operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst maarial
influences. | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as

account Of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill

medicine a trial. | procured 1t, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands

never had another case of fever.

The Dangerous Game of Chess.

The death of a Minneapolis mer-
chant from apoplexy caused by bout
at chess calls attention anew to the
danger of games which demand too
close mental effort. A very large
number of the masters of chess In
particular have died insane, and the
stress which menaces the nervous
with arrangement must in full-bodied
amateurs past middle age aggrevate
IN apoplectic tendency.
The advantage of games involving
exercise is shown in contrast by bill
liards. In spite of the bad air in
which the game is played, 1t is ben
eficial rather than otherwise, though
inferior to golf, which. with its open.
air conditions, is well adapted to the
needs of men of sedentary habits, if
not overdone, as too often it is.
Expert players of chess and other
games of concentration, like whist,
pride themselves upon the intellect.
ual" character of their diversions.
But for men engaged in absorbing
daily pursuits it is not desirable to
prolong the strain into the night by
a battle of keen wits over a game
board. Perhaps in his fondness for
the theatre, even for foolish farces
and music-hall drivel, the New York
business man obeys a healthy i'm,
pulse. 1t is well not to work too hard
at ones play.-New York World.

Hunting The Gator
an Exciting Sport

Night hunting for alligators in the
South is one of the weirdest forms of
American sport. The canoe glides soft
ly over coal black water, with heavy
trees hanging over the banks and
everything lost in gloomy mystery. A
lantern with a strong reflector is car
ried. The dazzle of it makes drift
Ing or swimming alligator hesitate just
long enough to provide a good chance
for shot. Sometimes the lantern is
affixed to the bow of the boat. Some
times it is affixed to the front of the
sportsman's hat so that its beam of
light shines straight in the direction
of the line of aim.
This method of night hunting is
known as shining" If the gator is
asleep when the shine" falls on him,
he will glare stupidity at it for a mo-
ment or two before he is awake fully
enough to get away into the darkness.
Then is the time to shoot. The shot
gun is most used for this kind OF
hunting, and the charge is sent into
the joints between the head and shoul-
ders.
One of the exciting stages of alliga-
tor hunting is after the beast has been
hit AS a dead alligator sinks almost

Tricks of Cinnamon
At the Telephone

"a Chinaman at the telephone is
funny thing" remarked a long-dis-
tance telephone operator few days
ago. you see, it is impossible to
tell whether one person or a half
a dozen are talking, and we often be-
come mixed up in listening to them.
When one is speaking it seems as if
half dozen are talking, and we often
imagine the wires are out of order.
ITO make matters worse the Chi
nese delight in talking as fast as pos
sible, and we never know whether the
Chinaman at this end of the wire is
talking, or if it is the one at the other
end. After the conversation is end
ed the Chink walks out of the booth
with a self-satisfied smile on his
face, and pays for three-minute talk
We have lately discovered that he
invariably says as much during that
time as could have been said by
white man in fifteen minutes
To be sure, the telephone company
is not really ''out" anything by the
transaction, as it is paid by the min
ute, but nevertheless in the case of
the Chinaman the company would be
the gamer by charging for volume in
stead of time.
A Chinaman always begins his talk
in pidgin English. He says: Hello!
Is this Sam Ling? l bette you don't
know-yi hi vi he yahbo benno ne"

AlCOhOl-Laden Air
Causes IntOXiCdtiOn

There is atmosphere that really in
toxicates, and not because it is full
of ozone and oxygen, but because it is
laden with alcohol.
London authorities who have been
making an investigation have found
that the air of distilleries. wine vaults
and drinking saloons contains appre-
ciable amounts of alcoholic vapor that
is prejadicial to health.
1t is set down as an established fact
that a walk through the cellars at the
London docks, where large quantities
of spirits are stored, has at first
peculiarly stimulating effect, followed
by depression and headache and nau-
sea.
In the same way the stranger on his
first visit to the great sherry bodegas
in the south of Spain experiences at
first a decided sense of exhilaration,
with quickening of the pulse. followed
by a narcotic effect, feeling of Ian
guor and headache. In the great
brandy stores at Cognac, again, to
some people the air is sickening. 1t
might be naturally expected that the
more volatile constituents of wines
and spirits would be the first to evap-
crate into the air, and possibly the
volatile odors would thus prevail.
The effect of inhaling the air of the
sherry vaults is more marked than
when other spirituous liquids are kept
in the store. 1t is, of course. well
known that sherry is highly etheral
wine There would, therefore, appear
to be some ground for concluding that
when air is impregnated with the vola-
tile vapors of spirits or wines it has
marked effect upon heath.
Whether this effect would be pro-
nounced or not upon those inhaling
the air day by day does not appear to
have been ascertained WITH certainty.
1t is probable, however, that at any
rate some slight deterioration of
henlth would take place. 1t is pretty
commonly asserted that saloonkeepers
and those employed in drinking places
experience ill effects from the con-
slant inhalation of al alcohol-eontam-

