NOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill Il bottle OF common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-iour hours;
Il sediment on settling indicates an I'M
healthy 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 kidneys and bladder are
out of order.

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys. liver, bladder and every part of
urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain i'll lGlss-
ing it, on bad effects following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcOmes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
TO urnate. The mild and the eXtraordi-
nary effort of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. 1t you need medicine you should

Donkey Sausage.

One of the glories Of the city of Lyons,
which claims the attention and admiration
of every visitor, is an artistic product of
the butcher known as sauoisson de Lyon,
or, in English, Lyons sausage. Is is made
of donkey-raw donkey-and no writer
has celebrated the astronomical excellence
of this patient, yexatious and often i'll
used beast with more delicate appreciation
than the late Philip Gilbert Hamerton in
Chapters on Animals. !"
OF tho ass when living could not say
much that is wholly favorable, but when
he appears in the state of saueisson he may
DO praised without the slightest restric-
ton.
In sections like dark red marble dashed
with white it may be cut to an infnitesi-
NAL thinness, leaving surface smoother
than tho finest veneers. In the mass it is
closely wrapped in silvery foil to guard
against the influences of the air.
In the sweetest associations of the mem
DRY the saucisson has it's place. Weary aft
er the mornings march, the tourist takes
it from his knapsack and lays upon his
bread those dainty disks which are its
slices The strength of his youth comes
back to him, and the Alpine SHOWS no
longer seem inaccessible.
Al the stateliest imperial banquet the
saueisson is not disdained. At the pleas
ant picnic by the shady river it is found in
the welcome baskets. The angler has it in
his bag, the shooter in his capacious pock-
ct, the canoeist in his lilliputian cabin OF
stores.
O saucisson de Lyon, sad is tho mo-
.I-c..t when we cast tho skinny remnant Of
thee into the stream, but the little fishes
oongregate eagerly to the banquet and ask
each other what noble animal has yielded
his flesh for their feasting.
