TOO MUCH WORK
For a Healthy Existence.-Thats
Why the Kidneys so often Fail.

Nature has provided a certain amount
of work for every organ OF the human
body; overtax them and disease eventu-
ally follows. There is not one por-
ton of our organism that is so Overworked
as the kidneys; on them is placed the i'm
portant function of filtering the blood OF
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The.
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
erage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid, which brings on disease
in many forms. The back is the first to
show this stoppagc. From there comes.
the warning note; it should be Needed,
and the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action
of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back or
pains and aches, and cure all troubles OK
kidneys and bladder. Read the following:
Mr. VIM. Nelson is well-khown BUSH

what was said to be stoppage of the blao

in expectancy of getting better, but they
all proved unavailng. Some months ago
began using Doan's Kidney Pills, which I
had heard highly recommended, and can
now say that the flattering reports were
not greater than they deserved. l got
better right along. and am free from any

leaving the matter to fortune. as were
their ancestors, but fix it themselves.
The universal means used to celebrate
the day is a combination of lace paper,
pictured hearts, cupids and verses,
thousands of which now hang In the
stationers' window. From one to a
dozen of these are selected, at a cost
of from one cent to several dollars,
and entrusted, properly addressed, to
the postman's care. Invariably, the
missive is sent anonymously. Often,
too, the sender steals, missive in hand,
up to the door of the one who is to re-
ceive it, after dusk of st. Valentines
day The bell is pulled, the valentine
dropped, and away runs the young one

however, is experienced when the cir

chalks a white square the size of an
envelope upon the porch, rings the
bell, and scampers away. OF course,
in the darkness, the square resembles
a valentine, and the fair one, her heart
beating little faster than ordinarily,
stoops to pick up-nothirg.
A spirit of irreverence for the senti-
ment of st. Valentines observances
has sprung up within the memory of
living man. Instead of the regulation
lace and verses, the latter of which are
of the "molasses drip" sort, contracted
for by the hundred pounds, there is
ture, with libelous accompaniment OF
lines. Great swollen heads, emaciated
chests. and misshapen feet, printed
upon cheap paper, are dedicated to
tradesman or a man of professional
calling. Some of the caricatures have
their foundations based on peculiari-
ties of custom or eccentricities OF habit.
One OF these eccentricitles is taken
apart from any other trait, dressed in
an outrageous body and glaring
clothes. and becomes the missile of the
small boy with which to attack the
foibles and foolish conventions of So
ciety.
There will long remain, notwith-
standing the practical, hardening tend
ency of the age, something of the senti-
ment peculiar to st. Valentines day.
which led the Roman lads to choose
and honor their lady loves. Though
the New York postmen may cease to
carry 100000 extra letters on that day.
Cupid will continue to be honored, and
the confectloner and the florist may
notice an increased sale of their wares,
for the spring still comes and the birds
still mate. and human nature is much
as It used to be in the olden days at
Rome.

MUSICAL MEMORIES.
Remarkable Tests of Bulow and Rubin

(To be Continued.)

Remarkable Tests of Bulow and Rubin
steln-Patti Knew 40 Operas.
Possibly the greatest case on rec
ord is that wonder of wonders, the
most intellectual of interpreters, the
late DR.. Hans Won Bulow, says Music.
He not only played all of Beethoven by
heart upon the piano, but knew all
the symphonies in the same manner,
and practically the whole Wagnerian
output of musical metal, and 1t was
claimed that so great was the mass OF
piano music which Bulow retained
within the book and volume of his
BRAIN" inscribed in mysterious HERO
glyphics somewhere among the mole
cules of the gray matter constituting
the cortex of his cerebral organ, that
he could have played twenty-five piano
recital programs without repeating
and without printed page. Since
there go about 1000 measures to the
hour. and two solid hours to an ordi-
nary Bulow program, this would rep
resent 100000 measures of music, or
about 1000 large pages, something
like eight or ten thick volumes. Even
Bulow was outdone by Rubinstein, In
the field OF piano music at least, II we
can trust the anecdote mongers, for it
Is claimed that in one season at st.
Petersburg he played a series Of re-
citals which exhausted the literature
Of the piano and embraced 1900 dis
tinct compositions. 1t is mentioned OF
Mendclssohn that on one occasion, the
score of Beethoven's sixth Sym
phony" having been misplaced, he
raised his baton and directed the work
from memory, but this does not seem
to me feat in the least remarkable,
for the Pastoral Symphony" is so ex-
tremely lucid and so bewitchingly
beautiful that the only thing difficult
or remarkable would be the forgetting
of II. Nine. Patti knew forty opera
roles, and Varesi, the barytone, knew
eighty.

In Hamlet, Ophelia is heard to sing:

Some have accounted for the origin
of the days observances by saying that
it is the time of year when the birds
are mating and, with the feathered
world,
"The young mans fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love"
In some parts Of England, it was the
custom, on st. Valentines eve, to walk
Hle woods with bird-net, in the hope
of catching an owl. Success in love
was the result of bringing home live
owl from the hunt, for, as the wisest
of birds, 1t was supposed to have the
secret OF success which it would i'm
part on this night. 1t was believed
that the first person Of the opposite
sex one met on St. Valentines morning
was to be that ones valentine" and
records remain of young ladies who
conscientiously locked themselves in
their rooms, with eyes tightly closed
when leaving it, until the right young
man was announced.
