Convincing Evidence.

Winthrop, Cal, Nov. e0.-tSpeciaN
A plain and straightforward story
is always the most convincing. And
that is what has impressed us most in
reading the testimonials in regard to
Dodd'S Kidney Pills, The experience
told by Davis Lewis OF this place bears
the ring and stamp of truth upon 1t.
He says:
Il was troubled for six months with
dull, heavy pains in the small of my
back; sometimes it passed into my
stomach, at other times up between
my shoulders. When it was in my
stomach l was doubled up. and hardly
knew what to do for the pain. l was
advised to take all kinds of remedies,
and did so. but without getting any re-
lief. Then some one told me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills, l got a box and
began taking them. The first few
doses gave me relief; by the time I
,had finished them all the pain was
gone and l have been we'll ever since"

Formation of Gold Nuggets.

Mines and Minerals: Thnt gold is
formed from solution is generally rec
ognized. The miner receives the the
DRY because it explains the making Of
gold to him, but he often wonders how
it is done, SO here is what has been
seen: Daintree once prepared q solu-
ton of gold and left in it a small piece
of metallic gold. Accidentally a small
piece of wood fell into the solution; the
solution decomposed, the gold assumed
a metallic state n collected and held
to the small piece of undissolved gold,
which increased in size. Another in
vestigator heard of this and made a
dilute gold solution, in which he i'm
mersed a piece of iron pyrites and left
it there a month. He added also or
ganic matter, and at the months end
the pyrites We're covered with a film
of metallic gold. Pyrites n galena
were next tried. and each was covered
with gold. Gold, copper pyrites, arse
meal pyrites, galena, wolfram were al
so tried, with similar results. Metallic
precipitates were tried, and while they
threw down the gold as a metallic pow
der they did not cause it to cohere
nor to plate any of the substances
tried. Organic matter thus seemed the
necessary chemical agent. Through
the wood used in these experiments
gold was disseminated in fine particles.
Imagine these experiments conducted
by nature through ages and the result
could be a nugget.

Our Greatest Arsenal.

AAAS ONA ~ ~
During the civil war Rock Island was
called into unexpected service. AT the
very outbreak Of hostilities the island ug-
gested itself as a suitable place TO care for
the prisoners of war. and extensive bar
racks were constructed, with a hospital,
officers quarters and other necessary
buildings. Over 10000 confederate prison
ers were ontine there.
Horace was indeed wise when he cOun-
selcd to prepare for war in times of peace.
but that advice was disregarded, and
whcr., in 1898, war was declared with
Spain, 1t foUnd US unprepared, but the
Rock Island arsenal promptly responded
to the call. The force of workrnen was in
creased from 500 to nearly 5000, and the
necessary articles were poured out in like
proportion. Even then it was ia days be-
fore the soldiers could be made ready for
action.
Had Spain been in a position to take adj
vantage Of the delay, our victory might
have been less decisive.
1t is not the object of the arsenal to
encourage war, but to prepare for it when
it becomes inevitable; in the words of
Washington: ITO be prepared for war is.
the most effectual means of preserving
peace"

When Ellison Capers, bishop of South
Carolina, was rector Of Christ church, in
GreenVille, he would often go to other
cities to preach, for his powerful eloquence

Bishop Capers in those lays had an in
cisive way with him. One Sunday he
preached In a parish where he chose for
his subject, Economy
"At the end Of the service, a couple Of

Thanks said the bishop. Tt seems to

q Queen's Cradle.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
The recent sale of relics of Mary
Queen of Scots reminds one of many
other memorials of the beautiful and
Inflated queen which have survived
to our time and which are most jeal-
ously treasured. 1t is not long since a
harp which had once been hers excited
keen competition in Edinburgh and
was purchased by the Antiquarian
museum authorities for S4.250. OF this
harp Miss Strickland tells IN interest
ing story. When III a hunting excur-
sion in the highlands of Pe%rthshire in
1903, Mary, then q radiant girl of q,
offered her harp as a prize to thu mu-
stefan who could play most skillfully
and swcetly on it, and when the verdict
was given in favor of Miss Beatrix
Carolyn of Banchory the young queen
presented the prize to her with the
pretty compliment: You alone are
worthy to possess the harp you touch
so Well"
The very cradle in which James Wis
lovely and luckless'' child was rocked
as an infant is still in existence, For
nearly a century this cradle of carved
oak was completely lost to sight, and
it was naturally assumed that it had
been destroyed.
About the year 1920, however. a col
iector of antique furniture CHANGED to
see a woman rocking her child In Il
very ancient and dilapldated cradle In
a cottage near the ancient palace.
What are We doing" he exclaimed
to the oma 'jumbling your bairn's
brains in a thing like that?"
"Eh. moni" the mother answered
proudly, do you ken that was once
the queens own cradle?"
"Ye1i be askin' a lot for it?" con-
tinued the collector.
Indeed, I wouldna talk a poun' not
for it," was the decisive answer: and
before long the priceless relic had
changed hands, at a price. however,
considerably in excess Of the pound de-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There il
only one way to cure deafness. and that Is
by constitutions remedies. Deafness is
caused by an in1amed condition Of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca

Being without specific orders what to

and one of them mounted guard whilst

than a cold TOW and a loaf, with a
candle-end to see to eat them by,
