Mccormick, ILL.,, Sept 2S.-Miss
Ethel Bradshaw of this place has writ
ten letter, which is remarkable for
the character of the statements it
contains. AS her letter will be read
with interest, and probably with profit
by many women, it has been thought
advisable to publish it in part. Among
other things Miss Bradshaw says
Il had Kidney Trouble with the
various unpleasant symptoms which
always come with that disease, and l
have found a cure. / would strongly
advise all who may be suffering with
any form of Kidney Complaint to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
l have found to be entirely satisfac-
tory.
'This remedy is within the reach of

LITERARY NOTES.

The leading story in October ST
Nicholas, That Deer" an exciting
California story by Marian Warner
Wildman, is just as good for girls as
for boys, and is equally interesting
for the older folks as well. Besides
numerous other interesting stories,
the reader finds plenty of reading
more substantial and equally as in
teresting. "a Trip Through the
New York Assay Office" is of espe
cial interest to those of us who reside
in the mineral belt
While the October number of Cen
fury is truly sportsman's number
containing much of interest to the
sportsman, other departments have
not been neglected, there being three
articles of much variety by officers of
the United States government, deal
ing in a popular way with topics of
current interest, while in fiction the
number is especially rich. In the edi-
torial department are some plain
spoken words concerning the increase
of lynching and a discussion of THE
Cant About Hard Work." which are
especially interesting.
The Worlds Work for October is
striking number, typically American,
and presenting concretely many inter
esting phases of territorial and MUM
cipal progress and achievement. The
story of "The Human Legacy of
Jonathan Edwards" legacy of four
teen hundred descendants is told by
Edith A. Winship and is perhaps the
most convincing argument yet made
O. fnf
esting to Utahns, where large fami-
lies are not infrequent There are
many articles of interest in this num-
Der, which is most creditable one.
Country Life in America for Octo
Der is a superbly illustrated, double
Country Home number, and takes up
the various problems tnat cluster
about the building of a country house,
from how the cellar can be kept dry,
to the question of interior decorations.
1t is, in fact, a complete house build
ing manual. Many of the articles are
by prominent architects. There are
many articles of utmost interest, and
one especially timely to the citizens of
the west, being a discussion of The
Water Problem in the Country"
The October number of Outing is
gem, the stories being especially inter
esting to those familiar with outdoor
life as well as to the city-bred man
who, in times of trial and woe, long
for the privilege of wandering in the
fields and meadows amid the scenes
of his early childhood.
The Cosmopolitan for October
comes to us laden with good things
pleasing stories of fiction, articles OF
current interest, richly illustrated
and is, in fact, a number of which the
publishers of this most estimable mag.
azine may we'll be proud.

A siIkworm of the Sea.

Silk is obtained from the shellfish
known as the pima which is found
in the Mediterranean. This shellfish
has the power of spinning a viscid
silk, which in Sicily is made into a
regular and very handsome fabric.
The silk is spun by the shellfish in the
first instance for the purpose of at
taching itself to the rocks. 1t is able
to guide the delicate filaments to the
proper place, and there glue them fast,
and if they are cut away it can re-
produce them. The material, when

Great Statesman Gave Unflatterlne
Opinion of Himself.
A lady of one of the old families
living near Boston related to a writer
the other day an anecdote of Daniel
Webster which has never been in
print before. This lady happened to
be one of few friends who went
with Mr. Webster to the hall where
hung on exhibition, previous to its
final location in Faneuil hall, Mr.
Healy's now famous painting repre-.
senting Webster making his reply to
Hayne. "Mr. Webster" said the lady
was very feeble and was led in by
the artist. Ascending the platform
which commanded view of the pic
ture, Webster looked at it for some
minutes, making some pleasant OBJ,
servat;ons to his friends respecting
the different senators and the various
points of interest on the canvas. This
portrait and that were spoken of, and
even the pages recognized. Finally
turning to CO. Mr.. Webster quietly re,
marked: And as for that man stand
ing there in the center-well I've
seen better looking men in my day

CODES USED BY RULERS

European Monarchs Spend Much
Money on Messages.
No European ruler uses the tele-
graph so much as the Emperor Of
Russia. He uses a secret code both
for his private and his official mes
sages, and he spends $4,000 a year
in this kind of correspondence. EN-
peror William spends $4,000 a year
in the same way, and he uses a code
which he has invented himself and
which he finds very useful whenever
he desires to communicate with the
Cabinet Ministers or other prominent
officials.
The telegraph is not used to any
extent either by the King of Italy
the Emperor of Austria or the King
of Greece. but, on the other hand,
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
of England use it constantly. King
Edward signs his private dispatches
albert Edward" or BERTHE" and the
Queen, who always signs hers "Alex
andra," writes quite as many in Ger
man as in English. During 1902 the
amount expended by the royal couple
in this manner was between 81, O0C
and S12,000.-New York Times.

Knife and Fork Surgery.

Knife and fork surgery is the name
given by the students to a new meth.
cd of Koeing, of Berlin, by which he
avoids the danger of communicating
wounds by putting his fingers in
them. The surgeon performs many
operations without even touching the
tissues, much as we eat our meals
by aid of forks and spoons, instead
of clawing our food. BY practice
with suitably devised metal instru
ments, which, of course, are capable
of complete sterilization, he has
found that he can get through very
many operations, including that for
appendicitis in the quiescent inter
val, without even touching the wound.

Production Of Nitric Acid.

The production of nitric acid by
electro-chemical methods is a new
process that promises extensive
changes in our agriculture. The
manufacture of nitric acid from the
nitrogen and oxygen of the air in sui
icient quantities for commercial use
has been the dream and hope of sci
entists for years. At Niagara expert
ments have been conducted success
fully in producing commercial nitric
acid by using a high-tension current
n an air chamber. by which a yield Of
one pound of nitric acid is obtained
for every seven horsepower hours.
