MysrerIous Accident.

From Minas Prietas comes a good
story that equals the darkey's pork
barrel. through the bottom of which
rats gnawed hole and carried OF all

A small boy was sent to carry lunch
to his older brother. working in one
of the mills. which included bucket
of soup. with some meat balls in the
liquid. The balls were tempting in ap-
pearance, and their aroma savory, Civ
ing the kid temptation to which he
yielded. and he ate one-"just one"
as the small boy will sometimes do.
Then in a little time he ate another;
and again another; until when the
lunch reached the brother. the meat
balls were not. and the buckets held
nothing but soup.
Where are the meat balls?" asked
the brother.
oh, | dropped the bucket" was
the reply. and everything spilled out.
/ gathered up the soup; but the meat
balls rolled down the hill."-Nogales

Traveller Praises Berlin.

An Englishman writes of Berlin:
'It is the only modern city l know of
that has managed to escape looking
artificial. The labor of building Great
er Berlin has been dexterously hidden
There is very little of the deadly uni
formity. the Euclidian lines. the pro-
sale precision one notices in New
York. Berlin is something consider
ably better than a mere chessboard of
brick and stone and mortar. The
streets have curved and enticing
spaciousness; they are shaded with
avenues of trees. faultlessly asphalted
and clean with cleanliness surpsss-
ing that of Paris. The architecture
is rather too florid for English tastes
but for all that decidedly effective"

witty Answer Won Promotion.

In the eighteenth century the Rev.
Mr.. Mountain, who was the son of a
beggar. became a church dignitary in
England. He owed nearly every step
of his successive promotions in great
part to his righteousness. and won the
last step of all by single jest. When
he was consulted as the bishop of
Durham by George II as to the fittest
person to fill the vacant archiepisco-
pal see of York, he replied: "Sir. had
thou faith as a grain of mustard

Theories About Electricity.

Concerning the fundamental nature
of electricity itself, there is still no
certainty but there are several hypo-
sheses. says Electrical World. There
Do several theories for explaining
both electricity and magnetism in
terms of the ether. None of these
theories seems capable of being sub
mitted to experimental demonstration.
1t is certain, however. that since the
interconnection of electricity and mag
netism is known, a demonstration of
the nature of the one must, by corol-
larry, include disclosure of the ma
ture of the other. Moreover. 1t would
not seem likely that the complete IN
raveling of the nature of electricity
would necessarily include revelation
of the nature of both matter and grav-
itation.

DEVOTION OF JAPANESE WIFE.

AS an example of the humble atti-

Fraser relates this incident: "A mid
die aged man on the upper floor was
suffering terribly from heat and his
little wife seemed greatly distressed
about him. All the screens had been
opened, but it was a breathless day
and no breeze came to ring the little
glass bells on the hanging fern wreath
on the veranda. The man had laid
aside almost all his garments and sat
with his head in his hands groaning.
while madame, kneeling on the mats
behind him, famed his back and from
time to time rubbed him down with a

The first English walnut orchard in
California was planted with seed from
the Los Angeles Mission gardens,
where the padres had started few
trees with nuts brought with them
from Spain. The undertaking was a
success from the first, and the acre
age of walnuts has steadily increased

MANY OPERAS BY HERoLD.

Many people suppose that the only
opera written by Herold was Tampa"
the beautiful overture of which is so
popular. By the way, one strain in
that opera is manifestly stolen direct
from Handels "Messiah"-"Oh, thou
that bringest good tidings to Zion.'
Prof. Willhartitz of Los Angeles, who
is an authority on music, having writ
ten big dictionary of music that has
not yet been published, gives the
names of not less than twenty-five op
eras and six ballets written by Herold
between 1919 and 1889. OF these. nine

A Sure Protection,

cases are being published of how dis
eases have been cured and lives saved
by Dodd's Kidney Pills. but there is
a family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the

lent results.
Mr.. w. A. Moffet says I'VE have
no very serious illness or complaint
for we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom of sickness and they soon
put us right. If we have a touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are
not right, we take a few Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms are soon
all gone.
MY brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. l got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him. and although that was
several years ago, he has lived
through all the winters and springs
since and is still living. Dodd's Kid
