Helpless as to Bread.

Captain Bliss was like all seamen, a strict disciplinarian, and his crew re- spected him beyond measure. Not one of them would have dreamed of inter preting 8 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 ill a cer- tain port, the captain gave dinner to 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 such work each one was told exactly what service would fall to his share.
 The hour came, and the dinner went merrily on. Presently, however, one o1 the ladies wanted 8 piece of bread. There was none very near her, and the finely disciplined stewards seemed to bt quite oblivious to her need. She turned her head and spoke very softly to tho man at her elbow.
 "Bread. please,'' she said.
 He looked regretfully at the bread and then at her. It was evident that ht would fain have helped her if it hae been in his power He saluted in flint naval style.
 Cant do it, ma 'am, said he. "I'n told of for taters. London Tele graph.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; @ sediment o1 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 idney remedy. fuIils every wish D relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- 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 its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have sample bot tie and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention The Press and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghampton, N. |.

Duty.

To do the duty nearest, simple and natural as it may seem, is really the most difficult thing in life. To see it even is difficult. do not know what it is in man that always makes him enam- ored of the distant thing. It is always tomorrow and tomorrow. Today we will dream and plan and postpone; to- morrow we will act, and so life gets to be snarl of neglected yesterdays, de- ceiving show of promised tomorrows, nothing really accomplished.- F. W.

 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 SC much of this kind of talk that the clear eyed listener sickens in the hearing. Whil- 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 hel ''beau," and the little girl fiu-hes with self consciousness or with anger, the irreparing wrong has been done. She will never again regard Jack as the jolly boy who was great 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 womer love and and are given in marriage, but tht grown-up'' period seems very far off tt them, and those who love them should keep them children as long as possible They can be children but once.-Harper' Rnznr

How to Prevent Dreams.

'After series of experiments on my. self and others,' ventured an experi- enced physician to a reporter, 'I am convinced that many annoying dreams. which in many instances rob sleep of much of its recreation and benefit, can be prevented if persons will take the trouble to do so. There are dreams which are produced by an 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 filled stomach is, however, less conducive to dreams than an absolutely empty one. l think l can safely say that if those persons who are troubled much by dreaming will wear extra long sleeves to their nightgowns they will find remedy thereby. What is even better than long sleeves is to put B 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 still tight enough to keep the ends of the sleeves we'll down on the wrists.
 "To the bachelors and others who can- not have their sleeves properly arranged the same effect can be secured by wear ing wristlet on the wrist, or, better yet, to pull sock over the hands and pin the leg of it to the sleeves of the lightgown. 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 stop 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 Star.
