TAYLoURs AND SMYTHS.
They Were the COmmonest Trades
In the Thirteenth Century.

The manufacture of leather in the
thirteenth century seems TO have been
important, showing that leather jenkins
and breeches We're commonly worn. We
have 10 swimmers. 40 barkars. 6 sad
delers. s cordeweners 161 souters,
(shoemakers) and S glovers. The sur
name feuster is trade name denotins
a maker of pack saddles.
The commonest trades are taylour and
smytb, since one lived in almost every
village. The taylours number 4O7, Of
whom 140 are called by the Latin name
of cissor In addition to 261 smyths.
several are specialized. There are two
arusmyths, three lokesmyths. three
goldsmyths. five fferours (shoeing
smiths) and six marshalls (farriers).
The wright wrought both in wood
and metal The number catalogued is
1S6, of whom 81 are called by the Latin
name faber French favre), one of the
few cases in which the Latin transla-
ton of trade name has become a COM

that of the smyths, was specialized.
The arkwryght made the great arks or
chests in which the clothes or meal
were stored, and we find plowwryght,
a wheelwryght, two shippewryghts, II
cartwryghts and two glasswryghts (gla-
ziers), who were probably concerned
with the windows of churches. Glass
windows in houses were rare, as is still
the case in Sicily or Egypt.
The bakesters are few (15) suggesting
that families baked their own bread.
There are 81 butchers (heshewer, bocher

the surname potter shows that this
trade was in existence. The fysshers

1T IS VERY
SCIENTIFIC.
Preferred to All Others of
Its Kind.
A Few of the Many Points of Ex-
cellence Not to be Found Among
Other Kidney Remedies.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the great
remedy for kidney and urinary all
ments is a scientific preparation. 1t
has been perfected after Is years of
hard work, by an experienced chem
list. Kid-ne-oids act gently, tho
roughly, quickly and directly on the
kidneys, nerves and urinary organs.
They will build up the system and
restore it's normal parts to their ma
tural condition.
G. w. Carr, 205 Broadway, AL
lance, Ohio, says: II suffered a
great deal with kidney complaint,
for the past ten years. The follow
ing are the symptoms that distressed
me most: backache, urinary distur-
Dances and nervousness. l used
kidney pills and. many other
kidney remedies without being
benefited in, the least. My sys-
tenn was greatly weakenedSby the
constant pain. Finally 4 heard
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
concluded to try them. l followed
the directions carefully and in three
days noticed decided change in
my condition. Have continued to
use Kid-ne-oids and can truthfully
say that j am almost cured of my
troubles"

Ne MUST REPEAT.
When Everybody in Akron
Tells the Same Story.

1t is hard to say new things about
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cure the
lame and aching back, the sufferer
from kidney disorders and the trou-
bles of those whose urinary organism
is wrong in it's action. That they do
this is so easy to prove that not a YES
dorsement of local citizens is easily
proven. Read this case:
Mr.. G. M. Runyeon, of 165 Benja
min ST., carpenter, says: Il can
vOuch for Doans Kidney Pills being
good for backache and for sluggish
kidneys. My trouble was a dull,
gnawing pain in my back and an acute
lameness over the kidneys which L
felt most when Strengthening after
STOPPING or on rising from chair or
getting out of bed, etc. l had no am
bitiOn, was depressed and every quick
movement gave me pain. Learning
about Doan's Kidney Pills procured
them from Lamparter & Co.'s drug
store and their use relieved me
promptly. My wife also took them
for her back and kidneys with the
greatest satisfaction. She no longer
complained of WEAKNESS mornings
nor of dull headaches that formerly
bothered her. We both recommend

The TTua.

