TRUTH TRIUMPHS.
Gainesville Citizens Testify for the
Public Benefit.
A truthful statement of a Gaines- i
ville citizen, given in his own words,
■should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from headache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
use a tested kidney medicine.
A Gainesville citizen tells of
Doan’s Kidey Pills.
Could you demand more convinc
ing proof of merit?
Mrs. Harry Thomas. 7 Grove St.,
Gainesville,. Ga., says: “I am only
too willing to end rse Doan's Kid

ever said about th< . i. I recommend
this remedy whenever I have an

A Me-ve! .. r Orients! Art Ths. is a
T1 usand Years Ob’.
What is probably the most ex
traordinary lamp in the world is
one, said lo be more than 1,000
years old, which forms a part of the
art collection of the emperor of
Japan.
In this lamp the oil is stored in
the body of a rat, which sits upon
the top of a pole. Halfway down
the pole and resting on a projecting
bracket is a saucer, in the center of
which is a pin that connects it with
the bracket on which it rests. In
this saucer and leaning over its side
is a wick. When the saucer is filled
with oil and the wick is lit there
is presented a lamp that exhibits no
peculiar qualities until the greater
part of the oil has been consumed.
Then suddenly a stream, which suf
fices to replenish the now nearly ex
hausted saucer, issues from the
mouth of the rat.
The saucer being full, no more
oil is discharged from the rat’s
mouth until it is again nearly
empty, when the creature sitting
above yields a further supply, and
so on till its store of oil is exhaust
ed. The manner in which this is ac
complished is simple.
A peg that rises in the center of
the saucer and attaches it to the
support on which it rests, termi
nates in a knob or cap, but the peg
is hollow and is connected with the
body of the rat by a tube which
runs along the bracket and ascends
through the stand to the upper por
tion of the rat’s body.
The pin which stands in the cen
ter of the saucer, it should be re
membered, is perforated immedi
ately below its cap or about half an
inch above the saucer. It is obvious,
then, that when the oil sinks to a
point at which the hole is exposed
air will enter and thus allow the oil
to run out of the rat’s mouth, but
when this hole is again covered by
oil, no further air is admitted, and
therefore no more oil can run from
the rat’s mouth.—Buffalo Express.
India’s Hoarded Gold.
What does India do with all the
gold it takes away from the rest of
the world ? In the last ten years
India has drawn more than $65,-
000,000 of gold, which is almost
one-fourth of the world’s produc
tion in that time, from the western
world, and the greater part of it
has disappeared from the usual
channels of trade and finance. To
draw this immense amount from the
commercial world and pay for it in
goods, is of course an economic
drain on India. Yet it does not
seem to suffer more by the process
than does the rest of the world
when, thinking it has gold for gen
eral use, it discovers that the part
of its imagined supply which goes
to India is lost as completely as if
buried.
Antiquity of Football.
Football is a very old game. It
has been found among savage tribes
as far apart as the Eskimos and the
Maori, the Polynesians and the
Philippine islanders, and it existed
in ancient Greece. The Romans ap
pear to have had both a Rugby and
a “soccer” game, and tradition cred
its the Roman legions with the in
troduction of football into England.
And then, again, Irish antiquarians
assert that it was being played in
their country long before the Ro
mans came to Britain. It is prob
ably the oldest game in the world
next to knucklebones.
The Laird and the King.
Edward Legge in his book, “More
About King Edward,” says the late
monarch was ruffled on two occa
sions by Andrew Carnegie.
Once at Skibo castle Mr. Carnegie
had the courage to quote Joaquin
Miller’s invocation: “Hail! Fat
Edward!” His majesty, it is said,
did not like the tactless application.
On another occasion King Ed
ward was “very angry” because the
millionaire declined to subscribe to
his majesty’s hospital fund.
Paper Fasteners.
The little paper fastener that
holds together a number of loose
sheets is more tlian 2,000 years old.
Such a device was used by the Ro
man soldiers of that era as an inci
dental of their costumes of uni
form. The belt of thin copper worn
by the ancient legions was fastened
to a strip of cloth, serving as a lin- j
ing. with a series of little bronze I
clasps precisely like in principle the :
paper fastener of today.
