No woman with unsound kidneys can be healthy. Sick kidneys. in fact, cause the majority of women's troubles.
 But there Is no need to get down hearted If you suffer constant back ache, weariness, bearing-down pains. sick headaches. etc. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women aff1ict- ed in this way.
 It Is easy to tell if your kidneys are the cause of your ailments. Backache itself is only the aching of the kid neys when congested and inflamed. You feel it in the back because the kidneys are in the small of the back. The bladder and urinary tubes get swollen, crowding the delicate female organs near by. and causing many of the pe- culiar pains thought to be female trou- bles.
 Sick headaches, dizzy spells, nervous ness, irritability, neuralgia and rheu- matic pains, weak eyes. palpitation of the heart, etc. are caused by the reten- tion in the blood of poisons that the kidneys should filter out and pass on in the urine.
 Urinary disorders are sure signs of kidney sickness. If the urine contains a sediment like brick-dust, or whitish stringy settings. if passages are toe frequent or scanty. or painful, the kid neys need quick attention.

 A disguised burglar. whoA was about to marry the pretty daughter of stockholders clerk. was arrested at feast preceding the wedding yesterday owing to the diligent inquiries of the bride elects cousin. who was himself in love with her.
 Henri Vouvray, the burglar, was man of good appearance and faultlesi manners. He became acquainted with Jeannie Davignon by meeting her fath. CT in a cafe and accepting an invitation to visit the Davignon's house.
 The family thought him charming, he became a regular visitor, and it wal arranged he should marry Jeanne
 Jeanne's cousin, Gabriel Hormot, lived to find out the antecedents of Henri Vouvray.
 At a dinner given yesterday by the Davignons. to celebrate the signing of the marriage contract, Gabriel suddenly appeared with a pile of papers and policeman.

 ought to know how to play. Play is
 far more worth while for him than work in the first ten years of life.
 One great advantage of athletic sports, of football, baseball and basket ball, lies in the fact that the sturdi- ness and pluck they demand. prolong the play-time of youth. The precocious
 child is seldom or never a good catcher
 or pitcher, or quarterback or halfback; he Is on the contrary likely to survey with disdain the boyish pride taken by athletes in their triumphs.. and to consider time spent in the open air
 rather a waste than the opposite. His energies are bent on acquiring more
 and still more culture from the world of literature. Often one sees ths strange anomoIy when such youth has grown up, of man whose infor- nation is prodigious, while his knowi- edge of available tools is academic. In . other words, 1t is not the youth who has made the most rapid strides during
 his training who has the requisite stay ing power to hold on and do well in the rougher realities of every day ex- istence. Another point to be noticed Is that everyone fights shy of the infant prod igy. Parents trot him out and com pei him to show his paces. to the bore dom and disgust of friends and ac- quairtances. Fond mothers little dream of the dismay and the secret amuse- ment they awake in the minds of their social circle. Here comes Mrs w. She is sure to lead the subject around to Albert's performances unless that hopeful child and his wonderful speech es can be sidetracked." I have known
 a combination of forces ready to check the mother without her suspecting 1t, when, as usual she began to launch forth on her pet topic.
 What becomes finally of all the in- fant phenomenal? Some of them, no
 doubt, fill early graves, others break away from tho leading strings and melt
 into the ranks and are never heard of
 more. The vast majority. ceasing to
