the rank, wealth and fashion OF Belgium and
the hospitals of Brussels benefit by this one

In the early summer the princess goes TO Spa

has been deeply affected by the scandals caused
by her fathers friendships with actresses and
undesirable characters, but above all In the

A Eiahtina "Suner."

The following little gem was one of the experiences of MT. Benson, the Shakespearean actor:
 MT. Benson made professional visit to Dublin, and the rehearsals included the due training of a body of stage assistants to represent the hurried ly retracting supporters of Richard "Crookback." when that monarch sue cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field Of Rosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field. or to ac- knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to proper submission till one of the frank and file'' said:

TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help
 Many q Sufferer in Pine Bluff.

No woman can he healthy and wei if the kidneys are sick. Pcis- Ions that pass off in t.le tariue when the kdueys are well are retained in the body when t,le kidneys are sick. Kidneys and bladder get inhamed and swollen, erowding the delicate female orgaas nearby and sometimes displacing them. This is the true cause Of many bearing down pains, lameness, backache, side ache, etc. Uric poisoning also caus- es headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain.
 When suffering so, try Deans Kid ney Pills, the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get better and health will re- turn when the kidneys are well. Let a Pine Bluff woman tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Mrs. c. E. Fisher of 1700 East Sixth avenue, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: sIn endorse the statement 1 made about Doan's Pills some years ago with the greatest of pleasure. I used them for pain and weakness in my back, accompanied with other ir- regularities of the kidneys and they did me a world of good relieving the pain and eradicating the poisons from my system. I can also recommend Doan's Ointment as a splendid reme- dy. My little girls used it after trying several other rem- edies for the same purpose, and until I got Doan's Ointment at the Mann-Tankersley drug store, she found nothing to give her as much relief. This preparation healed the sores in a short time. I am glad to arecommend both Doan's Kidney Pills and Doan's Ointment" For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Never Loses His Head,

Many years ago, when William j. Stillman of New York city was re- porting a disturbance in Greece for the London Times, a report was sent out that he had been beheaded. One of his friends, hearing the report. tele- graphed to the correspondent this mes sage: "Rumor here that your head has been taken off. Is 1t true?' It was not until the message had been sent that it occurred to the sender that if the rumor were true Stillman would be the last man in the world to speak about it. But the message reached Stillman, and this was his reply: My dear boy, newspaper man never loses his head"

Silence and Science.

Before it was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life. progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort. Disturbed minds are loss through a re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss There is direct loss also. A rat tling car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press.

A Story of WheWell.

Sydney Smith said of the great Dr. Whewell, master of Trinity college, that ''science was his forte and om. niscience his foible" On one occa. sion two fellows of the college, think ing to get beyond his range, read up the subject of Chinese metaphysics and then disputed about it in the doctors presence. He listened in silence for a time and then observed, "Ah, I see you have been reading paper which wrote for an encyclopedia of sci ence."
