FANNY MYRTLE CALvERT-Infant
daughter of Charley and Lizzie Cal
vert, was born December 3rd, 1897,
and died September 23rd, 1893, aged
8 mos. and 20 days.
Dear little Fanny, short has been
thy stay with US, but we feel thy
mission has not been in vain. AL
though absent from our home, we
feel that thou will ever live in our
hearts. So we say, "The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away" and
blessed be the name of the Lord, but
Lord, why hast thou SO soon removed
from our home one we love so dear
ly. But. nevertheless not our will be
done, SO believeing what the Saviour
said while en- earth, "Suffer little
children to come unto me forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
of Heaven"
Little Fanny is in heaven with her
little brother Wayne, who died four
years ago in infancy; they are now
two bright and shiuing angels, await
ing just-a little while for father and
mother to meet them again. 1t is
hard to give our little one up but we
know she cannot come back to us,
but we can prepare to meet our little
babes in heaven.
Fanny had been sufferer for over
five weeks when her little spirit took
its flight about noon last Friday.
She was bright child, one that
everybody loved, it will be but a
short time till we meet her again.
She leaves, father, mother, one little
sister and brother and host of rela-
tives and friends to mourn her early
departure; the funeral services were
held at the u. b. Church on Sunday,

SLOWER, BUT SURER.

1t was not, some sixty or seventy
years ago, so easy matter as it has
become in our day to become citizen
of the United States, if one had the
misfortune not to have been born to
that privilege. Naturalization was a
formal, serious, not to say ceremonial
affair. A resident of q little Massa-
chusetts town, Jasper Towne by name,
by birl an Englishman, and by occu-
patton the hired man of prominent
native farmer, after IA years residence
in this country, had decided, just be-
fore the opening of Queen Victoria's
reign, that he wished to renounce alle-
glance TO King William w., and be-
become hull-fedged American citi-
zen, eligible to every Office except that
of president.
Long beforehand he sent notice OF
his desire to the proper authorities OF
the capital city of his state. Then he
proceeded to Boston, accompanied by
his employer and several friends, and
there appeared before the Federal
court.
"The scene," witness records, "was
peculiarly solemn and impressive.
The candidate for the franchise was
strictly questioned by the presiding

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.

This is often classed among the
"diseases of modern life," and prob
ably it really is of more common
occurrence now than it was in the
early years of our century, when
railways and steamships and tele-
graphs were not, for it is the rush
and the worry of life, which these
things typify and aid, that predis-
pose powerfully to the disease.
The term Bright's disease is loosely
applied to any chronic, or even acute,
disease of the kidneys, but we usually
mean, when speaking of it, very
slow hardening and shrinkage of the
kidneys, whereby these organs are
rendered incapable of performing their
important function.
The kidneys are two in number, and
lie one on each side of the spinal COL
umn extending from about the level of
the last rib downward for four or five
inches. Their Office is to separate
some Of the waste materials from the
blood, and to provide for their removal
from the body dissolved in water.
The substances 80 got rid of are, many
of them, exceedingly poisonous, and it
is to their retention in the system that
most of the the danger of kidney dis
ease is due.
The symptoms of Bright's disease
in its early stages are very slight, and
such as they are, are often mistaken
for the signs of simple indigestion
but much more frequently symptoms
of indigestion, slight rheumatic pains
in the loins and other minor ills are
regarded by nervous people as indica'
tive of kidney diseases. Almost every
body suffers at times from more or
less backache, headache, dizziness, in
digestion, perhaps blurring of the
ewes, and even little swelling of the
feet toward evening, but very few such
persons have any trouble with the
kidneys.
A man who suffers persistently from
these symptoms would be wise to con-
suit physician but he would be very
foolish to make his own diagnosis from
such insufficient data, and then worry
himse into an illness. Even a ply
sician cannot make positive diagno.
sis of Bright's disease without thor
ough chemical and microscopical ex-
animation.
The treatment of Bright's disease
belongs entirely to the physician. The
malady is serious one, and any at

