BeIdens BOOMING,

After many false alarms, the extensive
marble mills at Beldens have been
started up and this valuable water power
will be utilized to its full capacity during
the coming year by the Sterling Marble
Co., who have leased the property for
one year with the privilege of five
years lease. The new company is COM
posed of practical marble men of Flor
ence, Pittsford Middlebury, etc.
The mill has been thoroughly repaired
and put into first class shape for the
new company. The side track from the
main line of the Rutland railroad has
been relaid with new heavy rails so as
to permit the large heavy engines to run
in on the siding and to hold safely the
heavy laden cars with the raw material
| which will come from the quarries at
Florence, which are considered the finest
in the country. George Stone, of Md
dlebury, who was employed by the old
company, has been secured as foreman
of the work.

Mr.. T. II. Hughes, of Saxtons River, Vt,
employed by B. f. Locke & Co., says: MY
kidneys did not act properly for years, and
1t gradually grew on me. For two or three
years they troubled me very much with a
dull aching pain across my back and in
my lons If l stood on my feet for any
length of time, felt the pain across my
back more and my legs became numb.
When the pain in my back got so bad that
could stand 1t no longer, put on plasters,
and 1 used great many of them, but they
only afforded me temporary relief. L also
used medicines of all kinds, but they did
not reach the cause. 1 saw Doans Kidney
Pills advertised, and so well recommended,
that l was induced to give them trial, and
got them at Andrews drug store. They
gave me immediate relief After the treat
ment l seldom felt any symptoms of my
former troubles, but when l did took n
few of Doans Kidney Pills and 1t soon
left me. My rheumatic pains were not so
severe, and did not have that tired Ian
guild feeling. i had more energy in doing
my work and give all the credit to Doan's
Kidney Pills. They did me q great deal
of good, and feel justified in recommends
ing them to others as good and reliable
medicine"

Lockjaw, or tetanus, Is caused by
the development in the body Of the
tetanus bacillus. germ living in the
soil in many places, especially in city
streets, round barns and stables and
in pastures. This bacillus does not
grow readily when exposed to the air,
so there is usually little danger of
lockjaw following large wounds. The
danger lies in the punctured wounds.
the ragged wounds, and often also the
seemingly trivial wounds which heal
rapidly, and SO seal up the tetanus
germ away from the air; there it finds
the conditions most favorable to its
development and the manufacture OF
the nerve poison which causes the
symptoms of this terrible disease.
Such being the case. the treatment of
little wounds from pistols. torpedoes
and crackers is to make them bigger.
This requires some courage on the
part of the doctor, and the more cour-
age the smaller and apparently more
insignificant is the wound, and par
ents ought not to increase his trial by
pleading against the necessity of cut
ting. deeply into the wound, opening it
widely and washing it out thoroughly
with antiseptic solutions. 1t is only in,
this way that the danger of lockjaw
can be reduced to minimum, and
even this in exceptional cases does not,
prevent the disease.
The modern treatment for this dis
ease is the injection of tetanus anti
toxin. Even this may fail if injected
simply under the skin or into the mus
cles, and the antitoxin has occasion
ally been injected into the sheath COW
ering the spinal cord, or even beneath
the membranes of the brain, so that it
may the more directly reach the nerve
centers chiefly affected by the poison.

Enxlish Bard Wac Rieht.

Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene Of Hamlet" at Elsinore, in the
Island Of Zealand, whereas the Dam
ish prince lived and died in Jutland.
But just recently the municipal au-
thorities at Elsinore, or Helsingor,
have discovered in their archives that
an English company was acting in
their town in 1887 or 1888, and among
the names of the actors are several Of
those who were acting with Shake
speare in London In 1889.
Obviously, these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Dem
mark, and SO Shakespeare became well
acquainted with Elsinore, and, when
he wrote Hamlet" naturally placed
the scene in place which he knew
by description rather than in an island
Of which he knew nothing. The poet
was no great stickler for accuracy In
geographical matters and this visit Of
the English actors plausibly explains
the reason why the tragedy of "Ham-
let" was placed In Zealand and not In
Jutland.

