Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind, Oct. "a Especially
After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Laudeman
of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
"Yes, l suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then | took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health in general. OF
course l recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others and l know number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Brights Disease that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
Bright's disease.

Paid Dear for Her Popularity.

A Tokyo paper prints the story OF
12-year-old japanese girl whose de-
sire for popularity among her play
mates got her into difficulty. The
uncle of the child was a candy mer-
chant who from time to time missed
cash from his drawer until nearly $50
was gone. A patent catch on the till
stopped the losses. A few weeks
later however, he was astonished to
find his little neice in the custody OF
the police on the charge of burglary.
The child had got into the habit of
giving small coins from her allow
ance to her playmates for the sake of
popularity. She increased these
amounts gradually and then took to
robbing her uncle This source OF
revenue being shut off by the catch
on the money drawer she took TO
burglary.

Selecting a Physician.

More than 1000 years ago Rhaze,s
an Arabian physician, gave this ad-
vice to ,bis patients with reference to
the selection of a physician: Study
carefully the antecedents Of the man
to whose care you propose to confide
all you have most dear in worid-that
is, your life, and the lives of your wife
and children. II the man is dissipat-
ed, is given to frivolous pleasures, cul-
tivates with too much zeal the arts
foreign to his profession, still more so
IL he be addicted to wine and debauch-
cry, refrain from committing into
such hands lives so precious"

QUEER THINGS TO EAT.
What Was Served at the Table Of
London Epicure.

LoHyon 6plCuTc.
Here is a typical insect menu, of
which no one need be afraid to par
take, since every item has been known
and esteemed by insect eaters for
generations past. 1t was served, not
long ago, according to Pearson's
Weekly, at the table of a rich London
epicure, who is also an enthusiastic
advocate of an insectarian dietary:
Green caterpillar soup, fried locust
with woodlouse sauce. curried cock
chafers, wasp grubs baked in the
comb stag beetle larva on toast
moths baked in batter, deviled wire
worms, grasshoppers 'au gratin."
The green caterpillars that COM
pose the soup feed entirely upon veg
etables, and mostly upon particular
vegetables most relished by man, such
as cabbages and lettuce.
In appearance the soup itself is not
unlike clear turtle, while its flavor is
delicious.
The locusts, which constitute the
second course, have, as every one is
aware, been esteemed by gourmets
the world over, and from the remot-
est antiquity. Eat we the locust after
his kind" was the biblical injunc-
ton; and John the Baptist is record
ed as having lived for some consid.
cradle time upon "locusts and wild
honey"
There are, of course, many ways
OF preparing them. They can be
fried after their legs and wings have
been plucked off, which was, as a
matter of fact, the process adopted in
THIS particular instance. Or they may
be powdered and baked into cakes, or
curried, or boiled, turning red, like
Holsters, in the process.
The woodlouse sauce, if properly
made with fresh butter, flour, milk,
pepper and salt, will be found fully
equal to shrimp, which it much re.
sembles in taste. Indeed, the wood.
louise, although he lives on land, lie
first-cousin to that much relished
crustacean.
Cockchafers, curried or otherwise,
are delicious if selected of a service
able size and plumpness. So, too, are
their grubs, when full grown. They
should then be at least two inches in
length and fat in proportion, and may
be eaten uncooked, like oysters, or
stewed in milk.
Perhaps, however, the most tooth
some of all insect delicacies is that
which comes forth on our menu of
the day"-wasp grubs baked in the
comb. These grubs have been fed by
their parents on a saccharine fluid com.
posed of fruit and vegetable juices
and are simply tiny balls of table fat,
possessing flavor as exquisite as it
is unique No one who has once tast.
ed them will ever again be surprised
at the preference shown by fish for
this particular grub when used as a
bait.
The stag beetle larva is, of course,
Identical with the cossus, which the
old Roman epicures used to fatten for
their tables upon -four and wine. The
sixth course should be served steam.
ing hot, since there is no more appe.
tizing odor than that emanating from
a plump baked moth.
Deviled wireworms are eaten in the
form of paste, spread upon sippets
of toasts, and taste not unlike ancho-
vies when treated in similar fashion

Give Warning on Match Boxes.

