Disease for three years, after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief. Mr.. ]. o. Laude-

boxes OF Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys. but gave
me better health In general. or course

Fruits Replace Flowers.

Fruits are replacing flowers as deco rations for the table, and for this pur- pose arg used not fruit bought by the pound, but fruit on it's branches. These branches are entwined in the hanging lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence hang fresh entrants, shining cherries, plums with the bloom on them, golden apricots, etc. On the table, in little flat glass dishes shaped like leaves, are ar ranged cherries, entrants and other fruit in season. These cut glass dishes are made in Q very practical form. with a second compartment in which are placed powdered sugar and little spoon. There may be four or six of them, of fairly large size, or else little ones may be chosen, in which case there should be one to each guest. New and ingenious ideas for laying the tables are being continually introduced. Thus beside the plates are placed small cres- cent-shaped plates for salad. and some times delicate little s.lver knives and forks, used only for this purpose-aa in the case of fish knivesS-are added Chicago Times-Herald.

BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.
A Little Negro Patient at a New York Hospital Makes the Doc-
 tors Laugh.

l Mirth and misery commingle oddly | at times to tighten the burden of wretchedness and woe which is the lot 1 of the untortunates who are inmates of 1 the city's great hospitals. A score of lswan-faced sufferers were distributed 1 among the neat white cots of medical ward in Bellevue one day when a new patient was brought in. He was q dimiuutive colored man, short, squat, thick-set, black as ebony, with heavy protruding lips and a bullet-shaped head sparsely sprinkled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old, and was born in ''I.oudon county, Virginy, sah." All was quiet in the ward save an occasion al groan from some weary sufferer, when the doctors, four of them, grave faced and dignifed, came to examine the new arrival.
 "Well, George, how do you feel ?" asked the house physician. bending over the cot. The little darky looked at the doctors asloance for a moment, rolled his big eyes aTOuuu, duu ''I'se hungry"
 Have you any pain?" asked the doc tor.
 "No, sah. 'ceptin' Tse hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to make the usual examination. In the middle of his back they found 8 criss-cross cicatrix.
 "How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunkle," replied the patient, tersely.
 "Whas's .h.s?" continued the inquis- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion in the calf of the patients leg.
 "Dorg chawed it," said Smith, apa- thetioally.
 A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and 8 patient in the next cot forgot to moan. Next the physician found mass of irregular scars, which looked as if an eight-inch shell had patients face and neck,
 "Explosion?" queried the doctor, poin ting to the spot.
 "Mewl kicked me-" sa' Smith with s you-make- -me-tired air.
 Even the grave equanimity of the men of medicine was disturbed, and pa tients in adjacent cots laughed out right. Further examination showed network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tracks in the New York Central freight yards.
 "Razer f1te," was Smiths explana- ton.
 And where did you get these?" said the doctor, with an amused smile, lay ing his fingers on three big welts on the negro's scalp.
 'Cakewalk. Kin hev chaw uv ter baker?" he went on, and the ward was in an outburst of laughter.-N. Y. Sun.

Larrent Bust on Record.

The bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, the architect of the famous Crystal palace in London, is now being moved from its old position on the Terrace to the Pa rade. The work of moving it is much like that of moving house, for the bust is one of the largest ever made. It was completed in 1869 and stands over nine feet in height. Sir Joseph Paxton was born in Bedfordshire in 1903. and was l<nighted for his services in designing the Crystal palace. He died in Syden- ham in 1865. His plan for the Crystal palace was accepted after 233 other plans had been declined. He also won lame as landscape gardener and archi- tect, and was elected to parliament as . ifberal.-Chieago Tribune.

MANY STAGE SETTINGS.
Elaborate Preparations for the PrO- ducttOn of New Modern
 Drama.

The preparation for new play, as tar as the scenery is concerned, is most interesting. A complete model in min iature is made about the size of one If the Ger1h..r toy theaters seen In the shops. T~e picture Is carefully painted, the re s, if there be any, and the foliage are cut oat, and all the de- tails are followed with no less thought .han when the real affair is attacked. The work is done in water color, mounted on pasteboard, and if tho scheme be an interior there are real curtains in miniature, flights of steps, and the hangings, all seriously worked out. It is something that would de- light the heart of boy and furnish him with endless amusement. These models are kept until after the piece is produced and are then put away on shelves, alas! only to warp and be- come covered with dust. eBut the mas- ter painters work does not end here by any means. for there are lights to be arranged, since they play an impor- tant part in the performance, and must be regulated by the scheme ot color, so there are long conferences with electricians and many discussions with the makers of glass shades where 9y the exact tints may be obtained. When every detail has been settled then the great acres of canvas are spread on the paint frames and the drawing is begun. Large china pots are used for the colOrs. These are filled with paints, which are mixed with water and size, and eIormous brushes put the pigment on the can vas. It is wonderful to watch the artist, who dashes on the paint with no apparent care and who has to work last to cover the surface before the color dries, which it does quickly.-N. Y.
