ALL DONE OUT.
Veteran Joahua Heiler. of 706 South
Walnut street, Urbana. 111., says: "In
the fall of 1899. after taking Doan's
Kidney Pills I told
tbe readers of this
paper that they bad
relieved me of kid-
ney trouble, dis-
posed of lame
back with pain
across my loins and
beneath tbe shoul-
der blades. During
the Interval which
haa elapsed I have
had occasion to re-
sort to Doan's Kid-
ney Pills when I
noticed warnings
of an attack. On each and every oc-
casion the results obtained were Just
as satisfactory as when the pills were
first brought to my notice. I Just as
emphatically endorse the preparation
to-day as I did over two years ago."

King a Crack Shot
King Carlos of Portugal is general-
ly known to be a crack shot with the
revolver, but most people have forgot-
ten that he once won a prize at a
competition after shooting off a tie
with the best shots of this country
and England. This feat he performed
in 1886 at Wimbledon. England, his
American competitor being Mr. Wl-
nans. The Englishman was Mr. Elli-
cott. Carlos, then Duke of Braganza,
carried off the prize.

"My child was a very delicate baby.

My physician prescribed various rem-
edies, none of which helped at all. I
became discouraged and took the mat
ter Into my own hands, and tried Cutl-
cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment

fore the second week had passed tbe

lNvSNmQN,
Electric Motor Besta Steam.
Consideration of safety of tracks,
which has heretofore limited the pos-
sibilities of high speed with steam lo-
comotives, promises to be largely re-
moved as a factor In the development
of the electric locomotive. Only those
familiar with the development of the
passenger locomotive of the last ten
years can appreciate to the full to
what extent the counterbalance on the
mammoth drive wheels of the flyers
played havoc with even the best cou-
stiucted tracks. Now comes the
steady running eletcric locomotive,
with the uniform rotative effort of Its
motors and no counterbalance to
wreck the peace of mind of the
roadmaster. In tbe preliminary
tests of the most powerful loco-
motive In the world, Just turned
out from tbe electric shops in tbe
east, of a short stretch of track and
hauling eight Pullmans, the train fre-
quently exceeding sixty miles an hour.
8o perfect was the control of the mo-
torman over It In starting that a speed
of thirty miles an hour was reached in
one ftlmitc, and yet so steady was the
acceleration and so free from pound-
ing was the running that none of the
experienced ;.llroad men believed the
speeds to be as high as they actually
were. This machine, too, was not
built with an especial eye to high
speed, but with the Idea of keeping to
an ordinary passenger schedule.
While this locomotive Is to be thor-
oughly tried out this winter under
verylng conditions, the preliminary
tests demonstrate the ability of the
electric locomotive to handle a heavy
Pullman train on a good track in clear
weather much better than any steam
locomotive now running.
Seal for Telephone Transmitter.
The invention shown in the accom-
panying cut relates to certain new
and useful improvements in telephone
attachments, the primary object of
which is to provide means adapted to
be attached to a telephone receiver
for engagement with the telephone
transmitter whereby the latter may
be closed or scaled against sound un-
til the device is detached from tbe
transmitter.
It is frequently desired by those
using the telephone to converse with
others in the office relative to certain
matters, and oftentimes it is not de-
elred to have the person at the other
end of the line overhear the conversa-
tion carried on In the office. Under
these conditions the. person speaking
does not desire to return the receiver
♦o its hook, for the reason that the
line would then be cut off. Neither is
it desirable to allow the receiver to
hang dependent from its wires, and In
case it is desired to close the trans-
mitter It must be done by holding the
hand over the same or by some like
ir.convenlent means.
It is the purpose of this invention
to overcome these defects and provide
moans for closing the transmitter and
a'.so supporting the receiver while It
is detached from the hook.
This is brought about by the use of
a device somewhat hood-shaped, which
is secured to the receiver, and when
it is desired to seal the transmitter
against sound the hood referred to Is
placcd over the mouth of the trans-
mitter, and thus Is afforded a con-
venient resting place for the receiver
on such occasions as is alluded to
above.
N-Ray the Clairvoyant of Science.
Tbe scientific clairvoyant is tbe N-
ray, revealing the secrets of charac-
ter. Dr. S. Hooker has given the psy-
chical turn to N-ray research by an-
nouncing as the fruit of extensive In-
vestigations that he had confirmed the
theory of previous experimenters and
that the human body emits N-rays of
various hues from which the charac-
ter of the individual can be deter-
mined. Some eminent scientists ridi-
cule tbe idea, some adopt a tolerant
attitude, while the psychological fra-
ternity declared tbey had been aware
of the existence of these color charac-
teristics for years. Sir William Ram-
sey states he has never detected the
rays, but Intimates he is open to con-
viction. The skepticism that various
critics have expressed regarding tbe
N-rays has prompted M. llkindlot to
reply at some length. He emphatic-
ally affirms that he can perceive the
rays with the greatest certainty. He
considers It quite natural that persons
who cannot see the action of the rayi
on a phosphorescent screen should
doubt their presence; be recommends
them to lean the back and head
agninst a wall, and then to observe
tbe screen by holding It at a level be-
low that of the eyes, so that a plane
through the eyes and middle of the
screen makes an angle of 3U degrees
more with the horizon.

