Many people never suspect their kid

symptoms Of kidney disorders. That is
juat where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The best
remedy TO use is Doan's Kidney Pills.

FUR The CHILDREN
A Milk Givinu Tree.

The COW tree of Venezuela yields a
milk of good quality. 1t forms large
forests along the seacoasts of that
country. It's milk, which is obtained
by making missions in the trunk, SO
closely resembles that from the COW,
both in appearance and quality, that
it is commonly used by the natives as
an article of food Unlike many other
vegetable milks, it is perfectly whole
some and very nourishing, possessing
an agreeable taste, like that of sweet
cream, and a pleasant balsamic odor.
says the London Telegraph. Its only
unpleasant property is slight amount
of sickness. The chemical analysis
Of this milk has shown it to possess
composition closely resembling some
animal substance, and, like animal
milk, it quickly forms a yellow, cheesy
scum upon it's surface and after few
days exposure to the atmosphere turns
sour

he shall kneel to. When this is set
tied upon, the person who is outside
is allowed to enter, and he kneels in
front of whom he thinks is the right
one. If he should make a correct
guess the company clap their hands.
and the person to whom he knelt goes
outside. If; however, the guess is an
incorrect one, the company hiss loudly,
and the guesser has to go outside,
come back and try again. Of course
it will make more amusement if when
a boy is sent outside the room girl
be chosen as the person to. whom he
has to kneel and the opposite if a girl
be outside of the room.

How He Liohted the Candles.

When John Keats. the poet. lay dy-
ing in Rome the most faithful watcher
at his bedside was his friend Joseph
Severn. During the hours of darkness
a solitary candle Illuminated the room,
and, in case, overcome by WEAKNESS,
he should drop asleep and allow this
candle to burn out, Severn devised a
plan by which it would light others
automatically. To the base Of the
burning candle he tied piece Of thin
Irvine, the other end of which he at
tached to the wick Of new candle
some yards away. AS the old end died
out the expiring flame caught the
Irvine and, Pickering up it like fairy
star, set light to the second candle. A
third or fourth was added, and the
invaIid's eyes never looked in vain
for the cheering light.

THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN HINTS FOR FARMERS
The Care of Farm Tools.

All machinery neglected produces
heavier draft and retards progress,
besides worrying horses and men,
writes an Ohio farmer in the New
England Homestead. Hands get out Of
humor operating such machinery, and
those following it to finish the work
lose time at the expense of the farmer
A good, cheap shed saves all this trou-
BILE and will prolong the life of imple-
ments sufficiently to actually pay in
terest on the cost of the shed. Corn
planters, riding plows, cultivators,
grain drills, mowers, hayrakes, ted
ders, potato planters, wagons and, in
fact, almost every tool but the binder,
can be brought to the barn at night
and unhitched in the shelter, hitched
up in the morning and taken to the
field as quickly and easily as the team
itself can be moved.
I use lubricating Oil or lard on plow
points and moldboards to prevent rust
if they are to be idle any great length
of time or if weather is rainy or damp
for few days at time. The binder
is always well covered at night. It is
also taken from the field and placed in
dry quarters as soon as the harvest is
off
