j. f. Wainwright, of the firm of
Bones &c Wainwright, painters and
contractors, Pulaski, Va, says: -Four
or five times a year for the
past few years 1 have suffered
with severe attacks of pain in my
back, caused from kidney trouble.
During these spells 1 was in such
misery from the constant pain and
aching that it was almost impossible
for me to stoop or straighten, and it
really seemed as if the whole small
of my back had given away. AT
times I also had difficulty with the
kidney secretions which were dis
colored, irregular and scalding and
was also greatly distressed with
headaches and dizziness. 1 used
a number of recommended rene
dies but ! never found anything so
successful as Doan's Kidney Pills.
When 1 heard of item 1 had an at
tack and procured box of them. In
a few days the pain and lameness dis
appeared, the trouble with the kid
Iey secretions was corrected and my
system was improved generally. I
have every confidence in Doan's Kid
ney Pills"

the large factor it is in the manners,

While the city woman is planning for
her vacation in the country the coun-
try woman is planning for her annual
spring or summer trip to the city.
Some wait until they arrive in the city
to buy clothes, but this 1 consider un-
wise, as the home merchant carries
the same stock as is found in the city,
anG at much the same prices, while
the woman who buys at home has the
advantage of more time for pleasure
when she reaches the city. 1t is for
these women who will visit the city

of mine is possessed of a particularly
nice feeling for chiffons, which accounts
In measure for this importation. The
satin employed is of soft souple quail
fly, and the lace very effective medal
lion patterned guipure in a delicate
ecru tint. The elegance of the stole

be taken for the clever cut of the col

The Penurious CARLYLE,

1t is no drawback for a Christmas
gift to be useful as well as ornamental,
but there is pathos In Carlyle's presen-
tation of washing table to his wife
at Christmas, 1850. At that time he
had long escaped poverty, but could
conceive no more pleasing gift than
this most utilitarian article which he
promised in note which the curious
may still read at his house in Cheyne
row:
The Prophecy of Washstand to the
neatest of all Women. Blessings on her
bonny face and be it ever blithets me, as
1t is dear blithe or not. It. CARLYLE.
Dec. 20, 1850.
This message appears to have been
written in a hurry, as if Carlyle, hear
ing the clocks strike midnight, exclaim-
ed: "God bless my soul! It's Christ
mas day. JEANNE should have a pres
ent. She spoke of a washstand the
other day. She shall have it." And
he forthwith penned the promise there
of. Anyway, he gave five pound
note, and Mrs. Carlyle bought marble
and mahogany washstand. - London

Christmas Declared Illegal.

Although 1t may seem incredible, it is
a fact that not so many years ago
Christmas was considered supersti-
tious festival and was stopped being
held by the strong hand Of the law.
Holly and mistletoe were destroyed
and We're called "the plants Of the evil
one" Cakes and wines We're consid-
cred impious by the superstitious.
When Oliver Cromwell was protect.
or, he ordered all the most important
towns in England not to observe
Christmas, as he considered it to be a
hurtful custom.
Yet a stricter law he commanded to
be kept SO that people might forget
Christmas. That was that all the mar
kets We're to be held on Dec. %.
Naturally this created a great stir
among the country folk, and they de-
termined thenceforth to refuse to obey
his strict and extraordinary law, which
he tried to enforce but all to no pur-
pose,

Running is the great beautifier of fig
ure and movement. 1t gives muscular
development, strong heart action and
free lung play. The muscle comes
where it ought to be, the shoulders go
back, the loins hold the trunk we'll bal
anced. and the feet take their correct
positions. 1t was running which made
the Greek figure. The more active
tribes of American Indians have been
runners from time immemorial, and
from the chest to the heels they are
much more beautifully built than the
average of white men. Running peo-
pie have usually the firm but elastic
texture which is the beauty of flesh.

James G.. Herman says that in the
vast majority of cases kleptomania is a
morbid manifestation of neuroses and
psychoses rather than psychosis by it
self. In many cases Of so called klepto-
mania stealing Is a manifestation Of
viciousness or feeble morality. The ma
jority of cases Of both these forms oc-
cur in the department stores. Bargain
sales" are determining factors of theft.
Women who are neurasthenic, alcohol
ic, opium eaters, hysterical, climacteric
and senile, from so great a weakening
of the WILL fall ready victims to obses-
sions and morbid impulses. The "col-
lector" type of kleptomaniac is as a
rule perfectly responsible. Book
snatching'' is besetting vice of biblio-
maniacs, just as coin and stamp pur-
loining attacks numismatists and phi
latelists. Parisians think it "smart" to
steal sugar and matches from restau-
rants. Not few sane Americans think
it is equally smart to steal rides on
railroads.-Alienist and Neurologist.

The world has read the exaggerated
description of buffalo stampede. but l
don't believe anybody has ever done
justice to the wonderful speed of a buff
falo when lost from the herd and try
ing to catch up, says man of expert
ence. 1t is a deceptive gait. The man
who never saw 1t before would swear
that he could outrun the animal bare
footed. But the fastest horse ridden by
cowboys couldn't catch buffalo when
running alone.
Its marvellous lope, steady and endur-
ing, carries it over the prairie at a
speed that would make race horse lie
down and cry at the end of the first
mile. But the buffalo keeps this gait
up all day, and at night his great
fianks show no signs Of fatigue.

The western branch of the Kennebec
has been given the name Dead river
because in 1775 it was full of drowned
soldiers. So one may read. But there
is not syllable of truth in it. And the
next picture conjured up by the name,
a doleful StyX, turbid and miasmatic,
is equally false. The plain fact is that
the river flows for long distance
through meadows, and unless the wa
ter is high it scarcely seems to move
at all. That is why it has been called
dead. Nothing gloomy belongs to the
name. A delectable and captivating
stream is Dead river.-Century.

