ran over in one continual song from
the top of the tree. The little girl
looked like a guardian spirit from
above.

The color that had come with the
robins slowly faded from cheek and
eye-as the birdlings in the nest grew
stronger, the one in the old house
grew weaker, and still the days went
by. The father-robin sobered down
with five wide mouths to feed, the
mother had to stretch her wings a lit
tie further every night to keep the
nestlings in. The apple buds had long
since swelled into blossoms, the BIOS
SONS had flown off on the wind in
scented showers, leaving the small,
green balls that were to be apples in
the far-off fall, and the leaves had
turned to darker hue. The little girl
rested on pillows now, in the wheel
chair; her mother lifted her when she
looked down into the nest
Mamma, how long will it be before
the robins fly?" she asked.
The mother laid her head by the one

only the whisper that was not meant
for her: "Oh, my love, my lover
At last the wheel-chair stood alone

very still within the curtained bed.

The times for resting grew longer
and the times for waking short.
The sun, sending his last shafts Of
light through the leaves one late af-
ternoon, touched the eyes so often
closed, and they opened at his kiss.
"Fs it sunset?' she asked. Take me
up, mamma l have not said good

Tenderly the mother lifted her, while
the sweet breath of the meadow came
up on the breeze. and the leaves were

NEW SHRUB THAT is AREMEDY,
A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
RbeumatIEm.

Rheumatism.
It is no doubt true that next to con-
sumption, more people die yearly from
diseases OF the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease is the most dangerous OF all
maladies, because 1t usually has maze
much progress before the victim Is
aware of its existence. 1t is, there
fore, with great pleasure we commend
to our readers the recent discovery
in East India OF the Kava-Kava shrub,
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases Of the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are lnoeed
most remarkable. Many who have sun
cred from the most severe forms OF the
disease, have been completely cured III
from twenty TO forty days by the
Kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World of Sept. 10th, the testl-
mony OF Rev. w. B. Moore. D. D., OF
Washington, d. c., was given, describ-
ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H. Wat
son of Sunset, Texas, a minister of the
gospel of thirty years service, was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering be-
tween life and death for two months.
and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkayis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength and Is
fulfilling his duties as minister OF the
gospel. Mr. r. c. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Lowell. Indiana, was cur
ed of rheumatism, Kidney and Blad-
der disease of ten years standing by
Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes himself
as being in constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten times during the
night on account of weakness OF the
bladder. He was treated by all his
home physicians without the least
benefit and finally completely cured in
a few weeks by Alkavis. The tcsti-
mony is undoubted and really wonder
full. Any of our readers who are so un-
fortunate as to suffer from Kidney dis
orders or rheumatism should write tc

Salt is universally recognized as of
prime Importance to farm animals and
especially to milk cows. Rock salt is
not as much in favor as formerly. 1t
is good plan to have loose salt where
the animals may have daily access to
it. Prof. Robertson. of the Ontario
Agricultural department says that salt
to the amount of a quarter of pound
day should be added to the ration of
a milk COW. He says that the other
conditions being equal, COW fed this
amount as salt daily will yield IA to Z
per cent more and richer milk, than if
deprived of salt; then in hot weather
milk will keep sweet several hours
longer if salt is a part of the daily ra-
ton.

An increasingly paying enterprise
for women, is that of dolls dress MAX
ing. There is said to be in New York
a demand for such work, which is light
and agreeable, affording something for
the semi-invalid to occupy her time
and hands with, lessening her loneli-
ness, while adding to her little store.
Yet, not every one can dress doll, it
requires taste and neatness, and some
patience as well. Only the excellent
