what to do.

There Is comfort IN the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
swamp-ROot, the great kidney remedy,
fuIfIls every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder, and every part Of the urinary
passage. It corrects inability TO hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use Of liquor, wine
OF beer, and overcOmes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 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. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures Of the most dis
tressing cases. II you need medicine

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Till a bottle or common glass with
your water, and let It stand twenty-fOur
hours; a sediment OF settling indicates
an unhealthy condition 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 con
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.

TWO POSERS.
Lewis Carroll Used to Puz.Ie Little
Ones with Them.

Lewis Carroll Used to PuxxIe Little
Ones with Them.
Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice
in Wonderland" was fond OF puzzling
his friends with curious problems.
One OF them was the question, when
does the day begin?" II man could
travel around the world so fast that
the sun would always be directly above
his head, and II he were to start trav-
cling at midday on Tuesday, then In
"a hours he would return to his orig
inal point OF departure, and would find
that the day was now called Wednes-
day-at what point OF his journey
would the day change Its name? The
difficulty of answering this apparent
ly simple question has cast a gloom
over many a pleasant party. Another
problem was as follows: rope Is
hung over a wheel fixed to the roof
OF a building; at one end OF the rope
a weight is fixed. which exactly coun-
terbalances a monkey which is hang
ing on the other end. Suppose that
the monkey begins to climb the rope.
what will be the result? 1t is very
curious the different views taken by
good mathematicians. One says the
weight goes up with increasing veloc-
ity; others that 1t goes up at the same
rate as the monkey; while another
says 1t goes down.

Tn. Round Tower. of ireland.

Hundreds OF years ago, as far bael
as the sixth and not later than this
twelfth century, it was the custom n
ireland and other Christian countries
to build tall narrow towers close ic
many of the churches. II Is not knowr
for certain why they were erected,bul
II is supposed that, besides being used
for religious purposes. they afforded
shelter for priests and people In times
of danger After bells had been intro
duced they were sometimes hung in
these towers. The round towers were
mostly from eighty to hundred feet
high. and usually crowned with o
peaked roof. They were lighted by
small windows. and the ascent from
story to story was made by mean
of ladders. As a matter of safety, the
door was placed at considerable dis
tance from the ground. Above a hun.
dred OF these towers. more or less per
feet. are still to be found In varioui
parts of Ireland.

Mr rrlnIer.. LInuia ALE.

From a Washington Letter: A Mr..
Tripier has obtained n patent for pro-
ducing liquefied air by intense cold.
1t is a grayish- looking fluid, and each
gallon represents 800 cable feet of or
binary air, so that its expansive pow
er is tremendous. There is, however,
no danger in handing 1t. and It can be
easily confined in jars or cans OF iron
or steel. A Mr.. Stearne of Zurich has
obtained patent for reducing carbonic
acid gas to liquid form, and he pro-
poses to sell 1t to the public In little
steel capsules, small enough to be
carried in the vest pocket. By this
invention every man can have a soda
fountain with him wherever he goes.
for by unscrewing the capsule and
dropping its contents into a pitcher or
bottle of water the liquid dissolves in
to gas again and charges the water like
spolIiuaris or soda In a fountain or
siphon. A company is being formed for
the purpose of making capsules and
charging them with the liquid gas. 1t
is proposed to put them up In little
boxes. to be supplied to the public
through druggists and grocers and fur
nish them to hospitals. steamships.

The recent purchase OF 2S,00O tons
OF S5-pound steel rails by the Baiu-
more & Ohio Railroad brings the total
amount OF rail bought since March l,
1896. up to 115.300 tons, enough 10

the Third division. 30 miles on the
Fourth division. 2i miles on the Firth

subsequent examination by the sur

this sort were, of course in no small
measure due to the relatively humane
character of the wounds made by
Mauser bullets. but the skill and
knowledge of the men themselves
formed the Important factor In estab-
fishing the remarkable surgical recorg

for II Is so totally different from any
of our dances. There is only one step.
and that one is Il sort of mixture OF In

rarely use more than three or four
square feet of space. and dance contin-
ually. with little short lntermlssions of
possibly fifteen seconds. during which
they merely stand in their places and

ly. one taking up the music as the other
ceases. The music is almost Identical
with some that ! have heard mt the
dances Of our Indian tribes in Arizona
and New Mexico. except that there Is
the continual blare of a cornet. They
use tom-toms. kettle-drums and some
