DON'T GIVE UP.

to find relief and cure from the myri-
ads Of ills that come from sick kid
neys. You may pass nights of sleep
less tossing annoyed by frequent uri-

toothache or sudden witches and
twinges of backache pain make life a
misery. Perhaps you have nervous
spells, are weak, tired out, depressed.
There is cure for all of this and for
every trouble Of the bladder and kid
neys. Read this case and note it tells
how well the cure was tested.

WORKING UP OR DOWN.
Farm Where Another Fails Abso-
IuteIy. Food for Thought.

Thousands of farmers would like to
be better agriculturists than they are.
They know they are wasting time,
strength and life itself in the process
of farming. They get through one
year just where they begun it, so far
as knowledge, money and practical
experience are concerned. They no.
tice that some about them are out
stripping them in the race, and they
wonder how it is done. They watch,
and finally conclude hat their sue
cessful neighbors were born lucky.
They themselves must have been born
unlucky, or they would succeed as
well as others.
This is a bad way for any man to
get into. The man who comes to
such a conclusion as we have indicat-
ed is to be pitied. There is indeed a
gloomy outlook ahead for him.
The fact is, there are no lucky men
in this world. There is, indeed, no
such thing as luck. The word has
no meaning when used as most of us
use it. But why does one man win,
where another would fail absolutely?
Simply because the one thinks, plans,
acts. 1t is one thing to have a good
farm, well fitted with good machin-
cry, stock, and otherwise well
equipped. 1t is quite another to be
able to carry on that farm SO that
as the years roll by one may see that
he is making progress in the right di-
rection. It used to be said that any
one a be a farmer. 1t is not true,
and never was. To be a farmer in
any right one must be a close
student not only of soils, cattle,
grains, grasses, weather and markets,
but at the same time possess the
quality of mind which enables him to
put what he knows into practice.

A Great system.

A peddler entered one of the skyscrapera

twelfth floor, who appeared on the scene in

to the propelling force as he passed each

JAPANESE MAIDENS.
They Have No independence, But Are
Very Charming in ann and
Appearance.

Marriages in Japan are arranged by
parents, or officious elder brothers,, a
girl having but little control over her
life, and often not seeing her future
lord and master until she meets him
at the altar. There are, however, now
and then, love matches. Dark, almond
shaped eyes,, black hair and olive COM
plexions make all Japanese girls ap.
pear alike. Their great charm lies in
their manner, quiet, reserved, gentle
and kindly. The important part of
their toilet is the couture. The hair is
deliberately arranged twice a week,
and it must stay fixed until the hair
dresser calls again. For fear that the
structure will get tumbled down when
she is asleep, the Japanese, girl dis
penses with pillows and sleeps with a
wooden rest under the back of her
neck, and the head quite unsupported.
Very uncomfortable it must be, but
a japanese girl. like an American girl,
will do a great deal for the sake of ap-
~pearances.
The belle of society in the Flowery
kingdom is she who dates her ances-
try back at least 5000 years. This
is a stronger point than her complex
ion or her figure, of neither of which
can she make very proud boasting. The
average height of a Chinese woman is
about four feet six inches, but in her
trousers and tunics she looks ever
shorter. Curiously enough, the great
est compliment it is possible to pay
a Chinese oma is to tell her she
looks older than she is.

swearing is a mistaken one. He is a
better educated man than the average
artisan.
Several members of a guns crew
are able to work ordinary equations,
while the mathematical knowledge of
many of the warrant officers is by no
means to be despised. Improvement

slang.
For instanee, sardines are called
Sharks" a spoon is "gibby," a blue

is the stringy mutton served out from

According to the editor of the Blue
jacket and Coastguard Gazette, there
is a certain class of names in the ser
vice, all of which have their distinc
tive sobriquets. For instance, all
Greens are Sinners" all Clarks mob
bies," all Martins "Pinchers,' all Mil
lers Dusty" The master at arms is
called the "jonty," and his satellites,
the ships corporals, "crushers."
A 'bluejacket never sleeps, but
catches the bird or carries six foot
of planking." A man who is tipsy is
said to be "tin-hatted."
To be brass rags is to be the best
of friends, because friends keep their
brass work cleaning rags in a. joint
ragbag. Should the friends quarrel the
bag owner throws his partners rags
upon the deck; hence "raggies' are
friends, and rag" is a term of en-
dearment.

some RaId Truths.
From the New York Press

from the new YORK RfeSS.
Its a queer thing said the barber,
"but you will find as many if not more
bald headed men among lawyers than
in any other profession. That seems to
knock out the theory that the wearing
of tight-fitting hat causes badness,
because lawyers have their hats of
more than the ordinary man.
About the only time they wear their
hats is on the way to and from the
office to court. In the office their hats
are always off, as they are in court.
But it seems to do no good. l notice
that my legal customers begin to get
bald early. It's the same thing with
DOCTORS who make q few necessary
calls, then sit all day in their offices.
Their hats are off most of the time,
yet they get bald early, too.
Then there is another funny thing
did you ever see bald laborer or
common workingman? Well, / never
did, and they all take off their hats
when they come in here. / don't believe
it's because one class is of brain work
ers and the other of manual workers;
/ think it is for another reason en-
tirely. l don't like to throw down my
own business, but l believe profess
sional men get bald because they take
too much care of their hair, and have
it shampooed and bruised and combed
and cut all the time, while the work
ingmen have no time for such over
cultivation. The result is that they
grow a shock, while the others grow
bald"

FIRES AND FARM HOUSES.
President EGan of the Central Says
Hearths should BE Wide.

HeurthS SnOuIu Be W1Oes
Throughout the length and breadth
of the state" said President John M.
Egan of the Central Railway yester-
day, "as one travels by the railways
he is impressed by the need of some
state officer, an inspector, whose duty
it should be to see that farmhouses are
constructed with due regard for their
safety. Rising from the ashes of what
were once comfortable homes, tall
chimneys point heavenward, silent
sentinels, overlooking broad acres that
were once owned and cultivated by
the dweller in the destroyed home.
ut is surprising to see so many of
these chimneYs. 1t is clear that there
must be some reason for the seemingly
many fires in the country. The trou-
BILE is that the farmers do not exercise
the proper precautions. They should
use Tenders about their fire places.
Manv of them do not. They should
have the brick hearths extend we'll out
from the fireplaces, but many builders
are content to allow width of only two
or three brick. Pine wood is burned,
and the fire pops out upon the floor.
The fires are left unnoticed, being left
burning when there is no one in the
room and, sometimes, when there is
no one in the house. 1t is no wonder
that there are so many fires.
Few of the farmers insure their
houses. They should do so, but they
do not. There is no fire protection.
1t would be we'll if some specifications
as to hearth construction were fixed
and builders required by law to COM
ply with them