Picking Your Company.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is noted for
her epigrams. Her latest to be
quoted in New York was a remark
vhich she addressed to a young
matron who is at the same time
ultra exclusive and ultra sharp
tongued.
“My dear,” said Mrs. Fish to tbih
.oung woman, “pick your company
—’ it don’t pick them to pieces.”—

FANNIM THE SAILS
No Amount of Wind Raised
Aboard a Ship Can Propel It.
CONTRARY TO NATURAL LAW.
As a Matter of Fact, the Force of the
Air Driven Against the Cahvas
Would Have a Tendency to Send the
Vessel Backward Instead of Forward.
“If an electric fan could be made
i large enough to throw a sufficient
amount of wind to move a small sail
boat and such a fan was placed on the
end of a boat with the wind from the
fan blowing against the sail on the
j very boat the fan is on. is it possible
I that it could move the boat? The ar
; gument is that the fan. being on the
same boat as the sail, cannot move
I itself. But as the air detaches itself
from the fan and hits the sail, my idea
is that it can. provided it has the
strength to move the boat Please give
an answer.”
This question is worth answering be
cause it involves a principle of physics
that ought to be universally under
stood and Ignorance of which may lead
to the waste of both time and money
upon inventions that will not work.
The writer of the question thinks
that because the air, as she expresses
it, Is “detached from” the fan when it
starts off to strike the sail, it ought to
act like an ordinary wind and push the
boat before It But she would not think
so If she reflected that the particles of
air driven from the fan resemble a
swarm of bullets shot from a gun.
The air particles get their force from
the fan as the bullets get theirs from
the gun. and just as the gun recoils
with a force equal to that which it im
parts to the bullets, so the fan, wheth
er driven by electricity or steam or
turned by hand, inevitably recoils with
the same amount of force that it im
parts to the air.
To make clearer the comparison be
tween a stream of bullets from a gun
and a stream of wind from an electric
fan, imagine a Maxim gun placed at
the rear of a boat and an impenetrable
target at the front, and then suppose
that the gun should hurl a continuous
current of bullets against the target
Anybody can see that the boat would
not be driven forward, because the
recoil of the gun would constantly
force it backward with the same
energy with which the bullets, striking
the target, forced it ahead.
But if the gun were placed on shore
or on another support its stream of
bullets striking the target would drive
the boat forward, because then their
effect would be like that of a wind
blowing freely across the water and
having no connection with anything on
the boat.
An ordinary wind is able to drive a
boat whose sail it strikes because its
reaction (that of the wind) is not upon
the boat, but upon the great mass ot
the atmosphere or upon the earth.
The principle to be remembered,
and ignorance or forgetfulness of
which has cost the happiness of more
than one uneducated inventor’s life, is
that no mechanical force can be pro
duced without an expenditure of en
ergy precisely equivalent Never for
get that there can be no action with
out equal reaction and that If the ac
tion takes its origin within the limits
of the thing that is acted upon the
reaction will also be felt within those
same limits.
Your electric fan would drive a toy
vessel placed on the deck of your
boat, although It would not drive the
boat itself, because, with regard to
the toy vessel, the breeze from the fan
would have an independent origin, like
an ordinary wind blowing over a lake,
and its reaction would not be upon
the toy, but upon the boat over whose
deck the toy glided.
If you are inside a car and push upon
the car you cannot move it as you could
if you stood upon the ground outside
and pushed, in the first case your
action and reaction are both upon the
car. but in the second case the action
is upon the car and the reaction upon
the ground outside. The same thing
happens if you suspend a bar above
your head and lift yourself by pulling
down on it. and afterward put the bar
under your feet and try to lift yourself
by pulling up on it. You succeed in
lifting yourself in the first case, but
you fail in the second, because when
the bar is under your feet the force
of your pull reacts upon your own
body and urges it down just as much
as up.
