Neither was the reply She
adjusts differences between big

valued customers. She's what you Il
call the peacemaker in genreal of
the firm. When valuable things are
returned with evident signs of wear
and the demand is made that they
be credited this lady makes trip
to the customer and explains that
there is evidently some mistake, etc.
She has infinite tact and good hum
or, and seldom makes enemies for
her firm. In lots of cases fashion
able woman will lay the blame Of
returned article on her maid and
say that it was something she did not
authorize. She is so clever about
this sort of thing that she gets a
good salary and a long vacation in
the summer, for when fashionable
people are out of town her business
is dull. IN. Y. Sun.

Concrete Telephone Poles.

The first concrete telephone poles
ever manufactured in Indiana were
made recently by the Richmond
Home Telephone Company and are
now being erected to test their ef-
ficiency. The post was designed by
Superintendent Bailey A skeleton
framework of four corrugated iron
rods is covered with ordinary con-
crete, the material being "slushed'
about the framework while inClosed
in a boxlike mold. The pole is oc-
tagonal in shape, 80 feet long and
provided with mortises for cross
arms, which are fastened in place
by means of iron bolts, and also
mortises to be used by linemen in
climbing. The pole is rs ornamental
as pine poles and has the additional
virtue of being symmetrically tapered
and straight. superintendent Bailey
say that the strongest point in favor
of concrete poles is their durability.
Wooden poles must be replaced by
new ones about every six years-the G
dryer the soil the longer the life of
the pole. The concrete poles, it is
declared, will be lasting. as soil con-
ditions do not affect them. Mr.,
Bailey says the cost will also be less
than pine poles. The manufacture
of each pole can be carried on along
the line where it Is to be installed or
planted.
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful this telephone company, as
we'll as many other companies, will
substitute them for pine poles for
all new work, as as fast as the wood
en- poles become unfit for service.

Worlds LARGEST Pump.

The biggest high-pressure pump
In the world is installed in the Dry
Diggings placer fields of Southern
Oregon, on Rogue River, and is used
to operate a battery of hydraulic
monitors in the mines, writes Dennis
H. Stovall in the Technical World
Magazine for January. This pump
is one of the largest pieces Of min
ing machinery ever manufactured,
and could never have been installed
but for the fact that it was dumped
directly from the cars to the foun-
dation prepared for it at the mines.
The pump was built by the Byron
Jackson Machine Works, of San
Francisco, and was one of the last
big jobs done by this company be-
fore the earthquake and fire. The
pump is of the five-step centrifugal
type, and its weighs, aside from
bearings and gears, just 10000
pounds. Other pumps have been
built that lift as great volume of
water as does this one, but they do
not deliver it under such enormous
pressure. This pump is tested to
withstand a maximum pressure OF
$50 pounds to the square inch. Its
capacity is 100000 gallons per
day of "a hours, or 5000 gallons
per minute. This enormous volume
is delivered through half-mile of
pipe line, the pipe being of steel, 22
inches in diameter. The water is
lifted to a height Of 100 feet and
forced through two four-inch noz-
zles, hurting streams distance of
500 feet. These powerful streams
are played upon the mountain walls
to tear down the goli-bearing gravel.

The Irish intellect is more often

but an Irish workman recently ST.

Patrick was enjoying one of his fre-

tract from our most valuable native me-

accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on-co coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, If not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
in consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered With Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged
Cuticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We called in the
family doctor and he gave some tablets
and said she would be all right in a few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she was
teething; as soon as the teeth were
through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was
eczema. By this time she was nothing
but a yellow, greerish sore. Well, he said
he could help her, SO we let him try it
about week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes.
OF course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3.
He came over and looked her over and
said that he could not do anything more
for her, that we had better take her to
some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.
So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4,
and he said the eyesight was gone,
but that he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged $40
more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly
discouraged. l saw one of the Cutcura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so
l went and purchased set of Cuticura
Remedies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and 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, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drows-
mess, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But If you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
John Barnes, who lives at the Co.
lumbia Hotel, Olympia, Wash, says:
Il have used and therefore, very
highly value Doan's Kidney Pills
The results of a short use of them
over a year ago when my kidneys
showed a deranged condition, were
