lnrnAst Family on Record.

In the Harleian manuscript Nos. 78 and 9SO, ill the library of the British museum mention is made of the most extraordinary family that has ever been known in the worlds history. The parties were q Scotch weaver and his wife NOt wives), who were the father and mother of sixty-two chil- dren. The majority of the offspring of this prolific pair were bOys-exactly how many is not known, for the rec ord mentions the fact that forty-six of the male children lived to reach man. hoods estate and only four of the daughters lived to be grownup wom- en. Thirty-nine of the sons were still living in the year 163O, the majority of them then residing in and about Newcastle-on-Tyne It is recorded in one of the old histories of Newcastle that "a certyne gentleman of large es- taytes" rode thirty and three miles beyond the Tyne to prove this won- derful story" It is further related that Sir J. Bowers adopted ten of the sons and three other Handed gentle men" took ten each. The remaining members of the extraordinary family were brought up by the parents.

DANGER IN DELAY.

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
 for Stafford Springs People to Neg
 lect.
 The great danger of kidney troubles is that they get firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health is gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease follow in merciless succession. Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kid neys with the certain and safe remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured people right here in Stafford Springs.
 Mrs. Michael Oorcoran, living on Center street, Stafford Springs, Conn. {, says: "My nephew had kidney disease for a number of years, and al though he tried many different kinds of medicines, he obtained no relief. He complained a great deal of a dull. dragging pain in the small of his back, and it was impos sible for him to do any heavy lifting on this ao- count. The action of the kidney secretions was also very irregular, and when we saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised at Eaton's drug store we procured a box. My nephew had taken but few doses of this prepar- ation when he said he felt much bet ter.
 The pains grew less severe and the kidney action became normal. Doan's Kidney Pills did him more good than any medicine he ever took. y

Staae Villains.

Why is 1t that all stage villains have black hair and dark eyes? There is surely some reason for this and for the resultant association in the popu- lar mind of villainy and swarthiness Possibly it might be traced back to some bogy man of folklore in the cradle days of the race. But, whatever its genesis, the idea is deeply rooted in English stage literature that vil- lains always must have dark complex ions. A villain with yellow hair and blue or gray eyes, If introduced by some daring dramatic iconoclast, would be presumably hooted of the stage. If we look back over Chicagos criminal history we will find that the villains of real life seem to fly in the face of this immemorial melodramatic tradition. The city's murderers, the criminals who have been herded to prison and the men who have been hanged have had a strong numerical leaning to the blond type. That nine out of ten of the men who have danced on air at a ropes end in the Chicago jail had gray or blue eyes is a fact of common knowledge to jail employees. A visit to Joliet, Chester and Pontiac will convince the curious that Illinois penitentiaries are filled with gray and blue eyes.-Chlcago Inter Ocean.

AN ANEcDoTE OF KHAN.

How One Actress Won and Another
 Lost His Good Opinion.
 Kean possessed an inordinate love of praise even from his humblest wor- shipers. says the London Tatler. Dur ing his brilliant management of the Princess theater one of the ballet gfrg3 who sometimes was given a few lineb to speak and who knew her manageus failing used to haunt the winkS aid go into audible raptures over the e. dfan's acting.
 He was playing with great sue a pathetic part, and tears flowed wn the cheeks of the cunning girl. RhO eventually attracted personal nStice from the actor. Soon she found her self promoted to a superior position.
 Her advancement of course was no ticed by her companions. and to her greatest friend among them she told her secret. advising the girl to follow her example.
 Nothing loath. No. 2 appeared at the wings and almost howled with grief through Kean's chief scenes. when, to her amazement, he strode an grtly by her; then, pointing her out, exclaimed, "Who is that idiot?' She did not improve her position, for since the advice of her knowing friend the bill had been changed. and her man. ager was appearing in one of his most successful comic parts.

Mascaani,s Royal Critic.

Mascagni, the famous composer, was once asked to entertain the royal court in Rome. He did so and de- lighted his audience When he finished playing he started conversation with a little princess who had stood near the piano during the recital and had shown every sign of deep interest. As a matter of fact, she had been fn- structed by her mother to say, if any question should be asked, that Mas cagni was the greatest musician in Italy"
 The composer asked her which of the great living masters she liked best, and the proud mother turned toward the child to hear the pretty little speech which had been taught her. Instead of the compliment came the whitening remark:
 "There are no great masters living. They are all dead"
 The musician gave a little start and then said:
 -Four exceIlency. permit me to con gratulate you. You are the most truth fhl critic in Europe"

Beads.

Apropos of beads, etymologists tell us the word comes from the rosaries which from time immemorial have been used to keep count of prayers, for "biddan" is to pray in the old Anglo Saxon tongue, and "beadsman" Is one employed to pray for others. 'Be- odan," to proclaim, is kindred word and has its outcome in the bidding prayer" of our universities, when pious founders are remembered to the edifl- cation of graceless undergraduates and in the bidding" of an auction room, when one proclaims to what price one is willing to go. The tiny balls of wood or pearl or seeds or gems strung together for the purpose of counting prayers are used by Hindoo worship CTS of Buddha. by Greeks, by Pers1anS, by Roman Catholics. And from those prayer chaplets the word has passed to mean any pierced round ornament Modern Society
