HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys 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
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
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 neces-
sity of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Roog is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for it's wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best

VIII there be Currency Commission.

The question as to whether congress
will or will not Immediately take up the
currency revision is now looked upon
with much interest. There are two
sides to this question and both sides are
being carefully examined by those who
are to determine what the course OF
events is to be in this particular. By
many it is believed that, the special
work Of the special session in the pas
sage of a tariff bill having been so
promptly and happily completed, the
business element of the country would
prefer an opportunity to adjust itself to
the new conditions in regard to the
tariff before being brought face to face
with the currency problem. Those who
hold to this view believe that it would
be better to defer any action Con the
currency question until the regular
meeting of congress in December and
give the country rest" Whether
this plan is determined upon or whether
a currency commission shall be urged
upon congress at once is not fully de-
termined, but the public may rest as
sured that there is no disposition on the
part Of the administration to delay OF
trife with the currency question any
more than it has with the tariff.

One on the Sexton,

A man strolled into a fashionable
church just before the service began.
The sexton followed him up, and, tap
ping him on the shoulder and pointing
to a small cur that had followed him
into the sacred edifce, said:
dogs are not admitted"
That's not my dog" replied the
visitor.
''But he follows YOU"
"Well, so do you"
The sexton growled and Immediately

You need not be frightened at the

1t is perfectly harmless. because 1t Is

of the water. In q little while you will
see the scorpion move about Of its own

bits of philosophy in this experiment:
let us see what they are. 1. The scor-
pion swims on the water. but Is very
nearly submerged. This shows us that

that camphor has of moving on water.
The particles not only move about, but
they rotate on their own axis. This.

Others say 1t Is due to a mysterious

Science and Great Citles.

Professor Brewer. Of Yale University.
In a recent address called attention to
the interesting fact that at the begin
ming of this century not single city
in Christendom had SO many as a mil
lion Inhabitants. In 1900 Paris had
$4,000, and in 1901 London had S64, 900.
Great cities could not exist then as the
advance of science has enabled them to
exist to-day. Science has helped the
cities not only by conquering pesti-
lence. and teaching the laws Of health.
but by enabling them to draw their
supplies from the remotest quarters Of
the earth instead Of being dependent
for food, as was the case at the open
ing of the century, upon the region Of
country Immediately surrounding
them.

Life Plant.

Travellers in Bermuda and the West
Indies often bring back as a souvenir
Of their trip the leaves of an interest
ing plant Of the houseleek family. It
Is known as the life plant. and when
the leaves begin to shrivel and fade
they send out little shoots which in
turn bear leaves that continue to grow
and remain fresh and green for months.
The leaves are about four inches
long, rich green in color. and Of q
smooth, waxen texture. The plant, the
books say, is of the genus "Bryophyl-
lum. belonging to the Crassulaceae
family: succulent. with herbaceous or
shrubby stem and annual or perennial
roots. growing in hot. dry, exposed
places" In Bermuda it grows to bo

reached the placid waters Of Lake On

entirely disappear. This and many
other similar facts were adduced to
show that quiet subsistence In undis-

Hence Professor Frank argues that
the storage of water in reservoirs Ia
an excellent method of freeing it from

Discovering Consumption in the Blood

Discovering Consumption In the Blood.
DR.. A. NJ. Holmes. of Denver. a
specialist on lung diseases, declares
that microscopical examination OF
the blood will show the early begin
ming of consumption before it makes
Itself known in the lungs. A tiny pin
prick and a drop of blood under the
microscope foretells the disease In
time to stop its future growth. In
times past 1t has only been by an ex-
animation of the disease germ or by
soundings Of the chest that the fact
of the lungs giving way before insidi-
GUS consumption could be known.
Then the knowledge was too late. for
when such stage had been reached
the disease would be already SO firmly
seated that nothing could be hoped save
to prolong the sufferers life. Should
the discovery be confirmed. 1t will
prove one of the most important in the
history Of medical science.

It has long been held from practical
experience that the network Of wires
now found in many towns protects
those places from the effects of light
ming. and probably also prevents many
thunderstorms from breaking over
them. An official inquiry has been re-
Gently made in Germany as to the influ-
ence exerted by telephone wires on at
mospheric electricity. with a view to
set at rest the question whether danger
from lightning stroke is increased or
diminished by q close network Of wires.
This has shown that the wires tend to
weaken the violence and diminish the
danger Of the lightning stroke. Re-
turns obtained from $40 towns provid-
ed, and from $50 not provided. with a
telephone system. show that the danger
varies, on the average. in the proper
ton of to 4.6 between the two cases.

It Is said that by giving plaster fig
ures a bath in a certain way they may
be made to look like marble. The bath
is made by putting two generous
quarts Of water into an agate kettle
with one ounce of pure curd soap and
one ounce Of white beeswax, cut into
small pieces: let this dissolve over a
slow fire, and when all the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed tie fine twine
around the figure and dip 1t into the
LIQUID. Take the figure out and hold
il in the air for five minutes and then
again dip it into the liquid: let the
figure dry fo- few days and then rub
it with a soft flannel; brilliant gloss

The order for full dress parade by
the troops of the garrison, which was
issued Monday and revoked yesterday,
was again issued last evening and ac-
cordingly the men turned out on the
lower parade this morning promptly
at $3.50 in full dress uniform in brigade
formation where they were reviewed
by the department commander, Gen.
VIM. M. Graham. After the inspection
of. the troops, the general also paid
visit to the various quarters, where he
gave them his first personal inspection.
The parade was very magnificent af-
fair and was witnessed by large
number of persons from the city. A
full dress parade of the whole garrison
at one time is an object not often wit
messed and one to inspire patriotism
to almost any heart. The handsome
gold braided dress coats of the men
and officers, with their magnificent
black helmets and waving plumes is
enough to even strike envy to the heart
of the militia dude. Notwithstanding
all this show the men do not take kind
ly to it on warm day nor would any
one else hardly do so, when they dis
covered that those beautiful dress coats
were padded with about an inch of
cotton all around.

rear of some property on Soledad

swan across the stream and escaped
through the yard of the Collins Manu-

a little colored boy, who could not
swim. He got on a rock in the middle
of the river and would not move either
way. The officer secured a rope and
did the cowboy act, roping the little
fellow and bringing him to the bank.
