TESTED AND PROVEN
There Is Heap Of solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well.
Earned Reputation.

For months Augusta readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done
in this locality Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
Mrs J. F.. Cousins, of 73 Capitol ST.,
Augusta, Me, says: MY husband
procured Doan's Kidney Pills in 1898
at Willis r. Partridge's drug store and
they cured him Of severe backaches
and other troubles arising from the
imperfect action of his kidneys. We
know of a number of others who have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and in every
case the results have been satisfac-
tory. During the several years since
we first learned of the merits Of this
remedy our faith in it has constantly
increased"

TO TEN Next year.. weather.

To predict weather a year in advance
is the latest feat that scientists are
trying to accomplish, according to
John Elfreth Watkins. The Technical
World Magazine contains an article by
this writer in which he tells of the lat
est advances in weather fo~recasting
and of the new U. s. Astrophyslcal
Laboratory in Washington. Variations
OF the heat radiation OF the sun are
the basis for the new science Of long
distance weather predicting; and spe-
cial instruments have been devised to
meet the requirements of this special
work. One of the most interesting Of
these instruments is the bolometer,
which will detect. variations in tenn
perature Of the miliionth part of a
degree. Through the work of this
branch OF the weather bureau the gov
eminent hopes to be able to tell the
farmer whether or not he will have a
wet, dry, warm or cold season, so that
he may regulate his crops accordingly.
The aims and methods of this new sci
ence are given In a very popular and
interesting presentation and the article
Ia well illustrated.

Death In Yhe Family Caused Animal
To Refuse Food.
Most people, I presume, have read
of dogs that have grieved themselves
to death on account OF the ioss cf a
dearly loved master said a X street
man to a representative of the Wash
ington Star. .'In fact" he remarked,
Il know personally of one instance
where a valuable dog, who was a prime
pet of his owner, refused all food and
actually dwindled away to a mere skel-
eton when his master passed away.
II have just noticed a case in his
town that impressed me very sensibly
as to the knowledge that certain AMI
mails have when there is sorrow or ca
lamity in the family they belong to-.
This is a dog story, too explained the
narrator, and shows the perfect

dog barked her noise awakened the

CURIOUS MAYoRAL CUSTOMS.

Eruit for Lord Mayor-Drinkihs ~
SIR Francis brakes Memory.
IF is not generally known that veni-
son warrants are sent to the lord may
ar of London and sherlffs by
of the king twice a year, says LONDON
Tit-Bits. In July warrants for DUCKS
are issued and in December TOT does
In the year 1101 the king then reign
ing pranted and confirmed by charter
that 1.-THE citizens Of London shall have
al, the rights and privileges to the
hunt in the royal demesnes as well ana
as full as their ancestors had.'
Eventually, however, the cltlzehs
were debarred from enjoying the chase
In the royal parks and as a soiatiuin
1t was ordered that the lord mayor OF
London and the sheriffs should be sup
piled annually with so many deer 1rom
the royal parks and forests. Ihls Or
der was issued some centuries ago anu
ever since the first commissions OIL
works has yearly sent the warrant loH
the yenison for the occupiers OF the
Mansion House to the city remem-
brancer.
Another old custom in association
with London's mayoralty Is the pre-
senting of fruit by the Fruiterers com
pany to the lord mayor and the lazy
mayoress. The ceremony appears TO
have originated in the fourteenth cen
fury and at one time was a very pic
turesque affair. Nowadays, however,
the presentation of the fruit Is taken
as a matter Of course and without cere-
mony. In days gone by the master,
wardens and clerk Of the Fru1terers
attended at the end Of Mo-
vember at the Guildhall and appraised
| the lord mayor Of the presentation, In
| forming him that twelve bushels Of ap-
pies Of various kinds were on the way
from Harrington market. Twelve men,
carrying on their heads panniers con-
tajnins the apples, headed by the COM
pany's beadle in official attire, then
marched to the Guildhall and laid
their offerings before the lord mayor
and lady mayoress, each receiving IN
return a bottle Of wine.
The election Of the mayor Of High
| Wycombe could not be considered COM
plete unless he were weighed in"
His worship, as well as every member
Of the corporation, is placed on a pair
Of gigantic scales and the result Is en-
tered in a big book kept for the pur-
pose. This custom is said to date back
to the reign of Edward I.
The mayor Of Plymouth is forced by
an old custom to visit at least once dur
ing his year Of office the Lake of Bur
rator. When he Journeys TO the lake
he is followed by all the members Of
the corporation. Reaching the banks
the procession forms up in two lines
and a couple Of ancient goblets are fill
ed with water drawn from the lake
and passed round from mouth to
mouth. The mayor and corporation
drink to the memory of Sir Francis
Drake, who when mayor Of Plymouth
in 1851 brought water to the town by
means of a canal some twenty miles in
length.

added in an explanatory tone.
D younger sons never fall in love,

a delicate suggestion of surprise.
Chester sighed again.
"Not seriously. Yea see, it's too ex-
pensive," he Informed her.
She tapped the marble Of the balus-
trade with her fan, and studied the dis
tant Cupid with family amused eyes.
"You must be dreadfully poor she
said at last.
"Oh-we're ali on our last legs

umph. "You mightn't think it to look
at us, but we are. At present we're
Just managing to keep up appearances,
but that's ALL"
The Tilt Of a waltz came softly from
the windiws of the great ballroom, and
