HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive 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.

Irish Dueling Code.

The Irish dueling code has been

bar at the Clonmel assizes in 1777 and
appears to aim at SO arranging matters
that no Irishman anxious to fight shall
be baked by his wish. 'The first of
tense requires the first apology, al
though the retort may be more often

be explained away. But if either par

must either beg pardon in express terms,

AN Artist Lesson.


An artist who is we'll known in
northern city used occasionally to put
ON his shabbiest clothes and penetrate
to the slums in search of inspiration for
his brush. On one of these excursions
he stopped to watch the efforts of rag
ged urchin who was disfguring the
pavement Of squalid street with a
piece of soft blue stone, and, although
the figures which the lad drew were
grotesque, the artist was struck with
their originality and began to take an
interest in their development.

No Authority for Pipe Lines.

No exceptions can be successfully taken
to the reasoning of the attorney for the
District II. lis opinion on the pipe line
question submitted to him in connection
with the lexington and Belt rapid transit
projects. He was confronted with pro-
vision in the law which Receiver Schoepf
has construed to give the companies per-
mission to disturb the streets in order to
lay seventeen miles of pipes. His duty was
to seek the real intention of Congress in
the case. to ascertain by a close reading Of
the statute. if possible, whether the houses
in legisating had used words which meant
that the compressed air car should be any
other than an independent motor, as the
District committees were promised it should
be- His inquiry resulted in the discovery
that the provision for experimental
period OF tests with the air cars made no
mention whatever of provisions for pipe
lines. and he is wholly justified in the
assumption that Congress did not contem-
plate that pipe lines were to be used as
necessary in connection with the propul-
sion of compressed air cars at any stage of
the project The logic of the situation is
inevitable. The experiments authorized
were intended to determine the availability
of the cir system fer local use. They were
designed to demonstrate the exact degree
no time during the preliminary period of
preparation or during the course of the
tests themselves did the companies suggest
the need Of pipe lines to carry on the eX-
periments. They acknowledged by their
success in this direction that air cars can
be run along the routes of the two roads
independent of any fixed plant save an air
compressor at the terminus. Thus they
justified the view of Congress which con-
sidered it TO be unnecessary to provide pipe
lines for the experimental tests. AS the
commissioning attorney well says 1t is evil
dent that if Congress saw no necessity for
such equipment for the experiments, which

Complete the Tunnel.

The Federation by the chief of engineers
in his annual report of the recommends
ton that the abandoned aaueduct tunnel
and reservoir be completed places once
more on Congress the necessity of facing
this project. which has received SO many
authoritative endorsements. As the case
now stands Congress is practically pledged
to grant the necessary appropriations,
which need cover only part of the total
cost of the project inasmuch as large bal
ances from former appropriations are now
awaiting disposition in the Treasury. The
proposition that the water supply system
needs these adjuncts is verified by practic-
ally every official report made upon the
subject of late years. Certainly the Wash
ington of the future will demand them i'm
peratiyely. and the time to complete them
economically is the present, before the
work already done is injured by further
lapse of time. No longer is there doubt as
to the engineering possibility of the pro-
ject, which has approval from this stand
point from a sufficient array of competent
authorities. Congress is practically salts

proceeding, and further delays are not 10
