CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles
and suffering so painful TO many that
life is made miserable. The womb like
the bladder was created for one purpose,
and il left alone it is not liable to become
diseased, except in rare cases When i'm
position the womb is situated back Of
and very close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or incon-
venienco manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often by
mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble Of some sort. The error
is easily emadc and may be rs easily
avoided by paying little attention to
the condition of the urine (sco pamphlet).

Another Story About the
Origin Of the Flag.
Russian Doctors Method of
Keeping off Burglars.
Skeletons Of Criminals Used as Ar

A correspondent of The News who read
the sketch of the history of the American
flag, printed short time ago, sends the
Gossipcr the followin q in relation to the
matter: Tho first resemblance 90 flag

Mcssrs. Harrison and Lynch. They were
chosen Us a committee 90 create a national
flag and adopted the kings colors ms a
union reunited with thirteen stripes alter
nate red and white showing that although
the colonies united for defense against
England's tyranny, they still acknowl-
edged her sovereignty. On Tuesday, Jan
nary 2, 1576 this flag was hoisted in camp
at Cambridge, Mass, now Somerville

thirteen cheers. The first American made

The way in which Russian physician,
who had retired from practice, guarded
his household from burglars is interest
ing, but will hardly be adopted in this
town even though the entcrprising bur
glar continues to burgle without inter-
ference by the police. The doctor in ques-
tion, besides being a miser, was afflicted
with an overpowering dread of robbery.
He became morose and suspicious, and
his one servant, an aged cronel, said he
would have hanged himself were il not
that he could not bring himself to part
with the money necessary for the pur-
chase of rope. He had been the medical
attendant at a Jail and contrived TO pro-
cure the skeletons of number of malefac-
tors who had been executed and these
he disposed around his premises in a way
strike terror into the heart of the boldest
OF burglars. In the first place with his
own hands he blackened the walls of the
various rooms and passages, and having
thus prepared the background he next ar
ranged the lugubrious relics i'm q variety
of attitudes all more or less startling.
In the vestibule, for instance, he placed,
by way of cloak rack the skeleton of
woman who had cut the throats of her
children. In the middle of the adjoining
room stood the gigantic and minatory
osscous remains of grenadier who had
suffered the extreme penalty for murder.
In lieu Of a sideboard the dining room
contained grim-looking erection fash
ioncd out of human bones, plates and
dishes resting on the pelvis, and knives,
forks and spoons between the ribs, while
tho dome of a skull served as a sugar
basin, and "A child's ossiclcs as sugar
tongs. The appliancesSthu forbiddingly

Inc term INDIANS not taxed, Wnlcn
IS so frequently heard refers TO the In
dians in their tribal relations who are not
allowed TO vote because they are not
taxed, and are the wards of the govern
ment rather than citizens of the country.
The government considers them as its
proteges, whom it must protect. When
the tribal relations of theyIndians are dis
solved and their land is divided among
them, to be held by individuals rather
than by tribes, IL is almost certain that
provision will be made for them as citi-
zens and that, being landowners and tax
payers they will be entitled to- and will
receive, all the rights of full either ship.
That familiar Scotch song "Annie
Laurie" about which correspondent
who signs himself "Scotia" inquiries,
was written by William Douglass of
Tingland in praise of certain Annie
Laurie the daughter of Sir Robert Laurie,
the first Baronct of Marvellous. The al
lusions in the song fully identify it's gen.
uineness Of passion, but Annie Laurie
herself enjoys more fame than she de-
served, for, instead of repaying the author
with her heart and hand for his mental
cxertions in producing the song of the
English army, she married man named
Ferguson and forgot all about William
Douglass The music of the song was
composed by Lady John Scott, who in her
own time and country, was well known as
a musician and the composer of many
songs.

started from their Harlem fiat--father,
mother, two SONS and three daughters
carrying with them complete camp

Long Island City they rode 90 miles in
the train. Then they hired a farmers
wagon, which took them ~ miles far
ther into the interior Of the island. Tho
road ended here. So the Bascoms con-
tinued their journey over hills and
through swamps on foot till night came,
when they put up their tents, crept in
to them and slept. Next morning the
journey was continued. AT noon the

They camped on the hill till next
morning. At sunrise Bascom again
brought his glasses to bear on the

Just above the water. Look, wifei
Look, children There is our corner lot.
The pole is just in the middle of it."
There were screams of pleasure, and
each took turn at the glasses. Then
Bascom turned to his family and said,
in tone that quivered with emotion:
Il bought that suburban corner lot for
my little ones. l may never enjoy it,
but one day you may have your home
