Women as Weil as Men
*
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
CUNNING COYOTES.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be bom
^ afflicted with weak kid-
1=^- 1 neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, v/hen the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
ihe difficulty is kidney trouble, and the fitst
Step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

One instance is known in which Old
Glory’s shame is the crown of a fam
ily’s prestige. At the* battle of Bla-
densburg the American troops were
defeated by the British under the com
mand of an Irish officer named Boss.
In recognition of his services in win
ning this victory his sovereign granted
him the title of Boss of Rladensburg,
and to his crest was added an Amer
ican flag, reversed, with the shaft
broken. The title is hereditary. In
our generation the possessor is a colo
nel of the Irish fuslleers. And this
Rose of Bladensburg uses as bis crest
today our stars and stripes turned up

Metallic Metaphors.
“It Is most amazing,” said a metal
lurgist, “bow the world relies on met
als for its metaphors and similes.
Thus, an orator is silver tongued or
golden mouthed. An explorer is
bronzed by African suns. A resolute
chap has an iron will. A sluggard
moves with leaden feet. An ostrich
has a copper lined stomach. A million
aire has tin. A swindler is as slippery
as quicksilver. A borrower has brass.”

Tha Muskellunge.
The Indian name of this great fighter
of the fresh water lakes and tributa
ries Is “esoxmasquinongy.” Our nat-
orallsts have the word translated Into
about eight or nine different styles, but
the correct way of spelling it in our
language is undoubtedly “muskel
lunge.” Most fishermen, however,
pronounce and spell it to'suit them
selves, and no man seems to be an ac
cepted authority. It is one thing in
Oanada, another In the St. Lawrence
and another in the great lakes. The
favorite among New Yorkers Is ”mus-
callonge.” The fish reaches a length
of seven and a half feet, and the big
gest ever taken is said to have
weighed ninety-two pounds. In game
ness it is said to surpass the tarpon
of the Caribbean and the tuna of the
Pacific.- New York Press.

through the medium of advertisements
inserted in obsmre country papers
and especially those of ancient cathe

Of course few of the fiddles thus ob
tained are veritable masterpieces, but
a great many of them are tine exam
ples of early English ami foreign mak
ers. and they are often boughjt for ri
diculously small prices by a group of
experts, who have brought the busi
ness to a lucrative system. Many a

newspaper of the week that good
prices are given for old fiddles, and
some long forgotten instrument in a
lumber room or put away on a shelf
suddenly tomes to mind.
Correspondence follows. The dealer
sends-a deposit in order that some fid
dle spoken of may lie sent to him and
examined, and he usually replies that
the instrument sent is dilapidated and
but so-so generally, but that he Is will
ing to give .'iO shillings or £2 for It. In
a great many cases the offer is ac

of the finest fiddles extant of the sec

ers. Only lately a cello that came
from a Shropshire farm at the price
of £2 sold the same day to a west

A SILLY TRAGEDY.
Tha Duel Between Tom Porter and
Sir Henry Bellaeie.
Some of the royalists who were
forced to endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dullness of life under a Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
As they could compass, so that Ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up
the history of their days.
Tom Porter was of a family which
had zealously served the king. Under
the new government bis occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event. This was a duel
which he fought with his friend, Bir
Henry Bellasis, and whleh, says Pepys
In his “Diary,” is worth remembering
for “the silliness of the quarrel, * • • a
kind of emblem of the general com
plexion of the whole kingdom.”
But, sidy as the quarrel undoubtedly
was, it carried in it an element of heart
break.
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, “being merry in company.”
To a Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him a blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him a box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved
to be seriously hurt, so be called Por
ter, kissed and bade him fly.
“For,” said he, “Tom, thou bast hurt
me, but 1 will make shift to stand upon
my legs till thou mayest withdraw, for
I would not have thee troubled for
what thou bast done.”
Porter profited by his friend’s gener
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died a few days later, and Pepys con
cludes, “It is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple of
fools that killed one another out of
love.”
Spying on Bargain Gifts.
The engaged girl was found study

“I don’t expect to buy anything,” she
said, “but I want to see If anybody I
know buys anything. A lot of auc
tioneers are advertising that they have
on hand bric-a-brac and pictures and
odds and ends of furniture suitable
for wedding presents. That set me to
wondering if any of my friends would
try to avail themselves of these auc
tion room bargains when buying pres
ents for me. I saw two girls here this
afternoon who have been Invited to
my wedding. One bought some kind
of a brass bowl, another a vase. They
got the things dirt cheap. I fancy they
are for me. If they are—well, Just
wait lill those girls get married!”—