1t is interesting to learn just now,
when there is so much being done TO
prevent the spread of tuberculosis by
expectoration, that the Argentine
Health Department has been working
on different lines to accomplish the
same end. Simple instructions ex-
planning how to prevent the spread Of
tuberculosis have been printed on the
labels of more than eight million
match boxes sent out as an expert

Ostentation is merely a way our
neighbors have of showing off.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries 10 sell you a
12-oZ. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures &c ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance Of the iron

RUSSlA'S nEARTBEATS.

One of the most evident results of the

prove among the most momentous in
historical bearing, is the political stir

sorship would appear to be paralyzed
for the moment. as if the Cars gov
eminent We're overawed with the heavy
throbbings of the nations heart. A
st. Petersburg dispatch of August 1
says:
1.-The suggestion of NJ. Souvorin, edi-
tor of the Novoe Vremya, regarding the
establishment of a responsible cabinet
is creating much popular comment.
Great significance attaches to the free
dom with which the newspapers are
discussing the matter. The cry has
been taken up by the reactionary Prince
Mestchersky, editor of the Grazhanin.
who argues that a cabinet has become
necessary.
IN. Souvenir this morning returns to
the charge in a signed article pointing
out the evils of the present system and
saying that the rivalry between the
ministers is causing chaos in the public
service, each pulling its own way, Sc
cure from criticism under the cloak of
personal responsibility.
Continuing, NJ. Souvorin says: Pc
ter the Great opened the window to-
ward Europe, now we need to open the
door and let what is best of western
progress enter NJ. Souvorin also re-
calls the words of Alexander II: Re
forms must come from above
THE introduction of ministerial re-
sponsibility necessarily will involve the
greatest Importance being vested in the
office of ministerial councillor, now an
empty honor to which NJ White was
relegated. He would then become the
most influential man under the Emper-
Or. The creation Of a responsible minis
try would also necessarily involve more
freedom of the press and more criti-
cism."

PHOTOGRAPH

Rice & Perkins may obtain picture
OF Waikiki Beach with plenty of life
in it.
While the photograph taken two
weeks ago was a success in that it
showed the beautiful Photographic
possibilities of the beach and vicinity,
yet there We're not enough people in
view in proportion to the long sweep
of the beach from the Annex to Dia-
mond Head to make it really typical
of a festive seashore scene in Homo

With the band playing on the beach
there should be a large crowd of people
present at the various resorts men
toned and if the day is fine it is hoped
also that as many persons as possible
will avail themselves of the opportun-
ity to go in bathing. It is such a pic
ture that the Promotion Committee is
DESTROYS of taking, for the demand in
eastern cities for advertising matter on
Hawaii is for seaside picture show
ing plenty of life.
The Promotion Committee has also
appealed to yachtsmen and owners of
canoes to make an aquatic demonstra-

BEFORE PORT ARTHUR.

If the japanese have, as reported,
taken positions located less than a
mile and three-ffths from the main de-
fences of Port Arthur, they have gain
ed a strong vantage ground for siege
guns These main defences are imme-
diateIy around the port on high hills.
Takushan, the principal fortress, being
. three and a half miles from the inner
harbor and some of the others as much
as eight miles If we place the Jap
anese positions ten miles from the port,
which would seem to be about right the
city could be made untenable by Oya-
mas heavy artillery providing the be-
siegers were not themselves dislodged
by sorties or by the return fire of the
Russian forts. Modern siege artillery
has a great range, a gun recently test
ed at Sandy Hook sending a shell
twenty one miles. Mortars do not car
ry so far but they could be used with
tremendous effect on the forts nearest
to the japanese lines and perhaps upon
those close to the city.
Having been the masters of Port Ar
thur for about eight months the Jap
anese know precisely where to plant
their missiles. The direction and dis |
lance to the docks and anchorage from
where the besiegers are now, was
marked down years ago with a view to
the emergency which has now come. |
There is no need of random firing. Fur
thermore the effect of shots may be OBJ
served from war balloons and reported |
down the telephone. All this accounts
for the belief of the Japanese that they
can drive the Russian fleet QUITO port
and compel it to do battle with Togo.
Tt may be fairly assumed that the
japanese will give Port Arthur heavy
bornbardment and then will assault the
forts with an enormous force, line fol-
lowing line as was the case at Nanshan
Efill. The japanese are given to grand |
assaults, having captured Port Arthur
that way ten years ago. That they do
not spare themselves at such times is
shown by the story of Nanshan Hill,
a place as strongly fortified as the
majority of the elevations on the inner |
lines of the Russian defensive system.
