How a Chicago Judge Attends to the Dis.
 agreeable Duties of Life.
 'There are many disagreeable things which occur in the course of Q mans life" remarked an ex-iudge in my hearing the other day, and 1t was to the end that l might meet the unple asant duties which present themselves in the course of my dealings with men that 1 appointed a duty day, on which did nothing else.h Asked to explain the duties of such an odd day in the human calendar, the judge continued Well, had one near the middle of this month, and I will tell you about 8 few things which did that day. In the first place, I went to a man whose note I had held almost long enough after ma turity to have it outlawed, and whom I had avoided speaking to personally about it's payment and gently but firmly gave him the priv tlege of paying it-all or in part-or giving Q new note, or being sued In his case, he had been accommodated so long on friendly basis that he gently but firmly decided to let me sue and be dashed Then I went to settle with a lawyer who had done some work for me over a couple of years ago, and whose claims for services-whether little or great--were an unknown quantity to me. knew that, if should die, it was better to have this little thing adjusted got the bill-he had lost one ease for me and had won another, and, by deducting what he had collected from what it cost to do so, was enabled to get out with com paratively small loss Then I went to an agent to whom l owed past-due interest, and gave him a set day when positively would meet it, went from there to get cer- tain long-neglected papers from another agent and to see a party whom I did not want to see--about patent of his creation but on whom had promised to call some time before. All this consumed a day--a miserable, rainy day y-and, though there was probably not a cent of profit in 1t, felt much better when lay down to sleep, knowing that such things had much better be attended to by one's self than to be left to an exeoutor who could not possibly under stand the facts in the case" The old judges remarks made me resolve to adopt a duty dayn for myself, and to recommendit to every man - Chicago Journal

Women Increasing In Size.

With regard to the increased size of la- dies gloves the explanation of economy seems, on reflection, hardly a satisfactory one. Gloves will split occasionally, as we all know, to our misery, but loose ones are by no means durable, and the unsightly wrinkles and fiabby finger tips soiled and frayed, are terrible, so that after half dozen times wearing they look only fit for an area sneak It seems more likely that ladies' hands may h we kept in proportion with their general stature, which is certain ly on the increase. One cln scarcely mix fin any crowd especially of the well-to do class, without remarking glantesses in the andhne, well gown vigorous creatures, who, iudging by comparison seem to have developed all ths height and strength which ought to have been their brothers The happy change in public opinion, too. which enablcs women of all ranks to work with their hands and tak2 pride in doing SO. may al 0 not b. without affect in enlIg- isg those members Ladies Journal

A QUERY.

 What ss Subscriber" Would Like to Know
 We have recently received letter from one of our well-known subscribers upon a subj ject which we prefer to publish for the perusal of our readers, anticipating that Tn so doing some one will relieve us or the re sponsibility of answering Subscribers questions Here is the letter;
 C Ny Degr Edtor.---For several years past have been the recipient Of several pam phlets issued from time to time by Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co, of Rochester, N. f., which, in addition to containing an exten- siye treatise upon kidney disease, it's ori- gin, usual symptoms and growth also iu- cludes numerous testimonials from parties whose fac-simile signatures are attached thereto, attesting the statement that they have been individually relieved by the use of Warner's Safe Cure, which is prepared by the above hrm, for the use of persons so afflicted. Now, Mir Editor, would like to know if the statements made by those parties who testify to the great good which Warmers Safe Cure has done them, can be relied upon. They seem honest enough from the way they read. Warmers Safe Cure saved my life after the doctors had given me up," says John Doherty, 133 N. Main street, Concord, N. H. :" l was given up to die with Bright's Disease e the kid neys The doctnrs =&:,s they could do nothing tcs s..S. A friend advised me to take Y arner's Safe Cure, and my family consider me as given back from the gravel says Mrs. Carrie A. Frye, of Wath- ena, Kas. Dr. l.. B. Rice, of Hanover C.. H., Va., says that Warner's Safe Cure cured him of Bright's Dsease.i
 Each pamphlet whiSss 1 have received contains hundred or more testimonials, and the same one does not appear in more than one pamphlet, so it seems that there are good many who are being helped by that remedy.
 It strikes mo that there IS a good deal of sense in tho claim which those parties make that the doctors are treating too many persons for wrong causes, and that oftentimes, people are treated for consump- tion, brain, heart and nervous diseases, when they are suffering from kidney dis. case which should be treated, as they say, by the use of Warmers Safe Cure, and as a result, when disease is first removed there from, that which is supposed to be disease in the lungs or other organs, will disappear. Many of my neighbors tell me that this remedy has done much good for them more good than their doctors. If kidney disease is the real cause of so many other diseases why, Mir Editor, don't tho people who are afflicted with sickness, insist upon 9 moro careful inquiry being made, in order that the true cause may be ascertained, and the proper treatment givcnm

Impurities in air and water are neutralized by it, and it is a matchless tranquilizer and regulator of the stomach, liver and bowels. It counteracts malaria, rheumatism, and tendency to kid ney and bladder ailments.

struction recorded in any one year
since 1885, When the total increase was
3,5Ss miles. The construction in the
Intervening years has been: In 1856,
SAL miles; In 1857, l2,66S; in 1855,
1884 miles. The bulk of this years
construction his been done in the
