I \ Can you tell fortunes?\ she asked, leaning her elbows on the table and shuffling the cards. \ Some people's. Shall I try your mother's?\ Her mother was dozing in the armchair by the fire. \Oh don't be silly! Mamma's for- tune is told.\ \ Poor mamma!\ \Well you know what I mean—all that's worth telling. She refused the fair man and married the dark one; wasn't very rich and wasn't very poor —quite poor enough!\ She shrugged her shoulders and made a dainty grimace—alas! unnamable. \ Had two tiresome boys and one very nice girl— voila moi!\ \ Who was an incorrigable little flirt and tease,\ I suggested bitterly. \ Fortunes don't go into such de- tails about secondary persons, even if they happen to bo true; which they areu't.\ \Oh yes, they do.\ \ Since you know so much about it, you can tell mine.\ She scattered the cards toward mo with a crash. \ It's all right, mum; I'm only throwing the cards^it Cousin Harry.\ Her mother gave a sleepy smile and returned to her slumbers. \You mustn't blame me if the cards are uufavorable.\ \ I shall know you've made it up if they ar«.\ \ I wouldn't dream of jesting upon such a subject,\ I assured her. \ l (1 or- tuno-telliiig follows certain essential principles, which are immutable, and \- \ Should be practiced, not preached. Go oil.\ \ To start with, then, you are the Queen of Hearts.\ \Why?\ \ Becaus the Queen of Hearts rop- resents feminine beauty and charm.\ \ Oh!\ She leaned back and laugh- ed. \ Tf yoTi are only going to flatter me I won't liateu.\ \ I merely state a fact. You are the Queen of Hearts.\ \No I'm not. I'm spades or clubs, because I'm dark.\ \Excuse me, it is not a matter mere- ly of complexion, but of general ap- pearance. Spades represent plain people, diamonds passable people, clubs nice looking people, and hearts very nice looking people. Therefore you are the Queen of Hearts.\ \Lots of people wouldn't consider mo good looking at all.\ Her tono in- vited contradiction. \Very likely not.\ She flashed an indignant glance at me. \But tho fortune teller is the sole judge on these occasions.\ \I'm glad the fortuneteller is so ap- preciative. Of course, I know you're only pretending.\ She looked at me for denial, but I busied myself with the cards, \Goon!\ she cried. \ First I shuffle the cards—so. Then\ I cut them—so. You place your hand on top of mine.\ She did. \ Now I place my other hand on top of yours so -^and you put your other hand on top of mine \ \ I never heard of this before,\ said she doubtfully. Neither had I but it had occurred to me as an improve- meut. \Now you must sit quite still and silent for a full minute.\ \I know I shall laugh.\ \Then the fortune will bo spoiled.\ \ I don't believe it's necessary.\ \ Yes, it is—to place the teller and telleo on rapport.\ \ But we aren't yon know. We al- ways quarrel at least, you do.\ \ Couldn't we be, just for a minute, Milly?\ I didu't mean to speak* seri- ously, but I did. She nodded jjravftly, and sat looking at mo and I watched the pink color steal over her pretty face. 1 think it must have been two minutes that we sat like that, during which I forgave all her little wickedness. \ There!\ said I reluctantly. \ Now for thp fortune. Cut the cards, Mil- ly. The fortune must be your own making.\ '' You have ma.de me feel qnite seri- ous,\ suid she, with a nervous little laugh. \ It is going to be a serious fortune.\ I meant it to bo. \Then—then won't yon cut, too, Harry? To represent other people? I don't like all the responsibility. Please!\ So I cut too. It didn't mas- ter, you-floo, because I looked at the cards before I put them down in the shape of an opened fan round the Qucon of Hearts. Of course, I don't know anything about fortune telling, reajly. \Tho disposition of tho cards,\ I Baid gravely, \indicates many possi- bilities of happiness and good fortune, if yon take your opportunities; but much is left to your own decision.\ \What a nuisance! Don't they say how I shall decide?\ I shook my head. \ The hearts near the queen show that you are and will be much liked and admired.\ \ I believe you're making it up.'' \ The three kings next tolior indi cato three admirers—perhaps lovers.' \ Whoever can they be?