Training Russian Policemen.

There is a policemen's college in st.
Petersburg to train applicants for the
force. There is a museum combined
with the school where the pupils make
themselves familiar with the tools of
criminals-jimmies, drills, chisels and
contrivances for robbing collection
boxes, a special field of Russian
thieves. The Russian passport system
is studied in detail. The duties Of the
dvorniks, sort of assistant police. are
taught. They keep watch on the resi-
dences, report ON the habits of tenants
their visitors, examine the papers of
newcomers and direct them to report
themselves at the police station. The
members of such a clever and compli-
Gated system need careful instruction.

A frightful accident happened at the
bury Feb. ,. A lady patient, Mrs.

bath in the fifth hall. Miss Alma
Wheelock, the charge nurse In Ward
No. G, had filled the tub with water, but
it seems had forgotten to turn off the
hot water when it had reached the right
temperature.
She left the hall for few moments
and Mrs. Perry, who was supplying or
ward six from one of the other halls
was assisting in the bathing.
As Mrs. Bennett was quite a difficult
patient to manage in preparing for d
bath, Mrs, Perry did not notice the
condition of the water in the tub, ano
put the patient in the tub of water thai
was at nearly boiling temperature
and before she was able to get out, the
patient was terribly scalded on her legs
and back, so that she is reported as being
in a critical condition.
Miss Wheelock was considered an eX
cellent nurse. Mrs. Perry had beer
employed at the institution for abou
six months and came from Enosburgf

Paine'S
Celery Compound
Was Used and Effected Wonderful and
Glorious Cure.

Paine's Celery Compound comes to the
aid of suffering humanity when the best
efforts of physicians prove fruitless-
when hopeless men and women are pro-
nounced incurable. The grateful and
happy testimony of Mrs. j. G. Mack, of
Clear Lake, Wash, maintains the claim
that, "Paine's Celery Compound makes
sick people we'll" Mrs. Mack says =
"Several years ago / was stricken with
nervous prostration, and two doctors de-
clared that no medical skill could ever
cure me. One of your books came into

What TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kimer's Swamp
Root the great kidney remedy fulhlls every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use OF liquor
wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
