EXPERIMENTS WITH PETS.
Madagascar Monkey Required Too
Much Attention—So Did Fox
Cub for That Matter.
A miniature Madagascar mon
key was my next experiment,
says a writer in Loudon An
swers, and the advent and so
journ of the unhappy little crea
ture reminded me of the time
when three of the children were
down with measles and bronchi
tis at once. We nursed him
night and day in a cozy little
bed made of tiannel before a
warm lire for a fortnight, while
he passed his time in panting and
looking pitiful. At the end of this
period I returned him in a big
hamper, with a hot water bottle
to keep his temperature up, to
the dealer.
Hennie was a fox cub, and a
sportsman to the foxine equiva
lent for his linger tips. Al
though great favorites as pets in
captivity in the country, I gath
ered, the experiment of keeping
young foxes near towns and cit
ies had not yet been tried, but
f there was no reason why it
should not succeed. He was kept
fastened up in a kennel in the
garden, and how he used to get
out baffled me, but get out he did.
He recognized the fact that the
worldowed him a living, and that
he was indebted to me for pro
viding him with a home. His con
tributions toward defraying the
expenses of that home took the
form of whatever feathered crea
tures crossed his path during his
mysterious peregrinations.
Eight chickens, four pigeons, a
magpie and smaller fry were all
laid out in triumph at various
times for inspection in front of
his kennel, but when, after it peri
od of • enforced inactivity,
brought t about by his being
locked up in the toolhouse, he es
caped. and out Heroded Herod
by weighing in with a poll parrot
and it feather-headed mop, 1 was
constrained to send him away its
a present to it lady friend of the
editor's whom I had heard ex
press an affection for dumb an
imals.
And so 1 have gone back to my
my old terrier (’hips. He is a
chum, though he cannot speak a
word except with his honest
brown eyes; but In1 minds what I
say to him, which is more than
anybody or anything else in this
world ever did, not excepting tin*
office boy.
BY THE SENSE OF SMELL
Expert’s Nose the Only Means Used
to Determine the Value and
Fineness of Wine.
An interesting disquisition on
the preparation of Spanish wines
was delivered at Selbach’s 1»v
tieorge <\ Howell, of New York,
says the Louisville Herald.
“W hen the grapes are crushed
and t he juice lias been extracted,”
said Mr. Howell, “it is placed in
big Hid gallon butts and left to
stand. For six years it is not even
touched. Then a wine (‘Xpert goes
through the butts testing them by
smell. His nose is the only means
used to determine the value and
fineness of the wine.
"Now. it is a peculiar fact, and
one that has never been explained,
that from tin* same vintage, se
cured under the same circum
stances, many different grades of
wine will be secured. Some of it
will be pale, some medium, some
dark. Only about one-third of it
will be of the best quality. It is
(lie duty of the wine tester, b ‘
means of his nose alone, to deter
mine what butts contain the pale
wine, and so forth, and what but
contain the best. He is able tV
separate the various qualities.
Then the wine is bottled, labeled,
and shipped to foreign consuin
trs.”

