Backache is really kidney ache; That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure it. Many Richmond women know this. Read what one has to say about it: Mrs. Frances Hamilton, of 27 North Ninth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "I was Induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills by my sister who had used them and had been cured of kidney trouble. I was having severe backaches and pains in the loins and shoulders, and at times it was very severe. I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store and began using them. I took only two boxes in all and was entirely freed from my aches and pains, and have never had a return of my trouble since, although it was several years ago that I used them. My sister and I both think there is nothing so good as Doan's Kidney Pills and very gladly recommend them to other kidney sufferers." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Changes la Plamnge That Are Pasllnar to the Novice. y Most every one in America is ac quainted with the goldfinch, but many people know the bird by the name of lettuce bird, on account of its bright yellow color. Goldfinch Is n very appro priate name, as the bright yellow of the male, when in breeding plumage, is like burnished gold. The female gold finch Is more modestly dressed than her mate. The changes in plumage of the male are very interesting and to the novice somewhat puzzling. Until the student becomes acquainted with the bird he may wonder why he sees no males during the winter. The truth Is, at this season the flocks of supposed female goldfinches are really of both sexes, the male bird having assumed In the previous fall, usually by the end of October, a plumage closely resembling that of the female and young bird of the year. The male retains this Inconspicuous dress until late In February, when one can notice a gradual change taking place in some of the birds. This renewal of feathers Is actively continued through March and April, and by the 1st of May our resplendent bird is with us again. The song period with the male goldfinch continues as long as be wears his gold and black livery, for it commences as early aa the middle of March and ends late in August. Goldfinches are very cleanly in their habits and bathe frequently. Their nests are exquisite pieces of bird architecture, the inside being lined with the softest plant down. The mother bird is the builder, her handsome consort during the nest building time devoting most of hit efforts to singing to cheer his industrious mate. Philadelphia Press. HIS EQUAL IN HEIGHT. Lincoln's Pleasant Little Interview With a Ceal Heaver. When Lincoln was ou his way to as sume the office of president the train was delayed at Freedom, Pa., by an accident to a freight train that was a little way ahead. Lincoln was accom panied by Major Sumner and Colonel Elmer Ellsworth of the celebrated regi ment of zouaves. Neither Major Sumner nor Colonel Ellsworth was tall, and as they stood beside Lincoln on the rear platform while he made his address they looked shorter than they really were. At the close of Lincoln's short speech a coal heaver called out, "Abe, they say you are the tallest man In the United, States, but I don't believe you are any taller than I am." Lincoln replied, "Come up here and let us measure." The coal heaver pressed his way through the crowd and climbed on the platform, where Lincoln and he stood back to back. Turning to Colonel Ellsworth, Lincoln said, "Which is the taller?" Colonel Ellsworth, being so much shorter, conld not tell, so he climbed on the guard rail and, putting his hand across the top of the heads of the two men, said, "I believe they are exactly the same height." Then Lincoln and the coal heaver turned around and faced each other. The crowd shouted loudly wben Lincoln took the black, sooty band of the coal heaver in his and gave a hearty handshake to the man who was his equal In height Thomas H. Tibbies in Success Magazine. The Fiddler Crab la Wlater Quarters In winter, when the surface of the ground In which it Is accustomed to burrow may become frozen or covered with" ice, the fiddler crab bores deep Into the mud or sand and stays until spring. The black or mud fiddler fairly riddles the meadow- banks along the salt creeks. It bores in, usually horizontally, and it may be as far as six or eight feet from the face of the bank, and then down into the mud at various angles until It gets below the level of the tide, which rises and falls through the loose mud, in the fiddler crab's burrow. There are myriads of the black fiddlers, and they so honeycomb the bank that sometimes under the added weight of ice gathered upon the top of it the bank breaks down. New Yjjrk.Trjbun

LINCOLN'S DISPOSITION. rdlnarlly Cheerfal, It Held a Strata of D-ep Melancholy. Hopeful and cheerful as he ordinarily seemed, there was iu Mr. Lincoln's disposition a strain of deep melancholy. This waa not peculiar to him alone, for the pioneers as a race were somber rather than gay. Their lives had been passed for generations under the most trying physical conditions, near malaria Infested streams and where they breath ed the poison of decaying vegetation. Insufficient shelter, storms, the cold of winter, savage enemies and the cruel labor that killed off nil but the hardiest of them had at the same time killed the happy-go-lucky gayety of an easier form of life. They were thoughtful, watchful, wary; capable. Indeed, of wild merriment, but it has been salt! that although a pioneer might laugh he could not easily be made to smile. Lincoln's mind wan unusually sound and sane and normal. He had a cheerful, wholesome, sunny nature, yet he had inherited the strongest traits of the pioneers, and there was in him, moreover, much of the poet, with a poet's capacity for Joy and pain. It is not strange that as he developed into manhood, especially when his deeper nature began to feel the stirrings of ambition and of love, that these seasons of de pression and gloom came upon him with overwhelming force.

The practical cultivator understands that nature makes provision for getting rid of the bark of trees as the trunk increases in size. On the growth of the past season may be seen small olive spots. These are formations of cork. From year to year, in subsequent development, these little patches spread, really eating their way through the bark. This Is the provision which nature makes for finally rifting the bark In each species of plant. These cork cells be v their own special lines of development, and this is the reason why each kind of tree has its own particular bark. The characteristics are so prominent that clever observers can select different kinds of trees by their bark even at midnight As It is the evident intention of nature to get rid of old bnrJt..it Is a great help, to the tree to asDome Tel. 2062

Soapy water wash or lye water is useful, and even scraping has been found of great advantage. In a rough sort of way lime wash Is frequently used, the only objection being the white and glaring color. It la. however, the cheapest and the best of all bark treatment. THE USEFUL YAWN. rhls I.nnsr Ventilating- Proeess Serve a Donhle Parpose. The act of yawning Is distinctly beneficial in two ways. In the first place It serves the purpose of lung .ventila- . tlon. The lungs are not filled or exhausted by ordinary respiration. There Is a certain quantity of air which physiologists call "residual air" left In tho recesses of the lungs after the ordinary respiration. This in time becomes vitiated and affects the blood and, through it, the nervous centers. The result is a yawn, which Is really a stretching of the respiratory chamber to its fullest capacity and the filling of It with freshlx Inspired air which drives the vitiated air out. Yawning Is also beneficial In so far as It opens, stretches and ventilates the vocal, nisal and auditory chambers In Immediate connection with the mouth. The cracking sound often heard when yawning is due to the stretching and opening of the eustachian tubes, which form a communication between the middle ear and the back of the throat. The deafness which often accompanies a cold Is due to the congestion of these tubes. London Hospital. Heroines, Old aad Jfew. Most modern heroines are married women, whereas the nice ones in Shakespeare and In novels before 180O were almost always un wedded maids. Yon like Beatrice and Portia and. above all things, Rosalind. You do not lose your .heart to Lady Macbeth (though a fine figure of a woman), and you do not desire to compete with Othello In the affections of Desdemona. This may be a too nice morality, but to Victorian taste even widows, in novels at least, come under the ban of the elder Mr. Welter. Nobody but Colonel Esmond ever cared for Lady Cattlewood, .and Dobbin Is alone In his passion for Anelia.
