The hale, the hearty. the strong
can afford to toss this paper to one
side impatiently when they read the
following. but any sufferer in Spo-
kane who has suffered hours of tor
ture caused by kidney complaint will
stand in his own light if he does not
follow the valuable advice offered
here.
A. M. Buck, painter, living corner
of Eighth and Maple street, North
Yakima, says: Il can not speak too
highly of that wonderful remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to
the early part of the year 1894. when
l had a siege of the grip which left
my kidneys in a very disorylered con-
dition. I doctored a great deal and
took treatment from one of the lead
ing physicians of st. Paul. Mimi, for
three months but only received tenn
porary relief. The pain was in the
small of my back and was so bad l
could not sto6p or straighten up
without torture. After coming out
here the complaint still chung to me
until a friend advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I did not pay
much attention to his advice at the
time because / had used so many
things that / had about lost all faith
in medicines, but when | saw them
advertised last summer as | was bad
ly in need Of something to relieve the
pain / tried a box. 1t gave me so
much relief that l bought more and
continued until | took five boxes
They certainly did me an immense
amount of good. and / have no hesi-
tation in recommending them to any
one suffering from any ailments per-
tanning to the kidneys"

NESTS OF TERMITES.
Interesting Addition to the Collection
of Museum of Natural History.

An exceedingly interesting case of
termites' nests has been added to the
collections in the north wing gallery
of the American Museum of Natural
History, where the new exhibits of
butterflies are located. This termite
IS an insect resembling white ant,
common in Colombia, Jamaica and the
somewhat in size and shape that of
the familiar hornet. 1t is made Of
the vegetable mold which accumu-
lates in the coral formations of the
islands, and owes it's color of reddish
brown, no doubt, to the color of the
coral rock.
The termite is both a boon and a
nuisance to the farmers of the re-
gion where it is found; the first, be-
cause chickens thrive when given it
as diet, and the second, because it
has a fondness for encircling trees
and wandering around at random
through the woodwork of houses,
much to the detriment of both trees
and house. Another use it has is in
eating away dead wood in the forests,
so as to leave only thin shell which
readily crumbles and reduces to mold.
In settled districts the termites fire.
quently attack houses, and so work
that the extent of the mischief done
is not apparent until some wall
crumbles away as if made of paper,
xxyh
ever Even furniture is not safe. The
termites hate the light and will in
variably build tunnel from the nest
to the ground and thence to the point
Of active work. Thousands of them
live in each nest, and the rapidity
with which they make repairs when a
nest has been mutilated is little short
of marvellous. 1t is told that a scien-
fist once cut one of the nests squarely
in halves with a machete and came
the rext morning expecting tc find T.
deserted. Instead he saw the nest its
normal size, for the busy inhabitants
during the night had gathered enough
material to rebuild that which had
been cut away.
The usual inhabitants OF one of
these nests, are soldiers" work
ers," males" and queen" Study of
their habits has hardly progressed
far enough as yet to admit of descrip-
ton of the exact divisions of the
termites' activity between the vari-
Gus parts of their communicates

An Unfortunate Remark.

One pleasant day last fall, so the
story goes, President Hadley of Yale
was strolling through the beautiful
campus of Dartmouth College with his
wife on his arm. They were admiring
the beautiful buildings which dot the
campus. several of them haveing been
erected by wealthy alumni. Presently
they came to an especially noble nall,
built of stone, anil occupying a COM
handing site. Over the main entrance
was a marble tablet which announced
that the hall had been erected by
John c. Blank as a memorial to his
Beloved Wife
President Hadley stood and looked
at the noble pile for a moment. Then
he heaved a sigh that was almost en-
vious.
"Ah,'' he said, chat is what l should
like to do for my college"
And to this day, the boys declare,
President Hadley cannot understand
why his wife should have looked so
horrified.-St. Louis Mirror

ed the examination, submitted the fol.
lowing written statement to the head
of the institution:
Il have carefully examined and mea-
sured from an anthropological stand
point Feodor Machow of Kustiaky,
Russia, who is now about % years of
age. He is feet 9 inches in height
and can therefore be classed with
the largest giants that have ever
lived. He exceeds in height all the
known living giants by at least a
head, and is in many respects of great
scientific interest"
AS a matter of fact al; the giants
who have been exhibited in Europe
up to the present time were from At
to SO inches shorter than Machow.
Their height was between feet 10
inches and seven feet ! inches, accord
ing to documents placed with the An
thropoligical Society by the late Prof
Virchow. The showmen, however.
always exaggerated the height in adj
vertisements.
Feodor Machow comes from an old
Russian family, whose ancestors are
said to have emigrated to Russia from
the south, probably from Syria. His
parents, as well as his two brothers
and one sister, are all of normal size.
His grandfather was large, but in no
sense a giant. It is said, however,
that in earlier generations of the fam
lily large specimens occurred. View.
ing this case from the standpoint of
the theory that mental and physical
traits are inherited, it would seem
that the ehory is strengthened to a
certain extent, especially in regard to
bodily stature.

Hot Cross Buns.

In it's early days, when. 1t is to be
hoped, it was more toothsome than it
is now, the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people of these
Islands to Christianity. Pagan Eng
land was in the habit Of eating cakes
in honor Of the goddess Of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views Of
the people in reference TO religious
matters they could not induce them
to withhold from the consumption Of
confectionery. SO they put the sign of
the cross upon the bun of the Saxon
era and launched it upon missionary
enterprise which has extended through
the intervening centuries and survived
till now.
