KEEP The KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving and Some
Americas People Know How to
Save 1t.

Many Americas people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sibIe for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is an
Americas citizens recommendation:
Mrs. Essie Query, 524 Lamar st Il,
Americas, Ga, says: "Our little
daughter complained great deal Of
pain and weakness through her back
and kidneys. When some one advised
trial of Doan's Kidney Pills, l began
giving this remedy to the child. 1t did
her a great amount of good, strength
ening her kidneys and helping her 50
much that she is now an altogether
different girl. do not hesitate to say
that Doan's Kidney Pills are good
kidney medicine, and l strongly rec
ommend them to all persons having
kidney complaint"

MAN FALLS five
STORIES UNHURT.- hoy
dies FROM PIN SCRATCH

Atlanta, Sept 27.-On the same day
that Fred Walters fell five stories from
an Atlanta skyscraper and picked hi'n-
self up unhurt, save for bruises, Eu-
gene Leineweber died from a tiny
scratch, caused by nail in his shoe
and J T. Murphey has been blindei
perhaps for life, by an ordinary blow
from a fist.
The combination of strange circum-
stances is in no way related, save that
by all the laws of natural consequence
Walters should be dead and the other
scarcely hurt at all.
The Leineweber boy died of blood
poisoning, while Mr. Murphey, with one
eye completely gone and the other in
danger, lies in local hospital. Muir
phey was former manager of local
ice company, and was struck in the
course of a fight in a near-beer saloon
by Harry O'Donnell, who, it is said, had
come to Atlanta to replace Murphey IS
manager. A warrant is out for ODon-
lelrs arrest. -.

"Why I Attend Church.

The following very interesting artl-
Gle upon the timely topic, why I At
tend Church, is from the pen of Hoa.
Claude Weaver, member of congress
from Oklahoma, and will be read with
interest by the people of Americas this
Sabbath morning:
1t is sweet on a summers morning,
when the air is aquiver with the love
songs of the birds and fragrant with
the odor of roses blown to hear the
music of the churchgoing bells, an in
vitation to the world-wearied to enter
Gods temple and find peace, because
the instinct of worship is in the hea It
of man and the church is the temple
of the living God.
go to church because l find peace
there that peace which DeQuincy de-
scribed as a resting from human la
bors, a Sabbath of repose, a respite
granted from the secret burdens Of the
heart, as if the tumult and fever and
strife were suspended; as if there
brooded over me a dove-like and hal
cyon calm.
1 go to church because love the
music that l hear there, the mighty
roll of the great organ mingled with
the marvellous symphonies of that di-
vine stringed instrument, the human
voice, untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.
l go to church because l delight to
aar the teachings of the preacher
whose soul is dedicated to God, whose
@eld is as wide as Gods universe,
whose theme is the destiny of man, AMI
whose words are the oracles of Fat.
Marvellous is the spell of the preache'
to whom God has given genius and
conservation and the power of illustr t
ton drawn from the old sacred, I'M
mortal Book, and from the miracles OF
nature, no less revealed in the Grim
son-tipped flower turned up by the
plowshare Of Robert Burns upon the
soil of Ayr than in the long reaches o.
the star-girt skies.
go to church because "the way e
dark and am far from home and be-
cause the church is the polar star 10

ministers not only to the spiritual, but

ers.
l go to church because in that atmos-
phere vice and crime wither and die.
| go to church because | hear the
teachings of the philosophy of Jesus,
the incompatible man; and if you say
His teaching is philosophy and not re-
ligion, and that He was a man and
not a god, then the philosophy of that
man has redeemed the world from say
agery and blessed mankind with Chris
tian civilization. and, to my mind, it is
thing worth while to hear.
go to church because l find there
consolation and hope; because I see
there the dawn and not the sunset; and
it is better for man, if the hope is
ibaseless and the vision but an elusive
phantom, to cherish dream so glor-

Couldn,t Be Much Linhtnr.

At a mock parliament held in Bris- tol the honorable member for Stran- raer" asked the right honorable the president of the board of trade" (re- ferring to the merchant shipping act. 1894, prevention of collisions) ''wheth- CT lighterman, having two light light CTS in tow, would be required to light lighter light on the lighter lighter, so that the lighter the lighter the lighter the lightT" The president replied. Obviously the answer is in the mega tive, since the lighter lighter being the
 lighter and the use of the compara- tive lighter denoting that the lighter is already light the lighter of the lights would not be required to light a lighter light on the lighter lighter. since the lighter lighter is lighter than the light nghter."-Strand Magazine.

Nickel In Soapmakiuo.

