ago wrote you stating that / had
been entirely cured of severe kidney
trouble by taking less than two
bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It
entirely stopped the brick dust sedi-
ment, and pain and symptom Of kid
ney disease disappeared. / am glad
to say that I have never had a return
OF those symptoms during the four
years that have elapsed and / am
evidently cured to stay cured, and

Cure to any one suffering from kidney

Odd Way In Which tho Beautiful
Waltz Was Written. .r :

Waltz Was Written. S. :.
1t was linen cuff and the quick
thought Of the woman who Wore it
that gave us one of the prettiest Of
the tuneful Strauss. waltzes. Johann
Strauss and his wife were one day en-

it down before forget it, Alas,
after much rummaging of pockets it
was found that neither Of them had a
letter, not even a bridesmaids bill.
Johann Strauss music Is considered
light, but 1t weighed as heavy as: lead
on his brain until he could transfer it
to paper. His despair was pathetic.
At last a happy thought struck Frau
Strauss. She held out a snowy cuff.
The composer clutched 1t eagerly, and
in two minutes that cuff. was manu-

SEPARATION was incomplete. Strauss was
frantic and was about to make. a wild

A STUFFED EMPEROR.
Fate of Valerian of Rome, Captured by
the Persians.


Fate of valerian of Rome, Captured by
the Persians.
One of the most remarkable stuffed
skins on record was that Of Valerian,
emperor OF Rome, who was taken pris.
oner and afterward kept In chains by
Sapor, king Of Persia He was either
killed in 4 tumult or by order Of his
conqueror, who was perhaps fearful of
losing his valuable lv::- trophy. in
the year 800. The ho,,y Of the dead
emperor was treated with no more
delicacy than when ii held the spark
of living one. 1t was skinned. The
hide after being tanned was stuffed
painted red and suspended in the chief
temple of the capital. 1t remained
there for many years and was the
popular spectacle for holiday makers
ana visitrSe from the country. But n
was put to more important ends than
this. 1t was made diplomatic engine
of much significance and efficiency. In
after times it often happened that the
Roman ENJOYS at the Persian court
had misunderstanding more or less
serious with the government to which
they were temporarily accredited.
When these ambassadors from Rome
grew arrogant in their demands, it was
the custom to conduct them into the
presence of the stuffed skin of the ex-
emperor of Rome, where they were
asked if humility did not become them
at sight Of such spectacle. -"

ANCIENT ATHENS.
eanquetiny In the Grecian City In the
Time of Plato.

Banquetiny In the Greclan City In the
Time of Plato.
In Professor T. G. fuckers "Life In
Ancient Athens the author gives this
as picture Of a typical banquet in
that city in the time of Plato: when
all are in place the servants come
round with a vessel, from which they
pour water over the hands Of the
guests, There are brought in small
tables, light and ornamental, one of
which is set down before each couch
for two persons. and on these are
placed the several dishes as they come
in order. The tables are lower than
the conches, so that the right hand
can reach down easily to them. Knives
and forks there are none The food is
taken up with the fingers. 1t Is true
that In dealing with very soft foods
or gravies / or in extracting things
from shells spoons were not unknown,
but usually the fingers were assisted
by pieces Of bread followed out for
the purpose. 1t is clear that there was
plenty of room for neatness and dainti-
ness in handling food. and it was no
small advantage to have fingers not
too sensitive - u
'"There were no napkins. Portions
Of soft bread. often especially prepared
for the purpose, were used for wiping
the fingers and were afterward thrown
to the dogs which might be present to
catch them but apart from the, dogs
1t may be something Of a shock to
learn that the floor, which was, OF
course, without carpet, was the re

While In buffalo days some Of the
wild Indians of the plains occupied per-
manent dwellings during a part Of the
year. there were others who lived Who'll
" in movable lodges. ;s @ 81!
These were made Of buffalo skins
tanned white and sewed together. They
were Of different sizes, the poor occu->,
plying smaller lodges. while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses, very
likely had large family and required
larger lodge. The size of mans
lodge was to some extent adjudication
Of his wealth. Two horses were need
ed to drag the poles Of a large lodge
and one to carry the lodge itself, three
horses for the transportation, Of the
dwelling alone, to say nothing Of the.
other property and the different nena-
bers of the family. -. -: ;jtss3 /.
A lodge of moderate size required
eleven skins, and eighteen poles We're
needed to set it up. A sixteen skin
lodge required twenty-five poles. The
larger the lodge the greater was the
number of poles needed. I. From the,
fact that they used an unusual number;
Of poles in setting up their lodges It re-
suited that the Cheyennes had we'll
stretched, nice looking lodges ,-sS ISs:s
The northern Cheyennes declare that
an odd number Of hides was always
used for the best lodges, and the mum.

with slnew thread. First, of course,
the hides must be tanned, the hair re-
moved and the skin softened.5 Then

this county. sse Invited Gsr 'Easands
to come and help her sew her lodge

becomes of all the pins?": That is
easily answered. Pins soon corrode
and thusa are transformed into nothing
that is recognizable. A copper cent. on

Iparatiyely speaking. But the solution
Of the problem seems to be that cents
are subject to more accidents than any
other coins. They change hands ten
times as often as dimes. for example
and, being Of small value, they are moi
