THE MIDDLE-AGED A
He Recalls in Reminiscent Way the
Picturesque House EIluR2ina-
tons OF Fifty Years ago.

lighting Of every description" saS5
The middle-aged man in the New
York Sun, is brighter, more bril-
liant and more striking now than
ever before; but there was in
vogue, say so years ago, a method Of
illumination for purposes Of celebra-
ton that it seems to me was more pic
turesque than any one of the methods
that have supplanted it. Irefer to the
illumination Of houses by placing
candles in the windows.
windows in those days were not
made as they are commonly nowadays,
with one or two lights, but they were
made with six or nine lights Of glass to
a sash, so a window had usually II or IS
panes Of glass. Candles were placed at
the windows, one at each pane, in hold
ers specially made for the use, a little
triangular piece of tin with a short
socket soldered upon it. This holder
was held in place simply by crowding
the sharp orner OF it into the sash be-
low the glass. The candles were not
lighted until the approach Of the pro-
cession.
"a house front'with a light twinkling
at every pane Of every window was a
picturesque sight indeed, and a whole
street of houses thus Illuminated made
q fairy SPECTACLE"

How TO Find Out.

Fill a bottle or cOmmO glass with your
water and let it stand twenty four hours /;
a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthyacondition of the kidneys; if it
stains your linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass it 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'stSWamp-
Root, the great Kidney remedy, fulflls
every wish in curing rheumatism, pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. It
cOrrects inability to hold water and scald-
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomesEthat unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to 90 often during the
day, and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have the
best. At druggists, fifty cents Or one dol
lar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book hat tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you seDd your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

mention that you read this generous offer

A MAN
LOST.

LOST No man understands the full
meaning of that word ike the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: 81 was
IN the woods going ahead steadily when
1 realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry OF 'LOst!' I broke into a run heed
less or ignorant Of the direction I was
going"
The first impulse of a mar lost in the
woods is to rum. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes a business IMAM gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the office. He has for
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
hcult, his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are a lost man."
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is h~oney-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.
Disease in almost any form is gen
orally accompanied by the failure of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Re-
establish these organs i'll Healthy action,
the blood is at once enriched, the body
nourished and the general health re-
stored. This result is invariably &C.
co1nplished by DIR. Pierce's Go1de- Med
ical Discovery. 1t is a stonach-su ngth-
ening, nerve-nourishing, muscle-making,
blood-purifying medicine. 1t has cured
thousands who thought their health
entirely lost. The Discovery" is not
a stimulant and contains no alcohol CT
whisky. Sold at all medicine stores.

PATRIOTISM.
Mrs DudIe1 Makes 81 Little Mistake in
Hosting the Stars Snd
Stripes.

Dudler is intensely patriotic, His
frineds have been aware of this for
some time, so when he purchased a
his house, they were not surprised, says
the Detroit Free Press.
It was dark before Dudler succeeded
in getting everything ready and the
flag hoisted, and, with the remark that
there would be a surprise in the neigh
borhood when the morning dawned, he
went inside.
But it was Dudler who was surprised
on the following morning. When he
stepped out upon his porch he found
tina every window in the neighborhood
had an angry occupant. Even the old
maid who lived next door had drawn
her lace curtains aside, and when Dud-
Ter appeared shook her fist at him.
"I1l move out of this neighborhood
as soon as I can find another house."
muttered Dudler to himself. 81 won't
live in such a nest of Spanish sympa-
thizers."
Then a stranger came along, looked
up at the flag and Immediately pulled
off his coat and wanted to fight Dudler.
What the outcome would have been is
a matter of speculation, for at this
point a policeman arrived on the scene,
gave one look at the flag and ordered
Dudler to haul it down.
"Wh-a-at?" gasped Dudler.
'"Take it down." ordered the police
man, cor I'll run you in"
This was too much. Dudler was pro-
ceeding to pull off his coat preparatory
to fighting the whole police force, when
he stopped long enough to take one
look at the beloved flag he was about to
defend. Then he wilted. Old Glory was
upside down.
Dudler apologized, righted his be-
loved flag. and peace reigned once more
in the neighborhood.

NOTSLS OF THE NIGHT.
Concerning Summer Sleep Prevent
ives and Their Treatment IN
the Police Court.

