CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause Of bladder
troubles. SO the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
| If not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back Of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested IN the kidneys, back, bladder Or
usinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed TO female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. 70 find ont correctly, set
your urine aside for 24 hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect OF DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you need medicine ycu

HERE is PROGRESS.

The United States, through its
Agricultural Department, is max.
ing some interesting experiments
in the matter of wagon roads. The
design is for steel trackway capable
of withstanding the wear of the
heaviest traffic, and that it is now
proposed to lay at least two hundred
feet of stack as q section of the
Geneva road, which will be the
first experiment with this track to
be made under official auspices.
"The department has adopted
design for the proposed trackway
after extensive correspondence
with the principal steel manufac-
turers of the country. Sometime
ago a circular letter was sent to
the leading manufacturers,
describing the views of the
department and soliciting
suggestions, sketches and
estimates. Encouraging responses
were received from several firms
such as the. Carnegie Steel Com
pany, and some others. The
officials of the steel works |
became interested in the project
and submitted quite number of
designs. After much careful study,
a plan of track was evolved which
gives every promise to meet al
requlrments."
No wood will be used in its
construction, and no crossties for
support, as the average mind would
be led to believe. The track
consists of a simple inverted
trough, or channel of steel, for
each wheel with slightly raised
head on the inside to guide the g
wheel, eacS channel resting on a '
head of gravel and the two tied
every few yards to prevent Z"
spreading. 5
can ingenious feature of the o
road is the arrangement for e
remounting the road in the event >
that a heavy wagon becomes !" !;
from the track. The d
ends of the rails are joined by D
certain plates which serve to join Y
he rails and present an inclired p
shoulder by which the dislodged u =,
Wheel easily travels to the track h,

that we should make an effort to

have already been deprived. We
don't want Republic in name only
we want q government of the

a government, the people
themselves must constitute a court
oflast resort. Congress should be
a Court of Appeal, for the purpose
of reviewing the decisions of The
Judges. and the people should
be the highest Court of Appeal
for the purpose of reviewing the

to agitate any longer. The people
have long been ready and are now
clamorous for a change. | hope

EducatiOn's Rapid Growth.

Books, 60 years ago, were few in COM
parison with now. The public libraries
of the United States, all put together,
had only 100000 volumes in 1887. This
is less than the Boston public library
contains to-day. Three of our Amer
lean libraries have together more books
than were in all the public libraries of
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
when Victoria assembled the throne.
Ignorance was general. Forty per cent.
of the men and IS per cent. of the wom-
en- of Great Britain could not write
their own names when Victoria became
their queen. The national educational
system was but three years old; its
money grants amounted to only $780,

Ridge, n. j., declares that since his town.
has built few miles Of macadam
roads, property has almost doubled in
value. New Jersey farmers are enthu-
siastic for the further extension of the
state aid system, under which the i'm
proved roads OF that state have been
built
Good roads have paid for themselves
in New Jersey. They have paid for
themselves in North Carolina, in Massa-
chusetts and in Connecticut, the states
in which the greatest progress has so
far been made in their construction.
France, Germany, Holland and Belgium
have found macadam roads profitable.
Is there any reason why they should
prove improbable in any state in the
union, with our vast agricultural inter-
ests? Our exports of grain are growing
steadily from year to year. Machinery
is used at every step. Large amounts
are spent for this machinery each year,
because of the saving it effects. If our
agriculture is to continue to compete
in the markets of the world, those who
are engaged in it must practice economy
at every step. The loss due to bad roads
is one of the greatest wastes Of energy
connected with farming as Carried on in
this country. Why not, then, inv;~t in
good roads, which will save farmers
more than any other investment they
can make? - Otto Dorner, in Cycling

though the long lapse of time, more
than six years, has served, as time al
ways does, to blunt the keen edge of
the sorrow that had come to her, yet
Elsie Benefits existence was one long
life of quiet sadness and of sly retire
ment. She devoted herself entirely to
the task of caring for her dear father,
now growing so old and every day more
feeble, and beyond that she took little
interest in what passed in the world
around her. Only now and then some
great deed, some particular event,
aroused her out of her half-lethargic
state, Just as this account of herolsm
in Burmah had done. But she soon re-
lapsed again. as she did here, into her
dreamy sadness. and into wondering
several times Il day what had been the
fate of her long-lost lover.
It was some two months after the
events narrated above in connection
with the heroic act had taken place
that Robert Cornell, private in the
|-th lancers, returned to England-to
London-with his regiment, at the close
of the struggle in the far east. News OF
the homecoming of the regiment had
circulated far and wide, and after the
decentralization at the docks the regl-
mcnt was to proceed to Hounslow, this
being its destination for some time.
Those who had friends or relatives
amongst the men came down IN troops
to meet and welcome them, as the Lam
GERS, preceded by their own and other
bands. passed through the city on their
way to the camp. But that great crowd
of cheering thousands was not come
ONLY to see the brave men VINO mad
fought in Bermah, though it "hooraed'
and applauded them vigorously and en-
Enthusiastically as they rode travel
stained. battered, and bruised through
London's chief streets. 1t had come to
cheer and shout at the men with whose
fame England was just then ringing
again. and men who had so gallantly
saved the regimental standard, and who
was now, by the good old coloners ex-
press orders, carrying the very banner
