Mrs. McRaney's Ex;erience. Mrs. M. MeRaney, of Prentiss,Miss., writes: "I was confined to my bed fo: three months with kidney and bladder trouble, and was treated by two physi cians but failed to get relief. No hunar tongue can tell how I sutfered, and] had given up hope of ever getting wel until I began taking Foley's Kidney Remedy. After taking two bottles I fel like a new person, and feel it my dut. to tell suffering women what Foley Kidney Remedy did for me." W. E Brown & Co. A MENTAL FRENZY. Some of the Things a Man Saw In Dc Uirium Tremens. Charles Roman gives a record of his own experiences as a victim of delir ium tremens. It is a remarkable psy chological document, comparing favor ably in interest and as a piece of writ ing with De Quincey's "Confessions of an Opium Eater." Following is a brief extract which gives some suggestions of the things the patient saw: "Up to this point the zoological vis itations had been intermittent. Dur ing the next few days, however. I saw all that I could stand. I saw such pre historic creatures as exist nowhere ex cept in museums. I saw rats as they marched past my door or flew through my windows or floated in my tub. Elephants strode in and out with lum bering steps and swaying trunks. At times they seated themselves and taunted me with their thunderous bel lows or their ear splitting screeches. They flaunted their snouts high in the air and guawed. Monkeys jumped from limb to limb in the trees outside my room. Snakes of all colors, of all descriptions, reptiles with fantastic figures upon their backs and with eyes of sapphire or ruby or of milk white marble, wriggled upon the floor or crept in:orjout of heretofore unseen crevices in the'walls and dropped into the water in my tub. They swam around and around me, squirming un der me, with their tongues darting in and out with ferocious activity. Gi raffes craned their necks around the doorways or through the windows, chickens roosted over my head and cackled, dogs and wolves ran around the room barking and snapping, pi geons flew from one corner to another and cooed. Lions I heard roaring, and tigers I saw while they opened their mouths, like huge cats, in silent, angry disapproval, licking their whiskers and wetting their paws softly and daintily-this and far more. "I saw crocodiles in droves. Fat, scaly, glistening beasts they were, with frothy, foaming jaws, long, sweep ing tails, crouching upon or creeping along the foot of my bathtub or my bed and grinding their yellow teeth in gluttonous anger as they contemplated me, their prey. I saw the reeking, slippery body of a crocodile slide into 'the water of my tub. Then as I shrank in breathless horror to escape I saw his greedy, filmy eyes arise to the surface, with his cold, foul chin flush with mine. His icy beak touch ed my.cheek. The hot vapor from his iungs seared iy flesh. I turned as cold as ice and trembled jike a leaf in a storm."-American Magazine. GENESIS OF FEAR. Gray Cells ' of Our Brains Stamped With2 Ancient Terrors. Theaverage man would sooner face a 20 ound uman antagonist than a fifty pound dog which he could choke to death in three minutes.

They tell of the days when man was not the master of the earth nor even ahighly considered citizen of the same, but a runaway subject of the meat eating monarchs, whose scepter was tooth and claw, a humble plebeian in the presence- of the horned and hoofed aristocrats of woods '.nd fields.

