Sure It Was His Wife.

Three o'clock was the very earliest the man could get up to the store, so his wife asked him to meet her then.
 T don't know in what department shall be at that time,' she said, ''blt just before I will telephone to the clerk at the information bureau near the main entrance. and if you will just step over and ask him he will tell you where I am."
 At two minutes past 3 the man sought information as to the where abouts of his wife.
 T have message" said the clerk. from a woman who said her husband would inquire for her about 3 o'clock. Maybe it is for you. She said to tell you that she has gone to Blanks store, over on Sixth avenue. to finish her shopping because the clerks in this store are impudent, the place is i'll ven tilated and she couldn't find anything she wanted here anyhow and never has been able to find anything here and this is positively the last time she will ever try to find anything here. Of course that might have been your wife, -.' .'.
 "Oh,> yes" said the man; that was her all right."-New York Sun.

CochineaI Insects.

Before many years cochineal scarlet will have become thing of history only, like the lTyrian purple of antiqui- ty. That is the conclusion of M. Leon Diguet, who has been studying the state of the cochineal industry in Mex leo. The first specimens of cochineal were taken to Europe by the Spanish adventurers in the sixteenth century. The Indians had cultivated the coccus cacti, from which the color is derived in pre- Columbian times. and after the Spanish conquest the industry devel- oped rapidly The city of Oaxaca was the center of the cochineal country in the days of Humboldt, but only few plantations of the nopal cactus, on which the insects are fed, now remain. The female insects only are used to form a dye, and. they are gathered by brushing the branches of the nopal as soon as they begin to lay their eggs. They are then desiccated in ovens or killed with boiling water.

Duel With Horsewhips.

A novel but brutal form of duel be- tween two carters took place at Baja, Hungary. Being both in love with the daughter of the farmer who employed them, they decided to fight for her with their heavy horsewhips, the girl agreeing to act as umpire and accept the winner In order to insure that there should be no running away, they first fastened themselves to two posts in the ground. The girl gave the sig nal to begin. and the two men, who were stripped to the waist, began to belabor each other with such fury that long bleeding welts soon cov- cred their faces, arms and bodies. Unable to bear the horrible sight, the girl ran away for help. When she came back with some of the neigh bors they found the two men lying on the ground covered with blood and exhausted. The duel was declared a draw.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Canaan Citizen
 Gives a Valuable Hint.

Gives Valuable Hint.
 Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only muscular weakness when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to .s
 Brights disease. The best remedy to use for ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the experience of resident of Canaan who has tested Doan's.
 s. Drum, s. Main St., Canaan, Conn, says: "I recommend Doan's Kidney Pills whenever l have the opportunity. My back and kidneys caused me great deal of trouble. The kidney secretions were irregular in passage, causing me much annoyance and I suffered from pains through my back and sides. Deans Kidney Pills, procured at Thur lough's Drug Store, drove away the pains and regulated the passages of the kidney secretions." ..

Many Injured Near Death After
 Manchester A Y) Disaster,

Twenty persons are dead, half dozen more lie at deaths door and seventy others crowd hospital wards from Canandaigua to Rochester, ac- cording to latest figures, as the result of the wreck of Lehigh Valley train No. 4, eastbound, behind two powerful locomotives on a trestle spanning Ca nandatgua outlet at Manchester, N. Y.
 ninety pound rail on the 400 foot bridge shattered in seventeen pieces and showing defects in manufacture, marked the weak spot, Investigators say, and explains the cause of the dis aster.
 So far, twenty-two of the twenty seven persons who met death among the twisted and splintered mass of wreckage fifty feet below the trestle have been identified. Four of them are at Rochester. The other twenty two lie in the Shortsville morgue in rows of rough pine boxes awaiting Identification or transportation for burial.
 Approximate lists of the injured place the total at s1xty-nine.
 Steps looking to the usual rigid in- vestigation have already been taken by the public service commission, cor oners and other officials, who have workers on the scene. .. -
 A staff of sixteen undertakers work ed all night embalming bodies and in removing, where possible, the scars made by the wreck.
 The place selected for a morgue was i'll adapted for this purpose. It was in the basement of a country furniture store and was about fifty feet long and twenty-five feet wide, the walls cluttered up with stock. In the ex- treme front small space was afford ed for the handling of the bodies. AS fast as they were brought in. they were taken one at time and placed side by side on wire cots, and as they soon filled the cellar in many cases two bodies were placed on one cot.
 Coroner Eiseline is holding the in- quest in Shortsville- He has issued subpoenaes for the train crew, railroad track inspectors, passengers and eye witnesses. .'-~
