Suppose the newspapers should
criticise the shortcomings of every
body as freely and mercilessly as
everybody does the shortcomings ofthe
newspapers, what would everybody
say? We imagine if The Herald told
all it knows about different people in
this city that a gattling gun and sew
eral Winchesters would be essential
to our safety while in the Office and a
strong body guard when outside.
And this paper is no exception to the
rule. Still there are lots of people
who think that a newspaper is no
good unless it publishes all the mean
ness it knows-about the other fellow
of course.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back Of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set YOUR urine aside for twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect OF
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon
realized. Jfyou need a medicine you
should have the best. At druggists

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
two ways. The first way is from inn
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.

His Last Meal.

Every day some fresh source of food
supply is discovered, says The Stamp
Collector. Adhesive stamps have not
hitherto been regarded as nutritious.
The ostrich prefers gold watches for a
steady diet, and the travelling tinker's
donkey has reputation for consuming
any clean linen that may be handy.
A Hlndoo paper, however, gives an
account Of a curious incident that oc-
cured at the residency in a remote dis
trict III Ceylon a little while ago. Mr..
Pieris. the Office assistant, placed on
his table some judicial stamps to the
value CT about goo rupees. While his
attention was drawn to something else
his pet goat was slowly but surely max
ing a meal Of the stamps. This was not
discovered until the goat had swal-
lowed some 80 rupees worth of stamps.
Immediately the goats life was de
manded as g penalty, and the stamps,
afterward taken from its stomach, were
forwarded to the commissioner.

that concession TO the a%utocratic order

Changes In Cave DWELLING Animals.

1.-The influence of environment upon
organisms is nowhere more striking"
says Science, than in the case of AMI
mails which find themselves acciden-
tally lost in caves and which succeed in
accustoming themselves to the situa-
ton in spite Of its difficulties. Nj. Ar
mand Wire gives some notes On his OBJ
servations in the Complies Rendus. The
principal difference in the situation
consists in the absence of light and in
the rarity Of animal prey. The eye al
ways becomes atrophied to a degree
which varies with the species and also
with the individual. There is some
times a difference between the w ewes
of a single individual. The eyes are to
a certain extent replaced by other Or
gans of sense; the antennp Of the
campodes become, in some individuals,
twice as long as usual. and sometimes
longer than the entire body. The tactile
hairs with which the body is covered
obtain an exaggerated development, and
IN the crustaceans sometimes even in
wade the ocular globe. Hearing does not
seem to be accumulated, but the sense of
smell is very acute, and a bit Of tainted
flesh becomes invaded in a very few
minutes with a large colony of animals.
The organs of digestion become very
considerably modified in those species
which are naturally ~carnivorous, and
in two staphylins the mandibles were
found to be completely atrophied. Every
animal is more or less completely de-
pigmented, but those which had no
trace Of color remaining began to have
numerous little black spots disseminated
over the whole body after they had
been kept for a month in the light, and
these spots were particularly abundant
in those parts (antenna and claws)
which had been accidentally lost and
were in course of restoration"
