Peace for Oconto County, tells the
following story:
For years l had an aching pain in
my back, which troubled me very

Il did not know what it was, but see
ing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, l concluded to try box.
81 can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than any
thing else ever did
Il feel as well now as ever | was.
81 nave recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is a highly respected

A LESSON FROM NATURE.

Ore lesson, Nature, let me learn of
thee.
Cne lesson which in every wind is
blown,
One lesson of two duties kept as one,
Through the loud world proclaim
their enmity-
O toll answered from tranquility
o. labor that in lasting fruit out
grows
Far noisier schemes, accomplished in
repose;
Too great for haste, too high fol
rivalry.
Yes, while on earth a thousand dis
cords ring,
Mans senseless uproar mingling with
his toll.
Stlll do thy quiet ministers move IN,
Their glorious tasks in silence per
fecting!
Still working, blaming still our vain
turmoil
Laborers that shall not fail when man
is gone.

Animals With THREE EYES.

Nearly every one has heard Of the
autara, the curious, iguana-like look
ng creature, now found on only one
n two islands off the coast of New
Zealand, and supposed to be the old
2st living type of animal on the race
# the globe One of the most curl
us features is an organ on the head,
which at one time was spoken of as
he pineal gland, but which DR.. DENLY
discovered to be in reality third
we. His paper on the subject caused
he greatest interest in the English
scientific cihcles, and, as an illustra-
ion of the way in which research is
specialized nowadays, it may be men,
toned that while DR.. Dendy devoted
himself to the study of the third eye,
)ne distinguished English biologist is
working out" the skeleton, another
he kidneys, and so forth. In a short
ime therefore, our anatomical
knowledge of the tauatara ought to be
complete.
More recently DR.. Dendy has dis
lowered another New Zealand creature
possessing a third eye. This is the
Iew Zealand lamprey, a favorite
lrticle Of food among the Maoris. The
,hird eye is situated right on top of
he head and is covered with a thin
coating of skin. It is doubtful
whether it is now of any practical
use for seeing, but DR.. Dendy believes
that at one time, far back in the
worlds. history, there were two eyes
on the back Of the lamprey's head.
He is further of the opinion that at
one time the tuatara also had two
eyes where now only one remains. In
the tuatara it is the left eye which
has survived, while in the lamprey
it is the right one-Melbourne Argus.

John A. Smith of Milwaukee can SYM
pathize with rheumatic sufferers, because
he was himself tortured by this disease
for years. He made a thorough study
of his own case andNOf the causes of the
disease, following this with the expert
mental use of remedies suggested by the
knowledge thus gained. Ultimately he
found a combination of herbs which COM
pletely rid his system of every trace of
rheumatism, and, though years have
elapsed, he is still perfectly free from
any symptom of the old ailment Neigh
bOrs and friends to whom Mr. Smith
gave the remedy were cured with equal
thorOughness and permanence and clio
ria Tonic as Mr.. Smith named the dis

that time many thousands have by it's
use been relieved of the terrible Attic

900 sample packages of this remedy
which he desires to distribute, free Of
