The appalling death-rate from kid

fact that the little kidney troubles are

kidney complaint.

CURIOsITIEs OF SMELL

No substance that refuses TO dissolve
in water has an odor 1t is the actual
substance itself. floating in particles in
the air, that appeals to the nose, and
not simply vibration of the air. as in
case of light and sound. The damper
a thing is the more powerful the odor
1t gives of. pleasant proof of the
fact can be had by walking in a gar
den after rain. There is no end to the
curiosities of smell. 1t is, for instance,
the vapor of a liquid that smells. and
not the liquid in the mass itself. If
eau de cologne be poured into the nos
tri1 the nose refuses TO recognize any
odor there at all.-London Globe

The rush to the Round Lake Country

the question of Wisconsin climate. The
government reports have dtssipated the
"cold weather" bugaboo by establishing
the fact that the Wisconsin winters are
mild. There is only degrees difference
between St. Paul and Leavenworth

in the United States is shown by these

Telephone Tangle.

The telephone tangle" as it Is known
In Crown Point, has not yet been salts
factcrily settled TO the parties con-
cerned as yet, the Northwestern people
falling to get their much wanted con-
cessions IN the way of extended fran

Crown Point company's exchange by
the Northwestern people has not been
decided on and will probably be
shelved until a quarterly meeting OF
the directors of the concern at a near
future date. Meanwhile the company

of its line into Crown Point as desig-
mated by the franchise, and 1t is said
will install its thirty phones at the

Settlement of Britain.

1t Is quite generally held by students
of the ethnic migrations across Eu-
rope that the Irish are of race older
than the British, but that they settled
in Britain first and then moved on to
Ireland under the impulse of later
swarms behind them. The settlement
of Scotland is similarly explained as
crowding of the same race to the
northwaTd, upon which was later over
laid backward migration from the
north of Ireland to the nearest point
of Sc otland.
