The First Telegraph Line.

After the formal opening of the first
telegraph line built for commercial
purposes between Washington and
Baltimore Professor Morse and his as
sociates offered to sell the invention to
the United States government for
500, 900. but the price was considered
too high. The government had appro-
priated $4,000 toward the construction
of the Washington Baltimore line, but
after short period of operation the
postmaster general. to whom President
Polk had referred the matter. wrote,
Although the invention is an agent
vastly superior to any other devised by
the genius Of man. yet the operation
between Washington and Baltimore
has not satisfied me that under any
rate Of postage that can be adopted its
revenues can be made to cover its ex-
penditures."

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.
If you 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.
It never fails to restore them to health.
Rydale's Kidney Remedy viii 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. II
is the safest remedy if they are the cause.

Our Few Real Nesda.

As civilization and culture make peo-
pie more prosperous and more comfort
able they are prone to forget how few
and simple their real needs are. We
need sleep, but not much Of 1t, and
most Of us are asleep exactly when
we ought most Of all to be awake. We
need food, but it is not necessary that
food should be cunningly disguised
with a thousand devices to tickle the
faded and surfeited palate, for the
main trouble is that we eat too much
and not too little. We need clothes to
wear, but the one suit Of fur that lasts
certain animals all their lives is SO
beautiful that some men spend their
whole time in search OF 1t. We need
heaven and the sense OF a higher pow
er directing our lives and our desti-
MES, but we spend most Of our time
refuting and denying the possibility Of
anything bigger or better than we are.
We need the love Of friends. and
therefore it is the more strange that
we should spend our time not In inn
proving ourselves, but In decorating
our bodies, filing them with food and
hustling them about over the earth In
search Of ever freshing sensations

BulIetin.

Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive,
there is no trip like that the Great Lakes those
inland seas which form the border line between the
United States and Canada. And June is one of the
most charming months in the year in which to take
the trip.
For comfort the fine passenger steamships of
the Anchor ne have superiors. As well-appoint-
ed as the palatial ocean greyhounds which pillow the
Atlantic, their schedule allows sufficient time at all
stopping places to enable the traveller to see some
thing of the great lake cities and view in daylight
the most distinctive sights of the lakes and the
scenery which frames them
The trip through the Detroit River and through
Lake St Clair, with its great ship canal in the mid
die of the lake. thence through Lake Huron the
locking of the steamer through the great locks at the
Soo and the passage Of the Portage Entry lake and
canal, across the upper end of Michigan are novel
and interesting features.
vThe voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over
eleven hundred miles in the five days journey Leav-
ing Buffalo, the steamships Juniata, Tionesta and
Octorara, make stops at Erie, Cleveland, Detroit
Maclrnac Island, the $780, Marquette Houghton and
Hancock, and Duluth
The 1910 season opened on May ST. when the
Steamer Tionesta made her first sailing from Buffalo
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the service measures
up to the high standard set by the STANDARD Rail-
road of America.
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of
steamers rates of fare and other information is in
course of preparation, and may be obtained when
ready from any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent
who is also prepared to book passengers who may
desire to take this trip through the Great Lakes and
back.

Eating Away an island.

Strength is not thing usually con
nected with maidenhair fern, yet If It's
roots have not sufficient room they
will break the pot in which the plant
grows. Blades Of grass will force the
curbstones between which they spring
UP out of their place. and in single
night crop of small mushrooms have
lifted a large stone. Indeed, plants
have been known to break the hardest
rocks. The island Of Aldabra, to the
northwest Of Madagascar, is becoming
smaller and smaller through the action
of the mangroves that grow along the
foot of the cliffs. They eat their way
into the rock in all directions, and into
the gaps thus formed the waves force
their way. In time they will probably
reduce the island to pieces.-London

The stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salisary glands in the
mouth, the stomach, lower stomach, liver,
spleen, ETC., take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatiu, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con-
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask us about them. Eli

An Appalling Sound That Brings Ter
ror TO the Traveller.
Once in the Lion country you learn
the real reason why he is termed the
king of beasts. He looks it. Besides,
there is the terror be casts over all the
brute creation about him. And as for
terror, there is one feature Of life in
East Africa that the traveller never
forgets-the lions roaring. To me no
other sound In nature is more awe In
spring, more appalling, especially il
heard at really close range or among
hills, where the echo resounds In its
rolling double bass. Contrary to the
common idea, lions do not confine their
thunderous calls to the night only.
Frequently in open daylight one may
be startled by sudden outburst.
They are noisy lot too. At night l
have heard a band keep up the dire
chorus for hours at time, blood
curdling concert that brings to mind
every tale, rfanciful or true, Of their
daring, Of their fierce rapacity and
Night. 1t seems, still further, to, have
an added dreadfulness when one is "

with only its canvas between one and
the formidable musician.
Listen now. There goes one boom
ing in the distance, a roaring obligato
that breaks into from six to dozen
calls. From the first to the fourth the
volume usually increases; then it dies
down. At very close quarters one
hears the roar melt gradually into a
purr, itself diminishing to a growing,
Disconnected humble that lasts for
about half a minute, or there is the
other sound, equally menacing-a soft
and suggestive crunching noise, as
though the beast had already settled
to grewsome meal. The lions voice
