white people were constantly applying for

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or 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.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get
up many times during the night. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a

A Race of Tailed Men.

Africa is continent rich in tailed
men myths. There is supposed to be a
caudate race of pygmies somewhere in
the uplands of Abyssinia. The Main
Mains are a celebrated case. A good
many years ago the French government
dispatched NJ Descouret with instruc-
tions to explore some of the least known
parts of Africa and to ascertain the ex-
act degree of truth in the various stories
about the Main Mains. He describes
the people as being mostly under five
feet in height, i'll proportioned, thin,
weak and ugly. with short. woolly hair
and with an external elongation of the
vertebral column. which, he says, ''in
every individual, male or female, forms

HOW is 1T.

Congressman Hit has written an
article for the New York Independent
on 'How is it with the Republic?"
He concludes that it is well; that we
are still clinging to the traditions of
the fathers, and carrying out the
principles upon which the nation was
founded. One can easily sympathize
with this statement, and believe We
are not in serious danger; but to say
there is no cause whatever for dis
quietude,is careless braggadocio. 1t is
a fact in science that new condi-
tions develop new organs and new
functions. 1t is quite certain that this
nation is facing new conditions.
Commerce and invention have actually
changed the structure of society. The
sewing machine, the fast steamship,
the dynamo, the steel producing pro-
cess, the trust, are creating new set
of functions. The wider scope of hui
man effort, has developed new
aims has new purposes, new ideas,
new faiths. Life is more
complex. The simple lines of duty are
being covered with learning, art,
invention, so that even the conscience
inclines to grope. Materialism, prac-
tical atheism and political depravity
are phases of this new tendency. Fash
ionable society is formulating chris
tianity of its own. Political service
has dwindled to personal servitude.
The concentration of industries into
trusts carries new social tendencies
with it-a concentration of ideas in the
direction of the same selfish aims. We
don't see our way out of all this mys-
terious situation. 1t is highly probable
there will be trouble before we do get
out. Indeed, the present outlook does
reveal signs of it; but after all, that
trouble means progress, just as the
revolutionary war and the rebellion
meant a new and better career. Our
republic is founded on the right doc
trine. 1t has not yet wholly worked
itself into national life, but it will, and
in the next quarter of a century, there
will be new birth, and then, the
question "How is it with the Republic?'
can be answered, sit is well;' and not
till then.-Ironton Register.

I found them in book last night,
These withered violets,
A token of that early love
That no man e'er forgets.
Pressed carefully between the leaves,
They keep their color still.
/ cannot look at them today
Without an old time thrill.
All, me, what tricks does memory playi
The passing years have fed
And hopes that lived in vigor once,
Alas! have long been dead.
And this is all that can say,
When all is said and done,
Those flowers remind me of some girl

Flashed in diamonds from our oars.
Tender eyes and loving glances
Fall upon the merry rowers.
Evening shadows fall in silence,
Mystic fancies fill the brain,
Music, softened by the waters,
Charms us with its sweet refrain.

Stilled the story of the swain,
Lovers sit in sweeter silence,
Hills and echoes catch the strain:
Songs Of love and tender story,

There comes floating to us yet,
Softest strains OF sweetest music
From the dear old clarionet.
Dear old Ad., the merry twinkle
OF his eyes, we see them yet,
And the sweetness of his music
We can nevermore forget.
We have changed, but not the picture
OF the happy long ago,
Nor the vision of the valley
