UNDERGROUND FIGHTING.
"Sapper" Tells How One Wall at Port
Arthur Was Opened.

s'Sapper" Tells How One Wall at Port
Arthur Was Opened.
One hour before midnight you could
see once more the same men who had
applied the explosives In the bay max
Ing for their victim. The foundation
Of the caponiere was made Of con-
crete, sand and steel plates. It could
turn the largest and most powerful
shells ever manufactured by men into
a loud and foolish joke. The men car
ried this time a larger quantity Of
gunpowder. This they applied to the
cracks made by the former explosion.
The white heat fuse was applied
The report certainly handled the Sc
rene silence Of the midnight without
mercy, tore it into pieces. This time
there was a large rent made in the
wall. Night, once more, rocked the
confusion back to peace and there
came into the rent a number Of Rus
sian heads. Some Of us laughed.
Quick as a fash the rifles Of our men
greetd them. Wide as the rent was,
it was not quite sufficient for men in
haste to pass, and for the third time
we made the preparation Of explo-
sives. At IA minutes past 4. In the
still dark hours Of the 28th, the earth
about us shuddered as it had never
shuddered before, and we saw a hole
in the wall that was over one meter
in width and considerably over one
meter In height. Through this hole
our engineer threw in over twelve
sacks Of explosives. The caponiere was
choked with fume and smoke. The
ash gray Of the breaking day and the
most sinister gray Of the smoke from
the explosives creeping like cowardly
ghosts from the hole in the wall was
broken by silvery flashes here and
there. They were the icy blades of
our men rushing into the caponiere
through the confusion Of the explo-
sion. A crash Of arms, groans, sounds
Of falling bodies, Of broken steel,
shrieks with which the life flew away
from the clay, all mingled and melted
In a confusion far beyond pen and
brush. A few moments later the sum
round flag waved from out of q torn
hole over the covered caponiere a well
come to the newborn day.-Leslie's

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
elated over his cure and gives great
credit to the remedy that gave him
health.
EYES," Mr.. Culet says, "My Rheu-
matism and Kidney Troubles are all
gone and l feel like new man.
Dodds Kidney Pills did it, Before I
used them l spent a small fortune on
doctors and one remedy and another.
l cheerfully recommend Dodd's Kid
ney Pills to anyone suffering from
Rheumatism or Kidney Trouble
Dodd's Kidney Pills always euro
sick kidneys. Healthy kidneys take
all uric acid-the cause of Rheuma-
tism-out Of the blood. That's why
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
Rheumatism.

Quail are becoming so scarce that
b'th France and Germany have abso.
lutely prohibited their killing.
Since the bureau Of plant industry
was organized three years ago it has
been necessary to increase its force
nearly so per cent, and 1t now en-
ploys 500 workers, 60 per cent of
whom are engaged in scientific investi-
cation, and its application to the farm,
the orchard and the garden.
Electricity Is now used in forcing
the growth of plants. Although this
idea may be new one to many, exper-
iments on these lines We're conducted
as far back as 1894, when Prof. War
ner founded his electric gardens at
Amherst, Mass. The gardens were To-
Gated on the grounds Of the govern
ment agricultural experiment station,
and have been the scene Of many inter
esting experiments. By the use Of
electricity it Is found that the roots
Of the plants were larger, the bios
SONS finer, and in the case Of the fruit
bearing stems the crop was many
times greater.
An old yew tree, says the New York
Tribune, stands in the churchyard at
Fortingal, in Perthshire, which De
Candolle, nearly century ago, proved
to the satisfaction of botanists to be
twenty-five centuries old, and another
is still standing at Hedsor, in Buclas,
which Is 3,240 years old. How De
Candolle arrived at an apparently cor
rect estimate of the enormous age of
these living trees is a simple thing,
and the principle is doubtless we'll
known to-day to all. The yew, like
most other trees, adds one line, about
the tenth Of an inch, to it's circumfer-
ence each year. But the oldest living
thing in the world to-day, so far as
known, Is a cypress tree in Chapulte-
pee, Mexico, that is $3.50 years old.

NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG WOMAN'S HAP.
PINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.

ment-How She Was Cured.

1nterfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
enirig about it. At one time it is all in
the top Of the head, at another it is all
at the base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state Of the blood. When the
blood is scar y or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use Of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience Of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years was
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not SO severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that I was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
legged"
"What saved you from that necessity"
"a very simple thing the call of q
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before giving up. I acted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary Of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds Of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

TONS OF PRINTING FOR FARMER.
Agriculture Department. Publications
Number 2,421 1886 In a Year.


