Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working IN; pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were to- be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

Sometimes there are fabulously large
fees paid to attorneys for services which
seem trifling in comparison but it is
only sometimes, not always, that such
fees are paid, says the Milwaukee Sentl-
mel. The boy who is educated for the
law, who thinks that within q year after
he hangs out his single he will have
a practice which will insure him a COM
petence, will find that he is up against
an entirely different proposition when he
enters on his chosen career.
Even the old. lawyers do not always
get cash fees, and the stories of queer
fees that have been paid to Milwaukee
lawyers alone would fill q volume Bur-
glars loot, farm produce, labor of all
descriptions, almost everything gin
able, would appear on the list.
The story of a fee told by one young
lawyer is one of the kind where law

A visitor was in the bachelors den Of
the young lawyer, when he noticed an
engraved spoon hanging by a ribbon
among some photographs, as though it
might be a relic of some sentimental
collegians love affair

client one time" said the owner of the

Bradley had been arrested charged with

story I thought he was right and had

Lincoln was not a Republican. He was
a Wing. The Eighteenth congressional
district, In which he lived. was the only
Wing district in Illinois. Lincoln was not
an aboitionist. He was opposed to the
extension of slavery, but he was not in
favor of interfering with the South in its
slavery questions. A squad of Yankees
moved into our town. They were very
bitter anti-slavery advocates. [ often
heard Lincoln denounce and ridicule their
views.

in ST. Cloud en- strange mission. She is
ende ca to find her children Nine
Cloud. She has been bereaVed of her
husband and was making losing fight
against poverty to support ner four
children. Finally, almost worn out by the
struggle, she placed her three smaller
children in the hands OF her brother,
Isreal Pfaff, of this city and hoping
to better her conditions went to Mimi
eapolis to find work. There she found
employment and contributed regularly to
the maintenance of the children until
sickness OVerpOwered her. Pfaff had q
pealed to the city for relief. Judge
Bruerer, or Sept. II, 1891, ordered the
children sent to the state school at
Owatonna. As is the usual custom child
for by the state in good families and this
seems to have been done in this case,
for when Mrs. Usher and her attorney,
Of Seattle, visited the state school in
the early part of the week, she found
the children no longer in the institution.
Mrs. Usher and her attorney, Mr.. Robin
son, spent the day in copying the records
in the case. Mr. Robinson gave out that
amply sufficient 10 care for her children,
and is very anxious indeed TO secure
them, as is evident from the fact that
she came all the way from Seattle to
secure them. .t.sa
1t has been circulated to some extent
that there are hundreds of cases of small
matter is that there is only eleven cases
in all, and those strictly quarantined
in the western part of the city.

the information thus gained. Eight Of
the kindergarten teachers assist Dr.
Howe in making the tests. The tests are
made two days in each week., and ten
children are tested each time. 1t requires
about forty minutes for each individual
One of the most interesting tests Is
that of musical ability. Recent discoy-
cries have demonstrated that many chill
dren are physically Incapable of learn
ing. or understanding music because OF
ITO such children as these, '-Says Prof.
Patrick, musical training is worse than
useless. 1t is cruel" The child who can
distinguish difference of three vih-S-
tons per second in pitch is the excep-
ton. Many children who have had from
one to three years of. piano teaching are
shown to be unable to distinguish differ
ences of from fifteen to thirty vibrations
a second in pitch, which means that they
are altogether unable to appreciate mu-
sic; that is, to comprehend what must

are very great, but the higher class OF
music is wasted upon them.
FEW CASES OF DEFECTIVE EYE
SIGHT. -
DIR. Howe says that she has been sur
prised to find the excellent condition CT
the eyesight of the chi dren. There is
very little defective eysight among the
children tested thus far, and they repre-
sent all classes and ages. Another thing
she has discovered is that chest eXpan-
sion is not necessarily an indication Of
lung power since the chest may be eX-
panded by muscular means and Without a
corresponding imitation of the lungs.
A very interesting and curious problem
is brought out in the muscular tests by
the fact that several children can distin-
guish a greater difference in pitch with
one ear than with the other. If tits is u
brain power, it is asked, does one side Of
the brain act independently of the other
in this respect, CT is the difference in ap-
prehension due to the more delicate con-
Structi0n Of one car as compared with tn:
other?

tests, and the apparatus viii be on eXkibi-

SHE WAS TIRED OF LIFE.
Unknown Woman Commits Suicide
in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 16-A woman
calling herself Gladys Esmond committed
suicide here today. The suicide was care
fully planned. The bed upon which she
was found had been dragged from the
original position in order to bring it in
close proximity to the gas jet. Over the
face of the suicide was a piece of mus
lin, upon which was stitched quantity
Of cotton batting. Fitted upon the gas
jet was paper tube, the other end of
which was under the face covering. The
gas was then turned on. Examination of
the batting proved that it had been sat
urated with chloroform. On the bed and
within easy reach was sharp knife.
The woman was about thirty years OF
age, and it is believed she gave a ficti-
tious name when she rented the room
last Saturday. She was well dressed
and appeared to be CT considerable re-
fnement.
In letter addressed to the coroner,
which was found in the room, the wom-
ar stated that she was an orphan and
usually made her home in Chicago; that
she had been in poor health and was
tired of life.
