Justice oli the Peace for Oconto OoM has delivered a judgment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills ai othe best Xiiiney 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 more for me than expected as I feel as well now ss ever I did before." : V Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease.. If not cared by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright' Disease, Dia betes, Rheumatism or some Of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease. V An Author PenelOned. .. ? "Two British authors ar at present In the public eyes on account of pen sions theyare receiving, j Joseph Con rad has fl.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 bis dally wants, says f JQwrKew York Globe. , The Immediate reason for the pension, moreover, was the accidental burning of a manu script, which catastrophe so depressed Mr. Conrad that his friends thought it wise to relieve him from the ne-9- cessity of anything so humdrum and sordid as looking out for his bread and V butter. - ,. . . . - The case of Conrad can hardly fall to recall that of Carlyle, who, when ' MM 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.

Frank E. Nevlns, of the United SUtes Postofflee Department, delivered "an address In which b said: , - - "The establishment of the rural free delivery of mail throughout tha coon try has produced a marked Improve ment In the condition ot the highways. When there is a prospect ot rural free delivery In a community, work Imme diately begins on the roads. There are now In operation 23,000 rural routes over which carriers travel MO, 000 miles delivering mall to about 9.000,000 people. More than - 15.000 bridges hart been constructed over streams that would not hare been built if It had not been tor the estab lishment of the free deli very system. Nearly every portion of the country, where road conditions will warrant It Is now supplied with this service. But In many sections the bad conditions ot the roads, or tha lack ot bridges, pre vent the extension of the service. The rural carrier f a standard route la now expected to travel about twenty five miles each day to earn his salary of $000 a year. He la required to fur nish and maintain his own outfit and team, and to give a bond of $500 for tha faithful performance ot bis duties. Experience has demonstrated that this distance Is too great on account ot the bad condition ot the roads. So .many carriers hare resigned, thereby caus ing much confusion and labor in the department, that the Congress Just ad journed has been compelled to add $170 a year to the salaries of the car riers ot the country. This Increase ot salaries amounts to about $4,000,000 a year additional that the department has to pay to maintain this service on account ot bad roads. Over a good graveled or macadamized pike road a carrier can easily make twenty-five miles a day six times a week, v-With tha roads as they are, it Is a question whether the next Congress will not be called upon to add another $1,000,000 to the salaries of the carriers. ! - ' "Under the road laws of most of the Western States at tha present time work is done upon the roads In the fall by the various road districts, when there Is no work to be done on the farms. In the spring this work disap pears. Nothing permanent remains, and the roads are in as bad condition, or worse, than they were before. The cost ot $2,000 to $3,000 a mile for the construction of hard roads in this Western country is too great, in most Instances, for road districts, townships and counties to bear; neither Is It right that they should bear the entire cost The public at large, which shares directly or indirectly la the benefits, should contribute to tha expense. There never will be good roads in this country until the National Government takes the Initiative in this movement and the respective States of the Union Join In with liberal contributions, and this again is supplemented by local enterprise. Continental Europe, Eng land and Ireland are covered with hard broad pikes built at the expense of the governments of those countries. No country in the world ever yet had or ever will have permanent and pass able highways constructed and main talned by local authority. "Sixty per cent of the population of this country lives in the cities and vil lages; 40 per cent lives in the country. It is not fair' or Just to place the en tire burden of good roads upon the shoulders of the farmer. The general public shares directly or indirectly In the benefits and should bear the ex pense of an equitable tax for this pur pose on all assessable values. The weight of it upon the Individual would then be as light as a summer shadow. While this specter of taxation may frighten some of our skittish country friends and cause them to rear and plunge a little, they will find on closer Inspection that the goblin is a harm less creation of the Imagination. They will get back in benefits ten times more than they will pay out in taxes. "Why some of our friends spurn Government aid when it is offered them I cannot understand. They claim to be opposed to it on principle, and can see no good in it There are some people so constructed that when look ing into a pool of water they can nev er see the sky and the clouds above It reflected on Its surface, but only the mud at the bottom. ,y "This Government never fails to do the right thing in the end. It will not fail to do the right thing In this in stance. The Impetus given to this movement by a few progressive states men who Introduced measures in Con gress last winter authorizing national aid In the construction of highways, will ultimately produce the results aimed at It cannot fall to do so be cause the public interest demands it; the progress of the age demands it the welfare and development of the country at large demand it, and it is bound to come in spite of those who raise their voices in opposition to it" FREE MEAL8 FOR PUPILS.