States, were administered to him by
the clerk. This was done to fix it in
his mind that it was a very serious
business indeed in which he had just
been: engaged.
"Thereupon the judge addressed
him in language of congratulation and
counsel. The newly-made fellow
countryman respectfully departed from
the tribunal, conscious that he had
attained no mean privilege and had
secured safeguard like that by which
the Apostle to the Gentiles stayed the
hands of his prosecutors and caused
them to tremble at the thought of
misuse or degradation inflicted upon a
Roman citizen"
Does the minute care, the old-fash-
ioned dignity of this civic ceremonial
seem too elaborate and long-drawn for
our era of haste and rapidly-succeed-
ing patches of hundreds of aspiring
immigrants-voters within an hour ?
Times certainly have changed. But
men who expended time and trouble,
and submitted their characters to pub
lie investigation to acquire their citi-
zenship, were likely to make good use
of it when at length it became theirs

LAWSUIT PENDING As Years.

LAWSUIT PENDING As YEARs.-A
special from Grafton, w. Va, says:
There is in the circuit court of this
county a case, sent back by the last
term of the state supreme court for
retrial, which rivals Dickens's celebra-
ted case of Jarndyce vs.. Jarndyce.
When the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
was built through this country, over

did some of the grading. The settle
ment of the contract led to the grader
suing the Baltimore and Ohio in the
courts of what was then Virginia.
Since then the case has been four
times in the supreme court, having
been sent back last week.
Vanderwerker is still living but he
is not prosecuting the case now, hav-
ing assigned his case to one Nye.
Vanderwerker is an old man and has
been kept poor paying attorneys fees.
The first judges who tried the case
are long since dead, as are also the
supreme judges who first heard it.
The full amount of the claim now,
with interest, is less than $4,000.

He was glad to have had the opportu-

to him the changes in his life which his

to 20 to her house when in town and
had been amused more than anything
else to watch her develop o habit of
monopolizing him He had been quite
keen enough to read her and quick
enough to avoid anything like COM

effort at direct Irritation as in the case

This, says "Godey's," was the reply
"Women are endowed with strange

men it is different; they will inspect
their collars and cuffs after q days

do, not recognizing the fact that if any
doubt exists on the matter they should
be consigned to the laundry without
demur.

cerned as to the state of his shoes than

She is 26 years of age, and all
through her life has never experienced
the sense of touch. She is utterly
devoid of physical feeling, and, more
over, is proof against disease. She
can thrust pins into her body, and all
she feels is a slight jar. Needles
thrust under her nails, redhot iron
applied to her skin, cash of knife,
all mean nothing to this woman. She
feels nothing, and in an hour or two
the wound is healed.
She has also control over the circu-
lation of her blood. A cash can be
made where there is no way for sur
geon to stop the flow of blood. Miss
Tardo, however, can stop it in Sec
ond, and then permit it to flow again.
This power over the circulation of her
blood is looked upon by physicians as
being more wonderful than her ability
to stand all kinds ofexperiments which
physicians have submitted her to.
Miss Tardo is proof against poison.
She has been bitten by the most veno-
nous snakes, whose bites have caused
no apparent ill effects. She will take
these creatures up in her arms and
force them to bite her, irritating and
pinching them until they do 80. Such
deadly cultures as cholera germs,
diphtheria, consumption, and typhoid
fever have been injected into her blood,
but she has no fear of contagion, for
she was not troubled in the least.
She has also been shot in various fleshy
parts of her body, but the wound has
always healed, and she has suffered no
damage.
1t has been declared, however, that
there are three ways that would end
this mysterious woman's life. The
penetration of the ganglionic centres,
just above the heart, would result in
instant death. Scientists believe that
direct injury to the brain or spinal
cord would also destroy her life.
She was born on the island of Trini-
dad, in the West Indies, and comes
from mixed ancestry. She cannot re-
member having the sense of feeling.
When she was 5 years of age, she was
bitten by cobra. Her parents thought
she was bound to die, and were amazed
when she went about as usual, feeling
no inconvenience whatever from the
effects of the bite. She is veritable
wonder to the physicians of both hem
ispheres.
