Unless early and correct treatments
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means OF
saving her life.

hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.

RELATED OF ROYALTY.

King Leopold will leave fortune Of
$10,00O,0O0, most of which will go to the
Belgian people for works of public util-
ity He regards his daughters as Lear
came to regard Regan and Goneril The
daughters viii get shout $4,000 each.
Early in HIS reign Gear Nicholas
caught bad head cold and asked a
humble subject how this annoying all
ment could be cured. The advice given
was that the-imperial nose should be
anointed at night with tallow from
common candle. Years rolled on and
one day by mere accident the car had
the chance of looking through book
of household expenditures and was
amazed to find he had been charged for
a pound of tallow candles every night
since.
New that the German crown prince
has been married, court gossips in Eu-
rope are considering who is likely to be
the bride of Prince Eitel, the kaiser's
second son. The general view is that
1t will be Princess Eva of Battenberg,
with whom he was much smitten during
recent visit to England. Princess Eva
is quite pretty girl, just past II years
old, who was brought up in the simplest
manner possible. 1t is expected that
she will inherit largely from her god
mother, ex-Empress Eugene.
The duke of Connaught-Prince Ar
thur of Great Britain-who has Just en-
tered upon his fifty-sixth year, was the
godson of the duke of Wellington and
was taught to have great reverence for
the old gentleman. One of the little
boys first efforts at drawing, it is said,
was picture representing the duke and
Napoleon engaging in a pistol duel at
point blank range. my dear young
prince, said the duke, when shown this
youthful production, remember that,
though | fought Bonaparte, could never
see him without the help of telescope"
During King Alfonso's visit to London
several stories were told of how he at
times shocks the Spanish dons with wild
escapades. All these anecdotes, apocry-
phal or otherwise, helped his popularity
with the British public, showing as they
did that his 19-year-old majesty is a
real boy and not altogether royal milk
sop. He rides reckless races with young
officers, rings up the guard Unexpectedly
from mere motives CT mischief, and gen.
orally plays the same pranks as other
lads of his age. Among his own subjects
OF the rank and file these pranks do him
good, for even the Spaniard likes to
think that his sovereign can do some
thing human and unceremonious.

GERMANS FILLING COUNTRY
Settlers Find an Ideal Location in
the State of Virginia for
Settlement.

Richmond, Va.-Lunenburg county
along the line of the Southern rail-
way, is filling up with Germans from
the north and west. The newcomer
are buying farms and engaging in cat
tie raising, poultrying, fruit growing
grape culture and similar pursuits
More than 40 families have moved in
during the past year, and they appear
to be happy and contented. They are
all making money, living economically
and seem delighted with the conditions
down here.
Three years ago a German came to
Virginia from Minnesota He bought
farm in Lunenburg county and be-
gan to SOW grass and raise cattle for
market. He paid $4,000 for the farm,
and less than month ago he was Of
fered $4,000 for the farm, declining to
sell at any price He has made cattle
raising pay, and pay handsomely
A colony moved in last month, buy
ing a farm Of several hundred acres,
which was divided up among the col
ony, each man getting about 100 acres.
They do not spread over an immense
acreage, but do attend to small fields,
getting the best results, and with less
labor than the farmers of this section.
They have begun 10 demonstrate to
the farmers of the state that they
know a thing or two, and the example
of small fields, well cultivated, is being
followed by many of the Virginians.

DEFINITIONS AND DERIVATION

The petrification agate was named for
the river Achates, in Sicily, where it was
first found.
A brochure is a small book, stitched,
not bound, so named from the French
"brocher," to stitch.
Bylaw" owes the first part of itself
to the word bye" the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin "amator," a
lover, means lover of any particular
art, but not professional follower of it.
The American word boss" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
haas" of the same meaning. 1t is de-
scended from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion" in England and
the colonies means million millions.
in France and on the continent, as well
as in the United States, it means thou
sand millions.
The name ''calomel' means beautiful
black" and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is white powder, the name is merely a
jocular misnomer now.
The word 'Boer," applied to the Dutch
inhabitants of the country districts of
the Cape of Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agriculturist. The Eng
lish word Door" had the same origin.
The word beverage" has had many
changes in photography. 1t is found
spelled 'biberedge," beverage" and
"beveridge." 1t comes from the Italian
"bevere," to drink, but more remotely
from the Latin.
The man whose conscience wears
tight shoes is not an agreeable compan-
ion, as you are always afraid of tread
ing on its corns.
The civilization conscience is cult
waited and is adorned with laces, tucks
and frills. 1t wears tabernacle suit
and eats with fork
The conscience of the heather is as
unemhellished as is his body. The nude
ness of the combination appeals to the
conscience of the missionary and he en-
deavors to utilize the mantle of charity.
A weight on mans conscience gives
him inward dyspepsia. Confession and
restitution are highly recommended
for this malady. Some patients try
philanthropy instead and with indiffer-
ent results.
There are men whose consciences will
not permit them to ride to church on
the trolley car. Instead they are driven
to the sanctuary by their coachmen,
who are left to mediate in dignified soil

BETSY ROSS.

A quiet house, quiet street,
needle and a thread,
A scissors and square of blue,
Some strips of white and red,
And slender hands that deftly stitched
The shining stars across
twas thus the flag of Liberty
Was~made by Betsy Ross.
Though Father Time has worn to rags
The ermine robes Of kings,
And left the guns of war to rust
Ainong forgotten things;
Though crowns and scepters at his touch
Have turned to dust and dross--
Yet not broken stitch has marred
The work of Betsy Ross.
In stately hall and lowly home
This day its colors wave,
The shelter of the worlds oppressed,
The beacon of the brave
Let glory on the nations shield
Among the stars emboss
The thread, the needle, and the name
And fame of Betsy Ross.

$1,000 for each person, it follows that
5000, 100000 of the so-called balance of

covered by these foreign voyageurs.
The rush to Europe this year is break

Thirty thousand more will go in July,
