party in the house of commons. He has been, called sand bag for the reason that he takes all kinds of oppo- sition shots without showing the slight est worriment. He is what is known as "safe" statesman, stolid and heavy, but withal possessing common sense, tact kindliness and a dash of shrewd Scotch humor. He is wealthy and eminently respectable, a great so- eial entertainer and popular in his per sonal relations. He impaired his po- litical popularity for a time by de nouncing the Boer war, but that is evidently forgotten now. Sir Henry comes from the famous Scotch Camp bells and got the last part of his hyphe- mated name from a maternal uncle who left him fortune. A man who can succeed in politics despite hyphen and pair of mutton chop whiskers must have something in him. The English are more leisurely than we and do not so object to long names, but Campbell-Bannerman is too much even for them. As result they have short ened it into "C.-B.," by which designa- tion the prime minister is everywhere known.

GoULDs WOULD
AVOID SCANDAL
Seek to Secure Divorce for Countess
De Castellane Without Publicity.

PARIS, June l4.--George Gouldl
statement that the affairs of the count
and countess de Castellane are adjust
ing themselves is true In, a sense, a.
every effort is being made to prevent
the thrashing out Of the scandal ir
open court.
Lawyers are seeking to arrange terms
that will be acceptable to both parties
which should the court consent might
result In no linen being washed In
public the judge granting a divorce to
the countess on "wheraSes", which
while suficing to justify a decree In
the eyes OF the public, would spare
the feelings of third parties. There
is every Likelihood that such an arrange.
ment will be reached but the countess
has all her batteries prepared for a
fight shonld the count decline the
more than generous terms she offers
him.
IL is absolutely untrue that she is
weakening. He continues obstinate
as to the control Of the children, but
he will be compelled tosubmit to their
sole control by their mother, who how
ever is ready to concede their fathers
right to visit bis offspring when they
are in Paris.

Dangerous Kidney Diseases
Htrrod

WTHEN the kidneys become affected
w by catarrh, either from colds, over
work, or an extension of catarrh from
some other organ, they fail to perform
their normal functions.
1t is the work Of the kidneys {, ex-
crete from the blood many of the poisons
which accumulate in the body.
If the kidneys fail in their work, the
poisons accumulate to such an extent as
to cause convulsions, which often prove
fatal.
Peruna, by relieving the kidneys of
their congested and catarrhal condi-
tions, leaves them free to act in q
normal manner.
1t also strengthens the action of the
heart, equalizing the circulation OF the
blood in all parts of tho system.
