HAVE NO EQUAL.
Doan's Backache Kidney pills.

When remedy has no equal il is
up to date, and little in advance OF
all other remedies for a specified COM
plant. Medical theory OF old times
held that a medicine containing a lit
tie OF each kind for every i'll should
! make remedy for all complaints. We
laugh at such foolishness today and
wonder 1t was ever thought wisdom
The maxim today is learn what the
disease Is and apply the remedy which
has proven the most direct and radi-
cal. Specialties rule the day, and a
single organ, its disorders. and how
TO cure them is the highest distinction
in the medical profession. The kidneys
are wonderfully constructed. Do you
know just what their functions are?
They are the laboratories of the body
for the renovating of the blood be
fore its use again. Read that care
fully. Every pulsation of the heart
sends out the blood to give life to the
body. When it picks up the poisons in
its course it goes to the kidneys to be
made new for use again. If the kid
neys are weak they can not do the
work, and uric poison stamps out the
life of the blood. Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills correct all disorders of
the kidneys and keep these labOra-
tories true purifiers of the blood. HO-
nolulu people are fast learning this.

THE LASH AND THE PTLLORY.

Delaware is a little behindhand IN sothe
of her methods of punishment TOT
criminals. or possibly 1t may be that she
is up TO date in the modern craze Tor
ANTIQUES. AT any rate she still uses the
pillory as means of subduing her male
factors. During the snow-storm last
week two men stood In a pillory in the
iail-yard at Newcastle, and for sixty
minutes were exposed to the biting ele-
ments. The temperature at the time was
uncomfortably low and the men appeared
TO suffer no little. From an editorial IN
the Baltimore Herald, we are led to be-
lieve that even the jail officials though'
the punishment was too severe. Iney
threw blankets over the forms of the
nanacled law-breakers end humanely
encased their shackled hands in gloves
Despite these acts of kindness, however,
the malefactors were nearly stiff with
cold when released. To add TO he dis
comfort OF one Of the prisoners, he
received thirty lashes on his bare back,
administered by a cat o. nine tails in the
hands of the Sheriff, and was then taken
back to jail for a ten-year term of i'm
prisonment.
The purpose of the Delaware law Is to
inflict actual physical suffering on those
reckless spirits who have lost their sense
of decency and become insensible to their
own DEGRADATION. Both the stocks and
the pillory are at present used in Della
ware and many New Jersey citizens are
now endeavoring TO have a revival OF the
ducking stool there.
The pillory practically saw its end at
the beginning of this century, though
Massachusetts the great ranter against
alleged wrongs to the negro race, appears
to have chung to it tenaciously. In Janu-
airy. 1901, a man named Hawkins stood
for an hour in pillory IN Salem, and had
his ears cropped
This grim, old instrument Of medieval
DAYS was used as a punishment for many
offences in England. In its day 1t held
many a good and famous man in its
grasp. We have even heard of one unfor-
tunate who suffered its embrace because
he delivered false dinner invitations. He
deserved what he got, as cid also prac-
teal Joker who suffered the same penalty
But the pilory is as much out OF place
to-day as candle shutters or spinnets, and
its employment will strike the ordinary
mind as a step backward.

The Young Mems Hebrew Association
Of Chicago, in preparing for a great char
ity bazaar, now in progress in the Windy
City. hit upon a most happy idea, which
will produce splendid financial results.
All the celebrated beauties and singers of
the stage were asked to send doll, and
the magnificent results of the message to
these adorable favorites has been some
thing incompatible.
Now. il there is any one thing Of all
others which women love to do, it is to
dress a doll, and the footlght celebrities
have proved that they are not exceptions
10 the rule. The bazaar will be literally
flooded with dolls of the handsomest sort,
and dressed in the finest Of clothes. In
deed. Some of the actresses must have
spent great sums in complying with the
request of the association. In nearly
every case the puppets are arrayed in
costumes representing the givers, and so
they are doubly interesting. Viola Allen,
who is starring in Hall Gaines "Chris-
tan" sent a doll represeting Gloria
Ouay,e. while Beatrice Mansfield con-
tributed one representing Cyrano de
Bergerac. Pauline Hall gave "The Chi
cago Girl of 1S9S"-a beautiful creation OF
wax and sawdust, which wears real
tailor-made suit of gray broadcloth. lined
with cerise silk, and hat to match.
To read the letters which accompanied
these pretty china and waXen babies is
To see the actresses at their sweetest, and
10 recognize in them the most lovable
traits of womanhood. Jessie Bartlett
Davis. in her little note accompanying q

Serenade.' hope you will get a good
sum for her; she cost me over $50; only
tell you so that you won't lose on her"
1t is needless to say that the dolls VIII
bring immense figures. The thirty-eight