Florence L. Williams, the founder of
the club, has certain definite objects
to accomplish with the sixty little pu-
pills under her charge. That she is
able not merely to bring muscle and
health in place Of weakness and even
disease through careful system of
physical culture. but also to develop a
trick team capable of performing aero
batic feats of no little difficulty, proves
the efficacy Of her methods.
For her clientele Mrs. williams de-

| they are expected to continue this ex-
ercise at home. One of these exercises
consists In the usual exhaling and In
halinQ. but the method Of accomplish
ing 1t is novel. The children are ranged
In rows, with their hands on their
hips, and each child puts a quill tooth
pick in its mouth. Then, at word or
command, they inhale deeply through
the nostrils and then exhale slowly
through the toothpick, this device
making the exhalation slow and avoid
ing all chance of strain.
The fire drill Is another important
exercise in the development of lung
power. AS the little arms and legs get
hard and the chests are developed the
more advanced pupils are taught to
take the weaker ones across their
shoulders and carry them out of the
reach of the fancied flames. But the
ideal of all the children who belong to
these classes is to develop strength and
skill enough to join the trick team, for
when the danger of disease has been
banished and the puny little figures
with narrow chests and round should
ers have been developed into erect,
sturdy bodies, then the gymnastic
feats Of the more pretentious athletes
are attempted and achieved before ad-
miring public audiences.
The development Of muscle is at

THIS CAT is A PARADOX.
Adopted Four Mice Instead of Making
Dinner of Them.

Adopted Four Mice Instead of Making
a Dinner of Them.
Busy Body, a big Maltese cat who
makes her home at the indianapolis
Union Railway shops, and is the pet
of every one from the president down
to the humble employee of the road,
after establishing a record of killing
more than 10000 rats and mice, has,
with charming feline inconsistency,
adopted four tiny MICE
The case Is one of the most remark
able on record and it is doubtful If
scientists or menageries can point to
like one.
Three weeks ago Busy Body gave
birth to four kittens and with them
seemed In an element of happiness.
But the little fellows required such
large amount of nourishment that
she began to look emaciated and a
good rat or mouse diet was suggested
for her.
Thursday afternoon workmen about
the shops discovered nest of six
mice in a sawdust pile, and, thinking
OF the faithful ''tabby," caught them
for her. They were alive and thrown
into her box and the men expected to
see an immediate slaughter.
Imagine their surprise when Busy
Body merely looked up rather sleepi-
ly, took look at the mice, carefully
licked them over and then as they
nestled beneath her, went back to
sleep. Since then she has looked after
them tenderly, as much as she has her
kittens. and the kittens and mice take
their nourishment side by side.
One of the mice died and another
lost its life through an experiment.
The men thought that If a cat would
act SO remarkably with a mouse that
dog would surely do likewise. One
Of them was carried to Fanny, a dog
who is nursing a litter Of pups. for
her inspection. The inspection was a
brief one, and before the men could
prevent her Fanny had swallowed the
mouse whole.
1t has not been decided what will
be done with the mice, should they
grow up. nor are the men about the
shops sure that Busy Body will not
regain her old appetite for rodents
and eat her adopted babies.
Busy Body belongs to Master Me-
chanic o. H. Jackson and is 6 years
old. She was taken to the Union rail-
way shops three years ago after she
had lost an eye which disfigured her
countenance. The shops were former
ly oyerrun with rats and mice, but
she has gained remarkable record
for killing them and 1t is asserted that
no less than 10000 is the number Of
her Observation-Disclosures Star.

Pork MakinG.

One Of the features of the pig. which
is not sufficiently appreciated, is its
prolificacy. While the horse, COW and
sheep. as a rule, produce but one or
two young annually, the pig may pro-
duce from sixteen to twenty-four, an
enormous percentage Of increase. To
make the most out of pork, the old
style Of keeping pigs eighteen months
or SO before slaughtering is abandoned.
and the animals are being fitted for the
block at six or eight months. The
first one hundred pounds of gain are
made the cheapest, the second one
hundred pounds cost more, and SO on
increasingly, as far as one chooses to
go. Economy would dictate. then, that
certainly when two hundred pounds
are reached the animal should be dis
posed of and fresh start made with
younger stock. The best breed is one
which natures early, provided it is Of
good size.
