It Is not a pleasant thought that the brilliant white note paper which your hand rests upon may have in it the fiber from the filthy garment of some Egyptian fellah after it has passed through all the stages of decay until it is saved by the ragpicker from the gutter of an Egyptian town; and yet it is a fact that hundreds of tons of Egyptian rags ar.e exported every year into America to supply our paper mills. At Mannheim on the Rhine the American importers have their rag picking houses, where the rags are collected from all over Europe, the disease-infected Levant not excepted. Our best papers are made of these rags, and our common ones of wood pulp. Lesson for Women. Jersey Shore, Pa., Sept. 26 (Special) "Dodd's Kidney Pills have done worlds of good for uie." That's what Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. "I was laid np sick," Mrs. Earnest f continues, "and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to nse Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am o I can work and go to town without Buffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good aeaeon to praise them everywhere." Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is, "cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and your suffering will cease. Woman's health depends almost entire ly on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys. As riches and favor forsake a man we discover him to be a fool, but nobody could hud it out in his prosperity. Bru gere.

Man has Just learned how to flee from the malaria-bearing mosquito, and now, If he could, he would teach pear trees to avoid the blight-carrying uoney bee. Experiments conducted in California, and recently reported to the Botanical Society of America, in dicate that bees are active agents in the spread of pear blight at the period when the trees are in bloom. Pear trees protected with coverings, after the analogy of mosquito nets, which prevented bees from reaching their blossoms, were unaffected with blight, while other neighboring trees not thus protected were badly blighted. Other honey-seeking insects besides bees also carry Infection. Dr. Max Wolf, of Heidelberg, has photographed a remarkable nebula in the constellation Cyngus, which, on ac count of Its shape, he calls the "Amer ica nebula." It is the first time that such an object has been named for any of the natural divisions of the earth. Dr. Wolf's photograph shows a really striking likeness to an outline map of North America. The softly glowing nebula represents the form of the continent surrounded by the dark background of the heavens as by an ocean. The narrowing toward the outh, the huge gap of the Gulf of Mexico, and the graceful curve of the coast of Central America and the Isth mus are to be seen. Prof. Charles Baskerville.i of the University of North Carolina, has dis covered two new chemical elements. allied to thorium, from which the man tles of Welsbach burners are derived. He has named one of them oaroliniiim, in honor of his State, and the other berzelium, after the name of the great Swiss chemist, Berzellus. Both the new elements are radio-active, giving off rays that penetrate metals, wood and other substances, and that are ca pable of producing photographic and visible light effects. Like other radio active elements, they are of high at omic weight Prof. Baskervllle has been on the track of these new ele ments for several years. A German experimenter describes a singular electric phenomenon exhibited by & glass tubeful of radium bromide. The substance had been sealed up in the tube in December, 1902. Six months later the experimenter was about to open the tube with a file, but as soon as the metal touched the glass the tube was pierced by a brilliant electric spark, accompanied by a sharp sound. It is thought that the retention in the tube of the positively charged Alpha particles, which cannot penetrate glass, and the continual escape of the nega tlvely charged Beta particles, which do penetrate glass, set up a difference in the electric potential inside and out side the tube so great that at last a spark was able to pass through the glass wall. QUEER BOATS OF THE ORIENT. PIctureaque Craft Used by Natives In the Far East. To the eyes of the Westerner, un accustomed to the wild, viking nature of the ocean that, icy cold, gnaws away at his coast, now and again toss ing upon the beaches to bones of an other of its victims, the gingerbread boats of the Far East seem queer in deed. One wonders how the dugouts, the shallow boats with their sails of matting, the uniymmetrlcal craft with low bows and grotesque overhanging sterns, can weather storms, says the Montreal Family Herald. And most wonderful of all is that wizard of the sea, the flying proa of Guam, which "Hits over the swelling tide" with the speed of the flying Deutsohland, and on which, it has been asserted, one may travel to an island ninety miles away, transact one's business and re turn While the hour hand circles once around the dial. An acquaintance with these boats convinces one that the law of the survival of the fittest holds true in this respect as In others. The flying proa Is aptly named. As one leans Indolently over the rail of the steamer, dropping anchor in the La- drone