FACTS BRIEFLY TOLD.

The human lungs usually contain
about one gallon of air.
Of all money transactions in Eng
land 81 per cent. are transacted by
checks, only three per cent. by notes
and gold.
The Alps cover a space of 10000
square miles. In them rivers have
their source, flowing into the North
sea, Black sea, aud Mediterranean.
Some idea of the vast wealth of Lon
don may be gathered from the fact that
he fire insurance carried by the me-
tropo.is is now 1850, 100000. Canada's
fire insurance amounts to S756.257, 09S.
There are 10000 square miles of ag-
eicultural land in Natal alone, which
carries a population of but one to the
square mile. The same paucity of
farming popula ton prevails over the
whole of South Africa.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A sensa-
tional statement is made by Mr.. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave-, this
city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for a long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder
full cures by this remedy.

year at their hands. And with them
are the clerks of their committees, Mr..
Courts and Mr.. Cleaves;
who have handled appropriation bills
for so many years that their services
are exceptionally valuable to the coun-
try. as wei as to the congress. They
never take vacations for the Christ
mas holidays, nor for any other holi-
days while the congress is in session.
Moreover, those employees work on the
details of appropriation bills during
the long vacations when the statesmen
are away from this city for months at

the habit of too much resting.

not being allowed to speak even to

piled. The food is plain but substan-

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
smith Attack. stock Yards.

State Senator F. Dumont Smith,
of Kinsley, picks to pieces the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court in favor of the Kansas City
stock yards. Senator Smith makes a
few remarks on Judge Brewers OBJ
servations about the ''sagacity of the
owners of the stock yards" and what
they have done to help the stock in
terests of the west. The senator de-
MES that the stock yards company
has done solitary thing in that di-
rection. On the other hand he claims
that it has retarded the stock inter
ests by it's excessive charges for
yardage and feed because it holds a
monopoly. Inasmuch as the other SUI
preme judges dissented from this
point Smith believes that law can
be passed reducing fees which will
hold water.

Especial Washington letter.

l(TnE lives of government clerks
must be very monotonous,"
said Congressman William AL
den Smith, of Grand Rapids, Mich, as
We were riding from the capitol on an
electric car.
81 have often watched them going
to and coming from their offices. Now
it is four o'clock in the afternoon, and
they are coming out of the departments
in great droves. You notice that near
ly all of them rush for the street cars.
That is partly because they are tired,
and partly because SO many of them
live away out in the suburbs. They
walk in the mornings, and ride in the
evenings.
Every morning, from eight o'clock
until almost nine, the thousands may
be seen walking towards the depart
ments, all of them carrying little pack
ages containing their lunches. Some
of them walk as much as two or three
miles on fair days on their way to
their work, and it probably does them
good. But, after being shut up in the
departments, where many rooms are
lily ventilated, or not ventilated at all,
they are as tired out by four o'clock
as the giant tillers of the soil are when
they have worked from sun-up to sun
down
There is something ting
or somnolent in the atmosphere of
this city," continued Mr.. Smith. "At
my home I am always in my office at
eight o'clock each morning. Here it
is a task and a struggle for me to get
to the capitol by ten o'clock. It is the
same with my family, too. We do not
get up SO early as we do at home, and
We do not go to bed so early as we
should. I have brought servants with
me this year, and am trying to keep
house instead of being an uncomforta
BILE boarder. But find that the serv-
ants have breathed the somnolent air
of Washington, and they do not get
up and go about their work as they
did at home. Maybe they see the indo-
lence of other servants in the neigh
borhood, and are putting on the airs
of this community. I hope that sea-
son here will not spoil them for their
duties at home when we go back at
the close of this session of congress.
"The government clerks, I under
stand, only work half-days during the
Christmas holidays. The six half-days
of vacation are not taken from their
annual leaves of 30 days. They are
very fortunate folks in the matter of
days of rest. No other class of work
ing people have 30 vacation days with
pay given to them every year. And it
is good pay, too"
While the congress is absent from
tie capitol building there are few
statesmen and employees who are hard
at work, and their labors are of the
greatest Importance. The chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, and the
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, Mr.. Allison, of Iowa,
are working on the details of the per-
manent appropriation bills; those
which require especial attention every

reformation, Not Oppression.

Warden Jewett's predominating
idea in the treatment of the states
prisoners is to send them away better
men than when they entered the for
bidding walls While the strictest dis
cipline is ceaselessly maintained, all
grating harshness is removed as far
as possible and the men relieved of
the impression that the states Of
ficers are expressing them.

Some counterfeit 25 and scent
pieces, almost perfect limitations,
were recently found within the state

poets that a complete set of molds is
in possession of some of the convicts,
but careful search has failed to re-
veal them and they are probably Sc
creted somewhere in the prison mine.
