BRIGHr's DISEASE CURED,

Sullivan, Ill, March 31st.-Mrs. Kitty
F. Seaney was very i'll for months and
notwithstanding the best possible med
ical attendance she got no better. The
doctors said she had Bright's Disease
and gave her little or no hope of ever
being well again.
She suffered great pain in her back
which nothing seemed able to relieve
till at last encouraged by the reputa-
ton Dodd's Kidney Pills have attained
in the community as a cure for Kidney
Diseases she began to use them.
The result was surprise both to
Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for
soon after the treatment was com
menced her kidneys threw off large
quantities of dark diseased matter and
she improved rapidly. She used'in all
ten boxes. and has completely recov'
cred good health without pain or symp
toms of the Bright's Disease.

The Coronation spoon.

Probably the only existing relic OF
the old regalia which will be used at
the coronation of Edward VII. is the
amounting spoon. 1t is of pure gold,
with four pearls in the broadcast
part of the handle; the bowl is fine
ly chased, and of very curious an
tique workmanship. Into this spoon
the consecrated oil is poured from
the ampuIla, which is in the form of
an eagle with extended wings upon
a pedestal of pure gold, finely chased.
The head screws off at the middle
of the neck, for the convenience of
putting in the oil, which is poured
out through the beak. This golden
vessel is capable of containing six
ounces of oil; its height is nine
inches; its breadth, from the points
of the wings, seven inches, and the
weight about nine ounccs.-London

quested the bureau to take special
pains to make the new series partic-
ularly attractive and distinctive. 1t is
suggested that the Pan-American
stamps were extremely satisfactory
from an artistic standpoint and the
hope is expressed that the new set may
be equally fine specimens of American
handiwork.
1t is proposed that thing in con
nection with the series shall be new.
New designs for borders will be drawn,
new shades of color employed and the
new stamps may be of different size
and shape. The post Office department
has requested the bureau to secure, If
possible, new portraits, and better ones
If obtainable.
1t may have escaped public notice.
but the faces of Franklin, Washington
and Jackson, on the one, two and three
cent stamps are side views, as are also
jefferson and Perry on the 50-cent and
one dollar. 1t is the desire of the de-
partment that the new portraits for
these values, at least, showing the SUBJ
jects facing three-quarters or seven
eighths full, shall be substituted.
1t is proposed that above the face the
words "Series 1902" shall appear in
small type, and below the name of the
subject with date of birth and death.
The ten-cent special delivery stamp
will be slightly changed in design and
the color will be orange instead of blue.
Since 1861 but two presidents have
not been honored by placing their por-

In the first entire series, in 1851,
Washington appeared upon all the de-
nominations save two-Franklin on
the one and Jackson on the five. In the
1870 series Stanton appeared upon the
seven-cent, Scott upon the "A, and Ham
ilton upon the 30-cent.
All have been permanently suppressed
ed or the denomination abolished.
Zachary Taylor appeared upon the five
cent value in 1875 when the value was
created, but disappeared in 1882, Civ
ing way to Garfield.
1t is not unlikely when another new
design for postal cards shall be adopt

SOME NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.
The Late President Harrison's Face
to Appear ON Overwhelmingly
ON Postal Card.

The bureau of engraving and print
ing has received instructions from the
post Office department to prepare de-
signs for an entire new series of post
age stamps.
The question of a new series was dis
cussed in the autumn after the death
of President Mckinley, and the impress
sion prevailed then that when the new
set was ordered the. portrait of Presi-
dent Mckinley would adorn one of the
denominations. Undoubtedly that
B was the plan, but the department de-
cided to place the portrait of the late
president upon new postal card of
special design, and this removed him,
in sense. fromthe list of eligibles.
A new face will appear upon one of
the stamps; that of the late President
Harrison. In order that there might
be place for his portrait, new de-
nomination was created-a 13-cent
stamp.
There will be prac tically no demand
for a stamp Of this value for domes-
tic use, but for foreign use there is
place for it. Thirteen cents is the
cost of sending registered letter
weighing not more than one-half
ounce to any country within the postal
union. Heretofore it has been neces-
sary to use five and an eight-cent
stamp. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison has
been requested to furnish the depart
ment photograph or portrait of Gen.
Harrison, which meets her approval,
for the purpose proposed.
Aside from the introduction of Gen.
Harrison's face into the postal gallery
of notables, only one other change
will be made inthe series. Commodore
Perry, whose face has adorned the
90-cent stamp from 1870 down to 1894
and the one dollar stamp from 1894 to
the present date, will be superseded
upon the one-dollar denomination by
another famous sea-fighter. Admiral
Farragut. Commodore Perry disap-
pears permanently.
As at present constituted the full set
is as follows: One cent, green, face of
Franklin; two-cent, carmine, face of
Wasbington; three-cent, purple, face
of Jackson; four-cent, dark brown,
face of Lincoln; ive-cent, chocolate,
face of Grant; six-cent, red-brown,
face of Garfield; eight-cent, mauve,
face of Sherman; fen-cent, light
brown, face of Webster; 15-cent, dark
blue, face of Clay; 50-cent. orange, face
of Jefferson; one-dollar, black, face OF
Perry; two-dollar, sapphire, face OF
Madison; five-dollar, dark green, face
of Marshall.
The present series Of postagestamps
has been in continuous use for just
IL years, which is much longer than
the life of the ordinary series. There
| have been some changes since 1890.
such as the substitution of the 50-cent
for the 30, the one-dollar for the 90
cent, the addition of the two-dollar
and the five-dollar values and some
slight changes of interest to stamp
collectors, but the size, designs and
colors of most of the stamps are the

How Some Seeds Travel.

The most curious provision pos
sessed by seeds for self dissemina-
ton is the Microscopic avn. In the
r-::ld oat (Avena fatua), for exam
PIE, there is attached to the glume-
liza "a small, leafy structure connect.
ed with the seed) a spiral avn COW
cred with humorous fine hairs, and
this avn has the power of expand
ing when moist and of contracting
when. dry.
Thus the attached seed is con-
stantly on the move with the
changes in the weather, the hairs
clinging to any object met with I'M
til termination or destruction puts
an end to its motion.
: The seed Of barley, too, is provid-
ed with a similar avn, which is fur
nished with minute teeth that point
toward its apex. The seed when ~
ing on the ground naturally expands
with the moisture of the night and
contracts with the dryness of the
day; but, as the teeth prevent its
moving toward the point of the avn,
all motion must be in the direction
of the base of the seed, which will
thus travel many feet from the par
ent stalk.