COAL IN RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
Extensive Beds of the Fuel Brought
to Light by the Discovery
of Petroleum.
It was not until the discovery
of petroleum in southern Russia
that tin* presence of extensive
; i-oaI beds in that region was sns
peeled by geologists. Since that
time it lias been clearly shown
that European Russia, to say
nothing of Siberia, possesses one
valuable coal field in her south
eastern provinces, through which
the River Donetz runs, a field
which yields fuel of excellent
quality. Thirty years ago the out
put did not exceed 100.000 tons;
last year it was 9,000.000, and
this is only half the possible
amount. Strange to say, the
home demand does not rise to
even this small quantity and the
Mining association of south
Russia is considering whether it
cannot compete with English
coal in the ports of the Mediter
ranean. There is small hope of
their doing anything of the kind,
but if the czar's government
would give its 120,000,000 sub
jects peace, an economical admin
istration and a rational fiscal
system IS.000.000 tons of coal
would be too little—plus the pe
troleum of Baku—and not too
much even for southern Russia.
South Russia coal is shipped
from tin* port of Mariupol, on the
Sea of Azov. That sea has late
ly exhibited a somewhat rare phe
nomenon. Its waters are shallow
and for several days, dating from
December 1 •*». they receded under
the influence of strong winds to
such an extent that at Taganrog
tin* bed of the sea was visible for
several miles. A late eminent
Canadian geologist. Sir \Y. Daw
son. after inquiries on the spot in
Egypt, believed the passage of I he
Red sea—more correctly the Bit
ter lakes—by the Israelities was
explained by the act ion of similar
persistent high winds. Sir Wil
liam when in Egypt in 1SS4 was
of opinion that the locality of the
crossing could be identified.
Another extremely valuable
mineral resource of southern Rus
i sia is tin* deposit of manganese
lore found immediately to the
south of the Caucasus mountains
—the richest in the world. The
| seam extends over So square miles
and is computed to hold some 240,
ooo.ooo tons of ore. ()f this amount
i about 2.000.000 tons have been ox
eavated—but not for Russia. The
empire is content with about £1
per cent., while Cireat Britain, the
largest buyer, takes over 30 pel
cent., Holland 29 and the T'nitod
States nearly 15 per cent. As of
their wheat, hemp, petroleum,
coal, so of their manganese, the
Russian motto is “Non nobis
solum.”
Suicide Wind.
In Brazil and other parts ol
South America the native's know
J and fear a certain condition oj
the air, which they call “suicide
i wind.” It is not a superstition
but an actual condition of the at
mosphere which seems to drive
people to madness, and during it*
continuance self-inflicted death*
are numerous. Criminologist*
and scientists all over the worh]
are interested in this peculiar
atmospheric influence, which i*
indicated by a soft, moist, warm
! air that settles heavilv on the
\ car t h.
No Domestic Animals in Japan.
< )im* of the things that sour
| strikes th<* attention of the frav
oler in Japan is that there an
no domestic animals—no cows
no sheep, no pigs, no goats, n<
| mules and no donkeys. There art
a few horses, which are imported
for the list* of foreigners, bin
! freight carts and tin* familial
| rickshaws art* drawn by coolies

This Is Miraculous.
Manhattan, Kans., March 14.—One of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Kiley Co. is that of the three
year-old daughter of Mr. Jonas Brubaker
i of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took whoop
ing cough, wmch was followed by pneu
monia. When the pneumonia left her. she
I was taken down with malaria fever with
at times symptoms of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the fever
! Bright’s Disease set in and the doctors
gave her up. Her father tells the test of
the story:
“We began to give her Dodd’s Kidney
Pills and after she had taken about three
and a half boxes, she was entirely cured.
Now she is well as any child, running and
! playing as if nothing had ever been the
i matter with her. ’The doctors said she
was beyond the reach of fhedicine. Dodd’s
Kidney Pills certainly saved our little
; girl’s life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright’s Disease that we
| thought nothing could save her.”

RESTORED TO HEALTH
Many weak, suf
fering women do nut
know that their kid
neys are sick. Back
ache tells of sick kid
neys and so do urin
ary disorders. Sick
kidneys make bad
blood, and bad blood
makes bad digestion,
heart palpitation, diz
zy headaches, nerv
ousness, sleepless
ness, sciatica, rheu
matic pains and con
stant depression.
Can’t be restored
to health until the kidneys are curen.
Read how one woman was restored by
using Doan's Kidney Pills:
Mrs. H. A. Van Sickle, 311 6th Ave.,
S. W., Roanoke, Va., says: “Kidney
trouble was hereditary in our family
and I had been so continually afflicted
with the disease that I began to de
spair of even temporary relief. Some
times I suffered so severely that I "as
confined to my bed. The aching in my
back was intense and the kidney dis
order caused an excess of uric acid in
my blood which impaired my digestion.
I was compelled to deny myself of many
of the little delicacies of diet. The
doctors diagnosed my’ case as conges
tion of the kidneys. I had about given
up hope when I began using Doan s
Kidney Pills, but I took only a few
doses when their curative powers were
proven to my satisfaction. 1 have
never been without them in the house
since.”
Doan’s Kidney Pills are sold by all
dealers; price, 50 cents; or mailed on
receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co.,
