Physician.s Commence to Realize
the Value of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Oaneesva, August 10th. -The inveterate
reluctance to admit the success of patent
• -medicine, usually evinced by'physicians is
rapidly giving way so far as Dodd's Kidney
Pills are concerned. = The cases of Drs.Rose
.and McCormick, who pubdished details of
their recovery- from diabetes and Bright's
disease, through the agency of this remedy,
were the first attacks on the citadel of their
skeptimsrn aud now it appears as if the re-
markable recovery of Mr. G. H. Kent; of
this city, the details of whiel ha.ve been
transmitted to the press, would complete
what has been so auspicidusly begun. The
published interviews with Mr. and Mrs.
Kent and the sworn statement of the
:former leavet no foothold for disbelief.

• DELHI MAN:
ortu d with Rheumatism for
NeSti•ly Twenty Years—Spent
Large Sums in a Vain Search
for Renewedlitealth—How- he
at last Found it. -
I' oin the Delhi Reporter.
There are very few: troubles more wide -
s read and none more difficult to eradicate
from the system than rheumatism. The
sufferer is racked wieh pains that seem un -
b arable, and.. frequently feele that even
d ath itself „would be, a relief. Among those
w o have found much of their lives made
m seeable by thisdread trouble is Mr.
wheel Schott, of Delhi, and having found
.O. neana of release from its agonies he is
anxious that oth,er sufferers should profit by
hip experience, Mr. Schott is in the 'em -
play of Messrs. Quance. Brothers, millers,
auld has a reputation for sterling integrity
among all who know him. When one of
thestaff of the Reporter interviewed- him,
Mr. &hat gavethefacts of his illness and
reCovery as follows: He had been a sufferer
from rheumatism since about eighteen years
of age. At times he was confined to bed,
bet obtained no rest day nor night from the
• excruciating pains he was undergoing.
Again he was able to go about and follow
hi employment, but .even then frequently
w Ikedahout in an almost doubled up con -
di ion. Then again he would have another
re apse,and would be forced to. take to his
b d. During all these years he was almost
co tinually . doctoring, but never obtained
anything more than temporary relief for
thp large sums. he . expendedin this way.
ving failerl to obtain relief .a.t home he
w et be Simeoe fortreatment, but received
no permanent benefit and soon after coining
hone was as bad as ever: It will be readily
un leretood that he was seriouely discour-
aged, and had come to look Upon his case as
hopeless. .Finally he was urged to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and after hesitating at
spending anymore money, in what he now
considered a vain pursuit �f health, he at
last consented to give them a trial. • By the
time he had used a half dozen boxes there
wiet no longer any doubt in his mind -that he
wat steadily improving, and the treatment
wa then gladly continued. When he . had
tak n a dozen boxes he found himself en-
tir ly recovered, entirely free from pain and
froi 1 all stiffness of joints, and he is now
abl4 to do as hard a day's work as any man
in the village. Ile. has now been free from
his Id enemy for so long a -period that he
feel his cure is- permanent, and is cense-
queetly an enthusiastic admirer of Dr.
Williams' wonderful Pink .Pills, and urges
all:who are similarly sufteriug to give them
a trial,feeling confident that they will peeve
quite as efficacious as they did in -his case.

SIASCONSETT.
Effect of the Sad Sea Waves on Humorist
lifunkittrick.
[Speclhl Correspondence.]
SIASCONSETT-IN-THE-SEA, Aug. 4. -The
suextmer wave is again booming sonorously
upon the boundless shore of time, and the
summer girl decorates and einbroiders it
with her lithe and willowy beauty as she
does at no other place here in dear old
Siasconsett-in-the-Sea, the realm of 11111r-
marous breezes, whose crisp whiskers, so
to speak, put a crown of Ice cream. Upon
the fevered brow of care and capse the
toiler in search of rest and happiness to lie
upon the great patches of sweet uucanned
belc.b plum and to kick his heels in the
aia in an ecstasy of gilt edged forgetful-
nMr. Underhill's French poodle is tha,nk-
Ail that the wind is tempered to his -bow
or unshorn end, for he is all wool at the
bowsprit, while aft his hair is se short
that he cannot navigate himself properly
while capering along, and therefore shows
the great long headedness of his breed by.
carrying a walking stick in his 1 mouth
like a balancing pole. His temperature is
naturally higher at the woolly than at the
shaven end, and the dog is probablyha,ppy
,in the knowledge of the fact that ,he ends
better than he begins. It is the opinion of
a noted specialist here that, the do's tem-
perature being 2 degrees above normal
at the woolly end and 2 below at the shaven
terminus, a natural -.average 1131 struck
and maintained throughout the entire dog.
' Simeonsett is pretty well dogged for a
place of its size,. but the dogs are mostly
from other parts. and belong to the eummer
visitors. 1 know one dog down here that
weighabut a _pound, inoludina his collar,
yethe eats two pounds of food a day with-
out gaining. His pedigree is so long that
if it were stood on end it word& be higher
than the Saneetty lighthouse, and, in fact,
higher than anything else on the island of
Nantucket except the price of beef.
I cannot see that there is any great
change in 'Sconsett since last year. The
skies are the same old twinkling blue, the
clouds are as white and the billows as mu-
sical as of yore. The girls who go -there
every year look younger. than they did last
year, and last year they looked younger
thanthey did the year before. That is all
because Siasconsett-in-the-Sea enables one
to renew one's youth. Perhaps the Old
town pump, in whose trough the grocer
gives his salt mackerel a swhn ' before re-
tiring for the night, is the forintain per-
petual of youth for which Ponce -de Leon
searched in'vain. The whale stories which
are told every year by the romancer who
sits on the barrel at Wally Brown's are
still fresh, although they have been told
for 20 ' years. I heard sonae of them the
other day for, perhaps, tho fiftieth time,
and they are still full -of the spray of the
ocean, while the pristine freshness of thefr
- spirit is felt, by the hearer when the nar-
rator, with a keen appreciation of romantic
realism, swings his arms as if throwing
harpoons. •
Siasconsett-in-theSea is becoming an
. ideal place for bicycling, and there is
scarcely a moment of the day that the

