A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, March 29.-Physi-
clans are much puzzled over the case
Of Mr.. +. j. Oswald of this place. Mr..
Oswald suffered much with Rhe,ma-
tism and was treated by doctor after
doctor with the result that he got no
better whatever. They seemed unable
to do anything for him and he contin-
ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment Of
this remedy which very soon did for
him what the doctors had failed to do
and they cannot understand it.
This Is the same remedy that cured
Hon. Fred A. Busse, our State Treas
urer, Of a very severe case Of Rheu:na-
tism some years ago and which has
since had an unbroken record Of sue
cess in curing all forms Of rheumatism
and Kidney Trouble.
There Seems to be no case of these
painful diseases that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will not cure promptly and perma-
nently.

MINING NEWS.

in Cochlse county, a force ot men are at work clearing out the lower
 workings and getting things Tn
 readiness for an active resumption
 of work. Two cars of good ore, containing manganese, were ship
 ped during last week, the ore being
 hauled from the mine to the rail-
 road by Contractor Herrick of
 Fairbanks. Colonel Herring is still looking after the arrangements
 for the opening of the property and
 is much pleased over the present Aoutlook of it.
 Jerome Mining News; There has not been as much excitement in the mining world of Jerome since the great gold strike made by q. w. Hull in the May Queen claim, some ten or twelve years ago, as has been created by the extraor- Binary good showing now being made by continued work on the property of the Eureka Gold and Copper Mining company, located about ten miles south of Jerome. The past weeks development on this property exposed such splen- did showing of ore that the com pany at once increased the price of its stock POO per cent.
 Miner According to the Mohave county Miner, s. B. Bagg, of the New Comstock, reports that last week he discovered the lost vein in the hanging wall of the Boulevard mine, of the Sheeptrail group, as- says from which run from $50 to $70 to the ton in gold. It was the loss of the vein that caused the shutting down of the Sheeptrail mine a few years ago by the Bos- ton company. The vein faulted and a slip on the footwall was fol- lowed in the belief that the vein would come. but it never showed \ up. Now Mir. Bagg, in cutting into the hanging wall in a drift on the '100-foot level, opened up eighteen l inches Of vein that is as rich as any of the ore milled from the l property.
 Bisbee Miner: Among the heavy i mining investments in Mexico is 1 the Moctezuma mine in the stare of Sonora, on which Phelps, Dodge -& Co., have spent more than $6,- 100000 during the last few years. One of the notable works of this mine is the drainage and trans portation tunnel. which will tap the ore deposits at a depth of 2,500 feet. Construction has been sus- pended on the tunnel because of the great volume of water that came from the breast nearly two miles from the portal. As soon as this water flow is sufficiently dim Finished, the work will be contin- ued. The complete tunnel will be four miles long, and railroad trains will be taken to the workings of the mine and there loaded for the shelter, said to be one of the most remarkable mining feats on re- cord.

quite as much a man as was his grand
father at IS, one might naturally ex-
pect that in due gradation the mod
ern middle-aged man should be old be-
yond his years. But such is not the
case. Middle age, so far from hur-
rying on into senility, SO far even
from standing still, would seem ac-
tually to have stepped backwards and
marched alongside of youth. There
is a jauntiness, buoyancy, an elas-
ticity about the middle-aged parent Of
to-dayat which our fathers would have
shaken their heads as unseemly. The
gulf which once separated the mid die
aged parent from his children has
been filed up. The curtain which
shrouded the middle-aged man gen.
orally from the eyes of youth, and
which caused him to be regarded with
respect, if not with awe, has been
lifted, and in obedience to the same
influences which have made the school
master the friend of the schoolboy, and
the regimental officer almost the COM
rade of his men, the middle-aged man
of to-day is never SO happy as when
working or playing upon an equality
with and actually in competition with
youth.

THE MIDDLE AGED.
FOrty-Five IL No Longer Regarded
as an Age Mt Which People
Are Thought Old.

If the progress of education, and the
consequent general development of the
intellect of the individual; the fre-
uuency of what our grandparents
would have called youthful precocity,
is remarka BILE, almost as significant is
what may be described as the refusal
of middle age to accept its traditional
position in the journey of life, says
the London Spectator. Half century
ago man of As was regarded almost
as elderly, and a woman of the same
age was expected to have long since
cut herself adrift from all ties bind
ing her to her youth, and to assume
the appearance and department of
staid, exemplary matron. All this has
changed in a particularly interesting
way, of which the prominent feature
is a seeming contradiction. If the
three-year-old child of to-day is as
knowing as was the six-year-old of
half century ago. and the ten-year-
old boy of to-day is in many resrecta

THE STOCKING BASKET.
1t Contains Work About Which Th ere
In Peculiar Charm for
the Housewife.

Mending stockings might well be
thought prosaic occupation if not a
dull one. The woman who sits down
every week before 20 pairs, worn by
active feet, big and little, often finds
the pile discouraging, although she
would not have it smaller by a single
pair, says Youths Companion.
But there is a curious, half-myster-
ious charm in the work. 1t is as if it
typified all wifely and motherly duty.
Even the maiden aunt, with darning-
needle in her hand, has the air of the
matron. The contest corner in the
house is most fit for the stocking
basket and its presiding genius. An
incontestable verdict against gor-
geous palace recently built by a rich
man was pronounced by a woman, her
self both refined and rich: "There isn't
a spot in the whole house where could
darn stocking!'
that the modern stocking should have
taken the place held by the medieval
shield. To bide at home and polish the
shield was then the sign of wifeIy de-
votion. The worn stocking may not
lend itself so easily to the demands Of
poetry, but it is none the less beauti-
full and appropriate symbol.
There was a time within 20 years
when it seemed as if stocking g-mending
were doomed. The needle was temper
arily discarded. A clever writer, speak
ing of the fact. said it was the natural
reaction from an age which worked
wool parrots with beaded eyes to an
age which hires outsiders to darn its
stockings. But to-day the pendulum
has swung back, and my lady presides
again over the stocking basket,
whether it is filed with dainty Partisan
hose of silk, or with stout wooler
| socks. fit for tussle with thorn and
| wind and weather.

VIII Keep "walled CITY.

The walls about the city of Manila
are not to be destroyed. The proposed
innovation met with such storm Of
protest that Secretary Root has given
orders to Governor Taft to let the walls
alone. Manila is now the only walled
city in the orient and many people in
America, as well as the Philippines, pro-
tested against the destruction of the
old fortifications on the ground that
it would be an act of iconoclasm. No
part of the wall will be disturbed, al
though it is probable that as sanitary
measure the moat will be filled up.
