A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer. but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure 1t so it will stay cured. 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it.
Mr.. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm
street, Amesbury, Mass, says: Mrs.
Smith, from cold which settled in her
loins, suffered so severely from backache
that she was unable to attend to the or
binary household duties, often finding it
impossible to even make bed for three
months. 1 had read great many state
ments of residents of Amesbury who pos
itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured them of backache and other
symptoms of kidney complaint. This led
me to make some inquiries, and as O re-
suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course
of the treatment. 1t cured her. 1t is so
long ago that am confident the results
are permanent. We never lose an oppor-
tunity of advising Others who suffer from
either weakened or over-excited kidneys
to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we
know of scores in and around Amesbury
who have taken our advice and were not
only surprised but gratifed at the bene-
fits received"

lights had been turned on, and it was
getting on in the evening. A soft rain
was falling outside, and the big pines
were sobbing the approach of a heavy
storm. Stuart was sitting at the big
table in the dining room with plans
scattered about, and Rhena was walk
ing up and down. her face alive with
enthusiasm over some great idea, when
the bell rang.
Something about the sound of 1t
caused Stuart to rise and go to the door
himself. AS he flung it open the wind
blew fine mist of rain into the hall
along with the fragrant odor of the
dripping pines. But he was conscious
of only one thing.
There on the stone steps lay a wom-
ans form, and he knew as he stopped
and lifted her that his sister had re-
membered what he said such a cruelty
brief time before. He carried her into
the chamber where his father had died
and laid her on the same bed. As he
did so and as Rhena gently threw back
the wet fold of a cloak which lay
across the face Louise moved and then
opened her eyes and looked up at Stu
art and Rhena. They will never forget
that look. 1t told them as plainly as
words that Louise had come home to
die

I'd as soon live with the devils wife as
with her, and no mistake, begging par
don if she is your relative"
Stuart clinched his hands tightly, and
in his heart he uttered groan.
There stood Aunt Royal, her face
flaming. She had come into the hall
through a side door right behind the
servant. How much Of the mans story
she had heard Stuart could not tell, but
it was enough to let her know that Stu
art at last knew.
'It's a lie, a miserable liep' she scream
ed. 1t was the only time Stuart ever
saw her in a passion. He had his back
to the door, and for a moment he look
ed her in the face, and then, without
word, he turned around, opened 1t and
walked out. The warm sunshine seem
ed like something almost human as he
closed that door behind him and walk
Ell away. He knew the truth now. AT
last there was no doubt in his MIND
that Louise had been denied shelter
in her greatest need by this society
woman, who would risk hell itself rath-
er than the possible loss of society
standing and her own selfish ease and
pleasure. And that he was right IN
believing the servants story was shown
by after events as well as by items or
news which came to him from various
sources through New York aequaint-

connected series, he managed, before

Going to CanOssa.

The saying 'going to Canossa" refers
to the humiliating pilgrimage made
by the Emperor Henry " to Italy in
the year 1877. Henry had objected to
the claims advanced by Gregory Hide
brand and, refusing to submit, was ex-
communicated by that pontiff. The
emperor at first laughed at the SEN
tence, but took more serious view
when he found himself deserted even
by his personal attendants and resolved
on a journey to Italy to make his peace
with the pope. The latter was then at
the Castle of Canossa, fortress of the
Countess Matilda and situated in the
mountains of Modena. Thither the en-
peror fastened, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrad-
Ing conditions.
The desperate situation of Henry
compelled him to submit, and for three
days and nights, barefooted and bare
headed, clad only in a hair shirt, the
raiment of a penitent, he waited at the
gate. At the end of this fearful pen
ance, which was undergone in the
month of January, he was admitted to
the papal presence, was absolved and
received his dominion as gift from
the pope. The expression has ever
since been current as indicative of
abject submission on any terms i'm
posed by the conqueror.

Use of a Long Breath.

When chilled by exposure to cold,
take a long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires only very short time
to do this. The long breath quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood to
circulate faster. The blood flows into
all parts Of the veins and arteries and
gives out great deal Of heat. 1t is
stated that a long, deep breath. held as
long as possible, will close the pores of
heated skin, and the danger of taking
cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus
guarded against.

To feel in apple pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times to
a certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, so
that Tuesdays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house
hold labors were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibah's apple pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the well known saying.
