good many people want to spend to keep
horse and vehicle, whatever kind it may
DO, Indeed in the cities 1t Is quito beyond
tho means Of most. In tho smaller towns
of the country it is more noarly possible,
for II horse may DO boarded at any country
livery stable for $40 month, and some
times oven less, If dono by the year. But
oven under such favorable circumstances
there arc many people who don't like to
own u horse and board him at a stable,
where lie may DO badly treated, or no may
get sick and die, or keep him at home,
where ho is liable to be worse treated than
in livery stable. That being tho case L

ing enough to mako tho effort to meet tho
wants of that kind of people, This man
went around among his acquaintances I'M
til ho found 20 who were willing to pay
him Sl0a month each for tho use of u horse,
just what they would pay for tho board OF
one If they owned it. But they did not want
livery horses; SO no agreed to give each
patron the Same horse always and not let
it 20 TO any other person
Then he began buying up secondhand
huggics and phactons and good scrviccablc
horses until he had 81, 800 invested in the
private livery plant. as no called it, He
had to hire only ono extra hand, and he
had room i'll plenty, so the additional cx-
pcnSe beyond feed was not much. Hc had
been running his plant II year when l saw
him, and he told mo that tho entire cx-
pcnso was $50 month, and that he rooli
i'll $3.50 cash every month, leaving him IL
net profit on his 50, 500 investment of ST.
900 year, and every mcmbcr of tho horsc
club was SO pleased that he was booked for
another year, and there were dozen up
plicants for membership.
"Of course he lost something by putting
some of his good customers into the club,
but he got them for the year that way, and
he was willing to lose ono So drive to pick
up 40 30 cent ones. Now concluded tho
drummer, THAT you have learned what Il

it TO your friends in the country and let
them try it once. Washington Star.

These things seem to he greatly in
creasing of late, aud without any appar
emit cause. We see more men who lack
vigor than ever before. we meet more
women who seem broken down than in
the past. Surely there must be cause
for all this-and there is.
These troubles can arise but from one
cause, namely: Dsordered kidneys or
urinary organs. Indeed, it is now admit.
ted that the region of the lower body is
the prime source OF most physical ills.
When the Kidneys become diseased the
blood becomes poisoned and all the trou-
bles such as sleeplessDess, lack of appe-
tite, nervelessness, restlessness, tired and
Respondent feelings follow in its wake.
The truth is, people are not we'll; but
they should be, and they can be if they
would only take the means Of recovery
that are near at hand. In writing upon
this subject, DR.. r. a. Gum, dean and
professor OF surgery of the United States
Medical College, New York, says:
"In large class of ailments where the
blood is In an unhealthy state-where
there is no evidence nf organic mischief
but where the general health Is depleted,
the face sallow, the urine colored, con-
stituting the "bilious" condition-the
advantage gained from the use of War
ner's Safe Cure Is remarkable. find also
that in Bright's disease it seems to act
as solvent of albumen; to soothe and
heal inflamed membranes, and wash out
epithelial debris which block up the urine
bearing tubes"
1t is undoubtedly true that Americans,
as people, are in a more or less serious
condition, and that there are complaints
which have become national diseases.
But ii ia also true that modern science
has provided an adequate remedy which
is able to fully control it and supplant
sickness and misery by health and happi-
nesa.

SKIRTS AND SLEEVES.
The latest styles For Out or Door and
Visiting Attire.

The newest skirts are soft and pliablc,
close around the top, except at the extreme
back, where the fullness is retained by n
fan plait or by narrow cluster of gathers.
No stiffcning at all is used in the latest
models, tho foot of the skirt being allowed
to fall in the graceful folds caused by the
flaring cut of the buck. Simplicity of line
is tho ruling characteristic.
1t is tho same with sleeves, the bouffancy
mt the top having almost disappeared, be-
ing replaced by u small puff or by cap or
epaulet of some sort, not large The sleeve
itself is tight and long, opening at the side
of tho wrist to allow tho passage Of the
hand.

wrap. 1t consists of n cape coming down
to tho waist, with long, stole ends in front
hanging nearly to the foot OF tho skirt.

ance. These cases are, however. in our
opinion, few; indeed, our belief in their
existence may be due to the nursery
teachings of our early childhood, since.
IL the truth may be spoken in a medi-
cal experience extending over thirty
flVe years, we have never seen cole,
collapse ora any other acute symptom or
condition produced by a cold drink.
But Tor fear that the nursery boyle is
the shadow of truth, we should advise
our readers when hot to drink cold wa
Ter slowly. We remember once, when
tWo-thlrds dead of thirst in the Texan
desert, with what joy we raised to our
lips quart mug of water and drank it

COLD WATER DRINKING.
Doubtful Nursery Legend That Cold Drinks
Are Injurious.

The American drinks water because
he is thirsty: he is thirsty because he
sWcatS; and he wants his water cold
because he is hot, the cooling of the
system being demanded but the cool
temperature being especially grateful
to a heated throat. What is the poor
American To do? He is threatened with
mummification if he does not drink
water: he is appalled, by the horrors of
gastric catarrh if he does drink water.
The answer is obvious-drink water be-
tween meals rather than at meals. The
drier the meal the less they dilute the
gastric juice the better theoretically
at least is the digestion. Fortunately,
the ordinary human being is made with
a reserve force, and SO, if he be in the
ordinary condition, he need not study
the number of drops he takes at his
meal. but if he have any disease of the
stomach or feebleness of digestion 1t is
well worth while to count the drops.
Cold water has 50 good taste when
a man is very heated that most people
viii continue to take cold water, and a
general chilling of the body would seem
sometimes to be of service. Neverthe-
less there proba bly, are cases in which
the sudden pouring of large masses of
cold wafer anon a stomach in person
who has little reserve power has pro-
duced an immediate violent disturb
