LEAN TOWARD THE NORTH.
Popularity of Walls and Chimneys in
New Orleans French Quarter.

There are many strange and pc
cuiiar things about the French quarter
of New Orleans" said the man who
observes things. "but l know of none
stranger than the fact that the chin
neys and walls of the older buildings
all have a tendency to lean toward the
north. | have puzzled over this fact
for a lons time, but have peen unable
to arrive at any sensible solution OF
the popularity. Across Canal street
the chimneys are either erect or ii
they are inclined to be out of plumb
are just as likely to lean in one di-
rection as another, while in French
town they invariably tilt to the north.
On Charles street this anomaly is par
ticularly apparent. Some of the chin
neys closely resemble the leaning tow
er Of Pisa, and it would seem that
the slightest jar would send them
toppling over. However, the old build
ers were good workmen. They put up
walls and Chimneys to stand and many
of the other buildings which are now
apparently crumbling to decay would
last for many years if some care were
taken of them. Speaking of the chin
neys again, l have asked many people
for an explanation. Few had noticed
the tendency and none could suggest
a reasonable cause. New Orleans

Unless early and correct treatmenti -
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet. swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices brick

lose no time in commencing treatment

saving her life.

Delicate Tints Seen This Season on
Mems Necks and Ankles.
When women in past seasons en-
tered a certain uptown shop that is de-
voted to the sale of hosiery and found
any of their men acquaintances at a
counter, they wondered who was the
particular She for whom he was buy
ing silk stockings. But this season it
is a fair chance that the man will call
his woman acquaintance over to help
him match" socks with the cravat he
is wearing. The man who desires to
be ''in the running this summer must
have his half-hOse match his cravats.
No such ordinary combination as navy
blue foot and ankle coverings to har-
monize with tie of the same shade
will suffice for the swell of this sea-
son. He is buying (and wearing) pink
and mauve socks to go with cravats of
those delicate shades. hitherto associ-
ated with the fair sex. He is buying
them by the half dozen pairs, at that.
He has gray halfhose for his gray ties,
and If any one wishes to go to that ex-
treme, there are gre"n ones to go with
the emerald green ties certain men
are beginning to wear.--New York

we were married and had suffered

to discontinue 1t. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The

WASTE OF FOOD IN NEW YORK
Enough to Feed 100000 Poor People
Is Thrown AWaV

The food supply of New York is so
enormous that though the rich and
well-to-do gorged from morning to
night they simply could not eat it all.
There would still remain an abund-
ance for every one if some way could
be found Of distributing the fragments.
Just consider the figures which
have on careful authority: New York
receives every week 100000 900 pounds
of dressed beef, 100000 pounds OF
pork, ham and pigs meat, 100000
pounds of poultry, 100000 pounds Of
sausages, 1,0O0,0 GOO pounds of mutton
and lamb, over 100000 pounds OF
liver, heart, tripe. etc, over 100000
pounds Of canned meats, 100000
pounds of game, and 10000 pounds
of fish.
The fragments of this food, tons and
tons of it, are collected every day and
carried off to fatten pigs in Jersey
or load the fertilizer scows that ply
down the bay. Every day of the year
much of it perfectly good. are taken
from the homes and hotels Of New
York and simply thrown away. A
million people could live and live we'll
on this waste if the problem of col
lecting and distributing it could once
be solved. And 1 suppose any kind
hearted individual could solve it in a
small way himself-with a wagon and
a little brains.-Success.

After the Heart Has Stopped Beating

The restorati of life after the
heart has actually stopped beating is
another miracle of modern surgery,
though the claim cannot be made that
this accomplishment is of much gener-
al value. In cases where the patient
has collapsed while under an anes-
thetic, the chest has been hastily op-
ened, hand thrust in, the still heart
grasped and manipulated, and circula-
ton thus artificially kept up till life
fiutters slowly back.-Leslies Monthly

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight OF
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful llIuminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators OF
the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light of Nature" with The
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness For instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help of acety
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
PLACE as ar illuminant for towns from
central plant, for lighting houses
churches, schools and isolated build
ings of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes,
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small en-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from it's use. The
machine in which the gas is gener
ated is easily installed.

PORCUPINES AND SALT.
Experience That Would Seem to Prove
Salt a Natural Need.

Some men who were camping in the
Adirondacks several years ago, on
breaking camp in the autumn, left an
old tub which was saturated with salt
brine. On returning to the same camp
the next year, they found the tub had
been gnawed until little of it was left.
They were not long in finding out
what animal had done this work, for
the camp was overrun with Canadian
porcupines. At night they became
such a nuisance that the campers We're
obliged TO kill them to protect their
property The handle of a paddle was
gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence
in such numbers during that year,
when they had not been noticeably
abundant in the previous year is that
they had made a rendezvous of the
camp, being attracted by the old brine
tub On this they feasted all winter
and for that reason were greatly
pleased with the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is
the liking of salt an acquired or a
natural taste? Were they ever able to
crafty that taste to any extent before
man gave them chance to do so?

Lamb-Raising in Virginia.

Sheep, or more properly speaking
lamb raising, is an industry of great
importance in Virginia. Statistics for
1904 give 574,913 sheep in Virginia,
valued at $1,705,611. This industry is
not developed in proportion to the
conditions existing in the state. The
entire Shenandoah valley, the Appa-
lachian region, as well as the Pied
mont section, offer excellent facilities
for sheep raising Farm

Negroes Employed in Fighting the

Negroes Employed in Fighting the
Flames Lose Their Lives.
Houston, Tex, July 26.-The fire in
the Humble oil fields, which started
Sunday night, is still burning tiercely,
but it remains confined to the tanks
of the Texas company. While no
names are ascertainable, it is believed
that twelve persons lost their lives.
So far as can be learned these were
all negroes who were employed in try
ing to prevent the spread of the
flames
Forty-three mules are known to
have perished. The managers OF the
Texas company state that the tanks
contained approximately 100000 bar
rels of oil which was valued at about
25 cents barrel, and that none of the
oil will be saved In addition they say
the big pumping plant at the tanks
Was Entirely Destroyed,
making a total loss of more than $780,
600. Yesterday the efforts of the fire
fighters We're confined to throwing up
an earthen embankment between the
burning tanks, of which tner are
eleven, and those in which millions of
barrels of oil belonging to various
companies are stored. These tanks
are 5000 and 1000 feet away from
the fire, but the water which covers
the ground as a result of the rain of
Saturday has flooded the burning oil
to the first level. and sudden boil
over may send the burning fluid to the
second embankment, which would
place the other tanks in greater
danger. The fire is not spreading to-
ward the producing field and it is not
expected that it will. Hundreds of
men are engaged in strengthening the
levees building them higher, and in
throwing up additional ridges.
