Aren't those newspapers over-sensi-
tive that discover in the suggestion OF
Senator Dillingham; as leader of the
Vermont delegation to the coming
national convention evidence of "cut

critics admit that such a selection
would be wise. The fact that Senator
Proctor made the suggestion merely
indicates that he shares with other
Nermonters a high estimation Of his
colleague. 1t was very graceful
testimonial to brother senator. Yer

Ancient Speaking Trumpet.

A curiosity of great antiquity is to
be seen within ST. Andrews church at
Willoughton, near Gainsboro, Eng. 1t
is a quaint speaking trumpet with an
obscure early history, dating back to
the times of the Knights Templar. In
shape it resembles a French horn, and
is more than five feet long, having a
bell at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet in length, but
is now telescoped at the joints, where
the metal has APPARENTLY decayed. Ira
dition declares it was formerly sound
ed from the tower to summon aid in
case of need.

A Remarkable Lighthouse.

The most extraordinary of all Brit
ish lighthouses is to be found on Arm
ish Rock, Stornoway Bay-a rock
which is separated from the Island of
Lewis by a channel over 500 feet
wide. On this rock a conical beacon
is erected, and On its summit a lam
tern is fixed, from which, night after
night, shines a light which is seen
by the fishermen far and wide. The
way in which this lighthouse is
illuminated is this: On the Island
of Lewis is a lighthouse, and from
window in the tower a stream of
light is projected on to a mirror in
the lantern on the summit of Arnish

Mrs Hanna Lind, 80 years old and

IMAGES for the Blind.

One of the latest and most ingenious
Inventions for the instruction and de
light OF the blind, is a moving picture
apparatus which has just been con-
structed by a young French scientist,
NJ. F. Dussant. In the machine the pic
lures are shown by images in relief,
and are apprehended, not by the eye,
but by the touch. Through this de
vice it has been made possible to give
to the blind an idea of the motion and
displacement of objects in which the
images in relief take the place of
photographs. These reliefs, passing
more or less swiftly under their fin
gers, enable them to follow with H.
terest, and at the same time with
profit for their intellectual develop
ment, the flight of bird. the motion
OF the stars in the sky, the galloping
of a horse, q train of cars in motion,
etc.

A Qou's Vitality.

A startling story of canine vitality
comes from Dover, England. A park

stolen. On passing a rabbits hole,
twenty-eight days after his loss, he
heard a faint bark, and on the hole be-

Cabbel, kans., Dec. 22nd.-This
part of Kansas has solved the great
question, How can Kidney Troubles
be cured, and as Rheumatism, Bright's
Disease, Diabetes and other ailments
resulting from Diseased Kidneys are
common to all parts of the country
the news is of great interest.
The cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Hundreds of people will tell you this
of their own experience. Take J. B.
Cunningham for example. He had
Kidney Trouble of long standing. He
sought relief in vain. He had tried
Doctors and Medicines of different
kinds.
Finally he tried Dodd's Kidney Pills
and he stopped right there. No one
who tries Dodd's Kidney Pills for
Kidney Complaint ever needs to look
any further Here is what Mr.. Cum

rapid-fre gun recently, the range be-
iEg on the water. By some mistake

them up. and they were served to the

sends it down a wire which in the
meantime he has rugged up communi-

Some years ago gambling was pro-

could to suppress the vice. 1t turns
out, however, that this laudable action

labor in the mines. in that part of
the country, rank gambling among
the necessities of life, and the prohi-
