Ill.-Dear Sirs:- -I have sutlered mor'e than twenty years from indiges tion. about ei hteen months aao I had grown so much worse that I could not retain anything on my stomach. I had lost 25 ibs: in fact I made up my mind that I could not live but a short time when a friend of mine recommended Kodol. I consented to try it to please him and was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years. Kodol did it. I keep a bottle constantly. and write this hoping that humanity may be benefited.

He Frightened and Enraged the Great Diva by His Strange Whims, and When She Finally Sang For Him In Munich It Drove Him Wild. When Patti was in the first heyday of her fame Ludwig II., the mad king of Bavaria, set his heart on having her sing for him at his private auditorium In Munich. He wrote letter after let . ter, begging, imploring, offering ex travagant sums of money, but Patti resolutely refused to go. She had heard too many stories of Ludwig's freaks and was desperately afraid of him, but at last the king offered her a sum so enormous that it seemed ridiculous to refuse it Then the singer plucked up courage and started for Munich. When she and her maid alighted at the sta tion not even a carriage was there to meet them, and they had to inquire the name of the best hotel and call a cab. That was the first shock to the diva's nerves and temper. After luncheon she started out to see the town and inci dentally to examine the posters an nouncing Europe's greatest singer. Not a mention of her name could she find. She rushed back to the hotel and told her maid to pack the trunks. Just at that moment a resplendent officer delivered a letter from the king. The letter stated curtly that his maj esty would wait for her at 7 o'clock precisely in the royal palace, where his singer in ordinary, Mme. Fischer, would give her further directions. Mme. Fischer would also sing with hime. Patti the duets which his maj esty wished to hear. A programme was inclosed. Patti wept with rage. "I have never been treated so bru tally," she said. "I shall leave at once. Tell the king so. I will not sing neve; never, never!" The officer plead*X with the irate prima donna. His isajesty had been wild with ex citement ever since he knew she would come and had not slept for three nights, so great was his joy at the prospeet of hearing her. "Beskes," added the officer, "you know gbur king Is-is-is" "Casy," snapped Patti. "Yes, that's very comforting, Isn't it? I don't know why I ever came." Just than she caught sight of this postscript: "The king commands Mine. Patti to appear in pure white, without any color whatever, and not by any means -to wear a satin gown, but soft wooL. Silk is painful to his majesty." "His majesty will have to be pained. I have no white woolen gown except my peignoir. I shall wear red velvet." "Red!" groaned the officer. "Oh, no, no! Red sends his majesty into fits. If you appear in red, he will scream and have convulsions. Oh, do be pa tient, madame! I will bring Mmne. Fischer to you. She understands the king's nerves. She will explain." He fled from the room, and slho-tly after Mmne. Fischer appeared upon the scene. She soothed Patti into good humor and also attacked the white wool peignoir and transformed it into a most becoming Greek robe. -Before 7 the royal carriage arrived at the hotel and Patti went to the pal ace. She was led through dimly lighted rooms and corridors into Lud wig's private theater, which was in utter darkness save for the moonlight that entered through the windows. -Patti stood upon the dark stage, while an orchestra, somewhere out of sight, began a soft prelude. Through the gloom she could just make out a white face in the royal box opposite the stage. Not another auditor was in the great hall. ,Patti felt the cold shivers creeping over her. She shook with nervousness and fear, and wheu she should have begun her aria not a sound could she make. She opened her mouth, but her throat was paralyzed from nervous terror. There was a pause. The king sprang up and leaned forward out of the box, his white face gleaming in the moonlight. The violins repeated the prelude. Patti gathered herself to gether and made one heroic effort. Her voice rang out into the great empty place, and the king sank back into the dark box. Patti, though badly scared, made the effort of her life and finished the aria from "La Traviata" triumphantly and stood flushed with victory. Dead si lence. Not a sound came from the gloom before her. She went off the stage in a temper. Mmne. Fischer was behind the scenes, and Patti waited .with her for the signal to sing the next number. A messenger appeared at the door. His majesty had had enough music and had gone to his apartmnents. For a moment Patti stood stunned. Then she laughed. The rudeness was so colossal that it was funny. Mmne. Fischer took the diva to supper and then home. The next morning Mmne. Fischer called at the hotel once more, accom panie4 by the court chambertin; who bore the promised check aa? autograph -letter' of thank., froZm the king and some jewels of great value. King 'Ludwig. Mine. Fischer said, was in one of his maddest moods, wild with re gret, parsing himself and cursing Pat ti. He had walked the floor all night. groaning that he was a traitor, for Patti's voice had so ravished his senses that for one moment he had gone over to Italian music and had been false to LWagner, the one musician who alone had satisfied his majesty's soul. "That was better than having bored 'him,'' added Patti, shrugging her shoul klers. There is one preparation known to day that will promptly help the stom ach. This is Kodol. ~Kodol digests all classes of food. and it does it thorough lv, so that the use of Kodol for a time will without doubt help anyone who has stomach disorders or stomach trou ble.

