WHEN HER BACK ACHES

A WOMAN FINDS ALL HER ENERGY
AND AMBITION SLIPPING AWAY.
Staunton women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life a burden. Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell of
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders. Here's proof of it in a Staun-
toms woman's words:
Mrs. Charles E. Danner, 113 E. Sa-
lem ST., Staunton, Va, says: 81 suff-
cred severely from backache and kid
ney trouble. My back was very weak
and if made quick movement, sharp
pains darted through my loins. My
head ached intensely and 1 was also
subject to dizzy spells. 1 saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended for
troubles such as mine and I procured
a box at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. They helped me from the first
and continued using them until my
back was strong and the other symp-
toms of kidney complaint were re-
moved. Doan's Kidney Pills have my
highest endorsement

THE BUSY BEES.
HOW THE INSECTS WORK WHEN THEY
ARE COLLECTING HONEY.

HOW THE INSECTS WORK WHEN THEY
ARE COLLECTING HONEY.
Upon the approach Of bee to any
flower it flies around the calyx almost
always before alighting upon the flow
er itself. This is a cursory examina-
tion, and with it's antennae outstretch-
ed and quivering it is evidently scent
ing the honey contained within.
Should this prove fruitful flower
and of the flavor required the bee settles
on the center of the stamen and clutch
ing it with its four front legs, steadiss
itself with its longer outstretched two
hindermost ones and withdraws the
nectar by its proboscis, the wings OF the
body assuming a vibratory motion the
while.
The bees proboscis is most impor-
tant instrument. 1t Is composed Of
about forty cartilaginous, rings, each OF
which is fringed with minute hairs,
having also small tuft of hair at its
extremity, where it is somewhat ser
rated. Its movement is like the trunk
of an elephant and is susceptible Of e1-
tension and contraction, bending and
twisting in ali directions. Thus, by
rolling it about, it searches out the
calyx, pistil and stamen of every flow
or and deposits its nectar upon the
tongue, whence it passes into the gullet
at the base.
The gullet, or first stomach, is the
honey bag. No digestion takes place
here. In shape it is like an oil flask
and when full contains about one grain.
1t is susceptible Of contraction and is
so arranged as to enable the insect to
disgorge it's contents into the cells Of
the hive.-Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.

An Ill-Bred Dinner Party.

When the Yeast was introduced, the
Bread was SO heavy it refused to rise.
The Yeast, being great swell, bowed
graciously and said, "You are ill,
Bread, and fear will always remain a
dough-head.
The Mutton was given to capers and
very saucy, and the Peas were SO fresh
that no one enjoyed them.
The most conspicuous vegetables
were Dead Beets and Cabbage Heads,
and there was ill-feeling among them
as the Vinegar was soured on fboth.-
Jealousy was rampant at the table,
but the great passion Of life had not
been crushed out because the Potato,
Turnip and Squash were mashed on
the same Colander.
Love-mahing was continuous in the
fruit dish-there were Dates made in
Africa and single Apples were turned
to Pairs. There would have been run
away matches among the melons but
for the Cantaloup. An Ear of Corn
was listening to the sweet advances of
a Peach when Chiropodist cut him
out. Eevery one called the Chicken
foul, but they gobbled the Turkey and
at the wild game did not Quail.
The evening was warm and the stern
host commanded the waiter to remove
that prancing Kid when he brought in
a little running Butter.
AS the hour for dessert drew near a
man who was notOriously crusty had
a pious feeling, and said he didn't wish
to mince matters. A cross-eyed guest
declared the pudding ''outer plumb" f"

FLEET IS TOSSED
But WEATHERS It
Big Fleet of BattIeships Rides
Gracefully Through the An
cry Waters Of Hampton
Roads.
ADMIRAL SPERRY HAS
LEFT FOR WASHINGTON
Will Retain His Command
Of the Great Fleet, Which
News Delights Both Officers
And Men.

Fort Monroe, Va, Feb. 25.-After be-
ing flooded in brilliant sunlight all
morning the American battleship fleet
was swept by another storm yesterday
afternoon. The big battleships and
cruisers did not suffer. but the steam
launches made decidedly heavy wealth
er of it.
Two sailors on launches were tossed
overheard, but both were rescued, A
launch belonging to the battleship
Rhode Island was partly wrecked. A
party Of women was aboard and when
the boat crashed into a side boom of
the rmo clad several tainted. The
launch drifted rapidly away from the
ship, the engine having caught a dead
center" in reversing. Another little
steamer was sent out. but the help
less launch had drifted more than a
half mile in the choppy sea before be-
ing rescued.
Sperry to Retain Command.
The water was the toughest known
in recent years in Hampton Roads.
Many tea and dinner parties planned
on board the various ships had to be
postponed. Shore boats did not at
tempt to make the battleship lines dur
ing the storm.
Rear-Admiral Sperry left for Wash
ing today. He goes to consult with the
navy department authorities as to the
further plans for the fleet. The offic-
ers were much gratified by the reports
from Washington today that Rear Ad-
miral Sperry would continue as com
mander in chief of the battleship fleet
until his retirement in September.

and men to visit that city on Satur-
day vas accepted. One hundred and
