DANGEROUS I Neglect of the First Warning Symptoms is the Prime Cause ofso Many Deaths from the Dreaded Brlghts Disease a i i I It is Easily Curable in the Early StagesI I I Kidney diseased arc so destructive to i human life because they do not manifest I alarming symptoms until the constitution is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted Then too often the remedies employed by many physi clans are of indifferent or doubtful value and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease The wisest course is to applC reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first appearance of the symptoms A 1 little uneasiness in the small of the back I digestive troubles bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs arc matters small moment in the estimation of strong men and women yet they have a serious meaning They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help which must be forthcoming at once to prevent serious perhaps fatal consequences A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring 1 the weakened organs to health AnJ investment of one dollar in a bottle ofI Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in thc early stage will S3chundreds of dollars in doctors bills besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of Icidney disease It is equally efficacious in severe or chronic I cases Physicians have used it as a last renort in cases that defied their best efforts with the most brilliant results and it has shown its superiority over the many socalled kidney cures now being loudly advertised in instances innumerable Accept no substitute Insist on having the

large prisms a jid cylinders Some of these cylinders are as much as two feet length and eight to ten inches in fllnmeter says Harpers Maga ine Being made of the same ma uiial as the tablets they are nec 5 aril heavy and cumbersome yet thy were in some ways more onvfiKcnt for reading since they vrre perforated longitudinally md placed on a spindle sons to re volve In some cases the writing runs from end to end of the cylin der which is then suspended horizontally In other cases the cylinder is upright i the columns run nin from top to bottom In the Matter case the book is nrually not i I true cylinder but a prism of six eight or ten sides each side in scribed with a separate column writing like the pnpe If a book These prisms and cylinders were onimonfy selected by the kings to contain rcronls of their deeds Thus the IHfsh contains prisms on which nro recorded the achievements of such famous con fjtierors as Sargon Sennacherib ami the Klnmite warrior Cyrus The last named cylinder has peculiar interest because it describes the taking of Babylon THE BIRDS OF NIGHT I 0 Various Species of Owl That Dwell in the Ground and Devour Rodonts Among the largest of the owl tribe

MAKING OF FINE LACES I Xearevt American Can Coma to the Imported Article Is a Cheap Imitation Fine laces said Chace to a Louisville Herald man constitute one of the most readily salable classes of merchandise which is imported to this country and it is a source of wonder that American genius has not devised someway in which to meet this demand with a domestic article which will serve the purpose and can be sold at something like the same price But it has not he continued We have had many machines invented but the nearest we can come is to manufacture a type of lace which is naturally cheap and does not in any sense approach its handmade foreign rival Of course American women could be taught in time to knit such fine fabrics as their sisters do in Ireland England France Germany and Spain but we in this country are too busy making money to waste lime in that way I have traveled all over Europe nnd the most interesting method of making lace over there that 1 came across was at Plauen Ger many It is woven on a kind of bolting cloth made of fine silk and after the pattern is completed i certain acid parts of which are kept secret is i applied and the bolting I cloth eaten away leaving only the lace They also have a way of altering the strength of the acid in order to give the lace a rich old colorTESTING TESTING CHRONOMETER Delicate Timepiece Kept on Ie for Month for Accurate Adjustment Each year the chronometers of the United States navy are sub jetted to test to determine their accuracy and to correct any irreg ularities This operation com minces in January and usually lasts until the middle of June nail during that time these delicate timepieces are kept on ice at the United States naval observatory It is i not for any fear that they will si oil that they are subjected tot 1 i frigid experience but it is nec essary for the purpose of accurate adjustment that they should all be maintained in a constant temperature The necessity of having a ships clocks all absolutely alike will be realized by the layman when he is reminded that nn error of four seconds in the chronometer means an error of a mile in calculating the vessels location The temperature varies at different times of the test from 50 to DO degrees and the