Though Justice is led far astray by cun­ ning advocates. Though Judges serve the rascal's ends and scorn the public's right.

Klser. Photographing by Lightning. A series of extraordinary, instances of photography by lightning are re­ ported by Prof. Andres Poey, former­ ly director of the Havana Observa­ tory. Among his instances were sev­ eral very notable ones. A tree in which was a boy in the act of robbing a bird's nest was struck by lightning. Upon the breast of the boy appeared the images of branches of the tree, with the nest lodged in them and the young birds in the nest. Upon the back of a sailor struck dead by light­ ning appeared a photograph of a horseshoe fastened to the foremast against which h© bad been standing. Another mariner had left upon his chest the inscription "4, 4," just as it appeared upon one of the masts. Again, a young man struck when wearing a belt in which he had con­ cealed a quantity of coins carried to his grave the photographic impres­ sion of these coins. More remark­ able still was the case of a lady upon whose leg was knprinted the impres­ sion of a flower which happened to be in the path of the electric current, and was photographed through a •brick wall. A Paradise for Women. The treatment accorded women in the island of Sumatra ought to be a great satisfaction to the advocates of women's rights. At marriage the worldly possessions of the husband are made over to the wife, and he thenceforth devotes 'his energies to increasing this fortune. Divorce is practically unknown, perhaps because husband and wife do not live together but live in separate houses. The lot of a married woman is such 1 a happy one in this favored land that widowhood is rendered proportionate­ ly hard to bear. Consequently the orlflamme. or widow's veil, is special­ ly manufactured of the lightest possi­ ble material, its texture being as fine as - muslin, with the result that the most gentle of breezes soon tear it to pieces. Thus within a very short space does the widow find herself free to marry, and but few months elapse before she has found someone to console her and has again bound jherself with the golden bonds of mat­ rimony.--New York Herald. LIVE ON THE WATER. Colony of Houseboat* Qathervd In 8an Francisco Bay. The nearest approach, in America, to anything like houseboatlng on the Tnames is found in "Arktown," a colony of thirty or forty houseboats in San Francisco bay. These boats, or "arks," as they are familiarly spok­ en of, are built of two or four aban­ doned street cars, set end to end, two and two, or in a solid square, o: a flat-bottom boat, a "broad, squar< nosed sloop," or scow. When the cars are of the old-fash­ ioned kind with long seats on either side, the seats are built out a litjfle and upholstered, making comfortable beds by night, and with plenty of i(il lows they are ease-inviting loungi places by day. A stationary table the center and folding ones at the sides are easily managed, and books and closets are found in the most unexpected places. In the fourcar boats one car is turned into a kitch­ en and dining room, each one a mar­ vel of convenience and comfort.-- Laura B. Starr, in Four-Track News. "SOUND AS A DOLLAR." Monticello, Minn., April 25th.--Mr. J. W. Moore of this place, stands ts a living proof of the fact that Bright's Disease, even in the last stages may be perfectly end permanently cured- Mr. Moore says: "In 1898 three reputable physicians, after a careful examination told me that I would die with Bright's Disease inside of a year. My feet and ankles and legs were badly swollen; I could hardly stand on my feet and had given up all hopes of getting cured, when a traveling salesman told me that he himself had been cured of Bright's Disease two years before. "He said he had taken to his bed and expected to die with it, but that he had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I commenced taking them r.t once and I am thankful to say that they saved my life. After a short treat­ ment, I was completely restored to good health and I am as sound as a dollar." Mouse, Wash Basin, Batter Cakes. yhe delights of secret spreads in girls' colleges are sometimes exag­ gerated, if the story told by a student at one of those institutions of learn­ ing is true. Said she: "You know, this winter, we've all been making batter cakes and mixing them in our wash basins. Well, the other day I heard the girl next door to me talking to the chambermaid. 'I wish you'd get me a new wash basin,' she said. 