At daylight this morning a muster OF
the men who were on board the Plymouth
when the fire broke out took place on the

WoMEN'S WOES.
Brownsville Women are Finding Relief
at Last.

It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that aflict humanity;
they must keep up" must attend
to duties in spite of constantly
aching backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop
means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking
pains and many aches from kidney
ills. Kidneys cause more suffering
than any other organ of the body
Keep the kidneys we'll and health
is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endors
ed by people you know.
Mrs. E. c. Best, living on Adams
street, Brownsville, Texas, says:
Having used Doan's Kidney Pills
myself with good results, I would
advise any neighbor who night be
troubled with kidney complaint to
give them a trial. Ny back hurt
and panied me for several years.
1 really can't remember when it
first started. When l would bend
over I would get dizzy spell and
could hardly keep from falling.

Gold and Silver BUGS.

The most remarkable gold bugs in
the world are found in Central
America. They belong to the genus
plusiotis, and one might easily i'm
agine a specimen to be the work of
some clever artifcer in metal. The
head and wing cases are brilliantly
polished, with a luster as of gold it
self. To sight and touch they have
all the seeming of metal, and it is
hard to realize that the creature is
a mere animal. Oddly enough, there
is another species of plusiotis from
the same region, which has the ap-
pearance of being wrought in solid
silver, freshly FURNISHED. One Of
the most beautiful bugs in the world
is a small beetle known to science
as the blue hoplia. Its back is an
exquisite iride6cent sky blue, and
the under part of its body is of a
bright silver hue. The notion that
it contains silver is widely enter
tanned, and attempts have frequent
ly been made to extract silver
from it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiarned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube IS infam-
ed YOU have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which IS nothing but an infarned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

An Unfair Book.

There is a great, and at times,
rancorous rivalry between the
twin cities, Minneapolis and St.
Paul. The story is told that the
Minneapolis school board was at
one time about to decide the
question of having the Bible read
in the public schools. One
member of the. board confessed
that he had never read the book,
and asked a postponement of act
ion for two weeks while he
acquainted himself with it.
At the end of the time he de-
clared himself firmly opposed,
saying that he didn't believe in
putting in book that gave dozens
of pages to St. Poul, but never
said a word about Minneapolis
Hollands.

How the Barber Got His Sign.

The striped barber pole origi-
mated in England in the Middle
Ages, when the professions of the
surgeon and the tonsorial artist
were one. Phlebotomy was then
considered a cure for every i'll.
During the operation, the
unfortunate patient had to grasp a
pole firmly in his hand, that the
blood might flow more freely.
This pole was usually painted red
and to it were attached the white
bandages which the barber surgeon,
or the surgeon barber, used to
stop the blood. When not in use
the pole was suspended outside
the shop, sometimes capped with
a basin, to inform wounded trav-
elers where they might obtain
Tellet.
The practice was made perman-
ent finally by law, and even after
the professions became separate,
both the barber and the surgeon
had to erect the poles outside their
establishments Sunday Maya

A CIVILIAN HERO.
He Served His Country as Truly as
Any Soldier In Battle.

At the close of the Eranco-Prus-
sian war a hasty conference was
held by the German leaders to de-
eide upon the amount of indemnity
which should be exacted from
France. Bismarck, differing from
Won Moltke, telegraphed to Berlin
for fnaneier in whom he had IN
bounded confidence. The man was
a Hebrew and was for some reason
disliked by the great Prussian gen.
eral. When, therefore, he gave his
opinion that the amount demanded
should be so many thousand million
francs Won Moltke exclaimed i'm
patiently:
@Absurdl 1t is too much!"
81 know the resources of the
French people" said the fnancier
calmly. ''They can pay If"
at is a monstrous demandw re-
peated Won Moltke angrily. IF a
man had begun when the world was
created to count he would not have
reached that sum now"
"And that is the reason, inter
rupted Bismarck quickly, his eye
twinkling, ''that 1 got a man who
counts from Moses"
Won Moltke and the Hebrew tried
to look grave, but both laughed, and
the storm was averted.
The sequel to the anecdote has
deeper meaning. The fnancier,
when he received the summons to
the conference, was undergoing
treatment for some affection of the
eyes which required confinement to
a dark chamber. His oculist warn
ed him that if he obeyed the sum-
mons the exposure and delay in the
treatment would almost inevitably
result in loss of sight.
He was silent a moment and then
said: Il think that 1 am needed. l
have no right to consider my sight.
I will 60"
He went, and the results which
the oculist had feared ensued. He
became blind for life.
Won Moltke, when the story was
told him, said briefly: q wronged
the man. He has served his coun-
try as truly as any soldier on the
field"
