Restored to his family.
Who say the clouds Of life have not a
silver lining? Look at little year old
Grover Reynolds, Watson, Ill. His
father, Daniel W. Reynolds, after
describing the little sufferers long
illness, continues: "Finally a gravel
was forced into the urethra and re-
manned there, producing blood poison
ing and dropsical illusions. He was
treated by q council of eminent ply
sicians. They made missions to let the
water out and finally properly advised
an operation, but confessed the little
sufferer was so weak death would likely
result. l refused and began giving him
DR.. Fenner's Kidney and Backache
Cure. Before one bottle had been en-
tirely taken the stone had become so far
dissolved by the remedy that it passed
out OF itself and the child is well and
sound to-day" This shows it's power
in dissolving stone. It is equally pow
erful for good in all kidney diseases
Money returned if satisfaction not
given. Take a bottle home to-day.

~Astonished S~ayages.

desolate inland home in the Himalayon

sayages, they looked with stupid IN.
dlfrefence ut h maryels about them.
and once only were they excited bv
an incident which opened their eyes
10 what they considered an cXtraordi-
nary and unnatural state of things,
they were descending a road when
one or them Glanced to remark that he
was hungry, and the English "Sahib"
bought him some food at a way-side
shop. The kafir saw the money cLange
hands.
How Is this he inquired in surprise.
DO you have 10 pay for food in this
country"

What a country" cried the man.
in amaZement. Then after bordering
& while he continued, dOubtfully. Sup
pose a man had no money in this com-
try: he might starve!'

The katir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained The
riaIculous system 10 his companions,
and they roared in chorus.

Tense 10 American tastes which have
been heretofore fed upon n Scanty cos
tune pabulum in the way of moral eX-
element rather than upon the higher
condiments Of graceful terpsichorean
movements of the body. The moral
prudes are also trying to have the thea
ter in the streets of Cairo closed for the
same reason. In other words, the peo-
pie of the United States want to see
the manners and customs of all the
people of the earth dressed down alb
brcviated and trimmed to suit Ameri-
can proprieties, thus placing Il premium
upon humbugs.
There are many attractions lined
along the broad street of the PlaiSance
