Land crabs are a pest in Jamaica
They are black or brown and look like
woolly spider about the size of an

to the seashore for breeding. At these
times they cover the land like plague.
They are not venomous.

HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM.
Names of American Cities That Are
Sounded in Different Ways
by the People.

The suggestion has been made that
the proper pronunciation of the name
of ST. Louis should be finally deter
mined before the opening of the Louis
lana purchase fair in that city, and it
is urged the council of ST. Louis, or
even the Legislature of Missouri, should
pass upon the question, states an eX-
change of that city. 1t is pointed out
that an immemorial dispute over the
proper pronunciation of Arkansas was
1ettled by the Legislature of that state
\ 1881, when it was enacted that the
pronunciation should be 'Arkansaw.' -
and the state lived happily ever after.
The name ST. Louis was bestowed by
the French when the place was settled,
and the French pronunciation is
Loo-ee, to rhyme with the name of Ad-
miral Dewey. The English pronun-
citation is 'Lew-iss," practically rhym-
ing with the word Jewess. The sug-
gestion, once made, does not, of course,
halt lamely at ST. Louis.
When the dispute is settled there
it is proposed to ask Kentucky to de-
clare whether the name of that COM
monwealth's chief city shalt be Loo
ey-ville or Lew-is-ville. And Illinois
might settle the point whether the
name of the thriving city of Joliet shall
pronounced as the French explorer
er whom it was named di6-Zhole-
Cor whether it shall be called jolly
vt. All this is exceedingly stimulat-
NC to the mind which keeps reaching
out for wider fields, like the mind of p
man afflicted with the habit of indis-
criminate punning. There are plenty
of other towns which need attention.
The name of the city of Beaufort, in
France, is pronounced Bow-for. A
town in North Carolina, named after
it, is known as Bowfort, while one in
South Carolina is called Bu-fert. A
acted French seaport, Calais, is pro-
nounced kal-lay, while its namesake up
in Maine is called Kal-lis.

On the Verge of Bright's
Disease.-A Quick Cure
that Lasted.

CASE NO. 3O.611.-C. E. Boies. deal
er in grain and feed, sos South Water
Street, Akron, o., made the following
statement in 1896, he said: Ever
since the Civil War 1 have hadattacks
of kidney and bladder troubles, decid-
edly worse during the last two or
three years. Although 1 consulted
physicians, some of whom told me l
was verging on Bright's disease, and
l was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. AS
might be expected when my kidneys
were in a disturbed condition, there
was a distressing and inconvenient
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter &
Co.'S drug store, brought such a de-
cided change within week that I
continued the treatment. The last
attack, and it was particularly ag-
gravated, disappeared"

Bank Checks in England

1t is hard for Americans to believe
that only 40 years ago the use of
bank checks in England for sums
less than $25 was unknown. It is
still harder to believe the statement
made in English papers that the late
chancellor of the exchequer supposed
that it was the rule still. He was
cot alone in his ignorance. At least
two liberal statesmen of cabinet
eank shared his delnsion. Did you
Eer know a check drawn for less
f)an five pounds?' was the question
one of these gentlemen put to a col
league on the front opposition bench
during the course of the debate. 1t
seemed: Incredible to- anyone ac-
luainted with modern business
methods that such ignorance should
nave prevailed in high quarters

FALL1BILIT1Es OF SCIENCE.
Lord Kelvin Was Puzzled Over the
Impossible Angle of a Ladder
Which Couldn't Fall.

AT a certain favorite resort in London a
conversation among a number of financiers
turned upon cable shares and wireless tel
egraphy. One confirmed cable worshipper
quoted Lord Kelvin opinion that the COM
panies had no need to be alarmed at the prog
ress of Marconi, relates a London paper.
oh exclaimed another, Lord Kelvin be
hanged! 1t is not the first time he has made
mistake. Why, / remember years ago,
when he was plain Billy Thomson, he was
put in the country for ride with his brother.
You know he was always like the old fish
bag that O'Connell tackled. He slept on
a parallelogrsn, shaved with a spheroid,
watched the process of an elhpse and gem
orally took his mathematics to bed with him.
Anyhow ne never passed anything without
making calculation about it. This time it
was ladder standing against wall at an
angle which according to all known laws
ought to be impossible, especially as it stood
on smooth concrete at the bottom. He
called his brothers attention. They both
got down, took measurements, made endless
calculations, and considered various theo-
ries to account for the absence of slip At
last they fixed on some far-fetched explaha-
ton just as the farmer hove in sight Then
they casually called his attention to the
strange circumstance. oh, ay,' says the old
man, the ladder? Yes, put it there for my
hens, and il. pretty tight with the heldfast
1t the top!"

SOLEMN VISAGED TOLEDO.
The Famed City of Spain Is Said to
Be in the Last Stages of
Decademce

Spain: says correspondent, is seen
at its best and at its worst in solemn
visaged Toledo. At it's best. for not
only old CASTLE, but all SPANS, may
be sampled in this museum of the
antique and the picturesque. At it's
worst, Tor conservatism here has be-
come 1etrogressive, and progress
seems hopeless. In industrial. work
aday Barcelona; in gay, imaginative
Seville, and even in gossipping, pleas
ure loving Madrid, the opimist NAV
balance causes and effects and fore
cast hopefully a trend of future
progress; but not in this ruined
stronghold of Spanish power. There
are no signs of termination in this
city of lost causes and spent forces
The famous Toledo blades will never
be forged anew. Swarms of chatter
ing beggars in rags make up the rem
nant of the city of imperial might
and grandeur. Herds of goats are
pastured among the rocks and thick
cts of prickly pear. Somnolent don
keys with water jars SILVER as they
pass one another on the sharp cob

accustomed are they to a counter

is in the last stages of decadence.
with thriftless, unemployed popula-
ton dependent upon the charities of
Corpus Christi and clamoring for
doles from tourists. Reform cannot
come like another conquering Cid to
bring redemption to worn and en-
battled Toledo. In the home of Ger
vantes national regeneration seems
as ironical as the comic adventures
of Don Quixote.

