WANTED-HER BROTHER.
After Ufty-two years a sister adver
tises for a brother to whom she wants
to be "reconciled before she dies."
The woman Is Mrs. Oesluna Dohr
man of New York city, who asks In
formation concerning her brother, Jo
hn no Stnlnnn, who disappeared In
18(10.
The advertisement represents the ef
fort of a sister to heal a wound now
more ttinu n half century old.
In 1800 the Stnlnnn family lived In
Genua ay. Votinic Htiiinnu. then In the
early twenties, became Involved In
some sort of a scrape" Leaving the
fatherland In the dend of the night, he
asked hia sister, now Mrs. Dohrmau, to
go with him to the station.
But she
Affronted because of the trouble In
which the brother was Involved and
distressed by the escapade, turned
away from him and refused to go. She
has not heard from ului since that
night
And now-
The years have come and gone and
along with them the hope that she
might meet her brother or hear from
him. Kail hit' In this, she holds out the
slHterly olive branch In her solicitous
advertisement
May Mrs. Dohruiuii Had Johauu Stai
uau, ber brother!
One of the most beautiful things In
nature Is the close relation of brother
and sister. Children of the same fa
ther and mother, the; are alike and
yet different.
It la the law of heredity-unity In
diversity.
While oau of the children may la
herit more of one parent's disposition
than the other, yet if yon blend the
two dispositions you will hare neither
the disposition of the father nor of the
mother.
flrotber nail Ulster ure the sum or the
father and mother and plus or mluus
Ilecaustt A long line of ancestry is behind
them.
Like or unlike, the relation Is a sa
cred kinship Blood la thicker than
wator. The tie that binds them Is the
tie tbut tugs at the heartstrings.
And yet
Sadly It must be written, the tie Is
often broken by negloct or careless
ness. The members of the family are
scattered and letters are Infrequent
Sometlmes-sndder still the relation
Is severed by variance or rupture.
Other Bisters and brothers might
well emulate the effort this German
woman makes to Had und reconcile her
brother.

