HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let 1t stand twenty-four hours; a sediment oI settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it Is 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.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great k idDey remedy, fulfls every wish D relieving pain in the back, , kidneys, liver, bladder and every part|o the urinary passages. It corrects inabfl- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

THE QUICK HORSE.
AA O1tgrowth of Improved Americ
 Methods of Fire Fighting.

An O1tgrowth of Improved American
 Methods of Fire Fighting.
 In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Quick Horse" by F. s. Dellen- baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod ern fire department. MT. Dellenbaugh says: It is only within recent years that quick horses have been developed and appreciated and admired, and the poet has not yet attempted to sing the praises of this more prosaic but noble animal. Yet, after all, to one who carefully ex- amines the matter the quick horse ap- pears to have quite as good, if not a bet ter, claim upon our admiration and sympathy and encouragement. The swift horse wins the race, and in these days he may cause considerable money to change hands. in which there is cer- tainly nothing that is commendable. But the quick horse write about saves life. saves property and under modern conditions of life is essential to our safety and general we'll being. He is the result indirectly of poor building an outgrowth of our skillful American fire departments, which could not now exist without him.
 Not SO very many years ago when 8 ire broke out every body far and near began to run and especially began to yell, and the volunteer firemen of that time, being in the service for the excite ment of it, joined in the yell and start cd out the old hand engine from it's sol- emn repose, while the foreman running ahead shouted innumerable orders hoarsely through his trumpet. to the great delight of hundreds of small boys panting to keep up in the glorious race.
 The fire-that was altogether a seo- oudary matter. and when they all final lyigot there they went to work with more or less efficiency. There was 8 great deal of fun in the business, but fires were not extinguished. Our cities in the early days were not built to pre- vent fires, but seemed, if anything, ra- ther built to encourage them.
 In France we may we'll be amused as we watch the pompier corps trundle its bathtub on wheels to the scene of the oonfiagration and deliberately fill its apartments with water dipped up from the gutter, whence it is thrown by @ little pump upon the flames, because we know much of the architecture there is solid, and if the fire is not extinguished it will soon burn itself out But in our country a mere spark may in few sec- onds become a devouring furnace and destroy house after house and block aft CT block. Many buildings are tinder boxes, and our dry climate adds to their indammability, while the ever present careless or lazy workman by improper construction gives the fire it's first op. portuuity

BEAUTIFUL MAGIC LAKE.
The Present Which an Earthquake Mad
 to Tennessee.

The Present Which an Earthquake Made
 to Tennessee.
 Reelfoot lake, which lies mostly in Obion county and partly in Lake, is the largest sheet of water in Tennessee, it being 40 miles in length and from to 5 in width.
 This lake, which evokes rapturous comments from even the most indiffer- ent observer, was formed in few min- utes by an earthquake, which, accord ing to the best authorities, occurred be- tween 3 and 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, Nov. 16, 1811. There were two terrific shocks about 80 minutes apart and many lighter ones between and after. The earth rocked violently, . deafening noise like thunder struck terror to the ear, the atmosphere was heavily laden with something like smoke and vivid and almost constant flashes of lightning illuminated the sur rounding country, and in less time than 1t takes to write it thousands of acres of land had sunk far below the level of the mighty Mississippi.
 The Father of Waters rushed into the sunken country, and the suction was so great that for three hours the river ran up stream, and rafts and boats below the lake were torn from their moorings and went whirling into the seething, maddening vortex. As soon as the newly formed lake was filled the river went majestically on its usual course. leaving to Tennessee one of the finest fishing resorts in the country, which is annually the Mecca of thou sands of sportsmen.

Probably Just From Chicago.

The enviable reputation which Cleve- land holds in educational circles is en- larged. Many's the time and oft that our citizens have laughingly read of the peculiar answers which scholars have given in the schools of other cities, com placently assuring themselves that noth ing of that sort would happen in Cleve- land, but an incident which occurred in one of the high schools-we will not designate which one, as Principal Har- ris might feel unduly complimented- will serve to advise us that some Chi cago children must have been recently enrolled on our school list.
 It happened in the English class. The question was, "Who was Dante?''
 The scholar called upon arose and gave the startling information that "Dante was a Greek goddess.
 "What were some of Dante's works?'' asked the teacher.

ANCIENT WARFARE.
Now nm Engiish Castle was Attacked

Now am English Castle was Attacked In
 the Fifteenth Century.
 Sir John Fastolf had by his will de- vised his castle, callsd Caister. to John Paston. As a fortification,s 1t was an excellent defense against foreign invad- CTS, and as a residence it was worthy of royalty itself. In fact, the Duke of Gloster, afterward Richard LII, at one time contemplated making it his aboda While Paston was trying to establish his title in the courts the Duke of Nor folk purchased a pretended claim to it. and sought to gain possession by forceL The Pastons did not propose to yield, though the duke was then probably the most pow erful noble in England, and John Paston was his liveried servant Four professional soldiers were sent up from London to aid in the defense They are described as ''provyd men, coming in werr and can vel schote both gonnes and crossbowes and devyse bolwerkys and keep wacche and wardeL They be saddle and vel advysed. saving on of them, whyche is ballyd (bald) but yit he is no brawler Ye shall fynd them gentylmanly comfortable fellowes, and that they dare abyde by ther taklyng. !"
 Young John Paston, aided by these four and by handful of personal friends and followers. held the castle for several weeks against 8 siege conducted by the duke's army of 5000 men. By the terms of the final surrender the besieged were allowed their lives and goods horses and harness, and 8 respite for lb days. in which to go where they pleased They reported that they were forced to surrender by "lak of vitayl. gonepow- dyr. menys herts and surete of rescue. |" Edward " had refrained from interfer- ing in this extraordinary contest. be. cause the troubles with Warwick were gathering thickly about him, and the Mowbrays were too necessary to be safe- ty offended -Sawanaa Review.

POORLY REWARDED.

lanes H. Barry has been defeated
for Congress in San Francisco. Ina
evidently of itself causes him little re-
pret. for he is a mar who would rather
be whipped when in tina right than be
triumphant in the wrong. But there
is n factor in his defeat which should
bring a blush Of shame to the guilty
ingrates, and which probably does
hurt Barry's feeling>-the Catholics
swarmed to the polls to vote against
Barry.
Long before Peter c. Yorke opened
his lips in favor of civil and religious
liberty to the men and women OF his
creed, James H. Barry stood single
handed among the journalists OF San
Francisco, battlelng against the imam
Gus A. P. A. He stepped into the
arena alone to do battle with this OF
y~anization at the very zenith Of It's
power.
And he has received his re ward!