A young member Of the Chicago
bar who recently bought small farm
In Illinois for the purpose Of going
into the agricultural business along sci
entific lines as side issue wrote to
his member Of Congress asking him to
forward all publications of the Agri-
cultural Department which might aid
him in his aim. The Congressman be-
gan to send him documents by the
sackful ten days ago and he Is still
sending them. The would-be farmer
has orders to keep his hired man at
the country postoffice each day for
some time yet to come
While this is facetious illustration
Of the work of the Agricultural De-
partment, 1t can be stated without
fear Of contradiction that one Of the
highest compliments paid the efficiency
Of this department. is the constant and
growing demand for it's publications all
over the country, writes Leroy T. Yer
non in the Chicago Daily News. In
recent years the agricultural year
books have come to be considered real
works Of art and a set Of them from
the beginning a highly priced addition
to any library.
The enormity of this printing work
by the department can be best under
stood by the figures from the printing
department. Last year 972 different
publications were turned out by the
department, of which 379, embracing
$4,000 pages, were absolutely new mat
ter. The total number Of copies of
all publications issued during the year
was 12,421 1886 and the total number
Of acquisitions was 4,724, or more than
fifteen separate pieces of work for ev-
cry working day of the year. This
represents a growth of new publica.
lions and in number of documents that
we'll illustrates the favor with which
the work Of the department Is being
received.
During the last session Of Congress
eight Of these publications, aggregat
ing $4,000 copies, were authorized by
law Of Congress. OF this number
100000 copies were of the year book
for 1908. In addition 100000 copies Of
the publication on Diseases Of the
Horse" one of the MOST popular ever
issued by the department, and 10000
on the beet-sugar industry were au.
thorized by special resolution. The
cost of these publications was $500, OO0
Among the smaller publications. the
greatest demand Is for the Farmers
Bulletin, Of which 415 different issues
We're made last year. The aggregate
number of copies issued was 6,435, 200
and of this number Senators and Rep.
resentafives distributed among their
constituents 100000. During the past
three years the Congressman have sent
out 100000 Of these documents
alone. The amount of money expend-
ed for the various bureaus, divisions
and offices of the Department of AgrI-
culture for the printing of their various
reports was $156,465.3S. The average
cost Of the Farmers Bulletin is IA
CENTS copy.

Music as a Profession.

Unless man is rich he ought to be
regarded as criminal if he permits
his sons or daughters to become musi-
clans. In the musical profession there
are a few prizes not of the largest.
but for the largest number of inter
pretative artists the life is one OF
drudgery-the drudgery of learning,
the drudgery of pushing ones self into

They stared at those things; and at
each other.
"Golly," said Jennie; well just
take these, thank you"
"But here's a paper" he said.
Lets get out, the tide will get usy'
cried Mrs. Hatcher. They looked the
old hole pretty well over first, and
then waded out in the water up to
her glowing neck. Outside, they sat
and read the paper, she slowing
those splendid things somewhere in
the neighborhood of her bosom. Here
are the contents:
keep out. Git away. These things
is charmed. The devil will foller him

hides from a Mexican named Juan
Carrillado. We were getting them

Of! This Is to warn anybody that
finds these here things that they are
charmed and the devil will eternal

They sat and pondered for some
time.
"That knocks the bottom out Of it."
said Jennie. "We'll have to hunt Juan
and turn them over"
Doubtless he's dead" said Hatcher.
"Why, there'll be some children or
something. Why, Harrison, you
wouldn't steal?"
II never have yet" snorted Hatcher.
They hurried back to Mrs. Miggs'.
"How's Jones" they asked.
Dead" she said, cool.
"Oh," they replied; and, Of course,
everybody was solemn till after the
funeral. Poor old Jones, who cared?
Oh, ninety-fve years! oh, progress Of
the human race while old Jones wan

They went, free Of old Jones and
his eye at last. Everybody in Laguna
had remarked on the tide to-day, low
est in sixty-two years, when Mrs.
Hatcher plunged into the sea under the
SOUTHERN rocks. 1t enabled one to hunt
abalones to the best advantage, and the
sea YVES as smooth as a new Los An

HATCHER foundered there and saw a
hole IN the rock which the falling tide
had partially disclosed.
"A cave!' carolled Mrs HATCHER and
waded in water nearly to her neck,

Field had not paid the money back
however, when Curtis was called away

NORTHWESTERN COMING.
Buying Right of Way to the Eastern
Edge of Idaho.

A gentleman was in town from the
jackson Hole country this week and
Informed News reporter that recent
ly the Northwestern railway officials
made a payment of $4,000 as part pay
ment for right of way across a large
tract of coal land which Is owned by
number of Wyoming and Chicago
people, says the st. Anthony News.
This right of way has been secured
in order to enable the Northwestern
people to get out OF the Jackson Hole
and control particular pass in the
mountains in their march westward.
The, same gentleman stated that
Northwestern men are in position to
know what they are talking about, re-
Gently stated that the iron would
be laid to the summit of the noun
tain between this place and Jackson
Hole country by the time work closes
down next fall.
He also stated that there is no
doubt whatever In the minds of those
who pretend to know OF the situation
OF affairs but what the Northwestern
will make St. Anthony point OF Its
line,