Women and store Detectives.

"The very thing that newspapers
want to know about the way detectives
work In big department stores are the
things we don't want to TELL" said
a superintendent when asked about
conspicuous shoplifting arrest. 1--WE
should be glad to dispense with them
altogether, but we can't afford to. A
clever woman will outwit the shrewd-
est store detective that ever walked.
We have to work cautiously or we lose
our trade. If the detective is man
and stares at woman too hard, she
makes a complaint at the desk and
tells other women how she was insult
ed. If the store detective is woman,
she is likely to get fresh l think the
best store detective in New York today
is man who used to be a minstrel
performer. He took the job on trial till
good times came again, but nothing
good enough has come along to tempt
him to give up a $1,000 job, and he is
worth every penny of it."-New York

The Ruling Passion,

A good woman was dying, woman
who had been a true wife and loving
mother, a woman with but one weak
ness-a love of gossip.
Although her time on earth was
short, she was critically watching the
attending physician and the nurse as
they talked In subdued whispers of the
result which their united skill had been
powerless to avert.
In response to the summons of the
dying woman her husband approached
her and bent low to catch the words
which he expected to be words of love.
Again she turned her eyes, from which
the light was fast fading, upon the doc
tor and the nurse as she said family,
"Do you suppose they are engaged?"
These words were her last.

FOUR MATCHED HORSES.
They Were Co1ored Black, Just as
the Dealer Had Said.

They wese Colored Black, just as
the Dealer Had Said.
Lord Mansfield, the famous lord chief
Justice of England, had bitter preju-
dice against horse dealers, which, 1t is
said, had its rise in a bitter disappoint-
ment he had experienced at the hands
of one of them. When he was appoint
ed lord chief justice in 1856 he wished
to have four black horses without a
white hair for his carriage. After con-
siderable difficulty the four black
horses were found and approved, for
they were handsome horses and just
what the lord chief Justice wanted.
The price, Of course, was heavy one;
it always is under such circumstances.
For a time all went well and his lord
ship was well satisfied with his bar
gain. Then one horse began to develop
a white star and another a white fet-
lock and another was disfigured by
white blaze-indeed, in>all of them in
one place or another the hated white
appeared.
The judge sent for the horse dealer
who had supplied the horses and
threatened him with all kinds of pains
and penalties. That worthy, however,
was not in the least put out by the
wrath of the noble lord. He insisted
that he had not misrepresented the
horses on his bill and pointed out on
that document being produced that he
had sold to his lordship four horses
colored black. This of course did
away with any legal proceedings, but
the incident was never forgotten by
Lord Mansfield, who was scarcely ever
known to give horse dealer the bene-
fit of the doubt.-Horseman.

NATIONS AND LAUGHS,
The Various Ways Different Peoples
Have of Showing Mirth.

Have of Showing Mirth.
All the world laughs, though the ma
tons have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the Euro
ter than genuine burst of merriment
There is little character or force in it,
AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages of mirth In the old world. The
Arab is generally a stolid fellow, who
must see good reason for n laugh or be
surprised into it. In Persia man who
laughs is considered effeminate, but
free license is given to female merri-
ment.
One reads of the grave Turk" and
the "sober Egyptian" but 1t is not re-
corded that they have never moments
of mirth, when the fez bobs or the veil
shakes under the pressure of some par
ticularly good thing" In Mohammed
himself Christian writer's have noticed
cordiality and jocoseness, and they say
there is a good ringing laugh in the
prophet, with all his seriousness.
An American traveller in Europe re-
marks the Italian mirth as languid, but
musical, the German as deliberate, the
upper class English as guarded and not
always genuine, the lower class Eng
lish as explosive the Scotch of all
classes as hearty and the Irish as roll
licking.

A STRANGE FUNERAL.
Burial of an Elephant by Elephants
In River Bed.

In IA River Bed.
There Is no doubt that the elephant
is naturally cunning, and the following
extraordinary incident related by a
planter from Ceylon is only another
proof: II went after a herd of eight
elephants" he says. "After stalking
got a chance at the biggest of the herd
and dropped 1t at the first shot. About
two hours afterward had the tail and
feet cut off and taken to the bungalow.
Next morning | went to the spot to
look at the elephant and to my surprise
found no trace of the body. After look
ing round | saw that the herd had been
back during the night, and l soon dis
covered a track where they seemed to
have retired in body. Following this
up, / eventually came upon the dead
elephant lying at the bottom of a rocky
stream. From the tracks it was quite
evident that the body had not been
rolled but carried to the bank, and 1t
was plain that 1t had been taken
through the long grass which grew on
the bank into the stream. My neigh
bors were incredulous until | showed
them where the elephants tail and
feet had been cut off and where the
body lay In the stream, which proved
conclusively that by some means or
other the body had been got over the
intervening space in the night 1t is
difficult to understand how elephants
with their trunks and feet could raise
and support the dead body of a COM
rade. However, they seem to have
managed to do it, and it is a pity no
human eyes saw this strange funeral"

An Eagles Strength.

What tremendous power an eagle ex-
erts when carrying away a lamb that
weighs, say, sixty pounds or over! If
you take the weight of the bird togeth-
er, seventy-six pounds, then it appears
that an eagle can develop more
than two horsepower and must put
strain Of over LOO pounds on the
muscles of the wings, which leads one
to think that birds are stronger than
mathematics"
