Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to de-
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
{ he hollow cheeks, the suuken eyes,
the dark, ruffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow parsnip- colored complexion
indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trou-
Bile, desire to uriuate often, or burn
ing or scalding in passing it; if after
passing there is an unsatisfied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated. or if
the urine has brick dust deposit or
strong odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing
the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, Inflammation, causing
stDppage, and sometimes requiring
the drawing OF the urine with instru-
ments, OF may run into Bright's dis
ease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.

A Noted EmbaImer Dead.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun on
Sunday, says:
James II. Hanrick. aged 70 years,
died last night near Parsons, w. Va.
He was famous because of his knowl
edge of embalming, having, it is
claimed. revived the Egyptian pro
cess. His modest home was visited
by scientific men, who wondered al
his art of preserving, which he claim
ed to have found from the Bible, but
he guarded his secret and died leaving
it untold. In his house were several
mummies preserved almost as natural
as life, the bodies having been secur-
ed from public institutions ten wears
ago. They are in glass cases. A ne
gro's head, secured in 1900 from a
Cincinnati medical college. is exposed
on PLAGUE, the beard and flesh be-
ing soft and pliable. About the ex-
terror of the house and on trees are
preserved birds and squirrels, while
here and there in the yard is snake
coiled up as If to attack, all properly
embalmed.

Jealous of Their Sons.

Now and then one finds a civil war
veteran who is jealous of honors that
are being heaped upon the young SOL
diers of the past summer. They can
see no reasons for the Hobsonian
demonstrations with which every re-
turning hero is received. They init
mate that they are not too old to re-
ceive few more kisses themselves,
and ask: What have these young
scamps done?"
Then they will answer their own
question and tell you that they did
nothing. absolutely nothing, compared
with what the soldiers of '6I-'65 did
They wonder why somebody did not
think about raising a rumpus about
the beet they did not get at all; why
the press and people did not grumble
at the lack of quinine and cots while
they were soldering.
Why bless these old veterans, the
heroes of more bloody fields and hard
fought battles than the young soldier
OF 90 ever even dreamed of, it is but
their sons or their sons sons that are
reaping this bountiful harvest of
praise. And praise is about all they
get for their months of ditch digging
and camp building in the rain soaked
camps of the South or in foreign lands
There are but few of them who can,
in years to come. tell of experiences
on bloody battle fields or forced
marches. But few years and our
little quarrel with Spain will be for
gotten, and the men who volunteered
to fight, and dug bitches instead, will
be but ordinary citizens to whom a
war record will be unknown.

Those were busy days which the
Healer and His party spent. His
twelve followers had returned from
their circuit Of healing and preaching.
and there was much to tell Jesus oil
what they had done. He called them
away into the desert to rest. for SO
many people were coming and going
that they had no time even to eat.
So they got boat ready quickly
and went away secretly, but the peo-
pie saw them going and ran out of the
cities to follow them. And so Jesus
and His disciples could not have the
quiet time that they needed. for when
they came to the desert place across
the lake of Galilee. great crowd had
already collected to hear Him. When
He saw the multitude, He was moved
with compassion, for they were as
sheep without shepherd. and He
taught them and healed their sick.
He was the good Shepherd, who has
prepared the good fold for all who
will believe in Him. and He told them
many things about His love and care.
When evening came His disciples
asked Him to send the multitude
away, but Jesus said to feed them.
Andrew sad there was lad present
who had five loaves ard two small
fishes, but what were they among SO
many people?
Jesus said. Make the men sit
down" And when they had sat down
on the grass, He took the loaves and
gave thanks, and the disciples dis
tributed them to the hungry people.
Imagine their wonder as the bread
which was only enough for five per
sons was handed to every one of those
five thousand men. besides women
and children; and when they had
eaten heartily there was enough left
to fill twelve baskets.
The multitude was very much ex.
cited about this wonderful miracle aud
said, This is of a truth the Prophet
that should come into the world
They began to talk about making Him
king instead of cruel Herod, but when
Jesus saw it He persuaded His disci
pies to cross the lake, while He sent
the multitude away; then He went
alone into the mountain to pray.
When storm arose on the lake and
the disciples were in danger of being
drowned. He came to them walking
on the boisterous waves in the night,
and Peter getting permission walked
on the water to meet Him. But as
Peter began to sink, he cried out in
terror. Lord, save me- and imme-
diately Jesus put out His hand and
caught him Then Jesus quieted the
storm and the waves.