THE TRAIN BELL ROPE.
How It and the Conductor’a Supremacy
Came to Be Establiahed.
Although tin re t.'ies not seem to L«*
anything in common lietween pugilism
and railroad rules, yet the adoption of
the familiar lu ll rope that stretches
through every . nr of the modern train
was the result <>f a fistic encounter. At
the same time and by the issue of the
same combat the supremacy of tberon-
ductor in railroad travel was ordained.
It was Philadelphia which gave both
to the world.
One of the oldest railroads In the
country is the Philadelphia, Wilming
ton and Baltimore, now known as the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, which was opened in 1837. The
terminus in Philadelphia was at Broad
and Prime streets—Prime street now
being known as Washington avenue—
and after crossing the Schuylkill river
at Gray’s Ferry tin* route ran along the
Delaware river on what is now the
Chester line of the Beading railway.
The first schedule contained one pas
senger train, which went to Baltimore
one day and came back the next, which
was considered a remarkable feat in
rapid travel. When a train a day each
way was placed in service the peopb-
of the two cities served concluded that
the acme of convenience in transporta
tion had been readied.
Next to the president of the railroad
the mod important functionaries were
the engineer ami conductor. It was a
question whether or not the head of
the line was not considered a subsidi
ary officer in popular estimation to the
men who ran the train, but Boliert
Fogg, who pulled the throttle, and
John Wolf, who collected fares, won
the deference of the public liecause of
their high and responsible duties.
Fogg, an Englishman, had all the
tenacity’ of opinion of his race. Wolf,
an American, had the ingenuity of the
Yankee and, seeing the need of some
method by which lie could communi
cate with the engineer, devised the
scheme of running a cord through the
cars to the locomotive. As the engine
was a wood burner. Wolf fastened one
end of the cord to a log, which was
placed on the engineer’s seat and was
pulled to the floor when the conductor
desired to signal for a stop.
Fogg resented what he considered an
interference with his rights on the
platform of the locomotive and on the
first run out from Broad and Prime
streets with the new device paid no
heed to the displacement of the log
from the seat when the conductor de
sired to take on a passenger from a
farm near Gray’s Ferry, but sikm! on
over the bridge and did not deign to
bring his engine to a stop until Blue
Bell station, on the south side of the
Schuylkill, had been reached. Then
he demanded to know’ of Wolf why he
had been Jerking that log all about the
locomotive.
Wolf hotly declared that he had sig
naled to stop, but Fogg retorted that
he would stop when and where he
pleased and that, too, without any ref
erence to orders from the conductor,
whom he did not regard as his superior
In the management of the train. The
altercation grew very heated, and Wolf
invited the engineer from the cab to
settle the matter, and the challenge
was quickly accepted.
Passengers and a group of men who
had gathered at the station to see the
train come in formed a ring about the
combatants, but the fight did not last
long, as Wolf proved by far the su
perior artist with bis fists and with
a few blow’s made it almost impossible
for the engineer to see sumdently to
complete his run, but Fogg admitted
that he had been fairly beaten, and the
supremacy of the conductor on a train
was settled for all time.
As the log signal was erode and in
effective, Wolf devised the use of a
bell on the locomotive, and this method
was soon adopted by all of the Amer
ican railroads. Then a code of sig
nals was adopted, and these remain
practically to this day. The only
change in the bell cord Is that by use
of the air from the brake system a
whistle has superseded the bell in the
locomotive cab.—Philadelphia Ledger.

mass meetings an old banter it wide

“Let me see your rifle,” said Clay.

“Is she a good rifle?”

THE SEA HEDGEHOG.
It Will Swallow Air Until It Swolla
Into Invulnerability.
Of fishes a large number are pro
tected from hostile attack by a cov
ering of prickles. By far the most
curious examples are the gloliefisbcs
or “sea hedgehogs" of the Atlantic
and Indo Pacific oceans. The extreme
length of the gloliefish is something
less than two feet, it has thick lip*
and goggle eyes, which give it the ap
pearance of a good natured country
man. Courage it seems to lack, and
one might suppose that such a sim
pleton would full ap easy prey to the
first shark or dogfish it encountered
Yet the gloliefish is aide to take care
of itself. It never under any circum
stances attacks the enemy, yet is al
ways ready to receive him in a suit
able manner should he provoke hostil
ities.
Let us suppose that a shoal of globe
fishes is swimming tranquilly in the
clear waters when it is suddenly sur
prised by a hungry shark. Of course
the little fellows scuttle hither and
thither in uncontrollable alarm. But
the shark, poising himself upon ills
powerful tail, leisurely .singles out one
of the fleeing globefishes and sets out
in pursuit. Now. although the glolie-
fisli is a good swimmer, it Is no match
for the shark. The chase is in every
way unequal and can have but one
ending. Within a few minutes of its
commencement the shark must over
take the glubelish. But the quarry Is
well aware of its danger. It makes a
bee line for the surface and as soon as
it gets there la-gins to take in great
gulps of air.
Then a strange thing happens. The
fish that only a moment before was
thin and small begins to grow stouter
and stouter until, like the frog in the
fable, it seems in danger of bursting.
It stops inflating itself, however, just
in time to avert this catastrophe. But
its skin has become as taut as a drum
head. and the whole of its In sly js cov
ered with sharp, erect prickles. It has
ts'come a sea hedgelmg. and the bun
gry shark which comes surging through
the water dares not touch it. but turns
tail in search of something more eat.-.-
ble. Of course the gloliefish was cov
ered with prickles all the time, but in
peri i Is of tranquillity these lie com
fortably along its sides, just as do
thoM* of the hedgehog. Unlike its
land prototype, however, the sea
hedgehog is unprovided with a special
muscle for erecting Its prickles, so
when danger threatens it has reeourse
to the mechanical method of inflating
the whole body with air or with wa
ter if it cannot reach the surface
quickly.—Scientific American.
