DAILY FRESHETS.
Regularity of Rising ana Falling OF
the Rivers and Streams in
Alaska,

To most people who live In the tenn
perate zones, the annual freshets oc-
casioned by the melting of the winter
SHOWS and by the unusually heavy rains
Of spring are a matter of familiar OBJ
servation. Under higher latitude and
in the neighborhod of glaciers, other
phenomena are to be studied. An Eng
lish traveller in Alaska has the follow
ing to report about the rivers of that
country, says Youths Companion:
The Takheena, like most streams Of
glacial origin, was subject to daily
rise and fall. The distance OF it's
sources caused the water to increase
in volume and in swiftness from noon
to midnight, after which it continued
to-aecrease from midnight to noon.
The daily rise measured from six to
ten inches, according to the heat Of
the weather; the daily fall measured
from five to eight inches during the
time the fine weather lasted.
After a few days of cloudy, rainy
weather, l found the river falling from
day to day about as fast as it had risen
during the fine weather.
1T Is worthy of remark that during
fine weather I invariably found the
wind during the daytime in the Chilcat
valley blowing up from the sea. 1t
began in the forenoon with gentle
breeze. which gradually increased to
a smart gale, that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind, or else it blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment of the atmosphere no doubt has
much to do with producing the regular
daily rise and fall of the river.

You are in no danger Of being sick II
you keep your kidneys well.
They filter your blood, keep 1t pure
and free from disease breeding germs.
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do
most.
II you are sick, begin with your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well
they will help all the other organs to
health.
The treatment Of some diseases may
be delayed without danger, not SO with
kidney disease.
Swamp-Root is the great medical tri-
umph Of the nineteenth century; dis
covered after years of untiring effort
and research by the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, DR.. Kilmer, and
has truly wonderful healing action on
the kidneys and bladder.
1t will be found by both men and
women just what is needed in all cases
of kidney and bladder disorders, lame
back, dull pain or ache in the back,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, neuralgia. uric acid trou-
bles and Bright's Disease, which Ia the
worst form of neglected kidney trouble.
Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold
water and promptly overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to 60 often during the day and TO get
up many times during the night.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char

as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to he ex'

This was not, however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot OF Grim
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction OF such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch OF
culprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
"In consideration OF the youth and in.
experience OF this prisoner shall let him of
with fine OF $50"
Before the judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man cooily stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
poke, on one side, remarking nonchalantly
ns he did so:
"That's all hunky, judge; I've got that
