NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Dreary winter and the beautiful
snow.
The old land marks are departing.
We have every reason to believe
there are some persons whose desire
it is to own the earth, and they usu-
ally get it, but it's after death. There
are others who think the world owes
them living, but they are too lazy to
hustle around to get it,
In visit through the country, at
present, there is nothing attractive,
except beautiful herds of stock, here
and there, which always catches the
eye of the careful observer. How
desolate mother earth appears robbed
OF its lovely green vendure, and the
forests stripped of its foliage. while
the much. admired song birds have
long ago departed to a more congenial
cline. How mournful to listen to
the roaring wind wh;stling sad re-
QUEENS through the lonely branches
of deserted trees, and were it not for
the thoughts OF the return of summer
with all its surrounding beauty, how
lonely, wretched and miserable we
all would be; but hope looks forward
with ardent joy to the future always,
to be more prosperous and better in
every particular than the past.
The Herald has led OH, or opened
up an avenue for discussion relative
to the building Of high school build
ing in our Queen City OF this beauti
full valley This is subject we are
anxious to see commented upon 1t
is important to all lovers OF education
When the present high school build
ing was erected we all felt exalted
over it notwithstanding it and its
surroundings cost too much money,
and the location not where it should
be--central. A central location is
what it should have had, but at that
period our public schools In this land
of the free and home OF the brave,
were in their infancy. Not many of
our citizens spent thought of the
future of the, then, small town of
few thousand, spreading her golden
wings over such vast amount of
territory and the end thereof is not
yet. 1t continues until it has be-
come city composed of many public
enterprises and interests: buildings,
public and private, are being enlarged
where an opportunity is afforded.
The public schools must move on also;
facilities and talent must increase as
we'll as the buildings. To further the
interest of education, Martinsburg'
public schools must be second to none
in the State. This can be accom-
plished with proper care and atten-
ton. First, give Us good, substan-
tial buildings. There should be one
in each ward, Then find a good To-
cation as near central as convenient
and erect good building Of modern
design for high school pupils. Select
the best teachers obtainable, many of
whom are now in the service here,
and the road to success educationally
is sure. Again we would suggest
but upon reflection the Editor councils
and admires brevity-our quill ceases
to move. RALF.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctofed too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease OF inconveni
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon
realized. Ifyou need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a 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
treatment of other diseases.

To Esperance each days events
seemed to make it more and more
probable that Gaspard would be
Obliged to enlist. The evil seemed to
be creeping almost imperceptibly
nearer aud nearer home; yet when
in August preparations were made in
Paris for an expected siege, she was
hey ond measure shocked and sur
prised.
NJ de MabiTlon was sorely perplexed,
unable to make UP his mind to leave
Paris himself and yet anxious that
Esperance should be in safety Esper-
ance was not long in discovering the
cause Of his anxiety. II was impossible
for her father 10 hide anything from
her; but she was indignant at the
very idea Of being sent away.

To be for away from you without even

But I am afraid even II you stay
here, we shrl see little II each other"

really a call for service"
And Gaspard also9" taltered Is

Her tears fell fast and NJ. de Ma
billion, coresslng her again urged her
going away.
