An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 16th.-(Spe-
cial.)-That a sure cure has been dis
covered for those sciatic pains that
make SO many lives miserable is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. S. Colson, a
~well-known resident of this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is SO firm in his opinion
is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking Of the matter he
says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done ME lots of
good. had awful pains in my hip so

Pills stopped it entirely. I think they
are a grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic Pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no

The two lesser satellites located by
the watchful California scientists are
in several particulars strikingly like
the members of the great family of as
teroids which have their orbits within
the orbit of Jupiter and outside that of
Mars. It has been suggested that these
asteroids are the fragments of some
great planet which exploded during the
early days of the solar system. It IN
not without the realm of possibility
that the new Perrine Satellite, moving
in so remote an orbit, is stray as
teroid which has finally come within
the influence of the planet.
It is gratifying that some Of the won
derfuI things predicted of the observa-
tory on Mount Hamilton have come to
pass. Although it is the most recent of
the great astronomical stations, It has
already accomplished enough to make
it famous for all ages to come.

ANTS NOSES,

In their antennae. or feeIers, ants
have i've noses, each of which has its
own duties tc perform.
One nose tells the ant whether it is
in its own nest or that Of an enemy;
another nose discriminates between
doors of ants of the same species, but
of different colonies; a third nasal or
gan serves the purpose of discerning
the scent laid down by the ants own
feet, so that it may be able to retrace
the way quite easily; a fourth nose
smells the larvae and pupae; the fifth
nose detects the presence of an enemy
If an ant be deprived of a certain
nose it will live peaceably with enc
mics, but if it retains its fifth nose it
will fight the alien to the death. There
is a difference in the functions of nose
one and nose FIVE although they ap-
pear to be somewhat alike.
This sense of smell does not come till
the ants are three days old. If. there
fore, ants only twelve hours old are
placed among others belonging to diff
ferent colonies they will grow up quite
amicably and not understand that they
are a mixed lot, because they viii have
grown up with ideas of scent in accord
ance with their surroundings. The
sense of smell to them is as important
as the sense of sight to human beings.

bushels are thrashed out by means Of

peasant. In some localities the an
Gent practice Of driving carts drawn
by oxen over the grain as it comes from
the field still prevails.
Unlike most agricultural countries
and especially differing from rural
America, Russia is a land of villages
The peasants do not live in solitary
houses scattered promiscuously over
the farming area. They congregate IN
little hamlets composed of a cluster of
cabins built Of logs and mud and con
tanning a population varying from 100
to ], 900 persons. Every such hamlet is
provided with its church, which is not
infrequently a structure of some archi-
tectural merit, its parish school and its
inn and depot for supplies. The Rus
sian peasant has no taste for segrega-
ton, and life remote from his fellows
has no charm for him. He does not
even prefer his own society when en-
gagged in the fields. In the early morn
ing groups of villagers go out into the
titled areas. and at nightfan they re-
turn in companies

DOWN WITH pooR MATsI

The mat at the front door is neces-
sarily the receptacle Of all kinds of filth
picked up from the streets. In dry
weather there is little use for the mat,
but in wet weather all Clearly disposed
persons use it. The time comes when
the mat is loaded with dirt in more or
less dried state, and the simplest way
Of removing the burden of dirt is to
submit the mat to shaking, generally on
the curbstone or to bring it into sharp
contact with q wall.
This is the modus operandf generally
adopted, much to the annoyance and
discomfort Of the passersby. Frequent
". a most offensive cloud of dust is thus
raised, and that this can be a source of

tiaIities for evil, having regard to its
purpose.
If this clumsy method cannot be all
tered the mat should be taken to a
place where the evil dust would affect
nobody, and every endeavor should be
made to localize the cloud of dust. The
beating of carpets is another necessary
evil which. however. we do not allow

