most complete satisfaction is expressed
in this district over results obtained
recently by using Dodd's Kidney Pills
for those complaints resulting from dis

Mrs. Lydia Parker says for example:
Il was troubled with Backache, says
Mrs. Parker, ''and all the time when

me in the back and I could not straight

Il sent and got a couple of boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and before had

gone and it has not been back since"

experiences with odds Kidney Pills,
and their popularity ) steadily on the

Killed BY The Dead.

There are two well authenticated
cases where men have been killed by
the dead. In the second Afghan wal
an English officer, a we'll known
swordsman, rode out to tackle an AT
CHAN chief, who, after the fashion OF
his countrymen, had challenged al
and sundry to a fight. Both were
mounted. They rode around each
other, watching an opportunity, and
the Englishman found his just little
too soon. He rode at the Afghan and
ran him through the heart just as he
was swinging his heavy sword above
his head. The Afghan died, but the
sword came down and split the Of
ficer's skull. The man was, of course,
dead, but the weight Of the sword
brought down by his falling body was
enough to get the blow home. A
somewhat similar case was reported
from Spion Kop. There the beers
found sergeant apparently just TAX
ing aim, finger on trigger. He was
quite dead, for he had been shot
the head. A boer tried to pull
the weapon out OF his grasp, the dead
finger drew the trigger and he was
shot through the heart.

HER RECIPE,

Beside the mOlding board she stand
And deftly Sits the flour,
And quickly moves her pretty hands
To mix the sweet and sour;
While he, enlisted her recruit,
Sits gay and smiling by,
And pares and cores the ruddy fruit
To make an apple pie.
Last May they fingered side by side
Beneath the blOssOmed Dough,
And picked the fruit at autumn-tlde
All ripe and rosy now;
And gathering apples he and she
A task so blissful found.
That orchard tree, it needs must be
A graft from Eden ground.
Now when the pie is passed around
What time the good folk dine,
And all agree they never found
A recipe SO fine,
Do any guess a reason why
All, twas no common spice,
The flavor of that apple pie
Came straight from Paradise.

When last winters season of pre-
liminary training at Meerut was ended
this high born corps moved to Delira,
farther north. There were examna-
tons by military commandments to test
the progress Of the body, individually
and collectively, and inspections by
the viceroy. The corps was then laid
off for the summer.
This winter it is more than probable
that the small and highly aristocratic
troops will march in the durDar
pageant, and in that case it will prob
ally be the most unusual and high
born of all the dusky corps that ever
marched in India, knee to knee, in the
manner Of so many plain troopers.
