less Thar 10 percant.
3. The credit point beng any suhJ.c
carried n semester OF eighteen weeks
with five recitations a week, each of
forty minutes in length, with a semester
grade grade of 10 percent, it follows that
subjects carried as above with the eX-
ception that they recite one two, three

The Retort Courteous.

When Davy Crockett sat in the
national Legislature as a representa-
tive of the State of Texas, he had
many clashes with men of more ed
ucation but less wit than himself.
1t is told of him that one day, while
standing in front of his hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue, a drove OF
mules trotted by under the custody
of an overseer from one of the
stock-farms in Virginia. A Con-
gressman from Boston, who was
standing near by, attracted Crock
ett's attention to the unusual sight,
saying:
Hello, there, Crockett; here's a
lot Of your constituents on parade.
Where are they going?'
The celebrated hunter looked at
the animals with a quizzical glance,
and then turning to the other, said
quietly, but with much emphasis,
They are going to Massachusetts
to teach school. ."-IiarYer'S weekly.

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 un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing dizziness, ,irreg-
ular heart, debility, drowsiness, drop
sy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if
ynu keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
