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 the two
ways. The first way isfrom imperfect
action of the kidneys. The second
way is from careless local treatment of
other diseases.
sCHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
close to the bladder, therefore any
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder
or urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates 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. If
you need remedy you should have

The Woes of a Citrate.

A curate in south London confdes to
us q terrible dilemma in which he he's
been placed and asks whether it is fair
that such burdens should be thrown on
men like him-a master Of arts and
bachelor of divinity. His case stands
thus: Two days ago the reverend gen.
tleman received a letter informing him
that the vicar and his wife had been
suddenly called away from home, and
would be take charge of the services on
Sunday? There was a postscript from
the wears wife telling him to please
call in at the vicarage at least twice
every day just to see that poor, dear
Fido" - her pet poodle : was being
properly looked after by the maid OF all
work, the other servant having to &C.
company her master and mistress. The
curate plaintivcly says that, although
it is un- Christian to hate anything, be
must confess to entertaining as much of
that feeling toward dogs as is compati-
Bile with his sacred calling. He is afraid
that he may do something to the animal
which may cause it to snarl at him the
next time he takes tea with the vicar
and his wife, and if the lady takes 1T
into her head that the pet has not been
duly fondled in her absence he may
soon be out of situation. 1t is indeed
sad case. Some time ago the world
rang with indignation over the story Of
q curate who felt constrained to resign
his place because the rector wife asked
him to buy her some butter, but the
new case seems even worse. Cannot the
Curates' Protection society do some
thing in the matter?-London Tele-

Andover's Indian Ridge Is Safe.

Not Andover alone, but the country
at large-yes, and students of geology
the world over-are to be congratulated
on the saving of Indian ridge, its rock
and it's. trees, from an invasion with
spade and ak, says the Boston Tran
script. 1t was the sentiment of woman
kind that brought this to pass, and the
names of the four women OF Andover
who have so earnestly, energetically and
Systematically worked for this end for
so long a time are Alice Buck, Salome
]. Marland, Susan M. Blake and Emma
j. Lincoln. The owners Of the ridge,
five heirs to an estate, proved them
selves to be equally public spirited by
their united action in reducing their
price set upon the tract from $4,000 to
$500.
Indian ridge will henceforth remain
as beautiful park for the town, as an
inspiration for it's people and for every
visitor to its great pine woods. as liv-
ing chapter in the geological history OF
the continent, for nowhere in the land
can the phenomena caused by the an
Gent ice drift be so conveniently studied
as here, and these % acres just pur-
chased, together with All adjoining tract
of nine acres previously owned by the

OIL Films For Decoration.

A new method Of decorating surfaces
with color has been devised by M.
Charles Henry. which promises to have
an extended development. Every one
knows that if drop of oil or Of spirit
of turpentine is allowed to fall on wa
ter it will spread over the surface of the
water, showing iridescent colors as the
peIlicle extends and becomes thin
enough to cause interferences in the light
reflected from the upper and lower sur
faces Sometimes these iridescent col
ors are very brilliant, particularly with
turpentine or essential oils. but they
disappear, OF course, with the eyapora-
ton of the volatile substance. NJ. Hen
RVS invention consists in adding to the
volatile spirit some substance which as
the spirit evaporates will remain fixed
at the same time that it retains the
properties of the spirit pellicle. For
this purpose be employs bitumen or
resins of certain kinds, dissolving them
in turpentine and allowing drop OF
the solution to fall on the water. The
EOluGlOu bplGdUoj al WI PSAeANS eAAS~NS
would do, but as the turpentine evapo-
rates o thin permanent film Of rosin IS
left, which exhibits the iridescent col
ors of the original liquid. This perma-
neut film is then taken up on paper, to
which it gives beautiful iridescence.
Either black or white paper may be en-
ployed, the former giving greater bril-
liancy and the latter greater softness.
While the liquid solution is spreading
over the paper the colors may be arti-
fcially modified by blowing on the film
or by whistlirg near it or in other
ways, and these variations will be per-
petuated in the finished work. 1t will
occur to the scientific man that there
might be possibility of producing such
variations by the action of colored light,
as is done by the Lippmann process on
a film of bromide Of silver and gelatin,
and experiments are likely to take that
direction. Architect.

