To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out Of the blood tho
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized SO it will no longer be q
source Of irritation to the bladder, and,
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause Of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce: Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.

Masterpiece of Glass Work

In the British museum, in London, on exhi-
bition, is the Portland vase, the masterpiece
Of ancient glasswork. A chance discovery led
to the rescue of this magnificent from the
grave, where it had lain for hundreds Of years,
hidden and unknown. The vase was found
early in the seventeenth century by some Ia
borers, who, digging on hillock in the neigh
borhood of Rome, broke into small vault.
On further examination it revealed suite
of three sepulchral chambers. In the largest
room they found a finely sculptured sarcopha-
gus. which contained the beautiful vase. 1t
was full Of ashes, but it bore no inscription as
to the remains 1t held, nor has the mystery
ever been solved which shrouds it's origin.
The vase deposited in the Barberini pal
ace where 1t remained until ITO, when the rep
resentative of the Barberini family, Roman
princess, was forced to part with it to pay her
gambling debts The vase changed hands
twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess Of
Portland, but with such secrecy that her own
family was not aware of the transaction until
after her death.
At the sale of the duchess of Portland's COL
lection it was purchased by her son, the third
duke OF Portland, for the sum of $5,145, and it
was deposited in the museum by his successor.
The vase was wantonly smashed in pieces by
a drunken visitor, but the fragments were
however, joined together, but the bottom, with
its mysterious figure in Phrygian cap, was not
replaced.
The material of this vase was long almost

draw roses from their friends now and then.
The other afternoon one of her rosy friends
pinned q bright red one on her and she sal
lied forth into the street to make other wom-

felt tug at the shoulder and turned to see
strange woman.
"Where'd you git that rose?" asked the
stranger generously.
"A friend of mine gave it to me-" was
the answer, produced with some chill.

were in somewhat Of hurry and tried
to get the mules out of the water with

0OOOOO. IL tQdL Is I'LL the expense, 1t Is
cheap. The late Gen. Francis A. Walker,
who was a census authority greater than
any other, living or dead, once wrote that
1.-The people of the United States can we'll
afford to pay for the very best census
they can get" He penned this remark
In connection with frank confession of
his own shortsightedness in underesti-
mating the cost Of the tenth census
It's the old story: When you are i'll
get the hest doctor you can afford
The comparative cneapness with which
the thirteenth census has been taken was
largely due to Director E. Dana Durand's eco
nomical methods, to the introduction of semi-au-
tomato electrical card-punching tabulating
and sorting machines and to the inheritance
OF wisdom from the experience gained by the
permanent census bureau. During the term of
the latter the methods of inquiry, tabulation and
compilation have been greatly improved both
in accuracy and In economy. Millions will be
saved.
Mr.. Durand is responsible for many of the
new methods to increase statistical accuracy
at every step of the census taking and to de-
crease the per capita cost of the enumeration.
The card-punching, tabulating, and sorting ma
chinery is the invention of a census mechani-
cal expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle
Sam. The machines novel in plan and de-
sign, are of greater speed and efficiency than
those they superseded, and can be built and
operated at large saving Of money as COM
pared with previous expenditures for this pur-
pose.
Other money-saving features are the elimi-
nation of the vitalstatstcs inquiry from the
work of the decennial census, as it belongs to
the permanent branch of the United States
census; the reduction in the number Of sched-
ules. the pieceprice method OF paying for ma
chine work, the omission of the hand house
hold and neighborhood industries from the
manufactures branch of the census, and the
reduction of the size and number of copies of
the final report.
Congress limited the thirteenth census to
four general subjects-population, agriculture,
manufacturers and mines and Quarries. The d.
rector is authorized to determine the form and
subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry as to
population relates to the date April Is, 1910;
that as to agriculture concerns the farm opera
ticns during 1909 and calls for an inventory Of
farm equipment April Is, 1910; that relative to
manufactures and quarries is for 1909
The enumeration carried only the popula-
ton and agriculture schedules April Is, 1910
Special agents were sent out with the sched-
ules for the manufactures, mines and quarries
data. There were fully $4,000 enumerators, Of
whom about $4,000 carried both the population
and agriculture schedules, as it is estimated
that there fully 100000 separate
farms in America, with farmers numbering
we'll up into score of millions. In 1910 there
were many more billions of dollars of fixed
capital invested in agriculture than there were
in manufactures, strange it may seem. And
the farmer is getting better off all the time;

Water Under Deserts.

Some of the most curious phenomena
of the world are the underground wa
fer supplies beneath deserts In the
Rajputana deserts water is held in
vast quantities in sandstone beds I'M
der the scorched surface and is drawn
up from wells sunk into the strata.
Bikaner raises its walls in the midst
of a weary. almost rainless waste of
sand and depends on these hidden els
terms for it's very existence. Whence
it comes. where is the outfall and what
quantity runs under the baked sand
remain a mystery. In one well at
Bikaner it has been ascertained that
the water supply is equal to 10000 gal
Ions an hour. which is held to point TO
the conclusion that there is an enor-
nous subterranean flow and that the
snow fed rivers of the Himalayas must
be the source. People in Bikaner say
that pieces of wood dropped into one
we'll have come up Ia another. The
idea of an underground river opens up
q wide range of possibilities to the in-
gination.-Times of India.
