The Third Hand.

How often the little things in life
make impressions that linger in our
memories long after the larger events
are forgotten. Several years ago l was
making a visit In a family where there
We're several daughters. One of the
girls brought a hat into the sewing
room one morning and prepared to
trim it. Before doing anything else
she took "a hatpin and pinned the hat
firmly to her skirts at the knees, so
that she had both hands free and held
the ribbon and flowers in place with
her left hand while she sewed them
with her right.-Philadelphia North

Diamonds and Glass.

The diamond. instead Of being real
solid. is a mass of atoms all In rapid
and violent motion. The edge Of the
stone is formed Of these moving MOLE
cules as well as the body. Now, glass
is also made up of moving atoms,
though they do not move so rnpidly or
so violently as the diamond atoms.
When the diamond edge. therefore. is
applied to the glass surface the dia-
n.ond atoms drive the glass atoms out
Of the way and force passage.

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 o0O grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat fer is left in the blood This brings on many diseases and symptoms-which vary widely but may include pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, 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 the danger is overcome. Doan s Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medicine.
 Mrs. Joseph Mason, IS Battey street, Putnam, says: 'sI suffered severely from lame back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills did me more goo han any other remedy I ever used, removing the mains and aches and making my kid news normal.