Treaafar Left by Imk Which May B , KeedUjr Developed. In writing with certain forms of ink on ordinary paper, placing the sheet after thorough blotting la contact with a white sheet of paper, It la possible to make on this latter aa Invisible trans ference, which, aa M. A. Bertilloa has shown, may be rendered visible by the asa of certain methods.; In fact, a let ter placed for several hours between the leaves of a book will leave Its secret in this book, and a falsification In a ledger may be proved by the ex amination of the page against which the falsified page rests. A Swiss Investigator (R. A. Relss, ot Lausanne) haa recently made Investi gations in reference to tha above phe nomenon and In reference to the con ditions under which It may be pro duced, It appears that the forma tion of tha image depends principally on the Ink, although It was discovered that tha latent Image may be produced by nearly one-half ot tha inks In cur rent use, out of thirteen different varie ties of ink seven having produced a positive result It further appeared that tha formation ot the image d pended upon tha presence of adds in the colored mixture, the gum and the sugar having no part in tha phenom ena, although the paper on which the writing, haa been placed gives different results. The beet results were obtained with paper well sized and polished, for tha reason that the contact In thla case is closer, thus favoring tha production ot tha Image. ; f The duration of the contact Is not necessarily long. In general about an hour, whlla In order to reveal the 1m age two very simple measures are re sorted to. The first method Is to ap ply the back of the sheet on which the latent image Is supposed to be a warm iron, an ordinary flatiron, which Is held La place until the paper Is slightly browned, after which the image will appear sometimes very clear and com plete. The other method doea not make any change In the paper to be exam lned. and consists in placing in con tact with the latter a sheet of nitrate of silver photographic paper for sev eral hours alx to twelve the two sheets being exposed to the light The photographic paper will completely blacken, but the latent Image will stand forth very distinctly. It should be stated that the leaf on which a latent Image exists loses this Image by contact with water or alcohoL Paris I'lllustration. The Great Raeaian Lake. Lake Baikal, which figures so much in the Oriental situation, is a some what remarkable body of water. Its name is a corruption of the Turkish Bei-kul, "rich lake" the reference be ing, presumably to the valuable fish with which it swarms. Lake Baikal ia the third largest body of water In Asia. The Caspian and Aral seas are the two larger. Both are salt, however, while Baikal Is fresh. It la, therefore, the largest fresh wa ter lake in Asia, and the sixth In size in the world, the five Great Lakes of North America each exceeding it ia area. , Its waters occupy a remarkable depression In the vast plateau of Cen tral Asia. The level of Its waters Is 1,300 feet above the sea, while tha bot tom of tha lake is, in some places, more than 8,000 feet below the sea leveL ' Its depth Is, therefore, 4,500 feet In the deepest parts. J . The lake la 830 miles long, and from nine and a quarter to forty miles wide. Its waters are a deep blue, and re markably clear r There are a number of Islands In it; the largest Olkbon, is forty-two miles long. There are nu merous hot springs on the shores, and earthquake vibrations are frequent The annual value of Its salmon, stur geon and other fisheries is about one hundred and sixty thousand, dollars. Fresh water seals are abundant and they are caught for their fur. It re ceives the waters of several streams, the main one being the Salnega River, eight hundred miles long. - The upper Angara River, also ot , considerable size, enters its northeastern end. Its outlet Is the Lower Angara, on which Irkutsk Is situated. ' ; The reason why the Siberian Rail road was hot built around the southern end ot the lake is that the solid rock of the mountains reaches to the wa ter's edge, and the task would be her culean. Events in the East may com pel it nevertheless. ' Betting ota m Sore Thing. The magistrate was German, but the prisoner at the bar wasn't "Ton been" 'here before, already said the magistrate.
