Mother Ore of Radium.

The great source of radium is the uranium -pitchblende ore mined at Joachimsthal. Austria. It occurs main ly in mica slate. and is found in the Geep workings of the former levels of the silver mines of Joachimsthal The Imperial Museum of Natural History in Vienna has possessed specimens of uranium pitehblende ores since 1906 and experiments recently made with these specimens indicate that their radio-activity and the energy of their electric properties are the same as those of the ore now taken from the mines. In other words, they have per ceptibly lost nothing of their power since their removal from the earth about 100 years ago.

"One Hundred lenrs Ago"

Tn the "one hundred years ago" items Of the London Times, under date of February 29, 1901, is found the fol- lowing:
 The last adsiees from Washington mentioIi that it has been settled, after a solemn argument, that the ladies of Mir. Jeffersons ministers should yield precedence to the ladies of foreign ministers, and a public dinner was given for the express purpose of carry ing this impirtant regulation into prac- lice. This is a refinement known only io the republic of modern times. The seremonials which dignified and adorned those of Greece and Rome were of different character"
 And this refinement known only to Ine republics of modern times" seems ,till to exist, if periodic reports com Ing from Washington are true.-N. Y Globe

Arriving at a Verdict.

kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(Speeial)-In this section of Pennsylvania there Is grow ing belief that for such Kidney Diseases as as,,i Rheumatism de and Lame Back there is ney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs NJ L. Davison, of this place. She tells the story herself as fol- lows:-
 T have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty. years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills. have. done me more good than any medicine l have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back, and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since l took Dodd's Kidney Pills
 Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes. of Dodd's Kidney Pills the re suit would be considered wonderful ii it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at verdict that 'Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism"

NEW ROUTE ID INDIA
EIGHTEEN HOURS SAVED FROM
 LONDON TO BOMBAY.
A Through European Railway Line That Will Connect Greece with the Other Nations of the
 Continent.

In these days of rapid transit, when the journey from London to Bombay can be performed in fortnight, every hour counts for more than 1t did in the cid days, before the age of steam, and any scheme to bring India half day nearer to London would be sure to at tract attention. The new Greek railway which is now being constructed will, when finished, accomplish more than this, the precise saving in time in the journey to the east being calculated at Is hours. In addition to this, it will form the sole railway communication between Greece and the rest of Enrope. for, strange as it may seem, Greece has not yet been connected with the Euro pean railway system, the few short lines she possesses stopping short of the Turkish frontier. The new railway then will be an important factor in the commercial development of Greece. and with a direct service from Paris to Athens an immense tourist traffic will be assured, and students of art and archaeology will flock to the cradle of European civilization.
 The line is of the ordinary EuropeGs gauge and is to go from the Piraeus to Larissa, in Thessaly, via Athens, Skimatari, Thebes, Eiv,dia, Dadi, La mia and Demirly. with branches from Skimatari to Chalcis and from Lamia to Stylis. The question of the junction with the Ottoman system is at present the subject of negotiations with the Turkish government, and in all likeli- hood no great difficulty will be raised by the Porte to prevent the realization of a scheme in which all Europe is in- terested. The extension from Larissa would cross the Turkish frontier at Karalik Deryent. on the seacoast, and follow the coastline until near Gida where it would join the existing rail- way from Monastir to Salonica.
 There is indeed a line already in op- eration between Demirly and Kalabaka, near the Turkish frontier, and it Is theoretically possible to make june tions with the Turkish system in this and other directions. but the physical difficulties are so great that in practice only the above route is available. The total length of the line from the Pi- raeus to Larissa is PIT miles, and the branches to Chaleis and Stylis are re- spectively 13 and F miles long, while

His Wife Thought He Was Goner and Accordingly Disposed of
 His Clothing.

The day being warm the clergyman suggest ed that he get out of bed and spend an hour under shade tree in the garden,
 .It may do you good, he added.
 The wife. who Was present. sad her hus- band had better remain in the house until the following day and then take a little recreation. When the clergyman returned d week later he found the husband still ID bed
 Haven't you been out of bed since was here?" asked the man of the cloak
 "No. sir. he has not" replied his wife. q don't like to tell vou. sir but the doe, tor gave my husband up a week ago and we sold his clothes. That's the reason he didn't go to the garden"

Coffee Has Curious Way of Finally
 Attacking Some Organ.

Ails tLat come from coffee are cumu. lative, that is. unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are contin. ually appearing and the old ones gel worse.
 'To begin with" says a Kansan, 'l was slave to coffee just as thousands of others to-day; thought l could moi live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and 1 hac sick headaches that kept me in bee several days every month. Could hard. ly keep my food on my stomach, buI would vomit as long as l could throw anything up and when l could ;et hoi coffee to stay on my stomach l thought l was better.
 Well. two years ago this spring was that sick with rheumatism 1 could not use my right arm to do anything had heart trouble, was nervous. My nerves were all unstrung and my fin. ger nails and tips were blue as if had chill all the time, and my face and hands yellow as pumpkin My doctor said it was heart disease and Rheumatism and my neighbors said l had Brishts Disease and was going tc die
 Well, l did not know what on earth was the matter and every morning would drag myself out of bed and gc 10 breakfast, not to eat anything, but 10 force down some more coffee. Then in little while would be so nervous. my heart would beat like everything,
 Finally one morning 1 told my hus- band l believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought ! would try Postum, which had seen ad. vertised. He said All right, so we pot Postum, and although did not like t at first l got right down to business and made it according to directions then it was fine and the whole family got to using it. and l tell you it has worked wonders for me. Thanks t., Postum in place of the poison, coffee now enjoy good health. have pot ,een in bed with sick headache for 1wo years, although I had it for 3C fears before 1 began Postum and my xerves are now strong and I have nc tzcuble from my heart or from tho yaeumatism.
 I consider Postum a necessary ar. Eele of food on my table. My friends EIo come here and taste my Postum say it is delicious" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