MATTERS BEFORE
CITT COUNCIL
Continued from page 1
Mr. Horton held that the paving
company had such a chemist on
the job all the time, and the ex
pense would be unnecessary The
matter was tabled.
Mr. Tooze urged that the parks
be beautiiied and named, and he
suggested that the Seventh street
park be called the Library park,
and the Twelfth street the Fir
wood park. The council asked
that the newspapers of tho city
ask the people to suggest names
and present them to Recorder
Supp before next Wednesday
night.
Councilman Board asked that
some action be taken at once to
remedy the condition of the hose
house at Mountain View, which
was dangerous and unilt for the
purpose. A committee will in
vestigate and report Wednesday.
A CRITIC FROM MARS
Suppose
Suppose n friendly critic from the
plnnet .Marti shea Id some day drop
down ou us?
What would be say?
I fancy he would criticise our ex
travaganre and waste.
Listening to our complaints about
the high cost of living, be would point
to our clumsy methods of distribution,
our middlemen's profit, our demands
for quick delivery.
Noting how our big factories utilize
tbe byproducts and make fortunes out
of waste, be would be amazed at tbe
way our common people squander our
substance.
And our Impatience:
He would note our way of passing
snap judgment We prejudge things.
We become excited about trittes and
overlook the weightier issues
Our changeable tnooda:
This Martian critic would witness
bow calmly we permit abuses by our
political favorites; bow when we
wake up to tlieai there Is much ex
citement; how when the abuses are
partially corrected we go to sleep
again. Our rerom must go In waves
or not at all. '
Our craze for entertainment:
The Martlun would watch the stream
of people as they crowd Into tbe
vaudeville and picture shows. Entering
Into these and the other places of
amusement, he would show us bow
tbe spectacular things appeal to our
love of sensationalism.
Our singular cruelty:
He would wonder at our disposition
to kick the man who Is down, our con
tempt for tbe man who, falls, fie
would be puzzled to understand bow
a humanitarian age, boasting Its
churches and schools, should be so
disposed.
Our standard of success:
Very soon he would discover the
fact that our standard of success Is the
dollar. It would take him a long time
to figure out why we sbould lay the
emphasis on property rights rather
than hiiinun rights.
Suppose-
Suppose this critic from another
world should. In the very kindest und
most sympathetic way, call our atten
tion to these defects In our civiliza
tion. Would be be characterized as a bru
tal butter In?
Just as I may be characterized for
supposing such criticisms?
LEGLESS BRIGGS.
Myron L. Brlggs of southern Michi
gan farms a big farm "without a leg
to stand on."
Wblcb Is literally true.
About eleven years ago Mr. Brlggs.
then a n otoruiau on the Oraud Itaplds
street railway, lost botb bis legs la
an accident and was In tbe hospital
for fourteen months, part of the time
hovering hot ween life nnd death.
When Iuk recovered he bad enough
money which he and his wife bad
saved to make a first payment on
ulnety acres of laud The street rail
way company paid the hospital ex
penses, but nothing more.
It may appear strange thnt this bad
ly crippled man should have chosen
farming as a business, but he was
reared on a farm and enjoys the work.
He and his wire are great workers
and scientific farmers They study and
practice the latest principles of agri
culture. They take and study tbe
lending farm Journals.
This legless man now has the best
farm in bis neighborhood, equipped
wltb good buildings, silo and modern
mncblnery.
flow does he do It?
lie Is very strong and healthy, and
his arm are as brawny as a black
smith', and his grip Is like a vise
lie "walks' on his hands, swinging
his body between his arms and taking
fairly good strides.
He rides In the seats of his farm
machinery without tying himself 'n.
a nit tt N wonderful how he Is ahli tr.
maintain' 'Ms equlllbrlunf on' uneven
surfaces.
And above all In his work be Is as
happy as a lark.
Mr. Brlggs can put the harness on
his horses, hitch them up to a sulky
plow or a self binder, go to the fields
aloue and work all day, whistling aud
singing at bis task.
jAml. mind you-
Wbea be got out of the hospital the
only hoe held out to him was to go
on tbe streets and sell shoe strings
nnd lead pencils,
i'ou, farmer, with two good legs
Cheer up!
Be an optimist like Brlggs. If half
a man like Brlggs ran whistle aud
slug at bis work, you should be able
to shout for Joy at yours.
Brlggs has n line farm, but, more
wonderful than his successful accom
plishments, is the legless man behind
the farm.

refused to work during any dispute

office a certain Journeyman sugar
baker, having bad tbe audacity to go
on strike for higher wakes, was duly
brought before the lord mayor and
chnrged wltb this heinous offense. Tbe
humane Mr. Woods put him in prison,
but omitted to make an order for tbe
flogging ou tbe warrant of committal,
so that the prisoner escaped this most

