Freedom From Kidney Troubles.

Bo cured to stay cured.
. Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting
J cures.
Barre people testify.
Here's one case of it:
Mrs. Anna Gibbs, 31 Brooklyn St.
! Burre, Vt., says: "For over a year '.
i had more or less backache, as the re
suit of disordered kidneys. If I brought
) a strain on the muscles of my back, sharp
pains seized me ana 1 was also an-
i noyed by headaches and dizzy spells
) Whenever I overworked or caught cold,
i my suffering was worse. I had read
I a great deal about Doan's Kidney Tills
and deciding to try them, l procured a
box at Drown's Drug store. Before I
J had finished the contents, the pains in
i my back were relieved and I felt bet
I ter in every way. I am only too glad
! to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills."
j (Statement given Nov. 10, 1905.)
i Re-endorsement.
Mrs. Gibbs was interviewed on May
25, 1911, and she said: "I value Doan's
Kidney Pills as highly as ever and can
still give them my recommendation. I
have had no serious attacks of kidney
trouble since giving my former state
ment." For sale bv all dealers. Price 50 cents,

And the Ancient Mountain Poak
Shrines of the Storm God.
There Is a theory wbicli finds tbe
spire - of the New England meeting
bouse in the mountain peaks of Ara
bia. Tracing back the process of evolu
tion, we come first to London, where
the clean sweep of the great Ore gave
Sir Christopher Wren his opportunity
to experiment In steeples, end then
Venice, where the campanile Is a shin
ing exnmple of, a tower' beside a
church, but separate from it, and then
to Alexandria, where the famous light
house on the isle of Pharos contribut
ed to the religion of Mohammed botb
the form and tbe name of the minaret,
and then to the tower of Babel at
Borslppa and tbe zikknrats of the
temples of Babylonia and Assyria. A
zlkkurat Is a huge quadrangular mass
of brick, rising In diminishing stories
as a child places a big block on tbe
floor and puts a smaller one on It and
on that a smaller still and ascended
by a winding balustxated stair to a
shrine on top.
This, according to tbe theory, was
the ritual equivalent of a mountain.
Into tbe flat lands between the Tigris
and Euphrates came tbe ancestors of
the Babylonians and Assyrians out of
tbe mountains of Arabia. Tbere tbey
hnd worshipped tbe storm god. wbo
dwelt upon tbe belgbts among tbe
clouds, with whom they communed,
like Moses, by climbing up and making
their offerings and saying their pray
ers upon tbe summit And because
tbere were no mountains In tbelr new
country they erected beside every tem
ple a little mountain In tbe yard.
Thus the zlkkurat, and tben tbe min
aret, and tben the campanile and tben
tbe steeple of tbe parish church.

"The Chocolate Soldier," Brightest and
Best of All Operas, Wednesday Night.
Brightest aud best of all light operas
that have filled the American and Eu
ropean continents with their tuneful
echoes since the days of Gilbert and
Sullivan in "The Chocolate Soldier," the
well-known work of Oscar Straus, lead
er of Vienna's musical circles, who has
contrived to embody the spirit of the
romantic comedy-satire, "Arms and the
Man" of (iorga Bernard Shaw in mel
odies that are yet on the lips of mil
lions. Still on the pinnacle of its popular
ity( under the finished presentation of
the Whitney Opera company, "The Choc
olate Soldier" is marching into town to
be reviewed by the theatregoers of this
city at the opera house on Wednesday
night, May 15. At the time of the ar
rival of "The Chocolate Soldier" on the-e
shores three seasons ago, the American
light, operatic field was so over-run with
weeds in the shape of tenth-rate musi
cal shows furnished with shabby music
and paltry plots, that the flower of
Viennese opera might have been expect
ed to droop and wither before audiences
that were flatly prejudiced against any
thing in an operatic guise. A less cour
ageous manager might have hesitated.
The result more than justified his von
ture. New York's most eonseivative and
skeptical critics vied with each other in
doing honor to the lyric fertility of
Straus' genius. The night before the
first American performance of "The
Chocolate Soldier," comic opera was re
garded as a dead issue. The morning
after, every lay and professional de
votee of the theatre saw the dawn of
a new era for light opera on the horizon.
Mr. Whitney and "The Chocolate Sol
dier" had won the battle. The oppor
tunities for a manager to distinguish
himself in presenting the strange for
eign beauties of Bulgarian landscapes
and interiors to a New York audience
are unlimited, and in staging "The Choc
olate Soldier," Mr. Whitney is conceded
to have reached a new high-water mark
for richness and faithfulness of scenic
equipment. The Whitney Opera com
pany is one. tuny capaiue ot meeting
both the dramatic, and operatic demands
nmde upon them by the lively, comedy-
laden libretta taken from Shaw's play
and all the various moods, gay and
grave, satiric and sentimental, in which
Oscar. Straus, couched bis irresistible
melodies. Prominent in the cast are:
Alice Yorke, Juanita Fletcher, Mildred
Rogers, Charles Pun-ell. Francis Boyle,
Blanche ChaM, George O'Donnell, Bessie
Lyons and (ieorge Tallman. j

