Naturs's Monument to Washington.

Naturo's Monument 70 Washington.
Among the many monuments to
Washington IL the ono which every
visitor to the Cape Verde islands Will
remember as one Of the most colossal
and marvellous freaks Of natural sculp-
ture' in existence. Along the farther
side of the harbor of San Vicente, the
principal town, rises 4 bold ridge OF
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest of
which forms an exact likeness Of our
immortal George, seemingly lying face
upward, as If in peaceful sleep. The
hero's large, bold features, the back
ward wave Of the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the firth Of the shirt
front are all reproduced on a gigantic
scale with wonderful exactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlined
against the deep blue Of the tropical
sky, is one Of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the
island.

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
ALWAYSLEAYE KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the cpl
demic of grip which has visited 80
many homes. The symptoms Of grip
this year are often very distressing
and leave the system in . run down
condition, particularly the kidneys,
which seem to suffer most, as almost
every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should
not be neglected, as these danger
signals often lead to dangerous kid
ney troubles. Druggists report q
large sale on DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root which so many people say soon
heals and strengthens the kidneys at
ter an attack of grip. Swamp-Root
is a great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy, and, being an herbal COM
pound, has q gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost i'm
mediately noticed by those who try
it. DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, offer to send a sample size bot
tie of Swamp-Root, on receipt OF ton
cents, to every sufferer who requests
it. A trial will convince any one who
may be in need of it. Regular size
bottles SO cts. and $1.00. For sale
at all druggists. Be sure to mention
this paper.-Adv.

Thirty years ago Alexander Schmidt
was dean Of the university at Dorpat,
in the Russian province Of Livonia.

called him because of his researches
concerning the circulation Of the blood,
was noted for the severity Of his dis
cipline An amusing incident is told
Of him by an army chaplain in the
Zeitlng der 10. Armee: e....- +.
A certain theological student once
wanted to get leave from the UNIVERSE
ty to attend his sisters wedding. The
dean refused the necessary permission
on the ground that the reason was too
trivial. The student was greatly Of
Tended both because he wanted to go
to the wedding and because he sus-
pected that DR.. Schmidt had not be-
lieved that his excuse was q true one.
Accordingly he: was determined to get
some kind Of revenge. a.S.*. \. II. 4
It CHANGED that on the day after the
affair he was reading st. Paul's second
letter to Timothy when he suddenly
saw . very clever way to get satisfac-
ton. Laying down the Bible, he wrote
to the Dorpat newspaper and ordered
IN advertisement inserted In large
type that said simply. III Tim. ~,

Every reader of the paper, surprised
by that line, reached for his Bible and
looked up the verses. Imagine the

when they found that the passage was.
