After Colonel Lott and his asso-


After Colonel Lott and his asso-
ciates finish their road to Houston,
it is understood that their plans for
construction will have by no means
been completed. The building
forces will then go to the south end
of the line and begin work in Mex
leo. The program there is yet a
mystery, SO far as the public is con-
cerned, but it is believed to en-
bracea line to Tanpico and eventu
ally the construction of additional
connection which will reach Mex
leo City. giving the shortest route
from St. Louis and Houston to that
metropolis by some 200 or 800
miles.-Houston Chronicle.

eouId,s watersd Stock.

Jay Gould was 4 resident Of Rut-
land, Vt. for a year OF two in the
early hfties. when he was engaged in
the. construction of the old Rutland
and Washington Railroad, now a part
Of the Delaware and Hudson system,
and the following snecdOte concern
ing him is told by an old citizen of
that place who was employed by Mr..
Gold at the time.
In the building Of the rOadbed it
was necessary to use a dozen or more
teams OF oxen for hauling purposes
One hot day in midsummer the oxen
were suffering greatly from the in
tense heat, and one animal had sue
cumbed, when Gould, noticing their
condition, ordered the drivers TO take
the cattle to the CastletOn River and
cool them with water to avoid further
deaths among them.
This" says the old resident, was
the first instance 1 ever heard Of when
Jay Gould watered his stock"

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy BY Dodd's
Kidney Pills

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy BY Dodd's
Kidney Pills
Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case
Of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one Of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his
father makes the following statement:
Last September, my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he
could not walk nor put his shoes on
The treatment that the doctors were
giving him seemed to do him no good
and two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two OF
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped their
medicine and at once sent for DOdd's
Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills
a day, one morning, noon and night
for eight days; at the end OF the
eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but TO give the medicine justice,
gave him eleven more Pills. I used
thirty-fve Pills in all and he was en-
tirely cured. I consider your medicine
saved my child's life. When the thir-
ty-five Pills were given him, he could
run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
from morning until night"

KITE-FLYINe IN THE EAST.

IN Oriental Countries the Sport is2a
National Psstime.
Homemade kites satisfy the AmeTi-
can boy anS afford him lots Of fun, but
it is strange that he does not invent
an artistic and national kite, such as
they have in Japan, China and Korea,
where all the flyers have a meaning
A figure Of an eagle or Of Uncle Sam
with his arms OuJstretched would be
quite imposing.
In all these oriental countries kite
flying is a national pastime and thou
sands Of people on holidays gather up
on the hills and watch the sport.
In China the sport ends on the ninth
month in a festival called ascending
on high" In Japan and Korea the
boys only fy their kites for fifteen
days out Of the entire year.
But kite-fying in these countries is
quite secondary to kite-hghting- The
fighting machines are made on rec
tangular bamboo frames covered with
paper and have a hole in the middle
They have no tails and the strings are
Of silk dipped in fish glue and pow
dered with porcelain. The moment
two kites strings are crossed, no mat
ter il one belongs to royalty itself,
the player must let out his line The
string that is drawn tight is sure to
be cut through. The instant kite is
cut down it is seized by the small
boys in the streets.

A southern planter employed a
negro to work some of his land during
the last year on shares. On account
of the high price of cotton the negrO's
half Of the proceeds amounted to ST.
600. The planter knew that it would
ruin any AfrO-American to get such a
sum Of money. and decided that half OF
il would be enough. Upon further re-
Fiction the conviction grew upon him
that $500 would ruin any negro in the
world. so he cut the sum in half agais,
and, piling four hundred shinging sill
yer dollars on his desk, sent for the
negro and brother and said that he
was ready TO settle. The man came in
and fairly gasped at the amount OF
wealth in sight.
"Fo' Gawd. boss" he said, ''is dat
money all Ours2"
Yes
We'll. den. divide it in two piles,
and you take yOuah half and III take

BOILING Point of Water.

Water bOils at different tempers-
lures. according TO the elevation Of the
sea-leveI- In London water boils prac-
ticalIy at 212 degrees Fair; in Mu-

the city at Mexico at 200 degrees; and
in the HimaIayas, at an elevation Of
$4,000 feet above the level Of the sea,
at $50 degrees. These differences are
caused by the varying pressure Of the
atmosphere at these points.
