also Injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
-my back to ache and when I worked
hard It became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping. I
procured Doan's Kianey Pills at a drug
store and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
representations made of them. I also

SHEFFiELDJ'tATE.
History of Thia Now V*ry Rare and
Valuable War*.
Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware In that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
article wus shaped. Before and since
then plating of various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece, as In
our electroplating process. Moreover,
the plating was done on copper, while
modern base metal is usually com
posed of an amalgimi of copper, nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, It Is possible for the
collector to secure examples of early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value of silver
ware of that period make Its acquisi
tion extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically Is as worthy
of n place beside old china and old
mahogany ns Is old silverware.
In 17-12 one Thomas P.olsover of
Sheffield, England, described in the
histories ns an "ingenious mechanic,"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
per while repairing a knife. He began
experimenting, seeking for u method of
plating copper with silver for the man
ufacture of small articles. In 1743, to
gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up a
factory for the manufacture of buc
kles, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold of the
secret and, perfecting it, demonstrated
that it was possible to imitate the
tinest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling In Sheffield, he started
the manufacture of all sorts of domes
tic pieces. Beginning modestly with
horsepower, he later added water pow
er for the rolling process. Other man
ufacturers followed his example, and
Sheffield plate soon begun to replace
pewter on the tables of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
of twenty-three Important manufactur
ers of this ware.
The Industry flourished until the
middle of the nineteenth century, and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or Invented by
a medical studeut o'.' Hotherham, near
Sheffield, and the new process was
patented on March 25. 1840. By 1830
the new ware was on the market ev
erywhere, and the industry had been
revolutionized.? Country Life In Amer

BISMARCK'S ANGER.
The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco-German War.
The Princess Bismarck, so the story
rocs, changed the political history of
France unwittingly, and but for her
the Frauco-Prusslan war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
her beauty to influence him so that the
little trouble with Franco and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore Invited the German prince
uud his wife to visit tlio court of
France, and the Frlnce and Princess
Bismarck arrived In great state at the
Tullcrles.
That eveulug there was a grand re
ception, and Eugenie received the
quests in a gown which made her so
ravlshlngly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and In love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugenie
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. Sho called him
to her side, and Bismarck came, with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener
ous. As she walked she showed a
great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugenie an nudlble titter was beard
along the line of ladles. Bismarck,
who was quick as u flash, followed
the glance of their eyes and saw them
rest upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
A year later, when Paris was be
sieged, Bismarck himself flred a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near hlin heard him shout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin
cess Bismarck!"
The slight was avenged.
The Mayflower.
Never did a ship sail with such mo
mentous results as the little west coun
try clipper schooner the Mayflower,
but few people have bothered to ask
what was her fate after she had land
ed the heroic band of Englishmen on
Plymouth rock. As a matter of fact,
she drifted into the cotton trado and
sank after many years of scrvlce for
the East India company at Masulipa
tam, on the coast of India.? London
Standard.
A Third Need.
"You need," said the expert to the
sufferer, "two pairs of glasses, one for
reading and one for long distance."
"Can't you make It three pairs?"
asked the man who had made a Btudy
of his own case. "I'd like some short
sighted ones to use on bill collectors."
