"CALL A SPADE A SPADE"
Some People too Modest to Conde in their Physician Woman
Drawback Of which was t MsSs Her w'i Too fst' At: '
From the Evening Ne,os, Detroit, Mich.

The doctor came in haste and found his
patient again in great agony from splitting
headache. 1t was his fifth call on the same
patient, and each time to treat the same
trouble. With suspicion that his diagno.
sis was incorrect and that he was treating
symptom and not the disease, he said to her /:
Madam, it is useless for me to visit you
again. You are keeping from me facts and
symptoms which it is necessary | should
know. The patient finally acknowledged
that, through a false modesty,, she had not
suffered from female weakness but had kept
it from him-too modest to speak. The old
doctor was disguised at such prudishness
but when he knew the facts, cured her easily
and quickly.
The following case differs from the above,
only in the fact that the patient is not afraid
to speak, and to "call spade spade"

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as
much from distressing kidney and blad.
der trouble as the men. The womb Is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any distress,
disease or inconvenience manifested in
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty four hours a sediment or
settling IS evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty sup
ply, with smarting or burning,-these
are also convincing proofs of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored without
benefit, try DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are SO honest in their
habits that such defences to property
as locks, bolts and bars are not re-
quired; nor are there any police in the
island. Yet its history for 1000 years
records no more than two thefts. OF
these two cases one was that of ma
tive, who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done SO
to supply his family, who were suffer-
ing for want of food, when he had
broken his arm, provisions were fur.
nished to them and work was found
for him when able to do it, and mean,
while he was placed under medical
care; but the stigma attached to his
crime was considered sufficient punish
ment.
The other theft was by German,
who stole seventeen sheep. But as he
was in comfortable circumstances and
the robbery was malicious, the sem
tence passed upon him was that he
should sell all his property, restore
the value of what he had stolen and
then leave the country or be executed,
and he left at once.
But, though crime is rare in Ice
land, and its inhabitants are distin-
guished for honesty and purity of
morals, there is, of course, provision
for the administration of justice, which
consists, first of all, by appeals to the
court of three judges at Reykiavik, the
capital; and lastly in all criminal and
most civil cases, tn the Supreme Court
at Copenhagen, the capital of Den
mark, of which kingdom the island
forms part. The island of Panaris
Zone of the Lipari group is equally
fortunate in having neither prisons
nor lawyers, and being absolutely des-
titute of both paupers and criminals. -

THE DAY BEYOND,

When youth is with us, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in dream
And take our toll for work undone:
sFor life is long, and time a stream.
That sleeps and sparkles in the sun
What need of any haste?" we say,
"To-morrow's longer than to-day"
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven of our dreams, in vain
Our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
We have no leisure to enjoy.
$50 few the years that yet remain;
SO much to do, and ah!" we say,
"To-morrow's shorter than to day"
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
at is not here-the bliss we seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief?" we say,
''To-morrow's longer than to-day"

Thine own friend and thy fathers
friend forsake not.
There is pleasure in meeting the
eyes of those to whom we have done
good.
The criminal is not another kind of
being; =, he is ourself in our worst
moods.
Every great and commanding move
ment in the annals of the world is the
triumph of enthusiasm.
A set of mortals has risen who be-
lieve that truth is not printed spec
ulation but practical fact.
Some women seem to think they
ought to be loved, whether they do
any of it themselves or not.
Men of the noblest dispositions
think themselves happiest when others
share their happiness with them.
Do good constantly, patiently and
wisely, and you will never have cause
to say that life was not worth living.
Everywhere a::d always mans
worth must be gauged to some extent,
though only in part, by his domesti-
city.
Men of humor are, in some degree,
men of genius; wits are rarely so, al.