GREAT VALUE OF CEREALS. Why People Can Eat Bread at Every Meal Without Getting Tired of It. The Fruits of the Burning Tropics and the Fats of the Frozen Arctic. Modern science has shown that na ture provides food for mankind with marvelous care and foresight. The hu man system. requires a certain amount of proteid daily to replace wornout muscle and tissue. Fish and meat sup ply this in large quantities. In hot climates, however, these spoil so quick ly that their use is limited. Nature, as if to compensate for this, has given to certain tropical fruits a much larger quantity of proteid than northern fruits contain. Thus government analysis shows that figs have five units or calo ries; to the ounce, dates two and five tenths and bananas one and five-tenths. Apples have five-tenths, peaches nine tenths and pears seven-tenths. Prob ably the figs and dates tested had lost part of their moisture, and some allow ance should be made for this. The Arab can, therefore, maintain his vigor on a diet chiefly plucked from trees. Henry M. Stanley and his white companions subsisted almost entirely on banana flour for two years in the African jungle. Their freedom from disease was in part attributed to the wholesomeness of this diet. The dried banana contains 20 per cent of proteid, about double that of ordinary wheat flour. At the opening of the mango season in Jamaica many of the natives prac tically live on this fruit for two or three weeks. They fairly revel in it. n Englishman who was familiar with the science of diet could not under stand how they could not only main tai n their health on this fare, but actually grow sleek and fat. He knew that an effort to live on the fruits of his native country would result in weakness, sickness and eventual death. Chemical analysis showed, however, that the mango contained enough pro teid to supply the bodily needs. If nature has been thus kind in adapting food to man's uses, she has been equally so in adapting man to his food. You may have wondered why people can eat bread at every meal without tiring of it. The difficulty of eating one quail a day for thirty days is well known. Even such delicacies as asparagus and strawberries cause an aversion when served too frequently. Nature sends men a never-failing ap petite for cereals because they are alto gether the most valuable of foods. They contain a considerable amount of proteid, their salts are of importance to the organism, they are readily di gested when properly cooked, and they furnish a great deal of nourishment in small bulk. Thus wheat flour, cornmeal, oatmeal (dry) and rice (dry) have more than 100 units to the ounce. Baked potatoes have 32.7 units, cabbage has' 9.2, spin ach 7, asparagus 0.5, apples 18.4, straw berries 11.4, spring chicken 19.5 and tnderloin of beef broiled 5.9. If a man tried to get even half of his nutrition from the coarse vegetables, which have a considerable indigestible residue, he would hare to eat pounds of them daily, and his stomach would be sadly overburdened. Nature gives us the de sire for a varied diet, and science shows that this is altogether the best for us. In the arctic regions there is littie vegetation- Man must live almost wholly on animal foods. Fish and meat would not suffice, because they contain only proteids. These would- re place wornout muscle and tissue, but could not be burned in the body to generate heat and energy. Fats, how ever, consist of carbon and hydrogen, which are the chief components of the foods of vegetable origin and supply the fueel needed by the body. The po lar animals have fat in abapdance, but resients of the temperate and torrid zones can eat it only in limited quan tities. To them the mere thought of chewing chunks of grease is nause ating. The children of the frozen north, however, are endowed not only with the ability to eat and to digest large quantities of fat, but with a keen ap petite for it. One who is sensitive to such impressions must turn away when he sees the natives of southern Alaska. the Thlinkits. swvallowing .seal oil flavored by salmon berries with the gusto of~ a boy over ice cream.

"Forgive me, my dear,"' said the gos sip humbly, "but I thoughtlessly men tioned to Mrs. Brown the things that you told me in strict confidence."~ "There is nothing to forgive." replied the wise woman pleasantly.

In a book published by Hector Fleischman in Germany the story of the origin of the instrument of execu tion which was named for Dr. Guillo tin in the days of the reign of terror is flatly denied. "There is no truth in the story, so long believed," he says, "that the genial old physician invented the machine which was named for him and by means of which he is said to have lost his life shortly after its adop tion. Guillotin. in keeping with the spirit of his time, proposed on Oct. 10, 17S9, that all ofenders, regardless of their birth or station, should be dealt with alike by the law, and, six months later he proposed to the 'government that convicted murderers should be beheaded by means of a simple appara tus. The mechanism of which he and no- one else had any idea at that time was spoken of as the 'simple appara tus' by the humorists of the day, and the phrase was used to make its pro poser ridiculous, so that when a ma chine finally was adopted the wits of the time named it guillotine. The gov ernment. evidently recognizing the val ue of the suggestion. asked one An toine Louis, a surgeon at the Salpe triere, to devise a machine and later gave a similar'order to a carpenter by the name of Guidon. who offered to construct an instrument for decapita tion for 5,660 livres. This was consid ered too high a price, and the contract was given to a German cabinetmaker by the name of Tobias Schmidt, who received S24 livres for the accepted model in 1792. Schmidt made guillo tines for all the provinces, and the in dustry brought him a moderate for tune, which he. proceeded to squander in Paris, while Dr. Guillotin. who nev er had anything to do with the making of a machine which bore his' name, continued to practice his profession quietly and unostentatiously in Paris until he died there on March 2G. 1814." PAYING FOR A MEAL It Was Worth About a Shilling to Pick Those Bones. Colonel Ebenezer Sproat of Revolu tionary fame was born and brgd in Middleboro, Mass. He was always fond of a joke and was quick to seize an opportunity to indulge his propen sity as the following incident illus trates. His father, also a Colonel Sproat. kept a tavern. One day while Ebenezer was at home on a furlough three private soldiers. on their return from th'e seat of war. called for a cold luncheon. Mrs. Sproat set on the tabl' some bread and cheese with the remnant:. r.f the family dinner, which her an thought rather scanty fare for hungry men. He felt a littl' vexed lta: the defendirs of the eu::try were net more bountifully supplied. The sol diers, after satisfying their appetites. asked him how much they should pay. Ebene:er said he would ask his moth er. lie found her in the kitchen. "Mother." he said. "how much is it werth to. pick those bones?" "About a shilling. I guess." she an swered. TIe young ofic.?er returned to the sol diers and. taking from the barroom till 3 shillings and smiling genially upon them, gave each man one arnd with good w ishes sent them on their way. Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and aked Ebenezer what he had done with the mcney for the soldiers' dinner. In aprent amazement he exclaini ed: "Monr' Did I net ask you what it w as worth to pick those boues. and you said a shilling? I thought it little e'-ough, for the bones were pretty bre. and I handed the men the money from the till, and they are gone." Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to rrovo her favorite son for this mis inerpretationl of her words, and then she, too, loved a joke, and so, after an instant's lunm look, she langhed and said it was all right H-ad Seen ?:hem All Bafore. Once while James Whitcomb Riley was visiting a town where he was booked to give a regding a committee called to take him in 'a carriage over the city. In acknow'ledgintg the com piment he said: "I'11 go with you, gentlemen, provid ed you promise that you will not show me' the new courthouse, the new town hal, the .new bridge, the new school building and-the new jail, for I've seen them all a hundred times in as many towns. and they invariably wear ipe out before the time arrives for the curtain to rise on the evening enter tainment." Influence of Mountains. The influence of the mountain is pure and holy, giving strength and simplic 'ity, encouraging the older virtues. dis couraging the newer vices. In the hill men of Wales we see this clearly enough. Go where you will among the wilder and more mountainous parts of Wales and you will find that rare in dependence and self reliance which are Inot marred by a curiously defiant dis courtesy. You find there those that are truly "nature's gentlemen."-Lon don Standard. A Good Reason. One day Mary was found standing on a chair in front of the mirror, gaz ing at her pretty image.

