ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for ons
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such il is not liable tc
any form of disease except by one o1
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad.
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani.
festei in the kidneys, back, bladder OF
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. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex.
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer

prietors of this paper guarantee the

MONSTERS OF THE DEEP.
svvOrdash and Two killers +" Attack
a sperm Whale.

a sperm whale.
Two killers and huge swordfsh
had combined their forces and ven
tured to attack half-grown bull
eachalot. 1t fell to the swordfsh to
lead off, and he launched himself at the
whale like torpedo, pointed direct for
the most vital part. But a gentle swerve
of the wary cachalot presented to the
attack, instead of the vulnerable broad
side, the oblique, impenetrable mass OF
his head.
The awful blow of the sword, i'm
PEELED by the furious speed of the mass
behind it, struck just before the whales
eye, ripping white streak diagonally
! upward through the gristly substance
| covering the skull, but spending its
force in the air above, while the great
body following glided, serpent like,
right over the whales head and fell
helplessly upon the other side.
With incredible agility for so vast a
bulk, the whale turned, settling slightly
withal; then rising, lower jaw upper
most, he caught the swordhsh fairly in
the center between those mighty shears
and cleft him in two halves.
\ sideway shake of the great head, a
scarce percephble gulp and the tail
half of that swordfsh slid down the
whales caveInous throat with as much
case and rapidity as if it had been an
oyster.
Meanwhile, the killers had not
been remiss in supporting the spirited
attack of heir Inflated coadiutor. One
hung upon either flank of their giant
foe, and worried him as dogs boar.
But their time had come. After vainly
endeavoring by rolling and writhing
to free himself from them, he suddenly
changed his tactics.
Rearing himself majestically out of
the seething eddies like a mighty coll
u1nn of black rock, he fell backward,
tearing himself away from the cling
ing monsters. Up rose his enormous
tail from the boiling vortex, and, de-
scending like a gigantic scythe, literal
~ crushed one of his aggressors be-
meath it. the sound of the blow re-
verberating like thunder.
The survivor fed, but the Infatuated
whale pursued. leap4ng, like dolphin.
half out of the sea at every bound, and,
| although we could not see the end of
the chase, we had little doubt but that

of his rashness under the lethal sweep

cuckoo Or the American COW bunting
among birds, lay their eggs by stealth
il the bumblebees' nests. The young,
when Matched, are cared for by their
foster parents, and when full-grown
are treated with as much consideration
as though they were guests Of honor.
Why the bumbldDees should permit
their unlimited visitors to remain with
them IS q mystery; for although some
species closely resemble their hosts IN
sze and color, others are quite differ
CRIT. It can hardly DO supposed, there
fore, that they are mistaken for right
ful members Of the colony. On this
account many naturalists have Thought
that they perform some important
service i'm return for their hospitgble
reception; but of what this duty, II
any, consists has never been discovered.
