Queen Victoria, with the prince con­ sort and her famuy, attended in state the opening of the great exhibition of 1851. While the choir was singing the "Hallelujah chorus" a Chinaman, superbly robed, suddenly emerged from the crowd and prostrated himself be­ fore the throne. No one knew who he was. He might be the emperor of China himself come secretly to Eng­ land to share in the great doings. The lord chamberlain, greatly perplexed, applied to the queen and the prince for advice ftnd instructions. He was In­ formed that there must be no mistake as to the stranger's rank and that it would be best to place him between the archbishop of Canterbury and the duke of Wellington. In this position of honor the Chinaman, with magnifi­ cent dignity, walked through the build­ ings, to the delight and amazement of all who watched. Next day it was dis­ covered that he was the keeper of a Chinese junk which had just cast anchor In the Thames, and which everybody was invited to visit on pay- ment of a shilling a head.

The yucca is a tree not given to whims; It has been described by Van Dyke as having "a tall stalk, rising like a shaft from a bowl and capped at the top by nod­ ding creamy flowers." But the strange arching_yucca is famous for Its curious form. Nobody watched it gro\v; all that is known about it is that it haa two roots, its great stalk or trunk de­ scribing a graceful arch, rotted firmly into the ground at each end. At the top of the arch a great branch, like an extended arriT, shoots forth as if pointing out the way. The arch is so high that a tally-ho coach could easily pass under it. W. L.

Amusing Grammatical Error of Obse­ quious 8hopwoman. Henry M. Alden, the editor of Harp­ er's Monthly, once advanced the the­ ory that half of the laughable gram­ matical errors made by the unedu­ cated arise from self-consciousness-- from trying too hard to be correct, and that these same simple people do not make so many errors when con­ versing easily and unaffectedly with people of their own kind. This would seem to be true in this Instance: A teacher in one of the West Side public schools the other day found that she had left her pocket notebook at home and would need one during the afternoon session. So at noon she slipped hurriedly into one of the little shops that always appear next door to a school building. The little shopwoman put on her most proper, obsequious manned when she recog­ nized the schoolteacher. Then, as she arranged upon the counter a half doz­ en or more of the little books, she waved her hand with awkward grace toward the assortment and said: "Yez° kin choose yer choice!"-- New York Times; The Teacher Won, . Hlnton, Ky., Nov. 2.--Fcf\ over two years two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treat­ ing Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took in all about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." - Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease.. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two,good physicians had treated him tor two years without success. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will surely cure any case of Kidney Trouble. English Railroad Accidents. The English Bureau of Commerce has published a report covering the railway accidents of the United King­ dom, which shows that 1,171 persons were killed, and 17,814 injured in 1902. As compared with 1901 the killed and injured were as follows: Of every 9,211,002 passengers one was killed in 1902, agatftst one in every 9,684,414 in 1901; one was injured of every 466f700 passengers in 1902, against one in every 546,511 in 1901. The total mileage of the railways of the United Kingdom at the close of 1902 was 22,152 miles. Most of the roads have double and triple tracks.

Parker, a well-known dentist 9f Grand Rapids, Mich., has a unique scheme for securing pure air in his sleeping-room and thus improving his health. It is the very simplicity of Dr. Parker's invention that strikes the ob­ server most forcibly. His room is sit­ uated on the ground floor, and a win­ dow of unusual size opens to the west Outside of this window, a light frame work o£ maple Is constructed, and over this is stretched some finely woven cloth. This is the filter. It stops the entrance of rain and drafts and catches the cinders and numerous impurities of the atmosphere of a manufacturing district. Once in bed and with curtain closed and slide open, there is an unrestricted passage way for the filtered air to the lungs of the person in bed, but not satified with this. Dr. Parker erected a ventilator pipe on the top of the box. This extends clear to the ceiling of the room and at its lower end, about two inches from the top of the box, a gas jet is inserted. Before retiring the patient lights this jet. The heated air, rises naturally, passes out of the top of the ventilator pipe and forms a vacum in the pipe which is immediate­ ly filled by the fresh air from out of .doors. This keeps up a continual cir­ culation, and the sleeper's lungs can never take in the same air twice. The Toilet of a Mandarin. A recent book on Cnina contains the following account of a mandarin's toilet: "A Chinaman always sleeps with his clothes on--that Is, he re­ moves the outer garments and, having undone the waistband, anklets, collar and so on, retires to rest in his linen. The first thing on getting up is to clean tys teeth, which is usually a long and noisy operation. In order to do this he takes a large mug, a silver tongue scraper, a brush and often a bit of willow twig and goes out into the courtyard to complete this part of his toilet. One of the handmaids has al­ ready filled the copper basin with warm water and brought 'the rag.' Often and often have I enjoyed the luxury of the 'hotel rag' at Chinese inns. This rag is a purely Chinese institution and consists of an old dish­ cloth dipped in boiling water. The mandarin rubs his head, face, neck and hands with tho family rag, ties his drawers at the ankles, hitches him- sek up generally, puts on a pair of silk leggings and a long robe and his undress toilet is complete."

