A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body Make You III, Languid and
 Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of 1 life-giving albumen from the blood into the urine and the substitution of Yaisonous uric acid that eoes bread cast through the system, sowing the seed5 of disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, langour, depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks ill the back, gravel and kidney stones. The proper treatment is kidney treat ment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Pine Bluff cures prove It.
 D. Horner, farmer, living three and half miles northeast of Pine Bluff, Ark, says: The action Of my kianeys was irregular for awhile, although 1 had no pain i'll my back like most people suffer. It was mostly bladder trouble, and I had no control over the kidney secretions, and had to get out of bed as often as ten times dur ing the night. I tried different reme- dies, but obtained no relief until a neighbor advised me to try Deans Kidney Pills. After purchased a box and began their use I was aston isher to notice the good effect it had and the use of less than three boxes completely relieved me of the trouble. I have always kept this remedy by me since to have in case of need' For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. FosterMilburn Co.,, New York, sole agents for the United States.

With the aid of imagination some

With the aid of imagination some fairly adequate idea of ancient splendors may be formed Magniti- cent chariots drawn by Arabian stallions, herds of elephants and camels carrying 3itaners, war riors in chain armor, sacred cattle and carts of golden plush, bul- locks covered by silver trappings, odd conveyances harnessed to ele- phants, camel teams and natives direct from India, all take part in this production.
 The Van Amburg shows carry a large amount of live stock. Horses numbering 300 have to be cared for every day. It takes tons of proyender to feed them and the menagerie.
 The animals of the menag gerie are generally of the most interest. The hardest and longest lived and 'n0st intelligent is said to be the ,Aphant.
 Some of the largest of this show are used to push the heavy wagons and cages about the lot when the show is setting up.
 One morning an elephant became enraged at his driver and wheeled quickly and struck at the man With his trunk The beady eyes of the animal glistened as he trumpeted his anger. The keeper lashed the big brute with his whip and sub dued him without any damage be- ing done Had the man been hit by the blow it would have killed him. When an elephant gets so bad that he is dangerous the owners have the animal killed and the next sea- son a substitute takes his place. although the killing of an elephant means loss of several thousand dollars.
 The most delicate animal is the giraffe. They take cold easily and often die of hasty consumption. Seals are hardy, but they are diff ticult to train. Probably the hardest animal to train l.; the wild African zebra.
 They will not give up to man They will be killed before they will obey. Sometimes hybrids are seen, and they resemble the full blooded animal.
 The Van Amburg shows carry everything that can be found in good-sized city. With the aggrega- tion is blacksmith, barber, harness maker, two painters. glider, cooks, bakers, electricians, min- ister, two veterinary doctors, the shows own attorney and it's regular family physician.
 Two exhibitions are given daily, rain or shine, and in case of ln- element weather waterproof tents insure ample protection and com fort