According to the Indian tradition, scalping arose in this wise: Hundreds. perhaps thousands, of years ago, when all the Indians in the world were of one tribe and under one chief, there arose a dispute in the tribe as to who should succeed the old chief, who had just died without Issue. There were two principal aspirants to the honor, each having a considerable fol lowing. The dispute finally ended with strife and war, and for the first time in the history was "brothers' blood shed by brothers." The chief of one of the factions had a beautiful daughter, and one of the bravest warriors was a suitor for her hand. Her father consented to the match on one condition--that the young brave should journey to the camp of the enemy, many miles away through the deep snow, kill the chief, his rival, and return with some unmis takable token of his death. In spite .of the snow and the distance, the young man immediately set out on his journey and, after lying in ambush for several days. finally entered the camp, boldly attacked the chief in his tent, sle' him and cut off his head. Next n.,,rning the murder was dis covered. and the tribe set off in hot pursuit. Little by little they gained upon the fleeing warrior, who in his anxiety to elude his pursuers cast away all his impediments. to his very clothing, retaining only his stone knife and the trophy which was to win him his bride. His pursuers gained rapidly until finally so near did they come he could hear them on his trail. His grewsome burden grew heavier and heavier, and as a last resort be whipped out his knife, stripped the scalp from the head of the dead man and, thus lightened of his load, reached his own camp in safety, presented to his chief the token of his prowess and was wed, amid great rejoicing, to the damsel of his choice. From thenceforth he was permitted to wear an eagle's feather in his cap, and to this day the eagle's feather re mains the sign of the successful war rior, the number he displays depending upon the number of scalps he has tak en.-Chicago Record-Herald. He Explained. At a school one day a teacher, hav Sing' asked most of his pupils the dif ference between an island and a penin sula without receiving a satisfactory answer, came to the last boy. "I can explain It, sir," said the bright youth. "First get two glasses. Fill one with water and the other with milk. Then catch a fly and place it In the glass of water. That fly is an Island, because it is entirely surround' ed by water. But now place the fly in the glass of milk, and It will be a peninsula, because it is nearly sur rounded by water." The boy went to the top of the class. Woods Liver Medicine i-2 liquid form regula tes the liver relieves sick headache. constipa tion, stomach, kidney disorders and acts as a gentle laxative.

A gourmet as he mixed a salad of chicory said: "The world's queerest salad, and possibly its most delicious one, is eaten by the Inoits of northwest Greenland. It is a salad of undigested moss from the stomach of a fresh killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, stim ulating salad, as good for the diges tion as an electrical massage. The Inits live almost exclusively on fish; hence salads are a favorite dish with them. But no salad in their minds compares with that which they wrest from the slaughtered reindeer. They say this salad is crisper, tenderer and more appetizing than any other, and they say it wards off indigestion. They fight for it, they spend their last penny on it, quite as the Indians do with frewater."-Exchainge. Matrimony.