New Rays of Light
One of. tbe most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the X-ray which may be
used both in the treatment of various dis
eases and In the diagnosis of muny ob
scure conditions. With Its aid the in
terior of the human body Is no longer the
sealed book It has been heretofore. Ab
normal states of tbe bones, gall stones,
stone In the bladder or In the kidneys, are
shown plainly by what are known as X
ray photographs. Internal tumors, and
the enlargement of the deep-seated or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and In tbe diagnosis of tuberculosis of
the lungs this agmt has proven a most
valuable aid. When applied to some of
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin it has proven very effective as a
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with a specially prepared
carbon upon any portion of the body that
may be the scat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains,
sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (the oHgln of which cannot at
times be accurately determined) frequent
ly find Immediate relief from a single
treatment and usually with a little per
sistence in the use of this aid, comfortable
health oj. perfect recovery Is obtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
of a cabinet In which the patient is
bathed in the combined rays of many
electric, light globes, has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes, sciatica,
rheumatism, obesity, antonila, and somo
forms of kidney and heart trouble. It
has also proven valuable In chronic bron
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. As a general hygienic measure
its efliclency can scarcely be over-estimated.
Those who have been patients at Dr.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, In Buffalo, N. Y.,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Sanitarium, where the above men
tioned electric machinos, high-frequency
current, and other most modern and up-to-date
apparatus are used for the cure
of chronic disoases. The treatment of
the chronic diseases that are peculiar to
women have lor many years been a large
factor in the euros affected at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
in erecting the Invalids Hotel, Dr. R.
V. Pierce's Idea was to make It a gonulno
home, not a hospital. Such cases as rup
ture, hydrocelo and varicocele are usually
cured in ton days, and the patient is able
to return homo. The terms are moderate
and the rutes at the Invalids' Hotel com
paratively low. In tho examination and
treatment of patients the practice Is
divided into specialties. Each member of
the Faculty, although educated to prac
tice In all departments of medicine and
surgery, Is hero assigned to a special de
partment only, to which lie devotes bis
entire time, study and attention. Not
only Is superior skill thus attained, bat
also rapidity and accuracy in tho diagno
sis of disease. ,
Specialists connected with this Insti
tute at Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
dotormiuo the nature of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This method
of treating patients at a distance, by mail,
has been so successful that there It
scarcely a city or a villago In the United
States that is not represented by one or
mora cases upon tho records of practice
at tho Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated In this way, which roqulro surgi
cal operations or careful after-treatment,
or electrical tkorapouties, receive the ser
vices of the most skillful specialists at
tho Institution.
In medicine thero has been rapid pro
gross during recent years. Dr. Pierce has
kept up with the times by continually Im
proving his laboratory by skilled chemists,
and exercising care that the Ingredients
entering into his well-known medicines
Dr. I'lore.e's Favorlto Prescription as well
as the"l!oldon Medical Discovery" are ex
tracted from the best variety of nativo
medicinal roots. These are gathered with
great care and at the proper season of the
year, so that their medicinal properties
may be most reliable
Those extracts are then made soluble
In pure triple rollned glycerine and bottled
In a hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the World's Dispensary as established by
Dr. Pierce is supplied with every kiiown
apparatus and means of cure, for its aim
Is to avoid surgical operations whenever
possible.
Croat earn is exercised not to over en
courage those who consult tho specialists
of this institution Unit no false hopes
may be raised.
Many thousands are annually treated
both through correspondence and at this
Institute. Every one consulting by letter
or la person receives the most caroful and
considerate attention. All communica
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever Is mado for con
sultation. . . , ,

siah, but they had given heed to those
which spoke of tbe power that would
oine to the Jewish nation.
Other Scriptures tell of how Messiah
should "be led as a I.amb to the
slaughter, nnd as a sheep before her
shearers Is dumb, so fie would opeu
not Ills month." They tell of how He
would "preach deliverance to the cap
tives," and the opening of the eyes of
the blind, but this they associated with
the glorious Kingdom. Their .difficulty
was that they lacked humility and
were not tenchnble. The "Israelites in
deed." had misunderstandings of the
prophecies but were open to conviction,
and to these the Master's teachings
were attractive. They were guided to
the correct understanding of the Divine
Plan, aud were ready for the Pentecos
tal blessing as part of the "elect"
. No Sign but That of Jonah.
Our lesson tells thnt Jesus asked.
Why doth this gent-ration seek after
a slgnr refusing to give them a sign.
St. Mntthew (xvl. 1-4) gives a more
detnlled account: Jesus called the at
tention of the" Pharisees to the signs
that He was giving, and then said there
would be one "sign" given that nation
That "sign" did have a great effect
upou thousands of Jews on Pentecost
Day. and upon their hearing St Pe

Ills three days In the tomb and His
resurrect lou. Jesus cited the sign of
Jonah-thut so the Son of Msn would
be a similar rlod In the earth, and
so He would come forth.

