QUEER CHURCH ORNAMENTS

Ing incongruOus in these curious agri-
cultural implements as seen in the parish
church of St. Mary's, at Horncastle, in
Lincolnshire, says the Christian Age.
Thirteen Of these blades are nailed
above the door in the north chapel. At
one time the blades numbered 40 or 80,
but owing to rust and decay many Of
them have been lost. Each Of the scythes
is about yard in length.
The general belief is that these blades

bellion known as The Pilgrimage Of
Grace" which had it's rise at Louth in
1886. When the people saw the ruins of
their churches and abbeys, they rose In
revolt, and arming themselves with the
instruments Of husbandry, such as
scythes, they went forth to encounter the
enemy. They were beaten and dispersed,
but in the eyes Of their countrymen they
were heroes, and the rude implements
with which they fought were deemed
worthy of an abiding place In the old

my back and abdomen could not stand on my
feet for more than few minutes. My feet
were cold or burning, and my periods came too
often. The doctors said it was change of life,

CRYING!

What for? If you ask her she will tell
you she doesn't know. She just feels
nervous that's all. A man is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con-
dition in his wife. He can't see any
earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy; and in spite of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently without any cause or reason.
But there is cause, and that cause is
some disorder or disease of the delicate
womanly organism. Unhealthy drains
have taken away the vital force. Inham-
nation is fretting the nerves of the
whole body. If women did but under
stand the intimate relation of the gen.
eral health to the local health of the
delicate womanly organs, they would
realize that the quick way to establish
the general health is to cure the local
disorders. DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription dries the drains that enfeeble
women, heals Inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. It is a
medicine that can absolutely be relied
upon to make weak women strong and
sick women we'll. It contains no alco-
hol, and is entirely free from opium,
cocaine and all other narcotics.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic form are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, free of charge. DR..
Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly
score of physicians, has in little over
thirty years treated and cured more
than half a million sick and ailing
women. All correspondence is strictly
private and sacredly confidential. Ad-

PERIL IN THE HAND=SHAKE.

Not long ago DR.. J. N Hirsch, of Chicago,
said: "The most delicate perfume upon the
hands is not sign of freedom from germs,
and the most refined are not free from dis
ease of lungs or throat and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one afflict-
ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption
The breath one inhales from the lungs Of
another may contain germs of disease" You
will not only be able to resist the germs of
consumption, but many thousands of cases
have been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis, or the
early stages of consumption were absolutely
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t maintains A persons nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain digest and
assi1nilate food. It overcomes the gastric
1rrltability and symptoms of Indigestion.
and thus the person is saved from those
symptoms of fever, night sweats, headache,
etc, wiliCh are common.
an Alternative extract like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in assmllating or taking
MP from the food such elements as are
required for the blood, will assist the liver
IN throwing off the poisons i'll the system.
Do not permit some des gning druggi3t
to insult yOur intelligence by offering you
a remedy which he claims is "just as good :"
because he made it up himself, or ten
chances to one you VIII get medicine
made UP largely of alcohol, which will
only weaken The system.

is hearty r co'lmended by every person
who has d it and it has stood the

Peculiarities of kildne Described by Rus
sian Scientists.

sian Scientists.
Russian scientists have lately been
studying the curious island of Kildine,
off the coast of Russian Lapland, and
separated from it by narrow strait.
This island, says the New York Sun,
has lake that has no visible connec-
tion with the sea, but is affected with
tidal movements. To be sure, the tides
in the lake rise and fail only few
inches, while those in the surrounding
sea rise and fall several feet. The peri
odicity of the lake tides makes it plain
that the lake has subterranean commu-
nication with the sea.
The water on the island is of three
kinds, fresh water from rains and from
brooks at the highest points; little
lower salt water like that of the sea;
at the lowest point sea water, sur
charged with free sulphuretted hydro
gen. The fresh water is inhabited by the
animal life usual in the fresh water of
that region. The salt water has sea
creatures, sponges and the like, while
the water surcharged with sulphuretted
hydrogen has neither vegetable nor
animal life. The phenomenon of this
sulphuretted hydrogen has its counter
part in the depths of the Black sea.
where the presence of the gas destroys
animal and vegetable life.

