ALL WANTED NOISY CLOCKS.
Manufacturer Mad to Meet Demand
of Savages.
A clockmaker discovered that a
rival was sending out large stocks of
cheap clpeks to the heart of Africa,
and doing good business with them.
He spent a large sum in making bet*
ter clocks and shipped thousands of
them to the same market. Strange
to say, his sales were small, although
his rival, turning out a cheap and in-
accurate timepiece, was selling all he
could make. Finally he found a key
to the mystery. Savages like noise.
The clocks made by the first exporter
had a particularly loud and aggres-
sive tick. His competitor had made
n better clock, but it was almost noise-
less, and the savages would have none
of it. The next cargo of clocks which
the maker shipped to the Guinea coast
ticked louder than anything ever
heard there, and they sold like pink
lemonade at a circus.
A Big Job of Lifting
A Brooklyn school building, five
stories In height and 150 feet in
length by 84 feet In breadth, has been
lifted thirty-four inches. In times of
heavy rains the lower part of the
structure has been flooded, and there-
fore It was thought advisable to ele-
vate the walls. This raising of the
building by means of Jackscrews has
been watched with keen interest by
groups of spectators, but far more re-
markable feats in the uplifting of
much heavier and more massive
structures have been accomplished in
other communities.

Mrs. Newlywed’s Complaint.
“What will we have for dinner,
dear?” said Mrs. Newlywed to her
husband as he started for the office.
“Oh, make your own selection,
sweetheart,” ho replied, caving her a
tond caress, as young husbands will.
"But, George, dear, we had roast
pork Monday, roast lamb ’•'uesday and
•oast beef last night.”
“Well?"
“Why can’t they Invent some more
animals? It's so hard to choose from
just those three.”
His Shoes Were Tired
A Baltimore avenue boy. aged six.
leems to have an imaginative mind
is well as a humane disposition.
Recently his mother noticed that
it bedtime every night he laid his
little boots together upon their sides
Instead of setting them upright.
“Please tell me why you always
place your boots in th&t way,’’ she
said.
“Why.” answered the little boy,
“It’8 because they must be tired
walking so much all day. 1 lay them
sideways so they can rest.”—Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

Situation Summed Up.
Voice From Arkansas.
Cleveland, Ark., August 15 (Spe-
cial).—Nearly every newspaper tells
ot some wonderful cure of some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great
American Remedy, Dodd’s Kidney
Pills, and this part of Arkansas is
not without its share of evidence that
no case is too deeply cooted for
Ladd’s Kidney Pills to cure.
Mr. A. E. Carlile, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his
cure after nearly a quarter of a cen-
tury's suffering. Mr. Carlile says:
“I want to let the public know
what 1 think of Dodd’s Kidney Pills
I think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
“I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years
and never found anything that did ine
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I recommend them to all sufferers.’
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr. Carlilo’s statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a life of suffering and ho wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back*
acho to Bright’s Disease.
True Happiness.
No one seems to be happier in Atch-
ison these evenings than the boy with
a new pup in his arms. The Uplift
will denounce us for saying it, but he
bears a happiness in his face exceed-
ing that seen in the face of the lover,
or the young mother with the baby In
her arms. The boy with the pup
(again, apologies to tho Uplift) knows
no Jealousy, fears no apprehension;
the pup is his, and he is its. The
neighbor boys envy him, and he has
something at last that loves him with-
out saying “Don’t every five minutes.
In ticketing the Happy Ones, put the
boy with the pup at the head.—AtchV
son (Kan.) Globe. __
They Should
“My honest convictions, based upon
my own experience and that of my
friends, is that ‘Hunt’s Cure’ will cure
11 larger per cent, of skin troubles,
especially of an itching variety, than
any other remedy. Certainly those
afflicted with any form of itch should
try it.” J- O. Monroe,
Atchison, Kas.
Value of Torpedoes.
Torpedo range is now about 2,000
Lards. The improvements which are
being made, it is estimated, will near-
ly double this, and that before very
long. This means that when two
ileets approach each other in order of
battle—usually in line ahead with
ships 400 yards apart, and the lines
making an angle to one another,
that as many guns can be brought to
bear as possible—torpedo firing will
begin when the intervening distance
Is about two miles. This is, if any-
thing, beyond effective fighting range
of guns. As the distance increase
the accuracy of the flight of the tor-
pedo increases, and becomes as great
if not greater than that of the gun
projectiles. What tactics are to be
used to meet these new conditions is
not yet assured, but that tho chances
of hits with the torpedoes are very
large—one in three under the condi-
tions above stated—is well recognised,

Prolific Indiarubber Trees.
Indiambber trees which are tapped
every other day continue to yield sap
for more than twenty years; and it Is
a curious fact that the oldest and
most frequently tapped trees produce
the richest sap.
Wifey—How do you like my new

Hubby—Oh, 1 suppose I’ve got to

Deep-Level Mining.
Great advance In deep level mining
fe the result of the advance In engl
neering science. Borne years ago
three thousand feet was considered a
£reat depth, but this limit has been
tnuch#exceeded. At Flenu, Belgium^
thlrty-clx hundred feet has been touch-
ed, while at Calumet. Hecla and Tam-
arack, In the United States, mines
from forty-five hundred to fifty-four
hundred feet have been worked. The
temperature is the great thing to bo
overcome.
The Old Question.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
had spent the night in the fiery fur-
nace.
“Good morning,” they renrarkad
when the doors were opened. “Is it
hot enough for you?”
With a savage, bafilejl yell their
persecutors fled tho scene.—Judge.
Better Plan Than That.
The young clergyman was under
tho impression that there* had been
some criticism because he preaclfed
extemporaneously. “Do you think I
ought to write my sermons?” he
asked.
‘No,” replied the sarcastic warden.
“I think you ought to buy them.”
By Doctor’s Advice.
“Excuse me, Softly,” remarked Pen-
dennifl curiously, “how is it you al-
ways wind up your watch immediately
alter dinner?”
“For tho benefit of my health. You
see, my doctor has recommended me
always to take a little exercise after
dinner.”
Field of Crystallzed Sail.
The great field of crystallzed salt at
Sal ton, Cal., In the middle of the
Colorado desert. Is 264 feet below the
level of th sea and Is more than a
thousand acres In extent. Its surface
Is as white as snow, and when the sun
Is shining Us brilliance is too dazzling
for tho eye. The field is constantly
supplied by the many salt springs in
tho adjacent foothills.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don’t keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
aave a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz in a package,
which they won’t be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 10 oz. for
the same money.
