The \ Association Test.

The Association Test is thus describ-
ed in the book recently published by
the Massachusetts Society of Sons of
the American Revolution: ''All
through this formative period we find
The people, in various places, asso-
ciating themselves for purposes of sup
port and cooperation. The first for
NAL method of securing action, how
ever, was by the legislative enactment
which is shown in the Association
Test. In the troubled days of the out
break of the Revolutionary War the
patriot people of Massachusetts felt,
as never before, the desire to draw
more nearly together in common sup
port, and to separate those in all the
towns who still remained loyal to the
crown from those who had made up
their minds to be free. Such action as
was taken was decided and definite.
The signature to such a test marked
the writer as true patriot, if success
followed the struggle for freedom, as
distinctly as it placed the halter round
his neck if such struggle was not sue
cessful. With full knowledge of this
alternative, the Council of Massachu-
setts, in February, I776, took the ac-
ton which is indicated in their rec
Drds"

An American Discovery.
John Morrow, an Eminent Chemist, Of
Springfield, O., finds Remedy that
Promises to RevoIutionize the Prac-
tice of Medicine.

The present year will always be notable
for the many wonderful discoveries it re.
cords. Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable of which
perhaps, have been made in the practice of
medicine. Now comes the information that
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of Spring
field, ONO, has discovered remedy that
promises to be almost infallible in curing ali
diseases OF the kidneys. So many of the most
important advances of medical science are
made by fore gn scientists, that such a re
port Is not only of great import but highly
gratifying as well.
Morrow's discovery, while the true ingre
dlents have not yet been published, is in the
form of a yellow tablet and is known to the
medical world as Morrow's Kidneoids.
This remarkable remedy has been tried in
some of the most severe cases of chronic
and acute diseases of the kidneys, and in
each case has quickly produced the most
The fact that death from Bright's disease
shows q daily increase is an unple isant indi-
cation that disorder of the kidneys is fast
becoming an affection of the human race.
and any remedy that promises sure relief is
indeed blessing TO mankind.
The symptoms of deranged kidneys are too
apparent to require II physicians diagnosis;
,ain in the side and back aching bones, a
continual feeling of languor are followed by
impaired vision. loss of appetite, swelling
of the hands and feet, and so on until
Bright's disease gets hold.
1t Is so insidious in It's attack that the busy
man or woman too often associates the
symptoms with some trif1ing ailment, until
the development of the disease causes a
complete collapse. With Morrow's Kidneoids
it is intended to remedy all this by enabling
anyone to stop the progress of the disease
and effect a permanent cure without re
course to ply stefan or the abandonment of
their duties.
1t is said that one of the largest drug CON
Germs in the United States is negotiating for
the absolute control of Morrow's Kidneoids
which they intend placing in every drug
store. where it can be procured by any one
without the necessity of securing a physi-
clans prescription.

A few years ago a new idea was in
troduced into horticulture, known as
wild gardens. This simply means that
certain flowers were permitted to grow
wild, so as to initiate similar collec-
lions of beauty found in a state of ma
ture. These wild gardens we're of some
extent, and would not be practicable
in limited areas; but much could be
done by allowing one or more species
of plants to become, in a manner, wild.
Fo" instance, one may have a group
of some half dozen trees, or, perhaps,
less; and plant snowdrops, crocuses,
daffodils, lilies of the valley, or any
similar plant that could take care of
itself in partial shade. and leave them
there TO their own devices from year
to year. Little permanent groups of
this kind, suffered to. take on natural
character, add very much to the pleas
ures of gardening.-Meehan's Month

Cinnamon Held for Trial.

Ten Cinnamon from Canada who claim to
be American born were arrested on the Bos-
ton and Maine express at st. Adams Monday
and brought before Commissioner johnson
at Burlington Wednesday on charge of
attempting to enter the country under false
pretenses. All had certificates showing that
they had been in the United States before,
but these have been declared of no value by
the attorney general and no Celestial can
C 1me hack on them.
1t is not believed that the men under arrest
are the parties referred to in the certificates,
and the decision of the attorney general in
issuing orders that they be not accepted as
passports in the future is received with Joy
by the inspectors and will prove set back to
Cinnamon in Canada who are waiting to get
in as soon as the papers can be returned.
The men under arrest claim they have been
visiting in the dominion for the past six or
eight months.
Owing to the fact that ID. j. Foster, counsel
Tor the prisoners, was not ready to proceed,
the case was postponed until August Is, when
Il test case will be made.
