LIFE IN COLD COUNTRIES.

Two Minutes for Hot Water to Be
Turned to Ice.
4 Here are some of the experiences
which David T. Hanbury records as
typical of those he first met in Alaska:
'The cold could not be kept out of
even the most palatial examples of
domestic architecture which Dawson
City would at that time boast, but the
author stuck to the cult of the morn
ing tub. After I had melted the pail
of ice on the 'airtight' stove I poured
some of the water two inches deep
into the bathtub, which l had moved
to the rear of the room, where there
was no heat. Not two minutes had
elapsed before threw off my chamois
pajamas in the front room and, open.

the atmosphere had been quicker and
just as | stepped into the tub with
both feet, wrenching with a great
effort the soap from a beam hard by,
I slipped on the newly frozen ice into
the tub and over we went. soap, tub
and myself, all separated in different
quarters Of the room. Those two min,

whittier Are We DrlftiER?

The increase of American divorces
has been remarkably rapid. No longer
ago than 1870 only 3k per cent of
marriages we're dissolved by the courts
In 1900 the percentage was 8, and if
the same rate of increase is kept up
the closing year of the twentieth CEN
fury will find 5S.S per cent of all
American marriages dissolved by the
courts. In other words, the year 1000,
if we go on as we are going, will find
more divorced than married persons
living in the country. The divorces
granted in all other civilized countries
put together do not equal the number
granted in the United States. And
while our population is growing at the
rate of % per cent per annum the num-
Der of divorced persons is increasing at
the rate of nearly 70 per cent per an

They were constantly together and seemed devoted to each other, so that the society colony was not in the least bit surprised when their engagement was announced. Not a single objection was raised against the match and the we'd ding was to take place some time later in the winter or in the following spring. Perhaps the fiance grew impatient or the girl longed for touch of the romantic in her love affair; whatever 1t was, 1t induced the two to arrange meeting in New York, to journey together the same afternoon to a nearby town and become man and wife.
 Then, without saying anything about 1t to any one Miss Barclay proceeded on her way to Tuxedo. where she had plan ned to make visit, and then returned home. still in possession of their secret. So we'll did they keep 1t that no sus- picion was aroused for some time. and then there was family council, a recol- ciliation. or what answered for one, and announcement cards of the wedding were immediately posted to the friends and relatives of both.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms Is the Prime Cause of 80 Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the frst a1bea,unee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- ton of strong men and women, yet they are fraught with potent meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffer ing and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of inca1culable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Prick1y Ash Bitters when the disease is yet incipient will save hundreds in doctors bills, and immeasurable suffer- ing that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally efficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort Gin cases that defed their best efforts) with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in Instances innu- merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having

The stones are laid out in little piles and parcels ma little stand. which may he carried from place to place.
