WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS Dona's Kidney Pilis Have Done Great Service for P e ople Who Work in Decatur. More Decatur people work every day in some strained unnatural position —bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or cars, doing laborious housework; lifting, reaching afr pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Decatur cures prove it. Henry Peters, proprietor of Foundry and boiler works, living on Eleventh street, Decatur, Indiana, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did me a vast amount of good and I have been recommending them for a number of years, and will continue to do so. My work requires a good strong back, and when that part of my body was made weak, it was very difficult to continue my work. For two years I was troubled with kidney complaint, and could not do anything. Backache clung to me, the attacks sometimes bein gso severe that I almost had to give up and sometimes I was so stiff and sore that I could not get home, and even in the morning I did not feel as well as I should have felt I began using Doan's Kidney Pills procured at the Holthouse Drug Co. s store and they helped me wonderfully and soon I was completely relieved. In 1902 I was glad to recomend Doan's Kidney Pills through the newspapers and 1 am willing now that you should continue the publication of my statement. Doan's Kidney Pills is a great remedy for backache and kidney complaint and everybody ought to know about it. I advise ail kidney sufferers to use it” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

YOUR NERVES. The Most Untiring of All Are Those of the Heart. The most easily tired nerves in the body are the nerves of smell. They can detect the faintest whiff of perfume. As you pass a rose in the garden the quantity of perfume that gets into your nostril must be many millions of billions of times smaller than the tiniest grain of sand. But rub the strongest perfume on your upper lip and in a few seconds you fail to notice it, the nerve of smell is so quickly fatigued. The heat nerves and cold nerves, which are quite distinct from the nerves of ordinary sensation, also give over working very quickly. A bath that seems quite hot when you step into it very soon ceases to cause tiny particular feeling of heat. Nerves of bearing and sight can go through an enormous amount of work. For sixteen hours a day they work hard and are still willing to do more. The nerves of the heart are the most untiring of all. From the first dawn of life until the last gasp they work without stopping for one instant. And even after death if some salted water is pumped into the heart it commences to beat again, showing that the nerves are still willing. — Pearson's Weekly. HE REVISED IT. Young Author Was Anxious to Comply With the Editor's Request. "Your story possesses merit," wrote the kindly magazine editor in returning a manuscript to a struggling young author of Washington, “but you have embellished it with too much description, atmosphere and other irrelevant matter. What we want is a story setting out the simple facts—facts, just plain facts. If you will revise your story according to our ideas, we will be glad to pay you $25 for it.” A few days later the editor got the following from the struggling young author of Washington: •‘Herewith revised story. Please send cheek by return mail, as I need the money.” And this was the story as rewritten: “Jonas loved Eliza, but he was poor, and wealthy papa kicked. Jonas went into Wall street and made a million, incidentally bankrupting papa. Then Eliza went fishing, fell off a log into the mill pond, and Jonas fished her out. Papa relented and borrowed a hundred thousand from Jonas. Marriage.” —Washington Post.

Explosion of Gasoline. A gasoline tank rarely explodes. It cannot unless it contains gasoline vapor and air in explosive proportions, which latter condition is almost never present. It does not explode because it contains too little air or too much gasoline. Even if a tank of gasoline were to burst from heat applied to its exterior the confined heavy gas would not explode if in contact with flame or fire, but would burn instead. True, a tank of gasoline with no vent could do considerable damage were it to burst and throw burning oil and flaming gas about, but 1.000 gallons of gasoline in a vessel's bilges would not be so dangerous from explosion as a hundredth of that amount. The larger quantity would burn rapidly, while the smaller would be sufficient, if mixed with the proper amount of air, to utterly demolish almost any boat—Scientific American. Aldrich's Birthplace. The quaint old town by the sea called Portsmouth is the only seacoast town in New Hampshire and is one of our very oldest settlements, for it was founded in the year 1623, and it has a history worth knowing. It was an old town when Thomas Bailey Aldrich was born in one of its quaint and ancient houses on the 11th of November in the year 1836, and he has written a very delightful book about Portsmouth called “An Old Town by the Sea,” while his famous “Story of a Bad Boy” is a very true account of his boyhood in the New Hampshire seaport.—J. L. Harbour in St Nicholas. Cut Rate Contributors. In a certain parish of Greater New York the rector, while admonishing his flock on Sunday last that the collection basket receipts were steadily growing less, took occasion to declare that “certain parishioners contribute according to their means, but others give in keeping with their meanness.” He added that in measure such exhibitions of false pretense reminded him of the story told of the pilgrim fathers upon their arrival at Plymouth Rock, “First they fell upon their knees; then they fell upon the aborigines.” The Folly of Delay. It Is one of the strangest things in life how few people have settled In their own minds what it Is they really want or who will take the trouble to be happy. “I have often thought how much I should like to do so and so,” we hear people say, and nine times out of ten it is something they could very easily have done, only they always put it off. —London Spectator. Quick Finger*. The dexterity of a modern virtuoso’s fingers made a deep impression on an old farmer who was among the audience at a piano recital. Clapping both hands suddenly down upon his knees, he was heard to exclaim, “I’d give SIOO to have that man pick peas for me!” Mischief comes by tbe pound and go«s away by the ounce. —French Proverb. Cotton cloth made in India la mentioned by Herodotus. B. C. 400.

A FAMOUS CEMETERY. Oampo Santo as a Burial Place Has No Equal In the World. Few travelers, whether for business or pleasure, who come within easy distance of Genoa fail to spend at least a day in the city of hills in order to Visit this famous Campo Santo, which as a burial place has no equal in the world. The peculiar arrangement, the richness of the monuments and the well disposed shrubbery give one the impression of an artistic garden rather than a cemetery, for there is little to suggest the latter as it is suggested in the modern cemeteries of our country. Truly it is a wonderful sight, with its great colonnades and its groups of statuary, and even if one has not the morbid curiosity of many who find it pleasurable to inspect the burial places of large cities he may profitably spend an hour or two in this solemn precinct, where sculptors, principally natives of Genoa, have works which would make any one famous. Laid out in the form of a huge square, the center is planted with shrubs and flowers, and here the poorer classes are buried, each grave being marked with a small stone and a lantern of fanciful design hanging at either end. In the lofty corridors of marble which extend around the entire square are the tombs and monuments of the wealthy and noble of Genoa. The corridors are about fifteen feet in width and are lined on either side with groups of statuary, all of which •re life size and the majority of which are faithful portraits of those whom they commemorate. Very curious to foreign eyes do the figures look in their faithfully reproduced dresses of long ago. Here one may see the chignons of the sixties, boys in sailor suits and men in frock coats. Many of the figures and groups are very beautiful, and the work is executed with much delicacy of expression. So natural and lifelike are some of the figures that were it not for the fact that they are all startlingly white one might easily mistake them at a short distance for living persons.—Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly. He Knew Mother. “See here.” cried the boy's father, “If you don't behave I'll whip you!” “I wisht you would,” replied the bad boy. “You do, eh?” “Yes, ’cause when it's all over ma will gimme some candy.”—Exchance.
