AS for the site-it is one of the
finest in the country. There is moth

Henry. when he stood on Lookout
mountain during his inspection of the
battlefields on his visit to this country.
The jutting promontory of the his

afternoon or in the early gray of the
morning dawn or at sunset when the
sky for hundreds of miles flames in

scene is one never to be forgotten.

Dress COVERINGS,

Some girl with a love of pretty
things hit upon the clever idea of max
ing the great bags and slips, with
which she covered her best bib and
fuckers, of fiowered stuffs instead of
the usual plain white muslin affairs.
The open door of the closet reveals a
pretty sight, instead of rather funer-
cal effect the muslin shroudings are
bound to give.
Choosing a closely woven material.
so that the dust is as safely defied as
when a stout muslin is the shield, is
the only point that need be looked to.
Have some of the covers big, sheet
like affairs-there are certain gowns
which keep in better condition If
something is folded about them than
if they are slipped into the roomiest
of bags.
Put loops upon bags or wrapping
sheet, SO that their weight, little as it
may seem, will bear directly upon the
closet hooks. instead of adding its
mite to dragging the delicate skirt or
blouse out of shape.

of an old farmer, he addressed the

FINE SPECIMENS OF PEARS.
Grown an a Ranch in Upper Part Of
Cameron County

The Corpus Christi Caller of
recent date has the following men
ton of some fine pears which were
grown on a ranch in the upper part
of Cameron county:
At the Office of Senator Willacy
in the rear of the City National
Bank the Caller reporter was this
morning shown some fine specimens
of pears grown on Mr.. John G.
Kenedy's (La Para) ranch. While
not yet fully matured, the fruit is
of a very large, roundish size, with
many pears on a single branch.
Mr.. Kennedy has a large orchard
OIL MS ranch, where, besides these
excellent pears, he has some of the
finest oranges and lemons to be
found anywhere. 1t has been set
tied beyond all doubt that this
section, and in fact all that be
tween Corpus and Brownsville, is
one of the best for fruit growing
anywhere i'll the United States and
it is a matter of only a short time
before many orchards will dot the
country between Corpus Christi
and the Rio Grande, whereas at
present fruits are only grown on

BROWNSVILLE now has bright
prospects for the construction of
waterworks and electric light plant
within the zext eighteen months.
While TIE HERALD favored MUM
cipal ownership of these utilities,
and still feels that II would have
been wiser for the council to have
given the people chance to vote
on such a proposition first, yet it
cannot but rejoice with our citizens
at the prospect of having water and
light even with private ownership.
As THE HERALD has previously
stated, the franchise appears to be
fair. The personnel of the com
pany, comprising as it does a large
number of our leading citizens,
gives promise of successful issue to
this important enterprise.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe.
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys 6ltel
the blood. They work night ant
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in
the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine, etc. But if
you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
surance agent, of Corpus Christi
Texas, says: MY wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull ach-
ing pain in her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over a year. They also cor
rected the action of the kidney
secretions which had been rather
irregular. Knowing this to be a
fact 1 have no hesitation in endors-
ing this remedy, and trust it
may be means of helping others
similarly afflicted.

Naive.

Robert Watchorn, the commits

sympathetic and thorough study
of the immigrant types that reach
New York. Discussing these
types the other day, he said: The
most naive are the Germans from
the smaller and remoter states.
They have the charming simple
and quaint minds of children. A
beautiful German girl disembarked
here the other day. She was tall
and strong, blue-eyed and yellow
haired. She wanted to know at
once if there were any letters for
her. The postmaster at the pier,
after getting her name, said, by
way of a joke: Is it a business
or a love letter that you expect"
The girl talteTed:
A business letter.
Well, there's nothing here,
said the man, after looking over
the assortment.
The girl hesitated Then,
blushing as red as q rose. she said:

among the love letters now. sir -
