A Woman Finds All Her Energy And
Ambition Slipping Away.
Alaskan women know how the
aches and pains that come when the ;
kidneys fail make life a burden. Back
uche, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles, all
tell of sick kidneys and warn you of
the stealthy approach of dropsy or
Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills j
are for the kidneys only. They at- '?
tack kidney diseases by striking at'
the cause.
Can Alaskan sufferers desir? stron
er proof than this woman's word?
Mrs. Henry Rankos, 502 Vancouver
Ave., Portland, Ore., says: "It gives
me pleasure to confirm my former
public endorsement of Doan's Kidney
Pills given in October, 1907. At that
time I said that a member of my farn
ily was troubled by attacks of back
ache which prevented stooping or
lifting. Doan's Kidney Pills disposed
of the trouble in a short time. Since
then I have taken this remedy for
weakness and pain across my kidneys
and it has greatly benefitted me."

OBLIGING CRABS.
Pre?*nt Their Claws to Fishery Wh?
Shake Hands With Them.
Visitors Id Seville see women carry
ing baskets full of crabs' claws. The
claws are cooked, and people nibble
at them more for fun thaD sustenance,
just as Russians nibble sunflower
seeds. What becomes of the rest of
this crustacean, especially If he Is a
crawfish, of his tail?
As a matter of fact the crawfish ba9
no part In tbe business. The claws
are taken from a salt water crab
which lives along the shores of Mo
rocco. Spain and Portugal. Each little
crab, with its one little mate, has a
cave for a home, and, adopting tbe
eastern estimate of the other sex. he
usually keeps his wife shut Inside the
cave, meanwhile staying about the
threshold himself and making a brave
show with bis big claws.
When the tide runs out the crab
fishers prowl along the beach looking '
for crab holes. Either the crab is J
stalking up and down seeking what
he may devour and thus showing
whether he has fine claws or lie is
still at home, and the size of his door
way indicates the size of the house
holder. In one case the fisherman cuts
off his retreat by blocking his front
door with mud; in the other ease he
digs him out Anyway, be deprives
him of his pincers and sets him at
liberty to grow some more.
Right here appears the quaintest fea
ture of the whole affair, for the pin
cers are not torn away from the crab
at all. Instead he presents them to
tbe fisherman, perhaps even with his
compliments. It is a fact easily de
monstrable that the crab can detach
his claw by muscular effort, thus mak
ing no hemorrhage, but leaving the
stump in such condition that a new
claw is soon grown. The fishermen
simply take the crab by the band,
whereupon It lets go. leaves the claw
with them and romps off home with
out It? Chicago Record-Herald.
PRESSURE OF WATER.
Its Effect Upon ^ Corked Bcttle Low
ered Into Ocean Depths.
A bottle partly filled with fresh water
and tightly corked can be lowered Inio
ocean depths, and on being raised to
the surface It will be discovered on
opening it that the fresh water has
been replaced by salt.
This really extraordinary phenome
non is explained In the following way:
The pressure of water Increases as
the distance from the surface in
creases. Thus at the distance of a foot
beneath the surface the pressure of the
water a square inch will be about half
n pound; at a distance of, say, 200
feet It will be 125 pounds to the
square Inch. At ocean level the pres
sure of the atmosphere Is a little over I
fourteen pounds. Thus if a bottle con
taining air were lowered thirty feel be
neath the surface the pressure of wa
ter would more than counterbalance
the pressure of (he air. Ordinarily at
this depth, therefore, the pressure of
water should be sufficient to drive the
cork within the bottle, but the cork
Is tightly wedged In position. To
squeeze it within the bottle It, too.
must first be compressed, and also
there is friction to be overcome.
The distance varying, then, accord
ing to these conditions, at some point
beneath the surface the weight of wa
ter will force the cork Into the bottle,
compressing the air before It. The
salt water of the ocean mingles with
the fresh water within the bottle. As
the bottle again approaches he surface
the air that remains within Is sub- (
Jected to less and less pressure till
Anally, now having Itself a pressure
From out Alaska a call for aid has
come to the Mining Congress. A mem
ber of the mrw chapter recently or
ganized in the -northern territory
makes a plea that should stir the
blood of every righting man in the
organization.
The cry for succor comes in, the
form of a letter from Harry Thisted,
proprietor of the Cordova, House in
Cordova^ in which he acknowledges
the receipt of his membreship cer
tificate. He says:
"Certificate received. Thanks!
"It will be framed and hung on the
wall providing I ha,ve a wall to hang
it on. Business and mining are in
such shape that God will have tQ
help the Alaskans, for we can't help
ourselves and 'Congress won't.' Can
you?
"Hope you can and will."

Counterfeit Detectors.
"Few men carry a bigger roll than
the professional detector of counter
felts," said a receiving teller of one
of the big banks recently. Each of
these counterfeit detectors has a spe
cial license from the treasury depart
ment at Washington which permits
him to carry about 150 samples of
counterfeit money. It is a felony to
have counterfeit money in your pos
session without proper authority. For
each bogus bill the counterfeit de
tector carries a genuine note of the
same kind and denomination for the
purposes of comparison. The total
value of this good money that Is car
ried side by side with the bad is be
tween $40,000 and $50,000. The bills
run from a dollar up to $1,000 In de
denomination."? New York Sun.
The Solar Plexus.
The Scriptural expression "bowels of
compassion" Is Justified by the discov
eries of modern science. Whenever
anything affects our nerves we feel It
more or less In our "innards." It is
the solar plexus which is concerned
In such emotionalism. Of course in
Itself it cannot feel, but it sends
messages to the brain, which inter
prets them as coming from there. The
solar plexus is a mass of nerves and
nerve structures In the abdomen at the
back of the stomach. ? New York Trib

"Could you love me, darling?" he

I knew you had sacrificed the others
to buy me a new dress."? London Mall.

ance In relieving conditions which
have become unbearable.
The situation In the territory will
be one of the vital Issues of the com
ing conventions. Partly to enable
the presence of a strong Alaskan
delegation the session was postponed
The men comprising It will travel
thousands of miles that through the
Congress they may obtain a hearing
before the people of the United State?
We quote from a letter received
from Charles Estmere, Iditarod, Alas
ka, under date of July 15:
"I am thoroughly in accord with
the views of the Alaskan committee
as expressed in the February Bulletin
aind appreciate fully the amount of
work they have accomplished. No- one
on the outside can appreciate the dif
ficulties such a committee must labor
wider in this territory owing to the
vastness of the country, the abnormal
ly poor, I will say inexcusably poor
mail service, and last but not least,
the diversity of views of the individ
uals interested.
"Now with reference to the revision
of the nii'.eral land laws. We are all
Interested In that. You will perhaps
remember that tw<. ov t!n?,e years
ago I advocated a territorial commit
tee, composed of one practicing en
gineer, one operator who must have
been a prospector, from each record
ing precinct, and one lawyer from
each judicial district; all to have been
not less than five years in Alaska
and be elected by the people. The
purpose of such a committee would
be to meet at some; point in the ter
ritory and recommend a mining law
for Alaska.
"I am heartily In favor of a uniform
mining law for all the United States,
but I am afraid that an exception
should have to be made for Alaska,
because of climatic conditions, the in
accessibility ? to the mining sections
at certain seasons of the year and
many other existing conditions which
it Is practically impossble to make
even to a miner in the United States,
to say nothing of our legislators.
"Success to the work. Keep at it.
I promise to take my turn shortly."
NOTE ? The above was taken from
the Monthly Bulletin of the American
Mining Congress.
