WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Sonoma, Mich, July 21st.-Mr.
Delos Hutchins, Of this place, says:
IF 1 could have had Dodd's Kidney
Pills rs years ago I would not now
be crippled as am"
Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to
1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as
q northern soldier and with the re-
suit that he contracted rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr..
Fred Parker, the local druggist, ad-
vised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first two boxes did not seem to
help him very much, but Mr.. Parker,
knowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills
would eventually cure him, pressed
Mr.. Hutchins to continue, and by the
time four boxes were used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip and legs were en-
tirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins says: II
cannot tell you how much better
am feeling. If it we're not for the
way my hands, feet and knees are
drawn out of shape would be about
as good as ever"

AN IDEA FROM FRANCE.
Method of Extracting OIL from Olive
Pulp Likely to Prove Useful
in United States.

A method of extracting oil from
olive pulp which has long been in
vogue in Southern France is proba bly,
available for vegetable oilcake also,
and is likely to prove useful in Amer.
lea. Consul General Skinner, writ
ing from Marseilles, describes it,
in letter to the state department.
The essential feature of the system
is that some chemical solvent, like
naphtha, is employed to withdraw
the oil from the pulp, and is then sep
arated from the oil by distillation.
Naphtha, gasolene or petroleum es-
sence," as the French call it, was long
the favorite agent, and some of the
big oil manufacturers at Havre op-
crate their own petroleum refineries
in connection with their olive oil
works. But sulphide of carbon is
now coming into favor, because it is
non explosive and cheaper. In Mar

Quarrying Stone with Water.

A remarkable quarrying feat was
recently accomplished at Rubislaw
quarries, Aberdeen, Scotland. A
large stone had been drilled, ready
for splitting, when the thought
struck the foreman that the severe
frost which prevailed might be uti-
lized. Water was poured into eacl,
of the drill holes, and it was found
after couple of days that the block
of granite had completely burst open.
An idea of the immense power of tho
frost will be gathered when it is
stated that the stone thus detached
measures IL feet by five feet, and
has a weight of about six tons.

SELF-CULTURE AND SUCCESS.
One May he a Millionaire and Yet BE
Ignorant of Books, Art md
Culture.

A man does not need college edu-
cation in order to succeed in any ordi-
nary business. You may reach COM
handing position in the commercial
or political world without attaining
a high degree of scholarship. You
may be successful, in the purely ma
terial meaning of the word, without
a touch of higher culture, without an
appreciation of the nobler things Of
life. You may be millionaire, with
great influence in your community,
and yet be almost wholly ignorant Of
books, art, music, or travel, writes o.
S. Marden, in Success.
But this is very narrow view of
success. Is the meaning of Life not
broadened and beautified by an ex-
pansive mind, a wider horizon, and the
satisfaction Of finer culture.
The glory of sunset, the beauty of
a landscape, or the delicate loneliness
of a rose or lily is not necessary to
our mere animal existence, but it adds
much to the sum of the highest things
of life.
Pictures and draperies are not neces-
sary to a wall, oriental rugs to floor,
or delicate pieces of statuary and brio
a-brac to the: furniture of a room;
libraries lined with noble books are
not absolutely essential to bare ex-
istence; a knowledge of the mysteries
and beauties of science, the fascina.

music and art-none of these things
is necessary to the support of life;
but how barren life would be without
them! If we were Suddenly deprived
of these things, what could we substi.

calculation in leaping from one timber
to another means cold bath in the
lake, and if no companions at hand to
give him lift, his death is but ques-
ton of a few minutes.
In view of the fact that fatalities
attend the drive from the time it is
set afloat far up river, in May, until
it reaches Pea cove boom, 200 miles
away, in August or September, tho
woodsmen have devised novel piece
of mechanism for finding bodies that
lie below the water.
The invention consists of molasses
hogshead with one head removed and
a pane Of window glass cemented
above hole cut in the remaining
head. The hogshead is set on end,
with the end containing the glass in
the water.
Two green and heavy logs are then
dashed to the sides of the hogshead,
causing it to float as deeply as posi-
BILE in the water. The logs are held
together by spiked cleats fore and aft,
so man can stand on the improvised
raft and scull it back and forth. AS
soon as the mechanism is completed
a small man gets into the hogshead,
which is closely covered at the top, to
exclude the light.
When the man has been inside few
minutes his eyes become accustomed
to the darkness, so that by looking
through the pane in the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted, he
is enabled to see to depth of 20 and
30 feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom of the waterway.
AS the hogshead is capable of holding
but little air, the man ca nnot remain
inside for long. As soon as he comes
out he takes the scull oar while his
companion goes inside to scan the
depths. In this manner many bodies
have been recovered and watches lost
overheard and cant dogs, which have
slipped from the hands of careless
drivers, have been restored to the light
Of day.