O'BEIRNE AND BELL.
Meeting After Many Years OF tho Colonel
and the Major.


and the Major.
A tall, handsome gentleman, with
mustache sud hair tinged with gray.
walked through the lobby of the Ebbitt
and stopped in front of the newsstand.
He was about to pick up newspaper
when little old man, with gray, shag.
gy burnside., got up from his scat III
one corner a. the lobby and walked over
to him.
"Isn't this General James r.
O'Beirne?" tl;n little man asked.
II am Gtneral O'Beirne, sir, was
his reply, "snd who are you, may /
ask?''
''Do you remember Major Bell of
New York?'
"Do remember him? Well, have
cause to remember him. He saved my
life once. :"
"Well, 1 am that person. said the
little man.
Tears came INFO the eyes Of both as
they grasped each cther's hands and ad
journed to convenient seat to talk,oyer
old times
At the battle of Charlottesville
O'Beirne, who was then colonel of the
Thirty seventh New York regiment,
was shot through the Lreast by a bullet.
1t made hole clear through one lung.
Bell, who had been IN the same regi-
ment, called to his assistance one of his
comrades, and they carried him off the
field of battle.
O'Beirne was sent to his home in
New York, and it was supposed that he
could not live long But under good
nursing he recovered and went back
into the Union service agein. At the
time of President Lincoln'a second in
auguration he was provost luarshal in
the District of Columbia.
During the ceremonies % the east
side of the capitol Bell, VINO was in
Washington on leave Of absence, de-
tected pickpocket pursuing his work
in the crowd. He called the attention
of policeman to the man. The police
man arrested the pickpocket and took
Bell along for witness.
The hearing was delayed fer several
days, and in the meantime Bells leave
of absence expired. When he presented
the outlawed ticket at the steamer
wharf, be was placed under arrest for
having disobeyed the order. Bell tried
to explain, but the rules were fixed and
relentless.
The case was brought to the attention
of General O'Beirne as provost marshal.
and as soon as he saw the name he had
Bell brought before him.
General, I wish you would let me
20, as am anxious to join my regi-
ment, said Bell.
"You will be dealt with as man
should be who has dared to disobey the
injunction of his commander, "O'Beirne
replied sternly.
He then issued new order extending
Bells leave of absence two weeks and
accompanied it with command that he
appear at his home in this city. Bell
visited the man whose life he had saved,
spent week, and later Joined his regi-
ment.-Washington Star.

The Weight of Brains.

Some interesting facts bearing on the
size and weight OF the brain were given
recently by Sir William Turner. In the
case of Europeans the average brain
weight is from 40 ounces to 90 ounces
in man and from a ounces to As ounces
in woman. 1t is interesting to note that
even in newborn children the boys have
bigger heads and heavier brains than
the girls The brains Of a number OF
men of ability and intellectual distinc-
tion have been weighed and ascertained
to be from % ounces to 60 ounces. In
few exceptional cases, as in the brains
Of Cuvier and DR.. Abercrombie, the
weight has been more than 60 ounces,
but it should also be stated that brains
weighing 60 ounces and upward have
occasionally been obtained from persons
who had shown no sign of intellectual
eminence. On the other hand, it has
been pointed out that if the brain falls
below certain weight it cannot prop
erly discharge its functions. This mini
mum weight for civilized people ex-
perts have placed at 81 ounces for men
snd S2 for women. Public Opinion.

