WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have SO much to go through in life that it is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache. headache, dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Deans Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting. bending and stooping: they are bound by custom, to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry If you feel tired and dragged out--if you have backache and bearing-down pains. headache. dizzy spells. fsintness and lack amb; ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trorble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Arn my kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there Is brick dust sediment. or a stringy settling in tho urine: if passages are too frequent and copious. or scsnty and painful. tt Is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has been working on new scheme in connection with the dead letter office that Is great expediting the work of that division of the postofiice de- partment and ought to result In giv- ing a much more prompt and effective service than has ever been given to the public by the department before. Instead of holding letters in the dead letter office for months at a time as has heretofore been the practice, a large force of clerks has been put at work opening and inspecting misdi- rected mail as soon as it reaches the office. All of the letters which can be returned to the senders are imme- diately forwarded and the aggregate value of this mail is shown from the fact that from S6,OOO to $1O,OO0 a month is thus restored to small trans mitters in the inspected letters. Last month 80 per cent of the mail which was returnable was sent back under the new system and in little while it will be possible for all of the mail having the address of the sender in- side to be returned as soon as 1t reaches the dead letter office.

Speaking of treaties the extra ses- sion discussion has now assumed the phase where 1t Is definitely announced In a good many papers that an extra session will be called after the 4th of March at which the Japanese school question with It's resulting Ja- panese treaty. the Santo Domingo treaty and currency reform may all be calmly and leisurely discussed an'i disposed of without fuss or hurry How correct this forecast vii! pfo.r can be told better after the 4th ol March says a Washington writer. It is quite certain that there can be no serious attempt to consider the Santo Domingo treaty at the present session. The Japanese situation is in such a shape that the president and the state department probably would rather have congress out of the way while the details were being settled. Trea- ties, of course. are always discussed in executive session and equally of course. the reports of these discus sions are printed in the next issue of the newspapers to the inconvenience of the state department and the pleas ure of such senators as have anything to gain hy muddying the waters of di. piomacy. The exchanges between this government and that of Japan are now in such shape that a treaty can very probably be framed that will meet the ideas of both governments and eventually get through the senate But 1t will take several weeks more of deliberation and negotiation be fore this solution is definitely reach oi

TIP SYSTEM IN GERMANY.
A Nuisance in Private Houses Now
 According to French Writer.

The tip nuasance in private house Is described by Jean Huret in Paris newspaper. He says that the holdup system for the benefit of house ser wants and coachmen is shameless. It isn't the expense he cares about nor even the annoyance of having to search your pockets every time you make your exit from house, nor yet the modification you feel if you for get the tip; what OyerwhelmS him with surprise is the coarseness of the practice. How would Frenchman feel, he asks, if he found his guests distributing small change to his ser wants?
 Huret relates what he says Is q typical instance of the abuse. It took place under his own eyes in Ham, burg.
 A resident of that city and his wife took a lady who had been lunching at their house to her home in their victoria. AS she alighted she fum- bled in her handbag until she found her purse.
 Then she extracted quarter and handed it up to the coachman with a polite gesture. The man touched his hat Huret wished to sink Into the earth. but the host and hostess scem- ed to take 1t as matter of course The couple drove on with him to his hotel He confesses that he had not the courage of the lady. He gave the coachmau no tip. Literally he did not dare to infiict such an outrage on pleasant people who had shawn him many attentions. But later he was told that he had made big mistake that he had failed to do the chic i thing
 His objection is not to the uni versal custom of making presents in houses wnere one stops several days or weeks to the servants specially intrusted with ones comfort. In France. too, 1t is not unusual to send New Years gifts to servants in houses where one is frequent visi- tor. But in Germany the hand of the servant is held out at every form Of private entertainment and the gra- tuities are virtually solicited and given right under the eyes of the hosts. The only parallel he knows | to it is in some country place in the north of France, where he has seen guests slip pieces of money under their plates at the close of dinner party to be found by the servants who waited on them.
 In German houses where large entertaining is done the servants brawl among themselves after the guests have departed over the distri- button of the trinkled and freely dis cuss the degree of liberality showr by various individuals. To prevent bad blood and to keep servants from leaving on account of these quarrels boxes, into which all the amounts received by all servants are thrown.

Tn England they are trying the ex- pertinent of road painting with tar The manner of doing the work is as follows: The road is first thoroughly cleaned by dry sweeping, then rough ly distilled tar is poured over t and spread evenly, after which sand is thrown on and the road is immediate ly ready for traffic. A fortnight or three weeks later second coating is applied and in short time the road has the appearance of an asphalt street. It appears, also. that short stretch of road in Beckenham was treated with tar oil, which Is poured over again until the pores of the road exude the preparation. This tar oil however, dries up quickly, does not make an oily and nasty mess in wet weather and is said to be much cheap CT than the tar process, but it requires more frequent renewal. A compara- lively small quantity of the material is available. and this is difficulty in the way of its general adoption. The Beckenham district council is spending about 5000 in laying down two short stretches with tie most up to date tar macadam.

TOO MUCH EXPOSITION.

Tho common testimony of those who
have visited the jamestown EXPOSE
ton is that it is a disappointment ana
a failure. Few expositions are fin
ished before the opening. This is SO
far behind that it probably will not be
finished when it closes. The general
impression is that it would not De
worth seeing if it were finished, ex-
cept for the national exhibits of the
army and navy.
There was no demand for this expo
sition and there were no adequate re-
sources to carry it through. The ex-
position was planned to benefit the
thriving little trading and manufac-
turing town of Norfolk. which has
been built up by railroad, manufac-
turing and steamship trusts as
money making enterprise.
In the midst of historical associa-
tons of great interest, says the Min
neapolis Tribune, neither the town
nor it's surroundings has any partic-
ular natural attraction for the visl-
tor. The exposition company appar-
emily had no money to furnish attrac-
tive features besides those supplied
or paid for by the federal government
Most of these were brief and temper
airy and the others soon pail on visi-
tors taught to demand variety above
all things. The exposition is likely to
be a failure financially, as it has been
in point Of interest.
In that event it will probably do the
country the good service Of discour-
aging purely speculative expositions
for which there is no demand, and
which lack adequate resources to pre-
sent attractions. The country was
pretty tired of expositions after ST
Louis, but the success Of the modest
and reasonable attempt at Portland
started them up again. Now there is
talk of another on the North Pacific
coast, which may neutralize the
wholesome encouragement of James
town.
We do not know how far the sue
cess Of these remote expositions is due
to the novel charms of the long jour-
ney. 1t is pretty clear that the east
has had enough of them at any rate.
