PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to de-
tcct the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark, puffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow parsnip- colored complexion
indicates il.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urnate often, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; If after passing
there is an unsatistied feeling as If it
must be at once repeated, or If the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong
Odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, Inflammation, causing
stdppage, and sometimes requiring the
drawing Of the urine with instruments,
or may run into Bright's Disease, the
most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's swamp Root, the great
discovery Of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
worldwide and it is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suffers
any length OF time for want OF it.

The MinnOyv Trap.

The minnow trap used for catching
minnows for bait is of glass, shaped like
a jar or bottle without a neck and Of
a capacity of six or eight quarts. The
bottom of the trap rises in cone, like
the bottom of "a champagne bottle, but
instead Of being solid the top of the
cone is cut off, making an opening in
the trap The top of the trap has over
it metal cap on a hinge. The cap is
perforated with "a number Of holes to
permit of the circulation Of water
through the trap.
The minnow trap is slung horizon
tally in wire holder, which has a ham
die on top, to which rope is made fast.
Suitable bait to attract minnows is
placed in the trap, which is then low.
cred into the water The cone with the
opening at tle inner end in the bottom
is in effect like the opening into an eel
or fish trap. 1t il easy for the minnows
to get through it into the trap in search
of the bait but hard for them TO get
out. When the trap has been raised,
the captured minnows are got out by
opening the cap at the other eud of the
trap.-New York Sun

CoIored womenIn clubs.

The club movement among colored
women began about eight years ago, and
the number of clubs has increased to
such an extent that there is now Ma
tional Federation Of Colored Women 8
clubs. Mrs. r. l.. Terrell of Washing
ton, Mrs Booker L. Washington Of
Tuskegee, Mrs. Josephine Ruf1in of Bos-
ton, Mrs. l.. A. Davis of Chicago and
Mrs Ellen Cook of Washington are
some of the leading women in this work
of national organization. This fedora
ton has held four annual conventions.
The last one was held in Nashville dur
ing the exposition last year, and the
next one will be held in Chicago during
the summer of 1899 There are about
200 clubs in this national federation.
The largest number of these are, Of
course, in the south

and leagues are modelled largely after
the stronger clubs among white women.

Evolution of a Paris Gown.

The Paris gown that bursts full blown
on the eye of the client is not, as the
public believe, creation of the great
dressmaker himself, nor is the great
dressmaker responsible for the fashion.
This model gown il the result Of an al
most infinite collaboration. Up in the
garrets of the crisscross streets live a
modest class of artists that make prof.
ects. They get their inspiration from
old portraits at the Louvre, at Yer
sailles, from elegant women in the
driveways of the Bots or from some
hazard. They modify, develop, combine,
following n drift which they do not
control, till they have produced novel
idea that the public is likely to accept
and that is therefore salable. Their prof
ects are fixed in sketches, and they are
known as marchands dc croquis. Others
of these specialists make up their prof
ects in cloth and are known as mar.
chands de modeles. These occupy q
more important rank than the first,
since the models form demonstration
that the ideas can be realized. Tho
model merchant is in relation with the
manufacturers, who provide her with
the new materials. -Scribner'

Hard on IN. c.nt,.r Sex.

There is much Of the slave and the
tyrant hidden in the nature of woman.
Thus woman is not yet capable Of
friendship, but only of love.
In the love of woman is injustice and
blindness to all that she does not love.
There are two things a true man
likes danger and play. He likes won
an because she is the most dangerous of
playthings.
A man should be reared for the voca-
ton Of warrior; woman for the rec
reation Of the warrior. All else is rub
bish.
A woman's principle Of honor is to
love more than she is loved, SO as not
to be second.
In any game where love or hate is
not at stake women play mediocre
part.
All women behind their personal
vanity cherish an impersonal contempt
for woman.
As "a rule, a mother loves herself in
her son more than the son himself.
The chief danger that besets artists
Of genius lies in woman. The worship
ing woman is their ruin. Hardly one
has character enough to resist his ruin
when he finds himself treated like a
god. Man is coward in face Of the
ewig weibliche, and no one knows it
better than the small woman.
Women indulge in literature as they
commit little sin, glancing round to
see if any one is looking-i. g., to at
tract attention. Henry Nietzsche in

A Good Woman.

Mime. Carnot, widow of the assassi-
mated president Of the French republic,
who died recently of heart disease at
Presles, was born in l843, and original
ly bore the English name of White
Marie Pauline Cecile Dupont White.
She was the daughter of Charles Brook
Dupont White, the son of M. Dupont
of Rouen, who, marrying an English wo-
man, adopted her name of White. Her
father was an eminent political econo-
mist, the friend of John Stuart Mill
and translator of some of his works.
Her mother, an octogenarian. who is
still living, was the daughter of great
Paris builder, When Marie Dupont
White became the wife of Sadi Carnot,
he was mere civil engineer in the
government service. To her influence is
attributed his entry, in 1870, into pc.
litical life. On his election TO the presi-
dency she set new example by her in
terest in the unfortunate and her liberal
benefactions. She refused a pension
after his tragic death and took the sum

ument to NJ. Carnot to found annual
grants for deserving widows. She leaves

The last census showed that the in
crease in the poultry and egg business
had been ~ per cent in the preceding
ten years. From its value then il is es-
timated that the egg production alone
is now worth about $3.50, 000 600 year,
which is three times the value of the
output of the gold mines Of the country,
twice as much as the pig iron and more
than half as much as the wheat product
annually Yet the egg and poultry bust
ness is almost entirely in the hands of
women, and nobody pays much atten-
ton to its value Most Of it is attended
TO by housewives, who are classified by
the census as employed ia no gainful
occupation. Commercial and political
fortunes depend on the gold, iron and
wheat products, while nobody stops to
consult the interests or the wishes of
the homekeeper, whose egg industry is
only one of her many ways of oontribut-
ing to the wealth of the world. WON

Oriental Hunting.

The Asiatic buffalo has long horns
and is a dangerous animal to tackle,
particularly when on foot and in high
grass or thick jungle. In India the
weapon generally used is an eight bore

it can charge its foe, for wounded buf.

few years the woods and swamps Of
those islands will be as an open book in

Baseball Situation.

"Now the Baltimore club is making
a puzzling baseball situation all the
more complex, " remarks follower of
the ups and downs Of the national game
"by threatening 10 move the Baltimore
team to another city. Perhaps Wonder
horst and Hanlon are making bluff
about moving the ex-champions away
from the Monumental City. Perhaps the
threat TO take the team TO Brooklyn is
made with the intention Of frightening
the baseball patrons of Baltimore. If it
is bluff, it is bad one. President
Robson tried il in Cleveland, and it
had just the contrary effect Instead of
making the baseball patrons anxious to
keep the team, they became Indifferent
and let it go away If the Orioles are
to stay in Baltimore, Messrs. Wonder
horst and Hanlon would do well to cut
out all talk of changing their quarters.
No money was ever made by parading
misfortunes There is nothing that sue
ceeds like success Vonderhorst and
Hanlon certainly made money enough
out of the championship years of the
Orioles to stand one season Of loss with
out weeping tears of financial grief.
The more they parade their misfortunes
the worse they will fare. With the st.
Louis club on the verge of bankruptcy,
the Cleveland club without a home and
the Baltimore club ready TO fold its
tent and sneak away to another town,
the League magnates are going to have
lot of work at the annual meeting.

hood.
