For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21st.-
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In q month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow, even the whites of her
eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encoura ge-
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodds
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes. and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy, happy
future for them

UTILIZING THE CRANES.
South Americans Make Use of the Long
Legged Birds.

Legged Birds.
The natives of Venezuela and adjoin
ing countries on the north side Of the
River Amazon often avail themselves of
the services of the native crane to care
for their poultry, and also use it in the
place of a collie or shepherd cog 10 guard
and herd their domestic animals. This
remarkable bird, which the Indians call
yakamik and the ornithologists Psophia
crepitans, is found in a wild state i'll
the great forests of South America and
the Amazon and British Guiana. The
birds never leave the forests unless shot
or captured.
They travel about in fockS of from 100
to 200 in search of the berries, fruits and
insects upon which they subsist. Their
usual gait is slow and stately march,
but they can enliven themselves from
time to time by leaping in the air, exc
cutting eccentric and fancy waltZes and
striking the most absurd and prepoSterOus
attitudes. If pursued they endeavor to
save themselves by running, for their
flight is SO weak, according to SchOm-
burg. that when they attempt to fly over
IL body of water of any considerable
width they are often compelled TO drop
upon it and save themselves by swim
ming.
When alarmed they utter the peculiar
cry which has obtained for them the
name of trumpeters. The sound is some
thing like that produced by person en-
deavoring to shout the sylables tow.

TEETH MADE OF A GOLD COIN.
Remarkable Work of q Native Filipino

Harry Lnkey, one of the chorus men

well-known New York dentist by Il set of
five false teeth made of hammered gold

How Roses Glow On Wire.

The star does all the fine work of the
place, and always has more to do than
she can accomplish, because there are
none of the other forty workers compe-
tent to lend Il hand. She makes her
SO to $50 per week on piecework all the
year around, and hasn't taken so much as
lady's vacation for two years. The
other girls make SO week, and that for
only six or eight months of the year.
We don't make many of the finest
kind here in the country, though said
the star rose maker. 'They usually have
to import them. They haven't enough
skilled workers here to supply big orders
and it doesn't pay the manufacturers to
do special orders. This sort, picking up
a small June rose, this sort a fairly
good worker can make gross of in one
day and two hours of the next. l have
made other kinds, though, where five were
considered a fine days work. They had
175 pieces. though, with IS different
shapes and sizes of petals in each rose,
and every one of the 115 had to be put

SWAMP TRIBE.
Can Hardly Walk and Members Spend
Lives in the Water.

A tribe that can hardly walk has been
discovered in New Guinea. SO unused
are these people to- walking on the solid
ground that their feet bleed when they
Ky TO go any distance. They were dis
covered by Sir Francis p Winter recent
~ The tribe is that of the Ahgaiambos,
and since time immemorial they have
lived in swanps. their houses being
perched on bamboo poles and elevated
about twelve feet above the mud and
water.
AS result. since there is no solid
ground anywhere near them. generation
after generation of these people have de-
pended entirely on canoeing and swim
ming They are such good swimmers
that they can glide over and between the
half submerged reeds like water snakes
and it is as natural for an Ahgaiambo to
slip into the water TO 90 next door as it is
for a woman III this country to throw Il
shawl over her head and call Oh Il neigh
Dor.
They never leave the Swamps but re-
main hidden in them from the time they
are born until they die They are as shy
as the crocodiles and reptiles that dwell
there This life has changed their bodies
50 that they look unlike any other human
beings in the world As they never walk,
their legs have become small and fiabby
and their feet are so soft that blood
flows from the cracking skin as soon as
they are called on 10 tread on hard
ground
Sir Francis Winter describes these be-
ings as follows in Il report to the Aus
trahan government:
The men would be of good stature if

in proportion TO the upper part. They
have good chests. thick nechs and power

We're shrunken creatures, looking more
like apes when viewed from the side than

and broad and wonderfully thin, with
weak toes. They are so feeble that they
look almost as if they lacked joints. The

BIGGEST w1NDowLEss BUILDING.
Beleium's Worlds Fair Pavilion Is Light
ed Only from the Top.

The Belgian national pavilion at the
coming worlds fair in st. Louis is, per-
haps, the largest building in the world
without a window. The absence Of win
dows was deliberately planned by Gus
tave Chartrain, the architect, to secure
an even distribution of softened sunlight.
Windows let in binding blaze Of
light, and the intervals between them are
dark" says Mr.. Chartrain. I'VE have
avoided this by emitting the windows and
constructing the central section of the
arched roof, extending the entire length
of the building, Of stained cathedral
glass, which will let in abundant light"
The pavilion is 267 feet long and 191
feet wide. 1t is SO feet high in the CEN
ter of the great arched roof and the great
dome in the center is 100 feet high. The
glass section in the top of the roof is 20
feet wide 1t is yellowish brown, and
the soft light cast through the interior in
creases the beauty of the furnishings and
decorations.
Great arched entrances on all sides
make up for the absence of windows III

advised that hog grazing be encouraged
The reason for the difference is this:
The former forest is chiefly mast-bearing
hardwood. The latter is mainly pine
and what hardwood there is in mixture
serves as hindrance to young pine
growth. Therefore in this forest the
presence of hogs which eat the mast and
check the hardwood is a benefit; while in
the other, where hardwood is the staple,
the animals are q misunderstanding.
