WebsteTs Worthless Area.

Daniel Webster was surely a great
orator when he uttered the peroration
OF his reply to Hayne, and a great
statesman when he formulated the
Ashburton treaty, but he failed as a
prophet when in the United States
senate he denounced a proposition to
establish a mail route from Indepen-
dence, Mo-, to the mouth of the Column
bia river. What" said the godlike
Daniel, do we want with this worth
less area? This region of savages and
wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting
sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cac-
tus and prairie dogs? To what use
could we ever hope to put these great
deserts, or those endless mountain
ranges, impenetrable and covered to
their very base with eternal snow?
What can we ever hope to do with the
western coast, a coast of 5000 miles,
rock bound, cheerless, uninviting and
not a harbor on it. Mr.. President, l
will never vote one cent from the pub
lie treasury to place the Pacific coast
one inch nearer to Boston than it now
is."-Exchange.

NO MORE BACKACHE
NO MORE MISERY

If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides or have any signs of
kidney or bladder trouble such as
rheumatic pains, puffy swellings
under the eyes or in the feet and
ankles, if you are nervous, tired and
rundown, or bothered with urinary
disorders, SOlyax will quickly and
surely relieve you of your misery.
Solvax is the most potent remedy
yet devised for Kidding the system of
uric acid and driving out all the
poisonous impurities which cause
such troubles. 1t neutralizes, dis
solves and makes the kidneys sift out
all the uric acid and poisOns left by
the blood, and renders the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, vigorous
and healthy.
W. W. Albers, the popular druggist,
says that no medicine ought TO be
paid for unless it does the user some
good; he therefore sells SOlvax under a
positive guarantee to quickly relieve
the worst cases of kidney trouble or
refund the money. Try Solvax today
and if you cannot see and feel de-
cided change for the better just go to
w. ". Albers, and tell him you want
your money back and he will return
it without question. This is the
strongest argument that can be
offered in behalf of any medicine.

Among the long established beliefs
which have in recent years been sadly
disturbed is that of the deadly charac-
ter of the upas tree The eXhalations
of this tree were held to be so deadly
that no animal life could survive with
in 100 feet of it. DR.. j. d. Gimlette. an
Englishman, who has lived among the
Malays for eighteen years, cites a story
that when the poison from this tree is
wanted by Malay witch doctor TWEEN
ty condemned criminals are sent for it.
Usually only one or two return alive.
and these are pardOned. He says that
as a matter of fact the deadly upaS"
is largely fake; that the tree may be
chopped down in safety by any one
with a strong arm and a keen ak. The
Malay smears his creeSe or arrow,
says the doctor, with the inspiSSated
juice of the tree, and if the wound
is deep enough the poison Produces a
toxic effect on the heart similar to that
produced by digitalis or by strOphan-
thus, a climbing vine of West Africa,
which yields an arrow poison which
acts directly on the muscles of the
heart

The great temple of Zeus Olympus
at Olympia, Greece. was 354 feet long
and III wide. The columns of this IA

and six and a half feet in diameter and
are the largest which now remain of

of the wonderful columns are still
standing and are among the most i'm

MaIav Weapons.

The national Malay weapon, the
creese, is said to have been invented
by a Javanese monarch of the four
teenth century. Its varieties are said
to exceed a hundred, and there are in
Javanese no fewer than fifty names
for them. 1t varies in size from the
two foot wavy blade of Sulu down to
a mere toothpick. But the popularity
is that the weapon is never ground, but
kept rough and sawlike in edge by
securing with lime juice or the juice
of an unripe pineapple, sometimes
mixed with arsenic, and it is on this
account that creese wounds are so dan
gerOus. Old specimens are so eaten
away by this practice that the blade
seems formed from a bunch of wires
roughly welded up. Such creeses are
highly valued. and some of the ancient
ones, heirlooms of chiefs, with gro
tesquely carved and inlaid hits and
sheathS, are almost unpurchasable.

katXdids.

The deep green protective color of
katydids makes it difficult to locate
them on the foliage. We hear the
earth full of rasping noises of katydids
at night, but when the sun comes up
and chases the last bit of darkness off
the face of the earth the noise of the
katydids ceases. When we go out to
observe some of the noisy creatures
we become disguised with the futile
attempt. The trouble is we are likely
to have a dozen katydids under our
eyes and not distinguish their forms
from the deep green leaves. Katydids
belong to the grasshOpper family. They
sometimes make a noise in daytime.
but this is rather weak and very diff
ferent one compared to the noise made
at night. 1t makes the noise, katy
did," by rubbing the overlapping wing
covers against each other. This noise
can be made even with the wings of
dead katydid.-Our Dumb Animals.

The great industry Of Venice is that
of meeting the demands of tourists.
The movements of the foreigner, as
they are skillfully guided and directed
by a host of competent experts, are not
difficult to forecast. 1t is known that
if the foreigner arrives at the railroad
station he will take a gOndola to his
hotel. He may travel in the ferrybOat
or on foot all the resi- of the time, to
save money, but when he arrives he
will take a gondola. so that he may
casually mention in writing home that
he stepped directly from the train into
a luxurious gondOla. Knowing this
popularity, the municipality of Venice
keeps tab on the gondola traffic from
the railroad station as sort of gauge
of osperity.-ArgOnaut.

LETTER FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Ill

CHICAGO, Ill.
My Dear Sec'y Of Sunshine Club:
Thanks for the PILOT and your invi-
tation.
- Yes, here 1 am part of this hurry
burly city life, where each person is
so intent on his own affairs that his
indifference TO those of his neighbors
seems selfshness instead of that
economy of time and purpose which
must be employed in its proper place.
All have duties; all are fulfilling
some mission in life while "they also
serve who stand and wait" as Long
fellow sang.
1t is strange what vistaS of life or
surroundings we get according to the
tranquil, or furried outlook.
Several years ago, l lived in this
neighborhood and never noticed what
is now the chief pleasure of the view
from my window. Have you never
delighted in certain foliage the out
lines of tree or the shadow and sun
shine of street? Surely you have in
that most beautiful of towns, Wau-
sau, where if one chooses to climb
new vistas can be discovered and en-
jOyed My vis-a-vis is an edifce
which blesses my vision with the dig
nifty of its architecture and its sug-
gestion of oriental temples. AT dawn
l raise my curtains that l may see its
very top, and watch the sun as it
comes over the church, flor it is a
house of Cod and at night, take
care never to lose the moonlight
when it is due.
Next door to it, the house which
has been its rectory, has been turned
into Community Club" the rector
preferring this and an apartment op-
pOsite.
From the second story windows,
hangs 12-foot board, its opening
words in bold RED letters invites the
public to become members.
