New York City, Aug. 1sth.-NIr.
Charles Back. of GA Rue de Ia Victorie.
Paris, France, relates most interest
ing experience:

of age / have suffered severely with
Kidney Disease.
Last year l spent some time at the
baths at Carlsbad (Bohemia), but |
came back after five weeks treatment
with a severe pain still in my kid

My doctors in Paris and Hamburg
could do nothing for me.
IL was obliged to start from Paris
to Montreal Canada, and when l ar
rived in the Canadian city 1 was half
dead.
Il read an advertisement of Dodd's
Kidney Pills in a newspaper there and
began to use this remedy, and after
two days treatment l felt that my
pains were leaving me, and in a week
| haI no pains at all.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the most

FUTURE OF MODERN ARMIES.
French Government Would Reduce Term
at Service.

The dispute now raging in France over
the government proposal to reduce the
term of compulsory service in barracks
TO TWO years is one, as we believe, of eN-
IRENE significance. France being ut once
the most military of nations and the one
most susceptible to new ideas, her exam.

They see that the socialist idea of sub

militia for that of regular armies gains
ground yearly among the peasantry, ahd
they believe that it will be directly pro-
NOTED by the abolition of exemptions,
which will render the entire cultivated
class, who now to the number of $1,000
serve only for one year, bitterly hostile
to barrack life. The consequence. they
predict. will be a further general reduc-

FRESH AIR IN COAL MINES.
The Quantity the Miners Need and How
it is Supplied to Them.

In the operations of coal mining,
which. in the United Kingdom alone,
produce something over 235. 100000 tons
a year, and find employment for nearly
three-qUarteFs of million of people,
there Is nothing of more vital Importance
than the continual supply of Il sufficient
volume of fresh air for diluting the nOxi-
Gus gases prevalent in the mines and for
enabling the underground workers -
breathe u comparatively pure atmns-
phere. IL may be said of modern miHeS
that the efforts to provide this air have
III the majority of cases, been attended
with SO much success that the atmoS-
phere of ii modern coal mine is superior
10 the atmosphere of the forge or factory
on the surface.
The particular amounts of air required
at the various c0ilieries depend some
what upon the nature of the mine,
whether non-gaseOus, or slightly gaseous,
or very gaseous; also upon the number Gf
human beings and animals employed IN
the mines and on the amount of coal pro-
duced. which is not always in proportion
to the number Of persons engaged there
in.
Taking all Glasses of coal mines. a fair
and liberal consumption is from 800 10
1000 cubic feet of air per minute for each
human being employed in the mine. Au-
thorIties differ very much as to the quau-
tity, and even the lesser of the amounts
stated will, in many quarters, be consid-
cred excessive; but thew are not eXaG-
Seiated amounts, AID there are eXccp-
tlonal cases where even the larger guam
THY could. with advantage. be greater
rather than less.
Taking the total number of persons
employed in and about the mines of the
United Kingdom as three-quarters Of a
million, nearly 100000 of this number

consumption OF air, OH the lower basis
stated. for such an army of workers will
amount TO something like eighteen thou
and million cubic feet per hour. repre-
senting in terms of weight more than
half million tons.
Making Il comparison between the
weight of the coal raised and the weight
of air which passes through the mine in
the length of n year it has to be remem-
bered that while coal production is not
continuous, and III many cases occupies
less than half of each twenty-fOur hours
and not always Six days i'll the week,
good ventilation at collieries means that
the current is practically continuous
from January | to December 81. day and
night. Sunday and week day. Following
out the Ngures given above, it is found
that the weight of air which ought to
pass through the mines of the United
Kingdom in a year is not. less than four
thousand million tons. or something like
twenty tons of air for each ton of coal
produced.
1t is not too much to say that, taking
the coal mines of the world. the weight
of air passing through them for purposes
of ventilation exceeds the weight of all
the minerals raised. even if the generous,
although necessary, maximum estimate
of one thousand cubic feet per minute
per individual be reduced one-half.-Cus-

MOSQUITOES KILLED BY FUNGUS.
Michigan Agricultural College Professor
Makes a Discovery.

Prof. II. H. Petit of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College has been studying the

misunderstanding ponds has found that
in one pool the banks We're lined with the
bodies of dead mosquitoes. killed by Il
fungus disease. This disease is closely
related to the one that Kills flies in the
autumn on window panes
The mosquitoes are attached TO the sur
face on which they die by filaments of
the fungus extending from the body of
the insect. The body of the insect first
becomes fully occupied by the vegetative
mycelium of the fungus, after which the
growth appears on the outside. complete

Child Slavery in the South.

The states in which the evil of child
slavery in cotton mills Is most trying
are Georgia, Alabama and the two Caro-
linas. Efforts have Deen made to secure
legislation In these states such as is
enforced in all Northern communities
for the protection of the children, but
TINS FAR the ul1sCrupulous methods of
the owners of the mills backed by the
short minded and foolish pride of the
people, in the growth of an industry
which is fed 10y the tears and the blood
of little children, have been sufficient to
defeat them. The mill owners boast
that they control and will continue to
control the Legislature, and their boast
ing seems justified 10y the fact that in
zach of these four states they succeeded
within the past years in defeating meas
ures of this character. In South Caro-
lima, which now leads in the number of
mills and spiudlcs, measure which
proposed only to prohibit the employ

On the oath day of last August in a
house near Toppenish, the old Indian
policeman, Jacob, was set upon by five
drunken bucks and beaten into insensi-
bility. He may not recover.
1t seems that white men have been
furnishing the Indians around Toppen-
ish with plenty of booze, and result

Old Jacob thought he had located one
of the white offenders, and proceeded to
enter the house and make search. He
had no more than gotten inside when

DEATHS.
Lawrence.

Charles E. Lawrence, the young man
who accidentally shot himself through
the stomach three weeks ago, died at
the home OF his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. e. Lawrence, at Zillah, on Thursday
afternoon last. The young boys death
is particularly sad, inasmuch as he was
so highly respected for the many manly
qualities he possessed. His friends
watched anxiously for all signs of recov-
cry, and at times believed that he would
pull through, although the physicians in
charge could see no hopes of his getting
well and gave no encouragement what
ever. The wound which resulted in
Charley's death was from A Colt re-
volver which was in his coat pocket and
which was accidentally discharged while
he was attempting to put up his horse
after coming in from ride. The ball
entered below the left fifth rib. Every
thing that medical aid could do was
done for the young man and with re-
markable fortitude he bore his misfor-
tune, even when informed that it was
only a question of a few days when he
must go. He was conscious to the last
and stated that he was prepared and
willing to go if it was Gods will. The
funeral occurred on Saturday afternoon,
attended by large number of his young
friends and the people of the neighbour
hood. Rev. NJ. j. Carmichael from Mt.
