All glory to the Magic Washing Stick my clothes were as white as snow, writes Mrs. Salie Cummings, Marquez, Texas. Not soap nor a washing powder but a peculiar article which makes dirty clothes clean and beautiful without a bit of rubbing. Sold by grocers and druggists, three lOc sticks for 25c. or by mail from A. B. Richards, Medicine Co, sherman. Texas.

Where the Fabians First Met.

Clifford's Inn, by Temple Bar, which was recently sold at auction in Lon don, has already undergone good deal of reconstruction, though this has not SO far materially damaged the last of the cloistral retreats behind the frontage ot Fleet street. When the old buildings disappear, as seems in evitable, there will go good many sets of chambers associated with ia. nous men-among them the rooms occupied for many years, while his books were slowly making way among the discerning, by that pure eccen- tric Samuel Butler of "Crewhon." It was, by the way, ill the little old hall of Clifford's Inn that the weekly meet. ings of the Fabian society were held for at least a decade and half. It was there, indeed, that the old gang Sidney Webb, Bernard Shaw, Hu- bert Bland, Graham Wallas, Sydney Olivier and the rest-finished and practised the debating game which In the nineties made them so power full a band of controversialists.-Man- chester Guardian.

A FAIR WARNING
One That Should Be Heeded by
 Pine Bluff Residents.

Frequently the first sign of kidney trouble is slight ache or pain in the loins. Neglect of this warning makes the way easy for more serious troup- les-dropsy gravel Bright's disease. 'Tis well to pay attention to the first sign. Weak kidnueys generally grow weaker and delay is often danger ous. Residents of this locality place reliance in Deans Kidney Pills. This tested remedy has been used in kid ney trouble over 50 years-is recom- mended all over the civilized world Read the following:
 Mrs. B. Sylvester, 1116 w. Fourth Ave, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "A rel ative was cured of kidney disease by Doan's Kidney Pills. I have also talk en them for backache and other kid ney troubles which have made Deans Kidney Pills positive cure in our fam fly. I am glad to tell others hoy greatly they helped us."
 Price '50c, at all dealers. Don simply ask for kidney remedy-ge Don's Kidney Pills-the same tha Mrs. Sylvester recommends. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Comparative Goodness.

Better" is sweet, comforting little word, I think-a modest, unassuming little word that means a great deal more than she seems to express. She stands in line with her two sisters, Coed and Pest. 1 remember that in grammar school it was hard for me to learn that better came after good. always wanted to say gooder and goodest. After I got used to the com parison. however, it was moderately easy for me, and I always liked the middle term more than the rest. Il is so easy and no more than you should be to be good, and it is so hard and somehow so snobbish. to be best Better seems commendable and easy to reach and rather satisfactcry.-The Christian Herald.

 Kaiserin Has Cause to Worry.

 War with it's long weeks of uncer- tainty and anguish is bearing espe- cially hard on Mary of England and the kaiserin. The latter has six tall sons at the front. She knows they will be marks of the hostile sharp shooters. There is the crown prince,
 leading one of the armies in the west through Luxemburg and Neuf- chateau. He is the most ferocious pan German of them all and he can expect scant pity if he falls into hos- tile hands. There is Adalbert, with the fleet, almost sure to be annihilat- ed if it gives battle to England's su- perior squadrons. News of the vic tories and of bold deeds the kaiserin receives, but her heart must tremble nevertheless as she learns of the sad fate of Bertha of Lippe.
 Queen Mary Regretful.
 Mary's two sons have gone forth to battle. Albert, her sailor prince, has been landed from the Collingswood, ill with appendicitis. The prince of Wales is with the famous Glendale guards. He is small and sickly, not at all the martial figure that the present occasion demands.
 What pity that the Black Prince of old cannot lead the hosts of Eng land on the plains of France again! English royalty suffers sadly in com parison with German when it comes to fighting qualities. The traditions of Richard the Lion Hearted, who hacked at the Moslems until the skin of his palm came off with his battle axe, are not upheld. And this fact is certainly not unknown to Queen Mary, nor is she indifferent to it. The pale little fellow, whose feet she has been so careful to see that he did not wet, is going to war with the grim Prussians and her heart goes with him.
 One woman, Wilhelmina of Holland, bears the principal burdens of state in a crisis that might have taxed Elisabeth of England or Catherine of Russia. So far she has preserved the neutrality of her beloved Netherlands. But how long E is hard to tell. Her southern provinces are under martial law, her army is mobilized and her dikes are mine dready to let in the sea-and now she sits, waiting the outcome of the universal war that rages just without her doors.

Snow-Proof Boots.

Members of arctic expeditions have found that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture for snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are iE more or less constant use for long period of time. This is prevented by an oc- casional application of shellac, which effectually keeps the moisture out, even when subjected to the hardest wear. Shellac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the thongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re- sisting the moisture when moving over the wet snow. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less ef- fort The thongs which have been treated with shellac are also said to dry out quicker after use than others

Motorcycle as chaff Cutter.

A farmer at Bantnall, Salcp, Eng. land, has fixed his motorcycle on a stand against the wall of the farm buildings. and it drives chaff-cutter and turnip cutter at the same time. It does not cost much to work it. The turnip cutter is on the same level as the cycle. and is connected by a kind of bicycle chain. The chaff-cutter is placed above the turnip-cutter on an- other floor and connected by two-inch belting. After it has been on some little time the engine gets hot, so a fan is made to revolve by the side. to keep it cool It is also used for churning milk. This saves a great deal of time for the workmen because 1t can do the two jobs at once

Nutmeg Poison.

A German medical journal, the Munich Medizinische Wochenschrift, gives a curious story of two cases of poisoning from nutmeg. an article in daily use in food and drink. Two ser
 want girls partook of a mixture made up of two ground nutmegs, small quantity of powdered cinnamon and half liter, about one pint Of hot wine. One girl drank the greater part. the other but small portion. Both were taken to the hospital uncon- scious. The one who drank the great CT part remained in stupor for three days and it was not until the fifth day that she recovered her senses. The other. who like the first developed failure of memory, vertigo and son. nOlence. was not so long in recovery. Nutmeg contains an etherial oil that Is recognized poison.
