tumorous Department. Distinguishing Twins. The benevolent old gentleman stopped at the sight of the two similarlooking Infants in the baby carriage, and said in a pleasant voice to the girl in attendance. "Ah! Twins?" "Yes, sir," replied the girl: "both boys." "So?" said the old gentleman. "How do you tell them apart? Which is which?" "This one,*' said the nurse, pointing, I nna Jc fhnt " IN 11J l&t nuu umi uuv 10 v..v%.. "Dear me." said the old gentleman, "how very interesting. Iiut." he added, indicating the second one, "might not this one be this also?" "It might," said the girl, after a short pause; "then, of course, that one would be that." "Well, then." said the old gentleman, "how do you manage to separate them?" "We seldom do, but when we want to we put one in one room and the other in another." "Do you indeed? Which one do you put in one room?" "Sometimes this one and sometimes that." "How do you know which one you're putting in which room?" "We look and see which is in the other room, and then we know the other is in the which room." "Very good." said the old gentleman, warming up to the problem, "but if one of them was !n the house and the other was away somewhere, would you be able to tell which was In the house?" "Oh. yes, sir," said the girl earnestly; "all we would have to do would be to look at him and then we would know that the one we saw was the one in the house and then, of course, the one away somewhere would be the other. There are only two of them, you see. which makes it very easy." The benevolent gentleman then passed on. Pook Sandy!?The young Scotchman never liked his mother-in-law and this weighed heavily on the mind of his wife, who was ill. Calling her husband to her bedside she said to him, "Sandy, lad, I'm varra ill and I think I'm gang to dee, and hoforp I dee I want you to gie me a promise." "I'll promise." said Sandy. "What is it?' "Weel, I ken that when I dee I'll have a fine funeral, and I want you to ride up in front in a carriage wi* my mother." "Weel," sadly responded Sandy, "I've sried ye my word, an' it's nae me that's Rang back on that; but I'll tell ye one thing, ye've spoilt the day for me."? Success. A Deadly Offence.?"Well, sir," remarked the somewhat garrulous landlord of the Puxico tavern, "Throgmorton, the constable, arrested a feller day before yesterday for walking down Main street here in the middle of the afternoon in his stockln' feet. He's in jail now, and"? "But great Scott!" ejaculated the washing machine agent, "it is not a crime, is it, for a person to walk in his stocking feet? Why, my dear sir, personal liberty"? An- norsnnni lihertv is proper enough as long as it don't interfere with the rights of other people. Anything that tends to add to the silence of our promisin' little city is an offense against the general weal. We're public spirited here, even if we ain't exactly metropolitan."?Puck. San key's Story.?A story which Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist singer used to tell on himself has been recently revived. One day in Geneva he entered a music box shop and asked to see some music boxes. The salesman graciously showed him a number, but none was what he wanted. "Have you none that play sacred music?" he asked. "Why," answered the salesman, "we have some that play a kind of halfway sacred music." "What?" inquired Mr. Sankey. *-- 3 "Oft, lft6S6 AlOOQy <mu oaimc ^ hymns! I can't imagine what the people see in them, but we sell thousands of the boxes that play them. We have enormous orders for these boxes," continued the salesman, "from every part of Europe." And then he added, apologetically, "it's a matter of business, you know, with us." authors ok Today and Yesterday. ?James Whitcomb Riley is evidently no believer in the greatness or enduring quality of modern literature. Some time ago a friend was talking to him about the good times that novelists of today have compared with those of the past. "You modern writers don't work so hard." he said, "and you are paid twenty times as much as you ought to be." Mr. Riley gently shook his head. "You labor under a misapprehension, my boy," he replied. "The chief difference between the old authors and those of today is simply this: They died and their works live: our works die and we live?as best we can."? Judge.

