A GREAT SNOW STORM.

Alanson Luce of this city who has
reached the age of eighty-seven years
tells an interesting story concerning a
great snow storm which occurred just
sixty-nine years ago Thursday. Mr.
Luce was then young man in Stowe,
and he says that on the night of May
14th, 1884, the snow began to fall in
the evening and continued until day
light covering all this section with
snow to the depth of from one to two
feet. He says that crops had been
planted and that in some places corn
was up, and the apple trees in bios
som, but although the snow remained
during the two following days there
was no frost and no damage to crops
or fruit. Mr.. Luce relates that on the
day following the storm he went up
on East hill at Stowe, to get the sheer
and lambs and found them curled uI
under the fences and trees.

WHY LIQUID KIDNEY REM

Alcohol NeutTa|izGS All Effects
Of Drugs.
Kidney Wort Tablets Cure. Con-
tain No Alcohol.

Plenty of people know that alcohol
is the worst thing they can take when
their kidneys are disordered. yet they
swallow large quantities of the cheap
est possible alcohol without being
aware of it when they take liquid kid
ney remedies.
Alcohol is used in large proportion
in liquid kidney remedies to enable
them to keep.
Besides the direct harm to the kid
neys from alcohol, any good effect the
remedy may have is neutralized, max
ing the liquid kidney remedy useless
and harmful.
The following letter from E. M.
Montague, who had tried two of these
LIQUID kidney remedies and received
no benefit, and who then took Kidney
Wort Tablets, n specific for the kid
neys that contains no alcohol, shows
the inestimable superiority of kid
ney remedy that requires no alcohol
over those that will not keep without
it:

DIYORCE IN RUSSIA.

Divorce is difficult in Russia, both
by reason of the laws delay and the
cost of action, but the annulment of
marriage for informality is simple and
easy. In some parts of the empire the
marriage service is enacted with this
contingency in view. The certificates
may be left undated. or the ages of
the contracting parties omitted. In
some parts of Little Russia a relative,
during the ceremony, gives the bride
slap, to prove in case of need that she
has married under compulsion. Women
who succeed in obtaining separation
from their husbands on the ground of
informality are received into society,
are allowed to marry again, and may
even be separated again without loss
of position.

GERMAN CARE OF BIRDS.

A correspondent of "The London

their towns During the winter shell
tiers from the snow are erected in pub

them, and plentifully supplied with
rood of various kinds, including
mountain ash berries for thrushes and
blackbirds and other seeds for smaller
birds. This mixture is sold at very
cheap rate in shops for the purpose.
In springtime one may see many birds
nesting in special wooded boxes placed
in the higher trees, out of the reach
of cats. The boxes are of various sizes,
to suit starlings, sparrows or tomtits