The name of its inventor is unknown,
and there is no patent to protect the
idea. Woodsmen say it came into use
about rs years ago. Previous to that
time the man who wished to spy upon
the floor Of lakes and streams used a
wooden tube made of four narrow
boards, the lower end being provided
with light of glass.
AS boards are hard to find in the
wilds of Maine, while empty molasses
hogsheads are to be had at every lum-
Der camp, the hogshead water-scope
was no doubt adopted because it was
the only thing available. Since the
first one was so constructed no other
kind will be used.

THE POWER OF S5EECH.
Prof, Cunningham Describes 1t AZ thu
Result Of Slow Process Of
q Natural Growth.

Speech is the result of slow process
of natural growth, and there is no
human race that does not possess it.
If in the present state of the~world
some philosopher were to wonder
how man ever began to build those
houses, palaces and vessels which we
see around us we should answer that
those were not the things that man
began with. The savage who first
tied the branches of shrubs to make
himself a shelter was not an architect
and he who first fioated on the trunk
of tree was not navigator. So it
is with speech, which grew from rude
beginnings. All the more intelligent
animals can express simple conditions
of mind both by sound and gesture.
The dog can emit four or five sounds
each fully understood by his compan-
ions. The common barnyard fowl has
from nine to twelve distinct VI al
sounds, all of which are comprehended
by it's chickens and by other fowls.
There can be no doubt that the speech
of man arose, in the beginning, from
similar sources. Gesture speech was
frequent. Many sounds were imita-
tive. Purely conventional and non
imita tive sounds were adopted for
convenience, just as deaf mutes now
invent arbitrary sounds to stand for
the names of friends, etc. 1t is not
precisely true, then, to say that Clan
guage begins where intersection ends"
However it originated, it is the condi-
ton of progress. As Romanes said:
"A manlike creature became human
by the power of speech" When did
speech originate? Romanes thinks
that our human ancestor may have
been in the age of flint when he added
to gesture, vocal tones and facial
grimaces the power of speech. The
foregoing sentences are a very free
condensation of an address by Prof.
Cunningham.

RESETTL1NG SOUTH AFRICA.
EnEliahmen Are Being Rush ed to tn
New Colonies to Repair the
Wars Ravages,

Even before peace with the Beers
was officially announced England had
begun to carry out her plans for reset
Ting South Africa with her own peo-
pie. Months ago, under official
prompting, the immigration associa-
tons of London set about bearing q
hand with the settlement problem,
reports the New York Sun.
The Colonial Immigra ton society be-
gan it by sending out delega tion'of
several hundred women to Cape COL
ony for distribution at various points
where female help could command
high wages and loyal English feminine
influence could do the most good.
The Scottish Settlers association,
an organization formed in Rhodesia
under the patronage and with the as
sistance of Cecil Rhodes himself, had
taken up the work almost as quickly
and on even n greater scale. Four
months ago band of 100 Scotch farm
ers and laborers was sent out to the
Orange River colony to settle there
on the land vacated by burghers.
The association was in such hurry
to get its men on the ground that it
sent them a little too soon. When
they arrived in the new colony it was
found that local conditions were hard
ly ripe for their reception, and Mr..
Rhodes assistance had to be sought.
He solved the problem by providing
the Scotchmen with grants of land
from his own farms in Cape Colony.
Now that peace has been declared,
preparations for extending the scope
of the work are being made. The cap
ital Of the association has been raised
to half a million dollars, and English
and Scotch agriculturists are to be
rushed to South Africa to people the
new colonies, to readjust the balance
of population there and, by outnum-
boring the Beers, to render impossible
even the faintest chance of recur-
renee of rebellion against British au-
thority.
