kidney trouble,
Kidney tro'4ble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be. traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

posed Of ten grains of corrosive subli-
mate in pint Of distilled witch hazel.

Dressing the Bed.

Whereas the prettiest and most ap-
propriate dress for bed is undoubt-
edly white, there are occasions on
which 1t is desirable to use something
that does not soil so easily. Nothing is
better for the purpose than q pretty
cretonne. The spread may be simply
hemmed and large enough to just es-
cape the floor, unless fiounce is used,
in which case It should come just a
little below the top Of that. If a founce
IL used, It may be gathered or plated
and should be sewed to piece Of
cheap unbleached muslin covering the
springs. The f1ounce is divided at the
corners and bed behind the posts.
Shams are out Of fashion, and instead
the bed is dressed for day use with the
hard, long, round bolster which has
come down to us from Louis Ills
time and which is covered to match
the spread.

TIGER ttARD TO POISON.
Lion Usually Falls an Easy Victs-s
ns lie Eats VOrnciousiy.

Wolves, tigers, leopards and other
carnivora are difficult to poison he
cause of the power which they have OF
rapidly getting rid of the drug. Lions.
on the other hand, are very frequently
poisoned, as they eat voraciously ana
quickly, more like dog than the other
large felidae. 1t is said that good
many lion skins, especially those
brought back by foreign counts and
others from Somaliland before the re-
grettable misunderstanding between
whites and blacks had begun in that
region famous for large game, were
obtained by the unsportsmanlike meth.
cd Of poisoning carcasses and leaving
them for the lions to devour.
Cattle, which have no less than foui
stomachs, are hopelessly poisoned II
once they have swallowed dose
whether in toxic plant or otherwise
1t is this curious arrangement of their
interiors which makes it such diff.
cult matter to give cattle medicine al
all.
In common with human beings, ami.
mails seem to be affected by poison in
certain forms when in particular con.
dition Of health. At other times they
can eat the same plant or shrub with
impunity. In certain states of health
q man can eat pork, Holsters, cookies,
scallops and other somewhat risky
foods without bad effects. At other
times the same edibles would produce
on him the effect Of ptomaine poison.
ing. Two persons may eat Of the same
food at the same time, and while one
Is perfectly well afterward the other
may become violently Ill.
The curious cases Of yew poisoning
among cattle or horses seem to be
somewhat analogous. They will some
times browse on shoots Of yew and
take no harm whatever. At other
times they are obviously made very
Ill or die from eating the leaves. They
have even been found dead with the
yew fresh and undigested in their
stomachs.
In any great numbers in herbage II
seems quite impossible to prevent cat
tie from eating them.
Birds seem to have no discrimination
whatever in regard to poisons, prob
ably because they have almost no
sense of smell and swallow their food
without masticating it. Such intelii-
gent birds as rocks will pick up and
eat poisonous grain, and crows and
ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or
meat.
Chickens will eat the poisonous seeds
Of the laburnum and die from the eff
fects. Whether birds such as tits and
green finches ever do so does not seem
to be known, but wild birds are fire.
Quently found dying in gardens, though
apparently they have been In good
health a few hours before, and their
death may probably be due to the con.
sumption of poisonous seeds.-Chicago

WORSE EVERY YEAR.
Plenty of Owosso Readers Have the
Same Experience.


Don't neglect an aching back.
1t will get worse every year.
Backache is really kidney ache.
To cure the back you must cure the
kidneys.
If you don't other kidney ills follow
Urinary troubles diabetes, Bright's
disease.
An Owosso citizen tells you how
the cure is easy.
Mrs. Tohn Come, of 1873 West Main
street, say: For two years | was con-
stantly troubled with pains through my
loins and kidneys 1t gradully became
so bad that at times l could scarcely
stoop and to lift anything heavy hurt
my back badly. | could not rest CON-
fortably at night in any position and
arose in the morning thoroughly tired
out and exhausted. / never succeeded
in getting any medicine to relieve me

ing their use that / was completely

THE SlCKROOM.
Where Womanly Gentleness, Tact
and sympathy Are Necessary.


