BRICHT'S DISEASE
AND DIABETES.
We des ire to place in the
hands of those afflicted with
Bright's Disease and Diabetei
a 36-page pamphlet that is sav
ing human lives. It is not an
ordinary pamphlet, such as is
commonly used to advertise med-
icines, but is principally made
up of reports of scientifically con-
ducted tests in a large variety of
cases, showing 87 per cent of re-
coveries in these hitherto incura-
ble diseases.
The specifics employed in these
tests are known as the Fulton
Compounds and the results ob-
tained prove conclusively that
these dreaded di eases so long
fatal (the deaths from IJright's
Disease alone are appalling, over
100,000 a year, starting as kid-
ney troubles) have at last yield-
ed to medical science. The pam-
phlet is sent free. Write to the
John J. Fulton company, 49(J
Washington Stroet, San Fran-
cisco, Cal.
When to suspect bright's Dis-
ease:—Puffy ankles or hands;
weakness without any apparent
cause; kidney trouble after the
third month; frequent urination;
(which may show sediment or
cloudy on standing) failng vis-
ion; day drowsiness—one or
more of these.

England's VcruNIa Woman.
| Few women writers even in this
day of varied talents and voca-
tions exc«l in so many diverse
occupations as Lady Colvile, the
author of "Round the Mack Man's
Garden," a chatty volume con-
taming the accounts of a tour she
ma<le with her husband round
Africa and through Madagascar.
Photography, motoring and gard-
ening she understands and prac-
tices according to the late>t scien-
tific processes. She manages her
own estates, one in France and
one in England. The metal work
nf the house in which she lives
and or which she was the archi-
tect is all of her own and her hus-
band's design and workmanship
.Lady Colvile has shot crocodiles
in Africa, photographed canni-
bals, seen the supposed tomb of
Eve at Jeddaih and studied surgi-
cal nursing in Edinburgh for the
purpose of being able to tend her
gang o>f porters to Uganda on a
; rough journey, where they con-
stantly had accidents as well as
encounters with each other with
knives for weapons.

Steam Hit Undoing.
John Brisben Walker was the
pioneer in the steam automobile
business, and at one time the fac-
tory of the Mobile Company of
America at Kingsland-Point-<on-
ithe-Hudson employed nearly I,-
ooo men. Mr. Walker was warned
that the gasoline motor would
(take the lead in automobiles, 'but
j persisted in his devotion to steam,
j with the resailt that lie soon found
[ himself loaded with losses cx-
[ ceeding $1,700,000. Mr. Walker
personally assumed the indebted-
ness of the Mobile Company of
America and not only paid it off
in full but returned to every
stockholder the amount of his in-
I vestment, with interest. This ac-
j tion required the sale of the Cos-
j mopolitan magazine, Kings land
Point and other properties.
Gold All One Color.
The general idea of the color
of gold is that it varies according
•to the locality in which it is found.
This is now said bv experts to be
j incorrect. Pure gold is of one
unvarying, unchanging color. Few
J people, however, see such gold.
All the gold of commerce used
j either as money or for jewelry
has alloy in it. Mexican gold, for
! instance, is redder than that of
I California. This red tinge is
j caused by the presence of copper,
j and the paler tinge by silver, and
! in the mints of different countries
j the amount and kinds of alloy
I used differ sufficiently to give
different tints to the money.
No. John D. III.
The fact that there is no John
D. Rockefeller 111, is, in the eyes
j of Grandfather Rockefeller, a seri-
[ ous thing, and should the second
child of Mr. and Mrs. John D.
j Rockefeller, Jr., prove a boy he
I will 'be-doubly welcome. As mat-
j ters stand now the death of the
two Rockefellers would put the
world's greatest fortune in the
possession of the grandchild and
of Mrs. M'cGormick, the sole
j daughter of John D. Rockefeller,
Sr. Mrs. Rockefeller, Jr., who
was Abbie G. Aldrich, daughter
of the United States senator from
Rhode Island, is the mother of
one child, a daughter, born No-
vember 9, 1903.

