months with very severe case of Kid

He was so very bad that he was
almost confined to his bed for three
months.
He tried many medicines. but he
could not get any relief till he com
menced to use a remedy introduced
here some time ago as cure for kio-
ney Trouble, the name of which is
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice very marked i'm
proyement in his condition. and in a
short time he was able to go about
again.
He is naturally filled with gratitude
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the inn
mense amount of good they have done
him and says:

Fills to every sufferer from kidney or

ence am sure they are the best medi-

FAHRENHEIT THERMOMETERS
Origin of Scientific instrument n
Everyday Use.

Sir Samuel Wilks, writing to
knowledge, gives the history of the
origin of Fahrenheits thermometer
which is generally used in this
country. 1t was really invented by
Sir Isaac Newton, and the starting
point of his scale was the heat of
the human body Newton's paper is
to be found in the Philosophical
Transactions" for the year 1901. He
describes his instrument. as a glass
tube, filled with linseed oil. and to il
he attached a scale to measure the
degree of heat of the liquid into
which he plunged it. His lowest
point was that of freezing. as his
highest was that of boiling water.
He chose for the starting point on
his scale the heat of the human body.
and this he called by the round num-
Der II, the duodecimal system being
then in use-that is, he divided the
space between the freezing point ana
the temperature of the body into
twelve parts. He further stated that
the boiling point would be about 80.
as it was nearly three times that or
the human body
A few years afterward. when
Fahrenheit was working at the SUBJ
ject of heat, he took Newton's in
struments for his experiments, but
finding the scale not minute enough,
he divided each degree into two
parts, and so made it "a degrees In
stead of II. He also did more. for,
finding he could obtain lower ten.
peratures than freezing, and notably
that of ice and salt mixed together,
he took. this for his starting point. Il
was from this point he began TO
count "a degrees up to body heat
This made. by his measurements, 8
the point of freezing. Boiling point
he made So. 1t then became zero;
freezing, s; body heat, "a, and boiling
water, SO. This was really the same
as Newton's, only the scale started
lower, and the numbers were double
Later on, finding that he could meas
IRE increments of heat more minuteiy

VACATION SCHOOLS.

This is the season of vacation
schools. Everywhere they are well at
tended, which would not have been
the case some years back. This is
accounted for by the great difference
that obtains today in the education OF
the young as compared with less than
generation ago. Today every branch
of study is presented in an alluring
and palatable form, so to speak, and
even the school rooms are made at
tractive through the medium of high
class art, all of which helps to make
school life pleasanter than N those
days when no such thing as beauty in
form or theme was considered as a
factor of any especial Importance.
While in the vacation schools the
work is quite in the nature of play.
the pupils, nevertheless, learn a good
zeal that is practical and beneficial.
The pastimes do not impose any
special tax on their little brains, for
the studies are of such a character as
will primarily train the eye and hand,
and while the simple system pursued
tends to the instructive, it is also dis.
ciplinary. First instituted by the
benevolently inclined women OF Bos-

NEEDLE IN HER STOMACH.

After an illness of two years, Miss
Leonie Jodoin, twenty years old, died
at her home in Jericho. r. /. A part
of this time was spent as a novice in
the Roman Catholic convent at FIush-
ing, L. l., which she was forced to
leave on account of i'll health. The
case has baffled New York and Rhode
Island physicians and a post-mortem
examination was required to clear up
the mystery. At first hemorrhages
were frequent. and Miss Jodoin had
, been treated for consumption. Sew
eral months ago hard lump was de
tected in her stomach, and an opera
ton disclosed a common sewing
needle, one and half inches long.
which was removed. This operation
gave her great relief and recovery
seemed certain until recently. when
the old pains returned The examin-
alton today revealed, piercing the
outer envelope of the heart, a steel
hat pin, four and one-fourth inches
long, without a head and in the
stomach another headless hatpin. one
anu onehalf inches long. Miss Jodoin
never gave any explanation of how
the needle got in her stomach. and
Dr. c. E. Chagnon, the family phvsi-
clan, expressed the opinion that while
IN fit of hysteria Miss Jodoin
forced the hatpins into her body.
