A Good story.

Frederika, Ia, July 18th. Mr.. A. s.
Grover, of this place, tells al interesting
story showing how sick people may regain
their health # they will only be guided by
the experience of others. He says:
II had a very bad case Of Kidney Trouble,
which affected M urinary organs so that |
had to get up every hour Of the night.
could not retain my urine and my feet and
limbs begin to bloat up. My weight was
quickly running down.
after l had tried many things in vain,
l began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, a med.
icine which had cured some other very bad
cases.
This remedy has done wonders for me.
[. have gained eight pounds in two months.
The bloat has all gone from my feet and
legs, and | don't have to get up at night.
| took in all about ten boxes before | was
all sound"
Those who suffer as did Mr.. Grover can
make no mistake in taking Dodd's Kidney
Pills, for they are a sure, safe and perma-
nent cure for all Kidney and urinary dis.
orders.

Between Bagdad and the Persian gulf,
about 500 miles along the Tigris, is a
desert in which Sir William Willcocks
finds the same engineering opportunities
that are being improved in Egypt. As
late as $40, A. d., this land of Chaldea
was made one of the most fertile and
prosperous centers of agriculture,
through a great irrigation system, with
a main canal $50 miles long and an i'm
mepse number of subsidiary canals. For
the first ten miles the great canal, with
a width of 65 feet, was cut through hard
conglomerate rock, to a depth of so feet.
With neglect of the works, the main
stream of the Tigris became diverted,
the old bed of the river silted up, the ir.
rigation system fell into ruins, and only
mounds on the barren plain mark the
sites of the ancient villages. To reclaim
nearly 5000, 900 acres by a new irrigation
system is Sir Williams hope.-London

AN EARLY GRIST MILL.
fered Through the Reckless
ness of a RacOcOn.

Down in the city of Quincy the old
settlers tell the following story about
one of the first if nc. the first mill for
grinding corn produced in that local
ity, relates a Chicago paper.
The mill was the invention of a To-
cal genius whose name has been for
gotten, though the mill and it's mechan-
ism are still remembered. The mill
was constructed near the waters edge
at the foot of a bluff from the face of
which poured a spring of considerable
volume. In proper proximity to this
spring a heavy post with a natural
fork at the top was set firmely in the
ground, and balanced in this fork was
a long and slender but very tough pole,
probably a hickory sapling. AS one
end of the pole was suspended by raw
hid a smooth bowlder of perhaps a
hundred pounds weight and on the
other end was constructed a box large
enough to contain about SO gallons of
water. The affair resembled an old
fashioned well sweep, and was so
placed that the water of the spring
fell into the box in a steady stream,
thus depressing that end of the pole
and elevating the end sustaining the
bowdler. When the water in the box
reached a certain height it was au.
tomatically discharged by means of a
float and sliding door, thus taking the
weight from that end of the pole. The
bowlder, relieved of its counterpoise,
fell by it's own weight, and with great
force, into a sort of mortar prepared
for its reception or the ground below.
This mortar was a section of a tree
trunk followed to hold a bushel or so
of corn.
The mill worked perfectly. The wa,
ter Of the spring flowing steadily into
the box elevated the bowlder. The wa.
ter released, the bowlder fell into the
mortar, crushing the corn placed there,
and the box filling again, raised the
stone for another fall. and so the
grinding, or rather crushing, went IN.
A bushel Of corn placed in the NOR
S0A oC IlShI Woulu uC lOuuu lIOIOuSu-
ly ground in the morning, and the
mill was never idle.
One morning a citizen went to the
mill to remove his grist, placed in posi-
ton the night before. He found that
some animal, probably a coon, had in
vaded the mortar. doubtless attracted
by the corn, and had become a part
of the grist. and had been thoroughly
ground and mixed with the meal.
The story soon spread abroad and
the mill became unpopular, as did its
product. A Quincy man has never
been able to disassociate in his mind
the thought of ground corn and ground
coon. So corn bread is to this day
unpopular in that city.

PRACTICAL MISSIONARIES.
Savers of Souls in Foreign Landa
Must Know Much of Ma
terial Things.

Missionaries often find, it neces.
sary, if not be masters of many
trades, at least to have some knowl-
edge of the practical details of daily
life. An instance of this kind is
given by Mr.. Cousins in his MAD
agascar of To-day"
Soon after the dismissal of Mr..
Lyall, the British agent, the queen
began to show uneasiness at the
growing influence of foreign ideas,
and wished to get rid of the mission
aries. Messengers of the queen were
sent to tell them that they had been
a long time in the country, and it
was now time for them to think of
returning to their own land.
"The missionaries. alarmed at this
message, answered that they had
only begun to teach some of the ele-
ments of knowledge, and that very
much remained to be impaired. They
mentioned sundry branches of edu-
cation, among which were the Greek
and Hebrew languages, which had
been already partially taught to
some. The messengers returned to
the queen, and soon came back with
this answers:
"The queen does not are much for
Greek and Hebrew. Can you teach
something more useful? Can you, for
instance, teach how to make soap?'
'This was an awkward question to
address to theologians, but after a
moments pause Mr.. Cameron said,
Give me a week to answer this ques-
tion.'
"At the end of the week the
queens messenger again appeared.
and Mr.. Cameron was able to present
to them q bar of tolerably good
white soap, made entirely from ma
terials found in the country. This
was AN excellent answers; and the
manufacture of soap was forthwith
introduced, and is still continued to
the present day, although no one
would now venture to call the SOAP
white.
"As a result Of the making of this
bar of soap the mission gained n rest
pite of five years."

The home of the Hada Indians is Queen Charlotte islands off the
the coast Of British Columbia to which they belong, though scattered
members OF the tribe are to be found in the southern portion OF
Alaska. They are supposed to have come originally from Asia, and
have some characteristics that point to such an origin. They are ex-
perts at tattooing, and cover their entire bodies with quaint figures.
Throughout their villages, and especially before the chiefs home,
may be found queer images called totem poles, which they worship.
The tribe is rapidly decreasing in numbers, there being much less than
1000 of them at the present time.
