 1t became evident that the "Isaber' would founder within the next few hours. Rather than risk the lives of his men, Captain Dunworthy resolved to abandon her at once:
 Hastily provisioning the longboat, the crew took their places in 1t. The mate had lowered himself and the captain was about to descend when suddenly he asked Where are Ned and Joe?'

 The two boats rowed on steadily. until Then one of those violent storms. which come up so suddenly on the southern Pacific, swept upon them.
 As was useless to row. the two lads rested on their oars.

 Joe. who was baiiing energeticaiiy. paused a moment to reply: "They had the same chance as we did. But if they were thrown upon the reefs nothing could save them"
 Thoroughly tired out, the two went to sleep. nor did they awake until dawn.
 Ned was first to awake. He rubbed his eyes for moment. Then he sud- dently bounced upon Joe and shook him roughly.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half
the Common Aches and
Ills of Montgomery
City People.

As one weak link weakens a
chain, so weak kidneys weaken
the whole body and hastens the
final breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and
other causes injure the kidneys,
and when their activity is les
sened the whole body suffers from
the xce of uric position circu-
lated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor
and urinary ills come, and there is
an ever increasing tendency to-
wards diabetes and fatal Bright's
disease. There is no real help for
the sufferer except kidney help.

on the kidneys and cures every

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

While the Presidents recent
message to congress has been
published in nearly all papers, yet
it seems fitting that one section of
the volumous document should
appear in this department as it
relates to the home. The presi-
dent says:
~ am we'll aware of how difficult
it is to pass a constitutional
amendment. Nevertheless in my
judgment the whole question of
marriage and divorce should be
regulated to the authority of the
national congress. Atpresent the
wide difference in the laws of the
different states on this subject re-
suit in scandals and abuses, and
surely there is nothing SO vitality
essential to the welfare of the
nation, nothing around which the
nation should so bend itself to
throw every safeguard, as the
home life of the average citizen.
The change would be good from
every standpoint. In particular
it would be good because it would
confer On the congress the power
at once to deal radically and eff
GENTLY with polygamy; and this
should be done whether OF not
marriage and divorce are dealt
with. 1t is neither safe nor pro-
per to leave the question of polyg-
amy to be dealt with by the sew
eral states. Power to deal with il
should be conferred on the ma
tional government.
"When home ties are loosened
when men and women cease to re.
gard a worthy family life, with al
it's duties fully performed, and al
it's responsibilities lived up to, al
the life best worth living; ther
evil days for the commonwealth
are at hand. There are regions il
our land, and classes of our popu'
lation, where the birth rate hal
sunk beneath the death rate
Surely it should need no demon
stration to show that wilful steril
ity is, from the standpoint of tn
nation, from the standpoint of tn
human race, the one sin for which
the penalty is national death, rae
death; a sin for which there is nj
atonement; a sin for which is tn
more dreadful exactly in proper

thereof are in other respects, Il

gifts will he bring? Far richer
than any proceeding year in the
vast wealth of invention and dis
coyery and achievement be-
queathed by glorious years that
have passed; what promise is Of
fered that the world will be wiser
and better for his coming? What
has been done in the year just
brought to a close is the promise
and prophecy Of better things to
come in the one at whose portals
we stand. We know not what the
new year may bring forth, but we
know that of what was gained for
man kind in the one that is just
finishing its course, nothing will
be lost that is ft to survive. 1t
will keep on adding to the domain
OF human knowledge, to the do
main of man over the forces of
nature.
Truly there is no cause, in the
persistence of force or in the oper-
alton OF the great law of develop
ment. All the achievements of
the past are but the elementary
beginnings of the great work on
which the science and invention
have entered-the stepping stones
to higher things. And they are
pregnant with the promise and the
potency of a richer and nobler
fruitagein the year whose opening
gates we are about to enter. Lum-
nous as has been the past, it's
light has penetrated only the fringe
Of the dark mass of barbarism, of
Ignorance, of poverty, which still
darkens a large part of the world
and the under strata of society
even in civilized states.
Stupendous as seems the pro-
gress the world has made, even
in our day, it has brought us
only to the foothills of the vast
ascent, whose far off sum-mits,
rising with the centuries will be
crowned with the glory of that
new day when wars shall cease
and poverty and crime shall be no
more and the parliament: of man
shall proclaim the reign of right
eousness and peace throughout
the federation of the world.
