Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to
1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as
northern soldier and with the re-
suit that he contracted Rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr..
Fred Parker, the local druggist, adj
vised 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 ne, and by the
time four box9 - used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip and legs were en-

Telephone Poles for Egypt.

The company operating large tele-
phone system in Egypt has expert
enced great difficulty in securing a
suitable pole. The climate of the
country is SO hot and dry that good
timber to use for pole line for the
transmission of an electric current
does not grow. and timber imported
from other countries dry-rot and be-
comes useless in very short time. A
certain pole imported from Sweden
proved to be the most valuable, but its
greatest life was not over four years.
The company began negotiations,
therefore, with cedar pole firms in
the United States, with the result that
arrangements were lately made with
a Michigan firm, wholesale producers

THE EYE PESTS ORIGIN.
,Granular Disease of the Eyelids Was
Taken Into Europe by Ma
poleon's Soldiers.

The prevalence OF ophthalmia in the
public schools has aroused great in
terest as to the characteristics of q
pest which has caused the board Of
health to classify it as a contagious
disease, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.
DIR. C. Cole Bradley, of this city, was
seen and asked as to the actual con-
ditions with regard to this disease.
"The disease is medically known as
trachoma,' he said. "It is commonly
called granular disease of the eyelids,
for which immigrants are excluded
from this county. Ex-President
Kruger recently underwent an opera
tion for the cure of this disease. It
used to be called Egyptian ophthalmia,
and was spread all over Europeby the
soldiers of Napoleon. This is the ter
TOR of all tourists in Egypt. We class
all forms Of eyelid disease under the
name of contagious ophthalmia, but
there are other forms of conjunctiv-
tiles as well.
1.-THE main form Of the disease Is
known as trachoma and cannot be de.
tected on casual inspection. 1t is of
a most insidious nature. A child may
have the disease for months without
any external appearance. It lasts un-
til the eyelids have become so filled
out with PARTICLES that the cornea ID
affected and the vision impaired.
Then it becomes chronic, and is ex.
tremely difficult to cure. An opera
ton is necessary az rule, in the
early stages, and therein lies the
necessity of early discovery.
:In 1886 law was formulated by
the Academy of Medicine for the de-
lection of the disease in institutions
and its prevention. A very great per.
centage of cases was discovered, ]
am the physician at the Catholic pro-
tectory in Westchester, which con-
tains 2,4O0 children, from the East Side
in the greater part, and large per.
centage Of whom come from the pub.
lie schools. Although monthly state.
ments were sent in to the board Of
health, no cognizance Of them was
taken, and they we're merely recorded,
until DR.. Derby and l, as his assistant,
started to examine two typical pub
lie schools, and put before the board
of health the large number Of cases.
The proportion in the Catholic protec.
tory and the public schools varies
from IA to 10 per cent. It seemed to
me that owing to the constant influx
Of new candidates to the protectory
and similar institutions, the only way
to wipe out the disease in this city is
to strike It in the public. schools. We
are going through all the schools and
expect to find this high proportion
fully maintained.
1.-THE fact is that this is most dan.
gerous and insidious disease. Chill
dren suffering from measles and scar
let fever are sent home, but those with
ophthalmia are allowed to remain and
contaminate the others. I would
rather have my child suffer from
measles than from trachoma. The
fact that the disease gives no outward
indicationa for months IL the worst