The Tipping Up of the Earth Caused the Deluge Which Engulfed the World-The Mysterious Ark and the Escape of the Chosen Few. To this day the great deluge recorded in the Bible is a mystery to the North American Indian. lIe will not be led to believe that the flood was brought about by the sins of man. Ile is equally unwilling to believe that it was the work of an angry God, as he could not see how the Almighty should be so unjust as to punish the Indians of America for the naughty things of a race of people across the ocean. An other reason which makes it still more dinicult for the Indian to believe that the flood was a punishment to the world is the fact that with him there is no sin. In his language there is no such word, nor does he expect to be punished for any of his acts. But though there is no equivalent to the word sin in the Indian language (nor in the Indian mind until the Christians came), the Indians have their philosophy in regard to what is commonly so termed. Some of their teachers (most of whom claimed to have been, taught the philosophy of life and its laws directly by disem bodied spirits or by ethereal beings from other planets) taught that as man lives here so is his life hereafter. If he Is quarrelsome or warlike here. so he will be in the more spiritual life. If he is serene and contented here, so he will be there, etc. The deluge, as described by the few who were miraculously saved, was the more grandly terrible in that it came on suddenly. From the highlands oc cupied by the Indians they saw the waves of the sea sweep in upon the land and recede, only to advance with immensely increased volume and stu pendously huge breakers. Then there came a terrific storm that seemed to blow from all and in all directions. The storm caused huge waterspouts which appeared over the wild ocean as far as the eye could see. The terri fied people fled to the mountains, but these were all soon to be submerged, with the exception of one. This moun tain which alone remained uncovered by the flood is called Avee-helah (Mountain of the Moon), yet today It is not a very high mountain. For awhile before the mountains be came submerged there was a great calm, and a dense fog covered the earth. Then suddenly a mighty boat appeared to the awed view of the In dians. It approached and stopped at the several mountains still uncovered by the waters, and at each point where it touched, as if guided by invisible In telligence, the Indians, as if obeying an unspoken but potent command, en tered the boat The boat rested first at a place called Avee-qua-lul (mountain peak), now Pi lot K~nob, on the border of Mexico. There was a mesa on the top of this mountain, though at this day it does not exist, and on this mesa the Indians frst celebrated their delivery. This they did by playing sacred games. chanting sacred songs, etc. On rocks at the foot of this peak there are hiero glyphics in an unknown language, which some of the Indians believe were made by ..nose who survived the flood. Petrified driftwood is still to be seen two-thirds the distance up the sides of Avee-heilah, which drift, the Indians say, was deposited by the waves of the great flood. The Indians, having rested for a time on the mountain peak, again entered the boat and were carried eastward, eventually to a small valley. Hlere they again rested, and then, leaving the boat, they wandered from one place to another, -after a time retur-ning to the valley. To their surprise, the boat was gone. It could noit have floated away, for the land was dry whereou they had left it, the flood havIng sub sided after a great calm of Its waters. The boat could not have crumbled to pieces, for there had not been time for Its decay. They could only conclude that the mysterious boat, having ful filled its mission of preserving a few of their race, had disappeared as mi raculously as It had -appeared. The spot where the mysterious boat, or ark, had rested was marked by the Indians placing there a huge log. They called the place Qual-jo-para (boat's resting place). This spot is held sacred by the Indians, who will seldom point it out to strangers. Not many hundred years ago, it Is said, some Indian war riors were passing the spot, and one of them to show his skepticism shot an arrow into the side of the great log. Immediately a stream of blood gushed from the spot piercedI, and the skeptic el dead. The story of the event wvas carried to all the near tribes, and since then Indians passing the place fear to even look leisurely at the log. A reason given by the Indians as the probable cause of the flood was that .-ee as a tribe of Indians who, like Columbus, believed that the earth was not flat, but round, and to prove wheth er this theory were true thousands fronm the different tribes banded togeth er and started out on a journey to find the edge of the earth If it was flat. The flood occurred soon after the In dians started on this journey, so that they really believed that those adven turers had reached the edge of the earth and their weight had tipped the earth to such an extent as to cause the water to rush in on the land-Los An geles Times.

