Turning Head.

Star City Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. w. II. McFalls has been suffer
ing severely for two years with an all
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but ii never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably
surprised to find that the burning
gradually disappeared.
An attack Of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used a few of the
Pills which his father did not need and
they have done him so much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents pill for the few he still has left

There are conditions in which colo
materially affects the formation or
dew. as may be shown by simple ex-
pertinent. Place three pieces OF board
-one white. another green and an
other black-so that they may have
the sun on them all day, anc then
leave them exposed to the air all
night.
II all the conditions are normal 1t
will be found in the morning that
there is a good deal Of dew on the
white board, much less on the green
board, and still less on the black
board; indeed, there may be none at
all on the latter.
The difference is due to the fact that
the three boards absorb the suns rays
unequally, and are, therefore, OF DIFF
ferent temperatures at the close OF the
day. The black board absorbs the most
heat, the the white board the least.
They all begin to lose their heat as
soon as the suns rays leave them, the
white board cooling first, the green
board next and the black board last.
AS soon as they become cool enough to
condense the watery vapor OF the air
in contact with them, dew will begin
to form on them, and the most dew
will form on the one that cools first
1t may be that the black board will
absorb more heat during the day than
it can throw off at night; IL so, no dew
will form on it,

An examination OF the will shows
that, instead OF "indigent'' old women
he wrote Indignant" old women. and
this error in speliFg may invalidate
the instrument. Az ording TO the will
as originally draft he left $1,000 to
to whom he was Tn nerly engaged. He
scratched her nd ,e out and sub
stituted that of Miss Piatt. when the
change came over his affections and
only one of the witnesses TO the will
was appraised of the change. which
was equivalent to making new will.
