WOMEN'S WOES

1t does seem that women have more
than a fair share of he aches and
pains that atflict humanity; they must
keep up, must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more suffering than any
other organ of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
tanned. Read of a remedy for kidneys
only that helps and cures the kidneys.
Mrs. j. Mocken, of Darlington, Wis,
says: Il suffered from some kidney
trouble for several years. often had
dull aching in the small of my back and
left side, also experienced headaches
and dizzy spells. After doctoring for
some time without getting relief,
noticed that the kidney secretions were
unnatural in appearance. | then pro-
cured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and
began using them. In a short time |
was feeling better and have improved
steadily since. The kidneys are much
stronger and do not suffer from head
ache and feel better in every way. |
heartily recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills.

The Snanish GaIIeon.

Primarily the galleon was but a
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony Of fate she became. almost from
her inception, a center of the fiercest
fighting. Square rigged and high Of
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
Of waist, with massive bulwarks and
forecastle, and poop three and four
decks high, she possessed picturesque
appearance, but little Of sensible naval
architecture. The stem was clumsy,
broad and blunt and smashed heavily
through the waves TO the great detri
ment Of speed. This and the towering
stern presented such a surface to the
wind that the difficulties Of steering
were quite formidable. and six or eight
men at the wheel were not unusual.
The method In this apparent madness
Of marine construction was the land
lubber's instinct, still strong In men Of
the sea OF those days, to reduce all
naval maenuvers to the stand up and
knock down tactics of the land fight on
a common platform.-John c. FitzpGt-
rick In Scribner's.

Office he saw the recipient tear up his

The traveller. nothing daunted, re-
uuested that Mr.. B. should return his

stroyed. In minute the boy returned
and handed him twopence and re-
marked that Mr.. r. had destroyed the

cover the damage.
The traveller succeeded in getting an

Mr.. B. read on 1t, "These cards are two

He got his interview, and Mr. b. be-

-four will be adulterated, so it is up to
us to be able to test Its purity for our
selves. The chief ingredients that arc
mixed In -four are whiting and alum,
both OF which can be discovered by
simple tests. To discover alum In
-four II is only necessary to remember
that II coagulates with milk. Soak n
piece Of bread In water until 1t Is en-
tirely dissolved. then put II on to boil
with an equal quantity of milk. If
there is any alum lurking around great
clots will be formed. Even simpler Is
the test for whiting. Moisten the
thumb and first finger with little
olive oil and rub between them good
sized pinch Of -four. If II turns brown.
but does not get sticky, its purity Is
pretty certain. Writings presence
will be shown by sticky, pasty feel
Ing and no diScoloration.
