A new tenement of houses in Edin- | burgh, now in course of erection, was the scene the other day of a remark able incident The building looked as if completed, but the plumbers were busily engaged touching up the roofs and gutters at the top of the house. An apprentice was working lower ?down, at the channel of the eaves of the house, was another plumber hammering away' and whistling toe whilefl, when the apprentice slipped his hold, and' sliding headlong down the slates, looked as if he was to be dashed to pieces among the refuse 8om-3 fifty feet below. Passersby in voluntarily shuddered. Fortunately, however, he came right in the direc tion of his fellow-workman on the edge mt the slates, but, that individual ham mering away did not notice anything amiss till the young man wjis>?*f3st on he brink of the house. JSe?ng unable , .at" the' insf??r^r^??tch the lad with his hands, he plunged his head for ward and grabbed him by the trouser leg with" his teeth. It was only fe* a few seconds that the apprentice was thus suspended, hanging as he was almost.bpdily. over the house, but even the shock might have killed a stronger man. Remedied. Women have a resourcefulness that men can never hope to attain. A .young lady named Kate-was mar ried the other day. When on her honeymoon she had occasion to make some purchases in a shop, and ordered the goods to be sent to her at the Roy al hotel. But in an absent-minded moment she gave her maiden name to the shopkeeper. She had scarcely reached the door, however, when she noted her mistake.

Sick kidneys make bad blood: cause weak, stiff and aching backs; cause blind, sick and dizzy headaches, lack of appetite aud loss of sleep: keep you all tired out and spoil digestion. To have perfect health you must cure the kidneys. Read how one man was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills after eight years of torture. Henry Seule, of Pult ney St.. Hammonds port- N. Y., says: "For eight years 1 suffered constant agony from kidney complaint. 1 endured thc worst tor nre from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and con tained sediment like brick dust. I had. io get out of bcd from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep ! wore me out. Indiges tion came on. and the distress after j eating was terrible.

To many people the taking ot an oath on the Bible is a trifling matter, but to others it is an act of most se rious import, 6ays the Philadelphia Telegraph. It is quite an interesting experience to witness the manner in which men and women prepare to tell "the truth, the whole truth and noth ing but the truth," whether it be in police station, coroner's, civil or crim inal court Policemen carelessly slap a heavy hand on the leaves, Hebrews cover their heads and upraise the right hand before kiding the book, sailors stand at "attention," negroes and foreigners very often fear to touch the Holy Writ, while some un believers contemptuously try to shove tbi^vilume aside. Kissing the boojfc [has bern abolished on acrount^J^anl tary reteons, but many, persons still consider their oaths^io be. more bind ing if they can press moist or tobacco stained lips against germ infected covers. Others "swear not at all," but affirm. A novel experience with a witness about to take an oath befell Attorney ; Gallagher in Judge Sulzberger's court on Tuesday. The cases of seven poeti cal Chinamen who had been faring somewhat better than ordinary poets, because they wrote their couplets on policy slips, were being heard, and Moy Wong was called as the third Ce ? lestial witness for the prosecution. ! Mr. Gallagher, for the defense, chai i lenged the witness* veracity, claiming I that the Chinese did not understand ? nor revernce the Bible enough to take j an oath. Judge Sulzberger differed with him., but the question was set tled by the witness' own words, calm ly delivered in excellent English: "I am a Christian and believe in this book. I am secretary of the Chinese Religious Society also." The lawyer did not have a word to say. The Inci dent provoked the recital of another by a lawyer later in the day. "In New York a woman .arriving here on one of the liners from Ger many a few years ago was arrested upon landing. She was accused of i being the most wicked female crhni j nal in Germany, and had fled the coun j try to escape punishment for being a partner in a conspiracy to murder, i and rob. ! "In her daring career of crime she was said to have committees three murders, had punched the eyes out of a child's head with an umbrella, had robbed continuously, besides acting as a 'fence' for stolen goods, and had been imprisoned on fifty occasions. When detained and taken in court she maintained that, ?he was not the wo man wanted, and swore to the truth of her assertion upon the Bible. When confronted by persons who had known her in early life, sho repeated this oath with blasphemous additions. Still the officers wore not convinced, and finally one of them suggested that 1 she take her oath upon a crucifix in ? stead of upon a Bible. This oath sol emnly calls upon God to witness the truth of the testimony about to be given, and to record it for the Judg ment Day. "When the woman heard this pro posal she paled visibly, and tried to j uphold the little cross in her trem j hiing right hand. But the demand was too much. Shrieking, lamenting, curs j lng. she broke .down and confessed to (a lifetime of evil that shocked even j the hardened officials who were forced to listen to the recital." Cats Kill Intruding Snake. ? A native woman living in Old Cai.o, Kgypt. was entering her house the I other day when to her great terror I she perceived a snake of formidable dimensions, which had taken posses sion of th*? hearth during the owner's ubsence. The '.vornan fled, leaving the door open. Her cat then appeared on the scene, entered, saw the cobra, pnt i up ?ts back and tail, spat and other I wise manifested its hostility, and in turn went out. A few minutes after ward it returned with a second cat. After a similar exhibition both went out und returned with a third, and similarly went away, returning finally with a fourth.

