HINTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTING

1t is no small task even for a
good engineer to arrange the light
ing Of an ordinary six room house.
Of course. when lighting is being
considered and figured on, such lit
tie items as paint and wall paper
make great difference in the gen.
eral results. In general way it is
good rule to use light tints for
both paper and paint because they
reflect the light and consequently
it does not require so many lamps
or so much electricity to properly
light the house. Dark wall paper
absorbs the light and should be
avoided as it is impossible to get a
good lighting effect with dark tints.
In laying out the plans for the
following rooms it is to be under
stood that the walls and ceilings are
tinted a light yellow or light buff
and that the wood work is only a
shade or two darker.
Porch light, located directly
above the front door with switch in
vestibule. An eight candle power
lamp is sufficient.
Reception room, two ornamental
ceiling lamp fixtures for Tungsten
81 candle-power lamps; controlled
by button switch on the reception
room side of vest;bule hall, and al
so from the head of the stairs.
This arrangement is most conven-
lent.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake The Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering from
a lame,y weak or aching back they
think that it is only muscular
weakness; when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with
all the other SYMPTOMS of kidney
disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan' s
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills
which are caused by weak or dis
eased kidneys. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying
to permanent cures.
John McShane, Benson, MINI. !,
says: II was troubled with lum-
bago, caused by cold settling in
my kidneys. The pains in my
back were so severe that I suffer
ed acutely when STOPPING, my
back was weak and at times I
felt languid and tired. 7 also
had nervous headaches and was
in a run down condition. When
I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills, / procured a box and after

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Since our last letter we spent {
week at the Chautauqua Assembly al
Srreator, Ill. There are about TWEEN
ty Chautauquas in Illinois, two OF
which are in LaSalle county, namely
Streator and ottawa. This associa-
ton is a stock company, having over
thirty acres in their grounds, and one
OF the finest ampitheatres l have ever
visited. It is one hundred feet in d.
aneter, a complete circle, with nj
teen sides or sections, and is ninety
feet high in the center, with but one
central post, which is steel, as also
all OF the outside posts, and the nj
teen connections are each truss
supporting the circular roo, and
brace and rebrace, making strong
and safe metal structure, there being
nc wood in the building except the
roof sheeting.
The program was fine, and the ad-
dresses of a high order, conspicuous
among which was that OF ex-Gov. R.
B. Glenn, of North Carolina, who had
for his subject, "Our Country"
His address was well received and
in marked contrast to that OF Senator
Tillman, who had spoken at Ottawa
rot long since.
Two Hundred Tents.
This Chautauqua association has
near two hundred tents, of different
sizes, which are rented by the farm
ers, and citizens of small towns out

They had a "children's day" on Sat

were nothing more than a romp, or
Juvenile Fourth of July" The origi-
nal idea of Chautauqua was religious
instruction, and though since greatly
and prOfitably broadened, in their
scope. the religious feature must not
be neglected.

twelve hours, instead OF which we
woke at a point one hundred miles
outside and our train surrounded
with broad lakes and raging torrents,
lon ali sides and the track for miles
ahead covered with water. After con-
siderable delay and much telegraph
ling our train of eOur sleepers, three
coaches and three baggage and ex-

ming back to Bucklen, was turned
upon the c. B. & Q. railroad, thus
running us away from our point Of
destination at an angle of so degrees
TO an intersection with the Chicago
and Alton railroad at Louisiana, and
over it we reached Kansas City ION
Itwenty-four hours behind time, and
after a free ride of more than three
hundred miles in a Pullman, with full
dining car, through some of the finest
section of Missouri-taken good hui
moredly-with as jolly a company as
we ever met-we could not call it
great misfortune.
Many Difficulties.
One can scarcely realize the difft-
culties incurred by the railroads when
such a calamity comes to them. 1t
was said that all roads leading to
Kansas City from the east were com
PEELED to accept the courtesy of the
Chicago & Alton railroad, and that
seventeen trains from other lines
were following ours over the Chicago
& Alton. Leaving aKnsas City EOn
time but twenty FOUR hours late, We
found similar conditions. Taking a
Frisco train we we're sent over the
Kansas City Southern track, and al
ter all the necessary delays in pass
ing trains, we came to the Marie des
Ciegu River, we found stream
mile wide. reaching to the bottom Of
the crossties, and rushing in a raging
torrent under the main bridges and
the long trestle work that was pro-
vided for such emergencies. Our
train was about the last to pass over
this track, and since then the fine
steel bridge was swept from its
and large portions of the
track swept away.
Seldom in the history of this level
country has there been such destruc-
ton by floods, as within the past ten
days, and We deem ourselves happy TO
have gotten through in safety.
