Rev. Smuel G. Bettes, "the cowboy preacher," is erecting at Morgantown, Va.. a steam yacht fifty feet long and with a forty-horse power engine, for a "gospel boat." The craft will be launched at Morgantown next spring and will be taken down the Mononga- hela, Ohio and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. Thence the yacht will cross the gulf and ascend the Rio Ne­ gro. Some distance up this river Mr. Bettes will take charge of a tract of 1,000 acres, "which the Colombian gov­ ernment has granted him on which to establish a school for Indian children. Stops will be made along the way by the "gospel boat," and religious serv­ ices will be held at every stopping place along the three rivers. popalatlod of iulnllk. ..

There is a "New Italy" on the Richmond river, in New South Wales A young man from Indiana, says the Washington correspondent of the New York World, had a fine job in the treasury department as messenger. About all he had to do was to sit in an armchair and kick his heels. A few davg ago some heartless wretch transferred him to the force of guides, thus making it necessary for to trot, trot, trot, all day with The new guide showed his first bunch of tourists into the big room where . all the old money sent In for redemption is in a loud voice "These are the most expert money- counters in the world.

Cox, Wis., Jan. 6.--With Kidney dis­ ease sb bad that he could hardly walk across the room for pain, Frank M. Russell of this place was a man greatly to be pitied. He tired out with the slightest exer­ tion and In spite of all the doctors could do for him he fcas growing grad­ ually worse. He had tried many medi- elneB and treatments without benefit, but recently he read in^ji newspaper about Dodd's Kidney Pills, and these helped him from the very first^ose. He took several boxes before he was completely cured, but now he is.well and strong as ever he was, and feels very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for his restoration to good health. He sat in his chamber alone. The lights burned dim and the fire flickered fitfully. No raven canie to flutter its black wings and cast its Bomber shadow over the room, but it would scarcely have been out of place. For a long time he sat 'here gazing into the fire, the vwjr personification of despair. At last he stirred uneasily and half rose from his chair. He looked at the clock. It was the stroke of midnight "Only an hour ago," he muttered. "Only an hour ago, and it has seemed a year--a hundred years." He sank back listlessly, broken in spirit and crushed in hope. "One word, and a fortune lost," he slgheil, (H'xprtirlngly. :'One little word of two letters, and fl50,000 has gone glimmering among the things that were." He groaned in his agony, and the lights sank lower and lower and faded away, leaving him in a gloom impene­ trable.

Thatching a roof straw is thus de­ scribed by an English writer: "One of the .farmers' men holds the sheaf at the ear end across a revolving comber, which thf&shes and combs it. Then he passes it to his neighbor, who repeats the process at the opposite end. Another man trims the sheaves and binds them into larger bundles, known by the name of 'nltches of reed.' The reed is then watered to make it pliant, the bundles broken up into lengths of sufficient thickness and laid across the roof, being then partly overlapped by successive rows until the top is reached. If a house is to be newly thatched, or the whole of the old straw removed, the reed is tied down to the 'rafters with tarred twine, but if the old straw remains the rafters cannot be reached, and so spars of hazel and other woods are thrust in to keep the reed secure. A good thatch will last twenty-five years. If 'fore-sunned'--that is, catch­ ing the morning sun--it will last longer than if 'back-sunned'--exposed to the afternoon son." Ouku'i 8k«tch of HlnMlf.

W. t, Alexander, Denver ' COLORADO nDODQV NCW DISCOVERY: fives W ¥ quiet relief and cures woiH ca»e«. Hook of testimonials and 10 days' tre»tm«Bi The Distinctive Value of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in, its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not Weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con­ dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect' safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its. mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method ol manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company--California Fig Syrup Co.--printed on the front of every package. • rr^Xt. • r- v r ...,V . ..
