to novel use. When the time

an instances, that no kite could be
seen. but when he had run the string
out to its full length he cut 1t and

rid himself of his enemies and could
begin the new year with new courage.
Each new year season there are
contests in kite flying, the object be-
Ing to cut the enemy's string and let

Mahometans and Dcus.

In Egypt dogs are never permitted
to enter the dwelling of a Mahome-
tan; and If one is found in a mosque
he is Immediately put to death
In consequence of this excommuni-
cation from the society which this
animal seems so instlnctively dis
posed to cultivate. Egyptian dogs live,
Tor the most part in the open air,
feeding upon garbage and any other
filth that chance throws in their way.
1t is extremely curious to see the
pains taken by mussulman and a
dog when they happen to meet to
avoid coming in contact with each
other. Notwithstanding this state Of
persecution, dogs are remarkably nu-
merous in the towns Of Egypt The
species is a large one, about the size
and make OF the greyhound.
AS proof Of the Mahometan preju.
dice against this useful animal, It is
sufficient to state that they regard
the terms Christian and dog as
synonymous-both, Of course. in the
most opprobrious sense.
AS a singular contrast for their dis
like for dogs. the Egyptians have ever
held cats in greatest veneration. and
In ancient time even worshiped them.
Bubastis and Atribes. two towns In
Egypt. the former a votary of cats
and the latter Of mice, contracted on
that account so strong an antipathy
to each other that the inhabitants
were never known to intermarry. al

told. they have q similar reverence

Ireland Is country which still
loses thousands of its natural increase
OF population by emigration, in which
more boys are born than girls, and
the most fatal epidemic is influenza.
The population Of Ireland in 1902

numbering 22.949, and the births. 1Ot,.
1863, show q slight increase on the
average of ten years. The deaths IT,
676. were q trife below the average.
The excess Of births over deaths be-
ing 24.1S7. and the loss by emigration
amounting to 4O,19O, there was a do

You Can SCRATCH

Out the blot which defiles the clean,
white page of a ledger, but you can't
scratch out the poisons that defile the
blood. 1t seems rather that you scratch
them in, and the irritation grows worse
with each new attempt to relieve il.
There is only one thing to do in such
case, and that is to entirely cleanse the
blood from the injecting poison.
People who have suffered from dis
eases caused by impure blood, or blood
poisoning, have found in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery a certain and
enduring cure. Lotions and liniments
may alleviate, but they cannot cure.
The disease is i'll the blood, and the cure
must be in the blood also. ,cGolden
Medical Discovery eradicates from the
blood the impurities and poisons which
breed and feed disease. It increases the
activity of the bloodmaking glands, and
so increases the supply of pure, rich
blood, which, nourishing each organ,
builds up the whole body in health and
strength.
The cures effected by uGolden Medical
Discovery" are positive and permanent.
In many cases of disease, such as eczema,
letter, pimples, eruptions and rheuna-
tism, an effectual cure has been found in
Dr. flerCe Golden Medical Discovery,
after all other medicines and means had
failed to help or heal.
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
larger profits paid by less meritorious
medicines will offer the customer a sub
stitute i'll place of Golden Medical Dis
covery" claiming that he knows it to be
"just as good" There is nothing gained
by trading one thing for another which
is only "just as good" There is every
thing to risk in trading the Discovery"
with worlds record of cures for sub
stitute with nothing but the unsupported
claim of an interested dealer behind it.
If you are sick you want to be cured.
That's why you want Golden Medical
Discovery" and nothing else.
There is no alcohol in the "Discov-
cry" and it is entirely free from opium,
cocaine, and all other narcotics.

How Lord Woiseiey Went.

When going about officially Lord
Wolseley was very particular about
appearing in uniform and expected all
officers invited to meet him to come
similarly attired. A few years ago he
arrived at q certain town to inspect
the troops. and some people In the
neiEhborhood gave a large dinner par.
ty In his honor, to which the princi.
pal officers In tho garrison were In
vited. One Of these told me that
when he informed his soldier servant
he should dress at a certain hour, As
no was going out to dinner. tho man
at once inquired whether he was 60.
ing as "an officer or a gentleman"
may add that, as he was invited to
meet Lord Wolseley, he went as an
ofiicer.-M. A. p.

RAILROAD DISCIPLINE.
How the "Brown" Method Of Enforce
IND Requlations Works.

