HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty -four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
news and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes That unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times in the nightto urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized 1t
stands the highest for its wond erful
cures of the most distressing cases. Ii
you need medicine you should have

cents and one dollar. You may have

In the evening twilight of winter time,
when the fire sparkles and glows and
dances upon the hearth, there are dreams
and air castles of the future in the flames
for the young woman who sits and gazes
into them Whether these air castles will
ever become realities, is largely a matter
of health.
No woman can hope to be a contented
wife, the mistress of a happy home and the
mother of healthy children who suffers
from weakness and disease of the delicate
organs that are distinctly feminine. Ali
the air castles that she builds will crumb1e
into dust, unless she takes measures to cor
rect the disorders from which she suffers.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is posi-
tive cure for all disorders of these most
sensitive organs. It makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous It prepares woman
for happy wifehood and healthy mother
hood. 1t robs maternity of its peril and
of nearly all pain. 1t insures children with
strong, healthy constitutions Thousands
of women have testified to its marvellous
merits For nursing mothers it is the best
supportive tonic.

thinking of the larger profit he'll make

No ONE can make the plea Of too
great length for not reading Presi-
dent McKinley's message tic congress
in full. The president has set an ad-
mirable example in condenslng what
he has to say into a short, business
like document, easily read and un-
derstood 1t makes only eight or
nine columns in all-about one-fourth
as much AS most Of our presidents
have in the past devoted to their
efforts. The beginning of the mes
sage is taken up with the currency
question and some needed reforms
suggested. Agood word is spoken for
bimetallism. In regard to Cuba, the
president takes very conservative
standpoint, and intimates that under
the new Spanish ministry matters
may be brought to peaceful solu-
ton. The annexation of Hawaii Is
treated as foregone conclusion, and
Alaska must be looked after in g.
better manner. President Mckinley
sees fit to incorporate the customary
praise of civil service reform, begun
by President Cleveland to please q
lot of sore heads and idealists who
entertained very visionary ideas on
this subject, but in view of the fact
that in every other respect the COM
munlcation is model, this little di-
version may easily be overlooked

New Diseases.

There are a number Of ills incident
TO the use Of new appliances, and these
have already become SO clearly recog-
nized that they are q matter Of course
in medical practice. Indeed, the VIC
tins have given names to them which
have been adopted in scientific phrase
ology. Bicycle back Is familiar i'll,
and comes of the doubling-up position
about which so much has been written
and said. 1t is akin to the disease
known as miners back, which comes
upon men who work in mines and are
in stopped position for many hours
at time. Telephone ear is not un-
common complaint. 1t Is not an cr-
ganic disease, but purely nervous
condition and arises from nervous
strain. Almost without exception the
trouble ceases with the discontinuance
of the use of the telephone. Telegraph
er's and typewriter's cramp has many
victims. This difficulty Is not easily
gotten over, as in many instances the
muscles become almost or altogether
useless, and the patient is unable to
control them. 1t is durable only after
a course Of scientific treatment. One
of the latest complaints is the trolley
foot. The continuous use Of the foot
on the bell causes soreness, infamma-
tion and nervous troubles, and very
many men have left the employ Of the
trolley roads in consequence Of this
difficulty. So 1t Is seen that the higher
grades Of mechanics bring evils with
them, and that the law Of compensation
obtains here as well as in almost every
thing else in the world.

Storage PuriIies Water.

