QUEER SUPERSTITION.

There is a very quaint and old
world superstition in connection with
the kingfsher, which still obtains
here and there. in remote parts of the
countryside.
The superstition is this: that if a
stuffed or dried kingfsher be sus-
pended by a thread of string from
the beam or ceiling of a room its
breast will always turn in the direc-
ton of the prevailing wind.
How the notion first arose and
how, in the light of m sense
and inquiry, it has been so long per-
petuated it is hard to say; but it
has long existed and still exists.
l have a clear recollection as a
youngster of going into a humble
cottage in the shires and seeing a
stuffed kingfsher thus suspended AZ

Select q Wife with Care.

60 on the principle that, 1t being
a matter of small consequence,
almost any young thing will do.
This is a great mistake, for the
careful man, even in details like
this, will still be governed by
proper circumspection. The dis
play wife is extensively used in
this country. She Is well made,
stylish, ready In social emergen-
cies and givs much pleasure in
showing her around. Under cover
she is disappointing and apt to
run up bills, but for certain pur-
poses in large demand. The
domestic wife sews and mends
nicely, makes mustard splasters
and griddle cakes, is a poor clock
model, saves money, raises chill
dren and is useful in illness. The
literary wife reads, writes and
talks. She e%ntertains people you
hate, gives functions you despise,
makes coy corners and trouble.
The economical wife makes over
her own clothes, starves you near
ly to death, and saves enough
money so that you can have q
good time with her successor-if
you are lucky enough ito have
one. The extravagant wife gives
you q good time at twice what il
is worth.
In selecting q wife always, Of
course, pick out your opposite.

company and is fond of travel,

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Couso OF
Your Troubles. A Mont
gomery City Citizen
Shows How to Cure
Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from . lame,
weak or aching back, they think
it is only q muscular weakness
When urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all other symp-
toms of kidney disorders. That
is Just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles n they
will lead to diabetis OF Bright's
diseases. The best remedy to Q
is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak
or diseased kidneys. Montgom-
cry City people testify to perma-
nent cures.
d. E. Roberts, living on Harper
street, Montgomery City, Mo-,
says: 81 am positive in assert
ing that Doan's Kidney Pills ara
the best kidney medicine made,
for I think / have tried them all. /
have suffered extremely from my
back and kidneys, and I was par
ticularly bad last spring when /
got Doan's Kidney Pills from
Crump and Kidwell's drug store.
Never before had l obtained any
thing that would give me posiiivo
relief from that torturing lama
back and ir~regularity of the kid
ney secretions which contained .
sediment like brick-dust. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly removed
the lingering headache, corrected
the kidneys and gave me freedom
and vigor. I think'they are . vail

 Great and good chief of the tribe of Jesus Christ, greeting. The hunblest of your servants kisses the hem of your garment, and begs you to send his fellow servants more gospel and less rum.
 Who can read, unmoved, this letter of an earlier date, dictated by ole of the most powerful chiefs in the western part of Afri- ca to Rev. Toul, missionary there.

 This We know perfectly well. The matter about which 1 am speaking with my mouth, write 1t, 1t iS as If done by my hand. It is not very long matter; 1t is about barasa rum or gin). Ba- rasa, barasa, barasa, my God, 1t has ruined our country; 1t has ruined our people very much; 1t has made our people become mad.
 I have gwen law that no one dares buy or sell 1t, and anyone who IS found selling 1t his house Is to be eaten up tplundered) and anyone found drunk will be killed. I have told all the christian traders that I agree to everything for trade except barasa. 1 have told Mr. Mcintosh $ people to say the barasa remaining with them must be returned down the river. Tell Growther, the great chris tian minister, that he Is our father. beg you don't forget this writing, because We all beg that he fCrowther) should beg the great priests that they should beg the English Queen to prevent bringing barasa into this land. V
 So great pressure has been brough to bear upon the govern ments Of the leading christian nations of the world that the rum traffic with the heather na- tons has been greatly restricted of late years, but still the power of the bible for good Is overbal- lanced by the power of the bottle for evil and christian nations (so called i'll spite of law are manu- featuring drunkards faster than they are converting heathens.