'I caught a mouse last night and had to drown it--and I simply can't use that wash basin for batter cakes again.'" Sensational Occurrence at Trial. Sensational incidents are not un­ common in the closing stages of fam­ ous criminal trials. One of the most remarkable occurred recently in Mel­ bourne, Australia, on the last day of the trial of Ned Kelly, known to thousands of juvenile readers of pen- jiy Action, as the "ironclad bushrang­ er of Australia." A knife dropped from a gallery overhead and fell at the feet of the desperado in the dock. He had every temptation to grab it and put an end to his existence, for there was not the slightest chance of bis escaping the gallows. But it was promptly picked up by a warder and Its owner was, arrested and brought before the judge. He pleaded that the occurrence was purely accidental, and this explanation was accepted by the court. Fashion Among Thibetan Women. As if nature had not been unkind enough, the Thibetan woman height­ ens her ugliness by smearing her face with a horrible black ointment to keep her skin from cracking in the dry wind. Her dress is not very dif­ ferent from her husband's. Her crowning glory is her hair! Plastered down with butter from the part to the ears, it goes off behind into a sunburst of Bmall braids, to which is fastened a great fan-shaped head­ dress falling to the hem t)f her gar­ ments. It is of spreading stripes of red and bine cloth, joined horizontally by iron bands, and ornamented with countless coral and malachite beads, silver coins and tiny bells. The Smile That Won't 8tay On. In a photographic studio on Broad­ way a woman was sitting for her pic­ ture. The polite operator kept up a rAning fire of instructions for ten minutes, something after this fash­ ion: "Pardon me, your expression is a trifle too severe* Relax the features a trifle. A little more, please. Now, then, ready? Beg pardon, the ex­ pression is still a trifle too stern. That's it. Direct your gaze at the card on this post. All ready! One moment--pardon me again--the ex­ pression is still too severe. Wont you please relax the " "Marion!" roared the woman's hus­ band, popping out from behind a Bcreen and glaring at her, "Smile, confound you! Smile!"--New York Press. HAS A 8AY. Plants That Shoot Arrows. The arrows are crystal needles of oxalate of lime, of microscopic d'.men sions, and are shot from minute cap- sule-Shaped bodies, found in the tis­ sues of sueh plants as the Indian tur nip and the Polynesian taro. Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry at Washington, describes the extraordinary spectacle he beheld in the field of his microscope when the "bombs" contained in a drop of taro pulp began to discharge their arrows. Sometimes only one or two needles, and sometimes groups of four to ten, were discharged at once, the bomb recoiling as the projectiles left it Dr. Wiley suggests that the Intense burning and pricking experi­ ence in chewing such plants as those described are due to, the release and discharge of these crystal arrows when the plant tissues are crushed in the mouth. Ways of Cairo Milkmen. One of the most curious customs you notice in Cairo is observed by the dairymen who deliver milk "on the hoof," as it were. That is, they drive their cows from house to house each morning and serve their patrons directly, so that an intermediary visit to a pump is impossible. A servant comes out with a jar when he hears the milkman's call and stands by while his order is being filled direct from the udder. S N A P S H O T S O F T H E Some of the Inter­ e s t i n g F e a t u r e s B r i e f l y D e s c r i b e d WORLD'S F A I R A Visit to the Exposi­ tion is Equivalent to a Tour of the Glqbe Any effort at exaggeration, in at­ tempting to describe the World's Fair at St. Louis would more than likely result in failure. One's imagination would indeed be abnormally develop­ ed if he were to conceive more glor­ ies, more beauty, more majestic splen­ dor, and a more comprehensive gather­ ing of men and the works of men, than has been assembled on two Square miles comprising the Louisiana Pu?ein|S£_J3xDOsition. More than a thousand native Filipi­ nos are living in the 40-acre Philip­ pine tract at the World's Fair. Their homes have been reproduced in St. Louis and they, are counterparts of those left behind in the Pacific archi­ pelago. The Filipino colony em­ braces representatives from many tribes, and Americans and Europeans will be interested in seeing the sub­ jects that Uncle Sam acquired with tie Philippine islands, .and in learn­ ing of their lives and habits. Besides the native villages, the Philippine commission, which has ex­ pended nearly $1,000,000 on the exhi­ bit, has erected replicas of toany of the most famous buildings on the is­ lands. Several bits of old Spanish architecture are sure to delight all visitors. Patagonian giants are even less known than Filipinos. And there are a number of these strange people domiciled nearby, while a little fur­ ther on may be found another strange race--pygmies from darkest Africa, whose very existence, until recent years, was doubted. The Ainus, the aborigines of northern Japan, are an­ other strange race that may be seen Never was the United States gov­ ernment so deeply interested in an ex­ position as It is in this 1904 World's Fair. Already the government's In­ vestment has reached the $11,000,000 mark, and this does not include the Philippine expenditures, which were paid out of the insular treasury. The result Is the greatest exhibit ever made by Uncle Sam. One of the interesting government exhibits is the great map of the United States, worked out In growing crops, each state being