One OF Two WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pLr-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis
eases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. 1t
is situated back of and very close TO the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
Inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, 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
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild
and the extraordinary effects of DR..

A Chinese New Years.

Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday, and all was gaiety and
hustle.
The narrow, picturesque streets were
decorated with brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops, the yellow dragon-hags floated
against q blue California sky
1t was sunny day in February; and
the streets were swarming with n null
titude of Chinese-men, women and
children-rall arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially,
with their bright faces and black eyes,
and in their pretty costumes, formed a
most pleasing and interesting feature
of this living Oriental picture.
Everybody seemed to be happy and
good-natured; and ever and anon, as a
group Of friends met, they stopped and
amid much ceremonlous bowling ex-
changed the compliments Of the season;
for this festive occasion was nothing
more nor less than the celebration Of
the Chinese New Year.
The idea of celebrating New Years
Day in February may strike some of
my readers as odd. But, since this has
been the Chinese custom from time i'm
memorial, and is older by several thou
sand years, than our acceptance Of the
first of January as the proper time, the
Chinese, perhaps, are not far wrong
in supposIng themselves to be at least
as much in the right as ourselves. This
question, however, was Of no concern to
this merry holiday throng. They were
quite satisfied with the arrangement;
and, with the utmost belief In their own
superiority, they felt at heart an Unborn
contempt-common to all Chinese-for
Outside barbarians." This term en-
braces all nations not living within the
sacred boundaries of ''The Flowery
Kingdom" and includes the inhabi-
tnnts of all the world; and these unfor-
tunate outsiders are broadly divided
into cIasses-Eastern and Western bar
barians.-St. Nicholas.

Ohedient tn thn Dali.

The editor Of Thierfreund relates the
following story, drawn from his per-
sonal experience of the high training
of military horses. In the year 1872,
during O skirmish with the Sioux In
dams, the Third Cavalry Regiment had
formed an encampment in a valley on
the southern border of Dakota.
At nightfall the horses were tethered
to the ground by a long line. Toward
daybreak violent storm of rain and
hail burst over the valley. The unshel-
tered animals, terrified at the violence
of the storm, broke loose, and tore
away in a wild stampede up the steep
sides of the valley, their fear driving
them right into the territory of the
enemy.
Without horses the soldiers would be
at the mercy of the enemy, yet it was
impossible, in the half-darkness, to go
after them into an unknown region
probably full of Indians. Everything
seemed lost, when the captain, as last
resource, ordered the stable call to be
sounded. In few minutes every horse
had returned to the encampment, and
the men were saved.
