plenty of Coal Now.

The coal famine is at an end in this
city and all those desiring fuel can get
it at a few hours notice. At almost all
the yards the railroad sidings are filled
with coal cars. It is probable the price
will drop within a few months, but The
experience of many has taught them
that they should get coal when. they
can and it is not likely the coal will ac-
cumulate very fast, as most people will
get their supply for next winter during
the summer months.

SULTANA BECAME LAUNDRESS.
English Girl Ruled a Persian Prin-
cipality-Afterward Engaged
in Business in London.

The former sultana of a province
on the Persian gulf is now a Iaun-
dress in the west end of London. and
she is much better satisfied with her
present than with her former posi-
ton. While still a girl in her teens
this woman was married to a man
of an adventurous turn, who went
out to the eastern seas and became a
trader" among obscure islands, and
along the seldom-visited shores of the
Indian ocean and the Gulf of Persia
A trader in the gulf parlance of
those days meant smuggler of
arms, ammunition and rum. 1t was
strange life, in which days of great
activity alternated with periods of
dangerous ease; life in which it was
always either fast or a feast. and
the woman liked it and partook with
her husband of all it's dangers and
rewards, relates London paper.
Among the customers of the
trader" was the shereef of Tai
March. Taj-Mareb is walled town
and state of about dozen square
miles, situated in the Beni-Harjar
country on the western shore of the
Persian gulf. The shereef, or sui
tan, being progressive, determined to
reorganize his army and supply it
with modern arms in order to in
crease its efficiency as looting and
devastating force. He therefore
made a contract with the trader for
supply of muskets, and the same
were promptly deliyeredss being. con

A woman's Back.

Dublin, Mich, June 29th.-To the many
women who suffer with weak back and pains
and tired feelings in the small of the back,
the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this
place will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Chalker had suffered very great
deal with these back pains and although
she, had tried many things, she could find
nothing that would relieve her. The pain
kept on in spite of all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the story of
another lady who had suffered with the
backache, and said she had been cured by a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs.
Chalker thought she would try the same
thing.
After the first two boxes had been taken
according to directions, she began to feel
some better, and she kept on till at last she
was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she is very
grateful. She says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
helped me greatly, and l will always recon.
mend them as cure for Pain in the Back.

Leaf-Cutting Bees.

The leaf-cutting bees are near rela-
tives of the honey and bumble-bees,
which they closely resemble. They de-
rive their name from the habit you
have observed of cutting out bits OF
leaves for their cells. The circular
pieces are for the ends of the cells, and
the oblong pieces for the sides. These
cells are usually in burrows cut into
wood, for some of the leaf-cutting bees
like the carpenter bees, have the talent
of cutting holes into wood.--St. Nicho

EGYPTIAN MUMMY IS
ADMITTEDLY GENUINE
Government Experts Vouch for Nativity
of Amen Hotep.

BOSTON. Mass, Aug. 15.-Once more
the spirit of Amen Hotep, an Egyptian
celebrity of 2300 years ago, can bear its
head erect and feel that it has transmitted
an unstained name to its descendants.
For the past year this distinguished ma
tive of the land of the pyramids has been
suspected of being a fake Amen Hotep
if alive, would probably be unable to
grasp the full meaning of the word
fake but from the handling his mum
mified remains have undergone from the
customs officers he would know that he
was under suspicion. This in itself would
be an affrOnt to an Egyptian lord who
claimed descent from the gods
The board of classification of the Unit
ed States general appraisers has decided
that Amen Hotep is not an unenumerated
manufactured article, but preparation Of
anatomy. The story of how this ancient
celebrity's remains came To need justi-
fication at the hands Of modern govern
ment officials is an interesting one When
the mummy of Amen Hotep was brought
to this city the local custom inspectors
suspected 1t was not genuine decided
that 1t was subject to an ad valorem duty
OF 20 per cent of its assessed value thus
placing it in the class of manufactured ar
ticles. The firm to which It was consigned
objected and made an appeal Offering
documents as proof Of the genuineness Of
the mummy. The decision announced by
the appraisers sustains their contention.