as II several persons were at work.
An amusing incident occurred in
the Denver Office of the company last
week. The long distance operator at
Colorado Springs called Denver over
ane wire and informed the local office
shat another wire was out of order
An investigation resulted in a report
being made to the effect that the
wire was crossed with a dozen others
and that it was impossible to use it
until the trouble could be located.
An inspector asserted that he be
lieved the wire was crossed with one
connecting with the tower of Babel,
and the hello girls" upstairs were
ready to agree with him when a
Chinaman walked out of a booth,
glared around the room for minute
and then said:

And the mystery was explained
What had been mistaken for a cross
ed wire was only two Cinnamon, one
in Denver and one in Trinidad, each
one trying to get his moneys worth of
conversation at so much per minute
The Mongolian received an apology
and was once more allowed TO enter

him quickly. Sometimes it happens
that the creature has not died as he
should, an in that case there will be
vast trouble. great deal more inter-
esting to read about than to expert
ence. A 10-foot alligator, hurt griev-
ously and crazy mad, a canoe that re-
mains right side up even under ordi-
nary circumstances only because the
occupants are lucky. a pitch dark
bayou and black water full of various
undesirable reptiles, from water moe
casins to other alligators, makes
combination equal to first-class
nightmare.
Many alligator skin hunters in Flor
ida and the gulf states carry marks
that accrued to them because they
made such a mistake about the
death" of an alligator
Stalking" an alligator with a rife
is a pretty sport, especially IL the
hunter is blueblood and willing to
call it a fair deal only if he shoots the
reptile through the eye. An alligator's
eye is not big. If the bullet even SO
much as grazes the bony eye socket.
the chances are that it will glance Off
and the alligator will plunge away,
unharmed except for astonishment
and anger at the unreasonableness of
man.

GHOSTS HOLD CARNIVAL HERE.
House at Dunkirk, N. ", Which Is
Haunted by Spirits.

Residents in the Fourth ward are
greatly excited over an alleged haunt
ed house in Lincoln avenue The house
in which the ghosts are said to hold
sway is a small, gloomy, vine-covered
cottage resting back from the street,
almost hidden from view by deep
shrubbery. 1t was the home of an
aged woman who was found lying
upon the floor one morning dead Fo-
years she had led the life of a recluse
and her every action had been shroud-
ed in mystery. After her death con-
siderable money was found secreted
about the place. Within the past two
years over dozen families have lived
in the house. None remained longer
than two weeks. A family who had
moved into the house Monday last
moved out to-day. They stated that
continually about midnight the sound
of footsteps, groans, blood-curdling
chuckles of laughter, and the clank-
out the house.
The lighted lamp on a number of oc-
casions was blown out without any ap-
parent cause, and several times the
bedclothes were forcibly pulled from
the occupants of the bed. The old
woman during her life never allowed a
person to enter the house. The opin-
ion is that she has come back to this
world to keep people out of the house,
which she guarded so jealousy before
her death.-Dunkirk IN. VI Corre-

In the singular failure of the old

that it crumbles at the slightest touch.
To stop the disease" some glass of

ries has been removed. 1t is known
that the hardest cement is sometimes
disintegrated by chemical action set
up by minute organisms, and it is sup
posed that the destruction of the glass

CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,206.-Capt. Alfred G..
Rigler of Hose Company No 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: 81 had weak back
ever since l was a boy, and about
six years ago the cause developed
into rather bad case of kidney COM
plant. 1t was not little backache
now and then, but backache which
caused actual suffering day and
night, and the harder 1 tried to get
rid of it the worse it became.
9 When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys. l
can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from
knife thrust.
In time, distressing and terribly
inconvenient urinary weakness result
ed, causing annoying embarrassment
during the day and loss of sleep dur
ing the night.
l took everything which came to
my notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and ac-
quaintances advised. l consulted
physicians, hut none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
1t became so well known that had
a pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that l often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention l wanted to try them,
just as l had tried everything else,
and Mrs. Rigler went to Durham &
Wright Co.'S drug store for box.
Relief followed.
l knew after a dose or two that
the medicine was acting directly on
the kidneys from the altered condi-
tion of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged. continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying,
would willingly pay one months
wages for a box of them If could not
buy them for less. You can refer
any one to me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and | will convince them that
they act just as represented"
Four Years After.
Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doan's Kidney
Pills. l gave this remedy my unquali-
fed endorsement in the summer of
1896, because of the results l obtained
from a course of the treatment.
can now add to my original endorse
ment the experience of a number OF
others who are just as enthusiastic,
when they express their opinion of