Islands, glad once more to see land, one observes In the distance a triangular sail. It seems to be flying over the water. It quickly draws near, and is seen to be attached to a queer- looking craft about thirty feet long, The mast is set In the middle of the narrow hull, hardly more than two feet wide, and at each end la seated 1 a native, with paddle in hand. From one side protrude pieces of bamboo, which support at their ends, eight or ten feet from the bellying side of the boat ,and parallel to it an outrigger. Its pointed end, flying along just above the water, now and again tops the crests of the waves, throwing up little Jets of spray as it does so. Skimming along with the lightness and speed of an ice yacht, the two curious natives are soon far ahead of the anchored steamer. Then something odd happens. The craft falls away from the wind slightly, the sail is swung half way round, and this queer craft la coming back along Its track. The bow has become stern, and he who sat there when the proa flew past is now the helmsman. With wind still abeam, the queer vessel scuds past again on the other side of the steamer, revealing an other oddity. This side of the hull la perpendicular and as flat as a board. In Northern India, in the shadow of the unsurmountable Himalayas, a craft quite the opposite to the flying proa in speed and airy gracefulness Is used. It must be slower even than the ancient basUetllke coracle of the Welshman. It is an inflated bullock skin. The natives do not look exactly like Jolly Bacchuses as they paddle their way across the swift SutleJ river astride their uncouth craft India has, perhaps, as great a variety of small craft as one could find In any coun try. Nearly every port has its peculiar type. Some of the Indian boats have no masts at all. Such are the river house boats in Nrtbprn India, which one may charter for $20 or $30 a month for a season, this sum paying for the serv ices of a family of servants to do all the work, including moving the boat as often as desired. The servants live In the rear of the boat while the re mainder is occupied by those who are seeking relief from the fervid heat of the sun in this way. Many of the Ma layan boats have overhanging galleries at both bow and stern for convenience of operation. Some have sails of mat ting, suggesting oriental Banners as they hang from the masts. The Asiatic ' watermen and their boats are inseparable, and in India, Slam and China thousands are born, live and die on them. In Hongkong harbor 20,000 live in boats, and in Can ton the number has been estimated at 200,000. Their boats are arranged in blocks and lanes by the authorities. Sometimes one sees in a Chinese port a boat which is peculiar, not because of its appearance, but because of Its use. This is the floating warehouse for the storage of the curse of the Chi nese, opium. Among the skillful watermen are the Hawaiian;, who, like many of the oth er Polynesians, have a boat with an outrigger. The play of the Polynesian centers about his canoe, and there is said to be no sport in any country which surpasses the surf riding of the Hawaiian. In the Philippine islands may be seen a narrow boat with two outriggers, one on each side of the nar row hull. TOOTHPICK HABIT. So Prevalent In Chicago that It Affords a Clue to Character. We have the drink habit, the card playing habit, the tobacco habit in fact, habits Innumerable, but there Is one habit of which little has been said, although it is present among us. It is the toothpick habit, and It Is as firmly rooted in those who have it as any of the more objectionable ones. Observe a man coming down State street early in the morning. He has one of the little bits of wood in his mouth. Now, here is where a little character reading comes in. If he bB of a quick, high-strung, nervous tem perament. In a few minutes' time he will have chewed up one end of It and turned the other end In his mouth to masticate. This end is also soon re duced to pulp and n fresh toothpick takes its place. He reaches his place of business or employment, but the toothpick still sticks there, nor does ho have his mouth free of one until his stock is entirely exhausted or he Is tired out In the former case a match is resorted to or a few toothpicks bor rowed from a neighbor, which he will repay when he obtains a fresh stock at the reseaurant where he eats his luncheon. Cool, phlegmatic persons will keep a toothpick in their mouths for sev eral hours. A man of moody or trou bled mind will let bis toothpick drop listlessly downward; a man with his mind intent on one thing will close his teeth on it and It will stick out straight, while a happy-go-lucky per son, or one with mind free from enre, will have his toothpick at an upward angle, or constantly shifting about in the mouth. I tell you, that habit Is a great index to a man's thoughts and characteristics. The cashier of a lending cafe, whose desk is right where the box of tooth picks is, says the habit is growing to such an extent as to keop them busy filling the box anew. "And worst of all," she remarked, "they seam unable to break themselves of the habit After gazing furtively around, a man will grab up a handful of toothpicks and hastily thrust them in his vest pocket with a .runty look."
