Unless early and correct treatment is
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 a 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 a 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.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs
Sawyer. !.
"Icannot express the terrible suffering ]
had to endure. A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and q
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
me for a year, but / kept getting worse, until
/ was unable to do anything, and ! made up
nv mind / could not live. ! finally decided
to try lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as a last resort, and | am to-day a well

DEFINITIONS AND DERIVATION

The ~petrifcation agate was named for
the river Achates, IN Sicily, where It was
FIRST found.
A brochure is q small book. stitched,
not bound, so named from the French
ssbrocher," to stitch.
bylaw owes the first part Of itself
to the word bye, the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh. 4
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin "amator,' a
lover, means a lover Of any particular
art, but not a professional follower OF 1t.
The American word boss" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
.sbaas," of the same meaning. 1t is de-
seconded from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion in England and
the colonies means a million millions.
in France and on the continent, as well
as In the United States, 1t means a thou
sand millions.
The name .calomel" means beautiful
black" and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is a white powder, the name is merely a
jocular missioner now.
The word 'Boer, z 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 "boor' had the same origin.
The word beverage" has had many
changes in photography. 1t is found
spelled ''b~iberedge," beverage and
"beveridge." 1t comes from the Italian
"bevere,n 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 culti-
waited and is adorned with laces, tuckS
and frills. 1t wears a tailor-made suit
and eats with a fork.
The conscience of the heather is as
urembellished as is his body. The nude
ness of the combination appeals to the
conscience of the missionary and he en-
beavers to utilize the mantle of charity.
A weight on a mans conscience gives
him inward dyspepsia. Confession n
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

buttery, where she wuz mouldin' out
some riz biscuit for supper, and she wuz
jest a-teIlin' me about the queer doin's
over to Simon Slimpsey's, and | WIZ Jest
about beginnin' to tell her what had
hearn about the minister's brothers
wife from them that had seen with their
own eyes, when we hearn such a loud
noise from the settin'-room, and not
KNOWN but they wuz committin' salt
and buttery on each other, though It
did seem as If they hadn't either on EN-
strength enough, we rushed out. And
sure enough, worst fears wuz real
lied, the squire had throwed a him
book at Josiah. and wuz a-screaD1in'
out as we went in:
Paul seq that all men shall be
| saved, and come to the knowledge of the
truth. and Paul won't lie, | swear, you
cussed old Allen!"
Josiah wuz poundin' the table by the
side on him with his fist. and luggin' in
Paul and Moses and Job to rear witness
to his words, draggin' in them good
old Bible characters into these shame
full doin's.
SEE Polly to the squire: I'D be
ashamed to lug Paul into such q dis
graceful seen, actin SO to a visitor"
And / seq: I'D never bring in Moses
and Job to witness such a seen as this,
a afternoon visitor a actin in such q
way. You wouldn't ketch Mr.. Moses
or Mr.. Job maxim a afternoon visit &c
a neighbor, and actin in this way"
And | led Josiah out onto the back
stoop a-pantin'. And l sot him down in
a chair on the stoop and went in and
told Polly | guessed | had better take
Josiah home before supper, for We
shouldn't take any comfort with EN-.
But she wouldn't hear to it, and said
she'd take care of the squire, if I'd take
care of Josiah. And so we didn't either
on us dast to leave EN- agin a minute
that afternoon. And when we see
that they WIZ gittin' pretty close to the
edge asin we'd sail in and talk real glib
| and loud about some of the neighboriIl
wimmen or politics or sunthin', and
kinder drownd out their voices, but We
| went home good season. And | never
want to go through it agin, nor Polly
don't, either. But we lay a good deal
on tito what Josiah calls the lay grippe.

Mission Of the Cossack.

1t is worthy of notice that the Ear
of Russia depends for his safey almos.
wholly upon his regiments Of Cossacks.
These mounted soldiers have proved
themselves to be despicable warriors in
the far east. AS a factor in war the Cos
sack has tumbled from the high post
ton he once held to an exceedingly low
level. On the other hand, as the arm
prop and buttress of a despotism, the
Cossack has proved himself to be an un-
qualified success. His function, the one
in which he excels, is to charge. with
sword or loaded whip, upon crowds OF
unarmed men, women and children
where the probabilities of effective re-
taliation are exceedingly slight.-Bos-
ton Herald.

TWO WAS ONE TOO MANY
to Consignee in Dry Town
in Maine.

1t has always been claimed that the
craftiest smugglers were the pot hunt
ers of Washington county. Not so.
now. says the Lewiston Journal. Never
once did they devise a scheme cleyerer
or which worked more successfully in
getting game out of the state 0
trary to the law, than did a certain Pc
nobscot county rumseller in getting a
supply of goods into his place of bust
ness in violation of the statutes Of
Maine.
But while it worked successfully on
two occasions, there is but little likeli-
hood that it will ever do so again, for
the future will watch out. One day the
people of a certain Penobscot county
town, freight for which must pass
through Bangor, saw a big upright piano
box hauled up to the establishment of
one who had for years been identified
with the liquor business. However, no
one thought anything strange of this,
because he lived over his place of bust
ness.
The box, bearing a stencil mark which
announced that it came from Boston,
caused the people to go out and talk, and
when in the course of a week, a second
case showed up, to wonder. Then COS
sip got busy and the inquisitive began
to pry around, with the result that some
interesting, if not exactly startling, in
formation was trotted out. Said infor-
nation caused the deputies at Bangor
to carefully examine all piano cases
which the freights bring to Bangor city.
Each of those two piano cases, or boxes,
it is said, contained $50 gallons of bot
tied liquor.
