Danger Signal.

Remember that your kidneys act as the
cesspool of the human body, into which all
the impurities of the system are continually
dumped for publication, and when the kid
neys fail to properly perform their tunc-
tons, it is signal of further complications.
The liver becomes clogged, the blood is
filed with uric acid poison, the heart be-
comes involved, and unless the proper
remedy is applied, your case will soon be
beyond the reach of human skill: !; Smith

Romance OF TIA C0vtmthian Column n.
In the winter young girl had died
in Corinth. Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim
kets and playthings which the girl had
loved and brought them to the girls
grave. There she placed them in /
basket near the monument and put
a large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from overturning it.
1t happened that under the basket was
q root of an acanthus plant. When
spring came, the acanthus sprouted,
but its shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around it, having the basket in their
midst Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top of the
basket curled round Under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day, saw this and i'm
mediately conceived the notion that the
form of the basket with the plaque
on top of ii and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be a comedy heading for columns in ar
chitecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style of CAPT
tai Such, at least. is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told it 1900 years