There is one effect of the electric fan
which might surprise you—it would
tend to drive your boat backward in
stead of forward. It would push
against air like the propeller of an
aeroplane, and to make it drive your I
boat forward you would have to face
the fan around, so that its reaction
would be upon the atmosphere behind
instead of ahead of the boat, and in
either case your sail would be not only ■
useless but an encumbrance.—Garrett
P. Serviss in New York Journal.

SPANKED THE RUFFIAN.
Remington Did d’.e- Job Well and the
Di-tu er Suocided.
The late Frederic Kemington had
a personality as original and viva
cious as his artistic style. His
friends have scores of amusing an
ecdotes to tell of him. It was E. W.
Kemble who introduced me to Fred
eric Remington in 1890, writes Mr.
Augustus Thomas in the Century
Magazine. The two illustrators
were close friends, and they under
stood one another perfectly.
They sat together one night on a
late train out of New York, Rem
ington by the car window and Kem
ble next to the aisle. An obstreper
ous commuter who had been drink
ing was disturbing the passengers
with his noise. Neither conductor
nor brakeman could make him be
have himself. The men passengers
seemed afraid of him. The rowdy
grew intolerable.
As he passed Kemble’s side on his
third blatant parade through the
car Remington reached out into the
aisle and, with a mighty grip, lifted
him from his feet like a naughty
boy and laid him face downward
over Kemble’s lap. Then, as Rem
ington held the ruffian fast, Kemble
spanked him, while the man’s legs
wriggled frantically for a foothold.
The correction, prolonged and vig
orous, was acclaimed jjv roars of
laughter from the other passengers..
When it wafe over Remington stood
the offender on his feet. The man
began a profane tirade. Before he
had got half a dozen words out
Remington had him face down
again and Kemble was at work as
before. That was enough, and when
they let the follow go he rapidly
disappeared into another car.
Coronets.
The coronet of a duke consists of
alternate crosses and leaves, the
leaves being a representation of the
leaves of the parsley plant. The
princes of the blood royal also wear
a similar crown. The state head
gear of a marquis consists of a dia
dem surrounded by flowers and
pearls placed alternately. An earl,
however, has neither flowers nor
leaves surmounting his circlet, but
only points rising, each with a pearl
on the top. A viscount has neither
flowers nor points, but only the
plain circlet adorned with pearls,
which, regardless of number, are
placed on J;he crown itself. A baron
lias only six pearls on the golden
border, not raised, to distinguish
him from an earl, and the number
of pearls render his diadem distinct
from that of a viscount.
Seeing Ourselves.
“The man who can pick out the
best picture of himself is a rare
bird,” said a photographer. “Even
an author, who is reputedly a poor
judge of his own work, exercises
vast wisdom in selecting his best
book compared with the person who
tries to choose his best photograph.
Every famous man or woman who
has been photographed repeatedly
has his favorite picture. Usually it
is the worst in the collection. It
shows him with an unnatural ex
pression sitting or standing in an
unnatural attitude.
“The inability to judge of his
best picture must be due to the
average man’s ignorance as to how
he really looks, or perhaps it can
be partly attributed to a desire to
look other than he does.”
Frame Houses.
The life of a frame house de
pends in a measure upon the quality
of the material used in its construc
tion. Some houses built twenty
years ago are better investments
today than many dwellings put up
recently. Tests have shown that
some old woods are stronger than
new. With age, wood undergoes a.
hardening process. There is one-
I sure way to determine whether the
■ structure of a frame house is really
■ deteriorating. Look at one of the
beams supporting the walls on the
foundation. You may have to
knock away a bit of plaster to ex
pose the beam. But, as likely as
not, you will find it exposed in
some place in the cellar, and that
will tell the tale. Good House-
) keeping.
The Python.
Contrary to general belief, the
python or boa constrictor rarely at
tacks people and is looked upon
very differently by the people from
the hamadryad and cobra. The py--
thon will take up his abode in a
neighborhood and will not disturb
anything except the henroosts.
These he disturbs very much, as he
has a great fondness for chickens;
also for a stray dog or small goat.
I know of one case, however, where
a python attacked a woman and,
contrary to the preconceived idea,
did not crush her in his folds, but
attempted to swallow her, com
mencing with one of her feet. When
rescued her foot and ankle were
badly lacerated by the snake’s teeth.
