Psperinq Damp Walls.

An excellent and comparatively in
expensive way to paper damp walls is
the following: Paint corrugated card
board, such as is sold for packing
bottles. ETC., on both sides with as
phalt varnish and fix it when dried
with fve-eighths inch tin tacks to the
damp wall so that the smooth surface
is directed toward the room and the
corrugations run from ceiling to floor
against the wall At the floor level
one-half inch should be left uncovered.
The cardboard should then be covered
with coarse hessians or other packing
material, on which a plain covering
paper and lastly the wall hangings
may be pasted. The skirting board
should be removed while lacking on
the cardboard, which should have
small holes of an inch in length made
in the raised corrugations at intervals
of ten to twelve inches before it is at
tached to the wall-Architects and

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Mrs. E. @. Wilkie, living at High
street, Barton, VT, says: "Severe
pains in my back bothered me for a
long time, and there were other symp-
toms of a disordered condition of my
kidneys. I had known of many peo-
pie who had been cured of the same
trouble by Doan's Kidney Pills, and
deciding to give them a trial, L pro-
cured a box at Barron's pharmacy.
Three boxes made such change In
my condition, that did not consider
it necessary to continue their use.
Many of my friends have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills with the same
beneficial results"

A Case Where Attempted Punishment

Ordinary punishments answered very

easy to devise punishments that would
reform Clara. This was because she
was philosopher who was always
turning her attention to finding some
thing good and satisfactory and enter
aiming in everything that came her
way. Consequently it was sometimes
pretty discouraging to the troubled
mother to find that after all her pains
and thought in inyenting what she
meant to be a severe and reform COM
pelling punishment the child had en-
tirely missed the seventies through her
native disposition to get interest and
pleasure out Of them as novelties. The
mother, in her anxiety to find pen
atty that would take sharp hold and
do it's work effectively, at last resorted.
with a sore heart and with a reproach-
full conscience, to that punishment
which the inc0rrigible criminal in the
penitentiary breads above all the other
punitive miSeries which the warden in
dicts upon him for his good-solitary
confinement in the dark chamber. The
grieved and worried mother shut Clara
up in very small clothes closet and
went away and left her therefor fit:

longer. by that time she was suffering
so intensely with sorrow and compass
sion for the little prisoner that she was
not able to wait any longer for the dis
treSSed sounds which she had counted
upon to inform her when there had
been punishment enough and the re-
form accomplished. She opened the
closet to set the prisoner free and take
her back into her loving favor and for.

one expected. The captive had manu-

"Heading can be made much great

you have perhaps DCticed with

Well, you have PROBABLY noticed that
those who can SO rivet their attention

make it a point to talk about what
they have read.
"That is the secret. Try it. Read
something, then tell some one about.
it. Do this with books as well as with
papers. Soon you will notice that in
reading a story you fix III your mind
the things you want to relate. You
get the writer's point Of view, then
you fix upon the points he has pre-
scented.
cat the beginning your story telling
will lack the completeness Of the story
as written. and you will notice that
your shortcomings in this direction
are due to hstless reading. This will
correct itself just to the extent Of
your ambition to become a reader for
all there is in reading. I have given
this bit of advice before and have
been thanked many times by those
who followed my directions. Try it
