NEW YORK TENANTS LUCKY.
Tn Comparison With the Man Who
 Rents a House in London.

According to Sydney Brooks London correspondent for Harper: Weekly, New Workers who live ir rented flats or houses are enjoying condition of paradise, compared with the lot of the London tenant.
 The British landlord, he com plains. is a tyrant; and the long lease system Is the basis of his tyranny. The system of twelve months leases that obtains in New York is the Magma Charta of the tenant It has done infinitely more for American happiness than either the Declaration of Independence or the divorce laws. It makes land lords compliant and eonfers upon the tenant a status of something very like equality.
 To be able to take a house or a flat for a year, with the option of re- newal at the same rent-a rent that in houses includes all decorations and repairs, and in flats includes steam heat. electric light and a perpetual supply of hot water-is 10 be a free man.
 What London landlords are ap- parently on the lookout for is a slave, and a slave who, besides be- ing a millionaire. will outIive Met- huselah Virtually it is nothing more than the skeleton framework of a home that he hands over to you for twenty-one years. The ten- ant does the rest.
 If he wishes 10 add a new window or 70 put in the electric light, it must be done al his own expense. You are to imagine a procession of tenants passing through every Lon don house, each one of them laying out money on some pet improvement of his own-this one adding a hil- Hard room. that one concentrating on a gas cooking range, a third lavishing parquet flooring upon he drawing room, a fourth bringing the bathroom up 10 date. a fifth install ling a heating system, and so on. And every one of these additions be- comes in the end the landlords property.

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body, and 1t is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass 1t safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and SO many of the aches that are commonly at tributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are besn-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass off more than an ounce of poison every day when in health,
 But 1t does not take much 10 set the kidneys back, and when they get behind. they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys. causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twinges when stooping or lifting It crystaIIizes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keeu- est torture. IL attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica- It brings headache. dizziness. languor, and disorder of the urine.
 Try s good kidney medicine. If you have any of the above symptoms.

To enable Japan to compete fa- vorably in the commerce of to-day the Japanese government has adopt ed the practice of requiring their diplomatic and consular officers abroad, more particularly those sta tioned in the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, and China, to procure and forward to the department of agriculture and commerce for their museum at To- kyo samples of articles, either man. ufactured in their respective district or imported into them, which are competing or are likely to compete with Japanese productions or sam~ pies of articles which Japan might possibly be able to produce. These samples are renewed from year to year, those left over from the pre- vious one being sent to the different perfectures for distribution among persons interested.

AN l. |. !. HfE - a A close and of proving, even when Bessemer' himself was beginning to despair, that the. new process of refining was at once theoretically correct, feasible, economical and ad- yantageous, says a writer in the En- gineering Magazine. At the time when the industrial world was startled by the first announcements of MT, afterwards Sir Henry, Besse> mer's remarkable investigations. there was living in England Peter kleman, Swedish merchant ana owner of ironworks at Dormsjo and Garpenberg. Kleman was an en- thusiastic believer in the future of the process, and, aided by drawings furnished by Bessemer and a com- patriot engineer, named John Lef- fer, promptly erected at Dormsjo a furnace for the purpose of continu- ing, on sufficiently large scale, the English inventors S. experiments, The results achieved were far from sat- isfactory, and of nature to justify much of the criticism aroused by Bessemer's proposals. They failed, however, to convince Consul G. F. Goransson, then member of a firm of wholesale merchants which owned the Hogbo iron works and Edsken blast furnace. He purchased in 1857 Bessemer's patent for Swe- den, and for many months continued experiments at Edsken with varia- ble and in conclusive results. At length, on July IS, 1858, after cer- tain notifications in the furnace, a blowing was made which verified the highest hopes founded on Besse- mer's method-the steel flowed cas- fly, was of close grain, could readily be taped and, in test forging, show ed excellent qualities.

The first visit of a Spanish war ship to Cuban waters since the sep aration of the island from Spanish control ten years ago was recently made a joyous event in Havana. It was purely a friendly visit, and the spirit in which old foes got together affords cheering evidence of the changed relations between Cuba and the mother country. Considerably more than ten years had to elapse before the animosities of the revolu- tionary war ceased to affect the rela- tions of the people of this country with the English. Cuba has more cause to be bitter against the Span ish rule than the United States had to hate and distrust England. The rule of the Spaniard in Cuba was a cold blooded oppression. Yet Cuba seems willing to forgive and forget at the first opportunity to show na- tional good will. Ties of race, tra- dition, history, literature and re- ligion bind the Cuban and the Span- iard too strongly to permit memories of old wrongs to keep them long apart

FISH AS CURE FOR ILLS.
Superstitious Have Found Charms
 and Panaceas in Finny Tribe.

