Now. here Is DIR. -, who was attending

he treated him for one thing he treated him
Tor dozen different disorders. First the
doctor said pneumonia was the trouble;
then II was consumption. Then the patient
was dosed for heart trouble. and so on. until
Just before he died it was ascertained that
disease OF the kidneys was the real trouble.
and that which had been at first treated as
pneumonia, consumption. heart disease.
etc.. were but the symptoms OF kidney dis
ease.
But then it was too late.
This Is only one case IN hundred. and

confident that the source OF all disease is In
the kidneys, which L know Warmers Safe
Cure will keep in good order. and will
eradicate any disease that may be lurking
there. Had Mr.. - followed a similar
course. have no doubt he would be alive
to-day; but. OF course. all people don't
think alike
-One thing is certain. however. and that
Is the doctors are allowed a little too much
freedom in the way they have OF pretending
TO know that which they really know moth
ing about. IL they don't know what is tho
real trouble with the patient, they should
admit ii and not go on and experiment at

vei,s Injurious to the Eyes.

well, one woman has come out, /

one of "A trio of shoppers.
"Who is she?" queried one.
"She is Di Grace Peckham, and is

lieve."

it well arranged" chimed in the third,
and it protects my forehead and wards
off neuralgia, and it never did my eyes
any harm. Everybody wears Hading
wells nowadays, and l shall wear veil
for one"
"Yes, of course, as long as it's fash
ionable we will wear them; but do you
know the Hading is worse than any
other. It's heavier, and it's seldom
raised from the time it's put on till it's
removed, because it's fastened about
the neck. My doctor was speaking to
me about it the last time / saw him.
He said it was injurious to the mechan-
ical seeing apparatus, since a constant
adjusting of muscles and lenses is re-
quired, and a striving TO obtain clear
image of the retina. 1t is extremely
wearing to the brain, which has n
great deal to do with touching UP and
finishing off the picture which falls
upon the vision, and in making the
mental image perfect one, no matter
what the external one may be. Wells
of dotted lace and dazzling white illu-
sion may give rise in n few weeks to an
irritable condition of the eyes that
years will not remove. "-NelC York

Extraordinary Hair.

In Brazil there is tribe called the
Cafusos, which has sprung into exist
ence by marriage between the long
stiff-haired natives and the imported
negro slaves. AS might naturally be
expected from the admixture of these
extremes, this people possess hair of a
very extraordinary kind. 1t rises per
pendicularly from the head in thick,
curly masses, and forms wig of such
enormous dimensions that the posses
sors must stoop low when entering
their huts.

"Yes, Tn in mourning" said the man,
as he carefully removed his hat and
gazed at the piece of Grape which hid
the band. "It's for my brother jim,
who was planted about five months
ago."
"Sick long?"
Not minnit."
Accidentally killed, then ~
"You might call it an accident, but il
wasn't. 1t was case of misreading
human nature"
The man tenderly brushed some dust
off the Grape, put on his hat, and after
getting good and ready started out
with:
"Me and Jim had ranch on the Re-
publican River out in Kansas. didn't
amount to much, but Jim was dandy.
He could size upa man as quick as you
could halve an apple. Didn't know
what fear was, and the Injuns was as
afraid of him as death. I've put $500
monument at his grave, and you can
Judge by that he must have been a
pretty good man."
"Well? ?"
"Well, late last fall when we had n
stock sale at the ranch sort of tramp
came along and got in Jim's way. jim
run over him and they had some words.
The tramp wanted TO fight and the boys
put Jim up to skeer the liver out of
him. I'm free to say / didn't like the
feller's looks. There was sumthin'
back of his everyday look which had a
CLEAN of danger in it. Jim sized him
up for a runner, and when l said the
chap would fight jim whispered:
Pete, We never knew me TO be
wrong. I'll skeer him till all his ha'r
loosens at the roots
"To make great spread of it the
boys fastened the two together by the
arms and gave each bowie-knife.
They thought the tramp would back
water when it came TO the tying, but
he didn't. He was right thar, and
didn't even turn pale. 1t was agreed
that they should fight at the word, and
the word was held five minutes to let
the tramp wilt He stood like rock,
and jim couldn't back, you see, with
out losing character.
And they fought?"

as handy with the knife as any man
within hundred miles, but he stood
no show in that rumpus. The word
was given, the tramp made lightning
motion, and the next thing L see was
jim dead on the grass, his head cut
almost off. Thar wasn't but one lick
struck.
"And-and what ?"'
Nothing much. The tramp ontied
hisself and walked off as cool as bar1
of ice, and we planted Jim on knoll
back of the mule pen"
What did the crowd say?"
"Said that my brother jim had bet

alone, and l agreed. I'm in mourning
for jim, but L allow he bit off moren

Besides the heavy ships in the above
list Germany has the Arminius, an
iron turret ship of 1,560 tons and u
inches of armor, carrying four 9-ton
guns and steaming ten to eleven knots; ;
also eleven other iron vessels of 1,090
tons displacement, nine knots speed,
and S-inch armor, each carrying one
Pinch gun of thirty-seven tons
weight. These are probably incapable
of crossing the Atlantic, but are in
