His Jao Cure.

did you see that man who Just
came in and bought half a pound Of
chocolate caramels?" asked the girl
in the candy shop. well, he'll do
that every day for a long while. He
always takes them in a bag and puts
them in his coat pocket, where they
are handy to get at. Some day he
won't come in and then I'll know he
has started drinking again. You see,
he goes on periodical sprees. He told
me about it himself day when he
was just getting over one.
HE said he found candy to be the
best antidote in the world for liquor;
that as long as he ate plenty Of
candy he had no craving for alcohol.
But If he takes one drink it's all of,
and the attack has to run its course.
When he gets Strengthened out again
he goes back to the candy diet. I
wonder If there are many men like
him?"

A Bachelor Bishops Views.

The bishop of London, DR.. Ingram,
who visited America a year Or two
ago, and, despite the charms of Amer
Jean girls, is still a bachelor, recently
delivered an address in which he Of
fered these views:
"The best test whether a husband
loves his wife is his conduct toward
her ten years after they have been
married.
every husband and wife would be
better If they had a fortnight's holi-
day away from each other every year.
"The wife should be free for at
least a fortnight from the cares of the
house and children and she would re-
turn at the end Of that period to the
joys of her home with increased
strength.
mo home is complete without chill
dren. I fill mine with other peoples
children, having none of my own.
1T is SO easy to tell Tommy to run
along to Sunday school and to send
the missis to evening church while
you sit down with a paper and a pot
of beer. But, mind you, when the
time comes and the boy grows up he
will do exactly what his father did"

The Oldest Date.

The age Of pristine barbarism, or
of primitive man, seems to recede ever
further and further back, and what is
called the dawn of civilization grows
more and more remote. Hitherto it
has been supposed that the most an
Client civilization on earth of which
real records had been found could be
traced back to B. G. $500. This refers
to ancient Peru, and the culture of its
earliest known inhabitants. But the
Homfletic Review points out that tho
professor Of ancient history at the
University Of Berlin, DR.. Eduard
Meyer, has been studying afresh the
Egyptian calendars on the monument
in the Berlin museum. He has dis
covered that the date B. G.
4141 is frequently cited as that
in which the early Egyptian as
,tronomers first calculated their solar
year from the rising of the star Sirius.
This is by far the Oldest reliable date
in the history Of the human race.

HIS GOOD WORK AS SURGEON
Frank Daniels Own Story of How He
Restored Sick Passenger to
Health.

During a recent trip of 1.-THE Belle
of Brittany" in which Frank Daniels
appears, the members Of the company
were doing their best to while away
the slow hours of their Journey by re-
lating experiences of a humorous and
often improbable nature.
Mr.. Daniels, who always travels
with the company in the regular coach
provided for them, is credited with
telling the following: although I am
an actor, as everybody knows, I once
of1ciated as a surgeon. It was like
this: We were travelling through
Pennsylvania and a stranger hap
lpened to get in u car. AS we had
a large company that taxed its ca
pacity, we told him it was a private
car, and requested him to leave. He
was a sullen sort of a man and alb
solutely refused. Unfortunately, there
is a law in the keystone state that
protects just such persons, so we
could not compel him to move. Well,
we travelled some so miles, when the
stranger suddenly let out a shrek
and, clapping his hands to the lower
right side of his abdomen, gave us
what we thought was an imitation OF
one Of u prominent actresses in the
so-called Salome dance.
when we saw, however, that he
was really in pain the conductor was
called. He canvassed the train for g
physician, found one and brought him
in. The doctor examined the sufferer
and said: He has a bad case of ap
pendicitis and should be operated up
on at once, but unfortunately, I have
not the right instruments to open him
If l had l could easily remove the ap
pendix.' Then I stepped to the front
Pardon me- 1 said; 4 think I car
help you The doctor replied: I an
sure the man would appreciate any
thing you could do that would relieve
him Of PAIN So l told the patient
a side-splitting story, and the opera
ton was performed without further
trouble. When it came time to sew
him up I told him another story, anG
he laughed so heartily that he got
stitch in his side. I am very sorry
that my Carnegie medal has not ar
rived, so I can only trust that yol
will believe me-"

His Cats His Last THOUGHT.

Brought to a realization that he was
about to die and that his two cats,

This melancholy tragedy happened
IN Holland. fisherman who caught
a salt herring placed the fish 10 a tub
full Of salt water. Every day he took
out some of the salt water and re-
placed 1t with fresh. In d few days he
had the herring living In fresh water.
But. not content at stopping here. he
decided to try another plan. Every
day he took little water out of the
tub until none was left. and the her.
ring was still alive. The next course
was walking. In u month or so the
herring had developed feet and learn
ed to walk. and be accompanied his
master on his journeys. One day as
they were crossing over narrow
bridge the herring caught sight of the
water. "reminiscences of former days
flashed through his head. and he re-
solved to try the water. But while
still gazing at 1t he fell in. and before
his master could aid him he was

Over Seventy eight Miles an Hour Has

Interesting facts about waves were
given by DIR. Vaughan Cornish in one
OF his lectures, In the north Atlantic,
he said, waves had been measured. the
largest Of which was somewhat more
than forty feet high. with length
from crest to crest of $50 feet. 1t was
In the southern Indian ocean that
waves attained their fullest develop
ment. and they had been measured
there with length of $50 feet
In the Atlantic it had been found
that waves attained speed OF thirty
eight miles an hour in a wind Of about
forty-four miles an hour. Speaking OF
the swells In the waves that run free
" on the surface of the sea after the
wind has ceased, DR.. Cornish said that
during a storm in December, 1893, he
recorded breakers near Bournemouth
which moved at sixty1seven miles an
hour and had length from crest to
crest Of 1900 feet. In February, 1899,
he observed breakers on the same
shore which had speed In deep wa

why Kidney Disease Is Dangerous

Kidney disease is dangerous because it
comes on unwares and progresses to a
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
Ifyou begin to run down, feel badly,
have indigestion, inactive Liver, etc, you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale's Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kidneys.
1t never fails to restore them to health.
Rydale's Kidney Remedy will cure
Bright's Disease if taken before too much
of the Kidneys are destroyed The
Remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-health. 1t
is the safest remedy if they are the cause.

Khartum owes its existence to an
oriental form of treachery When
Khedive Mohammed Ali invaded the
Sudan In 1920 he marched triumph
antly to Shendi. where his troops were
entertained at banquet by the sub
missive natives. But while the khe-
dives high officials were seated at the
feast they shared the fate of the
viands and were themselves reduced
to funeral baked meats. Full of fury.
the army fell on Shendi and demol-
ished it. Marching south. the invaders
reached the junction Of the Blue Nile
and White Nile. With the conquer
or's instinct they recognized that the
strip Of land. with its few fishermen's
huts Of straw. formed ideal strategical
headquarters. so Khartum finally grew
into the most sensitive part of the
Sudan organism.