represented by crops chiefly grown in that state. This map covers six acres of ground. One who has not seen the map may have an idea of its immense size whence is told that Illinois on this crop mair-ls 75 feet lotog. The bound­ ary lines between the states are gravel walks and the World's Fair visitors stroll at will through the states, and receive simultaneously a lesson in geography and agriculture. The largest timepiece in the world is at the World's Fair, and may be seen on a slope on the north side of Agriculture Hill. The dial of this great clock is 112 feet in diameter. The frame work is steel, of course, but it is so covered with flowers that it appears to have been built entirely of flowers, and for that reason it is popularly known as the "floral clock." Germany's participation in this World's Fair surpasses anything that that great nation has ever done at any other international exposition. The National pavilion, on a high hill over­ looking the Cascades, is a faithful reproduction of the ancient castle Charlottenburg, and the gardens sur- Hank Monk drove Horace Qreeley into Placerville "on time" Is seen daily in the Oulch. Mark Twain and Artemus Ward, in the early days, made Hank Monk and the t>ld coach famous by their vivid descriptions of the celebrated ride. The landscape of the World's Fair Is a feature of diversified beauty. It embraces hill and valley, plateau and lowland. In the Cascade region alone more than 4,000,000 brilliantly colored flowing and foliage plants are used In the creation of the Rainbow Gar­ dens. More than 30,000,000 plants are used in beautifying other sections of the grounds. All of the main avenues are delightfully shaded with rows of silver maples, and in several sections there are great groups of forest trees that ever afford a delightful shade. The largest engine in the world Ja an exhibit in the Palace of Machinery. This mpnster with a frower equal to that of 5,000 horses, occupies a sjjace in the center of the great structure, and towers 35 feet in the air. It is as large as an ordinary three-story house. Altogether the engines devel­ op a power of 50,000 horses. At the Chicago exposition ten years ago, which more nearly than any other similar enterprise approaches the present in magnitude, the greatest power developed was 12,000 horse power. The Pike is a most alluring place. It is a broad boulevard more than a mile long, with the shows of all na­ tions arranged on either side in the most captivating array. The archi­ tecture of The Pike is that of all Looking Qown on the Government Building from the Missouri Building. at the World's Fair. These queer people are small of stature and their bodies are covered with hair. They are quite a diirerent race from the modern Japanese. Japan, indeed, is in the front rank of nations at the great World's Fair. The site selected by Japai} for her group of buildings is one of the choicest alloted to for­ eign nations, and the enterprising Japanese have made the most of their advantages. On a high hill overlook­ ing Machinery Palace workmen from the Mikado's realm have built a num­ ber of quaint and beautiful pagodas and- have embellished the surround­ ings with just such gardens as have won the Japanese the enviable reputa­ tion of developing and perfecting such flowers and plantB as they cultivate. rounding It are gems of the landscape architect's art. Germany's immense pavilion, of white and gold, in the mammoth Palace of Agriculture, is one of the features of that interesting building, while the Palace of Varied Industries contains another German exhibit of unique interest. Most interest naturally centers in the races of the airships. To win the grand prize of $10(X,000 the suc­ cessful aeronaut must cover the 10- mile course at the speed of 18% miles an hour. Santos Dumont has several of his wonderful machines on the ground and is sanguine of success. Other noted aeronauts are prepared to contest vigorously with the famous little Brazilian. The historic stage coach In which ages and countries, from the prehis­ toric ages to the present day, and everything that is new, strange and in­ teresting is shown in this street of all nations. After night The Pike is a blaze of glory and myriads of'electric lights accentuate the beauties of the quaint architecture. In one newspaper article but few of the places of interest may be touched. A large volume would be required were each feature mention­ ed in a single line. The visitor who can find time but for a week's stay at the Fair will see more glories than he ever dreamed of, and were he to lengthen his stay to the seven months of the fair he could pass every mo­ ment in profitable and interesting sightseeing. * Tombstone as Present. Two London septuagenarians have Just celebrated their golden wedding, and among many other presents was one from a tombstone manufacturer, Whose gift took the form of a tomb- Stone with the names of the couple engraved upon it. It will be at once A-ected upon a spot which the recipl- ttats of the gift have selected as their lL*t resting place. Prlserves Ancient Custom.