Manhood begins when we have in
any way made truce with necessity;
but begin joyfully and hopefully only
when we have reconciled ourselves to
necessity.
Every attempt to make others
happy, every sin left behind, every
temptation trampled under foot, every
step forward in the cause of what is
good is a step nearer heaven.
The greatest and noblest work in
the world andsan effect of the greatest
prudence and cure, is to rear and
build up man and to form and fashion
him to piety, justice, temperance and
all kinds of honest and worthy actions.
We should ponder the particular
characteristics which are needed to
encounter manfully all failures in life,
and secure from them whatever bene-
fit they are capable of bestowdng, for
these are very different from the quail
ties which enable man to ride trium-
phantly on the tide of success.

foresight or labor. We reap what we
sow, but nature has love over and

Assistant Chief Alexander Scott of
the division of drafting of the Patent
Office has an interesting list of the
patents granted to women inventors of
the United States, compiled from 1890
to January l, 1895. Up to that period
there had been issued 531, ,619 patents
to all persons, the number of women
included being surprisingly large. The
articles on which the patents have
been granted comprise everything in
the patentable line, from curling iron
to a cooking stove, and from war
vessel to a handsaw While many of
the patents are no objects of peculiar
interest to women, many of them are
On scientific machines, objects of war
fare, miners utensils and things which
would be only useful to the male por-
ton of humanity. Of course, the baby
has not been forgotten, and the articles

lar buttons have been invented by
wives, mothers and sweethearts. Evil

culine mind or prevent the accustomed,
or, at least, accredited, profanity
which is supposed to flow when one Of
the buttons becomes detached from o
garment and rolls somewhere out of
reach or "cannot possibly be found. Z"
1--WE have found" said Mr.. Scott to
the Star reporter, ''that the objects
patented by women are of just as prac-
ticable nature as those gotten out by
the men. Very often it happens that
men invent an object which is of in
terest exclusively to womankind, as a
new style of hair fixer, but the reverse
is often the case. 1t frequently hap
pens that a woman will suggest some
thing to her husband, or some male
member of the family, who acts upon
it, taking out the patent and getting
credit for it, of course, fully with the
consent of the one suggesting the idea.
Any one who thinks that a woman is
incapable Of inventing anything really
useful is making great mistake, as q
look over the list of the thousands OF
objects will testify. Some of the most
important things in use nowadays
have been invented by women and
brought into general use by them"

Americas First Cotton Mill,

Tho tablet which is to mark the site
of the first cotton mill in America was
put in place yesterday at the corner of
Dodge and Cabot streets, North Bev-
erly, says the Boston Herald. There
was no formal exercises, but among
those invited by the Beverly Historical
Society to be present was the Hon. r.
s. Rantoul, of Salem, as the result of
whose researches the fact was demon
strated that this was really the first
cotton mill in America. 1t seems that
when Mr.. Rantoul was Mayor Of
Salem he was invited to Pawtucket,
r. l., to attend the celebration Of the
centennial of the opening of the first
cotton mill in America. He did not
go, but he began to look up the history
of the cotton mills. The result de-
monstrated beyond doubt that the mill
in Beverly antedated that in Paw
tucket by some years. The facts are
substantiated by no less person than
George Washington, who on his tour
through New England made a visit to
this mill in 1879, and recorded at
length his impressions. This was q
year before sSlater came to America,
and two years before he started his
mill in Pawtucket. The Beverly mill
was built and running in 1888.

General Lew Wallace and Rev. DR..
W. FL. Hickman, Vice-Chancellor of
Depauw University, have raised q
storm of protests because of highland
ed criticisms of the wheel. During
the reception of well-drilled COM
mandery at Charlottesville, and while
General Wallace was making the well
coming address, he claimed that the
best appearing men were those who
had received military training, and
he took occasion to deprecate the use
of bicycles, saying that the riders
looked more like monkeys than men,
and that bicycling was time wasted. 1t
remained, however, for DR.. Hickman
to come out fiatfooted in denouncing
the use of bicycles for women. He
declares that it is one of the most
baneful agencies ever invented in so
far as it concerns the gentler sex. 1t
takes the young woman from her home
and home duties; its tendencies are
altogether wrong. He also asserts that
it affords means of easy escape from
the restrictions of conventionality,
and is harmful from hygienic stand