about 1900 times smaller than Jupiter
is far more staid and dignified in it's
daily conduct. The great planet spins
around on it's axis in less than ten
hours This lively gait bulges Jupiter
at the equator. The planets color is
the faintest rose.
It is the present belief of science that
Jupiter is in no condition to support
life as it is known on earth. Although
the earth's senior by innumerable
years, he is believed to be in liquid
condition, and very hot at that Ju-
pliers satellites are so small compare
lively that they have had abundant
time to cool off. For aught that is
known they may be admirably adapted
to sustain life. Unless their present
facilities are expanded greatly neither
Harvard nor Lick will be able to en-
tighten mankind on that point.
The satellites discovered by the great
Calico. the first fruits of telescope
observation, have played a far more
important part in the study of as
tronomy than have those either of
Saturn or of Mars. The fifth and sixth
are so tiny in comparison that they are
destined to be regarded by future as
trOnomers as being more interesting
than important. The first four-named
10, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto-are
so large and so well defined that they
are of immense use to the practical as
tronomer as fixed points from which
to make calculations involving distance
and direction. The first, second and
fourth are about the size of the moon
but much lighter. The third satellite.
Ganymede, has a diameter and weight
about one and a half times those OF the
moon, with three times her bulk.
These moons of Jupiter are also useful
in determining longitude. Their eclipses|
are calculated at Greenwich, and the
times are recorded in the British Nau-
teal Almanac. The greatest service
rendered to man by Jupiter's moons,
however, is that their eclipses and va
riations in time first suggested the We
locity of light ROemer, Danish as
tronomer, in 1875 suggested. that light
requires a definite time to travel a
prescribed distance. His suggestion
was too radical for the age, and he was
promptly frowned upon. but time vim

precedence. and the parish priest is

The papa himself is by no means too

why he should covet the copecks that

is not defrauded thereby of her pro

about him that characterizes the other

his mere person is held sacred. He is

realize that he is only one of them

The present extensive social disorder
in the empire, fomented by the industrial
organizations and led by a priest of the
Orthodox church, may be the beginning
of revolt, but it is evident that the So,
100000 moujiks living a quiet commu-
nal life in European Russia have yet no

The lands now held by the peasants,
or, rather, by their proxies, the village
cOmmunes, were originally the proper
ty of the mobiles, who We're paid by the
state for their conhscation. The serfs
who were living in villages were allow
ed to retain them, each finally receiving
an allotment of thirty-three acres. A
village of a hundred families thus be-
came the owners of $500 acres of land
in common. This plan still prevails,
and the communes are responsible for
the taxes. The taxes are estimated for
a period of fOrty-nine years. At the
expiration of that time the rate may be
modified. Many villages have been suf-
fciently prosperous to acquire an alb
solute title to their lands. Others have
made large payments looking toward
permanent ownership. It seems to be a
situation exceedingly like the present
land condition in Ireland, With a slight

promising outlook.
Specifically considered, the condi-
ton of the Russian moujfk would
scarcely justify revolution. It is not
only infinitely better than serfdom. but
it is far less trying than that of the
peasantry of some other European
countries. 1t is UNNECESSARILY superior
to that of the lower classes in the con

must not be forgotten also that the

The honor of the discovery belongs
TO Professor c. d. Perrine, who bv

by the observatory has located anoth-
er of the satellites which revolve about
the great central Iuninary denoninated
Jupiter In the sense that the Harvard
men have established a species Of mo-

be affirmed that the Lick experts have
acquired the right to exploit Jupiter.
The NTH moon Of Jupiter is also a pro-
tege Of the California institution, hav-

nard in 1892. The four earlier finds
were made by the inventor of the tele-

located the fifth satellite of Jupiter has
been disputed, and there seems to be
some ground for the contention. In the

the bHssful ignorance of communal ru-

It is in the cities that the leaven of
discomfort has expanded into the pro-
portions OF a revolt against the estab-.
lished order. In two centuries the peas
ant inhabitants chosen by the astute
Peter have developed into the very
class he was so anxious to avoid. Dur
ing all that time the security of the
Russian political system has rested in
the ability of the government to keep
the masses in ignorance. AS long as
that effort was successful there was lit
tie fear of an uprising. The Orthodox
church connived at the scheme to make
education exclusive.
With a strange and almost fateful
