Nature,s Monument to wa.hinoton

Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one 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 a bold ridge Of
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest Of
which forms an exact likeness of our
immortal George, seemingly lying face
upward, us If in a peaceful sleep. The
hero's large, bold features, the back
ward wave Of the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the frill 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

BACKAcHE is DIscoURAG1NG
But Not so Bad if You Know How
to Reach the Cause


Nothing more di%scouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Pierre people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
J.. A.. Hutchinson, 4th Il Sanborn
St, Pierre, says: "My back felt stiff
and bothered me at night. 1t also
ached in the morning. The kidney
secretions we're unnatural and too
frequent in passage, especially at
night which broke my rest. Doan's
Kidney Pills rid me of the pains and
lameness in my back and also re-
moved the bladder trouble" State
ment given Sept. 1910.

son said: II am glad to again public
~ recommend Doan's Kidney Pills

BURNING THE LEAVES.
A Foolish Waste Of What Might Be a
Valuable Fertilizer.

r1.n-- VdtAd9tS V0tkttt<CFs F. aHE.
Many tons of valuable fertilizer are
wasted every year through our practice
Of raking the fallen leaves from lawns
and parks into the street and burning
them. We destroy n Of the best Of
natures fertilizers. that on which she
relies for the renewal Of the vegetable
humus in the soil.
All natures protection is removed In
the interest of tidiness. Then we won
der why lawns must be so frequently
resodded and why grass seed won't
catch" The fallen leaves protect the
roots OF grass and shrubs from the
freezing and tt:wing Of winter and,
deposited In a corne Of the back yard
with q little earth thrown over them to
prevent their blowing away, in a year
or two are converted into what the
forester calls duff" an organic ma
terial which makes the loan that
grows the farmers best crops.
1t Is an excellent top dressing for the
lawn and enrichment for flowers and
shrubs and, mixed with a little ordinary
earth, a most desirable soil for filling
the window boxes and reporting plants,
something hard to get in town. 1t is
invaluable to the amateur gardener
who utillzss his back yard, and yet it is
Utmost invariably wasted. We pay
thousands Of dollars every year for
phosphates and nitrates and overlook
this valuable product of natures labor
atory.-Detroit Free Press.

whether Venus rotates on it's axis once
in twenty-four hours or once in 225

CHAMPION TREE FELLERs.
Beavers Are More Expert Than the
Best lumberjacks.

~ eNFSss s'W
Best lumberjacks.
The most expert lumberjack Is In
ferior to the beaver us a tree Teller.
He cuts down trees In the most scien-
tihc way. He can fell a tree so 1t will
fall toward the pond where he wishes
to construct his home, thus saving
himself unnecessary work.
After the trees are felled the con.
struction work begins. He works
chiefly by night, for he is a nocturnal
prowler. The is his lantern, the
quiet OF the night his inspiration, his
sharp teeth are his Ratchet and chisel,
and his little paws are his means of
conveyance, his spade. his hammer
and his trowel. His hard, fiat hairless
and scaly tail is a propeller when
swimming and a balance when he is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while gnawing down trees.
The beaver is a strict vegetarian,
and his diet. consists chiefly of banks,
tender shoots and water plants.
To flood low grounds the beavers
sometimes have to build a dam ex-
ceeding fifty feet in length. They
usually lay 1t out with the curve fac
ing upstream. The foundation is built
OF poles four or five feet long by an
inch or two thick. These they lay
crosswise, filling all crevices with mud.
The beaver digs up mud with his
fore feet, then holds 1t close to his
breast with his fore legs, swims to
where he has started his dam, and
having deposited it in its proper place
beats the mud down with his paws
not with his tail, as has been believed