In Switzerland there is a strong feeling that any man who is out of work must be helped to find work, and this not so much for his own sake as for the sake of the whole community?to guard against his being a cause of expense to it instead <?f being a source of income. There is, nowever, an equmi.> auung feeling that when the work Is found the man must, if necessary for his own sake as well as the sake of the community, be made to do it; to do it well, too. Practically everywhere in Switzerland. says the Nineteenth Century, while it is held to be the duty of the authorities to stand by the genuine work seeker and help him. it is held to be their duty also to mete out punishment to the work shirker and force him to earn his daily bread before he eats it. No toleration is shown to the loafer, for he Is regarded as one who wishes to prey on his fellows and take money out of the common purse while putting none into it. On the other hand, what can be done is done, and gladly, to guard decent men from all danger of becoming loafers through mischance or misfortune. In this country a man may deliberately throw up one job and without ever making any effort to find another. remain for months in the ranks of the unemployed, steadily deteriorating all the time into an unemployable. Meanwhile no one has the right to say him yea or nay unless he applies for poor relief. In Switzerland, however, it is otherwise. There is no resorting to workhouses as to hotels there; no wandering around the countryside extorting alms while pretending to look for work For begging is a crime and so is vagrancy; and in some cantons the police receive a special fee for every beggar or vagrant they arrest. If a man is out of work there he must try to find work, for if he does not, the authorities of the district where he has a settlement will find it for him, and of a kind per laps not at all to his taste?tiring and badly paid. He cannot refuse to do it, for if he does he may be packed off straight to a penal workhouse, an institution where military discipline prevails and Inmato 1c mn flp to WOl'k ? IlCiC hih.wvv .w to the full extent of his strength, receiving in return board and lodging, with wages of from a penny to threepence a day. When once he is there, there he must stay until the authorities decree that he shall depart; for as a penal workhouse is practically a prison, he cannot take his own discharge, and the police are always on the alert to prevent his running away. No matter how long his sojourn lasts, however, it does not cost the community a single penny for in Switzerland these penal institutions are self-supporting. Some of them, indeed, are said to be a regular source of income to the cantons to which they belong. There is no classing of the unemployed by casualty or misfortune with the unemployed by laziness or misconduct there; no meting out to them of the same measure. On the contrary, considerable trouble is taken to distinguish between the two classes, so that each may be dealt with according to its merits. The man who is cut ot wont mrougn nis own muu mm because lie does not wish to be In work Is treated as a criminal and sent as a prisoner to a penal institution: while the man who is out of work in spite of his earnest endeavor to be in work is helped without being subjected to humiliation. It is much more easy there, however, than it is here, it must be admitted, to distinguish between employed and unemployed, as there every workingman has his papers, i. e.. documents which are given to him by the authorities of the district where he has his settlement and which contain full information as to where and by whom he has been employed in the course of his life. Then relief In kind stations, i. e., casual wards organized on philanthropic lines, are now maintained in every part of industrial Switzerland for the exclusive use of the respectable unemployed, and drunkards, criminals and loafers are never allowed to cross the threshold of these places. No one is admitted to a Swiss relief in kind stations unless his papers show that he has been in regular work within the previous three months and out of work at least five days; unless they show also that neither the police nor his own district authorities have, any reason for looking on him askance. He who is admitted, however, is made welcome and is treated with consideration as a respectable man whom misfortune has befallen. Let men but relax their efforts and show signs of a willingness to remain without work and they are at once thrown on their own resources. The police, who are in close co-operation with the station officials, always keep a sharp watch on the unemployed, especially on such as are sojourning in these refuges, and if they find them refusing work when it is offered under reasonable conditions or accepting it and losing through carelessness, laziness of any other fault of their own, or lounging by the wayside or in public houses instead of betaking themselves where they have been told there is a chance of a job, the fact is reported, with the result that there weeks since September 1, says the Peoria correspondence of the Minneapolis Journal. The figures have been compiled from actual shipments. They represent the entire production of the Illinois river from Henry to Grafton, and include the shipments from every recognized fish market along the banks. Carp and buffalo weighing from