It will probably be news to the av- craze ablutionist that the metal nickel is used in making his soap. And fur ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn that although the nickel, finely ground. is mixed with the other soap ingredi- ents, the finished product contains none of 1t. This is so because the nickel acts as what the chemists call A cata- lyst-that it, its presence causes cer- tain desirable changes to occur, aI- though 1t takes no part In the chemical reaction. Offensive oils and those too thin for satisfactory use, when mixed with finely divided nickel and subjected to the action of a current of hydrogen. become deodorized and harder and suit able for the soap makers use. Cotton seed oil, for example, after the nickel hydrogen treatment, makes a satisfac- tory soap.-New York Post

Waiuht Dead and Alive.

It is a very popular idea that per son when dead weighs heavier than when living. One reason that a dead body is thought to be heavier than a living one is probably this: In carry ing a living person We have the center of gravity adapted by the person car ried to suit the convenience of the car rier and maintained in a position as far as possible to fall within the base of his body. Again, the elasticity of the structure of the body. especially the cartridges, though not in reality diminishing the weight, gives an ap- pearance of lightness, as we see in the beautiful movements of the stag. and this would seem to corroborate the notion that living creatures are lighter than dead ones. It has also been as- serted that the breath makes the living body lighter than the dead. But we need hardly say that a man when dead weighs no more than when living.

Wonoers of Victoria Falls.

Victoria falls Is in shape like a huge capital T-the falls represented by the top of the letter and the outlet by the stem. The water pours into great pool mile long and escapes by mar row outlet not more than 15o feet wide in places. The water pours into the pool with a roar that may be heard twenty-eight miles and stirs up a spray that causes constant rain to fall in its immediate territory. This spray is so great that 1t looks like cloud against the sky and may be seen before you heGr the roar of the falls. Yet the water from this great pool es- capes almost as quietly as water from an undisturbed lake. After the water escapes froq the great pool below the falls through the stem of the letter T it makes a turn at right angles and sweeps around like the capital letter U. Yet there Is no great disturbance in any part of the outlet from the falls. At Niagara the whirlpool rapids is one of the worlds wonders. Here the riv- CT few hundred feet below the falls seems to be navigable.-E. W. Howe's Monthly.

MilIet's Difficulties.

In order to keep warm he would work with his feet in big wooden shoes stuffed with straw. himself enveloped In n heavy horse cloth with a hole in the center, through which he put his head! In these pictures Mitlet had simply sought to express with all his might ene of the phases of mans unceasing combat with nature. But political" parties drew their conclusions. The -laboTv party declared that these pictures pro tested against the misery of the labor CT, while official critics said that the artist sought to set class against class At this time Mlllet willingly painted a signboard for q Parisian tradesman- But then he painted it so we'll in tho end 1t figured in an exhibition of bis works in the School of Fine Arts.

Julian Grande, who recently return ed to England from Bible lands, has had some interesting things to say about Damascus. The pride of the district lies still in its rivers, Abana and Pharpsr. but this does not hinder the citizens from polluting them with the refuse of the streets. making the water quite undrinkable in summer. Water is brought from a distance and sold in tke streets at about a farthing a quart, and to buy a cupful of cold water and give it to ''one of those lit- tie ones" is a typical act of eastern charity.

The End of the Earth.

The ancient Persians believed in the renovation of the earth. A comet In the course of its revolutions will strike the earth and set it on fire. Rivers of molten metals will float down the mountains and deluge the valleys. All men must pass through these streams. The good will find them like baths of milk. The evil will find them like torrents of lava, but they will be puri- fled thereby and finally will join the good upon the new earth and sing praises to the eternal source of all. This belief was held also among the American Indians and the Hindus. The Egyptians believed that the earth would be destroyed by fire and water. The Chaldeans said that when all the planets met in the sign of Capricorn the earth would be overwhelmed with a deluge of water, and whenever they all met in Cancer 1t would be con- sumed by fire.

seIsnium In Time Recording.

An ingenious application of the pe- culiar property of selenium of varying its electric resistance with change of illumination has been made in Heidel7 berg in the electric transmission of pendulum beats to a distance for re- cording time and comparing clocks. For a long time the beats were cleo trically transmitted through contacts made by the pendulum itself. This method introduced Irregularities of consequence, where hundredths of g second are taken into account, as in astronomical observations The Hei- delberg method causes ths svtn9ing pendulum, just as it touches it's lowest point, to reflect a beam of light upon a selenium cell, which transmits the message without physical contact with the pendulum.-New York Tribune.

Sheets In Scotland.

The custom of sleeping in one large sheet, doubled at the foot, seems to have been peculiar to Scotland and to have made special impression on more than one English traveller. Fynes Moryson, writing in 1898, says, "They used but one sheet, open at the sides and top, but closed at the feet and so doubled" and John Ray, the natural ist. who visited Scotland about 1862, remarked that "it is the manner in some places there to lay on but one sheet as large as two, turned up from the feet upward" The practice, im- agine, was continued until recent times, and I have, when & boy, slept in a sheet of the kind. Such pieces of linen were termed sheets" par excel lence. the single coverings which are now used being called 'half sheets."- London Tatler.
