1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as a
northern soldier and with the result
that he contracted rheumatism. which
gave him much pain till Mr.. Fred Par.
ker, the local druggist, advised him TO
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two
boxes did not seem to help him very
much, but Mr.. Parker. knowing that
Dodd's Kidney Pills would eventually
cure him, pressed Mr.. Hutchins to on
tinue, and by the time four boxes were
used the short, sharp, shooting pains
which had tortured his back, hip and
legs We're entirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins
says: Il cannot tell you how much bet

the way my hands, feet and knees are

Vice Chancellor Reed, sitting in the

Importance In the case of The Centaur
Company against a party calling them
selves the G.. w. Link Drug Company.
1t seems for the past year or more
Mr.. Charles III. Fletcher. president Of
The Centaur Company, the manufac-
turers Of Castoria, has been fighting,
through the courts, counterfeiters and
mitators of their goods.
All OF the fake goods are put up IN
a manner to lead the purchaser to think
they are getting the same Castoria they
have always bought, and the Chancel.
Tor dwells at length on this point, show
ing how easy ii would be to inform the
public of the difference between the
packages if it were not their object to
miSlcad the consumer. He says in
part: Every one of the packages put
in evidence by the defendant show a
persistent adoption Of the size Of the
bottle and the label of the complain
ant. All these manufacturers knew,
just as the defendant knew, that If the
remedy was put up in round bottles or
In bottles distinctively larger or small
CT, or if the bottles were so differently
wrapped, as to at once arrest the at
tcntion Of the casual purchaser, the sale
CT the remedy in such packages would
at once become substantially reduced"
Citing numerous cases in line with this
opinion. he gave Mr.. Charles ii.

Ones Chances Of Being Struck by
liuhtniuu Are Very Slender.

lightning HTS NSFJ 0tcn1Sf '
Chicago Herald: How unreasoning
the fear OF lightning felt by 30 many
timid people is may be seen from a
compilation Of statistics made by the
weather bureau. The figures, which
nave been gathered during the past
decade relative to the deaths by light
ming in the United States are certainly
of considerable interest. The old ques-
ton used to be how to protect build
ings against MISUNDERSTANDING rods
or none, solid rods or hollow rods--and
on the latter point men like Faraday
and Sir William Snow Harris took op-
posite sides and waxed wroth. each tell
ing the other that he knew nothing
about the subject. Today little or no
attention is given to this matter. and
1t is generally realized that as regards
where lightning will strike we must
take our chances, which, according to
the statistics referred to, are about n
in 100, 600 of being struck. The old idea
that lightning will never strike twice
in the same place has been pretty well
exploded by the actual facts. n there
IS reason TO assume that IL lightning
strikes a given point once 1t may be eX-
pected to strike there again, rather
than at some contiguous place.
The theory of lightning is now fairly
" W. ~ 40 - ~
due to the rapid condensation of min
ute drops of moisture In the air, each
of which, under certain conditions, con-
tains a small electric charge. AS these
minute drops coalesce the electric
potential is increased, due to the fact
that the total superficial area of the
coalesced drops is less tina twice that
when they existed singly, and, as the
electric capacity is proportional to this
area, the electric charge Of the two
drops is now confined within an area
Of less capacity than before, with the
result that the electric pressure is In
creased. In this way, long before the
drops have attained a size to be pre-
Cipitated as rain, an electric motive
force amounting to millions OF volts Is
developed.
When there is no certain immunity
from lightning when IT prevails, atten-
tion is called to the great desirability
Of ~persevering In efforts to resuscitate
those who have been rendered insen-
sible by lightning strokes, as recover-
les have repeatedly been made of per-
sons supposed to be dead, after more
than an hours efforts. The statistics
also show that there is no immunity
from lightning in a feather bed. In a
house, or in a closet, n that knives
and the like do not attract lightning.
For those who are inherently dreadful
of lightning the only comforting sug-
EcStiOn that can he offered is to re-
member that If one lives to see the
fash he is safe for, that time.

CHAPTER VI.
IN WHICH A PRISONER IS TRIED
AND HIS JAILER ESCAPES.

With only a dim idea of what 1 went
through the rest of hat night, 1 can
recall moving under escort to an old
farm building, which appeared to serve
the purpose OF a guard house, and, af-
ter n short examination, being COM
mitted to a back room with but one
window, and that barred. For the few
remaining hours before l was called out
to the examining officer, l heard the
steady tread of a sentinel outside my
door. Sleep was gone from me, and
like as not the rest 1 had had in the
woods saved me from complete exhaus-
ton.
Up and down the room 1 went hour
by hour, trying to cool myself down and
to form some plan for getting away and
giving information to the high author
ity who alone could be told such news.
But nothing came Of 1t. Indeed, / was
far too craZed with the experience 1
had had to gather my poor wits, ex-
cept in SO far as l decided finally to
explain frankly who l was to the COM
handing officer of the troops stationed
here at V~erplancks. | knew Colonel Liv-
ingstone to be a fine soldier and a
gentleman. My two letters had been
taken from me as soon as l was
brought in, but L had no fears for any
thing except my ability to come up with
the commander-in-chief n get speech
with him.
1t was in the midst of this continual
tramping up and down the room that l
was interrupted by the entrance of a
sergeant, who bade me follow him. We
passed along a narrow hall, n stood
at n half opened door, waiting to be
called, as ] supposed. Within the room
could be heard the voice of an officer
making examinations, but as | leaned
wcarily against the door post ! gradual

Growth of EVENING DaiIies.

Butte, Mont, Inter Mountain: In the
rapid development of newspapers in
America a noticeable feature is the
substantial lead which the evening
newspaper has taken as against the
morning newspaper. In New York the
Evening Sun has more than double the
circulation Of the morning sun, and the
same is true of the World. Chicago has
a notable example of the pre-eminence
of the evening newspaper in the News,
the circulation OF which is not APP
preached by any morning paper. The
