What The Kidneys Do.
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strono and Healthy


All the blood in the body passes through
the kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys filter the blood. They work
night and day. When healthy they re-
move about 500 grains OF impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood. This
brings ON many diseases aud symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervousness.
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel.
disorders OF the eyesight and hearing.
dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in urine, etc. But
II you keep the filters right you will have
no troabie with your kidneys.
Mrs. r. /. Moore, OF Ellsworth Falls.
living on the walthsm Road, says: "After
what Doan's Kidney Pills did for me it is
q pleasure TO recommend them. / have
used them on and on for several years for
backache and other difficulties arising
from kidney trouble. In 1903 came home
from the hospital where l had been for
some time and underwent an operation.
All that winter was miserable, could not
regain my strength and really ought to
have been in bed, but managed to keep up.
The medicine I used failed to do me any
good. / began to take Doan's Kidney
Pills and they brought me almost imme-
diste relief. They not only cured the
backsche and corrected the kidney action,
but they built me up in every way. Ihave
used them on several occasions since then,
and they keep me in the best of shape. 1
know OF many other people who have used
them with just as satisfactory results as
obtained"

 ''The AlssAans backing this institu- tiou. and the fact that there is no op- portunity in Alaska for the investor to receive any earnings, leads us to believe we can do a handsome business in that field. It will be simply another tie tending to bind Seattle and Alaska together"

Colophon was a city of ancient Ionla nine miles north Of Ephesus, and near the sea. It was said to be the birth place of Homer, and near 1t was ia nous oracle of Apollo. The Greek prov erb, 'STo put a colophon to it." mean ing to end an affair handsomely, Is ex plained by Srabo as arising from a belief that the cavalry of Colophon was so excellent in quality that their charge was always decisive in battle. Hence arose the custom of calling any devic6 or monogram or printers name or sign or date of printing In old printed books a colophon in the sense of q definite satisfactory end.

It was the great eclipse of Aug. 21, 1860. that turned TychO Brahe into an astronomer. He was in his fourteenth year at the time, a Danish boy of no- bIe origin, and had been destined first for the army and then for the law. But the accuracy with which the eclipse was predicted impressed him with the belief that astronomy was a divine thing, and tAenceforward he de voted his life to it. The debt of as- trouomy to Tycho Brahe not only for hIs own work, but as the man who shaped the genius of .Kepler, can scarcely be oYerestimated.

Eta Flavor Of BitternssS and It's BHt-
 ire of JudaiHm.
 Renan said of the Jews, "The Sem ltlc people are almost entirely without the power to laugh" Surely had he looked for traces of Jewish humor in the light which Heine casts back upon its dark tradition he would never have made so sweeping q statement, For eight years HeIne lay upon his mat tress grave" in Paris suffering eXcru- ciating agony. He deseryed he said, to. have awarded to him "the grand medals of pain and misery Leopold Zunz said almost the same words of ule whole Hebrew people, "If there are ranks in suffering, Israel takes prece- lence of all the nations" The humor /. of Israel is favored with bitterness and plays round the greater subjects of thought and of speculation; plays like the humor of a man in pain.
 Listen to the lament of satirist born at Aries in 12S7 who finds the works of the Jewish law an into!erable burden and seems to have come, like Heine, to the bitter conclusion that Judaism Is not a religion, 1t is a mis- cOrtpne:"
 Oh. hapless sire, dIstrausht with cares, Whose wife to hirr nale-chlldren bears, For all of them, or rich or poor, Have only suffering to endure. rrN. .f. Ha- hV~f frwNnu Whose yoke Is hard to bear indeed. Its many laws and regulations Which are unknown to other nations Every Hebrew must observe With watchful eye and straining nerve; Fen though he shares In public functions, He still must follow their injunct!ons.
 
 The Bible is not half enough; Closes there are and other stun In which he erudite must be, Especially In theology,
 In all the Talmud may relate, In authors quarrels and debate, In things particularly small, Of no significance at all.
 One more medIaeval quotation, this time from the pen of Barcelona Jew The lines can hardly perhaps be called humorous, but they illustrate with a certain terse comedy the great value set by the race upon three things money, knowledge and domestic hap piness. If a man has none of them the poet has no better advice to give him than to hold hls tongue or to hang him self:
 What Is the most useful thing to any
 man in life?
 Knowledge or wealth or a good and low But If none of these commodities man has
 ever got
 Then by keeping golden silence he might
 improve his lot.
 And if he cannot do so, that poor and hap.
 less knaye,
 Then let him so away at once and dis
 himself a grave.
 On his deathbed Helne made his last joke, and 1t is typlcally Jewish, "Re. viewing his by no means irreproacha- ble past" he hoped that God might for. give him, flor c'est son met.er'-(that Is his trade). Another story Illustrates yet more perfectly the bitter humor of the Jew. It Is the story of a dying rabbi "who had been all his lifetime extremely religious, but had likewise always suffered much want and mis- cry. DO you know he said to those In the sickrOom, If after all the sad e1' perlences l have had in the past there Is no future life l shall be greatly amused '"-LOndon Spectator.