three to twenty-five pounds make up this enormous amount, with the carp constituting fully two-thirds of the shipments. ORDEAL OF DYING. A Point Is Reached Where There Is No Pain. The case of Dr. W. T. Bull, tne ?ew York physician. In his heroic fight against cancer and death has attracted the attention of the whole world. Nevertheless the scientific critic now comes along and tells us that in a fatal malady, after a certain phase has been reached and passed, no real heroism can be attributed to a doomed person. For, according to the London Lancet, the majority of persons who die In their beds cease to feel pain once the disease from which they suffer has traveled to a limit of which the subsequent stage is death. Owing to the comatose state of a mind, the desire to live and the will to do so have deserted them. There is, it is declared, very little difference between dying?even from what is known as an agonizing death ?and being sent to sleep by an anaesthetic before an operation. It is solely because of this liberation or tne spirit that the weak of will and the ultra-psychical in temperament abandon themselves to the use of drugs like opium and morphine, since the isolation of the mind is sought for. Accordingly heroism in dying is not admitted by those medical men who have made a study of what is known as the physiology of death. Even when the moribund is said to be fully conI sclous and to be preparing his last testament, "despite his great sufferings." as the saying Is, the truth is that his fleshly Ills have censed to trouble his mind, a phenomenon common enough even in such minor kinds of suffering as earache or toothache. The same authorities declare that death by shooting through the brain is the least painful of all deaths, since the passage of a bullet through the brain is far swifter than the action of nerve currents. The centre of feeling in the brain has been destroyed before the pain has had time to register its existence. Again, death that occurs by a fall from a great height is also unfelt by the victim. The respiratory organs cease to work as soon as the fall begins and the action of the heart is stopped almost at once. The dramatic deathbed, says the trained pnysicmn, is mc uuitumc v>? the literaiy man's imaginings. The average person "on the die," as Artemus Ward has it, knows nothing at all about his circumstances; nor is it certain that the very great know any more. Napoleon's last words showed that his mind was wandering. Goethe asked for "more light." although the sun was streaming through the windows. On the other hand. Henry VIII. of England is said to have asked for "Kate." the divorced Arragonese; Charles II. asked for Harry of Monmouth. and apologized for not dying on schedule time. When Louis XIV. was busy dying, his successor. Louis XV., then a tot of three or four years was seated on a footstool near the bed, ~vt...<?lih n /loll "Anrl what is ??? " - ? vour name, little Prince?" inquired a fatherly courtier of the youngster. "'Ouis Qinze" (meaning Louis Quinze), replied the little heir apparent. "Pas encore, mon enfant, pas encore." cried the dying king ("not yet. my child, not yet"). HIGHER EDUCATION. Facilities In This Country Now Good As Anywhere. Xo American need any longer go to any foreign country for a higher education, according to William H. Hurd of New York, who has just returned from Europe, making a special study of the foreign universities. "In my judgment, the United States offers today facilities for collegiate, academical and post-graduate studies equal in quantity and quality to those offered by any country in the Old World," said Doctor Hurd to a Washington Herald reporter. "American educational institutions are the best equipped in the world. There is a steady progress all along the line of public instruction in the United States and particularly in our universities. "The regular reports of German universities will continue to show the attendance of American students. Though their number may not increase materially, still they go. And it is well that they should, particularly those that have in view special studies and investigation in certain lines, for Germany is pre-eminently the land of specialists. "It cannot be denied that German devotion to special work has added immensely to the sum of knowledge. Besides, a year or two spent abroad cannot but prove to be a great blessing to the average American student, not because he needs it to prepare him for his life's work, but because the travel and sojourn in this and other countries are in themselves a liberal education and tend to broaden the mind, widen the horizon, remove the. petty prejudices and supply an indenendent ludement of men and mat-1 ters. "A few semesters at a German university. bringing a young man in touch with the ideas and methods of the great scholars and scientists of that country, as well as with the spirit of the German student's life, is an advantage generally appreciated all through life." !

"Why, it's nothing at all compared to the cold weather we have in the states," said the American. "I can recollect one winter when a sheep, jumping from a hillock into a field, became suddenly frozen on the way and stuck in the air like a mass of Ice." "But, man," exclaimed the Scotsman, "the law of gravity wouldn't allow that!" "I know that." replied the tale pitch? er. "But the law of gravity was frozen. too!"?Tit-Bits.

