A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP

urinary troubles by removing the cause, by curing the kidneys.
 Seventy five years ago Doan's Kid ney Pills were curing kidney trou- bles in a settlement of Quaker far mers. Now the remedy is used in all the civilized world. It $ praised abroad in many tongues. It is recom- mended at home by people you know. PHOENIX TESTIMONY
 2. Mrs j. Hurst, 501 w. Washington Street, Phoenix, Ariz., says: 'I had q constant. dull ache in the small of my back for a long time and while it was not severe, it was sufficient to make me miserable. l often went to bed with a backache and got up in the morning with it still clinging to me. There was also a weakness across my loins that made it diff cult for me to stoop and if l did bend over. I became very dizzy. The kid ney secretions were too frequent in passage, causing me much annoyance and I was bothered by a swelling in my limbs, in fact. my whole system procured a supply of Doans Kidney Pills at the Adams Pharmacy and the use of two boxes disposed of the backache and all fault with my kid neys. I can not say too much in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills"

ENVELOPES TO SEND ABROAD.
Made Now Lined with Thin Tissue
Paper Of Any Desired Color.

mice sorts of envelopes they have
nowadays for foreign correspondents"
said girl who writes letters abroad.
You know the envelopes, like the
letter sheets, are made Of thin paper
so that they won't weigh too much
and increase the postage.
with an envelope of thin, plain
paper the writing on the letter might
show through. So they came to make
these envelopes of a paper that was
printed on the inner side with close
lines in pretty plaid pattern that you
couldn't see through and that served
very well, but now you can buy for
eign letter envelopes that are made
opaque with lining of the thinnest
tissue paper of any desired color.
"Such envelopes you will find and
with lining of various colors in stock.
envelopes lined with blue or with red
or purple or tan or violet, but il you
don't find among these just what you
want they will show you a book of
tissues with samples of so or more col
ors or shades from which you can Sc
lect first just the color you do fancy
or the color you call your own and
then you have the envelopes made to
order"

THE GIRL FROM THE COUNTRY
Habit That Enabled Her Instantly "a
Be Singled Out.

Said visitor to teacher In q bust
ness college:
''That girl from the country seems
to be the brightest student In the
ROOM"
At the request of the teacher she
designated more particularly the girl
she had in mind.
"Oh, yes" said the teacher, "she
is very bright, but how did you know
she is from the country? She doesn't
look countrified."
Her habit of washing her hands
SO often gave her away" said the Wis
itor. Il have been sitting here about
two hours. In that time she has
washed her hands three times. No
city girl would have done that: she
would have sharpened pencils or
turned over the dusty books. and SIM
ply have polished her hands on her
pocket handkerchief and gone on
working. The country girl would find
it impossible to work under such con-
ditions. She must have clean hands.
All country people have mania for
washing their hands. After each task
down go their hands into basin of
water. City life cures most country
habits; frequent bathing of the hands
is the last to 60"

Consider, my daughter, ere thou
hast said yes to the cadet of the slim
waist and naughty air. For verify l
say unto you. sad is the fate of the
bride of the regimental goat. For her
lord is naughty no more. but even
the sergeants speak of him as a shave

gifts. yea, many of silver and glass,
so that the packing of them is a weari-
ness to the flesh, and thou shalt have
no cupboards to stow them therein.
And as soon as thy curtains hang fair
at thy windows, then shalt thou be
ranked out, till no spot on the post
shall deem to be thine own. And at
last it may be that rooms in the bach
elOrs' building shall be assigned thy
spouse; then shall bursts of music
trouble thy dreams, and in WEAKNESS
of spirit thou shalt say: 'Why did l

of rank have spacious dwellings. Had

wedding gifts had not been fractured

Able to Operate on LUNGS.

A German physician, by means Of a
glass cabinet with a partial vacuum,
has solved the problem of operating
on the lungs. He probably has paved
the way to successful surgery in cases
of internal cancer, and possibly of
consumption where the lung tissue is
affected. BY the use of his cabinet
the patient, it is said, can breathe
easily with the chest cavity open and
without danger of collapse of the
lungs, which has been the danger
hitherto, owing to atmospheric pres
sure. After the surgeon and his as
sistants have taken their place inside
this cabinet the subject is placed up
on the operating table and his head al
lowed to project through tight-fitting
rubber collar in the wall of the cabi
net By means of a suction pump the
air inside is then reduced to negative

With regard to the dificulty of de-

beware. There is a story Of IA
tigued English pedestrian staggering

for "Abendmahl." What he wanted
was supper c.AbendessenD; what he
got was a clergyman ready to admin

"Abendmahl' In practice means), un-

the old fashion after supper in the

Has Made Quartz FusibIe.

1t is not so long ago that the text
books on minerals used to describe
quartz as 'infusible." The electric
furnace has made this an error, and
now some manufacturers of chemical
devices devote special catalogues to
apparatus made of this substance.
There are two grades On the market
the transparent kind, made from rock
crystal and looking almost precisely
like ordinary glass, and the cheaper
translucent variety, made of common
silica, and sometimes called In the
trade "electroQuartz." Both kinds are
valuable in the chemical laboratory,
because vessels made of either resist
all acids but hydrofluoric, and cannot
be cracked by the change Of temper

full also for its insulating properties.

