THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara ]. Sherbourne, profess
sional nurse. of 257 Cumberland
street, Portland, Maine, says:
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the kid
neys would try Doans Kidney Pills.
They would, like me, be more than
surprised. My back annoyed me for
years. Physicians who diagnosed my
case said it arose from my kidneys.
When the grip was epidemic was
worn out with constant nursing, and
when l contracted it myself it left me
in a very serious condition. / could
not straighten nor do the most trivial
act without being in torture. The kid
ueys were too active or the secretions
were too copious, and l knew what
was wrong, but how to right it was q
mystery. 1t seems odd for a profess
sional nurse, who has had a great deal
Of experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go to
H. H. Hay & Sons drug store for
box. But l did, however; and had
anybody told me before that 1t was
possible to get relief as quickly as
did would have been 10th to believe
1t. You can send anyone who wishes
more minute particulars about my
case to me, and l will be only too glad
to tell them personally. AS long as

Doan's Kidney Pills"
Cure Confirmed-5 Years Later.
Lapse of time has strengthened my
good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills,
first expressed in the spring of 1896.
said then that had anybody told me
that it was possible to get relief as
quickly as l did l would have been 10th
to believe it. Years have passed and
my continued freedom from kidney
complaint has strengthened my opin-
ion of Doans Kidney Pills and given
me a much higher appreciation of
their merits"

A Fascinating Tale.

Father Pablo Martino, parish priest
of Yesca, Mexico, reports that party
of Americans, headed by an arehae-
ologic expert, who gave the name of
Heverick. went into the mountains &C
companied by three Mexican guides
and, by means of a chart which he
claimed to have copied from an Aztec
stone tablet in the national museum
in the City of Mexico. located vast
cavern in a mountain near Yesca. I'm
mense stone images stood about this
chamber. In one end was handsome
altar, above which burned a bright
dame, supplied by natural gas from a
crevice in the wall. In chamber ad-
Joining this main temple was found
a great store of ornaments and uten-
sils belonging to the Aztecs or some
other prehistoric race. Twelve burros
were required to transport the articles
from the cave to San Bias, where they
were shipped to San Francisco, accom-
panied by the Americans.

Spencer Not a Vegetarian.

Herbert Spencer is poking fun at
the vegetarians of England and has
taken them completely by surprise in
asmuch as vegetarian faddists thought
they could claim the philosopher as
one of their own. Mr.. Spencer does not
apparently think highly of the mental
state produced by year of vegetable
diet He said recently: Il went over
all that had written during the year
practiced vegetarianism and con-
signed it all to the fire." Since then
he has been saying some facetious
things about the "devotees of the
truck garden" as he calls the vege-
tarians.

Clever Female Politician.

Miss ]. N. Strong, private secretary
to ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas,
is credited with being the cleverest
female politician ever seen in Wash
ington. She is conversant with every
county in Texas, knows every man of
prominence in the state and attends
to nearly all details of federal patron
age there. 1t is related of her that
she once went to see a cabinet officer
in regard to a place for Texas con-
stituent. The official was not disposed
to give the place to her applicant, but
in a pleasant and courteous manner
said: 81 am sorry to disappoint you
after looking into such pretty brown
eyes" 1T seems to me then" was
the quick answer, that the ayes
ought to have it, The cabinet officer
was so pleased with the retort that
he made the appointment.

Wells and Eyesiqht.

DR.. Nagel, an eminent German ocu-
Est, has again been investigating the
effects of wearing wells, and has ex-
smined the cases of eighty-eight wo-
men whose eyesight has been injured
Ly this practice. He finds that the
size of the mesh, the distance of the
veil from the eyes, and the color of
the veil are the determin-
ing differences, and that rs per cent
of the women who habitually wear
wells, by neglecting to take account
of these matters, impair their sight,
tLis result being brought about by the
average defective veil in a period of
four years.

Eaq Shells as Flower Pots.

Egg shells may be used to advan-
tage in starting delicate plants for
transplanting. The half shells are
filled with earth and set in a box also
containing the dampened earth. A
hole is made in the point of the shell
to allow drainage. A single seed is
then planted in each shell, which is
easily broken when transplanting is
done, without the slightest disturb
ance of roots. This use of egg shells
is the discovery of French gardener,
who claims they are vastly superior
to the little pots generally used for
the purpose by florists.

A Uesful Insect.

Insects imported into Hawaii from
Mexico for the purpose of having them
attack the lantana, which is most
destructive weed throughout the
islands, are reported to be doing what
was expected of them on the island of
Maui. They have attacked some large
tracts that are overrun with lantana
and are killing the weed. The Ian
tana covers thousands of acres in
Hawaii and is almost ineradicable, ex-
cept at very heavy cost. Professor
Koebele, the Hawaiian government
entomologist, is now in Mexico collect

How PineappIes Grow.

Many persons have an idea that the
pineapple grows on tree. AS mat
ter of fact, it comes out of the ground
as a stalk, the plant growing to a
height of four feet. 1t divides at once
into sword-like leaves fifteen in num-
ber, from the center of which pro-
jects a stiff, upright stem. and at the
top of this stem grows the fruit. The
stem is short and the crown of the
fruit, when full grown. is a foot or
more below the tips of the leaves.
Each plant produces a single apple"
but when that is pulled little sucker
appears on the stem, among the
leaves, and this becomes the head Of
the plant and within year produces
another apple. This may continue for
years.

Instincts of the Wolf Developed in the
Scotch Collie.
Perhaps the most utter ruin ever
inflicted upon human beings by do
mestic animals. says Answers, was in
Patagonia four or five years ago. A
number of Scotch crofters emigrated
to North Patagonia and began sheep
farming, at which they were very
successful. They brought out with
them several valuable collies, and
these for a time did good work. But
one winter one of these farmers died
suddenly. His dogs, left without food,
began to devour the sheep. They ran
away, took to the hills, and became
the progenitors of race of wild dogs,
which come down in packs and kill
the sheep by hundreds. So serious
have matters become that a bounty of
$40 head is offered for these wild
collies.
