Kidney Disease
 Kills. Thousands Never Suspect That
 They Have It.

It. now generally admitted that diseases of the kidneys and bladder constitute the greatest source of disease Cure these and we remove the cause of nearly all ailments of the Liver Blood, Stomach and Bowels. But the approach of Kidney disease is so sly and gradual that the first symptoms may not be noticed. Here are some of the most common symptoms of this dangerous disease:
 DiscoIored or dark urine, sometimes excessive
 and of pale color.
 Unusual desire to urinate especially at night
 "Brick Dust" deposits, sometimes containing
 abumen and blood.
 Swelling around eyes, ankles and abdomen.
 Dr0wsness and constant tired feeling.
 Pale, hot and dry skin.
 Pain in the back, headache, cramps in the legs.
 Bowels constipatcd, digestion impaired.
 Rheumatic pains ill the joints and muscles.
 If you have any of the above symptoms your kid neys need immediate attention, and Dr. David Ken. nedy's Favorite Remedy should be taken at once Do you know what will happen if you neglect these symptoms? Bright's Disease, most terrible, is nearly always the outcome. Dr. David Kennedy's Favortc Remedy has cured thousands of kidney disease, and we have the positive proof It will cure you.

Evelyn writes: 1.-THE Zulus in pursuit

the prince. His horse had jumped just
as he was mounting, and his sword fell

When AlphonSe Daulet brought out

house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character, offered NJ. Dau-
Diet Il large sum for advance sheets of
the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book, and they cabled to the author
'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho" in French is spelled
with one '.p"-"Sapho." after the Greak
fashion. In English 1t is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
cd this out TO Daudet, which much re-
lieved the novelist, and he cabled back

LOVE CHARMS.
Some of the Queer superstitions That
Live In Sicily.

Some of the Queer Superstitions That
Live In Sicily.
The love charms of Sicily are many
and curious. One. very popular and
considered very powerful, is to put
into an eggshell few drops of the
blood Of the longing lover. The shell
is exposed to the sun for three days
and to the dew for three nights. 1t is
then placed on hot ashes until calcined,
when the whole is reduced to q fine
powder and administered secretly In
q cup of coffee or u glass of wine to
the object of affection.
Another charm Is for the witch to
undress at midnight and tie her clothes
up in bundle which she places on
her head. Then. kneellng in the cen
ter Of her room. she pronounces an In
cantation. at the end Of which she
shakes her head. If the bundle falls
In front Of her, 1t Is II good sign; should
it fall behind her, the charm will net
avail.
Yet another is worked in the follow
Ing manner: Pieces of green. red and
white ribbon are purchased in three
different shops, the name Of the per-
sons to be charmed being repeated
mentally each time. The shopkeeper
must be paid with the left hand, the
ribbon being received in the right.
When all the pieces are bought they
are taken to n witch, who sets out to
find the person to be charmed. On
finding him or her the witch mutters
to herself, with these ribbons bind
you to such one" Then she returns
the ribbons to the purchaser, who ties
them beneath his or her left knee
and wears them at church.-Macmil-
lan's.

Fifty Mile. to Market.

1t is not an uncommon thing in
France to see farmer forty or fifty
miles from home in wet weather with
load. If he sees prospect of a
three days rain, he puts his tarpaulin
over his load, cover over his horses
and a waterproof coat on and starts
off to market He may go fifty miles
before he finds market that suits him,
or he may know in advance just where
he is going. You do not often see any
body driving fifty miles through rain
storm in the United States to find a
market for load of hay, but it is not
uncommon to see farmers wagons for
ty or fifty miles from home in France.
They choose the wet weather for that
purpose. Their roads are just as good
then as at any time.