ST. Jacobs Oil,

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want OF proper treatment in
The carrier stages, there Is nothing good
as DIR. August koenig's Hamburg Breast
lea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the. front. of, the
throat, from close up under the chin to well
down to the top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and, as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power of ST.. Jacobs Oil en-
ables 1T to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more diff
lcult. As these adhesions become inflamed
and enlarged, st. Jacobs Oil causes such ad-
heslons to break away, making expectora-
Ion easier and more free. DR.. August
koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly
and very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
comforting and quoting, stops the cough
and relieves the breathing. This manner
Of treatment land there is no other two
remedies that will work together so sue
,essfully) reaches the difficulty from the
outside and the inside at the same time
st. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad-
heslon, and assists DR.. August Koenig' S
Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing. The above remarks apply with equal
force in cases of asthma, Group, whooping
cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have st.
Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea always in the house in or
der that they may be promptly used in the
first stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity, and complications
take place with equal suddenness.

Precautions of Surgeon.

1t is an object lesson in godlines,
to see surgeon washing his hands
after performing an operation. He
works, of course, with sleeves rolled
up to the elbow so that the washing
extends from the crazy bone to the
tip of the finger nail. First. there
is a hard scrubbing with plain SOAP
and sterilized water. This is fol-
lowed by swabbing with tincturc
of green soap and sterilized water
Then comes genuine securing with
equal parts of quick lime and soda
in sterilized water and finally rims
ing in solution Il to 2,O0O) of BIZ
chloride of mercury. Without these
four separate washings no surgeon
would think of venturing out to
scatter germs of disease.-American
Medicine.

MIND AND BODY AFFECTED.
Consumption Has Caused an Extraor-
binary Deterioration Among
the Negroes -

s The susceptibility of negroes to con-
sumption has apparently undergone
remarkable change within the last
third of a century and lung diseases
have become SO prevalent among them
assto justify the belief that it may soon
be veritable scourge to the race
During the days of slavery the disease
was so seldom found among them that
they were considered almost immune
TO it. In fact, some. of the older writer's
took the stand sqnarely and asserted
that consumption was unknown in the
race From being thus so rare as to
be almost unknown,'it has in a-single
generation become so prevalent and
so fatal that now more negroes in the
south are dying of tuberculosis than
Of any other disease. While it exists
among all classes, it is in the densely
populated quarters of towns and cit
les, where they live in -oyercrowded
:, and poorly ventilated houses, that it
is found to be most frequent. In insti-
tutions where large numbers are more
or less closely confined the ravages
of this disease are becoming truly
alarming.
The following quotation from a pa
per on the Future of the Colored
Race in the United States" published
some years ago by DR.. Eugene Carson,
is interesting in this connection. He
says: 'All the information which |
have been able to obtain has satisfied
me that the race was healthy one,
even healthier in the main, than the
whites. Since the war things have
been reversed; the colored race as
race is not a healthy and robust one;
their vitality is in state of unstable
equilibrium; liable from any undue
strain to give away"
Statistics from institutions having
both white and colored patients will
show that the latter is less able to re-
sist the onslaught of disease. DIR.
Mitchell, the superintendent of the
Mississippi state insane hospital, in h
last report says: ''There is one great
difference between the races as re-
CARDS mortality and, although our
treatment, both dietetic and medicinal,
is the same, our loss from deaths
among the colored far exceeds that
sustained by the whites.''
Turning from the physical condition
OF the negro, let US now investigate
the mental stability Of the race. Since
1860 the negroes of the south have un-
dergone such a change in their ten
dency to the development of mental
diseases as is shown by no other peo-
pie in a similarly short period of time
in the whole history of mankind. L
will take the statistics of our own
state, Georgia, a typical southern
state, as they will proba bly, be of more
interest to this society than would
those of the whole United States. In
40 years the total negro population in
the state has been little more than
doubled, while the number of insane
has increased twentyfold. No other
such rapid and radical change in the
mental stability of a race is recorded
IN history. This outburst of insanity
becomes still more remarkable when
we consider that for generations prior
to 1860 the colored people had been
free from mental disease. Tt has de-
veloped, therefore, without the slight
est hereditary trait

So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of
325 So. College ST., Nashville,
Tenn, of Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and never
during the lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
SO great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent come the glad
tidings of woman's sufferings relieved
by it, and thousands upon thousands
of letters are pouring in from grateful
women saying that it will and posi-
lively does cure the worst forms of
female complaints.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all wO-
men who are puzzled about
their health to write her at Lynn.
Mass, for advice. Such CORE.
spOndence is seen by women only,
and no charge is made.

Three Years After.

Mr.. Boies says in 1899: 'In the
spring of. 1896 I made public state
ment Of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of terrible aching in the kidneys,
in the small of my back, in the mus
cles of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have gone
by can conscientiously say there have
been no occurrences of my old trouble
My confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills

my personal experience but from the
experience of many others in Akron
