A Physicians Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. 11.--Leland
WILLIAMSON, M. d.. one of our cleverest
physicians, has made statement, in
dorsing Dodd's Kidney Pills and say
ing that he uses them in his daily prac-
tice in preference to any other kidney
medicine. His statement has created a
profound sensation, as it is somewhat
unusual for physician to publicly in
dorse anything in the shape of a patent
medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in a
sickly and malarious country | have
come to the conclusion that it is al
ways best to use the remedy that will
relieve and cure my patients whether
ethical or not.
It have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with uniform success in the various
forms Of Kidney Disease, Pain in the
Back, Gout, Rheumatism. Inflamma-
ton and Congestion. Of the Kidneys and
all kindred diseases; l always pre-
scribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such
eases and can testify that they inva-
riably restore the Kidneys to their nor
NAL state and thereby relieve the blood
of accumulated poisons, producing
prompt and effective cures"

To Prevent Color Blindness.

Some time since we spoke of the sue
cess which may follow in educating those
supposedly blind TO see. 1t has been
found that the remnants OF function in
those supposed to be blind may often be
SO improved as to take these patients
entirely out Of the blind class and make
them enjoy useful vision. 1t is but n
coro1lary Of this that the deficiencies of
vision called color blindness are also pre-
ventable. Function, it must ever be re-
peated, depends upon education and eNer-
else, and it is a necessary part of the
great physiologic law that the percep-
ton Of colors will be lost if the eve is
not exercised III their perception. That
the defect is dependent upon non-exercise
is indicated by the fact that it is far
less common in women than in men. In
10000 men 800 are affected, while only
nine are found in the same number of
women. The proportion among savage
men is less than among civilized men.
But. Of course, the education and exer-
rise must begin in early childhood And
there is some proof that this exercise in
childhood does stimulate color perception
and prevent color Observation-Disclosures

BURNT CORK OF COMMERCE.
A Factory on the BoweTy Makes It for
Minstrels, but Finds Trade Dull.

There is small factory on the Bowery
where burnt cork used by minstrel COM
panies and black-faced artists Of the
present day is manufactured. The bust
ness was started in 1877 by Ed Mills, an
old minstrel. When he died his widow
took charge. About seven years ago she
retired, selling out to German, who
used TO be Waterman in one of the
Bowery variety theaters. The business
is still run in her name.
'"rhe decline Of minstrelsy." said the
factory proprietor to The Sun reporter,
''has injured this industry a. great deal,
but ] am still able to make fair profits.
There is. only one other firm, somewhere
out west. that manufactures the stuff,
and the competition does not do me
much harm and / am able to get along.
OF course. the business is not what it
used to be, but with the advent Of mod
ern theaters and the introduction of in
candescent lights it might be worse.
''In former years most Of the Ministries
used to burn old corks over the gas and
use them. But the introduction of cleo
tricity has done away with that. Min
strels now prefer the prepared cork. be-
cause it is handler and cheaper. The
stuff sells for 80 cents q pound and this
quantity is sufficient to last for months.
The cost of manufacture is small and If
/ had enough customers | would be able
to earn plenty Of money. New 1orl,

st. Nicholas His Bones.

Bari and Venice have always disputed
as to which Of them possesses the au-
thentic bones of st. Nicholas, but there
would seem to be 10 doubt in the mind
Of the Russian General Bagdonovitch,
who on seeing them offered the Cathe-
dral of Bari 100000 rubles (about
f105,OOO) for them, with the intention
OF taking them to Russia, where this
saint is extraordinarily popular. 1t ap-
pears that General BagdonOvitch was
visiting Bari when be saw the relics,
which are at the bottom Of species Of
well, the bones being crossed and water
springing from them continually. He be-
came very thoughtful, and then ex-
claimed: Il will give You 100000 ru-
bles for them When those present
smiled, thinking that he was Joking, he
repeated his offer several times, but. of
course, it was refused. The present
Gar, or Czarowitch, visited the same
relics, while the cathedral was the scene
Of Queen Helena's abjuration of the or
thodox creed and her conversion to Ro-
man Catholicism. 1t is thought that the
matter will not end here, and that the
general will make further efforts to Sc
cure the bones, Of course, he has no
chance Of success.-LondoD Telegraph.

they are pretty enough for anything-are
long gun metal hatpins with one large cut
crystal for head, this set OH edge in a
Slender ring of the metal, as the crystals
are set into the chains. They are very
brilliant, simple i'll effect, and cost only
so cents.
Other hatpins which, as Il couple OF
women who stopped to look at them in the
window said. would ''be very smart III a

as large round as a Decent piece, and
have the effect in coloring of the eye OF
a peacock's feather, blue and green. They
cost 81 each.

THEIR BARGAIN.

She married him for his gold;
She was delightfully."- stunning.
He had riches untold;
Each considered the bargain
\ fortunate one and fair
The rare and radiant maiden
And the tottering millionaire.
He vcntured into the market,
Where they took his money away,
Took all of his precious millions
And laughed at his dumb dismay:
She has lost her Sylphlike beauty,
Her chin has become pair,
And. all things duly considered.

Selfishness of HYMNS.

According to Prof. J. Scott Clark OF
Northwestern university, the standard
church hymns are defective. Most Of
them are retrospective. They deal with
the spiritual condition Of the self and
with the chances OF the Individual to
get to heaven. They are selfish. Few
hymns express the principles of the sec
ond great commandment--that we should
love our neighbors as ourselves. With
the exception of "Blest Be the Tie That
Binds there is scarcely a we'll known
hymn that is altruistic in sentiment.

Persian ladies do not wear boots. Their