Boer and British Artillery. In his testimony regarding artillery firing during the South African' war Gen. Butler told the British war com­ mission an interesting story. "I think the foreign system of intercepting the recoil, which was adopted by the Boers, was far superior to ours; that is to say, a big Boer gun would vfire at an extreme range--I saw it happen myself--a shell and that shell fell and made a great hole in the ground. A native got into the hole to see how deep it was and the next shell that came went into the same hole and killed him. I do not think we had a gun that would put two shells running into the same hole." Tea Raising in India. The half million acres cultivated In tea in India produce 190,000,000 pounds the investment being about $100 an acre. The labor required is thirteen persons to the acre.

How a Fanner was freed from Misery • fefe' ' ; k ORTHT of a hlgh- er recommendatl°n than I can find words to express." I This is what Mr. W I J. H. Plangman (of ^ Til Sherman, T e x.) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometime in Septem­ ber I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. 1 paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and pain across ^ *e,ft lef, fji 7y y» as far as the knee." me small of This is precisely (Up what kidney trou- a tie will do With the body. It does not al­ ways show Itself at first, but ap­ pears just in this t . . way, when some M,, y unusual movement ' ' ' ' or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kid­ neys. So Mr. Plang- man's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping In and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and under­ went a rigid examination." Then he raiates how tly> doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars. Pain in left knee. However, necessity knows no law and Mr. Plangman paid half down and took the treatment and follbwed it faithful­ ly for four weeks. Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost Impossible for me to do my work." "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Craycroft. I used these pills according to direc­ tions and to my surprise I was con­ siderably relieved on the second day and in a short time complexly cured." This is the uni­ versal experience of those who have been sufferers from Kidney trouble and who have been for­ tunate enough to test the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. There is nothing wonderful or mag­ ical about this remedy, it simply does the work by direct action on the kid­ neys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only and this accounts for their speedy and certain action. Early indications of kidney trouble come from two sources, the back and the bladder. The back becomes weak and lamef be­ cause the kidneys are sick, and re­ lief from backache can only be com­ plete when the kidneys are set right. K through.

The mother with her little 10-year- old daughter was returning to her tiny flat after a call on a friend who re­ sided In a large house, with spacious grounds about it, says the New York Times. As she neared the house she sighed and remarked to her little daughter: "Dolly, when I come back home af­ ter visiting Mrs. Wallin I feel as if I had come back to live in a hat box." Dolly gave a sigh exactly like her mother's and said dismally: "And I feel as if 1 had come back to Uve in a keyhole." Bars Courts and Lawyers. The will of W. H. Mentzer has just been filed for probate in San Bernar­ dino, Cal. It is peculiar on account of the stipulation which directs that no attorney or court of law shall di­ rect the distribution of the estate. Mentzer was formerly one of the rich­ est men of this county, owning the town site of Colton. He became in­ volved in litigation, which depleted his wealth. Under the will there is little over $75,000 to administer. Some of this consists of rroperty on Pine street, San Francisco. A month ago Mentzer died, at Inglewood. Follow­ ing his express wishes, there were no pallbearers nor clergymen at his funeral, the undertaker simply calling at the house and taking the corpse to the cemetery. His widow, his only heir, lives alone in the beautiful Ingle- wood home, shunning all society.-- San Francisco Chronicle. EMERSON'S BRQMOSEITZER 10 CENTS.