LATEST BOAST

DIR. Mary \. Latham boasted this
morning that she had turned in more
certificates of illegitimate births to
the board of health as legitimate than
any other physician in the city.
To support this statement DR.. La
than cited the fact that child was
born to the much talked of Jennie
II. Johnston in 1898, which was ille-
gitimate. but which she. DIR. Latham.
returned as a legitimate birth.
The board of health records show
that child was born to Jennie III.
Johnston. April 10, 1898, at 1924 Cor
don avenue The report declares the
child to have been legitimate and
gives the fathers name as James
Johnston, a miner born In Iowa and
80 years of age. The mothers age
was given as l9 years.
The death record shows the babe
died five days later at 1924 Gordon
avenue OF valvular heart disease.
DR.. Latham later explained that she
made the birth legitimate because her
son happened to fall In love with the

WEYM0UTHS LAX METHOD OF RUNNING THE WATER Department
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSURANCE BEING CUT OF

Another blow at the business inter-
ests of Spokane has resulted from
the corrupt collusion between Fossil
Weymouth and the water meter gang.
The fears Of the business men were
Tealized last night when it was an
'nounced that two of the big insurance
complies, the Insurance Company Of
North America, represented here by
Cooke h Clark, and the Phoenix AS
surance company of London, England,
represented by ]. E. Foster & Co.,
had withdrawn from this field and
would do no more business until such
time as the city is given better fire
protection.
Insurance men state this morning
that all the small companies will be
forced to retire from the city. This
will leave the city without insurance
and also without credit.

ers of the water meter gang sprung

OF $2S for a water meter they had
to have tool at the city hall to

crimes. namely, to get the insurance
money of his victims, while Knapp,
SO far as has come to light, went
about killing women and girls out of
pure fiendish desire.
The five cases to which Knapp con-
fessed after his arrest are as follows
Emma Littleman, killed in lumber
yard at Cincinnati, June 81, 1894;
May Eckert, murdered in room on
Walnut street. Cincinnati. August l,
1894; Jennie Knapp, thrown into ca
nal at Liberty street, Cincinnati, Au-
gust z, 1894; Ida Gebhard, strangled
at indianapolis in July, 1895, and
Hannah Knapp. murdered at Hamil-
ton. o., December 20, 1902.
The crime for which Knapp was
indicted in March. 1903, was the mur-
der of his wife, Hannah Knapp Re-
garding this murder Knapp said that
when he awoke on the morning Of
the crime he was seized with an i'm
pulse to strangle his wife. After ac-
complishing her death he got box
and nailed the corpse up. He hauled
the body two miles and threw It into
the Miami river. Some days later
the body was found in the river at
New Albany.
Knapp's trial lasted from June 2s
to July is, 1903, when a verdict of
first degree murder was returned. A

Standard Furniture company. $4,000
Total losses to date $26S, 600
Eight thousand water meters at a
cost of $2S each would cost $224,O00.
Probably so per cent of this amount
would go into the pockets of the
water meter gang. In order to secure
this sum the water meter gang,
through forcing Mayor Boyd to con-
tinue Weymouth and his creatures in
control, has brought about a loss Of
$26s,000 to the business men of the
city.
Weymouth stands for water meters
and the water meter gang stands for
Weymouth. Because Of this condi-
tion of affairs the water pressure is
kept down, pumps do not work when
needed at 4 o'clock in the morning
and the insurance companies are
withdrawing from Spokane, while
Nelson w. Durham and others of the
water meter gang are substituting
meaningless resolutions for those
asking help for Chief Meyers through
the purchase of new fire steamers.
Isn't it about time for the business
men of the city to throw off the yoke
and burden of the tall tower?
