He is 81 years old, and two years from this time he will complete thirty years' continuous service in the senate. During the re­ cent short session he spoke for more than four hours for two successive days. The physical effort of speaking for four hours on one day is more than many senators care to attempt. On every foreign subject he knows all there is to know and has the knowl­ edge at command without reference to books or documents. No other man knows so much about the- isthmian ca­ nal. Once some one asked how long he could really talk. "It depends upon the subject," he replied. "If it were a matter that I thoroughly understand I could talk for two or three days; If it were a matter I knew nothing about I > ^ouldr talk for two or three weeks." DONT MIS8 THIS.

SO, was visible in some partial stage over most of the United States. The line of total eclipse passed far to the north in Canada.

' •' I wonder how many women who are "all nerves" realize that much of their trouble is due to certain little everyday habits tliat pass unnoticed, but are none the less injurious? For instance, the manner of sitting. .The average woman assumes a strained and incorrect position when reading, writing and sewing--yes, even when resting, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Now, a good habit, like a bad one, is only repeated action; and a little thought on the subject would soon ren­ der it the most natural thing to as­ sume a correct position at all times, sitting, standing or lying down. Don't sit with the shoulders drawn forward, one shoulder higher than the other, and your head bent down until the shape of your vertebral column resembles the letter C. Another bad fault is slouching down in your chair until you are literally sitting on the end of your spine. Not only should "grown-ups" look to their own bad habits, but they should watch closely the small children with whom they come in daily contact and try to keep them from acquiring in­ jurious habits. Children should be prevented from their particular fail­ ing as much as possible at once, and it is worth while to give up a few weeks to the cure, just as you would if they were suffering from a childish disease--measles, or mumps, for in­ stance. The problem is made particularly difficult in that frequently we find them established before we have real­ ly noticed them. The dense shadow of the moon swept over*this narrow belt from west to east with the velocity of a cannon ball. The dotted line in the lower part of the map marks the southern limit of the eclipse. People living south of that line saw nothing at all of the eclipse. The star on the easterti. coast of the Uniffcd States, near Cape Charles at the mouth of Chesapeake bay, shows the place of "first con­ tact," that is, the place which was the very first on earth to see the eclipse begin. , i. about the sidewalk. It took a long { time to identify them, for an attend­ ant had put them back indiscriminate­ ly, and they were not checked like their perambulators. This thrilling incident shows that the only sure way to avoid similar catastrophes would be to brand each child with a num­ ber and hang a corresponding cumber round the mother's neck, like 4 bath­ room key,--Boston Herald. Bennle'g BaiTfrCWcK Devils. Many years ago, in the village of Houlton, Me., there lived a young man named Benjamin Salmon, known by every one as a simpleton, who was always doing strange things. Ono day a number of boys discovered Ben- nie perched on a fence behind a barn with a cotton string and pin hook at­ tached to a willow stick, fishing in a pool of stagnant water. This was great fun for the boys, but their jeers had no effect on Bennie. 1 Joshua Smith, a revenue officer, who. was passing, stopped to see what the fun was. After taking in the situation he addressed Bennie thus: "What you fishln' for?" Bennie, without raising his head, re­ plied, "Devils." "Ah, devils, eh," retorted Mr. Smith; "and what have you on for bait?" With the same indifference Bennie replied, "Revenue officers, sir." Odd Things»About Words. "Were you in the garden for the purpose of committing a felony?" asked the English judge of the small boy. "No, sir," said the boy; "me and my cousin were after the gentleman's fowls and eggs." Forfeiture of lands and goods and "corruption of blood" (loss of hereditary standing) were for: merly the penalties for felony. Be­ fore they got their technical sense, however, "felon" and "felony" (con­ nected either with Latin "fallere," to deceive or "fell," gall, bitterness) connoted wickedness, anger, courage or melancholy, as the case might be. "The admiral began to laugh for fel­ ony," says Caxton, meaning that he laughed, not feloniously, but reckless­ ly. Also a boil or whitlow was a "felon" and cholera "felony." Babies Mixed on Bargain Day. J^ It was a bargain day on Sixth nue, New York, and twenty baby car­ riages, all properly checked, were ranged up in front of a department store while the mothers were inside buying things they didn't need. Sud­ denly a baby at one end of the line stood up, toppled over against the next carriage, ^nd in a moment all tne carriages went over like nine­ pins, sending the kids sprawling Auto Opens New Fields. An automobile milk wagon which is running in Ohio and doing the work of two aad three horses every day is one of the recent developments of the horseless age. Another is an automobile in the Congo Free State, where electricity and coal are not to be considered as power generators, and where, therefore, wood was mus­ tered into service as the only logical fuel. The wood burning car weighs a ton and has a maximum speed of twelve miles an hour. Sheet steei wheels with heavy pneumatic tires are used. The fifteen horsepower engine is inclosed in a bullet proof bonnet, as the vehicle Is to be used in transport­ ing troops and is expected to be under fire at times. A third novelty in the automobile business is the arrange­ ment of an enterprising Yankee for a regular service of motor omnibuses to the pyramids. Giant Steamem.

