HUNTING WITH LIGHTED CRABS

A group of clubmen, seated about an odorous cedar fire, talked of hunt ing.
 "Once I hunted with lighted crabs,' said an ex-consul. ''It was in the desolate region of France called La .Vendee. There is no hunt ing there but seagulls, which the French adore to shoot, and rabbits It was to get the rabbits that we used the crabs. We caught some dozens of small, lively fellows, fast ened on their backs lighted candles and showed them down into the rab- bit holes. The rabbits, scared tc death by those strange moving lights, rushed forth frantically- forth into the very muzzles of oul guns.
 ''This sounds rather frisky, per haps, but it is a Vendean custom as widespread as coon hunting in tht south."

GRAFT IN REALM OF SULTAN
Words of Warning for Americans Who May Be Thinking of Investing
 Money There.

Those who have been reading the reports of our consuls in Turkey concerning the chances for American capital and enterprise in that coun- try under the new regime would bet ter glance at the published reports of Sir William Willcocks, the Eng fish engineer who is being employed at present to do for Turkey what he did for Egypt in the matter of irri- gation and water supply. Sir Will liam warns capitalists and contract ors against the extraordinary amount of graft and corruption which is to be found in the provinces among all the minor local authorities. Many of the old restrictions have been re- moved, but the Turk has not vet rid himself of that wonderful habit of looking at his own pocket twice be- fore he thinks of honesty. Sir Will liam Willcocks is the engineer who built the Assuan dam and had charge of public works in India and Egypt for respective periods.

NO SAND IN SAND PAPER.

'TThere is no sand in sand paper" said the manufacturer. 'EIt is pow dered glass that does the business That's where the broken bottles go to-"
 He nodded toward an Everest of broken bottles in the yard.
 'We powder the glass into half a dozen grades" he said. "We coat our paper with an even layer of hot glue. Then, without loss of time, we spread on the glass powder. Fi- nally we run wooden roller lightly over the sheets to give them good surface.
 'When, in the past, they made sand paper of sand, it wouldn't do a quarter of the work that glass paper does."

SKATES MANY CENTURIES OLD
Proof That the Pastime Was Known at Least Three Thousand
 Years Ago.

The English chronicler has re- corded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air; but the origin of skating is far more ancient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced>verses upon the polished mirror but also he cut the dear name of Ingebord.
 Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion att tribute to a period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and per- forated to attach to the sandal. Sim liar skates have been found at Moor fields, in Finsbury, Eng, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree.
 These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to con- clude that the European ice area Ill prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to inland and from Norway to Hungary.

HAS NO RECORD OF DIVORCE
Proud Boast of Woman Pastor Who Has United Large Number of
 Loving Couples.

Is the woman parson panacea for the divorce evil? Rev. Anna Shaw thinks she is and bases her conclu- sions on 30 years experience in marrying couples, not one of whom have sought to have their matri- monial bonds set aside.
 On Cape Cod, where the we'll known suffrage orator began life as a Methodist minister, she was ex- tremely popular with young couples.
 "It used to be quite the fashion for couples to come from nearby settlements to be married by the woman parson," said Miss Shaw, ''and it is a matter of great delight to me that these marriages have turned out so well.
 ''I attribute the large number of successful marriages which have fallen to my share as minister to the fact that any man who is broad minded enough to be married by woman minister thinks sufficiently we'll of our sex to make a good hus- band, one who will have respect for his wife and consider her entitled to an equal share in the government of the household"

There was five feet of snow on the level, where the hurricane did not blow it away into the solid drifts that made travelling by any method well-nigh impossible.
 The only way to get around witt any degree of ease or comfort was or snowshoes, and as many people II Phillips own these articles, so neces' sary on a day like this, they were 1T pretty general use by those who were obliged to be out.-Bangor Commer cial,

Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood, But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all uric aicd from the blood. Its pres ence there shows the kidneys are inactive.
 Don't daily with "uric acid sol vents" You might go on till dooms- day with them but until you cure the kidneys you will never get we'll. Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Here IS Con- way testimony to prove it:
 ]. w. Firestone, farmer, living on R. F. D. No. Conway, Ark, says: I feel more than grateful for the benefit I received from Doan's Kidney Pills. For eight years I was victim of kidney trouble and rheumatism. The pains in my back were intense and I could not sop without enduring agony. 1 felt tired all the time and had little energy to take ny work of any kind. The various remedies l I used had little effect upon me and I began to look upon my case as hopeless one. Someone sug- gested Doan's Cidney Pills and l immediately obtained box at Whites drug store. began taking them according to directions, with the result l was soon cured.

A SENSIBLE PROHIBITION BILL
 AT LAST.

After frittering away almost three-fourths of the session ot the legislature with a score of prohibit tion bills, some foolish, some per nicious and none i'll accord with the demand of the people, there has at last been introduced in the senate bill which, if framed as reported in the Little Rock papers, is sure to meet with popular ap- proval and which ought to be passed.
 This bill, which was introduced by Senators Mckenzie and Hen- derson, simply provides that a special election shall be held on July 2S of this year for the purpose of voting upon the question of state wide prohibition, and that if majority of the votes cast at this election shall be in favor of prohi- bition, no license shall be issued in any county for the sale of liquor.
 The proposed measure has many points in its favor. In the first place, it is simple. The present local option laws are we'll under stood. They have been passed upon time after time by the su- preme court. This bill extends the local option laws so that the state and not the county is the unit.
 The bill contains no such loop holes for the sale of liquor as the pernicious Gam bill, which came perilously near enactment. The laws now in force simply forbid the sale of liquor without license. If the McKenzie-H Henderson bill be- comes law and the people ratify it at the polls it will still be uulaw- full to sell liquor without license and it will be beyond the power of any authority to grant such license.
 Another commendable feature is the provision for submission to the people. No prohibition law can be enforced without the backing of public sentiment. In view of the plank in the democratic platform demanding submission of the ques- ton to the voters, 9 statutory pro- hibition bill would have lacked the force of public sentiment, especially in the only communities to which it would apply, those which now license the sale of liquor.