Lincoln's 97th Birthday.
Some state boards of registra-
tion in medicine are now co-oper-
ating in order to make their cer-
tificates interchangeable. This
movement seems to be confined
to the west, and there are now
eighteen states in this sort of fed-
eration. This means that a phy-
sician holding a license from one
state can go into any of the other
seventeen and receive a license
there on the certificate which he
received in the state he came
"from.
The feeling between Senator
Spooner and Ea Follette, of \Vi -
I consin, is not without precedent.
J Senatwr (iallinger and Senator j
Chandler for years represented \
j New Hampshire together in the
senate and never exchange greet-
ings. The feud between Senator
Tillman and his colleague. Sena-
tor McLaurin, became so intense
that they came to blows several
! years ago on the floor of the sen-
ate. An intense personal feeling
1 arose between Senator Welling-
ton and Senator MvComas during
the time they served in the sen-
| ate together from Maryland. Sen-
ator Berry and Senator Clarke of
| Arkansas, meet and pass each
other as total strangers. In their
case the ceremony of walking
down the main aisle together
when Senator Clarke was sworn
in was omitted and Senator
Clarke played the part al<>ne. Sen-
ator Berry volunteered to act as
his colleague's csoont upon that
occasion, but the oiler was
spurned.
Collecting a Bill.
A claim was once placed in the
hands of Judge Peters of Bangor,
'Me., for collection. A notice was
sent to the debtor, who called
and promised to pay the follow-
ing Saturday. The judge said:
"Now, don't say you will pay
Saturday night unless you mean
to; just take a few more days and
(be sure. Say you will pay next
Wednesday." "All right," said
the man, "if I live until next
Wednesday I will pay that bill."
j Wednesday came, but no man
appeared to settle the bill, where-
upon the judge wrote out a notice
of the death of the man and put
it in the daily paper. The next
day the bill was settled.

Hard on the "Steeple Jack."
Dr. Wm. S. Hawke, of Tren-
ton, N. J., knows something of
business, though he is a profes-
sional man. A few days ago he
j saw Thomas Fletcher, a "steeple
jack," repairing the spire of a
church. Fletcher owed l)r. Hawke
l for medical attention, hut bad
made no effort to pay, though a
bill had been sent long ago.
Learning that the "steeple jack"
was to be pnid as soon as the job
was finished, which would be that
evening, Dr. Hawke wont into
court and secured an attachment
for the amount of his claim and
the debtor was forced to pay for a
receipt before getting the balance
of $4.
Reporter's Woundertul Memory.
Louis N. Megargee. the writer,
who died a few days ago in lMiila-
delphia, had marvelous tenacity of
memory and p>wer of sustained
eff-xrt. These qualities were ex-
hibited at the time Thomas A.
Scott of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, (Vied. Megargee was then
on the staff of the old Phiadelphia
Tunes. Through - >me inadver-
tence the obituary notice had not
been prepared 111 advance. Col.
A K. McClure, editor of the
Times, was a close friend and as-
ia-te of Scott's, and at four in
t. . afternoon of the railroad pres-
ident's death he ordered that a
complete bi graphical sketch be
■written anil that the full history
of Mr. Scott's life be presented,
regardless of what space it tnigln
occupy. Flic task was assigned
to Megargee. He began writing
with a pencil at 4 :30 p. 111. and by
1 o'clock the next mornng, with-
out referring to a note and de-
pending entirely upon his mem-
ory, he had completed eight col-
umns of an analytical review of
Scott's life.
When tha Heart Reata.
It has been said that the heart
never rests. But that—as an
anatomist pointed out—is a fal-
lacy. "The heart," he said, "gets
a great deal of rest during sleep,
for its beats are far less numer-
ous—that is to say, there is a
longer period between each. It
has no longer to sii|vport all the
activities of the body, but merely
to keep the life in the frame. As
for the brain, during sleep it he-
comes pale and shrinks, the heart
no longer having to supply it with
blood to anything like the same
extent as in its waking hours.