Landlord No Longer Provides Guest with Good Book. People are not so good as they used to be. The traveling salesman says they are not He attributes their downfall to thp scarcity of Bibles in hotels. "There was a time," said the drum­ mer, "when every hotel I stayed in supplied its guests with Bibles. They were not fine Bibles. Possibly they cost only 25 cents apiece, but they were all there and answered the pur­ pose just as well as an Oxford edition. Usually the Bible lay in plain sight on the .table in each bedroom. If it wasn't there it was in the top bureau drawer and all us fellows knew enough to look for it there. And very frequently we did look. I read the Bible a lot in those days, maybe just because it was handy. I'd come in tired and disgust­ ed with life, especially that part repre­ sented by the evening paper, which was about the only thing I had to read and when I got plumb sick of that I'd turn to the Bible. Some mighty good stuff I found there, too. I haven't come across many of those hotel Bi­ bles in the last two years. I've missed them a lot. I don't know who is re­ sponsible for their disappearance. I understand that some tract society used to furnish them to the hotels. If the missionaries really were hack of the movement, and through some mis­ representation of facts have come to the conclusion that the game was not worth the candle, I'd like to advise them to Eet the good work going again for a lot of us chaps have backslidden since the Bibles disappeared from ho­ tel bedrooms. * His Fatal Error. They were seated on a park bench in the gloaming. "Miss Wiggins--Nellie, dwM^** he said, "will you marry me?" * ' "Really, Mr. Goodwin--er--George, this is so sudden. But--well--assure me that you have no bad habita--do not drink, gamble and the like, and I'll think about it." "I never drank a drop of liquor In my life," answered the young man, "I never play cards and regard prize fighting and horse racing with dis­ dain." „ "George," she said, "I--er--think you may hope." "And as for baseball," continued G e o r g e , " I d e t e s t i t , a n d -- ^ "What!" she exclaimed "You de­ test our great and glorious national game? Then ail bets are off, Qeorfe; I can never be your wife." Anna Dickinson's Chatnpton. Anna Dickinson was retained to de­ liver her lecture, "Breakers Ahead," under the auspices of a pretentious literary association in a small town In Illinois. When she arrived she found the billboards announced her' subject as "Break His Head." At the hall the twenty-four mem­ bers were seated on the platform. The president escorted her to the desk and introduced her, with many apologies lor her eccentricities, and declared the association would not indorse or be responsible for anything she might say. , This opening speech much embar­ rassed Miss Dickinson, and she said She wished the floor would open and let down the president or herself. Just then she saw a giant in a red shirt rising in tke audience. He loomed > up • nearly seven feet, and shouted: "Mr. President, suppose* you set down and let the gal speak ior her­ self." The president subsided, Miss Dick­ inson delivered her lecture to a de­ lighted audience, and always held in grateful remembrance fter , champion "red shirt." ' • X i ' J , a 1 1 Sttre Cure at Last. ' ' IfMtlcello, Miss., Sept. 4 (Special) --Lawrence County is almost uaily in receipt of fresh evidence that a sure cure for all Kidney Troubles has at last been found, and that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Among those who have reason to bless the Great American Kidney Rem­ edy is Mrs. L. E. Baggett of this place. Mrs. Baggett had dropsy. Dodd's Kid­ ney Pills cured her. "I was troubled with my kidneys," Mrs. Baggett says in recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to her friends, "my urine would hardly pass. The Doctors said I had Dropsy.

" • Some fellQws who think they know tow to play poker are merely philan­ thropists. Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes-- because she has the quali-1 ties which inspire admira­ tion, respect and lovfc. There is a beauty in liealth which is more at­ tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition: because of them even thrones have been established and de­ stroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair voung wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head ! A sickly, half- d e a d - a n d - a l i v e w o m a n , especially when $»he is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyOus? ness in the home, and a ^jr&gupou her husband. The cost of a wife's con­ stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doc­ toring does no good; If a woman finds her. ene'rgies are flagging, and that, everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, head­ aches, bearing-d'own pains, nervous­ ness. whites, irregularities, or despon­ dency, she should take means to build her system up at once bv a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, T a coma, Wash., writp^ h ins - 'v,: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-- " Ever since my child was born I have suf­ fered, as 1 hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so that I could not en­ joy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. Lrtfa "LydiaE. Pinkhanvs Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so ful that I am glad to write and tell vou at my marvelous recovery, ft brought M health, new life ahd vitality." What Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every woman who Is in pOOf health and ailing. Its benefits begin when itsusebeginfc It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well and robust. Remember Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vege» I for table Compound holds the record the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to by the thousands of letters front grat(» ful women which are on .file in the Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can produce eueh results.

The London Mirror tells of the ac­ tivities of our former fellow-citizen, Mr. W. W. Astor, in making a new home for himself in England. It seems that he has bought a property de­ scribed as "the historic Hever estate in Kent," and is improving it. It includes 2,000 acres of land and a moated castle, nearly six hundred years old, where at one time Henry VIII maintained Anne of Cleves. On this estate Mr. Astor has put to work about one thousand men, with due ap­ paratus, and is making changes rated as improvements which the calculat­ ing natives, estimate will cost him a miHion and a quarter pounds. He is building a lake, a model vil­ lage, roads, bridges and gardens, and is doubtless having a good deal of the sort of fun that Mr. Kipling in a re­ cent story has suggested as a suitable recreation for tired Americans. Mysterious Cannon Ball. A three-pounder "live" cannon shell of foreign make has been found In a field on the banks of the River Hum- ber, near Hull. Eng. The startling dis­ covery was made by an old naval re­ serve man, who at once took the pro-^ jectile to Hull and handed it over to' the police. The chief officer of the Royal Naval Reserve Battery on ex­ amining the shell found that it had been fired, but it had not exploded. It is 8 inches long, 3 inches in circum­ ference, and copper covered from nose to base. He considered it dangerous, and took charge of it. No one seems to know how it came there. --7~ Grand Trunk Terminal.
