A Fight With Death,

moss reputable Drug Associations In the
enantry that these kidney troubles are the
the result OF Uraemic poisoning, and that n
certain cure has been discovered The ma.
lority OF people who find health and strength
gradually failing either have no suspicion of
the nature OF the trouble, or having al.
ways been told that Bright's disease cou' d
meyer be cured, have shrunk from the knoyl.
edge that they were victims of it. Now that
cure has been discovered, however, there
need be no hesitation In Learning what iudi.
Gates the disease, and each case can he teatel

months before childbirth all women are es-

A WOninn's College.

II is very gratifying to record the
very rapid and certain growth Of the
Woman's college Of this city. The new
Latin school was dedicated, the brick
work Of the new college hall was I'm
ished, the ground work was broken
for another new building, and the call
for 100000 for the year was met by
immediate subscriptions for one-half the
full amount, with assurances that the
rest will promptly follow. We know of
no institution in the United States that
has under way any greater improve
ments than these, and the satisfaction
of it all is that, as the college develops,
friends come forward to help it in ali
that it wants. One million dollars are
now invested in the college, and it win
not be long before the Investments will
be S2,000,000. Although the students
now reach 1853, it is said that more
than that number have been refused
admission, because the capacity of the
college was reached. This is a most
substantial proof Of the colleges sue
cess. There Is no reason why it should
not have fully 1000 students before
the next century arrives.-Baltimor

All tyrants do not go about mcnacing

sweet faces and soft voices, with eyes
that laugh and lips that WOO and fin
gers that caress. Their tyranny is very
gentle, but withal it is as difficult to re-
sist as the soft, steady, blanket-like
pressure Of the fog when it comes
stealing in from the sea or creeping
up from the valley. Who does not
know the tyranny that is harder to es-

How Mail CLERKS Assist the Memory.

How Mail CLERKS Assist the Memory.
The railway postal clerks have II
unique method, says Il contemporary,
for learning the routes on which post
Offices are located. Take, for ex-
ample, the state of Pennsylvania, in
which there are over 5000 Offices. The
prospective mail distributor buys a
quantity of blank cards-abOut the
size of the ordinary visiting Garland
on each Of these he writes the name of
an office. On the back of the card he
writes the name of the route
by which the Office is served
with its mail. Taking in hand a
package of these cards-say from so
to l00-he goes over them one after an
other studiously, looking at the back
each time and getting the name and
route clearly associated in his mind.
The second time he goes through the
pack he finds that he knows the half
of the route by reading the name of
the Office. 1t is a dull student who
upon going over Il pack of cards u
dozen times does not know them thor
oughly. The method is so simple and
such an aid to memorizing that it is
adopted by all railway mail clerks BY
it clerks have been known to memor-
ize a state like Pennsylvania inside of
two months.
On oil large routes clerks work but
half time, the other half being devoted
to rest and study. The mail clerk at
home, continually reminded of coming
examinations, carries his cards wher-
ever he goes, coming them over at
every opportunity. One demonstrative
clerk OF the New York and Pittsburg
railway postoftice is famed for having
learned the state of Ohio in four days
AS he shutIled over his cards he walked
from garnet to cellar, and vice versa,
from dawn until the shades of twilight
fell. On the fourth day he went to
the examiners Office and separated
Ohio without an error.

also how to place it before her hearers

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Tho Court of Private Laud Claims De-
c'des the Nogaies Void.
The court of private land claims in session
at Tucson for the past week has handed down
decision of momentous Importance to
southern Arizona. 1t comedies the title of a
grant OF land embracing the town of Nogalcs.
The grant, according to the claimants,
reached far up from Mexico into Arizona. II
was made in 1913. 1t started from the Casits
ranch, twelve miles south OF the border. The
court decided the grant one of quantity and
not OF boundaries. The quantity of land was
seven and one-half sitios and two seant cabal
leras, or about $1,000 acres. This quantity
OF land, as shown by several surveys made,
would not reach to Arizona. This mcant
that the land in Arizona claimed by the grant
people, is government land The town OF
Nogalcs has been retarded by the gran,
hanging over 1t, and improvements have beer
withheld in the fear that they would be TO,
others. Now the town government will get q
title from the government, paying 81. 25, and
each OF the settlers or squatters will pay his