C. C. W.—Please publish a plan of a
small cottage having hall, parlor, liv-
ing room, two bedrooms and kitchen.
I should like a veranda at the front.
In the plan shown there Is only qpe
chimney, which Is between kitchen
and living room. There are folding
doors between parlor and living room
and the parlor can be warmed from

Plant Lice on Apple Trees.
F. 8. B —What Is the best treatment
for five year old apple trees that are
covered with a small green louse, ap-
parently the same as tbe cabbage
louse? Would you advise spraying or
painting this time of year? 2. Is a
burlap wrapping for the trees as a
protection against rabbits, safe? Or
is there a better plan for preventing
rabbits gnawing the bark.
The apple trees are evidently af-
fected with green apbis. While the
trees are dormant, or at this time of
the year they could be sprayed with
the lime-sulphur wash with good ef-
fect and if the aphlds are troublesome
when the trees begin to grow next
spring they should be sprayed with
kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap.
The aphids are seldom very trouble-
some on apple trees, except on nursery-
stock.
2. Burlap wrapping makes a safe
and fair protection against rabbits,
but Is not nearly as effective as mesh-
ed wire or wooden veneers wrapped
around the trees.

GOOD LOOKS AND CONCEIT.
Vanity Largely a Matter of Sense of
Humor.
The man's Apollo 'is generally
comely specimen of flesh and blood,
with a blooming cheek and bright eye,
who is a credit to his tailor. Women
admire a more rugged type, or k type
in which a tinge of asceticism is com-
bined with intense nervous strength;
or the picturesque may take their
fancy. Roughly, the good-looking are
vain or not, In proportion as they are
dowered with the saving salt of hu-
mor.
So with the women. The pretty
dolls may be vain; the nobler and | gutted, and one night when we noticed a testimonial of a woman who

Parrot Lost Voice.
8. R. T.—A parrot aged about six
years, lost its voice about a year ago
through water being repeatedly
thrown over it to quiet it. A couple
of month? ago it began to whistle
again and sometimes utters a mourn-
ful cry. It is seemingly in good
health and lively. Can you advise
treatment to induce It to talk again?
An experienced parrot raises de-
cides that the bird In question was
frightened Into silence by the treat-
ment it received. It is not a difficult
matter to terrify a bird of any kind
into silence. The parrot will have to
be very kindly treated, petted and
hutBored until It has entirely regained
tbe confidence of Its attendants. It
should In this way be gradually re-
stored to its former condition.
Chimney that Catches Fire.
L. A. B.—The chimney on my house
frequently catches fire. It is built In
the ordinary way of 2 4 by 1^4 bricks.
Is there any method of construction
which would be less liable to catch on
lire?
In the first place the flues of your
chimneys are too small, being only
4x12 inches. The flues being only four
inches wide the soot will collect In
the chimney and leave only a small
.opening for the draught. By rebuild-
ing your chimneys and using flue tiles
on inside of the brick, the soot will
not collect so freely In chimney. For
an ordinary chimney tiles 8x8 Inches
are generally used.
Weight of Spelt and Emmer.
W. M.—What ts the standard weight
of spelt and emmer?
In a bulletin devoted to spelt and
emmer, prepared by Mr. C. E. Saun-
ders, experimentalist, at the Central
Experimental farm, the weights of
these grains are referred to as fol-
lows; "The weight of a measured
bushel of emmer or spelt depends
largely on the variety and on the way
In which it has been threshed; loose
kernels, if present, materially Increase
the weight. Roughly speaking, one
may say that emmer generally weighs
from 30 to 38 pounds and spelt from
22 to 30 pounds per measured bushel."
Cement and Gravel for Wall.
Enq.—Please inform me what quan-
tity of Portland cement would be re-
quired to build a wall 60 feet long. 9
feet high and 12 inches thick; also
give amount of gravel required for
same.
A barrel of cement contains about
four cubic feet, there is 540 cubic feet
of wsll In your work, and U the con-
crete Is made in the proportion of one
of cement to nine of gravel, with stone
as fillers. It would take about fourteen
barrels of cement. It would requlrt
20 yards of gravel, or about 17 yards
of gravfl and three yards of stone.

Sand Aids Digestion.
Sand as a digestive for a human
being, seems a curious idea, but it
was recommended in a paper read be-
fore the 8ociety for the Promotion of
Health. To quote from the journal:
"What we all need," says the gentle
doctor, "Is grit—the real grit that is
furnished by the silica In the sand. To
get that we must swallow a little clean
-and every day with out meals. Tbe
presence of the grit will assist in the
;rlnding process, and our food, In-
tead of distressing us, will nourish
ind cheer us. Six five-grain capsules
of pure sand should be taken with
each meal."
The Lobster's Advantage.
The lobster, says Four Track News,
has been endowed by nature with two
gifts which go far to offset the evils
attending his lot—one is the ability
to fight early, often and all the time,
if necessary, and the ether is the abil-
ity to grow a new member, an eye, s
leg or a claw whenever tbe original It
lost in the fortunes of war or by rea-
son of any domestic unpleasantness.
It Is these two gifts which enable him
to grow up and become a useful mem-
ber of society, most of his members
being second-hand, so to speak, by
the time he is really grown.