Error About Patents.

There is a very general notion that
when the United States government
gives a man a patent for an invention
by this very act the patentee In in
possession of exclusive and inalien-
able rights to his invention for
term Of years. Now this is the very
thing that does not necessarily exist.
and the very thing that patentees. in
vestOrs and the public would like to
have established. Most patents are
exploited by others than inventors,
and the money for the purpose is
largely supplied by those with little
knowledge Of the laws 1t has hap
pened time and time again that the
governmental patent has proved
worthless. It'll used to be that it was
little more than prima facie evidence to
be used in litigation. OF recent years
there has been some Improvement in
the laws and practice. but at present
there Is no governmental guaranty be-
hind the papers issued to any inven-
tor.

Harriet McMurphy Still In Limelisht.

Harriet McMurphy Still In Limelight.
When Harriet McMurphy butted into
the Central City merchants in execution
of her duties as pure food inspector she
had little idea she was starting tempest
which was going to get out OF the tea-po
and spread over the whole house and
down into the basement. Yet neverthe-
less she has something worth while, and
now learned lawyers are burning mid
night oil in weighing the stupendous
proposition Of whether pure leaf lard put
up in hermetically sealed cans is to be
classed as canned goods, or whether it is
just package stuff, and as such ought to
have the correct weight stamped on the
outside.
On this proposition hangs the whole
controversy, and it is because of this
that some of our best merchants. many
of them deacons in churches, and one of
them, G. M. Scudder, formerly county
official and an honOred citizen. are ar
ranged before the bar of justice on n
criminal charge and will have to answer
before the higher courts.
As We mentioned some time ago, NJ.
G. Scudder, A. Fouts, w. w. Moore, G.
O. Agnes and Chas. Huxford were hauled
into court on the charge Of selling lard
as mentioned above. in unmarked sealed
cans, contrary to the form of the pure
food law. As We mentioned also at the
time, our merchants we're asspotless and
free from guilt in the matter as little
lambs, for the reason that they we're not
selling the lard on the claim that it
weighed anything, bat merely by the
can, as they received it from the packing
houses. We suggested at the time that
it was shame the state officers had not
the nerve to 60 after the big packers
direct, as they had the money to fight
the matter and could most likely have
any fine imposed set aside by the higher
courts.
Now the big packers have taken the
matter up themselves and are going to
make test case on the arrests made
here. When the hearing came before
Judge Peterson on the 9th, T. ].
Mahoney of Omaha, sent out by the
Omaha packers, and A. P. Moran, sent
out by the Nebraska City packers, we're
here to represent the local merchants,
and upon their advice preliminary ex-
animation was waived, and the whole
bunch was bound over to he district
court under 500 bonds each. The trial
will probably occur during the term of
the district court which conve2es in the
city next Monday. If things do not go
to suit the packers they will carry the
case to the supreme court, and will fight
the case to q finish there.
In the meantime our merchants are
sitting back and enjoying the experience
of being involved in a law case in which
all the expenses are paid for by someone
else.-Central City Republican.

ditions which mean a lingering death.
The thing has to be proved to US

that 1t has been proved beyond Ques-

ron PHYSICIANS AND NURSES.
NeW Watch That indicates Number Of
Beats Of the Pulse.

A new watch has been invented for
the use of physicians and nurses In
counting the pulse. The watch indi-
Gates, without mental calculation, the
number Of beats of the pulse in a min
ute. 1t operates on the principle of
stOpwatch. BY pressing the pusE-but-
ton large second hand is set in mo-
ton. and the counting of the pulsa-
tons begins. At the twentieth pulsa-
ton the motion of the hand is stopped
by another pressure of the push-but-
ton. The dial accurately indicates the
exact number of pulsations per min
ute. A third pressure on the push-but-
ton brings the hand back to the start
ing point. The use of this instrument
does away with the necessity of OBJ
serving the progress of the watch
while taking the pulse. and in addi-
ton insures an absolutely correct rec
ord. The instrument is also a chrome

SAD STORY OF A WASTED LIFE.

told in Answers:
Half a century ago a young Eng
lishman, while travelling, met a beau
tiful girl and promptly fell in love
with her. A few days later he re-
turned home and his first act was to
write her a love letter. In it he told
her. that if she regarded his proposal
favorably he would expect a reply
by the next mail To this letter he
received no answer, and so disappOint-
ed was he that, from that time until
his death, which occurred recently. he
shut himself up in his home and lived
like hermit Most of his time was
spent in reading. and the day after his
funeral the heirs began to search the
books of his library, for they thought
it quite possible that the eccentric old
man might have hidden some bank
notes in them. They found none, but
in a tattered old pamphlet they found
another kind of nOte-the love letter
which was written so years ago. and
which the writer had forgotten to
