Alhambra, H., Mar 23rd:-Phy sieians are
much puzzled over the case of Mr.. f. J. Os-
valid, of this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism 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 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 Treasurer, of a
very severe case of Rheumatism some years
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record of success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these pain
full diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure promptly and permanently.

well that a pack of these animals
numbering not more than dozen
are able to draw a half ton load. Iii
the country districts of the United
States heavy breeds of dogs, such as
the Newfoundland or the mastiff, are
still used to churn butter and do
other chores by means of tread
mill. But the American dog should
not hold his head too high. He may
be compelled to relinquish some OF
his leisure as the world becomes
more and more practical, and, like
his European relatives, be made to
put his intelligence and strength to
material uses. In certain coal mines
of Ohio the dog has already been re-
duced to the grade of a laborer, and
the utilization of dog power in draw
ing cars of coal has proved most
satisfactory. AS the German farmer
harnesses his dog to little road,
wagon and hauls his vegetables to
market, or the Flemish milkman ties
his mastiff to the axle of his cart,
so the Ohio miner bitches a tandem
team of dogs to car and makes
them draw out the coal over a min
nature railway.
The dog has been found practicable
in these mines, for the reason that
the coal veins are narrow and mules
are too large The miners them
selves are badly pinched for room,
and are compelled to work often
times lying on one side or half kneel-
ing. The coal is bituminous, and IS
all separated by means of picks, with
out the aid of powder.
The Ohio coal mine dog not only
possesses great strength for his
small frame, but is far more faithful
than the animals ordinarily used for
traction purposes. None are of pure
breed, but all have in their veins good
quantities of the blood of the mas
tiff or the bulldog. Dogs of the
same team work together harmO-
niously, but entertain remarkable
jealousy for those of a rival team.
Thus, when several carloads of coal
are travelling out of the mine, one
behind the other, the dogs of the
hindermost team strain every muscle
to keep up with those ahead.
The miners feed their helpmates
once day, for dog will refuse food
while he is working. well trained
animal is worth from $18 to $25, or
about the sum a miner earns in d
week. Most of the miners treat their
dogs kindly, for they cannot fail to
admire the patience and faithfulness
with which they toil.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE SLEEPY MAN.

Nurse says the sleepy man
Is coming-Iet us run,
And watch him through the keyhole;
Twill be such glorious fun"
SO they softly crept to the playroom.
Little Ted and bIued-eyed Nan;
And waited long and patiently
To see the sleepy man.
At last it came their bedtime,
And nurse looked all around
For Baby Nan and Little TED,
But neither could be found.
So then she sought their playroom,
And 10, behind the door,
The sleepy man had caught, them both
And laid them on the floor.

AT THE SUMMIT.

He started when the days were fair
And all the slopes were glad and green,
When all the world was free from care
And peace spread over every scene,
TO reach a goal that Hope had set
Far, far ahead upon a height
And, Drawing all the foes he met,
Kept on the way with all his might.
He found a thousand cares that he
Was forced to bear along the way,
But Love smiled on him joyously
And journeyed with him day by day:
New hopes succeeded those that died,
And little triumphs made him glad,
And men who fell behind him sighed
To have such blessings as he had.
At last, one day he reached the goal,
So high, 50 distant at the start,
But joy came not to fill his soul,
Nay there was sorrow in his heart:
The place was high that he had won,
And still a splendid place and fair
But after all his work was done,
He turned to find his rival there.

BIBLICAL DISCOVERIES.
Egypt Has Been for Many Years the
Scene of Great Activity in
Excavatins.

The land of the Pharaoh during the
last so years has been a scene of great
activity on the part of the excavator.
Here are brought to light not only the
great monuments of antiquity, but the
builders themselves who set up the
monuments. In Babylonia bas-relief
picture Of Amraphel, the cOntempor-
airy of Abraham, was found, but in
Egypt we are permitted to gaze upon
the very features of the Pharaohs that
knew not Joseph, but oppressed Israel.
or the one that was forced to iberate
them from their bondage. Every line
in the Pentateuch which refers to
Egypt has been shown through the ex-
cavations to be in remarkable accord
with the facts revealed, says the Wom
ans Home Companion.
The discovery which has been more
important than any other in throwing
light upon the early history of Pales-
tine, and which has had a greater bear
ing upon Biblical criticism, is the find
of over 800 inscribed clay tablets in
Egypt at a place called Tel el-AmarNa.
ly powers and vassals from various
parts of western Asia to the Pharaohs,
Amenophis III. and ", who ruled
about the middle of the fifteenth CEN
fury before Christ. As French is the
diplomatic language throughout the
world at the present day; as Greek was
used in the time of Christ, and Aramaic
in the time o. Isaiah, the BabyloniaD
language was used in the time of Moses.
The letters are written upon clay tab
lets. mostly in the Babylonian Ian
guage and script. They show how ex-
tensive was the knowledge and use of
writing about the time of the conquest,
especially in Palestine. This was in
direct opposition to the theories of the
negative critics, who claimed, in their
efforts to show that the Pentateuch
could not have been written in the
time of Moses, that the people of that
country were illiterate and semibar-
barous. But still more important was
the most welcome light thrown upon
the condition of affairs in Palestine of
that time, which is in such remarkab BILE
accord with the books of Joshua and
Judges.

FRUIT BREEDING A SCIENCE.

Some Notable Triumphs Of the De.
partment Of Agriculture.
Fruit breeders have produced muny
marvels; but nothing quite akin to the
unaided performance of a tree in For
farshire, Scotland, which last year
grew apples, and whose branches are
this year reported to be laden with
pears. There are more than 500 diff
ferent standard kinds of apples on the
English market and more than 500
different kinds Of pears, but a tree
with an alternating crop of apples and
pears is an unaccountable oddly. New
varieties of fruit are frequently pro-
duced in the laboratories of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
where fruit breeding is carried to q
scientific perfection. Other expert
mentors have made wonderful crosses
with peaches and nectarines, and the
plumcot is new fruit obtained by
breeding the Japanese plum and the
common apricot.
