A valUng ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught In a dead calm, something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze and the sea flat nud leail-
colored. About ten o'clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like flshpcles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with a clatter. It was
like striking a rock, only the shock
was less pronounced at first, but in-
creased in violence during ths 30
seconds it lasted. The sea he>aved
in oily swells with a strange hOArse
murmur, and it continued to be agi-
tated after the tremors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the tua-
sands began to rise to the surface, un-
til it was covered with them. Forty-
seven whales wero counted, many
cowflsh, fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun-
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force of some terrific marine
upheaval, and when struck with a
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs of life. In 20 minutes
after the tirst fish arose to the sur-
face they began to drop out of sight
like pieces of lead. Whether they
were stunned, and, on recovering, im-
mediately dove beneath the waves in
a panic, seeking safety in the depths,
or whether they died from the shock,
and, Instead of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques
tions too deep for the skipper, but
half a dozen of the smaller fish hauled
(■board by the cook for dinner were
fuile dead when examined. The calm
continued 24 hours longer before the
ocean resumed its usual aspect and a
wind from the southeast permitted the
ship to continue Us course.
IT IS A FIDDLE CHURSH VANE.
affected my kid-
neys. My back hurt
me terribly, and
the urine was bad-
ly discolored. Doc-
tors said my right
kidney was practi-
cally dead. They
said I could never
walk again. I read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and began us-
ing them. One box made me stronger
and freer from rain. I kept on using
them and in three months was able to
get out on crutches, and the kidneys
were acting better. I improved rap-
idly, discarded the crutches and to
f.ie wonder of my friends was soon
completely cured."

TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD.
Reminder of the Builder's Early Days
of Poverty.
One of the most curious vanes to
be seen on any church in Great Brit-
ain is at Great Gonerby, a parish ad-
Joining Grantham.
It is in the form of a fiddle and a
bow and is unusually large. Its his-
tory is curious. Many years ago a
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out a modest livelihood by per-
forming on an old violin which was
almost a part of his life. At last he
decided to emigrate and out in the
far west prospered and became a rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to
build a church and attached to the
gift the curious condition that a met a!
replica of his old fiddle and bow/** -ild
bo on the summit of the. The
gift was accepted arid the vane may
still be seen on the church.
A Bird's Vanity.
The canary bird sang so loud and
clear that the three men, in their
shirt sleeves on the lawn, could not
keep track of their argument. Dis-
connectedly and without meaning
amid the music floated in the air
3uch* words as "anti-injunction plank,"
"equality of opportunity," "the trusts,"
"yellow dog funds," and "a square
deal."
"Drat that bird," said the host. "I'll
fix him."
And he got a little mirror and
set it in the cage.
The canary stood before the mirror
and was Bilent. He gazed with rap-
ture at himself. He breathed deep,
like Miss Allen in her "Salome" dance,
and, like the beautiful girl before the
saint's head, so the bird before the
mirror was seized with shivering flt3
that ran all over him.
"He's stuck on himself," said the
host. "As long as I leave the mirror
thore he won't budge from it, even to
eat. Now, as I was saying—"
And soon a great hubbub arose over
"tariff revision."

Very Steep Railway.
What claims to be the steepest rail-
way line in the world is that recently
opened near Bozen, in the Tyrol. The
Mendel railway, with a gradient of
G4 in 14H), and the Vesuvian, with G3,
have hitherto held the record. But
the new line in its steepest part rises
70 in 100 and in other parts 06.
It leads up the mountainside to Vir-
gil Terrace, on the River Eisach. The
system employed is that of the elec-
trical wire ropo and the ascent is
made at the rate of five feet a second,
or five minutes for the whole distance.
The car carries 32 passengers.
The Great White Way,
They vere on their honeymoon and
wero cllubing the Schnupfelgapfen-
apltzent Peak, and Bhe stood above
him some 20 feet. "What ho!" he
gasped. "What do you see?"
"Far, far below," she cried, "I see
a Ion;;, white streak, stretching like a
"paper ribbon back almost to our
hotel!" B
"Ha, ha!!" he ejaculated. "I'll,bet
it's that blessed hotel bill overtaking
is!" And they proceeded onward
tin! upward.—New Haven Register.
Harold's mother—'H call liliu Har-
old—went abroad a month ago, leav-
ing Harold under the somewhat un-
substantial control of his elder sisters.
In spite of the itemized directions
with which evon unto the moment of
final leave-taking she had not ceased
to bombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis-
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on a course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most cov-
etous of picture postcards and had
looked foyward to a harvest from his
mother's trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And whatever else it bore in the
way of inscription, there was not one
which failed of this introduction:
"Just as soon as you get this go and
brush your teeth."
Actual Facts.
For upwards of fifteen years Hunt's
Cure has been sold under a strict
guarantee to <Sure any form of itch-
ing skin troubles known. No matter
the name—less than one per cent, of
the purchasers have requested their
money back. Why? It simply does
the work.
Pinxit—I have just finished ths late
Mrs. deck's portrait. It's a speaking

The Widower Peck—Would It be
too much trouble to—er—change it a
bit in that respect?
A Doctor's Disadvantage.
"In one way," said a collector, "It
Is easier to get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
It is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctor's reception room is
open to all possible patients. A col-
lector with a grain of ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter-
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar to his name."
8he Lost Out.

"Then we'll just have another dance
Instead of going to that fashionable
restaurant," responded the thrifty
swain. "And," he added mentally,
"that's $6 saved."—Kansas City Jour-

Neither.
"See here, I'm tired of complaining
about those noises. Shall I appeal to
the police or leave it to Heaven?"
"Don't say anything to the police,"
replied the janitor, soothingly. "Leave
it to ma."
