The largest newspaper ever publish

the Illuuiiuatwl Quadruple Constella
tion. which was issued in New York
city "? July -I. 18.VJ. it was a 28.00C
edition aud was sold at SO cents pel
copy. The size of the page of this
sheet was 70 by 100 inches, or almost
forty-nine square feet. It was an eight
page paper, thirteen columns to tilt
page, or a total of 104 columns, each
forty-eight inches in length. It was
illustrated with good portraits of Pres
ident Buchanan. Edward Everett. Hen
ry Ward Beechcr, X. P. Hanks, E. H.
Chapia Horace Greeley, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning. Alexander von

eral others. The paper contained th!r
ty-sis different poems entire. o:ie of
them having as many as slxty-foui
eight line verses. Among other article!
of special note was the celebrated
"Moon Hoax." published in 1S35. It
required the work of forty persons ten
hours per day for eight weeks to "gel
out" this mammoth paper.
Origin of "Stationer."
According to Pierre de Blois, the ti
tle "stationer" was applied to oue clasi
of bookseller long l>efore the seven
teenth century, though that may have
been the period when it came to refei
to an.v seller of books. He distln
guishes between the librarii and the
Btationarii. who had both become sc
numerous in Paris In 1259 that cer
tain regulations had to be made foi
their control. The former were agents
for the sale and loan of manuscripts, a
large sum of money being deposited
when a manuscript was lent, while the
latter, allowed to have stations or stalli
in the markets, were sellers and cop
iers of manuscripts. At the time h?
wrote there were twenty-nine broken
and stationers in Paris, not a very dan
gerous number, one would think, con
sidering that Paris from the twelfth to
the fifteenth century was considered
the chief seat of learning.? Londol

DANGfR IN DEI AY
Kidney Di oaie* Are Too Dangeroui
?for Alaikit People to Neglect
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Bachache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, dropsy,
soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cuie the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxweli, of 415 w.
Fourth St., Olvmpia, Wash., says: "I
have no idea how much suffering I
would have avoided had I known the
value of Doan's Kidnev Pills sooner.
For three years I have suffered, doc
tored and treated for a dropsical con
dition of the body without ever know
ing the true source of the trouble to be
in the kidneys, uitil, absut two months
ago, when I was induced to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. I had swelling of the
feet aud limbs; my hands would puff up,
get tense and I could hardly close them.
The other symptoms were" lost sight of i
in the more noticeable ones. After
procuring Doan's Kidney Pills. I found
prompt relief from the start. The swell
ing and bloating were reduced until
they entirely disappeared and a toning
up and strengthening of my whole
system was felt. The oth(r day I
climbed up a steep hill without a pause
or a flutter |of the heart. It was not 6
weeks ago that 1 tried the same feat
and nearly broke down in Ihe attempt."
