Reads Like a Miracle.

Moravia, N. Y, Dec. l2th.--(Special)-
Bordering on the miraculous is the case
of Mrs. Benz. Wilson, of this place. SUI,
fering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted
away till from weighing 200 lbs: she
barely tipped the scales at 40 lbs. Dodd 8
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking OF her
cure her husband says:
MY wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years
and doctored with two doctors, but re-
ceived no benefit. She had so much pain
all over her that she could not rest day
or night The doctor said that she could
not live.
Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodds Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a
God-Sent remedy to us and we recon-
mend them to all suffering from Kidney
Disease"

be very voluminous, but what fullness
there is must come above. This fact
borne in mind, there is infinite variety
obtainable by the infinite number of peo-
pie that are DESTROYS of following the
fashions but want chance for individual
preferences. The mutton-leg sleeve,
periodically revived, has some admirers,
but it is considered the best taste not
to exaggerate the width at the top.

Modern Abuses Follow the Organiza.
tion Along Western Plans.
For a long time the Japanese were
wary Of English and American sys-
tens Of industry. The people did not
like the idea Of bell hours, but prefer
red working such hours as suited
their own sweet wills.
But slowly the "model factory" was
eEgrafted upon the people, and with 1t
have grown up the evils Of long hours
and child slavery. Several Taps" are
now in this country studying our in
dustrial systems and the organization
Of our labor unions by which the
workingmen have been able to reduce
the hours Of labor and compel the
legislature to protect the children.
The 'model factories" which are be-
ing erected in Japan employ tots Of
Z years old, and work twelve, thirteen
and fourteen hours. Young boys and
girls are crowded into insanitary
boarding houses under the worst COR
ditions. With their wages Of 8 and 10
cents a day the manufacturer is en-
abld to make money. Not only Is the
model workingman's home missing,
but in the corporation clearinghouse
the operatives are said to be sadly un-
derfed.
But the "Japs" are not the people to
put up with these abuses forever. In
stitutes Of social science are being or
gantzed and the labor union viii soon
be an established fact. Cheap labor,
long hours and child slavery will be
apt to be short-lived among the
Yankees Of the East."-Boston Globe.

Little Bird IR q Fighter.

The English sparrow, noted for its
pugnacity, has one adversary it fears
to encounter. 1t has banished nearly
all the native singing birds from their
customary haunts, but has thus far
failed to frighten OF the smallest Of
them all, the humming bird.
The familiar principle of physics
that the striking power of a body in
motion is equal to its weight multi
piled by its velocity is the secret of
the humming birds superiority over
the sparrow. The humming birds
weight Is small, but its speed is high,
and Its buzzing haste has genuine ter.
ror for its larger enemy.
The uneasy cries Of a sparrow at
tracted the attention of an observer
the other day, who presently discov-
cred the sparrow sitting well up in a
pine tree. Just within a foot Of the
frightened bird buzzed q humming
bird, its misty wings and keen beak
suggesting a tiny aerial ram In flight
and bent on puncturtng some greater
craft in the air.
The sparrow stood It's ground until
the beak seemed about to pierce It's
breast, and then took flight, with the
angry little humming bird in hot pur-
suit. The humming bird soon returned,
apparently having given up the chase,
possibly because 1t had driven the
enemy far enough from the nest.

pinicult Horseback Feat.

There are no better horsemen In the
world than the cavalry officers of the
Italian army, yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat recently achieved by one Of
them.
To run an ordinary foot race Is easy
enough, but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand a spoon on which rests an egg
and to reach the goal without dropping
the egg is feat which must be prac-
ticed carefully long time before it
can be performed successfully, and as
q result there are not many who can
be sure of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great, therefore, was the
surprise when an italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this uiffi-
cult feat. Moreover, he selected a
course in which there were two or
three high fences, and these he cleared
at full gallop without losing the egg.

westward from the Alaskan mainland

succession Of harbors; that they are
safe and open throughout tts year;
that they are unobstructed by rocks,
and that the channel to some of them
