Tho Grain Of Salt.

4 lady finding beggar- boy at her door
gave him meal OF coffee, meat, and bread
and butter, which he sat down In the area 10
eat A moment afterward, however, he
raped beseechingly at the door again, and
on fts being opened remarked with bis hand
upon his heart III had but little salt

OF course he got the salt
Human nature Is always lacking some,
thing, Oftentimes 1t were better of with
out its wishes, yet 1t is universally conceded
that no permanent enjoyment can be had
without tho SAVIOR OF health, which keeps
good cheer fresh and preserves and sweetens
life for the future
The great, rudy farmer pines because he
has not won fame or position. The famous
man longs for the lu'ty health OF the sturdy
farmer.
The grain Of salt is wanting.
How TO secure and retain the SAVIOR OF
health In the midst OF this rushing, nervous,
over-worked generation is problem worthy
Of our closes attention, 1t cannot be done
with stimulants, which but spur on the over
worked nerves to fresh efforts, only to leave
them more jaded and shattered. Nor with
narcotics, which temperate lily soothe, but to
create an unnatural appetite, the terrors Of
which De Quincy has so graphically por-
trayed.
1t may be asked, what Is the cause Of this
extreme nervousness, lack of appetite, lung
trouble, deficient heart action, failing eye
sight, aPoplectical tendency, etc. We reply,
poisoned blood, caused by diseased kidneys,
ard the troubles indicated are, after all, but
symptoms of advanced Kidney Disease,
which is but another name for Brights Dis
ease Unless remedied there will be CON-
plete breaking down of the great blood
purifying organs, the kidneys, and they will

Now, In the spring Of the year, owing to
the extra work which has been put upon the
Kidneys and Liver, through meat diet dur
ing the winter months, these symptoms are
more pronounced, and the danger to the
patient correspondingly increased. 1t is
therefore imperative that the poisoned blood
be eradicated. and that the Kidneys be put

Value of n Nickel.

Somebody of an ingcnius turn of
mind gives us the metric system, mot
in nutshell" but in a nickel. 1t is
claimed that our nickel five-cent piece
holds the key to the linear measures and
weights. The diameter of this coin is
two centimetres and its weight is five
grammes. Five of them placed in a row
will, of course, give the length of the
decimetre, and two of them will Ugh
decagramme. As the kioliter is a
cubic metre, the key to the measures of
length, it is also the key to the meas
ures of capacity. Any person, there
fore, who is fortunate enough to own
a five cent nickel may carry in his
pocket the entire metric system of
weights and measures.
