Shakespeare has arisen to contest
the honors of the one who had
only 5000 word tools for his use.
Shakespeare did not travel, or
speak many tongues.
Perhaps his power lay in stay
ing with himself. in digging in his
own mind and soul for knowledge
and wisdom, and in making no
effort to find unusual words
wherewith to convey his mean
ing
II would be interesting to know
just what he would have done
with our vast vocabulary Of words
if he had been given one of the
new dictionaries.
But it is more interesting 10
realize what he did without these
words. And it is worth thinking
about, whenever we are tempted
to complain, that we lack the
necessities for making a success
in any one direction.
The mind that is bent on a pur-
pose and the soul that is afame
with aspiration, and the hear
that is strong with courage
MUST attain success. Nothing
can prevent it.
The man who is possessed o.
these three things will fashion
his tools, and hew his way
through rocks. and build bridges
over rivers. and cut stairs In
frowning mountains. and climb
over them to the goal beyond. All
elements of success lie in our
selves.

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part of this fltering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are IT.
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, ETC.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick

ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-just make you feel better all

It is torture for a guest to spend half

soft flannel held over the end of the

the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the

be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

Tintinu Lace,

A weak solution of permanganate
of potash will tint laces that deep
shade Of ecru SO much used at pres
ent.
1t must be carefully dissolved, 9th
erwise it will produce stains which
are impossible to remove.
Test the dye with small piece Of
muslin before dipping the lace. If
the color is too deep, dilute the solu-
ton until the required hue is obtained
Never allow the lace to remain in the
dye; simply dip in and out again.
Tea or a solution of coffee is ex.
cellent to tint laces. The latter pro
duces the fashionable string color.
Lace trimmings to match the mate
rial of the frock are much used this
season.
With two or three simple colors
even an amateur can produce good
results.
