And sits within bis separate universe.

What to the drOver is this lilied pool?
A hollow for his swine to wallow in.

Nothing but lodges for their ringing

But to the poet all this soaring height
Smokes with the footsteps Of the passing

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their uneeaslng Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The Kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains Of impure matter daily, when un- 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, gout. gravel. disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart. debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the urine. etc. But If you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

 The new chancellor's speeches on social questions while minister of the interior were liberal in tone. This was particularly marked in an address in which he condemned certain aspects of morality In Berlin and defended warmly the need of the German work man of proper recreation. He has de- voted himself to improving the condi- ton of the artisan class, whereas al- most all social legislation has been ap- piled up to the present time to the working proletariat. As minister of the interior he distinguished himself by preparing an imperial insurance law and a law controlling right of asscmblage, both of which passed the reichstag. He possesses an excellent knowledge of the English language and Is q student of American affairs.

HUGO AS AN ARTIST.
Tho ersa, French Writers Opinion of
 His Own Drawings.


 When Victor Hugo's Marion De- lorme' was read before the troupe of the Porte. .Saint-Martin theater, the actor Laferriere, then young man, protested against the insignificant role assigned him, in which he would have only ten lines to reclte. Hugo prompt ly reduced him to silence by thunder Ing, Ten lines of Victor Hugo are something not to be refused-for they endure" Hugo attached similar ex- aggerated significance to everything he did and to every object that was in any way associated with him.
 For Instance. he considered his draw ings, which were for the most part commonplace enough. of sufficient im- portauce to make them the subject of testamentary provision. In his will of Aug. S1, 1881, he wrote, q give my drawings and everything which shall be drawn by me to the National IL brary of Paris. which will be one day the Library of the United States of Europe"
 Hugo's drawings are said to have been produced more often than not in the following manner: If blot of ink chanced to fall on his paper while he held his pen aloft in quest of word or rhyme, he enlarged the spot ab- sentmlndedly and made additions to 1t instinctively under the influence of q species of subconscious direction un- til he had produced a sinister moon light scene or venerable bourg dom- mating with Its brlstling ruins the shudderlng waters of river of legend" He elaborated with great care, however, during his irksome exile al Guernsey certain crude impressions he had transferred to his sketchbook during his journeys In the valley of the Rhine Furthermore. being a great lover of children, he drew figures of the most extrayagant sort for the amusement of the young people of his household.--Alvan L.