Tho Leaven of tho Pharisoes.
Jesus cautioned Ills disciples agninBt'
tbe doctrine of the Pharisees He ilk-,
ened It to leaven. Clod's Word is
Truth, the bread upon which His poo
ple are to feed: hut they are to use
pure Truth. This caution was neces
sary because the Phnrlsees were the
most holy sect amongst the Jews The
most zealous Jews, therefore, were at

Porcoivo Yo Not Yot?".
The disciples missed the point of Je
sus' parabolic statement about the leav?
en of the Pharisees. Their eyes of un
derstanding were not widely open, and
Jesus plainly told them that they were
slow to perceive the spirit of His words.
He reminded them of the five thou

other feeding of

The same thing
la noticeable today
in Bible Study; the
spirit of our Lord's
teachings is often
missed by some
whose minds center

Tho remedy for this Is a more careful
study of the Divine Word.
Another Peculiar Healing.
At Kethsaida a blind man was
brought to 11 iu. Jesus led him out
beyond the village and spat upou his
eyes and put His bands upon him and
asked him If he saw anything. He
said that be saw something that look
ed like trees moving about. Again
Jesus put His hands upon his eyes and
he saw clearly. The object in em
ploying this method la not clear, but
probably the man lacked faith and Je
sus was developing It In him.

MAKING OF THE KRAUT.
Today at the table I ate some saner
kraut and the tang of it barked me
back to the days of my boyhood when
the making of tbe kraut was a high
family festival.
Ever help make kraut?
There Is no mysterious formula In
the composition of the bumble, albeit
nutritious edible. It la nothing more
than cabbages and salt. But
Tbe making of It!
Father would buy a strong barrel
which mother carefully cleaned and
scalded. We children cut the cabbages
from the garden and piled tbe heads
In tbe smoke house awaiting the pro
pltlous evening.
"After supper, the whole family being
present, father first sprinkled a little
salt In the bottom of the barrel. Then
the kraut cutter was placed over tbe
tub and tbe slicing began wltb motions
like that a carpenter uses wltb his
plane. 1
The heads were sliced Into One
strings, the hearts being discarded, the
first layer went Into the barrel, a little
more salt and then
The stomper! , ' .
The stomper was fashioned like a
maul. In the beginning It was fine
fun for a hoy lo tamp the cut cabbage
into a hard pack. By aud by tbe task
became onerous and one frequently
changed bands.
But- , , ;
Will you ever forget to your dying
day the compensation afforded by lift
ing out the stomper and scrnplng from
Its bottom tin1 delectable shavings?
And thus proceeded the making of
the Era ut.- each layer of some four
Inches being sprinkled with suit anil
tamped until the Imrrel was full and
mot ior said: .
: uy n children should ,hnve lieen in
bed two hours nyo."
When you got up In the morning a
layer of brine covered I he top of the
barrel. Father put a wide hoard over
It. with a rock for weight, anil In ten
days you could relish thnt rare delicacy
that epicures never know
"Pigs knuckle mlt kraut,"
Mostly nowadays rabbages an
raised In big fields and the kraut Is
made In factories and sold by the
grocers, but what would yon m give
could you go back to those dn.vs-and
bring hack from thnt echoless shore
the dear oiica'-aud live over again the
fun nnd the fine family spirit and the
homely feel of the kraut making?
Couldn't Dazzls Mammy.
Tbe young man of the house really
was making good In a way thnt de

much flattery from friends and neigh

ant, remained lU'tcmtrecHed. One day
when he had doue a particularly bril
liant piece of surgical work and deliv
ered an especially profound address
before a great convention be snld to
mammy. "I'm not a baby any longer,
and I think yon aught to call me Mr.
Charles hereafter." The old darky
snorted her Indignation.
"Who me?" she asked.' "1 ain't
