A FRIEND IN NEED.
When in Doubt, a Friends Advice
 Is Always Appreciated.

Many times ill the journey of life we find ourselves in doubt, and 't,s then we appreciate most the advice e a friend or an acquaintance who has | aveled through the darkness into which We are just about to plunge. Showing the way is an act of friendship. Faith can be placed in the experiences and opinions of the gentleman who shows the way in the following statement. He can be depended uoon to corroborate 1t in 'eply to any communication sent to him. It is only re-echo of the testimony of thousands of his fellow citizens. pub lished in the daily newspapers through out the land.
 The Rev. Geo. A. Wilkins, oi West Lebanon, N. H., says: From exposure and over-work while in my last clerical charge, 1 experienced considerable trouble with an affection of the kidneys. 1 naturally tried ordinary household remedies at first, and receiving little ii any benefit, followed it up with other preparations, said to be kidney cures. A notice about Doan's Kidney Pills caught my eye while reading paper one evening. It struck me if they per- formed half what they promised, they might bring me relief. I took a course of the treatment, and obtained good results. l am pleased to endorse Dosn's Kidney Pills as preparation up to the representations made for them"

or pigeons, ana being very thirsty talnv to stream struggling from a rock, and, releasing the falcon from his wrist. be took the bugle which he carried, and, stopping the mouthpiece of his bugle with tuft of moss. he put this extemporized cup under the water which came down drop by drop from the rock until the cup was full, and then
 lifted it to drink, when the falcon he had released with sudden swoop dashed the cup from his hand By the same process he filled the cup again and was about to drink when the falcon by an- other swoop dashed down the cup. En- ragged at this insolence and violence of the bird, he cried, "I will wiring thy neck if thou doest that again" But, having filled the cup third time and trying to drink third time, the falcon dashed it down. Then Sir Brasil with his fist struck the bird, which f1uttered and looked lovingly and responsibility at him and dropped dead. Then Sir Brasil, looking up to the top of the rock whence dripped the water, saw great green serpent coiled fold above fold, the venom from his mouth dropping into that from which Sir Brasil had filled his cup Then exclaimed the knight, What kind thing it was for the fal con to dash down that poisoned cup, and what a sad thing that killed him, and what a narrow escape l hadP' So now there are no more certainly waters that refresh than waters that poison. This moment there are thousands of young men, unwittingly and not know
 ing what they do, taking into their bugle cup of earthly joy that which is deadly because it drips from the jaws of that old serpent, the devil. and the dove of Gods spirit in kindly warning dashes down the cup, but again it is filled and again dashed down and again filled and again dashed down.

Helpless as to Bread.

Captain Bliss was like all seamen, @
strict disciplinarian, and his crew re-
spected him beyond measure. Not one
of them would have dreamed of inter.
preting command otherwise than ac
cording to the strict letter of the law.
Things must be done shipshape under
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in a GER
tain port, the captain gave a dinner tC
some town acquaintances, and as the
resources of the ship were not great
some of the sailors were deputed to wait
on the table to re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards.
AS these men were not used to sucl
work each one was told exactly wha
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner wen
merrily on. Presently, however, one o
the ladies wanted a piece of bread
There was none very near her, and thu
finely disciplined stewards seemed to b.
quite oblivious to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to thu
man at her elbow.
Bread, please, she said
He looked regretfully at the breaC
and then at her. 1t was evident that h
would fain have helped her if it hat

I often wonder if mothers of little daugh-
ters appreciate what they are doing when
they jest with them about their "little
sweethearts" and 'beaux," There is so
much of this kind of talk that the clear
eyed listener sickens in the hearing. While
boys and girls are young they should be
comrades, playmates, friends, but the pos
sibility of a tenderer relation existing
should never for minute enter the heads
of the innocent children. When Maude's
speaks of twelve years-old Jack as her
''beau," and the little girl f1uahes with self
consciousness or with anger, the preparing
wrong has been done. She will never
again regard Jack as the jolly boy who was
tgreat fun" The bloom has already be-
gun to come off the peach. The longer boys
and girls are kept in ignorance of the fact
that they can be anything but dear friends,
the happier they will be. They cannot
help knowing that grown men and women
love and and are given in marriage, but the
grown-up" period seems very far off to
them, and those who love them should
keep them children as long as possible
They can be children but once.-HGrpe1''s IS

BOY 60 Prevent preama.

"After series of experiments on my.
self and others, ventured an expert
enced physician to reporter, "I am
convinced that many annoying dreams,
which in many instances rob sleep Of
much of it's recreation and benefit, can
be prevented if persons will take the
trouble to do so. There are dreams
which are produced by all overloaded
stomach and indigestion. These can be
prevented by not overlooking the
stomach and taking care, especially in
the evening, not to eat that which ex-
perience has demonstrated is not easily
digested. A fairly filed stomach is,
however, less conducive to dreams than
an absolutely empty one. / think l can
safely say that if those persons who are
troubled much by dreaming will wear
extra long sleeves to their nightgowna
they will find remedy thereby. What
is even better than long sleeves is to put
a rubber cord in the hem of the sleeves,
so that they will not slip up on the arm.
The rubber cord should not be tight
enough to interfere any way with the
circulation of the blood in the arms, but
b6411 blBn6 euOuBu 10 keep Inc SuuS OF
the sleeves we'll down on the wrists.
"To the bachelors and others who cam
not have their sleeves properly arranged
the same effect can be secured by wear
ing wristlet on the wrist, or, better
yet, to pull a sock over the hands and
pin the leg of it to the sleeves of the
Eightgown. In addition to preventing
dreams this simple arrangement will be
found extremely comfortable during the
cold nights of the next couple of months.
A little inquiry will convince any one
that those whose wrists and forearms
are uncovered are annoyed most by
dreams. The sock used as kind of an
extended glove will effectually stoI
them, but it must be attached to the
sleeve of the nightgown; otherwise the
sleeve will work up the arm and the
desired effect be lost. My remedy, in
brief, is to keep the hand, wrist and
forearm we'll covered. - Washington
