break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. IF you are feel

taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the

It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being

It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is

"If the Eye Is Manned"

Necessity gives to the eye a pre-
cious power of seeing, and in the
same way it gives precious power
OF feeling to the whole body. Some
times it seems as If the very sub
stance Of my flesh were so many eyes
looking out at will upon a new
world created every day. The 81
lence and darkness which are said
to shut me in, open my door most
Hospitality to countless sensations
that distract, inform, admonish and
dmuse. With my three trusty guides
touch, smell and taste-I make
many excursions into the borderland
of experience which is in sight of
the city of Light. Nature accom-
modates itself to every mans neces-
sity. If the eye is MANNED, so that
it does not see the beauteous face of
day, the touch becomes more poig-
nant and discriminating Nature pro-
ceeds through practice to strengthen
and augment the remaining senses.
For this reason the blind often hear
with greater ease and distinctness
than other people. The sense OF
smell becomes almost a new facul
ty to penetrate the tangle and
vagueness of things. Thus, accord
ing to an immutable law, the senses
assist and reinforce one another

Is 1t Right?

Is it right to build churches to
save men, asks a contemporary, and
at the same time license shops that
destroy them?
Is it right to license men to sell
that which will make a man drunk,
and then punish the man for being
drunk?
Is it right to derive a revenue out
of traffic which no decent man de-
tends?
Is it right to license a man to
make paupers and then tax sober
men to take care of them?
Is it right to license a saloon to
teach vice, and then tax people for
schools to teach virtue?
Is it right to teach boy to re-
strain his passions, and then vote to
license a place where his worst pas
sions will be inflamed?
Is it right to take care of your
own boy and vote to license a place
which ruins your neighbours?
Is it right to preach justice and
charity, and then to license a thing
which robs the widow and orphans
of their bread?

Recognizing the Stars.

One has fine sense Of compan-
ionship with the stars when on look
ing out of the window at any hour
of the night he can see a familiar
face twinkling at him as If in
friendly recognition of the fact that
he must know it is due at that hour
and is expecting to see it; or when
on a cold midnight in late Febru-
airy, before the trees and birds have
announced the springtime, he sees a
bright, blush, scintillating point
just pushing up over the eastern
horizon and knows that Vega has
come to grace the skies again and
that spring will surely come with
her. 49,.

year signs of the progress of the.
yaer as they appear in the skies as
well as on the earth. He will theh
associate the blooming of the blood
root and the first MARBLE of the blue
birds with the eastern splendor of
Arcturus and the blooming of the
naples. When he watches in the
daytime for the first blue violets,
he will look the same evening for
the blue twinkling face of Vega. He
will know that the iuncos and Sirius
leave us at about the same time in
the spring; and when the goldenrod
and the wild asters are blooming it
is time to look for Fomalhaut and
that Anatres is about to go; and
creaking, frosty night will make

The Lazy Lad


Young Albert was a lazy lad,
And idIed all the day.
He Was not really very bad.
But had a slotbful way.
He would not work. and even had
A great dislike for play.
On Journeys he could never go.
He tried and tried in vain;
But he was always late, and so
At home he would remain.
Because he was 30 very slow
He always missed the train.
Once he took up a slice OF bread
And looked at 1t in doubt,
And when they asked him why, he
said
As he began to pout,
THE butter is so hard to spread.
I'd rather go without"
And when the Christmas sleigh bells
rang,
And Santa Claus cried whoa"
And when the RENDERS swiftly
sprang
Across the winter snow,
His stockings he would never hang.
Because IL tired him 80.
1t made him tired to go to bed;
It made him tired to rise;
II made him tired to lift his head,
And tired to shut his eyes.
He would not wink, because, he
said,
II seemed like exercise.
And so through life young Albert
went.
A lazy, lazy lad,
He never earned a single cent,
And never wished he had.
Oh, he was very indolent,
And yet not really bad.
Arthur Macy, in st. Nicholas.

. ShrubS-SeIect Some This
Summer.

But there is another thing in con-
nection with this that 1 want to say.
While the Spireas, Forsythias and
others of the shrubs commonly plant
ed are all pretty, why do we so much
neglect our native shrubs?
Down at Pinehurst, N. c., where
the most skillful landscape artists of
the country have been employed, /
was glad to see that they have plant
ed clumps of our native Gall berry,
Hex glabra. This is so common that
people rarely think of planting it,
and yet its bright evergreen leaves
are very cheering in winter
Then down on the seaside there
are great thiekets of another of the
Hex family, Hex eassine, the Caro-
lima tea plant. 1t is a close relative
of the common holly, but has not
the prickly leaves. 1t makes larger
clusters of red berries than the COM
mon holly, and yet we hardly ever
see it planted.
Then on many a wooded hillside
there are clumps of the Kalmia lati-
folia, called by many ivy, and laurel,
and Calico bush. These, when in
bloom, are more snowy than the ex-
otto Grape myrtle, but no one plants
them. Where I now live there are
great thickets of them in bloom, and
when I asked~a neighbor why none
are planted in the lawns, he said that
