Best in the World.

E~stherville, Ia, Feb. 1st.-Mr.
George ]. Barber of this place says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
medicine in the world. There is moth.
ing as good. / had been sick for over
15 years with Kidney Disease which
finally turned into Bright's Disease. /
was treated by Doctors in Chicago but
they didn't do me any good. The best
Doctor in Estherville treated me for
five years with no better success. l
heard Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
made up my mind to give them a trial.
II am very thankful to be able to
say that they cured me completely
and l think they are the best medicine
in the world"
The honest, earnest, s%traightfor-
ward experiences of real living men
and women are the only material used
in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills.
One such testimony is worth more
than a thousand unsupported claims.
The people who have used Dodd's
Kidney Pills are those whose evil
dence is worth consideration and
surely nothing can be more convinc-
ing than a statement like Mr.. Bar.
ber's. There are thousands of others

A BIG MARRIAGE SERVICE.

American Missionary United Thirty

The Rev. A. W. Pitzer set a pretty
good pace last week when he married
three couples at once. but he 10 still
twenty-eight laps behind the record,
which is held by an American mis-
sionary on the island Of Apemana.
This strange wedding, where thirty
one couples were united at once, was
solemnized in 1882. All the principals
were converted heathens, and so we'll
were the marriage bonds tied that ten
years later not one of the couples
was divorced.
The great wedding was one OF ne
cessity, rather than choice. All the
couples had signified their intention
to be married with Christian rites.
Plans were made for separate we'd
dings, but a missionary ship was wait
ing for the teacher who was to marry
the converts, and an approaching
storm made it necessary for him to
read the ceremony with great haste.
If the natives had not agreed to en-
gage in a wholesale ceremony they
would have been condemned in six
six months more of single blessedness,
so the great party Joined right hands
and assumed the solemn obligations
according to their new faith.-Wash-

tances from one. eighth of an inch to
twenty-five feet, or by increasing the
size of the instrument slightly even
greater distances can be measured. It
will be seen from the Illustration that
the hand traversing the outer dial
reads up to twelve inches, while that
on the inner dial runs up to twenty
five feet. One particularly conven-
lent use to which the instrument may
be put by machinists is in measuring
the surface speed Of the work in a
lathe. In this connection it is only
necessary to put the measuring wheel
in contact with the revolving surface
for a fraction of a minute, when the
length of surface covered will be
found indicated on the dial. This de-
vice Is small enough to carry in the
pocket without inconvenience, and is
much more easily operated than a
foot rule Of small tape measure, with
the added advantage that there is
nothing to fold zip when the measure
has been taken. The record can also
be indicated in metric measure, if de-
sired, and when the full twenty-five
feet have been measured it will auto
matically repeat.
The owner of this handy instrument
is Henry Kahn of New York city.

The uses to which a rule or tape
measure can be put by those in GER
tain lines of business are almost num-
berless, and 1t is the habit with ma
chinists, carpenters n others to al
ways carry a measure of this kind
with them while at work. There are
limitations to the use of both the rule
and tape measure, however, in the dis.
lance they will cover, and as it is not
always convenient to carry a big line,
a neat little pocket instrument has
been designed to fit the need. This
device is so constructed that 1t will;

drawing it over them, indicating dis.

New Electro MAGNETIC Gun.

The technical papers in Norway are

the electric current is utilized as the
propelling force to throw the she'll. It's
merits would seem to be lightness.
cheapness and the fact that the barrel
would not be liable to overheating, as
is the case when an ordinary weapon
is fired rapidly. The shell is saturat-
ed with magnetism before being
placed in the gun, which consists of a
series of coils, energized by a power
full dynamo, and whose purpose is to
exert a pulling force on the shell. AS
the latter begins to traverse the bar
rel the coils are automatically thrown
out of circuit n after another. by
means of a set of cutouts actuated by
the she'll, in order that the coils may
not exert any a%ppreciable influence on
the rear end of the shell as it passes.
By the time the shell reaches the muz-
zle of the gun it has been given a pull
by each of the coils and has attained
high velocity.

WIFE SHOULD HAVE ALLOWANCE

Lawyers Idea Of the Ideal State Of
Marriage.
A lawyer, with his cold-blooded rea-
soning powers. fully developed by his
profession, gives his opinion as to
whether a wife should have a fixed al
lowance: "A man should not marry
until he has an assured income. When
he starts out in life, let the goal for
which he is working be a certain sum
which he considers sufficient upon
which to support a wife, and when he
has attained 1t let him give his wife
an allowance in proportion to his in
come. If this were done, IL men were
more level headed before marriage,
there would be less work for the di.
vorce courts. OF course, this is not
compatible with the romantic ideas
generally associated with courtship,
but the final step, the taking Of the
marriage VOW, entails so many respon.
sibilities and duties that a man owes
it to the girl he marries to do every
thing in his power to keep her mar
ried life free from cares and worries
of a financial nature"

ever recorded was the little Bible in

1t contained as many leaves as a large
Bible, and as much reading matter on
each page. With a powerful glass it
could be read easily. The author Of
this tiniest book on record lived in
the time of Queen Elizabeth, and, in
1875, presented her majesty with the
Lords Prayer, the Greed, Ten Com
mandments, two short Latin prayers,
his W name and motto, and the date,
all written on a bit Of paper the size