Sleep, in fact, means a very com-
plete reduction of all the vital pro-
cesses. Even the tear glands get
a rest. This is why we rub our
eyes on waking. It is in order
to stimulate the glands to furnish
moisture for the eyes, which have
become dry as a result of the in-
action of the tear fountains."
TOO LATE ON THE LAST DAY.
Horribla Thought That Occurred to
Procrastinating Individual.
Senator Frje was wont to tell this
one on ex-Senator Howard of Ix-wis-
ton, Me . explaining that In the early
day* of his business carter his fond-
ness for sleep was almost the cause
of his umtoliiK.
It was Howard's Invariable rule to
take "another wink'' afier being called
I11 the morning, and almost as In-
variably did he arrive at business
from thirty mlnutea to one hour la'e
On sundry occasions he was known
to slay out with "the boys," and on
one particular occasion was induced
to partake of the grape Jutce to such
an extent that hts companions decided
l<> play a very practical Joke on him,
by placing hltu in an undertaker'!
shop to sleep In a casket.
In the early dawn Mr. Howard
awoke, stretched and sat up. In hor-
ror he beheld the empty caskets about
him, and in a fleeting second his past
career passed before his mental
vision, till, raising his hands aloft, he
exclaimed, while heads of perspiration
stood on Ills ghastly brow : "Kor the
last time too late—loo late for the
resurrection."
Lalsur- Property Earned.
leisure la. becauie toll and ear*
and business and the occupation of
the world are. And thoie who do not
know close confinement, strict appli-
cation or compelling labor imposed by
the duties and responsibilities of a
vocation or avocation—neither ahall
they know the satisfying pleasure and
Intense appreciation of the hard-
earned luxury of leisure.
CATS TRAINED AS RETRIEVERS.
Proof That Ancient Egyptians So
Used Their Pets.
"It Is claimed," said a Chicago anti-
quary. "that rats may be trained as
retrievers—trained to swim to your
slain birds, and bring them hack to
vou In their mouths. The thing sounds
Incredible. But look here."
He held up the photograph of an an-
cient Kgyptian painting. Men with
spears rode 011 the Nile, in some of
the boats largo cats sat on their
haunches In the stern, while toward
others several cnts swam with dead
birds In their mouths.
"This picture," said the anllqunry.
"proves that the Egyptlana used cats
for hunting dogs. If they, why not
we? The original of the picture Is in
tho Hrltish museum, where there are
also several pieces of carving that ills
play the cat in tho r ile of a retriever."

Burglar 8houts Police.
Says a l'arls telegram: While an
architect named M. Georgel was sit-
ting In his offlco on Monday ho heard
a knock at the door, but as he desired
to be alone hu took no notice and went
on with Ills work. A few minutes later
he heard a key moving In the lock, ao,
not doubting that his visitor waa a
burglar, the architect armed himself
with a revolver and hid behind solve
curtains. A moment later the burglar
entered and proceeded to rifle the
room. Then suddenly ho started ani
grew pale. In a mirror he had seen
a revolver leveled at his head from
behind tho curtains. "Open the wla-
dow," ordered the architect, "anil
shout Tolleo!'" Tho burglar had no
alternative but to obey, and waa speed-
ily arrested.

"Weeping" Senators.
Senator Tillman is the latest
addition to the class of "weeping
senators." He broke down and
sobbed aloud as he concluded his
specacih in the senate on the case
of Mrs. Morris, who was ejected
from the White House. Senator
Thurston wept when he made his
.opcech on Cuban reciprocity, but
the prize "weeper" of them all is
Senator Teller, of Colorado. At
the best his voice is tearful, but
of late years lie has been giving
way to his feelings and when
thoroughly aroused to his subject
he sheds tears and his voice is
choked with sobs of emotion. The
late Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
was also in the weeping class of
senators.
