Mr.. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice a very marked i'm
proyement in his condition. and in a
short time he was able to go about
again.

to DOdd's Kidney Pills for the inn
mense amount of good they have done

NEEDLE IN HER STOMACH.

After an illness of two years, Miss
Leonie Jodoin, twenty years old, died
at her home in Jericho, r. I. A part
OF this time was spent as a novice in
the Roman Catholic convent at Flush
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 a hard lump was de-
tected in her stomach, and an opera
ton disclosed a common sewing
needle, one and a 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
and one-half inches long. Miss Jodoin
never gave any explanation of how
the needle got in her stomach. and
DR.. G. E. Chagnon, the family physi-
clan, expressed the opinion that while
in a fit of hysteria Miss Jodoin
forced the hatpins into her body.
Largest Scoring Board in the World.
This great score board, the largest
III the world, is on the cricket
grounds in Sydney, Australia, which
will hold without elbow-touching 49,
600 spectators, and upon which, UP to
the present time $73O,OOO has been
expended. When the grounds are
packed with visitors, and they usually
are, $4,000 being the average number
that usually gather when a good
cricket game is scheduled in Sydney,
the figures on the great board can be
easily read by every spectator that
skirts the huge circle where the game
is played
The board is about twenty-five feet
in height and over seventy feet IN
length. The numbers are huge.
They are painted on thick calico and
worked on rollers The names are
also on calico, fitted on frames, and
let into openings sized to hold them.
1t takes three men to operate this
largest scoring board in the world,
but so perfect is it's construction it
takes but two minutes to change its
entire score

MONUMENT TO DOGS.

Two deliberately carved tombstones
have been completed and placed over
the graves of Naezan and Chilko San,
Miss Daisy Letter once called her
best friends. The handsome dogs
were the gift of her brother, Joseph
Letter. Both died in April of this
year, and were buried with great GER
emory at Linden Lodge, the Lake
Geneva, Ill, home of the Letters.
Prince Naezan, the elder, was N. SIS
Letters favorite. Princeling was his
pet name and the whole Letter house
hold joined in Miss Letters worship
of her canine friend. When the silky
brown creature with red eyes and a
knot in his tail passed into the great
unknown on April IA there was great
grief and lamentation in the Letter
household Six days later his play
mate, Chiko San, died, supposedly of
grief over the loss of his elder brother.
The bodies of the dogs were borne
from Washington mansion, where
they died, to the Geneva home and
pIanted IN little mound protected by
weeping willows, and there they rest,
not unknown or unsung, for every
morning during the recent sojourn of
the family at Linden Lodge their
double grave was daily decorated with
mignonette and sweet william.
Two costly tombstones have
been erected over the graves Of the
animals. The tombstones are con-
structed Of white marble, and lie
upon the grass like sarcophagi. They
! are three feet long, two feet wide and
about foot in height. Besides being
deliberately carved about the sides,
with all the skill of the stonecutter's
art, each is engraved on the face with
the name of the deceased canine and
the date Of its death.-Chicago Inter

FAHRENHEIT THERMOMETERS.
Origin of a 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 it.
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 IL, 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 OF
the human body
A few years afterward, when
Fahrenheit was working at the sub
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 70
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, 8; 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
ure increments Of heat more minul~iy .
Fahrenheit divided each degree i1to
four parts 1t will now be seen ti.at
if the numbers just mentioned arc
multiplied by 4, we have the Their
mOmeter which is now in use.-Ncw

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
a 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
tCactive through the medium CT high
class art, all of which helps to make
school life pleasanter than in those
days when no such thing as beauty in
form or theme was considered as
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
deal that is practical#and beneficial.
The pastimes do not impose any
special tax onitheir 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-
ton, school boards soon saw the eff
ficacy of the system, and now in many
of the large municipalities vacation
schools are as important in their way
as are the regular schools of the other
forty weeks of the year. The end
OF the brief season of a few weeks that
these vacation schools are open finds

Ellensburg is all Right.

The prospect that the railroad divis-

seems to have put new life into the peo-
pie OF Ellensburg and Kittitas valley.
Instead of laying back expecting the
railroad division to make the town, the
prospect Of it's removal has awakened a
spirit of activity not known there for
years. The ditch must be built, is now
the uppermost thought in the minds of
our neighbors and they will surely
make it 60, for they are made OF the
right kind of stuff once get them going.
The removal of the division will not
hurt Ellensburg in the least, on the
other hand in a few years the town will
be better off for it's going for other in
dustries will be set in motion that per-
haps would be long while in coming
