Theodore Luster, Of No. 1872 Burnett
Street, Elizabeth, printer, says;
"There was almost constant pain in
the small of my back, which at times
extended to my limbs. 1t was impossible
for me sometimes to get up and down
steps. Any over-exert.on such as walk
ing far or standing too long and STOPPING
or lifting greatly aggravated it. During
these attacks I could not get around at
all. l tried several we'll known remedies
but they did me little if any good.
When l saw Doan's Kidney Pills highly
recommended by some of our citizens
with whom | am acquainted | had my
wife get me a box. They relieved me
from the start and the pain / felt in my
back soon left me entirely"

Dirty Mirror -urposeIy.

Whenever looking glass appears
in a scene In q play above fireplace.
in sideboard, or cabinet, one is al.
most sure to hear somebody ask his
or her neighbor why the glass has
been smeared with whiting or soap
or something that dulls its surface
completely. All sorts of reason are
hazarded or suggested. Sometimes It
is stated that it is done for luck, at
others that they did not intend to
leave 1t dirty. The real explanation
is. however, a simple one. The glass
is dirtied to prevent the illusion of tho
scene being destroyed. as it certainly
would be II the audience saw in II
the reflection of themselves, or, worse
still, the reflection of the people in
the wings carrying on the business
of the stage.

Ancient WhistIina J.rs.

Among the ruined cities of Peru
nearly fifty different kinds of musical
instruments have been found. Unique
among these are many double
whistling jars or musical water bot
ties. Near the top of the frst or
front jar, which is usually surmount-
ed by a human or animal figure, is
the opening Of the whistle. When the
jars have been partly filed and are
swung backward and forward. a num-
her Of whistling sounds are produced.
AS the vessel swings forward and up
ward, the water is lowered in the
first jar and rises in the other. In
the backward motion it rushes back
into the first. forcing the air out
through the whistle.

Tho Distant HiIIs Are Always steer

The task that seems SO very great.
From which you daily shrink in dread,
VIII never dwindle while you wait
And wish the way were clear ahead.
The traveller whose feet have burned
On dusty slopes. In valleys deep.
And on the rocky heights has learned
That distant hills are always steep.
The duty that day after day
You sadly turn from. waiting still
And wishing II could fade away,
Perhaps Is like the distant hill.
The tasks we try SO hard to shun
Are often found, when forth we leap,
At last. to end them. quickly done
The distant hills are always steep.
Why wait when there Is work for you?
Why scan IL from afar and sigh?
1t may not be SO hard to do
II you but press ahead and try
We marvel, when upon the height
We let our glances backward sweep,
At all the gentle slopes in sight
The distant hills are always steep.

All ~ TsmpsrIns Copper.

During the last week some interest:
ing experiments were made by d. La
mon. who recently re-discovered the
lost art of tempering copper. These
experiments show that copper has .
strength at least five or six times
that of steel. Another curious fea-
ture about the process Is that copper
instead of bursting, as does steel,
when put to the test of an enormous
pressure. will simply draw apart. This
quality, those acquainted with the
metal say, will make It of extraord:-
nary value for use In steam boilers
and other similar machinery, since It
will minimize the danger of explo-
sions. Arrangements are also being
made to show some of the tempered
copper at the st. Louis exposition. It
is proposed to manufacture from, the
metal small boilers. guns and other ar
ticles. to show the uses to which 1t
may be put.
Negotiations are also pending for
the purchase Of a site upon which 1t
is proposed to at once erect an ex-
perimenting station. According to
plans the proposed station will be in
operation before the middle of the
summer.-Denver News.

Erroneous Impressions are in circu-

that Kentucky is entitled to the lead
from the frequency that the horses
of the Bluegrass State are eulogized.
Yet there are fifteen states that sur
pass Kentucky in the number of their
horses, while the average value in
twenty-three states rates higher than

An English writer, commenting on
the waning popularity of Byron in

Gus that throughout eastern Europe
Byron is almost the best known of our
English poets. IN country houses,

ed by one bookseller that he always
kept complete editions in stock and
found they had ready sale. At che
little town of Vezprcm, in Hungary.
Byrons works were the only English
books available. Byron's works have
been quoted to me in conversation
at sugar factories in south Russia,
where the speakers knowledge of
English was too limited for easy con-
versation, and l have found transla-
tions of some parts in out-of-the-way

TOOK FIGHT OUT or 00Ii.
Well Managed Automobile. Too Much
for Savage Animal.

DR.. John Phillips owns several
farms in Essex, England, and, as he
visits them frequently, he recently
purchased an automobile and dis
carded the carriage in which he had
travelled over his broad acres for
many years. With his new acquisi-
ton he was nightly pleased until
he happened one day to drive through
a field in which savage bull was
grazing. The moment the animal
saw the automobile it started to its
feet and in the twinkling of an eye
came helter-skelter for Mr.. Phillips.
The latter was equal to the emer.
gency.
Increasing his speed, he charged
for the infuriated animal and prompt
ly knocked it down. In a second, how
ever, the bull was again on it's feet
and, with head lowered, was prepar-
ing for second rush, but the farmer
was too quick for it, for, turning the
automobile, he charged again, and
struck the bull in the rear with such
force that it was almost knocked
senseless. This was the end of the
combat, for as soon as 1t recovered
from it's amazement the bull sneaked
away, and never since then has 1t
ventured to renew the attack, though
Mr.. Phillips frequently drives close
to it.

Worth While to Study Your Face Be-
fore You Sit.
A curious fact relative to wom-
ans personality is that the two sides
of her face are not in accord one
with the other. In other words, every
woman has two faces. and one shows
certain characteristics which the 9TH
er does not, and each contradicts the
other.
The left side is nearly always the
prettier. although it would take a very
keen eye to discern any difference,
but it is worth while to remember
this when posing for ones photo
graph.
The moral Of this is obvious. The
left side of the face showing to far
better advantage than the right, it is
every ones duty to keep the good side
turned toward an observer.
Often times the prettiest woman
takes a bad photograph, while plain
woman with regular features takes
a good one. So study yourself in a
glass before you sit for your photo.