After nil, The best kind OF purifier
is natures own. The minute organ
1sms known as bacteria are the chief
causes OF the impurity of drinking
water. These invisible creatures have
to live well as $heir larger brethren,
and they must eat to live. As soon as
they have eaten all in the water that
there is to feed on they die. DR..
Frankland has stated from his recent
examination of water stored for two
weeks, that it seems rs pure and free
from bacteria life as though it had
passed through the best of filters; but
it seems strange that this should have
SO recently come under DR.. Frank
lands experience. Every one knows
that there is no purer or better water
in the world than that which is sup
piled to seafaring people. Almost
any kind of water stored away in q
ships tank becomes absolutely pure
after the vessel has been few weeks
at seq. This is usually ascribed in
popular language to fermentation /;
but there is really nothing to ferment,
it is simply thst the bacteria have
eaten everything in the water there is
to eat and then died of starvation.-

c1EAR1Na OLD FENCE ooRNRs

Wherever an old fence hai stood
the land is pretty sure to grow into o
hedge of bushes and trees tha!nnless
gotten rid Of make the fence an dence.
Very often the cost of gettinerid of
these encumbrances prevents Armers
from dispensing with the fene alto
gether. Where there are mary trees
in the fence their stunlps, ater the
trees are disposed of, will PREVENT
plowing the land for year,. But
where the fence row is only ilidwith
bushes, digging them out iithout
cutting them down is the best m.Ehod.
With team Of horses to pull IN the
top when the root is dug ..arond and
partly loosened, it is not aflonI job to
snake out large patch of bushes.
The land whero these are gown is
generally rich, as the, fence hs held
the leaves from adjoining fclssfrom
blowing any farther, and it is tsir de.
composition that, has favord the
growth of bushes. Tho reclaining of
such fertile land helps to growcrops
to be made into manure and tbs en-
rich the cultivated fields. By iaking
the fields larger and dispensirs with
the fences, the cost of cultiveion;; is
greatly reduced. This is an imprtant

His "LiitIe Feller. -

ST happened to be down in my Gel
lar the other morning when the ash.
man came around to collect the ashes,
said gentleman who resides in Second
avenue. 81 was opening barrel OF
great red apples at the time, and when
the big, dust.oovered and necessarily
untidy man came back with the empty
ash barrel I picked up On apple and
held it out toward him, s. 7ing as l did
go:
"'Won't you have an apple9'
eHe took it eagerly, saying as he
did so:
"s9hank ye, sir: I've little feller
at home who'll be tickled to death to
gilt it. I most always find something or
other in tho ash barrels to carry home
to IN at night, but it amt often git
anything equal to this big apple. 1

when he sees it.
81 don't know how many times that
day my thoughts were of that big,
rough. handed fellow, with that apple
put away so carefully in his pocket for
that. 'little feller.

at tho close of his weary day, but then
there was the little feller's' presence
to n axe beautiful evon the bare walls

to his fathers eyes and JOY to his
fathers heart.
"These little fellers' glorify and

WORDS OF WISDOM.

We have but one instant to live, and
We have hopes for years.
The winner is he who gives himself
to his work body and soul.
Doing good is the only certainly
happy. action of mans life.
/ Our happiness in this world depends
chiefly on tho affection We are aEle to
inspire.
When the character of person is
discussed, silence, in the good natured,
is censure.
There are more fools than sages; and
among the sages there is more folly
than wisdom.
We must often consider not what
the wise will think but what the fool
ish will say.
The next time you are tempted to
buy an article on credit remember
the impudent collector who will call
on you.
One reason why the world gains
knowledge SO slowly, is that every
child must find out for itself that fire
is hot.
Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes
one rich, and when it does riches are
q curse. There is no such thing as
dishonest success.
It is well to remember when in or
out of society that people and fine
linen never made porcine character
fine gentleman.
"The older man GETS" said the
corn,fed philosopher, "the llorder he
finds it to feel sorry for woman
whose pug dog has died."
One ofthe superstitions that will sur
vive until the end fof time is that the
man who does not smile when ad-
dressing a female acquaintance is q
cross-grained bear.
The wife who lis meek and patient
AMI forgiving and always meets her
husband with smiling face no matter
how much he makes her cry in secret,
gets terribly tiresome.
Narrow.minded men who have not a
thought beyond the little sphere OF
their own vision, recall the Hindoo
saying. "The snail sees nothing but
it's own. shell, and thinks it the grand.
est in the universe.
