Fill a tumbler with urine and let it stand "A hours; if it has sediment, if it is milky or cloudy, discolered or pale; if it is ropy or stringy. your kidneys and bladder are in 8 dangerous condition and you do not need 8 physician to tell you so.
 Kidney diseases should be attended to at once, for almost 90 per cent of our unex- pected deaths of to-day are from that cause.

FARMERS BOYS AND GIRLS CAN GIVE
 THEIR CITY COUSINS POINTS ON fRAC-
 TICAL WORK.
 Your correspondent of to-day attended the state Grange in Hartford the 9th, 10th and 11th of January and was very much interested in the lecture given by Mrs Wheeler of Storrs on Domestic Science" In the course of her lecture she spoke on ''the filth and garbage strewn around the farmers door and that garbage such as potato, apple and other vegetable parings should be burn ed in the kitchen stoVe." Now I should like to ask Did Mrs Wheeler see all this filth and may say corruption around the front or back door of the farmers house or did she see 1t at the home of the cheap rent or tenement house? can truthfully say in ali of my travels and of my many acquaintances, never saw anything worse than swin pail and that had it's place in an outhouse or in shed and always was emptied out to the pigs as soon as the man or men of the house
 
 has the cooking and looking after of the home ia never obliged to burn her garb- age for there is always 'bossY" or the pigs that "consume" all the refuse from the good wholesome meals which she supplies her family with. There are al- so bright, happy, rosy round-faeed chil- dren, the picture of health, that go to school every day from our farms that do not know half of the names of fancy bone and fiber material mentioned in Mrs Wheeler's discourse that will stand their chances in scholarship, athletics, sports of many kinds, or at the milk pail, now ing, hoeing and in the tobacco fields for the boys, and there are some of our girls who will give the ssciensific cook" 6 ''dusty hunt" on getting up good wholesome dinner and enough of 1t, too, and can entertain their friends with 6 piano solo or duet at any time they are invited to do so.-T Mrs Minnie SchnelI, Warren, Conn.

DEATH OF CHARLES B. MINOR.


 To the Editor of THE BEE: Yes, Charlie Is dead. Stricken down in the very prime of life. The fever drank up his life blood and death gained the vic- tory. On Tuesday morning, January 3, the subject of this sketch passed lover the River" to solve the mysteries of the unknown world. Kind, noble, generous, and possessed of an unusually genial and cheerful temperament, which he main- tained in all his walks in life, none knew him but to love and respect him, as the long line of carriages which followed him to his last resting place would testify. The deceased was born in New Milford 40 years ago, but came to Roxbury with his parents to live when & young boy. Therefore we shall the more greatly miss him. When we visit hls late home and see the vacant chair many will be the silent tears that we shed, and when we Ko to the village cemetery and to his lonely lRraVe we shall say: ''Here lies our Charlie, the best friend we had on earth" He leaves heart broken wife, a son, & daughter father and mother, two brothers and sister, besides host of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was attended from his late residence. Rev MT Humphrey read the impressive church service and Rev Mir York offered prayer. The MAsons of King Solomon's lodge, of which our friend was mem- Der, conducted the services at the grave. The pail bearers were George and John Minor, brothers, and George K. and Will liam Barnes, brothers-in-law of the de- ceased.-[C. B. E., Roxbury, January lh 1900.
