This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kansas, March a.
One of the strangest cases that has
ever been heard OF in Riley county is
that of the three year old daughter of
Mr.. Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Sometime ago the little girl took
whooping cough. which was followed
by pneumonia When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with ma
laria fever with at times symptoms of
Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the
fever Bright's Disease set in, and the
doctors gave her up. Her father tells
the rest of the story:
"We began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken about
three and half boxes, she was entire
ly cured. Now she is well as any child,
rum ing and playing as if nothing had
ever Teen the matter. The doctors
said she was beyond the reach of medi-
cine. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly
saved our little girls life, when she
was so far into the chronic stage of
Bright's Disease that we thought moth
ing could save her."

Old Marriage Certif,oates.

Theorists are to be found all over
the world who advocate that no man
or woman shall be allowed to marry
who has not a certificate Of freedom
from transmissible disease. Not
even the most extreme, however, would
go so far as a Prussian official in the
town of Rappin, one of whose duties
Is to inspect butchers meat and another
to place the official seal on marriage
certificates. The Berlin Lokalanzeiger
states that on one occasion he used the
wrong stamp and instead of sealing
the nuptial contract he certified that
the happy pair were free from trichino-
sis. The absurd mistake was not dis
covered until some days had elapsed,
with the result that the high court
of Berlin has had to be set in motion
to rectify the error.

The Care of UmbrelIaa.

More umbrellas are spoiled through
careless treatment than wear out from
actual hard work. One great mistake
that many people make is to leave an
umbrella standing on its point to dry
after it has been used in the rain. This
is most harmful, as all the water
trickles down and settles in the folds
at the narrow end Of the silk, and this
not only causes the silk to rot, but the
wire frame to grow rusty. The right
way to treat wet umbrella when
brought into the house is to open It
wide and wipe it as dry as possible
then half close it and leave it standin2
on its handle to drain. Wet umbrella
should never be put near a fire; thi
also is likely to cause the silk to split

Pugilist's Unexpected Demonstration
of Hia Hitting Power


Bob Fitzslmmons gave an unexpect.
ed demonstration of his physical might
the other day In u downtown sporting
goods house, The big fighter drops into
this establishment frequently and edi-
fles the clerks and whatever customers
may be about by his skin at drumming
the punching bag. He rarely fails to
perform his old trick of knocking the
bag lose from Its bearings, and on this
occasion, after hard blow had torn
the bag loose from the string that held
1t, one OF the officers OF the concern
who was loking on and who knows
Fltz well, remarked to the pugilist:
"oh, l don't think much OF that
stunt Fitz; that piece of rope was an
old one and 1t wouldn't take much of
a blow TO break 1t. 1t took You some
time to set that bag loose, and my
opinion is you are getting to be a back
number. II you couldn't land on Cor
bett any harder than that he'd trim
you In jig time"
Fitz didn't say anything in regard
to the guying, but the mention of Cor
belts name made his face take on a
more determined expression.
"Then," said the business man In
telling Of the incident, II got brand
new piece OF stout sash cord, nearly
thick enough to lift horse and rugged
up the punching bag with this cord.
Now said to Fitx. there is some
thing you could not knock loose In
hundred years Fitz damned away at
the bag viciously for while, but didn't
knock 1t loose. l stood there guying
him some more. telling him how he'd
gone back and all that, and then l
walked away about twenty feet.
Il turned around TO see how Fitz
was getting along, and as l did so
saw his arm shoot through the air so
fast 1t was only blur In the air, and
the next thing knew the bag was
shooting through space like a bullet.
1T was coming straight for me, too,
and at such speed that didn't have
time to dodge 1t. 1t cleared an inter
vening show case, and the next instant
l was wondering whether was In the
ring or In the hospital The flying ball
caught me squarely over the eye, and
surely thought l would have to take
the count. The blow dszed me for
moment and nearly put me out.
Il guess l was the one that was be-
ing guyed all the time. but in any
event between the kick of a mule and
a man who can drive punching bag
twenty feet through the air and hard
enough to almost knock you down, the
mule for mine. l don't think Fitz Is
quite candidate yet for the home for

The Trackless Trolley.

1t seems certain that the near fu-

tenn Of today superseded by the
trackless or auto trolley, which has
already been successfully tried in
Germany. A system of trackless
trolleys is in active use in the Biela
valley, near Dresden, carrying both
passengers and freight. The troll
ley is so contrived as to allow a
train consisting of motor cars and
trailers to turn aside in passing We
hicles on the road, an excellent plan
for obviating the vexatous delays
80 frequent in ordinary trolley trav-
ell. The trainis stccrcd by the front
wheels on the first car and is equip
ped with sliding contact. A speed
of twelve kilometcrs an hour is said
to have been maintained over good
roads. 1t is claimed that the road
can be equipped and operated at
considerably less expense than is
necessary in the case of the system
now in common use. - Harper's

Liquid hydrogen is by far the
coolest liquid known at the present
time. At ordinary atmospheric
pressure it boils at -422 degrees f.,
and reduction of the pressure by
an air pump brings the temperature
down to -432 degrees, at which the
liquid becomes a solid, resembling
frozen foam. According to Profess
or Dewar, to whom the credit is
due Of having liquefed hydrogen in
1898, the liquid is Golorless, trans
parent body and is the lightest liq-
uid known to exist, its density being
only one-fourteenth that of water,
The lightest liquid previously known
was liquid marsh gas, which is six
times heavier. The only solid which
has SO small density as to float upon
its surface is piece of pith wood