Amerioans in Favor.
The most favored man in the
'kingdom of Siam is an American
named Strobel. 11c is the king's
counsel, ancl his majesty takes
no important step without con-
sulting Mr. Strobel. Americans
are in particularly high favor in
that quaint country, anyway, for
the reason that the United States
government returned to China a
large portion of the indemnity
awarded it for damages arising
out of the Boxer trobules. This
is the first time on record that a
white race was ever known to
give back anything taken from a
yellow one, and .such unwonted
magnanimity has given the Yan-
kees a position that no Europeans
enjoy.
Tricks of Autograph Hunters.
Rome autograph hunters' tricks arc
revealed In tho Connoisseur. George
Kliot was ...ikt'n in by n lady who en
j listed her sympathy in fictitious uncial
work. Another wrote to lluskln a
| touchliiK letter of supplication which
■ 'Melted no reply. She wrote onaln In
a tone of almost piteous entreaty,
but still silence. Then kiio adopted
Mother name and address, became
tho bogus secretary of an imaginary
art club for young students In a prov-
incial town, and invited Mr. lluskln
to come down and deliver nn address.
The simple minded author wroto back
a lonK, delightful letter, asking to bo
excused from giving an address un-
til the club hnd mado aohio progress,
hut Imparting much admirable coun-
sel and useful rules of guidance.
Unprecedentad Action.
"Young Iloomwoller Is a rank fail-
ure as a legislator!" Indignantly said
the Hon. Thomas Ilott. "Why, when
In tho course of debate I denominated
him a falsifier he struck mo on tho
nose-, when, If be had been at all ac-
quainted with parliamentary usage,
| ho would havo known that It was per-
mlssablo only to hurl tho calumny
hack in my teeth! There la a yellow
streak In that fellow, aa sura aa you
tire born!"—Puck.
"May" Needle Lace.
One exquisite variety of latcc
made by the present women of
Youghal,, in Ireland, is called
"May" needle point, after the
Prince of Wales. For this home
lace making, Queen Margaret of
Italy collected ami supplied speci-
mens of rarest old Italian laces,
to be used as patterns by the Irish
workers. The perfection of skill
attained by them is evidenced by
the fact that "May" needle point
seMs at $225 a yard.
Minister's Terrible Oath.
A New York clergyman some
few weeks ago was playing golf
on the links of the Mount Airy
Club, near Philadelphia. In the
course of the game he drove into
a bunker, whereupon his partner
heard him exclaim: "Croton!"
The latter did not understand,
but said nothing. Shortly after-
ward, upon slicing his ball into
the long grass, the clergyman
again ejaculated: "Groiton!"
"What do you mean by that
word, 'Croton,' Mr. R.?" inquired
bis partner. "It sounds like an
exorcism." "No," said the rev-
erend gentleman, "but it ex-
presses my feelings exactly."
"How so?" "Why, it rqircsents
the biggest dam in the world."
"Esplanade" and "Boulevard."
Both "esplanade" and "boulevard"
nre nilil'nry terms by origin. Tho
original "boulevard" waa a bulwark or
horizontal part of tho rampart and an
"esplanade" was originally tho glacis
or slopo of the counterscarp of a for-
tified place. A writer 200 years ngo
noted that tho word boulevard was
"now chiefly taker for tho void space
between Ihe glacis of a "Mladel and
the first houses of a town." Hence
its extension to other "void spaces"
suitable for promenading. Tho old
French "esplanade" was defined by
Cotgrave as "a planing, leveling, even-
ing of ways," from I,atin "explanare,"
to smooth or flatlen out, whence the
Hngllsh words "explain" and "expla
nation."
Scotland Yard.
Scotland Yard, widely known
as the headquarters of the Lon-
don police, is a historical place,
said to have been the site of a
palace where kings of Scotland
were received when they came
to London. It is near tbe ban-
queting hall, Whitehall. The
Scotch kings retained possession
of it from 959 till the rebellion
of William of Scotland. Milton,
Sir Christopher Wren and other
notables lived in Scotland Yard.