How the "Brown" Method Of Enforce
ing Regulations Works.
Sixty railroad lines in the United
States, embracing one.third Of tie
total mileage, have adopted single
system of disciplinary rules for EN-.
ployes. The rules are, of course
modified to meet local conditions, but
the genial plan Is one invented and
first used by General Superintendent
George K. Brown, of the Fail Brook
railroad, of New York, to check un.
Just discharge of employees and to i'm.
prove the relations between employ.
ers and workmen.
The Brown system" has for It's
foundation a record book" in which
employe of the road In It is written
q brief statement OF every irregularity
for which each workman is responsi.
BILE. When man begins to make
record in the book he Is called to
headquarters and talked to. lie Is not
suspended; he is merely warned But
when the page is filled with "lrregu-
larities." the account is usually closed
with the words, discharged incom.
petent."
For every item entered against the
employe a bulletin Is posted in con
spicuous place, telling what the fault
Is, how II could have been avoided.
and how 1t affects the companys in
terests. These bulletins are dreaded
as much as the "lay-of" for which
they are substituted in the Brown
system"
The objects sought have been sum-
married. in reports-the most impotant
are
Avoiding loss OF time and wages
OF employees resulting in possible suf-
ferDg to those dependent on their
earnings, as we'll as Generalization Of
employees by enforced idleness.

advancing the education of en-
ployes through the medium of bulletin
notes, enabling them to avoid the mis-
takes made by others"
The causes for instant dismissal
have been greatly reduced by the
adoption of the general rule of the
Brown system" The rules, how.
ever, are not intended to operate in
cases of disloyalty, dishonesty, deser-
tion. habitual intemperance, insub-
ordination, immortality or avoidable
violation of rules whereby the COM
pany's property is endangered or de-
stroyed.-World's Work.

They Never Drink Water.

There are hundreds of horses and
thousands of cattle in the Hawaiian
islands which never take drink Of
water Throughout the whole course Of
their lives. On all the Islands the
upper attitudes of the mountains are
given up to cattle ranges. Except
possibly two or three months in the
rainy season there are no streams or
pools of water in any part where the
cattle roam, but everywhere there
grows a recumbent, jointed grass
known by the native name of "man-
inia." This Is both food and drink

WORLDS LONGEST RAILWAY.
Difficulties Encountered in Building
Trans Siberian R,R.

Trans-Siberian R.R.
The Siberian Railway is at once the
longest and best known railroad in
the world. Russia commenced to
build her great railway early In the
seventies. The work of construction
was pushed with all possible despatch.
BY the year 1877 the great line had
been constructed as far as Orenburg.
1t was not until 1880, however. that
the great bridge was completed over
the Volga
Inc section connecting the Volga
and the Obi River basins was then
begun. The first work on tn real
Transsiberian Railway was com
mcnced May ., 1891.
The difficulties encountered In
building the great line have been
enormous. There have been a num-
ber of rivers to be bridged each Offer
ing problem Of it's own to the engi-
neers.
Several OF these streams have been
mile or more in width. with shores
OF shifting sand in the summer season
anu ice nelds In the winter.
In addition there have been miles
OF hills which could only be passed by
tunnelling. The greatest problem,
however. has been presented by Lake
Baikal, the Holy Sea Of Siberia. 1t is
800 miles long and has an area Of 49,.
900 square miles.
On all sides hills arise abruptly to
a height Of from 5000 to 5000 feet.
The depth Of the lake. moreover. Is
so great that bridging is impossible.
The lake is also swept frequently
by frightful storms In order to OBJ
viate this difficulty 1t has been neces-
sary to build road around the lake
a distance of more than a hundred
miles.
This road in places has been cut
through rock at enormous expense.
The cost of this section alone is near.
ly s2O,OO0,000. 1t will, besides, take
four or five years to complete the
line.

A Library for Wine Merchants

The wine merchants Of Zurich have
decided to form museum and library
"du vim" in which evey phase of wine
culture will be represented. One spe-

and another will consist of the uten-
sils, ancient and modern, used in the
manufacture of wine. Indeed. the
museum is to be at once historical,

A DASH OF COLD WATER.

The Barlow Courier Informant in
dulges in the following rather caustic
comment upon Governor Broward's Ev-
erglade drainage scheme:
That hobby of forlorn hope which
landed Mr.. Broward in the executive
chair-the drainage and saving to the
State of the Everglades waxing fat
and arrogant, and bids fair to take up
a large portion of the time of the Leg
islature, possibly to the detriment of far
more important business. Already the
State funds are being literally used that
the Governor and his cabinet may take
iunketing trips of inspection. To what
end no one knows. Were it not a mat
ter of public concern, the sublime conf
dence and egotism of this board of trus-
tees of the internal improvement fund
would be a subject for laughter. Sc
renely it passes judgment and gives opin-
ions Off-hand upon questions which would
puzzle experienced civil engineers, and
the gullible public swallows the unbaked
dose as though it were mass of taffy.
Probably there is no way to check this
Everglade drainage fad, but the Legis-
lature should act with common sense and
restrain the Governor from all action
except by the advice Of an expert en-
gineering commission.
Neither the Courier Informant nor any
timid citizen need fear that Governor
Broward will need to be restrained from
hasty or ill-advised action in the prem

Some People Are Blind to Chances.

1t is a dangerous thing to wait for OPP
portunitics until it becomes habit
Energy and inclination for hard work
ooze out in the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
ing nothing, or looking somewhere else
for it. 1t is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances who sees them.
Some people become so opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where they would pass through a gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious while others will find opportuni-
ties in the most barren and out-Of-thc-
way places. Bunyan found opportunity

lcgory in the world on the UNFINISHED

One boy sees an opening TO his ambition

To get an education in the odds and ends

which another throws away. -Orison
