CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested 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 made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
sediment OF settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro.
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.

swallowed down at draft. The drive
was then continued. The special CORE

Two Steps at q Time.

One evidence of the ever hustling char
acteristics of the average New Yorker is
shown ON the stairways of the up town
station of the elevated railroad at Park
place and Church street. The steps of
these stairways are covered with rub
Der, but every other step has large iron
rings imbedded in the rubber.
This was caused by the fact that the
New Yorker is never content to wait
even ono minute for train, and that
when he hears one approaching as he is
at the foot of the stairs he will rush up
the stairs two steps at time hoping to
catch the train.
AS result the elevated railroad Off
Gals noticed that the rubber mating on
every other step was wearing out twice
as quickly as the rest. For a long time
they pondered as to the cause, and one
day Manager Fransioli solved the prob
lem. To know was to act in his case,
and the steel REINFORCED rubber now
lasts if anything longer than the Or
binary mats on the other steps.-New

Crossing the Flemish borders, Alva
laid siege to all the chief towns and
every triumph he gained was sullied by
the most vindictive cruelty. In capitu-
lating the garrisons were shown no mer-
cy, and "every atrocity which greed of
rapine, wantonness Of lust and blood
thirsty love of slaughter could devise
was perpetrated by his express direc-
ton" In spite of these horrors the war
of liberation among the Dutch went on,
and the beacon fires of freedom were
everywhere lighted.
Unfortunately ut the time Queen Eliz-
abeth of England had re-established
friendly relations with Spain, and the
trading merchants and hardy mariners
of the Netherlands We're excluded from
the kingdom. These ''beggars of the
sea-" as they styled themselves, driven
back by necessity upon their own coun-
try, sought to establish base for their
patriotic operations and fell upon the
Spanish garrisons in the Dutch seaports
of Brill and Flushing, and, expelling
them, raised the banner of their Orange
deliverer.

The Mouiik.

The Russian calendar is full of saints
days and of holidays of every kind, and
ivan would sooner see his hay or his
oats rot upon the ground than do q
stroke of work upon any day which Of
fers the smallest canonical excuse for
remaining idle. Then there is r"the
drink" This is the darling vice Of the
country and the real cause of the pow
erty of the peasant classes and of half
the misery that exists throughout the
land. -......
Ih< delds remain half cultivated be-
cause ivan cannot spare the time to go
out towork, and his really exemplary
wife cannot do it all, though she does
her best, because Of the small children
at home. AS for Ivan himself, he is in
the kabak, Or drinking shop, and cannot
be expected to tear himself away for
any very prolonged period, for all his
friends are there, and why should he be
the exception?
If any money comes in by the sale
of hay, or oats, Or milk, or anything
else, the monopolist who keeps the vii
lage drinking shop knows we'll enough
what becomes of it; so perhaps does
Ivan, but it is quite certain that poor,
patient, Woodworking Masha, his wife,
and the small children see nothing Of it.
They have their lump of black bread
for dinner, and perhaps particle Of the
same is left over for supper, and that ia
good enough for them. Ivan lives on
vodka chiefly and leaves most Of the rye
bread for his family, but occasionally
he INDUCES in a wooden bowlful of
schee, which is kind of cabbage soup,
or toys with a trifie of sailed herring.
He is no great eater. chambers Jour