One Makes a Good Barometer, Another a Weathercock. Fishes have beein isti to many queer uses whiie st ill aliv, but probably the strange:t was that s'ggested to the war tdepartient by an inventor. The propulsion of sub:narac torpedoes was the subject under discussion. and he proposed that a siharik lxe imprisoned in a tube at the tear end of the projec tile, its novcme::;s to Le controlled by , the active applicati)n of electricity. In cage till' shar:: :-tempted to swim away it was to i:^ given an electric shock and In this vasy kept on its course until the .irpedo had reached its target. Another remarkable use to which a fish has been put is as a barometer. The leach is very susceptible to atmos pheric changes, and when retained in an aquarium is likely to throw itself out at the approach of or during any remarkable change of wind or weath er, or if in a pond or stream will some times jump on the bank. It has been kept alive in aquaria as a living ba rometer from the supposition that cer tain movements indicate particular changes that are about to occur in the weather. In Russia the dead body of Cottus gobio, the millers thumb, is used as a weathercock. Hung by a single thread, it will point to the direc tion whence the wind blows.-Minne apolis Journal. MULES OF MEXICO. They Are Even More Knowing Than Our Own Meek Brand. "Everybody knows that all mules are brainy, but the mules of old Mex ico have something on other mules for a sort of prescience of their own," said a man who has spent many years in thy neighboring republic. "A Mexican mule will do just so much work and not a blamed bit more. "The riding mule, for instance, is fully aware of the distance, down to a rod, he is supposed and required to traverse in the progress of one travel ing day, and all the sharp sticks or goads or dynamite on earth won't get him to do a bit more than what he knows to be the correct distance. The Mexicans have got a peculiar saying in connection with this characteristic of the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex ican. for instance, how far It is by mule back to such and such a point. 'Two days' journey if you are not rushed, but three days if you are in a hurry,' the Mexicr.n will reply. "His meaning is that if you don't ask more of your mule than you should ask of him, the mule will be able to make the trip in two days. But if you attempt to drive the brute he'll soldier on you, and #n ceauet ?e *b. f9ur ney will take you three daTe'-Br change. The Deoeased Wife's Sister. The law against marrying a deceased wife's sister, which caused so much discussion in England, grew out of the incient tribal law forbidding~ a fa ther to sell more than one daughter to the same man when the Briton was emerging from polygamy and when for 21 shillings of the present money a man might dismiss his wife or kill her if she would not go. As civil law it was to protect the living wife and knit tribes closer together by inter marriage. When ecclesiastical law be came supreme a misreading of some Scripture text was used to put the sister of a man's wife among the pro hibited degrees' of relationship. This was the act of 1541 (32 Hlenry VIII): 'A man may not marry his deceased wife's sister or her - daughter, but he may marry his first cousin."-Londonl Standard. Brittle Lizards.

As soon as they perceive the invader there is a great commotion. They dart hither and thither so quick ly that the eye can scarcely follow their movements.

