Sanitation sometimes stands on its
head and becomes insanity. This is a
phase of midsummer madness. one
may suspect, when a leading medical
journal warns us against the danger
of contracting disease from imper-
fectly polished doorknobs. So many
germs in the householder's hands, so
much for his knob How many door
knobs are there in this happy island?
Give each citizen two doorknobs-a
very meager estimate, for he PROBABLY
touches a dozen day-and they will
run into millions. Is there a record
anywhere Of a disease caught from
one Of those thousands of millions of
door knob turns in any single year?
To this writer the question is of
some interest; for, if door knobs are
unsanitary, there are other things that
should be fatal. Within the last week
his bare hand has been in contact
with omnibus rails, cab aprons, steam
boat seats, balustrades in populous
city fats, postotfice counters, railway
carriage handles-you may complete
the list Of the contacts of busy life
with life This has been going on for
some years now, with no hint of dis
aster. Have you ever met anybody
suffering from doorknob poisoning?-

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 18th (Special)
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing Of her cure, Mrs Hart says:
"Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me

not been down since In four weeks
from the time l started taking them

The eTowers of Silence

Sir George Birdwood says this fine
phrase, which gives their only halo
Of spiritual suggestion and serenity to

Parsee bodies are cremated, was
coined by Mr. Robert Xavier Murphy.
He had originally come out to Bonn
bay as a master, under the auspices
Of the Native Education society; but
became temporarily editor of the Bonn
bay Gazette. Towers of Silence"
was first used by him. Touching the
hearts Of his readers, it at once

Derivation Of aLondon. .

What is the derivation of the word
"London?" The usually accepted one
is the Celtic "Llyn-Din," or lake city,
referring to the historical fact that
the city was built on river mat ever
flowed at full tide and half surround
ed it. Other philologists have derived
It from "llawn" (fulD and "dyn"
(man). Others again from lion" "a
plain) and dun" Ga hilD. But the
derivation Lun-Den or grove city"
seems more probable than most Of
these. The name occurs in wooded
parts Of Scandinavia to this day.

REAL STONES WITHIN FALSE.
Customs Commissioner Tells Of ono
shrewd Smuggling Trick.

Shrewd Smuggling Trick.
One Of the best stories of diamond
smuggling is told by Commissioner
Foote.
"Never have heard better story
than this, which came to me on the
authority of a yeracious young won,
an" said the commissioner 1T is
that certdl large importers of pre-
cious stones in this country have in
their pay certain manufacturers Of
imitation jewels in Europe; that
they get the manufacturers to put
diamond or other gem of great value
in each of the paste diamonds intend
ed for export to this country and then
that the fabuIously valuable stones
come in duty free, as no one but the
importer has any right or authority to
break up the fake gems Of paste in
the quest for the real gems upon
which great sums could be collected
in custom house duties. OF course
the climax Of this fine story is that
the importers simply take their ham
mers when the consignments arrive,
and by breaking up the paste gems
get at the real ones, which roll out
from their prisons in the paste and
are sold by the importers at a profit
that soon makes them immensely
rich"

Tanning the sonasters.

In the bird department of the New
York Geological park especial atten.
tion is paid to tanning the birds, this
having been proved to be an impor-
tant factor in keeping them in good
health. If a bird has no fear of its
keeper the danger of broken wings
and legs caught in wires is all but
eliminated, and if such bird should
require medical treatment, it can be
caught and handled without fear Of
adding to its hurt or illness.

Aston, Mich, March 13th.-(Spe-
cial.) --After suffering for twenty
years from Rheumatism and Kidney
Troubles, and spending a fortune in
doctors and medicines that brought
him no relief, Mr.. James Culet of this
place has found complete cure for
all his aches, pains and weakness, in
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Naturally Mr.. Culet feels much elat-
ed over his cure and gives great
credit to the remedy that gave him
health.
Eyes," Mr.. Culet says, my rheuma-
tism and Kidney Troubles are all
gone and 1 feel like a new man.
Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Before l
used them l spent a small fortune
on doctors and one remedy and anoth-
er l cheerfully recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to anyone suffering from
Rheumatism or Kidney Trouble"
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
sick kidneys. Healthy kidneys take
all the uric acid-the cause of Rheu-
matism-out of the blood. That's why
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
Rheumatism.

I'm Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are

regulations that give them the right

they are well used their position is
superior to that of the man whose
freedom Is his sole asset. l have
found the same attitude in North
Africa. From Morocco to Tripoli one
sees most of the slaves well content
and f1Ourishing. The famine, the
locusts, the drought and the tax col
lector have no terror for them; work
keeps them healthy, they have enough
to eat and drink and the future has no
meaning at all. There is promotion;
there are confidential missions to
governors and friends that elevate a
slave, IL only in the eyes of his fell
lows, and there is always a chance of
manumission when the owner dies
and wishes to have some good deeds
recorded in the books of Islams re-
cording angels. The sorry truth of
the matter is that slaves under Mo-
hammedan rule are much better off