Old Ruaaian Locomotivaa.
A Geman student finds one of
the causes of the inability of the
•Russian railroads to handle their
■traffic is tbe antiquity of their lo-
comotives. The nunnber of these
seems in tolerable proportions to
the traffic, for out 14.326 locomo-
tives no less than 6,919 are from
24 to 46 years old.
Rioher Than Rookafeller.
Alfred Belt, tbe South African
mining king, is said to be richer
even than Rockefeller. Half the
mines in Scuth Africa belong to
him, including the fabulous
wealth of Kimberley's diamond
output. The aggregate of his
wealth cannot be stated, but a
rough estimate places it at $1,-
000,000,000. His yearly income
is $52,500,000 which means that
he gets $100 every minute of his
life; or, to put it another way,
$1,000,000 a week.
"Burning Tree" of India.
The leaves and stems of the
"burning tree" of India are
clothed with stinging hairs, --.ome-
what like the common nettle, but
of a far more virulent nature.
When touched, the sensation felt
is as of being burnt with red-hot
iron, the pain extending over
other parts of the body, and last-
ing several days
David B. Hill Failing.
Friends of David I!. Hill in
Albany were shocked at his ap-
pearance when he visited that city
to attend the Patrick hearing. He
is still suffering from the cold
which he contracted some time
ago, coughs frequently and is
quite short of breath. The ex-
senator's face shows deep lines
and his mustache is almost white.
Wrapped carefully in heavy fur
robes, he hurried from and to his
carriage, his attendant watching
him closely as a nurse. Mr. Hill
is experiencing trouble with his
eyes, and he intends to stop all
work until his present condition
has been improved greatly.

Real Ootopua Hunter.
Conger eels hunt for the octo-
pus and, when found, proceed to
browse on its limbs. The octo-
pus tries to hug the slippery,
slimy conger tight, "but in vain,
and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges its ink in the face
of the foe and, under cover of the
turbid water beats a hasty retreat.
It is to escape the too pressing
attention of its foes that the oc-
topus possesses the power of
changing its color to correspond
with that of its surroundings.
Heroinea. Old and New.
Most modern heroines are married
women, whereas the nice ones In
Shakespeare and in novels before
1890 were almost always unwedded
maids. You like Heat rice and Por-
tia and, above all things, ltosalind.
Vou do not lose your heart to Lady
Macbeth (though a fine figure of a
woman) and you do not desire to com-
pete with Othello in the afTectlons
of Desdemona. This may bo a too
nice morality, but to Victorian tastes
even widows, In novels at least, come
under the ban of the elder Mr. Wel-
ler. Nobody but Col. Esmond ever
eared for Lady Castlewood ar,J Dob-
bin Is alone In his passion for Amelia.

An Alarming Blunder.
A young lady living in Paris recent-
ly visited her sister's family and left
them in perfect health. The next day
a letter arrived from the Hlchat Hos-
pital announcing her death at that In-
stitution, and caused deep grief among
her relatives, who thought she had
met with a fatal accident. That even-
ing, however, the supposed deceased
appeared at the house safe and sound.
It appears that she had been under
treatment at the hospital some time
ago, and her name, through an error,
was given to another patient, who
subsequently died.
Moat Ancient Coina.
The Parian Chronicle ascribes tha
first coinage of copper and silver
money to Pheldon, king of Argos In
Aeglna, 895 B. C., which Aelian corro-
borates; and the best numismatic an-
tiquaries agree In considering the
coins of Aeglna, from their archaic
form and appearance, as the most an-
cient known. The coins of Lydia prob-
ably come next In antiquity, and then
the early Dorics of the Persian kings,
which occur both in gold and silver,
and bear a strong resemblance to tbe
coins of Aeglna.
