Rev. E. F. L. Gauss, Galena, Ills. writes:
"For over ten years had been great suffer-
er from pains in the small of the back and re-
gion of the Kidneys, which was most excru-
ciating and at times almost insufferable. Doc
toring brought no relief, except perhaps mo-
mentarily, and was finally advised being un-
able to fulfill the duties of my calling, to go
abroad and seek the climate of my youth. In
Germany and Switzerland, eminent physicians,
after close examination, declared my suffer
ings to arise from disease of the kidneys, of
long standing, and could do me no good. 1
was, however, benefited by the climate and
consequently returned. No sooner had been
back and resumed my pastoral work, when
the trouble grew again so intense as to make
life burden. A few months ago, I came in
the possession of one of DAY's KIDNEY PADS,
put it on, and the effects are truly wonderful.
The pains at once grew less and are now, after
wearing the second PAD, entirely gone, and
there can be no doubt that am entirely cured

WIT AND HUMOR.

THE TERRIBLE Guild. OF the late
Bishop Wilberforce this story Is told I:
On one occasion, while staying IN a
country house not many miles from
Windsor, the daughter of his host, a
little girl Of seven, suddenly broke out
before all the assembled company: Il
want to ask you Il question. my lord /;
will you answer me very, very truly?"
The bishop smiled, took the child on
his knee and said: or course | will,
my little dear, what is t?' The child
looked graYely up ut him, and let fall
the following terrible question: why
does every one call you sSoap-Sam ?"
You can easily imagine the feelings of
the company but the bishop was quite
equal TO the occasion, and after having
cast a half-mocking and cynical glance
round the room, replied simply: Il
will tell you, my darling. People call
me 'Soapy Sam because whenever
get into hot water, always come out
with my hands Clean

Law for tho People

A parole gift of personal property
must be accompanied by possession.
The attempt to commit felony or
1t Is larceny to appropriate goods
mislaid, or left by mistake.
A verbal release Of debt, not fOun-
ded on valuable consideration, will
not bar an action.
Guardians, If practicable, must lend
out the money of their wards, on
good security, and must collect the
interest annually.
Any one who takes possession of a
minors estate without authority oflaw
may be held liable as guardian.
The voluntary concurrence Of COM
petsnt minds is required to make a val
Id contract. If deception be practiced,
by either Of the parties, in asmatcrial
matter, or either be so Intoxicated as to
be unable to comprehend the nature
and effect Of the transaction, this
invalidates the contract.
The father is the natural guardian
and custodian of his children; but, in
case OF separation, their custody may
be given to the mother, if the father Is,
from any cause, unfit for their control,
or unable to support them.,
An action for the recovery Of specific
property may be brought without Civ
ing the bond specified in the Code,
when the simple question of title is
tried, and tho possession Of the proper
ty left undisturbcd.
Ignorance Of the law is 10 excuse for
the commission Of crime, but ignorance
of facts may render civil contract
voidable.
Thore Is no war; anty Of title at an
administrators sale, but Il personal
representative Is bound to make to the
purchaser valid conveyance of such
title as his decedent had. lie is liable,
personally, for all damages arising
from his failure to follow the law.
1t Is a violation Of the law for the
occupyers of lands, under common
fence, to turn their stock within the
general enclosure, during the cropping
season. The party so offending COM
,nlts an indictable otlense, and is civilly
liable TO-. all damages that ensue.
Ifnn administrator or executor give
note, or make any other contract in
his representative capacity, which the
law does not authorize, he fails to bind
the estate, but Is individually liable
upon the same.
The law presumcs that every person
Intends to do that which he does.
Drunkenness is no excuse for crime.
A person may have his domicil in
one County or State, and his citizenship
In another. Citizenship is not lost or
changed, by residence abroad, so long
