MOLINE MENTION

The cause of the vast waste in city
water has been discovered in the old
pump and net at the faucets of con-
sumers throughout the city This lat
ter source may be responsible for =
great waste but it is not the reason
for the great increase in pumpage fig
ures reported tn the city council. 1t
has been discovered that the old pump
was responsible for the leakage. When
last used il was undergoing a slip
page of million gallons day. This
means that il was doing the work re-
cording the pumpage figures for a mill
lion gallons of water day more than
were actually sent into the mains.

op of the Episcopal diocese of Quincy,
will remember his first visit to Christ
church of this city Friday evening,
because the mischievous choir boys
who sprinkled pepper on the
furnace and down the registers. The
effect was positive and noticeable and
the service was nearly broken up by
the sneezing and the choking of the
audience and the choir. while the bish-
op only retained his complacency with
difficulty. The first worshipers at the
evening session entered the church
and beat a hasty retreat into the open
air to meet the other in a paroXysm
of coughing and sneezing. Others
entered and at the first breath felt the
fumes clutching their threats, but
by closing their mouths they were able
to stand it till the singing began and
the responses were given. then the
couging began. The service, however,
was continued to the end.

FASHION IN MAHOGANY.

Chippendale owes his reputation to
the fact that he published book of
designs with over 200 coppef-plate en-
cravings, so that today any one who
wishes may get them and reproduce
them exactly, or with such changes
and Improvements as suit his fancy.
/ That they are capable of Improvement,
Chippendale himself was the first to
declare. Chippendale was one of the
first makers of mahogany furniture.
Before his time this precious wood
was valued only for the medicinal quail
titles it was supposed to possess. The
idea of making furniture of the wood
appears to have been the result of
chance. "A certain physician had a
great many mahogany planks, and,
wanting a candle box, he sent for a
cabinet maker and instructed him to
use the mahcg any for the required ar
ticle of furniture The man objected
that the wood was too hard for his
tools, and the doctor told him to get
/ harder tools. The man did So and
when the doctor saw the box he was
amazed at its beauty. Patients and
/ friends talked about it, and at last the
duchess of Buckingham came to see it.
She was enraptured, and persuaded
the doctor to give her wood for a sim
liar box. AS result, mahogany got
to be the fashion.

This Is Miraculous

Manhattan, Kan, March 14.-One of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that of the
three-year-old daughter of Mr.. Jonas
Bruhaker, of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her. she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
OF spinal meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Brights Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes. she was
entirely cured. Now she is we'll as any
child, running and playing as if moth
ing had ever been the matter with her.
The doctors said she was beyond the
reach of medicine. Dodds Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that
we thought nothing could save her.

BEAUTiFYiNG A STATE.

Turned Them Loose.

Turned Them Loose.
whenever / see any of these prop
agandas for identifying city," said
Senator Perkins of California, the
other night II always think of the
work done to beautify the state of
California by a citizen of Altadena.
which is hard by Pasadena. The
mans name is Andrew McNally. and
when ne came to California there
were few birds at Altadena, and
those few were hardly what we would
call beautiful. McNally made up his
mind that the land needed birds, SO
he built him an aviary and imported
many hundreds of his feathered
friends. Once year he would open
the doors of his aviary and let the
young birds fly whithersoever they
would, and in short time the whole
country was populated with feathered
creatures of every variety of hue and
song. His example was followed by
Joseph Grinnell and Mrs. Grinnell.
both of whom are ardent ornitholo-
gists, SO that now the country around
Pasadena is garden spot for birds
Of beautiful plumage. Many of the
birds that were imported came from
Japan and China So you see there
are more ways than one of beautify
ing city or a state. Philadelphia
