OF all diseases, Bright's Disease OF
the Kidneys is the most dangerous, on ac-
count of its subtle and insidious nature.
Usually it is firmly fixed before its
presence is ever suspected by its victim
For this reason it is important that the
treatment be commenced on the APP
pearance Of the first symptoms. Even
then it requires careful treatment to stay
its progress. Pains in the back, irregu-
larities in the urine, swelling of the limbs
or abdomen, should be the subject OF in
slant investigation and the proper
remedy applied. DR.. J. H. Mclean S

HOW THE DERVISHES FIGHT.

Their Wonderful Nalor, Magnificent
Bravery and Amazing Goodness.
The dervishes have lost nothing of
their valor, says the London Times.
They heed death as little as ever. l saw
them stand undismayed in the open
and fight with logged determination in
the face of our volley fire. They fought
on with rifle and spear and knife when
charged by the cavalry. Each wounded
dervish, as he lay bleeding TO death on
the ground, was a dangerous and
treacherous foe until he had breathed
his last. They even did what some au-
thorities have denied that any troops,
however brave, would do--they stood
in groups firing steadily into our ranks
while our maxim guns poured their
streams of bullets on them and moved
them down like grass.
l doubt whether any other men in the
world would nave stood, AS these men
stood, for nearly two hours, against
such fearful odds as were opposed 20
them. But, if one may judge from this
fight, the dervishes have changed their
old tactics. They have TO a great ex-
tent abandoned the reckless rush Of
spearsmen which used to distinguish
Soduanese warfare and rely more on
rife fire, in which their practice has
considerably improved If trained and
disciplined-but it is very doubtful
whether that savage beast Of prey the
Baggara ever could be tamed-these
men would make magnificent infantry.
They display now as much magnificent
GOODNESS when acting on the defensive
as they did in their furious charges of
former campaigns.

Significant Picture Representing an Old Fash.
toned New England Store.

lOUSI TNSW EHslduu
The Alma Sanitarium Co. are in re-
ceipt of a New Years souvenir from
Chase q Sanborn, the mammoth coffee
concern Of Boston, in the form of pict-
ure representing common scene in a
New England grocery store in the early
days Of America.
The picture is good reproduction of
the famous painting by Abbott Graves.
Besides the grocer, who is busy at the
scales, it contains the customary New
England group around the stove. There
are the judge, who has an established
reputation for wisdom, and beside him
the great oracle of the town, who talks
on every subject On the opposite side
Of the stove is the great objector,
who sees the dark side Of everything
and always says, Il told you So" But
the mild, modest member Of the party is
not to be left out He agrees with every
thing that is said and sees no cause for
differing with anyone. The group is
completed by the dog, which seems to
enjoy the warmth and rest as much as
any of the others.
"Such is the surface picture, but it has
a deeper meaning. The grocer Of New
England opened his doors not only to
customers, but to ideas as well. In tho. e
times the newspaper was not frequent
visitor, and the grocery store by spread
ing news from far and near served as a
valuable substitute"

Rev. DR.. John Watson, Ian Mac

story, as the readers of his books know

took, says the Troy Times. Sitting
near him in the carriage were an elder
ly gentleman and a good, worthy man
who believed be had the care of every
human soul in his keeping. The worthy

BIG ORDER FOR BEER.
Japanese Merchants Surprised by the

King OF Corea.
japanese merchants Of Chemulpo, IN

says the San Francisco Chronicle. The

order Of beer and they put their heads
together, wondering whether il was
the court or the body guard Of the king
which had suddenly developed such
n gigantic thirst A cable was imme-
diately dispatched TO Japan and the
beer ordered to be shipped at once. so
that il might be delivered 20 the royal
master of the house in due time. The
beer arrived promptly, and at the same
time the explanation Of the conundrun
was given TO the japanese, for almost
on the same day Russian man-of-war
arrived there and the entire crew was
invited 20 be guests Of the king OF
Corea, who thus showed his gratitude
20 the Russians for the shelter accord
ed him at the Russian embassy during
the recent revolutionary disturbances.
The 300 marines on board were very
ogreeably surprised when his royal
highneAs sent 10000 bottles of good
Japanese beer on board-that is, 100
bottles per man-enough liquor to
thoroughly celebrate the Russo-CoreaD