ManZan Pile Remedj REiEESWHNOTER yI A DISPLAY OF QUICK WIT. The American Saved His Pride and Observed Russian Etiquette. The Yankee and the Russian story is again on its grand rounds, but as all attempts to name the original Yankee bare failed, says London M. A. P., t is safe to pin the anecdote to any prominent American who may have visited St. Petersburg. The Russian has been identified as the Grand Duke Constantine, younger brother of the Czar Alexander I., and the incident occurred about 1810. The Yankee went out for a walk in March. when the snow was melting after sudden rain. The street was a maze of puddles, divided into sections by narrow ledges of snow at the cross ings, over which pedestrians carefully felt their way. The Yankee was just in the middle of such a snow bridge when he recog-i nized the Grand Duke Constantine ap proaching in the opposite direction. The path being too narrow for two persons to pass, the grand duke being accustomed to every one getting out of his way, the Yankee being too courte ous to turn his back on a brother of ( the czar to return whence he came and too proud to step servilely into the slush for a mere prince of the royal blood-such was the contretemps. Quick as a flash our American whipped out his purse, presented it to Constan-ine and asked, "Even or odd?" "Even." replied the astonished prince. "You win!" said the Yankee and stepped off into a puddle half a leg deep. Constantine, highly pleased by this peculiarly American proceeding, men tioned it to the czar, and our Yankee was invited to dine at the palace next A Sure-enough Knocker. J. C.

Never address a strange lady at her door without re moving your hat" "Yes'm." And off went the hat "Now, then, as I was saying" "Take your hands out of your pock ets.

Are Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, ESyron and Shakespeare Bores? "We had the notion of doing some thing of the kind," the Easy Chair confessed when requested to furnish a list of the hundred best authors, "but we could not think of more than ten or a dozen really first rate au thors, and. if we had begun to com pile a list of the best authors we should have had to leave out most of their works. Nearly all the classics would have gone by the board. What havoc we should have made with the British poets! The Elizabethan dram atists would mostly have fallen under the ban of our negation to a play if not to a man. Chaucer, but for a few poems, is impossible; Spenser's. poetry is generally duller than presidential messages; Milton is a trial of the spirit in three-fourths of his verse; Wads worth is only not so bad as Byron, who thought him so much worse; Shakespeare himself when he is rever enty supposed not to be Shakespeare is reading the martyrs; Dante's science and polities outwecigh his poetry a thousandfold, and so on through the whole catalogue."-William Dean How ells in Harper's Magazine.

These time sections, as they are called, were introduced in the year 1883, chiefly for the benefit of the railroads, and are known as the eastern, central, mountain and Pacific. The eastern section extends from the Atlantic coast to an irregular line drawn froin De troit to Charleston, S. C.; the central includes all between this line and an other extending from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio Grande river; the mountain extends from here to the western boundary of Montana, Idaho. Utah and Arizona, and the 1 ific in cludes all the remainder of we coun try to the Pacific coast. The difference in time between ad joining sections is one hour, so that when it Is 12-o'clock in New York city it Is 11 o'clock at Chicago, 10 o'clock at Denver and 1i o'clock at San Francisco. The true local time of any place is slower or faster than the standard time, according as the place is west or east of the time meridian. Thus the local time at Boston is sixteen minutes faster than eastern standard time, while at Buffalo it is sixteen minutes slower.-Harper's Weekly. WINNING A COAT. The Clever Scheme That Was Worked by a French Thief. A Frenchman had been attending the Comedie Francaise, and after the per formance he took a gloomy byway in order to make a short cut to the Bou levard Montmartre. He noticed as he hastened through the dark a slight tug on his coattail, but to :this he paid no attention. When he reached the bright boulevard, however, he found, to his great mortification, that one tail of his clawhammer coat had been cut off. He notified a journalist of his loss, and the next morning an account of the odd theft appeared in the Figaro. That afternoon a man in a blue uniform called on him. "I come, monsieur," the man said, "from the bureau of police. We have captured a suspicious character who had In his pocket a piece of fine black cloth. Let me have your mutilated coat, sir. If the piece fits it, we will know that we have apprehended the man who robbed you." The other surrendered his coat, and from that day to this he heard no more about It. The pretended official was. of course, the thief, who had adopted that aduacious means of getting the coat in order to atach to it the pur loined tail. Who Knows? Alice toiled slowly up the stairs, pa per and pencil in hand, ready to ask questions of the first person she en countered.
