French Leave.

The origin of the phrase French leave" is traced back to a custom be gun in France and initiated in Eng land, common enough in the eight eenth century, of going away from a social gathering without taking formal leave of host and hostess.
 This is abundantly clear from two extracts written in 1775. The first is from Chesterfield's Principles of Po- Hteness:" AS the taking what is call ed a French leave was introduced that on one persons leaving the company the rest may not be disturbed, looking at your watch does what that piece of politeness was designed to prevent"
 So also Jekyll: French etiQuettes are precise to a degree. will allow that taking French leave is easy and natural; but, on the contrary, there Is more formality in entering one assem- bly, here than in taking the round of routs for a whole winter in London"
 As a disclaimer to this derivation the French, on their part, have the phrase, "se retirer a PAnglaise"-''to take Eng fish leave"-with the same significance

NEW STEP
Skagway to Be Made Sum-
 mer Resort

An effort IS to be made by some of Skagway's business men to advance the claims of this city as a summer resort. Among the first steps contemplated is to construct a trail to Denver glacier, and to secure men to act as guides to tourists, who can Oe made to under stand that within F or 14 miles of Skagway there can be seen a more beautiful glaciers than there is in the Swiss Alps. The Denver glacier is about equal in size to the largest gla- ciers in Switzerland.
 H. H. Draper is one of the enthus- lasts in this line, and he believes the plan to boom Skagway, with its perfect scenery as a summer resort, will not only be inaugurated before the begin ming of the coming tourist season, but that it will be productive of great re- suits in a business way to skagway.

WHAT THIS MAN SAYS
Only Re-Echoss tks Sentiments of
 Thousands in Our Republic

The reader Is asked to thoroughly investigate the following. This can readily be done, for the gentleman whose statement is published below will only be too pleased to answer any communication mailed to him if the writer really suffers from the annoying consequence which always attend inac- tive or weakened kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, proprietor of Oxford Hotel, 4l4 4th avenue, Seattle, says: ''I was subject to kidney trouble for Q number of years and during that time took different remedies recommended to me without much success. l came here from Laporte, Ind, some twelve years ago and have taken paper from there ever since. Ever now and again I read of people in that city who have been cured of kidney trouble by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, and 1t was through mentally discussing these cases that induced me about year ago to try the remedy. It gave me undoubted benefit at that time. Since then mo- ticed symptoms of a recurrence, the pills acted equally as well as they did when they first came to my notice"

A Costly Cure.

A Costly Cure.
 The hydrinus, or serpentine, called h Italy ranocchia, or frogskin, from It's mottled appearance, a stone of a rich, dark green color, with shades and spots resembling a serpents skin, is popular Iy believed to be a specific for rheuma- tisTn.
 Camille Leonardo, one of the earliest authorities to describe carefully the virtues of precious stones, thus quaint ly speaks of 1t: 'Tt restores such suffer CTS to health If they will stand in the sun, holding 1t in the hand for three hours, as 1t causes the discharge of all the poisonous moisture in the body" Great care, however, must be taken, he warns us, in using it, as 1t tends at the same time to abstract the natural mois- ture of the body.
 Ground to a powder and taken in wardly, it is said to cure the stone and venomous bites, and in particular 1t is a potent charm to drive away serpents of all sorts.
 Though soft enough to be easily cut or turned, serpentine admits of a high polish and Is much prized for orna- mental purposes.

Arrangements Concluded With the
Fore River Company.

Mr.. Francis Bowles. late rear admiral and
chief constructor in the United States
navy, has just succeeded In effecting an ar
rangement for the transfer of all of the
important naval construction at the yards
of the defunct Fore River Engine and Ship
building Company to itsssuccessor. which is
to be known as the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company Mr.. Bowlssl concluded this ar
rangement yesterday swith Secretary Nor
ton. -
1t was necessary to. convey ample assur-
ance of the ability Of the new concern to
complete the government works now under
way at the yards, for that comprises the
three great battiesIips Rhade Island, New
Jersey and Vermont, Whith the navy is
particularly anxious "a. have completed on
time. The necessary proof was Forthcoming
on that point, for Mr.. BeWles. who will con-
tiLue his connection withs the new scQncsrn
in the capacity of superfAtendeut. showed
that he was employing 500 men in the
yards, that material was abundant and
that financial resources were not lacking.
Upon these representations the department
decided to permit the work to be finished
in the company's yards instead OF pursuing
the course adopted in the case of some OF
the cruisers and gunboats which 1t was
recently obliged to take over unfinished and
complete in the navy yards.