At this season of the year, when
BOOSTERS crow at daylight in the morn
ing, dogs bark late at night and the
street vender yeIls his wares, the po-
lice are the recipients of hundreds of
complaints from citizens who must, by
reason of the heat, keep their doors
and windows open. For the informa-
ton Of those concerned, the Washing
ton Post has obtained what is cited
as the determination of the police court
in such cases.
son is disturbed by unnecessary noises,
such as has been mentioned, it does
not come within the province of the
police officer to arrest those response
BILE, unless the police officer himself
should be disturbed. In other words,
the party whose peace or rest is in
terfered with by the Growing or bark
ing must first procure a warrant
against the owner of the fowl or dog
which causes the disturbances. The
Office then proceeds to bring the owner
Of chs offending creature to justice.
Where persons ~denounce loud crying
by hucksters, accompanied by written
complaint, the police officer has been
permitted a hearing in court.
In determining cases in court it has
been made a rule that a party crying
bis wares must not make noise enough
to be heard more than a square. Just
how q single police officer is to deter

what is now pulling him.

SAWDUST
The Ottawa River Is the Scene OF
Queer ~UpheavaIs.

Who ever heard of sawdust eXplo-
sions? They are common enough in
Canada. Navigation on the Ottawa
river has been seriously impeded at
times by explosions of sawdust, and
the Dominion government has at last
decided to a steps to prevent any
practice which will enhance the posi-
bility Of these explosions taking place.
One would hardly suppose hat saw
dust dumped into the river would in
course of time reform itself into a.
gas generator which would keep the
surface of the stream in a constant
such an extent hat small boats have
been capsized and large vessels have
been injured by the submarine convul-
eions.
The bottom of the Ottawa river is
covered with a deep layer Of sawdust
dumped there by the lumbermen who
have carried on their log cutting in
dustry on ita banks and tributaries for
years. The dust becomes water-soaked,
sinks to the bottom, and in the course
of time, rots and generates a highly
explosive gas. The water rises to the
surface, each bubble being Joined or
REINFORCED by other bubbles on the
way up. Contact with air seems to be
as destructive as touchfre to this gas,
and the moment the surface is reached
1t eXplodes with a loud report. Leg
i~slation may in time do away with the
annoyance, but wen if no more saw
dust is thrown into the stream, hence
forth the millions Of tons already there
will take a long time to work off their
gas-generating qualities.

NOiScIeSa GnOS EnXt.

For ONE years inventors have been
trying to devise a gun which would be
practically silent and which when fired
would also give no Indication of it's
position. Powders more or less smoke
less have been introduced, but it may
be doubted whether it is possible to
contrive a gun both 1ashless and noise
less. Col. Humbert hopes to do this
by a device for closing the extremity
of the gun as soon as the %projectile has
made it's exit, so that there shall be no
flash, and that the air shall be pre-
vented from abruptly entering the
piece-such entrances being one of the
causes of defamation.

A vERITABLE SAINTS REST.
XilitIa District in Mexico Free from
locked Doors and Thieves.

XiIitIa District in Mexico Free from
locked Doors and Thieves.
eff a person wishes to see an ideal
saints rest,' said l.. A. Downing, to a
Chicago Chronicle man, she should visit
the Xilitla district of the Mexican re-
public. The people there belong to the
Huastecos tribe of Indians. They are
said to have been mong the bravest
opponents Of Cortez. They are clean,
honest and industrious. No doors are
locked in Xilitla. Coffee planters go
away ard leave gems and all name of
personal property in their houses, but
lose nothing.
"When | call the Huastecos industri-
Gus the Huastecan standard of industry
must be borne III mind. Four days there
make a week of labor. The Indian does
that four days work for one dollar. If
be were paid two or four dollars he
would work only four days, and arch
biologists suppose this custom to have
come from the habits of the ancient
people. The dollar is paid in advance
on Sunday. Payment insures the deliv-
cry of the four days work before Satur-
day night. If the work is not done the
Indian is a defaulter in the light Of local
laws, and is thrown into jail. On Sun
day Xilitla has a population of 5000,
but on Monday not 900 Indians are
found in town. The others are out on
the plantation. Their day commences
with daylight and is kept up as long as
they can see. In that latitude there are
about 16 hours of daylight, so that the
aborers put in about g. hours of labor
as against 81 hours customary in the
United States"

afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and [ kept getting
worse until l lest the use of my arms. l
doctored with two skillful doctors but re-
ceived no benefit and also used galvanic
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1892. gave up all
hope of ever having the use of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long;
I was unable to dress or undress myself, and

COULDN'T WAIT.
Two Kenosha Young People Are Married
In Milwaukee.

Among the recent marriages in Mil
waukee are noticed the marriage of
Miss Lizzie Leik and Otto Newhouse,
of this city. The young people have
not announced the affair to any of
their friends and this announcement
will probably prove to be quite sur
prize to the German population in this
city. The young folks had been friends
for some time and it was known to their
parents that they intended to marry,
but they had agreed to wait until after
Lent for the marriage. From the
announcement in the Milwaukee papers
it seems that the period of waiting
seemed too long to the young couple,
and they took the matter into their
own hands and were married in Mil
waukee last Sunday.
The young people have the best
wishes Of large number of friends for
their future happiness.
