Hood's Sarsaparilla Effects permanent cures. An Author Pensioned. Two British authors are at present In the public eyes on account of pen sions they are receiving. Joseph Con rad has $1,500 from the British So ciety of Authors, which generosity Is explained by the " fact that the au thor, whose writings are among those In greatest demand by the publishers to-day, yet seems to have difficulty in providing for his daily wants, says the New York Globe. The immediate reason for the pension, moreover, was the accidental burning of a manu script, which catastrophe 60 depressed Mr. Conrad that his friends thought It wise to relieve him from the ne cessity of anything so humdrum and sordid as looking out for his bread and butter. ' The case of Conrad can hardly fall to recall that of Carlyle, who, when Mill brought the disastrous news of the destruction of a complete book of the "Revolution,"'spent the evening In attempting to cheer the culprit and then set about the rewriting. Of Wide Interest. Breed, Wis., July 18 Special Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a judgment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills aie the best Kidney medicine on the market today." And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: "Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straight en my back. I did not know what it was but an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one box I can only say they have done moro for me than expected as I feel as well now as ever I did before." Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright's Disease, Dia betes, Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease. Thinks Soap Injurious. An English writer asserts that the English people have greatly deterior ated physically because of the too fre quent use of soap. The English he ays, are too clean. The Creator gave us a natural oil to protect the skin and make It supple, and we pass our time removing this oil with soap. In con sequence, we are more vulnerable to colds, to rheumatism, and to all sorts of disease. Soap opens the pores of the skin, and disease enters with east. Her Private Opinion. "No, ma'am," said the hobo who was figuring on a handout, "I ain't no reg'lar tramp. I wuz a sailor free years ergo, but me ship got wreckt an' I wuz washed ashore." "And it's a safe bet,' retorted the unsympathetic female, "that you ain't been washed since." The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston,' Mass., is in teresting to all women. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered misery forseveral years. My back ached and I had bearing-down pains, and fre- ?uent headaches. I would often wake rom a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes jagain. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted differ ent physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pink liam's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended 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 ridf every ache and fain and restored to perfect health, feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot."

Caa 171 11 MOST THRIFTY OF NATIONS. United - States Government Expenses Smallest Per Capita. The expenditures , of the United States government are much less in proportion to population than those of many other of the leading nations of the world. This fact Is shown by a statement just published by the De partment of Commerce and Labor, through Its bureau of statistics, show lng the population, revenues, expendi tures and Indebtedness of the princi pal countries of the world. It shows that" while the expenditure of . the United States, with 80.000,000 people. is f640.000.000, that of the - United Kingdom, with its 42,000,000 people. Is $898,000,000; that of France, with 89,000.000 people, is f695.000.000; that of Germany, with 68,000,000 people, $553,000,000; while in practically every country, aside from China and India, with their enormous population, the per capita of government expenditures is greater than In .the United States. - Even In the case of Russia, with its population of 141,000,000, the per cap ita of government expenditures - is about the same as that of the United States. While It is true that a larger proportion of public expenditures is borne by state and local governments In the United States than in many of the more centralized governments of Europe, these figures of the relative national expenditures of the various governments are at least interesting at the. present time. ' The table puts the population of the United States at 80,372,000, the gov ernment expenditure in 1903 at $640, 232,000 and the per capita expenditure $7.97. The per capita government ex penditure of Canada is given at $9.30, the German Empire $9.45, Italy S 10.97, Austria-Hungary $14.27, Belgium $17.40, France $17.94, the United Kingdom $21.39 and Australia $37.( Russia's annual expenditure is put, for the latest available year, at $1,116, 095,000, as against $644,883,000 in the United States; but the fact that Rus sia's population is given as 141,000,000 brings the per capita expenditure to about the figure shown by the United States. THE PRIDE OF THE 200. A dainty little girl In pale blue frock, her golden hair prettily tossed by the wind, seated on the broad back of a rhinoceros Is the most interesting picture to greet the eyes of the visitor who is spending an afternoon at the Berlin zoo. Little Veilchen, or Violet the diminutive lady who has succeeded In taming one of the most intractable of beasts, Is the, daughter of Keeper Schwartzen, of the animal house at the zoo, and although she can count but seven summers, her fame has gone far abroad. For every one else in the world, not excluding his keeper, the huge thick skinned animal ' Is one of the ugliest and croBscBt members of the zoo fam lly. But the moment little Veilchen appears on the scene the great -monster becomes as mild and docile as a lamb and tries by the most absurd amblings and twisting of his ungainly body td exprcBS the pleasure that her dainty presence affords him. But the hap piest hour of the big beast's day comes when his fragile little mistress is lift ed to his huge back for their after noon amble through the park. He is quite a picture - of contentment, and not even the ugly tusk that adorns his upper lip is able entirely to destroy his air of satisfaction. A SPREADING FASHION.

The people are uwake and astir, says the author of "Greater Russia,"- They are making new de mands and feeling a new freedom which is apparent every day in the absence of the former rigid repres sion, and in the frequent indulgence in license that is miscalled 'liberty.' One wilt sometimes see on the pal ace quay at St Petersburg a line of people waiting for the steamer to take them ' to the islands. - Along comes some high official who, instead of awaiting his turn, drives to the head of the line and crowds in ahead of the others. Formerly such an occur rence would have been received in silence as a matter of course, but now the people hiss and denounce the offi cial, and police do not interfere. If a street car is delayed for a con nection at some transfer Station, the passengers often become riotous and demand meir fare back, or begin to pound on the floor and even break windows until the police make the driver go ahead without waiting for the other .car; and he is not allowed to stop again until he reaches his destination. If an officer remonstrates with a street car conductor for lack of cour tesy to a passenger the crowd will at once interfere, and even the offended passenger turns on him. The officer is told to give his orders to soldiers who have to obey, not to free men who do not, and not to interfere be tween men who are as good as he is. These are trifling things in them selves, -says the traveler, but to one who has long known Russia they are startling signs of a new spirit - of freedom.

Two horses, weighing 1,600 pounds each, together pulled 3,700 pounds, or 550 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant, weigh ing 12,000 pounds, pulled 8,750 pounds, or 3,250 pounds less than his weight Fifty men, aggregating about 7,500 pounds in weight, pulled 8,750 pounds, or just as much as the single elephant. But, like the horses, they pulled more than their own weight.

Edgar had been asked to write . a composition about the camel.
