Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those eifete matters which, if
permitted to remain. would speedily destroy
life. A total suspension Of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti-
ties at the time. or when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness in the small Of the back, it
should not be trifed with or delayed. but Kos
koo should be taken at once TO remedy the
difficulty, before leison Of the organs takes
place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation of the Blood. we see how
necessary is to keep the Fountain of Life
Pure.

Though possessed of many virtues Muliin
was chiefly dear to fame as the man whom
Barnum paid Tor his turn" at Tom Hig-
gineon's barber shop under the Park
Hotel. The story is well known, but it
should be repeated once more in honor of
the dead and in justice to the living One
day, a few years ago, Barnum rushed into
Higginson's shop for shave and found
Pat Mullin, the deceased, just taking his
scat for the same operation. Barnum at
once proposed to- Pat to exchange turns,
offering to pay Pats Bill. Pat, with the
quick wit of an Irishman, assented. Bar
mum got his shave, told Iligginson to
charge Pats bill to him, and went on his
way rejoicing. When Pats turn came lac
deliberately proceeded to take bath, a
shave and shampoo" and wound up
by having bis hair curled and his whiskers
dyed. When all was done he politely told
IIigginson to "Charge it to the boss, u
and departed. Barnum afterward paid
the bill, and thought the joke was worth