My introduction to this prince of the
Pacific was on this wise: My brother
and 1 were trolling for yellowtail off the
island of Santa Catalina. Suddenly out
of the summer sea flying fsh-the
humming bird of ocean-fashed
athwart our bows and then, not dozen
yards distant, the waters parted and a
huge tuna, in its resplendent livery of
blue and silver, swooped with indescrib-
able strength and rapidity upon its
quarry, catching it, mirabile dictu, in
midair. In a fraction of a second the
deed was done The ocean, recording
the splash of the leviathan, rippled ap-
plause, and our questions pattered like
hail upon the somewhat hard under
standing of our boatman, a son of AL
SAGE.
.'Yes, - he said, his white teeth in
curious contrast to a lean, bronzed face

100, 900 francs, he added, was reserve
accumulated by Colonel Picquart by
strict economy from the funds at the
disposal of the war Office. This reserve
had entirely disappeared.
In response TO gestures of contradic-
ton from NJ. Demange, General Roget
admitted the figures quoted Were per-
haped exaggerated. The witness next
accused Colonel Picluart of suppressing
documents tending to compromise
Dreyfus.
As the general was evidently greatly
fatigued, Colonel Jouaust suggested he
continue his testimony today The
colonel then addressed the prisoner.
asking him if he had anything to say in
reply to General Roget. Dreyfus re-
piled:
No, my colonel. 1t is frightful that.
day after day, for hours | should thus
have my heart, my soul and my very
entrails torn without being permitted
to reply. 1t is terrible torture TO i'm
pose upon an innocent and loyal soldier.
1t is frightful thing. Frightful
Frightful.
This Outburst caused a great sensa-
ton. The audience, profoundly stirred,
began TO applaud, but the applause was
quickly suppressed.
The most interesting part OF his tes-
timony was his attack on Colonel Pic
quart, which will undoubtedly lead to
the conformation of the two men.
As the prisoner passed out in front of
the seats assigned to the representatives
OF the press his face was pale but ami
mated. He seemed to be in state of
great nervous excitement and in fur
ious temper.
The general impression left by the
proceedings is unfavorable owing to the
absence of such cross examinations as
NJ Labori would have given MN.
Rebon and Guerln and owing to the
fact that General Roget's arguments
received no reply. This, however, it is
hoped, will prove damaging when NJ.
Denlange questions HIM today,
although Nj. Demange cannot be said,
up to the present, to have shown to any
great advantage.
The decision of Colonel Jouaust not
to adjourn the court created very bad
impression in Dreyfusard circles, and
pessimistic predictions are being made
as to the outcome of the trial. 1t
was pointed out that the decision of the
members of the courtnot to adjourn be-
ing unanimous shows that not one of
tine judges is we'll disposed toward the
prisoner.
itwas understood that Maitre De-
mango would today repeat the applica-
ton for an adjournment, in conse-
quence of a hint that the government
commissary, Major Carriere, had re-
ceived instructions not to oppose it.
Maitre Mornard, who represented
Madame Dreyfus in the revision pro-
ceedings before the court of cessation,
was summoned to replace Maitre Labori
until the latter is able to return to his
post. NJ. Mornard was expected to ap-
pear in court today. He is, however, Il
poor substitute for LabOri.

The orange of Louisiana is an axcep-

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Dauqhter's Life.

L am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of eXper-
ience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything l could
think of, but nothing seemed to do
her any good. ] saw by an adver-
tisement in our paper that Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was highly recommended
and sent and got bottle at once. 1t
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the house.
1t saved my little daughters life. L
am anxious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had known it at first it would have
saved me great deal of anxiety and
my little daughter much suffering.

Nowadays it is the trusts that regu-
late the market value of everything
from hair pin to thirteen story
building. With the trusts reversing
the operation of every established
economic law, and the Hanna Ad-
ministration repudiating the Decla-
ration of Independence. this is an
age of progressiveness, indeed.
POLITICAL conventions could not
get along very well without their
receptive candidates to fall back on,
but they would have no trouble dis
pensing with the receptive" chair
men of delegations. 1t is TO be hoped
that the approaching Democratic
convention will be free from these
political pirates, who make mer-
chandise of the votes of their fol-
lowers by bargaining them away to
the highest bidder. The Democratic
party should give Hanna and Cox a
monopoly in such traffic.