A Wednesday special from Washing ton says: Commissioner of Pensions Ware, with the approval of Secretary Hitch cock, promulgated the most important pension ruling that has been issued in a long lime. It directs that beginning April 13, next, If there is no contrary evidence and all other legal require ments have been met. claimants for pensions under the general act of June 27. 1890, who are over 62 years old shall be constituted as disabled one-half in ability to perform manual labor and shall be entitled to $6 per month; ovei 66 years, $8; over 68 years, $10, and over 70 years, $12. the usual allow ances at higher rates continuing for disabilities other than age. This order will not be retroactive. Commissioner Ware just bet?re leav ing for a trip South for his health said the order would save both the old sol diers and the government a great deal of money and time. He Baid it was based on the Mexican war pension leg islation of 1887, approved by President Cleveland, which placed all the Mexi can war veterans on the pension roll 39 years after the dose of the war. At the expiration of service a Mexican war soldier was entitled to a pension at 62 years, and no other requisite for draw ing a pension should exist except age, that to soldiers of the civil war who fought vastly more and longer, at least as good a rule ought to apply. "The order could not have been Is sued earlier because it is only now that the 39 years fixed by the congressional limit has been reached. The civil war ended April ?.3, 1865. Hence the thirty nine years would expire on the 13th of next month." Mr. Ware said the order would saye the government at least $300,000 a year. He was not able to say what expense the bill would entail in the shape of ad dltional payment's. "The extent to which it will augment the uecessity for further appropriations cannot be told. It will, without doubt, increase the payments to some extent, but no one .'.s able to fix the amount. The bureau has not considered that as the proper element of consideration. I do not think, however, that the in creased expense in the long run will be very noticeable, because the death rate is always to be considered, and there is also to be considered the fact that the ones to whom we give the pen sion without proof other than their ages, would have prove themselves any-, how, under former circurastanceA?*iis entitled to the pension bj^>fe?sou of their disabilities." >^ AloreB^fugees Arrive. Kew JDWC Special.-The Hamburg Amerl#*an liner Blutcher, which ar ^J^Scl here, brought 1,765 steerage pas sengers, the majority of whom were 1 refugees from Russia who fled the country to avoid serving in the army. Many of them gave accounts of their escape across "tneHuSTsan frontier sim ilar to those related by the men who came last week on the Graf Waldersee. Some of them were camped for twr weeks near the frontier walting for a chance to get away, one relator saying 1 that his party, consisting of 127. waited twelve days in a thicket a short dis tance from the line while negotiations were in progress with the customs guards to let them cross the frontier. ; Another said that his party of ten were concealed for four day8 in the hay and straw stacks of the frontier post, where they eventually crossed Into Prussia. It. was said that there are thousands along the frontier walting for a chance to get across without pass ports. Alystcry As to .Whereabouts. Tokio. By Cable.-Tokio ls unad vised regarding the naval plans and movements of the Russians, and ls in doubt whether the remnant of their fleet is still at Port Arthur or is en route to Vladivostock. Late Wednes day afternoon a telegram reached the Navy Department saying that seven Russian ships have been reported as passing Fort Lazareff. The report was nat circumstantial. It did not give the character of the ships or the direction in which they were sailing. It is anticipated that the Japanese, bj their activity, will speedily determine the whereabouts and intentions of the Russians. Cap't. Ivkol Shot. Sr, Petersburg. By Cabio?-Captain Ivkoi. of the Manchurian commissa riat service, has been summarily court-martialed and shot, for acting as a spy in the pay of the Japanese. When arrested on suspicion of espion age documents found in Ivkol's pos session left no doubt cf the charges that he had long been revealing mili tary secrets to the Japanese. The tragic story became public through a simple announcement in the army or gan that Ivkoi had been excluded from the service. E!opd With His Wilt's Sister.

Near Anju they met two small groups of Cossacks. During the party's stay at Ping Yang the Japanese offl ; eia?s requested them to wear badges I bearing the American colors, in order that they may be allowed to leave and enter the. town freely. The party was Rt.07?,'.ed five times by Japanese soldiers, of whom the party saw great numbers along the road to the coast. The Japanese treated them very courte ously. Niws in Notes.

He frightens her, as he doe3 many of th?'grown j ups. despite the fact he is caged safely j behind steel bars, which the strength of many Hons, even if united in intel ligent effort, could not bend or break. But Miss Carnegie's lion is so superb in his strength and his dignity, arid so powerful Lnd in his deep-chested voice, that it is no wonder he strikes terror to the hearts of the timid, safeguarded as he is. Three school* ?fttrfTs in short dresses retr?arg? to the opposite side of the lion house yesterday when the tawny monarch, who had been pacing up and down for an hour, paused., shook his mane, drew in his lips over tho white fanga and began to speak. It was a low, guttural rumble at first, and rose gradually to a roar of such depth and volume that even the bars of the cages vibrated-and they are not Common Steel, at that.-New York An Incorrigible Dog. Th'9 intelligence of the dog suffered somewhat by an Athens narrative in dog owned by F. Holcomb recertly engaged with a rattler on the low grounds near the town, and was se verely bitten. Mr. Holcomb was fa miliar with the formula for snake bites. He had some of the medicine on hand, consisting of whisky and quinine mixed in quantities to suit. Opening the dog's jaws he turned i liberal dose down him. Two or three days elapsed during which the animal was unable to walk straight, yet he seemed not to have any pain, and in fact appeared to enjoy himself. But at last he was sober again. One would naturally think that having bee> bit ten once ho would have foughc shy of the swamp afterward, but the mo ment he was able to navigate he was hack among the boys again watching for more snakes. This is why he seems unintelligent.-Detroit (Mich.) Tribune. Miss Whittaker, a prominent dub woman of Savannah, Ga., tells how she was entirely cured of ovarian troubles by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. DEA3 MKS. PINKHAM : -> I heartily recommend "Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable .Compound as a Uterine Tonic and Regulator.
