many men in this neighborhood used TO
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlicb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first Of all found the remedy for thi.
Backnche. He has recommended it to all
his friends and n%eighbors, and in every
case it has had wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:-
FOR many years ! had been troubled
with my Kidneys and palms in the small

did not derive any benefit until last fall,
when | bought a dozen boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. After using them a few

CHAPTER XIII.
The Dwarf Makes an Early Call.


From one Of the watch-towers Of
the town rang the clear note Of
trumpet, a tribute of melody, occa-
stoned by the awakening in the east:
AS the last clarion tones re-echoed
over the sleeping village, a crimson
rim appeared above the horizon and
soon the entire wheel Of the chariot
of the sun-god rolled up out of the
illimitable abyss and began it's daily
race across the sky. The stolid bugler
tyawned, tucked his trumpet under his
arm, and, having perfunctorily per-
formed the duties of his office,
tramped downward with more alacrity
than he had toiled upward.
I. About the same time the sleepy
guard at the town gate was relieved by
an equally drowsy-appearing trooper;
here and there windows were flung
open, and around the we'll in the small
public square the maids began to con-
gregate: In the tap-room of the tav-
ern the landlord moved about setting
to rights the tables and chairs, or
sprinkling fresh sand on the floor.
THE place had a stale, close
sodor, as tho not long since
vacated by an inabstinent company,

disorder of the furniture, and the evil

A NEW VARIETY

acteristics Of both parents. but from
the hardy one it gets its habit of
being deciduous, and It's ability to re-
sist frosts and to mature Its crop in
the summer. Even If we: never get
anything more than we now have In
this hybrid, we would consider the
new acquisition Of great value. 1t is
a small orange capable of growing in
fifteen or twenty states where
oranges cannot now grow, an orange
which is inferior to the ordinary
orange of commerce, but which would
have a commercial value for 'ades,'
extracts and other purposes. :. In taste
it combines the characteristics of the
orange and the grape fruit and re-
sembles in some respects the lime.
But, as / have said, it is the next
generation-the one to be produced
from these seeds-to which we shall
look for the great results, and so
we'll known and certain are the laws
of plant breeding that we can speak
of these results with, the greatest de-
gree of assurance. The first hybrid
is usually like this, combining in about
equal quantities the traits Of each
parent. The next generation wilIsshow
every conceivable variety to be de-
rived by combining the parents traits
and lot of perfectly new and start
ling disclosures. Some Of the off,
spring will take after one parent, and
ers will take after neither. Some will
exhibit the phenomena of atavism,
and go back to the grandparents, or
perhaps skip to several generations
back, while others will resemble moth
ing but themselves. It is from this
great variety that we can hope to be
able to select something which will be
of great value to the orange indus
try, and, In fact, to the world at large.
We will doubtless be able to get a
very edible orange which will be de-
ciduous in its habits. We will also be
able to get the hardy trait Of the
dectduous tree for the Florida orange,
we will get an orange which ripens
during the summer, the tree being
quiescent during the winter. We will
doubtless get something Of flavor from
the Chinese trifoliate orange and we
will doubtless get some results which
will be as much surprises as If a new
fruit had been discovered. Altogether
the prospect Is fascinating"