DYNAMITE ACCIDENTS.
N
Some of the Stuff May Remain After a
Charge Is Exploded.
"It is generally supposed that when
a charge of dynamite has exploded it
is all over that the entire charge bas
been consumed," said a "bard rock"
man wbo bas worked in mines, in river
tunnels and other places where high
explosives are used. "This supposition,
however, is not correct," he continued.
"Sometimes particles of dynamite will
be blown out with the broken rock.
Tben it becomes a menace to tbe work
men. It is a favorite practice of men
who are waiting or resting to sit on a
pile of 'muck,' as the broken rock Is
called, and to Jab into it wltb a pick
or a candlestick or some other steel
thing, much tbe same as a Yankee will
whittle while be talks or thinks. If
the steel strikes one of these bits of
dynamite that has., not gone off, be
cause tbe glycerin In it bas started to
run or because a fragment of it has
been crystallized, tbere will be an ex
plosion. Tbe chances are that not one
of tbe group of men sitting around will
escape injury.
"Another frequent cause of acei
dents is that sometimes wben tbe dy
namite explodes and tears out the rock
a small quantity of it will be left in
the bottom of tbe drill bole, unaffected
by tbe shock. If the drill bole that re
mains happens to be pointed in the
right direction a lazy drill runner Is
likely to take advantage of It and start
bis new bole in the old one In order to
inake a record or save time. The In
stant bis drill commences to thud on
tbe unexploded dynamite it goes off.
THa ct rr I la rlrlvatl Huitlr 4hvttirrH rho
barrel of tbe machine, wrecking it and
usually killing tbe drill runner. This
explains many mysterious deaths that
have been attributed to missed shots. "

Judge for Yourself
When you get ready, to buy a cream separator, don't be
guided by what any separator salesman may claim for his machine.
I don't ask you to take my "say so," either. While I am
absolutely sure that the Do Laval is by all
odds the best machine, that doesn't prove
anything to you. That's why I ask every
intending cream separator buyer to
See and Try a De Laval
You can try any machine, or as many
"machines as you like, alongside the De La
val. All I ask is that you give the De Laval
a fair trial before you place an order for
a cream separator. If the De Laval doesn't
run easier, skim cleaner and isn't easier lo
wash than any other machine, I won't ask you to keep it.
The De Laval wiil talk for itself more convincingly than I
can. Don't you want to give it a trial!

Barring ths Evil Spirits.
Tbe Chinese believe that evil spirits
are able to move only in straight lines
and that tbey cannot penetrate through
solid matter; therefore tbe problem of
keeping them out of a dwelling or a
garden seems to them a simple matter.
On passing through tbe entrance of the
ordinary middle class borne in China it
is necessary to turn to the right or left
because of a fixed screen, tbe purpose
of which, according to Popular Me
chanics, is to keep evil spirits out
Likewise just at tbe back of the en
trance to a walled garden may some
times be found another wall erected
for tbe same purpose.

Corelll said, 'enters beaven with her
eyes sbnL She wbo marries without

Always Ready to Eat and Always
Gorge Themselves Whan They Can.
The Koreans appear to be the great
est eaters In the world. To this the
Japanese, French, English, Dutch, aud
Chinese all bear witness. All reports
concerning the Korean capacity for
food seem to agree. In this respect
there Is not the least difference be
tween the rich and the poor, the noble
Bnd the plebeian. To eat much is an
honor in Korea, and the merit of a
feast. It would seem, consists not so
much In tbe quality as In the quantity
of the food served. Little conversation
occurs during the Korean meal, for
each sentence might lose a mouthful.
A Korean is always ready to eat. He
attacks whatever he meets wltb and
rarely cries "Enough:" Even between
meals be will help himself to anything
ed)e that Is offered.
The ordinary portion of a laborer Is
about a quart of rice, which when
cooked makes a good bulk. This, how
ever, is no serious hindrance to bis de
vouring double or treble the quantity
when he can get It. Eating matches
nre common. When an ox is slaught
ered and the beef is served up a heap
ing bowl of the steaming mess does
not alarm any guest. When fruits,
such as peaches or small melons, are
served It Is said that they are devoured
without peeling. Twenty or thirty
peaches are deemed an ordinary allow
ance per person and rapidly disappear.
Such prodigality in food is. however,
not common, and for one feast there
are many fastings. The Koreans are
neither fastidious In tbeir eating nor
painstaking in tbelr cooking. Nothing
goes to waste. AH Is grist that comes
to the mill in tbelr mouths. .New York