The one fish medicine of which modern science thoroughly approves is cod liver oil, and this. though in far less nauseous form than former ly, is swallowed in tons every year.
 In old days a much wider use was made of fish as cures for various evils and some of these practices have sur vived to the present day. Some little time ago boy died of epilepsy in a North Wales parish. The doctor, called in too late, inquired if the de- ceased had been given any medicine. "oh yes," was the answer. "We caught a trout, drowned it in new milk, and gave it to the boy"

 Waterbury Testimony.
 James Connally, of S4 East Clay street Waterbury. Conn. says: .'Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backache and kidney trouble after I had suf. fered for years and had doctored for 1t without getting relief. Thomas NH. Ter. 6 friend of mine boarding at thn house. was all broken up on account of his back palning him. He was weak in the loIns and co badly troubl- cd that he was homesick. He had as bad a case of kidney trouble and backache as I ever saw. I told him about Doan's Kidney Pills and asked him to send to IT. ". Lake Drug Company for a box. He began taking them and In a few days was back at work. Ills back is as strong as eyer now. A number of eases have cone to my notice where Doan's Kidney Pills have cured people of Kidney con- plaint and backache. look upou them as q certain cure.

HEARD IN PASSING.

Hard to say just now what is and what is not on the Persian carpet.
 In the absence of such thing as a real cool wave a wave that is not su- perheated is boon.
 When the shah of Persia lacks oth- CT forms of excitement he can be de- pended upon to shoot up" that new ! parliament of his.
 Now that Betsy Ross, the flagmak- CT, has been assailed as fake the iconoclast will probably not hesitate even to question the identity of Mar tha Washington.
 The members of the douma having started in to vote themselves raise of pay, there is no longer doubt but the Russian parliament is an up-to- date legislative body.
 Politics is of no more importance than the price of beef," says a con- temporary. But just now the people think that the price of beef is the most serious thing moving.
 King Edward marked his birthday anniversary by creating fifty new knights and peers. Evidently he wants England to be in the competi- tion so long as the supply of Ameri- can heiresses holds out. ~
 The man who can make his son be- lieve that it is more patriotic to buy a nice silk flag than to spend his money for frecrackers deserves a large chunk of public esteem whether he has done any other great service or not.

peasants as remedy for falling hair

peasants as remedy for falling hair. But the most valuable part of the eel. according to popular superstition, is its skin. Many an old farmer wears a belt of eel skin as a pre- ventive against rheumatism, and some believe that a garter made of the skin of this snake-like fish worn next to the human skin is a preventive not only against rheumatism, but also against sprains or similar injuries.
 Another cure for rheumatism. which finds favor with salt water fishermen, Is red herring. The her ring being the most plentiful of all the sea fish, number of supersti- tions have attached themselves to it. For luck through the ensuing year one must be sure to eat a herring on New Years day.
 Fishermen believe that each shoal is headed by king herring, which is more than double as large as any of its followers. They believe that. when one of the kings" comes up in the net, 1t should be thrown over board; otherwise the next days fishing will be a failure.-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

THE ROAD TO WEALTH.
The First Thousand That Counts Save That, You're on the Way.

The thing that counts" said a man fo independently large means accumulated by hard work, saving and wise investments, "is the first thousand dollars; when you've got that amount together you are begin ming to get somewhere, and with that start you will want to keep on. The red ink interest entries that you see put down in your savings bank book twice a year will strike you very pleasantly indeed. As interest on your thousand dollars you'll get thir- ty-ive or forty dollars in a year your money has begun earning mon- ey for you.
 You've got an income now and you'll want to add to 1t. You will leave that interest in the bank to be added to your principal. and now your interest will begin to draw in- terest. and to be sure you will keep right on adding to your principal too, and every six months you'll see those red figures growing bigger and big ger. pretty figures to contemplate: and you'll keep right along saving. But the thing that really counts is the first thousand dollars. Get that and you're all right And you'll al- ways be glad you've saved it.
 For there really Is nothing ing like financial independence, or like having at least some money laid by. Then if you want money you've got it. You don't have to go to friends to borrow and take the risk of being refused, the risk of being compelled to go without what you need. If you've got money in the bank you can go there and get 1t There might come a time when you would need money for your family or for yourself very much: it's a grand thing to have It where you can get if.
 There's nothing mean about being saving and accommodating money. on the contrary it is every mans duty to make himself fnar- ciaIly indepsndsut. I don't neaa at all that a man wants tn set out to accumulate srea. wealth. there's no great fun u that: tu. wh7t he 6ces want to do is to ser together enough to live on modestly-"

The Irish emigration statistics for

The number of natives of Ireland who emigrated 4,130.O15) is equivalent to 76.6 per cent of the average pop ulation-Munster having lost 1.436.- 796 persons, being equal 10 1032 per cent of the average population Of the province: COnnaght. s2.692. or s2.5 per cent; Ulster, f,15s.951. or 64.9 per cent: and Leinster. 713.- s37. equivalent 10 52s per cent o- its average population. The county 10 which the emigrants belonged was not specified h the returns in 1iO.- 73s cases: this information has, however, been obtained In every case since 1876, with the exception O. 8 cases in 1880 and T in 1903 The emigrants who left Irish ports during the year numbered 32.5s2. or go per 1000 of the estimated population of Ireland in the middle of the year, showing an increase of 3,s4I as compared with the emi- grafton in the year 1906. The num- Der of males who emigrated in 1sOs was 21,50s or 1.s65 more than in the year 1906: and the number of females 1s,056. showing an increase of 1,7s1. IL appears that the num- Der of emigrants. natives of Ire land. vho left Ireland in 1907 is above that for the previous year. and above the average for the pre- osding five years bY z.5o2.