The Principal of a High School in a flourishing Calif, city says: "For 23 years I worked in the school with only short summer vacations. I formed the habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly which coupled with my sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back and rheuma­ tism. "Upon consulting physicians some doped me with drugs, while others prescribed dieting and sometimes I got temporary relief, other times not. For 12 years I struggled along with this handicap to my work, seldom laid up but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains. "Two years ago I met an old friend, a physician who noticed at opce my out-of-health condition and who pre­ scribed for me an exclusive diet of Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit. "I followed his instructions and in two months I felt like a new man with to more headaches, rheumatism or liver trouble and from that time to this Grape-Nuts has been my main food for morning and evening meals, am stronger and healthier than I have been for years without a trace of the old troubles. "Judging from my present vigorous physical and mental state I tell my people Methuselah may yet have to take second place among the old men, for I feel like I will live a great many more years. "To all this remarkable change In health I am Indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and I hope the Postum Co. will continue to manufac­ ture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet, until I move to a world where Indigestion Is un­ known." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ask any physician what he knows about Grape Nuts. Those who have tried it know things. "There's a reason." Look in each pkg. tor the f'Tgo'ii ttttle book, "The Road to Wellville." An Experience. One of Allentown's young ladles re­ turned recently from her first trip to New York. On reaching the metrop­ olis she had accepted an invitation to a matinee. It was a brilliant pro­ duction and left an Impression which was dimmed only by a visit some time later to the opera in the even­ ing. She was giving a glowing ac­ count of the first experience to some friends the other day, one of whom interpolated enviously: "Yes, I have seen it." "But," continued the other, "did you ever attend a matinee ia the even­ ing?"--Philadelphia Ledger. 8HE WANTED TO KNOW. Why Co-operative Colonies Fail. Co-operative colonies fail because they get out of touch with the great world around them," said a lecturer recently who had been a member of the famous colony of Zoar. "All the property and all the earnings of the Zoar colonists were divided equally," said he. "As a result there was less energy and thrift. Petty Jealousies interfered with the colony work and when its leader died it gradually went to pieces." Canadian Route Is 8horter. At a recent meetiag of the royal transportation commission in Halifax, reports and maps were submitted showing that the Canadian route be­ tween Europe and the East was 680 miles shorter than those from United States ports. Russian Ship Canal. Surveys, which have Just been com­ pleted, for a ship canal across Russia to connect the Baltic and Black seas, show that the distance will be 1,468 miles and the cost $180,000,000. Girl's Question That Paralyzed Gun­ nery Lieutenant. She was a dear little girl, and had spent most of her life in a country rectory. It was not surprising, there­ fore, that her knowledge of things maritime and warlike was not ex­ tensive. The young gunnery officer of H. M. S. had been showing her round the battleship. It was the very first warship of any kind she had ever visited, and her mind was full of the wonderful sights presented. Being an industrious and a thor­ ough young man, the gunnery lieu­ tenant had explained very fully the mechanism and the use of the tor­ pedo in warfare. She examined the long, deadly, ci­ gar-shaped engine Of war critically and fearfully. Then she tapped it with the point of her parasol and let her glove run over its burnished side, and finally paralyzed the gunnery officer with the question: "How does the crew get inside?"-- London Tit-Bits. Roman Catholics in America. An official directory recently pub­ lished gives the following statistics regarding Roman Catholicism in this country: The Roman Catholic popu­ lation is computed to be nearly 12,- 000,000; the clergy number 13,267 and there are 11,196 houses of worship.

In Louisiana's world fair exhibit there will be shown ninety-eight vari­ eties of mosquitoes. They are in cases and are guaranteed not to bite or sting. Center of Lamb-Raising Industry. Greeley, Colo., is becoming almost as noted for its lamb, as for its po­ tato industry. Shipments of young lambs from Greeley to Eastern and other markets, are now being made, at the rate of from 75 to 100 carloads a week. The experiment of feeding lambs during the winter months on a food composed, in large part of sugar-beet pulp, from the many beet $ugar factories in that section of the State, has been proved a success in northern Colorado. Tens of thou­ sands of sheep and lambs are now being fed ifi that manner at Greeley, Ft. Collins, Loveland and elsewhere, in the region referred to. Real Case of Broken Heart. "Died from a broken heart"--*an old woman of 74, who married her fourth husband, aged 72, in Decem­ ber last, at West Ham, was deserted by him a fortnight after the wedding. She died suddeuly on Sunday, her last words being: "My heart's broken!" and a coroner's Jury, on Wednesday, found that the cause of death was valvular disease of the heart.--Phlla- delpuia Ledger. Women Artists at Fair. Of the half million dollars appro­ priated for art at the world's fair women have secured a fat little slice.

Goose In Rubber Shoes. Harry Plnkham of Nevada, Ia„ owns a goose which is a little more than two years of age. and weighs 114 pounds. The enormous weight of the goose has been too heavy for its web feet, and to protect the fowl from the frozen ground last winter Mr. Pink- ham made for it a pair of rubber shoes, which fit on the web feet.

The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman's great friend in need is Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound# " DEAR MBS. PINKIIAM : -- I suffered misery for several years. My bade ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours befoiw I could close my eves again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hopine to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recomended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot." -- Miss FBAOTOK Osan, 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Mass. Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, sick and discouraged* and exhausted with each day's work. Some derangement of the feminine organs is reponsible for this exhaustion, following any kind of work or effort. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you just as it has thousands of other women. The case of Hrs. Lennox, which follows, proves this. " DEAR MBS. PINKHAM : -- Last winter I broke down suddenly and had to seek the advice of a doctor. I felt sore all over, with a pounding in my head, and a dizziness which I had never experienced before. I had a miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and gradually my health broke down completely. The doctor said I had female weakness, but, although I took his medicine faithfully, I found no relief. " After two months I decided to try what a change would do for me, and as Lydia 13* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it.
