Caddo, KY, July POI believe I

Ball Of this place describes how he Is
feeling.
AS Mr.. Ball has been on the sick list
for long time, this declaration from
him comes as quite surprise.
When asked to explain how he had
become so strong in such short time,
he says:
II did have Kidney Trouble very
bad, in fact had to get up four or five
times every night to urinate. had
shortness Of breath which distressed
me terribly, was badly used up, and
was really Of no account for anything.

DR.. M. Q. Gee is one of the physicians

from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,

There is a general objection on the
part of the practicing physician to ad-

any one medicine cures hundreds Of

An Unassuming Royal Personage

AL Ivy al C1SOhSt~S.
The carelessness Of the Duke of Nor
folk about dress and his unassuming
ways are very marked and have caus-
ed him to be the victim of many curl
GUS mistakes, relates an English wri-
ter. My friend had a house near
Arundel, and when she and her fam
lily were removing to London the duke
contemplated buying the place as a
house for a member Of his family. One
morning Mrs. - was in her bedroom
shortly after breakfast when ser
want came up to tell her that a mes
senger from the castle had called.
"Where Is he?" she asked.
ooh! he's in the hail, ma'am."
Knowing the dukes habits Of activ-
ity in the country she felt some mis-
givings and hurried downstairs to find
the Earl Marshal Of England sitting
quite patiently on a hall chair with
his hat in his hands. She overwhelm-
ed him with apologies, of course, but
the duke was most amused and laugh
ingly said that he delighted in an ap-
pearance which protected him from
attentions which would make his life
burdensome.

The Canine Flood-Gase.

Floods on the Mississippi river are
usually marked by tragic features, but
occasionally the humorous element pre-
dominates. AS a refuge in time Of
need, says the New York Mail and
Express, balconies are built on the
roofs OF houses and cabins adjacent to
the river, and there prisoners Of the
food gather when the water gets in
side the levee and takes possession of
the lower floors Of their dwellings.
They take things calmly, especially
If they are negroes, waiting contented-
~ for the waters to subside. On one
of these balconies on a negro cabin
near Natchez an old colored man
watched the recent rise and fall Of the
river. His wife, nine children, his
children's goat, his hound and his
wife's chickens kept him company.
You'd better come off your perch
unclew called one Of a relief party
from a skiff. well take you where
you'll be safer. The water will soon
be up to your feet"
mo, it won't" said the old man,
calmly. "Is lib here thirty-six year,
an ct never come higher'n this, an ct
won't come now, ease this dog amt
a-whinin. Dogs has got more sense
n folks, an eff the food had a mind to
come higher, this dog d be a-cryin'
like a chile"
The old man stayed on his balcony,
and his faith in the hound was
strengthened by fall in the height Of
the water.

man to vote for him; has never gone
out of his way SO far as one block to
influence any mans vote and has
never spent the fraction Of one cent
for campaign expenses. Twelve years
ago the people came to him and said
they wanted him to take the office of
mayor. He said he did not care for
it particularly, but, holding that it was
mans duty to serve his town when
he could, he accepted the place.
Two years later he was asked to run
again. He declined, but the people
elected him. There was no opposing
candidate. Since that time the cleo
lions have been simply matters OF
form. No one ever come forward to
run against Mayor Pierponnet.
Last April for the sixth consecutive
time the people came to him and asked
him to retain the office. His patience
gave way at this and he protested
against being called upon to fill the
chair again. But his protest was I'M
availing. The people elected him and
what is more he received every ballot
cast for mayor.
Mayor Pierponnet does not suffer
politics to enter into the conduct of
city affairs. He looks upon the mu-
nicipality as big business corpora.

The Kew Herbarium, begun nifty
years ago, is estimated to comprise
considerably more than two million
specimens, attached to 100000 sheets.
Seeds of the castor-oil plant are sur
prisingly common in Egyptian tombs.
Professor Larit, recent French IN
yestigator, finds that some seeds from
Thebes must be at least three thou-
sand years old, and from an ancient
papyrus concludes that the oil was
used for much the same purposes as
now.
The arsinoitherium, the new fossil
monster Of Egypt, had a head nearly
yard long, with pair of small horns
near the eyes and an enormous double
bony horn on the nasal region. Prof.
e. Ray Lancaster, however, finds that
it differs from the rhinoceros and was
probably descended from the early ele-
plants.
In order to supply the Coolgardie
and Kalgoorlie gold-fields in Western
Australia with water, an aqueduct is
under construction, leading from a
reservoir on the Helena river, 1913
miles distant, and 2,7O0 feet below the
level of the district to be supplied. The
water is to be carried in a 30
inch pipe, and elevated from table
land to table-land by means
Of eight pumping stations. The
cost Of the work is esti-
mated at $15,OOO,OOO, and the annual
expense for operating and interest at
$1,75O,OOO; but those who have under
taken it believe that the gold fields for
the benefit Of which they are working
are the richest in the world.
George Henschel tells in Nature Of
a musical feat by canary bird,
which, he says, seems to him SO won
derful that he should consider 1t In
credible if he had not, with his own
ears, heard it, not once, but dozens
Of times. A bullfinch had been taught
to pipe the tune of God Save the
King" and a young canary learned 1t
from him. Finally the canary became
so perfect in it's mastery Of the tune
that when the bullfnch, as sometimes
happened, stopped after the first half
little longer than the proper
rhythm warranted, the canary would
take up the tune where the bullfnch
had stopped, and finish it. This hap
pened when the respective cages con-
tanning the birds were in separate
rooms.
Of the slugs, or lung-breathing snails
with too small or internal shells or
none at all, about one thousand spe-
cies and five hundred varieties have
been described. Most Of these have
been brought together by Walter u.
Collinge, an English collector, who
shows specimens ranging In size from
that of a grain Of wheat to length
Of several inches, and in coloring from
dull, repulsive tints to the gorgeous
hues Of the butterfly. All slugs lay
eggs, the numbers varying from ten
to a hundred or more and the sizes
from that of a pin-point to that of a
sparrow's egg. A beautiful and very
rare South African species is a verit-
able tiger among it's kind, preying saw
agely on other slugs and on insects,
and several other species are carnivor-
Gus and friends of gardeners.

A Clever Love Song.

Some years ago a clever American
professor was asked by young lady
for a cipher that could be easily
worked without being too difficult TO
read, Whereupon he penned the follow
ing:
u 0 0, but l U;
o O no 0, but o me;
O let not my 0 0 go,
But give 0 0 y SO.
When the key to this is obtained It
fits like love song. The secret of it
lies in the facts that a naught is a
cipher and that it is easy to make this
word read Sigh for" whenever re-
CURED. 1t reads phonetically with per-
feet ease, but the written form is per-
haps more readily ineligible:
You sigh for cipher, but I sigh for you;
o sigh for no cipher, but 0 sigh for me.
0 let not my sigh for a cipher go,
But give sigh for sigh, for | sigh for you
