James b. Conolly, whose stories OF
sea adventures, have given him high
rank among the younger American
writer's, is off on a European trip in
search of new seas to conquer. His
Gloucester yarns are well known. Last
year he was living with the fisher folk
OF the North sea and the Baltic. Now
he has turned his face southwark and
will cast his lot with the sailors and
fishermen OF the Mediterranean and
other southern seas.

This Ia MIRACULOUS.

Manhattan, Kans., March l4.-One
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. Is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker OF this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
OF Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly 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:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing as IL
nothing had ever been the matter
with her The doctors said she was
beyond the reach OF medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life. when she was so far
into the chronic stage Of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could

Perhaps it is because this is to be
an economical season and many are
not entertaining as deliberately as In
previous years, or perhaps because
fashions change great deal in a
short time; but many of the dainties
served now at dinners are of simple
and homely description.
One of the most popular is the
school girl delicacy known as fudge.
Broken-up fudge and cream candy are
frequently served in place Of French
bonbons
Table decorations are very simple,
and green and silver are the favorite

Berger conceived the idea four years

Berger conceived the idea four years
ago Of making a wireless telegraph
system. He gathered all the knOwl-
edge he could OF the MarcOni system
from scientific periodicals. When ia
mtliar with the apparatus and the
fundamental principles he began his
first machines. They were crude af-
fairs, but demonstrated the soundness
of the principle on which he had built
them.
Last year, during his study of cleo
tricity in advanced physics, Berger be-
gan the construction of a second set
Of instruments, with many improve
ments upon his former system.
The construction Of a wireless tele-
graph system is not the first apparatus
made by Berger. He has invented an
automatic letter-folding machine de-
signed to facilitate the work Of the
mailing departments of large business
firms. The machine folds the letters,
puts in any advertising matter del
sired, such as a return postal card,
seals the letters and puts the stamps
on. 1t is a simple device, and a child
could operate the machine. Berger is
perfecting the letter-fOlding apparatus
and expects to put it on the market
soon.
'Tibbie" Page, a daugher of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Page, of Payson, Utah, is
the latest musical genius of Utah.
Though only 6 years of age. the child
plays the cello in dance music and ex-
ecutes difficult accomplishments to vio-
lin selections by her father.
The little girl was born June 81,
1897, and even before she could walk
was humming tunes. After hearing
her father play the violin she would
hum the melody, and when her hands
were powerful enough to lift a bow
she picked up the knack of handling
it, solely by observation. At the end
of a week, having had a few lessons
in the methods Of placing the fingers,
she could play bass parts by ear with
her father.
The child %practiced until she was
able to play waltzes, all by ear and
now she accompanies her father in diff
numbers. She has been play
ing her part in the orchestra during q
months tour Of Utah, Idaho and

dancer and sings well.

the last analysis the cause lies in tbs
mind; that is, the stammerer stammers
because he fears he will stammer and
thus make himself ridiculous.
"Stammering is due to self-con.
seriousness, and it has been my expert
ence that women seldom suffer from
self-consciousness. Social success f
more necessary to their happiness than
1t Is to mems, and if as girls they have
a tendency to shyness or timidity they
set about overcoming it at an early
age, and concentrate their attention
upon doing so until they succeed.

VERY FEW WOMEN STAMMER.
Why They Are So Seldom Afflicted
with his Disease.


How many women have you ever
known who stammered? A few of us,
if this question were put, could remem
Der one or possibly two, but the great
majority would have difficulty in re-
calling a single case.
And how many men?
Most persons at even a moments no.
tice can recall cases ranging in number
from n to five.
This divergence is due not to any
trick Of a defective memory, but to
II of the most curious Of actual facts.
The truth is that the proportion of
those afflicted with stammering or
suffering is 100 men to l woman. 1t
is one Of the most remarkable things
in the science Of pathology. Even the
specialists in nervous diseases seem
utterly at a loss to account for It.
An eminent medical authority is
quoted as saying hat in all his expert
ence he had known of only n woman
that Stammered. When asked how he
accounted for the immunity of the fair
sex from this atiiiction he replied:
"Stammering is an epileptic affec-
ton Of the organs Of speech, and the
victim is usually n person of a high

there were a lot of Yankee vessels
about there General B~eauregard asked
me one day to see what l could do in
the way of a torpedo boat. 1 took some
one-inch boards and built a cigar
shaped boat thirty feet long. At the
bow we rugged a copper kettle, holding
about seventy-five pounds Of powder.
Ihe kettle was fastened to a pole, so
that we could lift it out Of the water
when the boat was going, and then
sink it about eight feet under water
when we got to close quarters. The
pole was at an angle of 45 degrees, so
that the kettle would strike the hull Of
the enemy below the water line. The
kettle Lad some percussion caps on
the top, and the force Of the collision
would make them explode like this"
said Mr.. Cousins, and, pulling out a
pencil, he drew this sketch:
