Brick Dust in Urine
An Unmistakabie Sign of
Kidney Disease.
Two Bottles of Kidney-Wort
Tablets Completely Cure.

Brick dust" deposit in the urine is
warning that cannot be mistaken.
"Brick dust" is the sediment that forms
when the urine is allowed to stand. 1t
proves that sediment has lodged in the
urinary passage and is being formed
into concrete substances know as
gravel"
Pains in the back. hips, and groin,
sleeplessness, and stomach arrangements
are symptoms which sometimes, but not
always, accompany this danger signal
"brck dust"
Time is precious if the "brick dust"
sediment is there, whether the stone
has begun to form or whether it is still
in the form of sediment in the urinary
canals. DR.. Pettingil's Kidney Wort
Tablets are positive specific for
gravel" stone, and "brick-dust." A
rapid and certain cure is guaranteed any
one who will use KidneyWort Tablets
and nothing else. 1t is useless to eX-
pect a cure when liquid kidney remedies,
that, as a rule, contain alcohol, are taken
at the same time with Kidney Wort
Tablets In the advanced stages, more
slowly but Just as surely, Kidney Wort
Tablets, by their direct action on the
urine, cause a disintegration of the
stone, which crumbles and passes out
with the water.
If you have any doubt about what
Kdney-Wort Tablets can do, read the
following:

Bradstreet' Vermont Report.


Advices to Bradstreet's indicate that
the season for maple sugar is practically
ended and the crop will be small and the
quality about fair. During the past
week the farmers have been active in
preparation for spring work; consider
able ground has been plowed but seeding
has not been done to any extent Owing
to the high water in many places the
land is too wet to admit of planting, and
it will be two weeks or so before favor
able conditions will be obtained. The
manufacturers generally are busy, ac-
tivity being noted in the granite marble
and slate quarries; also in the lumber
and creamery business. The roads are
improving and this means an improved
retail trade Collections, while still
somewhat tardy, are perhaps a little
improved from last week. Much gene
raj interest has been aroused by the de-
cision in the case at law of manufac
turer at Rutland against a labor union
for damages growing out of strike
against the manufacturer The strikes
against the brush factory at Burlington,
and the machine shops at Rutland are
still unsettled but these difficulties do
not directly affect many workmen.
Burlington reports business well
maintained among the manufacturers
and jobbers The mills are busy and the
prospects are favorable for a large
amount of building the coming season.
1t is understood that the labor organ
ization controlling the workmen in the
lumber districts have decided not to
strike. Retail trade is fair. The high
water in the Lake continues to be an
annoyance, but does not cause much
damage.
The mills are reasonably busy at Ben
nington and business conditions there
are normal; retail trade and collections
are fair.
At North Bennington the stereoscope
and furniture factories are well en-
ployed and business in general is
good.
Business conditions are unchanged at
Rutland Manufacturers are ordinarily
busy and retail trade is satisfactory.
The wood working plants at Essex
junction are running well and opera
tons at the brick yard will soon COM
mence.
st. Johnsbury reports all the manu-
featuring plants well employed; retail
trade and collections good.
The furniture and other factories at
Richford are doing WELL retail trade is
brisk, collections fair
The chair factory at Ludlow is busy,
as are other manufacturing concerns
there; retail trade is good.
Montpelier reports unchanged condi-
tions in the granite and other lines
Business at this point is satisfactory in
all lines.
The manufacturing interests at Brat
tleboro are well occupied retail trade
and collections fair.
POultney reports the slate business
very active, difficulty being experienced
in securing men to work in the quarries,
which are worked to the full capacity
considering the present force. Lumber
business is also said TO be good: retail
trade is very active, collections salts

has caused the only unfavorable cOndi-
tiOns, and those are bad roads which
interrupt shipments.
Bellows Falls reports the condition of

A FLEETING VISION OF MERCURY.

On Sunday, the 18th, Mercury reached its
longest elongation eastward from the sun,
hence was visible an evening STAR to
any one sufficiently interested to make
little effort, which few persons other than
astronomers trouble themselves to do. Mer-
curry is therefore seldom seen, especially by
city jewellers. Twenty-eight degrees dis
tant from the sun, Mercury's longest jour-
ney through the overwhelming brilliance
that obscures most of it's lightweight days
whirl is not very long range, and to the
rest of us-wheeling afar on widely-trav-
eled spheres-Mercury seems as young,
unsophisticated child clinging close to its
mighty parents knees. Ever-enduring
youth and beauty and rarity combine to
make this appearance an event.
In the sunset glow, then, just peeping
over the edge of the earth's horizon, must
this elusive, skipping little orb be sought.
Through clear path to the sky, between
hillside and river seemed a favorable out
look Jupiter cleaned high i'm the light
hard blue western sky. but it was yet too
early to descry Saturn's paler light below
Just on level with the telephone wires
Mercury flashed out. Such vision of
purest radiance repaid amply for tingling
fingers. 1t glowed like a splendid topaz in
the lurid red, which seemed to impart and
receive again a thin veil of its own agi-
tated warmth of hue as the planet rapidly
retreated toward the hidden sun. Between
it and the spectator shivering on the side
walk twilight softened the outline of a
cornfield and tiny cottage with a solitary
chimney. AS Mercury appeared amid the
corn stacks all his flashing light was gone,
and it might have been distant hearth
fire, awaiting the return of some house
holder too long delayed in the cleaning.
Later it might have been the glowing en-
Der of a laborer vending his way toward
the dark cottage, then was gone 1t was
only half-past 5, and Jupiter and Saturn
sparkled on serenely above. The dull red
had disappeared with Mercury, and now a
voice from the cottage loudly hailed the
three clean little darby girls who had gig
gled and whispered all this while at the re-
markable behavior of this person who had
attended the passing of Mercury and de-
manded that they should come at once and
trim the lamps and get their night water
Are there chores on Mercury?

"THE INDIANS FRIEND,

On West jefferson street i'm the city of
Louisville Ky. is an ancient cemetery prob
ably not paralleled in the United States as
to it's shattered tombstones and neglected
graves. An open highway for pedestrians
is maintained across the burial ground
and other footpaths in constant use run
between the broken-down old vaults and
ragged mounds in many directions. At one
edge of the cemetery a small red brick
house is occupied by a caretaker, but as
no funds are applied by the city for the
maintenance of the grounds in respectable
condition all the custodian can do is to
guard the lot in daytime as best he can.
BY night loafers and vandals of all kinds
work their riotous will among the battered
and dsgraced memorials of the dead. Re-
Gently an Indiana visitor to this discredited
old graveyard noticed near the path an old
limestone slab broken in three pieces, lying
on a sunken grave. On one of the frag-
ments of the tombstone three words-''The
Indians Friend"-stood out prominently
and attracted attention. The visitor turned
the pieces of gravestone over and fitted
them together to decipher the following
partially ilegible inscription:
REV. Isaac Mccoy. Born 1871. Died 1886.

to the civil and religious Improvement of
the aboriginal tribes of this country. He
projected and rounded the plan of their
colonization-their only hope and the i'm
perishable monument of his wisdom and
benevolence.
1.-The Indians friend, For them he toiled
through life,
For them in death he breathed his (earn-
esD prayer;
Now from his toll ne rests-beyond the
strife
And waits in heaven his works to follow
there"
The dishonored burial place of Isaac Nc
Coy should be more than local theme:
the Nation should be interested in a prop
erly protected memorial to the forgotten
man whose efforts colonized the American
Indians. II the city OF Louisville or the
State of Kentucky has no interest I'm the
matter patriotic outsiders may be prompted
to action in honoring the dust of THE In

social estate of her husband. Though not
a noble by birth. Lady Emily became one
by marrying a noble, and her children are
so likewise.
REFORMS BY THE EMPRESS.
AS Lady Emily the wife of the Korean
ruler worked hard for her heather sisters,
but clothed with the full power of an En-
press. she hopes to procure their emanci-
patton from virtual bondage. 1t is reported
here that Empress "Om" will cause her
husband to abolish the law that makes the
wife her husbands legal property, on whom
claim, if the man persists in keeping her.
Nowadays. If she escape, he may use force
to bring her back to his house.
AS a mater of fact, Korean women of
the day have moral existence. She is
neither mans companion nor equal. The
unfaithful wife, or the woman returning
without the husbands permission to her
fathers house, may be led before the mag
istrate. who. after administering beating
with the paddles, gives her as servant to
one of his underlings. These and similar
brutal laws, or customs grown into laws,
the American Empress will seek to abolish
to build up the new woman a new foun-
Acknowledgment and comparative free
dom. At the same time, more general re-
forms of social habits will be attempted.
Nowadays Korean men, If they want to en-
joy themselves. seek the society of their
male neighbors, while the women, on their
part, unite together for local gossip. In the
higher classes, when a young woman ar
rives at manageable age. no man, except
her nearest of kin, is allowed to see or
speak to her. These are the exact condi-
lions that Peter the Great had to fight
when he set out to drag Russia out of the
clutches of Asiatic barbarism.
these contemplated reforms will have
the tendency of bringing Korea nearer to
the progressive nations that rule the
world" say the Japanese papers. But En-
press ON has even more far-reaching
plans. 1t is claimed that she is dreaming
of reconstructing, to some extent at least,
the political position of her adopted coun-
try. Korea" she says in the introduction
to a book on Great Deeds by Men and
Women of the Hermit Natian,'-"though
few know it nowadays-Korea was once a
vast and fourishing country that dictated
laws TO China and Japan. Indeed, in the
sixteenth century these empires were trib-
utary to the court of Seoul"
And to back up her claim of bygone Prov
ess Lady Emily reproduces in the book Just
published picture of the first iron-clad
man-of-war that ever sailed to sea. The
vessel was neither English, Spanish, Portu-
guese or Dutch. The Korean Yisumsin
built and commanded her. and in the year
of our Lord 1856 destroyed with her aid a
vast Japanese fleet bound for China and
| bent on conquering that empire, then under
Korean rule. And this Korean iron-clad OF
the sixteenth century had batteries throw
ing bombs and explosives, "just as our
iron-clads have to-day" says the imperial
| authoress proudly.
| After all. there may be some good in
! Korea, and it would be curious indeed if the
| American Empress would not drag it out OF
her. HENRY DICKSON.
