HAS THIRTY-Two DAUGHTERS.

John w. Street of Mount Vernon, H.. was arrested at Evansville. Ind, for the non-payment of his board bill, and had a hearing before Judge Thorning of that city, last Friday. It was nee essary, then, in order to escape eonvic- tion. that John w. Street should set up a strong defense in the way of pali- ating circumstances, at least. He did so by declaring under oath. first, that he was 9S years of age secondly. that he had incurred the debt for board and lodging pending the success of his .ef- forts to obtain employment; thirdly, that he was the father of thirty-two children, all girls, and fourthly, that a large number of his daughters were still dependent upon him for support Despite the fact that the proof of debt was positive and conclusive. the case was dismissed and he was set at lib- erty.

OLDEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD.

Professor Hilprecht of the University of Pennsylvania has returned from Babylonia. having accomplished the greatest results in the way of archae- ology that have so far been vouchsafed He has discovered the oldest library in the world. 2 library that was in exist ence 5000 years ago, and probably much further back, and which contains the oldest records of the human race. It is believed that some of the books he has discovered either go back to 10000 years ago, or tell of history in that early age with as much concise ness and authority as is possible.
 Outside the Bible. no records are as old as these, and it must be remem- bered that we have no original manu- script of the Bible that is more than 1.6O0 years old. It is true that it is be- lieved that fragments of the "Logia of Matthew" have been discovered on which the gospel of Saint Matthew was founded, but to all intents and purposes present manuscripts date back only to the third or fourth century of the pres ent era. Professor Hilprecht has found clay tablets which are believed to be at least 1000 years old and possibly 10,Ooo.
 
 rated in the Bible in consecutive way begins with Abraham. after which there is connected story down to the return from exile and after. the remaining gap being filled up by the writing of Jose phus. Strabo and others who connect the Jewish nation with the writing of profane historians. In the reference Bible there are dates at the top of the columns which more than 200 years ago were placed there by Bishop Ussher as the best computations of his time. These have not been confirmed by re- cent discoveries. Ussher placed Abra- ham about POGO B. C., though now he Is placed nearly a thousand years farther back. In any event. Hilprecht's dis coveries seem to go to many centuries beyond Abraham

HABITUAL CRIMINALS.

The question what to do with habit ual criminals is just now attracting much attention in Great Britain in con- nection with facts of unusual public interest contained in the annual report of the commissioners for prisons for the current year. The term habitual. or professional, criminal in it's technical sense is understood to mean one who seeks to live systematically by thievery and whose acquisitive instincts are not controlled by the fear or the example of punishment. In Great Britain of total of 2,S79 convicts no less than 1.342 are habitual criminals, in the sense Of having had one, two or three previous convictions for crimes involving sen tences of six months or over. Of the 1,342 as many as 1.213 were previously convicted of crimes against property, and represent the class which has de- liberately elected to live by robbery. Neither penal servitude nor imprison- ment serves to deter offenders of this class from returning to crime. The habitual criminal exists as a we'll de- fined type, and his kind constitutes 90 per cent of the prison population 0f Great Britain.
 Since the humane methods of the modern prison system are without value in the case of those convicted q second, third or fourth time for offenses which are the result neither of passion nor of intemperance, but of an evident determination to continue a life of crime for gain, irrespective of its risks. the conclusion would seem to be inevit- able that they are not adapted to the

Don't neglect an aching back.

 Backache is really kidney ache.
 To cure the back you must cure the ineys.

 Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's disease.
 A Tucson citizen tells you how-the cure is easy.
 R. D. Ferguson, attorney with offices in Century building, Tucson, Ariz., says: For a number of years I was greatly annoyed with kidney complaint There was little backache, the princi- pal symptoms being too frequent action of the kidney secretions, especially ob scrvable at night. Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and one day l called at drug store and got a box. The first days treatment con- vinced me they were going to the root of the trouble and I continued until I had finished four boxes. I am not pre- pared to say that l am permanently cured. but this is an undoubted fact, Deans Kidney Pills are the best reme- dy I ever used. They give immediate relief are pleasant to take. leave no bad effects and act directly upon the kidneys. I am pleased to recommend them to my friends and the public gen erally."

BE GOOD-1T PAYS

A Chicago man mas observed that Good deeds are better than real estate deeds-some Of the latter are worth less. Act kindly and gently. show sym pathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciate kind word and encourage ment more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthiully say: My good friend. cheer up. A few doses of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold. and there is no danger what ever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures.

 A trade missionary consultation of novel sort took place in New York yes terday. Representatives of several South American states met here to dis cuss ways and means of bringing the consumption of coffee up to a point commensurate with the increased pro- duction. Within a short time, it ap- pears, the harvest has grown from B. 0C0.0o0 bags to 12500, coo
 So far as ordinary observation goes the people of the United States at least would seem to be taking all the coffee -h"t is goo1 fer them Dietary special- ists say they are taking more. This country stands second on the list of coffee consuming nations. under the per capita classification, using about nine pounds per year per head to Hollands s fifteen. Belgium's figure is about eight and half pounds. Germany, France and Austria Hungary follow in order and the six countries mentioned are all Of those whose total consumption of coffee exceeds 50,00O 900 pounds each per year. In Great Britain. where tea is the staple, the annual per capita use of coffee Is only wo-thirds of pound
 The distribution of the worlds coffee consumption indicated by these figures argues that other fields than the Amer ican are. more promising for growers missionary work.-New York World.

 A striking pecullarity of the Dismal swamp is clearly brought out by the map, which shows that the surface of the swamp stands from seven to ten feet higher than the surrounding coun- try. and the draining out of it in all directions is observed
 The detail of the map Is enriched by the addition of ocean soundings and descriptions of the marine bottom.
