DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE. How Chinn’# Great Wall WIU Be l»ed to Build Modern Cities. It took 2,000,000 meu working for teu years to build the great wall of China. Even then many parts of the wall were already there for the men to link together. The earlier sections were built 3,322 years before the birth of Christ. The final wall was completed In 204 B. C. Now, more than 2,000 years later, the wall is to be blown up by dynamite to suit the modern idea of progress. It will be destroyed In a twinkling. It was built iu 30 centuries. An interesting and striking object lesson In China’s whimsical transition in a few years from superstitious stagnation to practical advancement Is furnished in the proposition to blow the old wall into ruins. The proposition emanates from the now ruler of China, the dowager empress. She is a remarkable old woman, this dowager empress, to have been evolved by a country like China. The wall has been the pride of the Mongolians all their lives. They have been reared on it from childhood. It has been a part of their religion. Up to two years ago the bare idea of removing it would have stricken the little yellow people dumb with indignant horror. Even now had the suggestion come from a foreigner they probably would have cried out for the white devil’s blood aud called upon the empress to banish all unbelieving dogs from the wall’s protection. But it came from the great empress herself, who could cut off the heads of a J lion.sand or two of the poor little chaps if they dared to raise so much as their eyes in dissent, and so the beloved wall must come down, with all Its precious traditions and sacred charms clinging around it. It- will be like pulling the old empire out by the roots aud building a new empire of things on the ruins.—San Francisco Examiner.

World’s Largest Grapevine.

La Para Grande, the biggest grapevine in the world, has reached the end of Its long outdoor life and will soon be cut dow r n. Seventy-five years it has been growing on a ranch in the Montecito valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal., but it has shown signs of dying, and so the owner, Albert Magee, the Pittsburg stove manufacturer, has ordered it removed. From the pride of. the California vineyards the vine will be turned into a museum curiosity. The Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce will preserve It as a specimen of what the soil of Santa Barbara county is able to produce. La Para Grande lias a trunk, or main stem, 3% feet In circumference, and the trellis, higher titan a man’s head, on which the spreading branches of the vine are supported, measures nearly six feet In each direction. In Its prime this single vine produced full four tons of grapes in a single year. Those days of Its glory are, however, long past.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Two Rapid Reader.

Perhaps the fastest reader the world ever knew was Gladstone. He could read and digest a nrivel of 50,000 words, a scientific work as large or larger, a political treatise or a history by merely glancing at the leaves as he turned them over. His eye aud mind seemed to photograph with the rapidity of an Instantaneous camera. Ills eye/ was the lens, Iris mind the sensitive plate. In his reading he was omnivorous to the last degree. The most rapid reader we ever had in this country is John G. Carlisle, former senator from Kentucky, speaker of the house and secretary of the treasury. Joe Blackburn says that Carlisle is the most remarkable man he ever 6nw; that he can tell the contents of a book without looking at it and give the synopsis of an argument on being told the name of the author.—New York Press. v

Your Wife’s Silk Dress.

Silk dresses are objected to by some husbands, and to such there Is interest in the recent decision of a New York judge: “If a husband allows his wife to wear articles In his presence and with his knowledge which . he would ordinarily be liable to pay for as necessaries and he makes no objection, he will be liable to pay for them, for his permission to her to retain and enjoy them Without objection is equivalent to ratification of the purchase.” Under this ruling a dressmaker secured payment for a silk dress furnished to Mrs. Schleimer without her husband’s knowledge.

A Peat of Horsemanship.

51. Charles Cottu, the son of Baron Cottu, has ridden from Vienna to Paris in 12 days and 14 hours on Els mare Irish Lass. This is a record, the best previous time being that of a Hungarian officer, Lieutenant Zubowltz, who accomplished tho journey in 14 days and 5 hours. f Both the rider aud his mare finished in excellent condition, considering the swiftness of the Journey. Quito a crowd of enthusiasts welcomed the horseman on his arrival, and number* of cyclists on tlielr steeds of steel went to meet him.

Medical Value at San’s Rays.

Professor Sinclair, a high atithority, says w*. are on the verge of great therapeutic discoveries concerning the value jpt- the sup’s rays. It cgn qjire ‘face ache, nervous debility, insomnia, weak flings arid'efi’rtlihefes. It isa finer stimulus than wine, electricity or massage. The sun’s rays must shine long on the parts affected.

H Digests fVOQOr Dyspepsia Cure Indigestion affects so many organs besides the stomach that the nature of the disease is sometimes mistaken. Headaches, giddiness and so-called heart trouble are usually caused by indigestion alone In such cas-is it is the stomach trouble which must be cured Kodol DysSJSi Cure restores health by digesting your food while the stomach rest? Dietingdoesn t mean rest but starvation. You should relieve the stomach without weakening the system by denyingyourself proper food. With as sound stomach your other complaints will soon disappear.