and sympathy Are Necessary.
There is hardly any place where gen.
uine kindness goes so far as In caring
for the sick. Although there are a
great many grumbling invalids, there
are also just as many invalids who ap-
preciate what is already being done
for them and hesitate to ask further
favors. The nurse who is ever ready
to find out through tact and judgment
exactly what the patient really needs
or desires can make herself q veritable
angel. The person who does and says
kind things in an abrupt manner, as If
she wanted merely to clear her con-
science, is entirely out of place in the
sickroom. TO be the right kind Of
nurse you must honestly want to be of
help.
1t has been said that good nurse is
bern, not made, and certainly it does
seem as If some people have q natural
gift In this direction. They are many
admirable women-sometimes they are
even dOctors-who make abominable
nurses. They understand all the in
tricacies of the disease in question and
give the best treatment and medicine
for the case, but they completely lack
all the gentleness, tact and sympathy
that soothe and help a sick person.
Though their intentions are excellent,
they do what they know Is best for
you as If it was disagreeable duty
and you were repellent to them.'
Other women have a nervous, over
officious manner which wears upon a
patient though it is not nearly so In
furious as the other fault.-New York
Tribune.

GRACEFUL DANCING.
Some Poses Tint Should he Avoided
and a Bit of Advice.

Nothing is more graceful than a
young woman who can dance grace
fully. Nothing is more awkward than
a woman who is not dainty about
dancing.
The woman who dances with her
nose out of shape against her partners
coat sleeve is not graceful. The wom-
IN who dances with her chin resting on
his shoulder is no more attractive. The
woman who lays her cheek lovingly
against the mans arm is not good to
look upon. The woman that permits
man to fling her across the dancing
hall is not wise nor is she graceful.
Women endure much ut the hand Of
Tor in the arms of the men with whom
they dance. They are gracious and
smiling when q man holds them so
closely that they can hardly breathe.
They endure the men who chase fran
tically across the room with them.
They make the best of the. men who
rub the skin off the tips Of their noses
on rough coats. They even tolerate
the men who plant grimy hands
against the back of the immaculate
white waist.
All this they tolerate in men because
they are afraid of offending them. The
chances are that men would be CRATE
full to the girl who told them in the
right way that she didn't enjoy having
her nose skinned, that she could dis
pense with the wild rush across the
floor, that she did want to keep her
waist back clean and that she liked
little freedom of movement SO she
could dance easily.
Men want to learn; they are more
sensible and more generous about sug-
gestions of that kind than most women
believe.-Pittsburg Press.

Saved His Dignity.

One of the chief men in the early hts
tory Of Weston, Mass, was Francis
Fullam,. commonly known as Squire
Fullam. He was justice Of the peace
and one Of the pillars of the church
and on Sundays always sat with his
eyes fixed upon the minister as If con-
scious of being worthy example to
the rest Of the congregation. One Sab
bath morning during Parson Wood
wards sermon an old colored woman
in the gallery fell asleep and tumbled
Off the bench to the floor, making a
loud noise. Squire Fullam, who was
rather deaf. knew that something I'M
usual had occurred, and, feeling the
dignity Of his position as justice Of the
peace, he rose to his feet and called
out:
'Stop, reverend sirv'
Mr.. woodward ceased speaking, and
the old squire said in stentorian tones:
"If any one has discharged a gun In
this meeting house, let him be brought
before Inc tomorrow morning at 0
O'clock"
Some one explained to him the cause
Of the disturbance, and he added:
''If what I thought had happened,
what said was right. Proceed. rever-
end SIR.
Thereupon Mr.. Woodward resumed
his discourse, and the service proceed
I'd as usual.

Washington, November 22.-Henry
Blocker, local inspector Of steam YES
sells at Grand Haven, Mich, has been
dismissed from the service by the sec
rotary of commerce and labor. The
charge against Blocker was that he
inspected small steam yacht, the
Julia, at Spring Lake, Mich, although
she was aground, partly filed with wa
ter and in no sense proper object Of
inspection.
In connection with this case the de-
partment calls attention to the report

nounces as vicious the present salary
system, which makes the salary Of an
Inspector dependent on The number of
vessels he inspects and passes.
