The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken- checked, dis
tressed looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. Sc is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or suf-
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, BRAIN trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until II is almost too late, because the first
ymptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine or
a doctor until they find themselves sick
In bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health.

Liberty. Its Uses and Abuses.

Liberty is not an American inven-
ton. 1t was not discovered and pat
ented when the colonists threw the tea
into Boston harbor, incidentally taking
home few shoe fuls for domestic use.
Liberty is the growth of centuries, and
its enjoyment is an art. 1t won't take
care of itself. 1t never yet fourished
long among a people unframed
through centuries to preserve it. The
Filipinos can have liberty under
American domination. By and by
they may be able to enjoy liberty al
most as the Canadians enjoyit. There
are upward of 100000 Canadians
beyond our northern border who enjoy
just as much liberty as Americans do,
but who are not independent of Great
Britain, and the majority of whom
don't seem to wish to be. Yet Senator
Mason seems to believe that liberty
and independence are somehow insep-
arably yoked together. Ii that is the
case, how about the liberties of the
Hawaiian islanders? Are not their
liberties safer today, under American
domination, than they were when the
native population was under the heel
of the Dole oligarchy?-Chicago Jour

IMMUNE FROM MUSIC.
The Odd Verdict Of Sorely Tried
Teacher Who Was Disappointed
in a Pupil.

One of Chicago's music teachers, a
!. Frenchman, went to Cuba as bugler in
an Illinois company. Since his return
he has had some difficulty in building
up profitable class, and for that rea-
son he has been compelled to accept
a number of unpromising pupils, says
eIhe Inter Ocean.
The patience of the teacher became
exhausted in the case of one pupil ,tthe
daughter of North side board of trade
man. In moment of recklessness the
Frenchman summoned all the English
at his command and wrote the follow
:ng note to the father of the girl who
was not making advancement in her
piano studies:
Dear Sir: It regrets me, indeed, Ito
make announcement to you that your
daughteris is what may be called music
immune. AS man of honor. give you
my word that, even should she be ex-
posed repeatedly to infection at grand
operas and concerts, not single germ
of music would lodge in her mind, her
soul, her constitution in general.
Again. with apologies most humble
to you declare that my pupil is music
immune, and so hereby muster her
out of my class, with regrets most sad !"

NOTWITHSTANDING an increase of

NOTWITHSTANDING an increase of 1O
per cent in the production of Ameri-
can copper last year, the demand has
increased more rapidly, and conse-
quently prices have materially advan-
ced. Tn January last the market
price for copper was eleven cents
while January l this year it was firm
at 13 IA. The years consumption OF
copper was the greatest ever known,
and bids fair to steadily increase owing
to the extension of electrical apparat-
us. All the is of special interest to
Western Washington, where immense
copper deposits are being developed
and the attention of mine owners and
dealers is being turned this way. 1t is
quite likely that this year will see
Washington on the list of copper pro.
ducing states. There is plenty OF
mineral in paying quantities, which
only needs capital for development, to
make Western Washington one Of the
greatest copper districts in the world.

A TIMELY WARNING.
How q Member Of Gen. Miles stan
Escaped the Spaniards in
Porto Rico.

Capt. Whitney, of the staff of Gen.
Miles, who made the military recon-
naissanee of Porto Rico, and furnished
the material upon which the plan of
campaign was based, owes his life to
young woman attendant in a photo
graph gallery at Ponce Whitney had
spent a month in Porto Rico in various
e.dsguiscs, principally as sailor from
british merchantmen, and wore shah
by seaman's dress. He kept his notes
and memoranda carefully sewed under
the collar On the back of his shirt. One
day as he was making preparations to
leave for the United States he went into
photograph gallery at San Juan to
buy such views as he could find of the
harbor and Notifications and various
places along the coast. Watching her
opportunity, a young Porto Rican girl
who was employed in the place, whis-
Pered to him that the Spaniards were
looking for an American spy who was
disguised as sailor, and hinted that he
better not be seen on the street. Whit
ney thanked her for her information.
but assured her that they could not be
looking for him because he was an
Englishman. He made good use of the
warning, however, and concealed him
self until dark, when he rowed out to
an English ship in the harbor and per-
suaded the sailors to stow him away.
The first thing Capt. Whitney did
when he returned to Porto Rico with
Gen. Miles was to call upon his un-
known friend in the photograph gal
lery. She did not recognize him at first
with shaven face and gilt-edged uni
form, but recalled the incident as soon
as it was mentioned, and said that she
was confident he was the man the au-
thorities were looking for, and had given
him the warning because her sympa-
thies were with the Americans.

support his contention that this is the
closing year of the ecentury:
In regard to your century PROPOSE
tion of last year night, l would say
that have no authority on the sub
ject except Webster's Dictionary,
which says that century is a period
of 100 years.
With little fguringI come to the
conclusion that the twentieth century
begins January /, 1900.
Christ was born January l in the year
O, so on January l, year l, he was |
year old. January l, year 10, 10 full
years had passed, and the first decade
was ended. Also January l, 100, -Ithe
first century had passed and the second
began.
Following this up, find that 19 cen
turies will have passed by January l,
1900 thence the twentieth centuray will
begin January l, 1900.

THE combined egg and poultry pro-

1t is second only to the cereal crop,
the value of the latter being about
$500, 100000. When we add the value
of the 2OO,OOO,OOO live fowl in this
country to the value Of the food pro-
duct, we find that it amounts to $1,-
600 100000. All the personal wealth
of the United States on Jan. l, 1897,
amounted to $61 6S9, 900, 900, and thus
81 in every $50 is in the poultry yard.
We were compelled to import from
Canada and Europe last year over 32,-

decade we have paid for imported eggs
over $50 100000, besides which we inn

of money should never be allowed to
leave our own land.-W. G. Trade.