Searchers found the shattered remains of Fletcher scattered about in the boughs of the willows that grew near the head of the ravine. He had landed in a soft spot, but the concussion had been great enough to set off the second charge of dynamite. The miners buried what they could find of the two bodies, in one grave. Since the death of Fletcher a miner who went to work on his claim, rediscovered the lost ledge and is taking out ore that will run $97.98 in gold. j ing the afternoon ana evening or Christmas Day and became loud and boisterous in their demeanor. Fletcher was good natured and wanted to sing, but Robblns was surly and quarrelsome, and the more dynamite he consumed the more troublesome he became. This finally aroused Fletcher's wrath to such a pitch that he challenged Robblns to a fistic duel. Robbins was staggering slightly and Fletcher finally shot a left hook into the man's ribs. Instantly there was a terrific explosion. The body of Robblns shot through the ceiling as though it had turned into dynamite bomb. The concussion induced by Fletcher's blow had caused Robblns to explode. The tragedy Instantly sobered Fletcher, and he called at a neighbor's cabin, where he told the story and borrowed a lantern, saying he intended to go that night to the nearest peace officer and give himself up for the crime of manslaughter. He was deeply depressed, and this feeling of melancholy must have caused apparatus so that reports may be received from shore and from passing1 vessels. A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT. One of the Weird Yarns From the West. The most extraordinary tragedy ever enacted on the desert took place at Jake Fletcher's cabin on the banks of the Amargosa, near Death Valley, on Christmas Day. The news has just reached civilization, according to a San Bernardino, Cal., letter. Fletcher had been doing well on his claim until recently, when the vein ran out. This left him without money to buy whisky. Thomas Robbins, a bosom friend, who was spending the day at Fletcher's, proposed that they try a dynamite jag. He said he had read of Mexican miners getting drunk by eating dynamite when liquor had failed. Fletcher was incredulous, but expressed his willingness to make the experiment. Between them they consumed three sticks of dynamite dur The master of the ship reported passing the sodden hulk of the schooner Howard Compton of Philadelphia, and pave the latitude and longitude and the hour. The stubbed remains of the foremast were still standing, and the wreck was "dangerous to navigation." In the course of a few hours the message was thrown to the four winds from several of the twenty-three government wireless telegraph stations scattered along the Atlantic and gulf coasts for the information of all vessels equipped with wireless receiving apparatus. Three times a day at enight-hour in tervals, the hours being 6 a. m, 2 p. m. and 10 p. m., wireless messages regarding obstructions to navigation are sent broadcast. A vessel at other times may call up these stations and be equipped with wireless telegraph obtain information. The Seneca will In the course of a few days the Seneca, a vessel built especially for putting these lingering victims of the wrath of Father Neptune out of existence, will go Into commission. This vessel Is the first built for such a purpose in the world. In general appearance she will resemble the ocean-going revenue cutters of the- United States, but will have two funnels to distinguish her from the cutters. She will be provided with torpedoes and guns for firing explosive shells, and powerful towing apparatus for towing any wanderer, not too far gone, into a haven of safety. The government has also found a use for wireless telegraphy in the protection of commerce worn derelicts and icebergs. A few days ago the Hydrographle office in Broad street received a wireless message from the steamship Caracas, which had sailed a couple of days before for Porto Rico. GUARDIAN OF COMMERCE. New Government Vessels Built For Destroying Dangerous Derelicts. No country in the world does so much to protect ocean borne commerce from loss by collision with derelicts as does the United States, says the New York Tribune. For many years It has published a monthly chart of the North Atlantic which includes anions numerous items of useful information for mariners the locations of all derelicts according to the latest renorts. For many years it was the custom to give naval vessels and their, officers and crews an opportunity to see active service by pursuing the elu- J sive derelict with the object of destroying it. The famous dynamite destroyer Vesuvius was among those that used to get a little gun practice with a derelict as the target. For two years the revenue cutter Mohawk has been doing duty as a derelict destroyer, with such success that the November hydrographic chart shows no dere-,1 lict reported more than once, or earlier than September 30. On the old charts it was not unusual to find several reports of the same derelict ranging over a period sometimes of more than o \?oq r i Your Furni CAN BK SU ; Itlilll'S PH We carry the Larges niture in Oak, Mahoga Eye Maple to be seen olina.

There was also a soreness through the regions of the kidneys When the kidney secretions became unnatural in appearance. I concluded that the kidneys were out of order and as I had heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended, I purchased a box. I had not taken all the contents of this box when the pain disappeared and up to the present date, I have had no return of it.