BAKU) BLUEFISH.
Directions For Preparing a llish Which le
Often Spoiled In the tooking.
A fish is 1110r0 often ruined in baking
lhan in almost any other way, yet if a,
bluefish is properly baked it is a most de-
licious dish
Thoroughly clean and, wash a fish weigh-
ing not less than 23-4 pounds for baking.
Make a eta:flag by putting a large spoon-
ful of butter into a saucepan, and when it
Is melted add one cupful of bread czumbs
which have beeri soaking in a scant half
cup of milk or water, a quarter 'of a tea-
spoonful of salt and -to same qnantity of
aepper, one teaspoonful each of chopped
Mama and, Daniels and pion juke or net
as preferred. Put the stuffing into the nen
and close the openbag 'with small wooden
skewers. Cut three gashes in each side of
the fish about half an inch deep and two
Inches long and lay a strip of larding pork
1111 each cut.
Now draw the fish into the form of a
letter S by putting a long needle, holding
a Strong white thread, first through the
head, then through the middle of the body
and the tail and fastening with a knot

Ls aked. Put a tin sheet, on which have
b n
laid some slices of fat salt *pork, in
• the bottom of a baking pan and place the
lish on,it back upward. Rub the Ash with
sat and pepper and dredge with flour.
P over it half a cup of wine. Put it
into a moderately hot oven and bake, al-
lowing 16 minutes to each pound. Con-
stant basting is necessary for the success
of the dish. When the -fish is cooked, lift
the tin sheet from the pan and slide the
fish carefelly into the center of a heated
platter, remove the thread and garnish the
fish with sliced lemon and parsley. Serve
with either of the following sauces:
Put one tablespoonful of butter and one
of our in a saucepan over the fire, stir
tog: her and add a cupful_ of stock, two
ta,b1 poonfuls of stewed tomatoes, a bay
leaf, half a dozen peppercorns and a tea-
spo enful of sugar. Bring to the boiling
poi t, add a little sherry and more season-
ing necessary and strain. a
F4r sauce hollandaise, rub half a cup of
butl-r to a cream. Add. the yolks of three
egg,-, stirring in one at a time. Add the
ink: from half a lemon, one-fourth of a
teas •oonful of salt and a dash of cayenne
pep er. Place the bowl containing the
mix tire in a pan of boiling water. Add
one up of hot water to the sauce, beating
ail he tine, and stir constantly until the
Mix re becomes like a soft _custard. , Do
not let it boil, but remove from the fire
and continue to stir a few moments before

was expected in Athens that swarms
oreign visitors would grace the =ganies
vi1lh their presence. The committee ap-
poi ted Messrs. Cook their agents for for -
Mg parts and apparently thought that
111.:.1 alone was sufficient to insure an enor-
ous concourse of foreigners. This turned
Out to be a very anfortimate mode of pro-
Cedure. The price at which the agents ad-
vertised rooms in Athens was so preposter-
Ous that manytpersons who intended to
yisit.A theirs at the season oi the games ab.:
litairaed from going. We can vouch to hay-
ing found several parties in Italy who
were intentionally delaying their visit to
Athens till after the termination of the
'games. The crowd then in the stadium
was almost exclusively composed of Greeks.
The newspapers, both in Greece and Eng-
land, continued, even after the end of the
ikteeting, to estimate the number of for-
eigners present at 20,000. As a matter -of
fact, there can be no doubt that 1,000
- would be a large estimate. Foreigners
may have won the greater part of the
events, the sports may have been Veritably
international, but the body of spectators
was not international at all.
If "olympic,''' in the modern sense,
meani "international," these spectators
were not an olympic assemblage. The
fact cannot be denied, the reason is not far
to seek. The organization which failed to
attract foreign competitors also failed to
attract foreign spectator& • The so called
agents of the committee only provided in-
formation if applied to, and even then the
intelligence given was very meager. If one
wrote to the central camunittee, .one was
liable to be told that all information could
be obtained by subscribing a considerable
sum to the journal of the committee. Ap-
parently the committee did not think it
its duty or its advantage to supply infor-
mation without immediate reward. The
lack of _foreign att,endance at these games
was peculiarly. unfortunate, because it
may prevent their success from becoming
duly spread abroad, and so may stand in
the way of a favorable issue on the next
occasion. -Fortnightly Review.

Jews iteturning to Palestine. •

,A lady who has laved in Jerusalem for
the past 40 years and who has only recent-
ly returned tO England gives the follewing
curious information concerning the in-
crease of the Jewish pdpulation of the Holy
Clt7:
" Twenty-tivo years ago there whisa-only
between 15,000 and 20,000 Jews in Jerusa-
lem. In th4e days no houses were to be
found outside the magnificent walla the
gates of which were closed at night. S1T1CO
then many changes have taken place, and
the Hebrew population-nutinly on ac-
count of the increase of the Jewish bumf-
gwation from Russia -now stands at be-
tween 60,000 and 70,000. 'Miele strode of
houses have been built outside thewalls on
the site of the ancient suburban districts,
which for hundreda'of years haveremained
deserted. It is not however, only. in Jeru-
salem itself that the Jews abound, but
throughout Palestine they are Jellying
farms and establishiagthemselves in a erre-
prisingly rapid meaner. In Jerusalem they
form at present a larger community than
either the Christian or the Mohaaumedan."