losing or gaining qualities of the chronometer under these conditions are accurately kept Thus with a chart expressing in curves just what lie may expect from his I chronometer under different conditions of climate and with his thermometer nnd barometer close at hand a sailing master may calculate to a nicety the correct time and get his location to a certainty CHARACTER OF AN OATH Witness Thought It Was Like a Note with Which Some People Pay Debts One of the lawmakers from faraway Oregon where there is plenty of gold and silver tells of a wit n3 who gave his explanation of what constituted an oath relates the Washington Times Col Timmius a onehorse law yer had contracted a debt which it seemed he never intended to Huqidate Suit was instituted on the note but the colonel swore the note off However the plaintiff proved the debt and obtained judgment Not long after this tIll colonel was interested in another case in court and was crossques tioning one of the witnesses a gen tleman who had been interested in the colonels case in the suit on the noteDo Do you know the nature of an oath 1 asked the colonel I think I do answered the witness Then tell the judge and jury I what it is A oath is like a notea legal tender with which some people try to pay their debts Softest Language The Turkish language is said by scholars to be the softest and most musical of modern times be ing better adapted to the purpose of musical notation and recitation than even the Italian VESSELS WITH BAD NAMES ODM la tIM Irittah IUY7 TUI 1N Destined to Beet with 15 Disaster a If one ihould be BO bold at to characterize the superstition sailor as silly he would at once declare that there is sufficient reason for his belief and would proceed to prove that war vessel named after stinging and venomous things have been unlucky and that the country should not be so indifferent to the men who follow a life on the ocean wave as to organize a mosquito fleet says the Navy League Journal That Snake is regarded as an un fortunate name for a vessel is shown by the fact that two of that name have been lost one in 1781 nd the other in 1847 but no vessel bearing that name is known to exist now Serpent which is only a substitute name for Snake is I an unlucky one also for the one wrecked in 1892 was the fourth British war vessel of that name to meet the same fate Viper has been an unlucky name in the British navy The first one was wrecked in 1780 but the admiralty would not swerve and so kept the name on the list each vessel meeting its doom and the fourth was lost only recently The French navy has also been unlucky with vessels so named The Viper used in the British service after she became a prize from the French was lost in 1793 The second was lost a year later the third in 1797 and the fourth was recently lost in a collision off GuernseyThe The Cobra another British war vessel was lost recently at the same time as the Viper Among other vessels similarly named and which met fates other than in bat tie are the Rattlesnake in 1781 the Alligator in 1782 the Crocodile in 1784 the Adder in 1840 three Lizards two Dragons and one Basilisk All of these were of the British navy The list could be made larger by citing the records of other navies The Norsemen who were so fond of naming their vessels against the laws of superstition and using hid coils heads of dragons and reptiles on their high prows were lees un fortunate and these did not meet with frequent disasters Theydid have a belief however that it was unlucky and a sacrilege to select such a name as did Lord Dunraven for his first yacht to challenge for the Americas cup the Valkyrie And this belief was strengthened when she was sunk by the Satan ita The second challenger with the same name gave trouble and she was broken up after only a short existence BEAUTIES OF HOLY LAND The Son Is the Magician That TWTM the Dull Xarthto a Picture of Splendor In the Sunday Magazine of London Archdeacon Sinclair who was there recently gives a glowing description of Palestine I was struck he says by its special and wonderful beauty The sun is the magician of the Holy Land painting its plains and hills with the loveliest hues and light ing up all Wit magnificent splen dor at sunrise and sunset The country is far more mountainous than I had realized Then again there was great beauty in the fountains and streams pure and clear fromLr limestone country and sometimes flowing with great freedom Perhaps the crowning feature of beauty in the north of Palestine are the glorious snowclad slopes of Mount liermon which can be seen from the top of every paiSI I among the hills glittering and gleaming in the pure blue vault I The flowers particularly struck Dr Sinclair who finds it impossi ble to do justice to their beauty and brilliancy Mineral Oil in India The production of mineral oil iii i India hasmade remarkable strides during the last decade In 1897 the output amounted to only 19100 000 gallons whereas in 1902 it had increased to G07000 gallons Burniah in this period trebled its output from 18000000 to 54000 000 These
