The worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises
of Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by Transforming their
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs Canfill OF Troy, l. 4. says:
''For number OF years was troubled
with indigestion and dyspepsia which
grew into the worst form. Finally j
was induced to try Kodol and after us
ing four bottles / am entirely cured. ]
heartily recommend Kodol to all suffer
ers from indigestion and dyspepsia.
Take dose after meals it digests what
you eat. w. |. Benedict.

RAPID FLIGHT OF DREAMS.
Extraordinary Capacity of the ID. ain
for Grasptng Pigments in
Slumber.

An eminent public man of England
whose mental faculties had been sub
jected to too great strain and who
suffered greatly from mental depres-
sion that amounted almost to the dis
ease of melanch Ola, was told by his
physician that he must rest his brain.
He was a very busy man and scoffed
at his doctors prescription of a nap
in the middle of the day, relates a
London paper.
Finally, after much persuasion, he
agreed to this experiment.: He would
sit in his easy chair every afternoon
with his hands on his knees, holding a
dinnerbell in his hands. If he lost con-
seriousness and went to sleep he would
be willing to sleep for the period that
it took for the dinner bell to fall to the
floor and wake him.
The doctor who suggested this ar
rangement declared that the mere
mental relaxation of going to sleep, if
only for few seconds, would suffice
to save him. He invited his patient to
study the activity of the brain by no.
ticing how many things he could
dream while the dinner bell was fall
ing to the floor.
Every day for many months the man
sat down after luncheon with the din
ner bell in his hands. Every day he
went to sleep, slept for half second,
while the bell fell to the floor, and his
mental condition improved steadily,
partly because of the rest which his
mind got through losing consciousness
for second and partly because of his
interest in the extraordinary dreams
which passed through his brain while
the bell was falling.

ART AND ATHLETICS.
me outdoor Movement, 1t Il
Thought, VIII Advance the Two
Interests.

The universally increasing atten-
ton now being given, especially in
Anglo-Saxon countries, to out-of.
door sports and to physical culture
is sign of the best omen. No class
can have greater solicitude for the
furtherance of this movement than
the artists, for they cannot create
beautiful forms without having
beautiful forms around them from
which to draw inspiration. The art
of nation is but the mirror of that
nations ideals, and faithfully reflects
their slightest change, says Outing.
This new conception of the value of
athletics will add dignity, interest
and standing, making it a factor Sec
ond to none in the development of
our civilization. 1t will be a mighty
influence in the creation of a new
and superior type of men and women.
That women are growing more and
more to realize this is evidenced by
the athletic tendency of the modern
girl. II she will combine Herewith
an intelligent effort after well-bal-
anced and harmonious DEVELOPMENT
the results are bound to be satisfy
ing in the extreme, for in many WAYS
the female body is quicker than the
male to respond to training.

LEAP-YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
A Unique Society I'm Berlin Which Is
to Hold q Big Celebration
In 1904,

Herr Monteur, worthy resident
of Berlin, is over 70 years old, but
will celebrate his eighte enth birth
day on February 80, 1904 He is pres
ident of the Berlin society of leap
year children, the one organization
of it's kind in the world. The mem
bers have had no birthday celebra-
ton for eight years, the extra Feb
ruary day having been omitted in
1900 according to the rules of the
reformed calendar. Therefore the
society is planning great celebra-
ton on February 20, 1904 A COM
mittee Of arrangements is already
at work, and something extraordin-
airy may be expected, as on account
of the society's curious origin many
prominent persons have interested
themselves in the matter.
The month of February in 1886, by
the way, was even more interesting
than that which will be marked by
the unique Berlin celebration. It
had no full moon, and in that was
the most remarkable in the worlds
history, for never before had such a
thing occurred. January of that
year had two full moons, and SO had
March, but February had none.
How extraordinary this event was
may be judged from the fact that
according to the computation of
astronomers it will not occur again
for 100000 years.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
simple Methods May BE Employed
Without ResOrtfns to the Use
of the Whip

An expert states that the vice of
baking in horses is almost inva ria bly.
caused by improper breaking and
handling of the animal while young.
It is only high-strung and ill-tempered
horses that balh: and these are handled
with more success by humoring and
patience than by severe measures.
which generally make matters worse.
1t is almost impossible to follow rules
in case of this sort. What will sue
coed in one case is useless in another,
SO that driver must exercise good
udgment-"horse sense''-in handling
case. A very good treatment is to
watch the animal closely in places
where it would be likely to balk, and
driver should say whoa" then get
off and loosen or pretend to change
the harness in some way; also take up
foot and tap the shoe with stone.
Spend a few moments leisurely in this
way, and in nine cases out of ten the
animal will forget its inclination to
balk and will go on at the first bid
ding. 1t is also well to give a lump
of sugar or a handful of oats or an
apple. This will always produce bet
ter results than severe measures.
