thau any other remedy. Those who
have once tried it alwavs keep a bottle

Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. JVI. L. Bobbitt of
Bargertown, Tenn., saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful pbysioiacs and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking ber life. In
this terrible hour Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption turned despair
into joy. The first bottle brought im
mediate relief and it9 continued use
completely cured her. It's the most cer

"I read somewhere, not Ions Rffo, a
story of an Impetuous young fellow
who permitted his bad temper and his
imagination to lead him into striking
a. blind man," said a trfasury special
agent who is on the road a pood deal,
relates the Washington Star. "The
story went that he was standing at a
street car transfer station with a young
woman, waiting for a car, -when he no
ticed a man standing a short dis
tance away staring, or appearing to
stare, pretty hard at the girl. There
was, besides, a port of half-smile on the
starer's face. The impetuous young
fellow took the starer for a masher,
and he walked over and, without a
word, smashed him in the face. Then
he found out that the man he had hit
was totally blind his attendant had
left him for a moment to get something
in the corner drug store. I can imagine
how thai young chap must, if his in
stincts were right, have hated himself
for that blow how he must, indeed,
have felt like thrusting the fist that
struck the blow into the furnace, as a
young college fellow that I once knew
did after striking a wrongful blow.
"But on a Pennsylvania train, out of
Philadelphia for the west, I saw, a few
week? ago. an incident of the same gen
eral sort that impressed me as pain
fully as it did everyone else- who wit
nessed it. As for the man whore loose
ness of speech caused him to make the
sad mistake, there was really nothing
to do but to feel sorry for him.
"He was a clean, snappy, clipper-
built man verging on middle ape, and
an hour or so after the tr.iin left Phila
delphia it was during the afternoon
he started through the smoking com
partments of the chair cars and sleep
ers to get up a whist quartette.
"There were not many male passen
gers on the train, and of thefe few not
many appeared to know how to play
whist. Most of them met his invita
tion with a courteous nod. negativing
the proposition on the ground that they
didn't understand the game.
"But when a whist fiend makes up his
mind to assemble a party on board a
train he never gives up trying until he
has succeeded or rendered a good many
travelers nervous, and that was the
case with this solid-looking but snappy
Philadelphia.
"After herculean exertions, in vol v- ,
ing many excited and beseeching tours
through several cars, he finally got hold :
of two men who announced their will
ingness to take a hand. Then, of course,
he became more strenuous than ever in
his effort to get the final player.
He appeared for the fourth succes
sive time in the smoking compartment,
in which I sat, and beggtd each of us
once again to 'fill up the four.' Most
of the men in the compartment, includ
ing myself, didn't know the game of
whist, and we succeeded in convincing
the snappy-looking man that we were
telling the truth about it.
"The last man that he tackled for the
fourth successive time was a fine-looking
fellow of 30 or so, whose face had a
look of trouble in it, although he replied
courteously enough to the whist fiend's
invitations. Each time he said, in a low
tone, that he did not feel like taking a
hand.
"On this last time around the whist
fiend said to him:
" 'You'll make the fourth, I'm sure.
Come ahead. Table's all ready and the
game's waiting.'
" 'No,' was the reply of the man with
the troubled expression. T don't foci
like joining in. I should like to oblige,
but ,' and his voice broke a trifle at
that, and some of us in the compartment
could see that the man was under a
train. But the whist field didn't see it.
"'You play, don't you?' he persisted.
res, l piay, was ine reply, sun a
little hoarse and then he turned and
gazed out of the window.
" 'Huh I can't understand a man
knowing how to play whist and not
wanting to play it blamed if I can,' im
patiently mumbled the whist fiend as he
started to go out of the car, and he
muttered something, too, as he reached !
the door, that sounded a good deal like j
'lobster.' j
The man with the troubled look
turned his head about quickly from tho
window, and he had gone a bit pale, a
we could see. He didn't rise from his
seat, but he stretched forth a long arm,
grasped the whist fiend by the sleeve of
his coat, and pulled him into a seat.
" 'My friend,' he said to the startled
whist fiend and there was a wan and
gray look around his mouth as he spoko
'you should restrain your impatience
and your tongue. I am not a lobster.
There is no law compelling me to tell
you why I do not elect to join your game
of whist, but I shall tell you, not because
you have any right to question or im
pugn the motives of a stranger, but be
cause your deficiency In tact will stand
correction. I am not Joining your whist
party because the casket containing the
body of my wife Is on the beggagv car
attached to this train.5
"Then the man with the troubled look
gazed once more out of the window, nor
did he turn his head again. The expres
sion that appeared In the face of the
whist field was so absolutely pitiful, in
!ts eloquence of the man's mental self
denunciation, that we eouldn't help but
sympathize with him.
'A thousand pardons, old man,' ho
said, ia a v.. . i u' iKdiacad,'
and he yp- mi with the alertness
gone from hi.i ..rriage and his shoulders
hunched forw u. There was no whist
played on the train."

