NEW YORK, August 2c.-An Italian Ia
borer while digging in the subway excava-
ton at the junction of Fulton, Willoughby
and Adams streets, Brooklyn, this morn
ing accidentally struck a twelVe-inCh water
pipe. The point of the pick cut hole
about half an inch square IN the pipe and
n stream of water spouted up in the ar
fully one hundred feet high The stream
knocked the surprised Italian off his feet
aud he narrowly escaped being drowned.
The break in the pipe held up all the
trolley ears which pass this intersa CtlOn for
a half hour. The water from the pipe
flowed down into the subway excavation in
a great stream and was turned of only
after long delay.

HE wINs RusseRs Al OIcE.
Saloon Keeper, However, Puts by the
Elusive Cubes Forever.

A ban placed on dice shaking in
saloons viii work a hardship on the
proprietor of a certain barroom on
Delaware street, says the Kansas
City Journal. This particular
dramshop keeper is fond of shaking
dice, so much that he would shake a
man for tie saloon as quickly as for
a drink. The other day when it first
commenced to sleet he wanted a pair
of rubbers and every acquaintance
that entered his place Of business he
bantered for a game Of dice for a
pair of rubbers. The first several
challenges met with r%efusals, but.
finally a young man who works in a
drug store a block away dropped in
and when challenged to shake a
game of dice for a pair of rubbers
by the saloon proprietor accepted.
The bones we're rolled. The drug
clerk lost.
On the strength of winning a pair
of rubbers the saloon man set EN-
up after he instructed the clerk to
step out and get the rubbers. He de-
parted and a few minutes later a
negro porter appeared at the saloon
and handed the proprietor a neat
little package. Upon opening it he
found two small rubber bands, ac-
companied by a note which read: 81
hope these rubbers will fit you all
right" 1t was signed by the drug
clerk. The bystanders who had wit
messed the dice game enjoyed the
joke, but the proprietor didn't. His
only remarks we're: "That's moi
very funny. If l had lost | would
have bought him a good pair of rub.

FOR E E

To practice deep breathing draw
in the air slowly, easily and fully.
When you have filled your lungs,
without s~training, hold your breath
in for a few seconds, then slowly
and steadily breathe out through
the nose and keep your lungs empty
for a few seconds before another in
spiranon. The muscles of the body
which the will does not directly con-
troll, like the heart and the respira-
tory organs, work rhythmically.
Therefore, in breathing, do not gasp
and hurry and change your pace
every minute. To practice the right
method, hold yourself, sitting or
standing, in a natural, erect fashion,
with your head raised, throat free
and arms hanging loosely. Do not
practice within an hour after meals
and if you get dizzy it is a sign that
you should stop. Mouth breathing
causes the nose to become eventual.

has its effect on the voice. Resonance
and intensity are lost because the
sound which should ordinarily pass
through the nose is deadened.

WOMEN IT, THEIR RESCUE.
Australian Politics Reformed by the
Work Of the Fair Sex.

A Queensland man told me that
he doubted if in lis o.. ne eoun-
try they could have achieved much if
it had not been for the women, says
a writer in Eyerybody's Magazine.
Every avenue of employment was alb
solutely in the hands OF the in
trenehed governing classes and every
man that agitated for election re-
form was not only discharged but
blacklisted and boycotted, He found
it impossible then to obtain 'mploy-
ment anywhere; no man dared to
hire him.
George Ryland was blacklisted for
five years. They would not let him
pillow nor chop wood nor drive horses.
1t looked like a hopeless fight against
a power so great and so arbitrary.
Often the men were discouraged, but
the women, never; they had more
pluck than the men. The savage in
justice had stirred their utmost re-
sentiment; one and all they urged
their husbands to keep on and never
to yield. In many cases wives as
sumed the burden Of supporting the
family. Some turned dressmakers
and some cooks.
One family that I know lived four
years on a weekly income of between
SO and 81 earned with her needle by
the wife and mother. The husband
tramped Queenstown looking in vain
for work. With such a spirit among
the women the situation could moi
long continue. A body of voters
grew up not of the labor element but
painfully convinced that existing
conditions were wrong. These united
with the few labor men hat had the
franchise, the 'better" element was
outvoted and overturned, the suf-
frage was reformed, the labor party
swept into possession Of the Queens.

AN ELECTRIC PLANT.

A plant has been discovered in
Nicaragua which appears to be
charged with electricity. If one of
its branches is touched with the
naked hand, a distinct shock is felt
similar to that produced by a bat
terry. It's influence upon a magnetic
needle is noticeable at a distance of
half a dozen yards, and as one gets
nearer the plant this influence in
creases; while, if the instrument is
placed in the center of the bush, it
will assume a deadly circular move
ment. The intensity of the phenom-
eonon seems to depend entirely
upon the time of day.

NE ENJOYED THE SERMON
One Phase Of It Particularly Pleased
Uncle John.

Rev. r. B. Gregory, of New York,
widely known by his weekly Sermon
cites in the Sunday World, was, for
a short time in the middle eighties,
pastor Of the Universalist church in
Belfast, Ne. AT that early period
n his career he was already an orig
nal thinker, "A forceful speaker, and
by his unconventional attitude a
rather unique character.
While his singular qualities as a
clergyman did not appeal strongly
TO certain of the older pensioners,
they gained for him a notable popu-
iayity with that mass of the people
who ordinarily took little interest
in church service.
Uncle John Wesley Maxwell, a
kindly old man from a neighboring
village, who failed to inherit that
love for matters theological which
his name would indicate that he was
born TO, upon one occasion went to
hear Rev. Mr.. Gregory preach.
Speaking about it to a friend the
following day the honest old man
said with great earnestness:
'By jolly, | am glad l went to
hear him-he's a smart Teller.
That's jest the kind Of a sermon l
like; there wasn't so darned much
religion in it,"

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL

Greelev People Know How to
Save It,

Many Greeley people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of
suffering aud Ill health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys car
be quickly and permanently cured BY
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills
Here is statement of a Greeley
citizen who has reclaimed good
health by the use of this remedy:
j. L. Francis, living at 1912 Tenth
street, Greeley, Colo, says: My
mother greatly values Doan's Kidney
Pills. About two years ago she
first used them and they proved most
effective for pains and lameness in
the back and rheumatism which was
confined mostly to the lower limbs.
Though people along in years are not
so easily affected by medicines still
she has been spared good deal of
suffering through using your remedy,
as on a number of occasions she has
appealed to it when symptoms of the
trouble returned. The last supply

They are the people who hope to
elect a council that might be favor
able to their scheme.
Whether or not new council
would be more tractable than the old
in the matter of telephone or other
franchises is another question. And
whether or not these candidates
know that this Is the reason their
election is being urged is also an
other question. But. whatever their
own knowledge in the matter that Is
where they will get their most loyal
support.
We honestly believe that We are
telling the plain truth in this mat

selves look into the thing before
election day, now only a few days
away. We have the same regard fot
the candidates on one ticket Is upon
the other, but we have no regard for
some of the issues for which the one
set OF candidates are supposed to
stand.
