hands it passes through before reach
ing the person 1t Is intended for, the
wonder is that all cipher messages do
not contain mistakes. The operator
licked it off to the cable station at
Hongkong, writes the Northwestern
Christian Advocate. From there it
was sent to Singapore; 1t entered
India, was caught up at Madras and
hurried on to Bombay; with lightning
wings it flew to Alden in Arabia,
where 1t was put on the cable to
Suez, Africa. Then began the race to-
ward Europe by the way of Malta,
Gibraltar and Lisbon, ending on the
eastern hemisphere at London. From
the English capital it made another
deep-sea Journey to New York. and
from there was telegraphed overland
to Washington, having been trans.
cribed no fewer than fifteen times.

The Bud of a Tree.

Among the curious things recently
discovered by the students Of plant
life is the fact that bud taken from
one tree and grated on another, car
ries the age of the original tree with
it, 1t has always been believed that
the bud so transferred began q
wholly new life, but this new theory
it may, after all, be more theory
than fact, as yet-shows the matter
in an entirely different light.
For example, If a bud be taken
from tree that is twenty-five years
old with a natural life of fifty years
and grated on another tree, 1t will
not live as long as its parent tree Is
entitled to live, the full fifty years.
but only FOR the period Of life then

A Cure for Rheumatism.

clans are much puzzled over the case
Of Mr.. f. J. Oswald of this place. Mr..
Oswald suffered much with Rheuma'
tism and was treated by doctor after
doctor with the result that he got no
better whatever. They seemed I'M
able to do anything for him, and he
continued 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 1t.
This Is the same remedy that cured
Hon. Fred A. Busse our State Treas
urer, Of very severe case Of Rheu-
matism some years ago and which has
since had an unbroken record Of sue
cess In curing all forms Of Rheuma-
tism and Kidney Trouble.

painful diseases that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will not cure promptly and per-

kings.

believe that the spectacle Of mon
arch careering through his dominions
on a bicycle Is calculated to strike a

Of refractory subjects, or whether
they purchase the machines for the

To Make ljly from a Candle.

Here is something that will be sure
to please the girls. You will be sur
prised, perhaps, to hear that you may
construct a spray of lilies of the val
ley out of spermaceti candle and a
few pieces of wire.
Get six or eight pieces of very fine
wire and bend each of them into a
curve at one end, terminating with a
hook. Now hold q lighted spermaceti
candle over a glass of water and let
half dozen drops Of the wax fall into
the water. Each drop, as soon as 1t
touches the water, will be transformed
into a little floating white cup.
These cups will have exactly the
size and shape of the little bell flowers
Of the lily of the valley, and they may
be made large or small, according to
the distance at which you hold the
candle from the water
Now take one of the little wires and

Dolls for the Dolls House.

Here is an easy and cheap way for
little girls to make dollies for the
dolls house.
First, ask mother for any magazine
or paper that has figures Of ladies
and children In 1t.
After choosing those you like, get
your paint box and set to work to
paint them. Do not use much water
Then get a pair of blunt scissors
and cut them out very carefully (but
be sure to wait until the paint is
dry).
The next thing Is to have a piece
of pasteboard or thin cardboard
which you can buy at any stationer's
for one penny the sheet and paste

to cover the whole sheet with them

warm the straight end of it, and while
1t is warm run it through the center
of one of the wax cups. This should
be done while the cup is still in the
water.
Then push the cup down to the
hooked end of the wire. from which it
will hang just like the bell flower Of
the lily. Having thus pierced six or
eight of the cups, twist the wire to-
gether, the smaller cups above the
larger ones below, and put the spray
thus completed in a small vase in
which are green paper leaves.
The effect will be far more delicate
and beautiful than one would think
and the wax cups will have the white
ness, the transparency and tie pretty
indentations of the real flowers.

Who Slated FirstY

1t Is very doubtful which race first
skated, for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
Northern Europe indicating that the
art was practiced by primitive PEG
pies. The Eskimos of the farthesi
north are also found to be In posses
sion Of runners carved from whale
bone.
Skating is mentioned by Danish
historian about 1884, and Fitzstephen
In his History of London" says that
in the twelfth century young men fas
tened the leg bones Of animals under
their feet by means Of thongs In order
to slide along the Ice. This statement
Is confirmed by the pair of bone
skates Of the period, now in the Brit
ish Museum. 1t Is likely, however
that these early Londoners got tn,
idea from Holland, probably via Lin

used on the frozen fens from very re