SOME POTATOES.
Millions I'pon Millions of Acres Are

of Different Countries.
It will astonish most people to hear
that 28,856,037 acres are annually under
potato culture in Europe, and that the
total yield therefrom is estimated at
2,329,211,560 hundredweight. The Gar
deners' Magazine states that in the mat
ter of area Russia occupies the highest
position, with 9,645,869 acres; Germany
ranks next, with 8,Ui)4,225 acres, and
France occupies the third place, with
3,818,378 acres. The potato areas in
the other countries of Europe are as fol
lows: Austria, 2,8o2,677 acres; Hungary,
1,477,164 acres; United Kingdom, 1,203,
184 acres; Italy, 516,000 acres; Holland,
386,049 acres; Sweden, 381,973 acres;
Belgium, 348,398 acres; Denmark, 133,
387 acres; Norway, 90,661 acres; Rou
mania, 26,642 acres; Servia, 15,549 acres,
and Bulgaria, 4,481 acres.
In the matter of yield, Germany is
first, with 855.277.Su5 hundredweight;
Russia second, with 5 19,045,932 hundred
weight, and France third, with 236,469,

which is sixth in area, is fifth in yield,
heading Hungary by nearly 23,000,000

SECRET OF RADIUM HEAT.
Lord Kelvin AiiKKests It May lie Sup
plied by Ethereal Waves Illus
trates His Theory.
What Prof. C. V. Boys termed "the
miracle of radium" has naturally re
ceived much attention in London scien
tific circles. At a recent meeting of the
science branch of the British associa
tion Lord Kelvin, in a paper which he
read, made an interesting suggestion in
connection with its perpetual emission
of heat at, according to M. Curie's cal
culation, a rate of about 90 centigrade
calorics per gramme per hour.
He said that if the emission of heat at
this rate went on for 10,000 hours there
would he a3 much heat as would raise
the temperature of 900,000 grammes of
water one degree centigrade. It seemed
utterly impossible to Lord Kelvin that
this would come from the store of en-
j ergy lost out of a gramme of radium in.
10,0"0 hours.
I It seemed, therefore, absolutely cer
I tain that the energy must somehow be
I supplied from without. He suggested
j that ethereal waves might in some way
; supply energy to radium while It was
j tmitting heat to matter around it.
Lord Kelvin illustrated his theory by
the following comparison: Suppose a
piece of wfiiie and a piece of black cloth,
hermetically staled in similar glass
cases, were submerged in similar glass
vessels of water and exposed to the sun.
The water in the Teasel containing the
black cloth would be kept very sensi
bly warmer than that containing the
white cloth.
Here the thermal energy was com
municated to the black cloth by waves
of sunlight and was given out as ther
mometry heat to the water In the glass
around it.
Thus through the water there was ac
tually an energy traveling inward In
virtue of tht waves of light and outward
through the same space In virtue of
thermal conduction.
Lord Kelvin suggested that experi
ments b made comparing the heat
mission from radium wholly surround
ed with thick lead with that found In
the surroumllnes heretofore used.
