E. A. Rose
a practising physician, formerly Of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed. He had Diabetes, and six Of
his brother doctors were in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medl-
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they we're at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up. she insisted that
as last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose. the tide
turned in his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to-
day.
This case and Its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation Of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before 1t,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodds Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has its origin in the
Kidneys, the use Of this wonderful
medicine Is beco~-'rg almost universal.

w. l.. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity OF his factory to 5000
pairs of shoes per day. The addition
will add 10000 square feet of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time new 400 horsepower engine and
an additional $50 horsepower boiler
will be installed, which will afford ade-
Quate power for the present and an
other addition to the factory, which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the first
of July 1t will be on an output Of 500
dozen or 5000 pairs of shoes per day.
and the weekly pay roll, exclusive Of
Office help, superintendent, foremen.
ETC., will be $4,000 per week. The
Douglas statesmen on the road are SELL
ing rs per cent more goods than last
season. The increased sales Is the d.
rect result Of good shoemaking and ex-
tensive advertising. The advertising
expenditure Of Mr.. Douglas is now
larger than at any period of his busi-
ness, and this Is to be still further in
creased. Beginning this week half
page advertisements of the Douglas
shoe will appear in all the principal
newspapers Of the large cities, as we'll

Salt Water Fish.

The number of species of fishes liv-
ing habitually in the salt waters Of
the world can only be approximately
estimated. probably about ten thou
sand. Those classed as "shore fishes"
live, as rule, close to the surface
and near the land, and are well known
to the salt water angler in his outings
as the weakfish, striped bass, kingfish.
etc. OF the shore fishes there are about
four thousand species. The "pelagic
fishes" or those which inhabit the up
per waters of the seas, are relatively
few in number. The "deep-sea fishes"
which live in depths varying from two
hundred fathoms to twenty-five hun
dred fathoms. cannot be even approxi-
mately estimated, as new species are
being constantly discovered.-Field

WHERE LIFE IS PRIMITIVE.
Bride and Groom Had Never Seen
Steam Car,

steam Car.
There are plenty of places where life
Is very primitive. The Washington
Star tells this story: Il witnessed Q
marriage the other day in which the
bride and groom both live within fifty
miles Of Washington, yet neither has
ever seen steam or electric car
said a drummer to a Star reporter
You will no doubt be surprised when
/ tell you there are hundreds of people
living over in Virginia who have
never been to town. But to the mar
riage. During q recent trip one of
the friends of the groom met me in
country store and cordially extended
an invitation to take a drive across
country to witness the 'hitchin'.'
very gladly availed myself of the op-
portunity, and We arrived at our des-
tination in good time. The neighbor.
hood was well represented, the male
contingent being congregated in the
barn, where barrel of hard cider
was on tap. We were soon notified
that the ceremony was about to take
place, and we all filed into the best
room. l shall never forget the ap-
pearance OF the contracting parties.
The groom was an understood though
powerfully built young fellow. He was
dressed in pair Of jean overalls,
stiff shirt, no collar, fancy, old-time
vest. but no coat. The bride, who was
at least six feet in height, was dressed
in calico wrapper, a piece Of pink
ribbon around her neck, a little old
fashioned bonnet on her head, but
barefooted. After the ceremony the
happy couple received the congratu-
1ations Of the assembled company, ev-
cry man and woman present kissing
the bride. Pretty soon one of the
guests brought out violin and dane
ing was INDUCED in the rest of the
evening. When I expressed my sur
prise that the bride should be bare
footed was told that there were lots
Of women in that section that had new
er known what it was to wear shoes"

Quail Raising In Indiana,

Northern Indiana farmers are ex-
perimenting in the domestication Of
quail and the results are reported as
highly gratifying. Nearly every farm
or In that section has from one to three
coveys on his farm and is giving them
kind and careful attention. During
the snow season the birds were fed
regularly. On some of the farms they
have become so t:-1e that they roost
with the barnyard fowl.
