The Same Mistake That Thousands Make.

To neglect backache. which is very often the only outward sign that Nature gives of serious trouble In the kidneys, is to give free reign to serious disorders that may end in dropsy, gravel, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 Yet this neglect of baekaohe is very common. Many people think the pain a simple muscular trouble. They do not seem to know that backache Is the most common symptom of kidney com splaint
 P The kidneys tfIters of the blood1 l.e just beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. As soon as there Is any inflammation or conges- tion in the kidneys. you notice feeling ing of uneasiness in the back, then that dull, throbbing pain. changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain Is brought upon the back It is hard to straighten after stooping. you feel lame fin the morning,
 The urine shows early signs of the disorder. It is pale and thin. or thick. discolored and ill-smeiiing, Passages are too frequent. day and night. or scanty and very painful. whitish, stringy substance. or a sandy, brickish sediment settles at the bottom of the vessel
 There will be no danger at any time.

to Irish immigration. within the past
 two years, a turn which Is quite per-
 picking to those native Irish societies
 which have been unsuccessfully att
 tempting to stop the great national leak for so many years tThe unrest among the young native Irish element Is still wonderfully strong. An Amer ican traveller in Ireland ib as much iIn- pressed with this fact as he is with anything else in that country of re- markable things Everywhere he sees and hears of wholesale departures for the United States. Even in the remot- est rural hamlets the old people can be heard lamenting some recent exodus of the most promising young boys and girls. Almost every man or woman that traveller meets and talks with in sisters or very near relatives who have recently left for the United States.
 Emigration agencies exist in every part of the Island. Every village has a steamship agent. to whose advantage 1t is to use every inducement to infiu- ence the young men and womeb tnken- igrate. Since their pay must come from the steamship tickets which they sell. the agents take good care to see that many of them are disposed of la the course of a year. The flaming posters which they faunt iR the faces of the young people who are already restive and oveF-anxious to go, offer- ing the cheapest transportation and, to their minds, fabulous wages on the other side of the Atlantic, prove ire sistibls to the average Irish yiliageR. During the past summer whole villages In Cavan, Galway and Donegal have been depopulated, and vast country sides in Mayo and Roscommon have been stripped of the remnants of their old-time armies of farm laborers.

Bell side; and thus stimulated. the
 telephone company pushed forward to
 developments the like of which the
 world has never seen.
 Yet this overwhelming popular sue cess came as a surprise. In a moment
 of enthusiasm, after the company was
 started, Mir. Watson said to a friend:
 Why, by 1900 thsrelI be 100000 tele-
 phones in this country" When ne
 thought this over a little later he felt almost ashamed of his extravag ance.
 Neither he nor Mir. Bell nor anyone
 else connected with the telephone in it's infancy ever dreamed of living to see the universal application of the invention But facts are stranger ever
 than dreams In 1900, instead of the
 100000 tGlehone subscribers madly predicted by MT. Watson, the Bell Com panies had nearly 650,00 subscribers; and today they have more than 2.20o,- 900. The original Bell Company ad- vertised that 1t was prepared to fur ntsh telephones for the transmission or artioulate speech through instruments not more than twenty miles apart To- day the record for long distance speech in business transactions is 1,950 miles made over the Bell lines between Bos- ton and Little Rock, Ark.
 In the old days. even in the circular issued by the first Bell Company. the wires were referred to as telegraph. lines" What at first was meant by the telephone was simply the apparatus for and receiving, whereas, to- day the term telephony Includes not only the trsnsmitter and receiver, but the wonderful switchboard with Its thousands of jacks or swtchsockets for one subscribers line with another and the various other pieces of apparatus seen in public and private ex- changes and in pay stations. But the discovered by MT, Bell and developed under his direction and Tor which patents were granted to him are still as essential to the art of transmit ting speech as they were thirty years ago.

 Thirty men in all compose the sim plified Spelling Board. and once year they will meet to consider ways ana means. The propaganda itself will be under the direct charge of an execu- tive committed, composed of Brander Matthews, chairman; Dr. Charles P G. Scott. secretary; Dr. William Hays Ward, Henry Holt, Dr. Funk and Colonel Sprague, Recently the Exec utive Committee has been meeting ev- cry week.
 In It's recent address to the public the Board sasb that it's establishment was result of an effort which has been carried on for year to obtain the use by men of position of certain simplitied spellings adopted by the National Educational Association. The members of the organization pledge themselves to use their own medicine In their writings and correspondence They use In their prospectus che word "altho. and no doubt on account of a typographical error refer to dis tionaries.'
 Erom the Revised Version.
 Among the words which they will write in their simpler forms are ''aui- min, for Quin1ne; technic" for tech- nique; program" for programme; "catalog." for catalogue. and "orhelet," for omelette. The Board is preparing long list of reformed words which will be set forth In its next address, with a list of orthographicai immunes. Some of the words which will not suf- fer the pairing process are bad, bed, bun. slap, clash and similar honest Anglo-saxon derivatives. There VIII be no verbal pruning In the Greek and Latin expressions which are sounded just as they are spelled, like "monop- oly" and eminent"
 Brander Matthews said last even was not to be directed along radical lines.
 Everybody" said he, "who knows the ingrained conservatism of the Eng fish speaking race knows 1t is quite hopeless ever to strive for a radical and violent change. The most that can be done is to simplify spelling by the omission of many unnecessary let ters. This simplification will be in ac- cordanee with what has been going on steadily for three centuries. We are constantly throwing out needless complexities of spelling It was not so long ago that tragedy was written "tragoedy" and economics was spell ed "oeconomics," that the use of such orthography as "almanack," "musick' and "topick' was permissible, and that gulf was printed "gulph" What we purpose to do is to work in accord ance with [ well known law of Ian- guage and merely to hasten an en- tirely natural process"

THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY
 OF THE TELEPHONE
How Alexander Graham Bell March, l87 Spoke the First Words Heard Over the WieThe Outcome of Experiments conducedi Boston Boarding House-hcidents Connected With Great
 Invention-The First Message From City to City.

~ osToN, March 17.--The tele-
 phone is celebrating its thir-
 tieth anniversary, for it was in N March. 1876, on the top floor
 of boarding house in this city that A., Graham Bell as he was called in those days. spoke to his associate. Thomas A. Watson. the first words ever transmitted electrically by wire
 The occasion was not intended for a historical picture. There was none of the pomp and circumstance that att tended the sending of the first message by telegraph, The young enthusiasts, one the theorsst who evolved the idea of transmitting articulate sounds by electricity, the other a practical elec- trio mechanician, were the only wit nesses. A little more than year be- fore Dr. Bell had discovered that his theory of the telephone was practical, and since that time they had worked night and day to develop instruments that would make that discovery useful. But stiil they were far from satisfied; and on this March day, in 1878, they were prepared for further experiments.
 Watson was listening at the instru- ment In his room. Suddenly, almost un- expeetedly, for 1t seemed almost too .maryeious a thing to be true. he heard

Colorado Climate and

 MT Davidson and his family were un- der the care of the best doctors in the East and spent much time and money in futile attempts to regain their health. They finally came to Colorado thinking the climate would be beneficial, but were again disappointed.
 Finally DuRy's Malt whIsEey was tried, and proved successful after every thing else had failed.