Horscnesh,

In Europe prejudice against horsedesh
IS food diminishes year by year, and in
France and other continental countries
great attention is given to the fattenlng
of wornout horses for the market. Eu-
ropean societies for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals are interesting them
selves in the subject and are offering IN
ducements to farmers to utilize their
spare horses for food. The substance is
said to be as nourishing and palatable
as beef, and in some respects authorities
of the cuisine give it the preference.
Every year there is more or less of
panic in regard to the short supply OF
beef, and in the countries which have
become accustomed to its use horsehesh
comes in as q substitute.
In France the price of beef is from %
to 40 cents pound, while horse meat
may be had from to cents. The pot
au-feu, disused in thousands of French
homes on account Of the high price OF
beef, has, through the cheapness Of the
latter meat, assumed its former lmpor-
lance in the domestic economy OF that,
people. In this era Of mechanical pro-
pulsion an increasing number Of horses
are thrown out of business, and their
utilization as food, if it cannot be said
to open a new career to them, brings
their existing one to useful close.
According to current statistics it Will
not be many years before the worlds
supply of beef will fall short Of its re-
ouirements, and if relief is not found In
utilizing the horse as substitute it is
difficult to conjecture where it is to be
looked for, short Of general adoption
Of the practice of vegetarianism, which
has always been the diet of the subject,
and never so far the ruling Of progress

FIRE HORSES.
The Quickest Ones In the World Are Said
to Be In Ksnsas City.

The Quickest Ones In the World Are Said
to Be In Kansas City.
F. S. Dellenbaugh writes Of 1.-THE
Quick Horse" in St. Nicholas, his
article telling Of the training of horses
for the fire department.. Mr.. Dellen-
baugh says:
The quickest horses;in the world were
at one time in Kansas City at the head
quarters Of its fire department. directly
under the Office of the chief, Mr.. George
9 Hale. To Mr.. Hale's genius more
than to any other factor the quick horse
owed his first development, for Mr..
Hale is the inventor of the earliest
swinging harness which made the
quick horse possible. When Mr.. Henry
M. Stanley and his wife were In this
country, they witnessed an exhibition
drill of the Kansas City fire department..
The drill SO impressed the visitors that
an account of it was published in Lon
don journal, and this English article
brought an invitation to Mr.. Hale to
visit England as the representative Of
the American fire service at the interna.
tional fire tournament. Mr.. Hale and
picked corps went to England, TAX
ing with them the remarkably quick
horses Joe and Dan, and they became
world famous. AS the quickest harness
ing time of the London fire brigade Is
minute TX seconds and the Kansas
City horses were harnessed in ~ Sec
onds and were out of the engine house
In less than seconds, there could be no
competition. In Kansas City four fine
bays were harnessed to the hook and
ladder truck almost as quickly as even
Joe and Dan could jump into their har-
nesses. 1t was pretty sight to see these
four we'll kept horses spring to their
places at the stroke of the gong and in
two or three seconds stand ready to run
with the apparatus. Joe was killed by
an accident, but Dan, with new mate,
is still in service, and as quick as ever.
The record for quickest time from the
angine house to the throwing of water
ca the fire is held by Kansas City
company. In this instance the horses
were harnessed, run of 2, 194 feet "a
little less than half a mile) was made,
and water thrown from the hose in the
wonderfully brief time Of minute BIZ

RAT WITH A WOODEN LEG.
How an ,invcntivcand Humane PHIL
adeiphia Boy Fitted Ont
His Captive.

A rat with wooden leg Is a Curl
osity, as curiosities go nowadays. Yet
such an animal can be seen any day at
;he residence of man named Dugmore,
IN the southwestern section Of the
city, reports the Philadelphia Times.
About mouth ago Willie Dugmcre,
lad of l2 years, found the little rodent
in trap in the cellar. His first i'm
pulse was to brain the pest with
base ball bat, but the raj looked at him
so pleadingly that Willie's heart was
touched. and he decided to take the trap
to an adjoining vacant lot and liberate
The animal, This he did, but instead OF
scampering off, as he expected, the rat
limped painfully up to him and began
10 lick his hand. Willie then discovered
that one of the animals legs had been
almost severed by the trap.
Taking the rat home. he cut the leg
off and then bandaged the wound, using
as linimeni a little vaseline. He then
put the rat into cage and nursed II
for week He then removed the band
age and found that the wound had
completely healed. The rat was, how
ever, unable to walk, and Willie de-
cided that he would make for it an ar
tifcia leg. Going down to the cellar.
he obtained piece of pire, and after
some whiting succeeded in making a
leg. This he fastened on with string,
and was delighted 10 see that his plan
was entirely successful. The rat is now
the family pet and can be seen any day
hobb!ing about the kitchen or teasing
little Irish terrier, of which it has
made lifelong frieEd.