\ \The King of Clubs, with the other clubs close by, I tak.e to be a soldier— good-looking, dashing, and, from, th diamonds in the same line not badly off. The hearts at the end of the lin denote that you have given him son* encouragement.\ \ I'm snre I haven't,\ said she wit some warmth. Of course she knew I meant Captain Kichards. \ The card are wrong.\ \ Perhaps they mean that you wil do so,\ I suggested inquiringly; bu' she twisted up her handkerchief anc made no answer. \The King of Diamonds, wit spades following, means an elder^ suitor who has prospered in trade. H is shown' by* the diamonds, ending with the knave, to have made a for tune, and retired handing over th business to his son. V I meant old Pars ley. \I call it very unkind of. ypu,, Har 'XJ.\ Her lip dropped a little, a,nd id to apolgia to ^ <' It isn't my do%. Vtvs the card*. \ Well, you know it isn't true. It's only \—she looked over her shoulder to see that her mother was still asleep —\ mamma's silliness. Why, he's as old as dad; and I wouldn't. You know I wouldn't.\ \The oardB leave it to you, Milly.\ \ Don't you believe me?\ She look- ed qnite hurt. \Of course—if you say so.\ I pat- ed her hand, which was lying on the iable, but she drew it sharply away nd rubbed the touch off -with her handkerchief. ^ \Well? Tho King of Hearts? What does he mean?\ I considered a moment. \ThoKing >f Hearts,\ I pronounced slowly, ' means a handsome young fellow who aid you a great deal of attention when you were staying with the Queen of luba, a dark relative —propably your ,unt.\ \I won't listen to another word!\ he cried indignantly. \It's a nasty, orrid fortnne and quite untrue. There!\ \ Very well.\ I made as if I would weep the cards together. \Don't be disagreeable.\ She look- d at me reproaohfully with one of her kaleidoscopic changes. \I want to ear it—my proper fortnne^—not non- ense.\ \Well isn't this true?\ \No it isn't.\ s \Didn't ho pay you a lot of atten- ion?\ \ Young Johnson?\ \Yes.\ He was the rival I really eared \ Nothing special.\ \So many pay you attention that u think nothing of it.\ \You silly fellow!\ she said scorn- ully. \ Why he's almost engaged to pusin Annie.\ I felt as though a weight was takon off me. \ Why,\ I said, \how stupid of me! 3he must bathe dark lady, I suppose. ought to have connected her with him instead of with you.\ \I don't believe you understand the brtnne business a bit.\ \ It's very difficult.\ I apologized. \ But you soo tho cards arc all right, vhen you read them properly.\ \What else do they say?\ \The next point is money. Tho even of diamonds, next to the knave f clubs—probably your uncle—indi- ates a legacy; and \ — \No no!\ she interrupted. \I don't rant to know about money.\ \ Well, the duration of life is shown •y\— \That doesn't matter,\ said she uickly, shrugging her shoulders. \Then I hardly know what olso here is to tell.\ I looked at it doubt- ully. There was one thing only that I anted to tell her. \ What do you ant to know, Milly?\ She put her elbow on the table and ested her hoad on her hand. Then he laughed nneasily, and I held my reath for a moment. \ Isn't there- I mean did you finish r ith—the—the—admirers, as you call hem?\ \There is another,\ I told her, \but e is hardly worth mentioning.\ \Why not? Because he doesn't aro for —doesn't admire, or whatever you Call it—much?\ \Oh no. But he is poor, you see. Being only tho King of Spades, he has o work for a living, so he admires at a distance. There are two cards bc- woon him and her, you see.\ \But said she very gently, \they are hearts.\ \Yes T said, \they are hearts; jeing two, they show that he is dis- antly related.\ We are second cous- ns, really. \ They indicate that he is /cry fond of her, but leave it doubtful f she is more than slightly attached to him.\ I looked appealingly to her, but her eyes were cast down. \ How do you make that out?\ sho sked at length. \ The card next to her is the two; but that by him is the ten; which means reat affection.\ \What does the rest of the line mean?\ \ The nine of spades, on the other side of the king shows that he has a Teat deal more work to do before he can be in a position to ask the knave of hearts-her father—for her hand. Meanwhile the eight of spades and tho ace of clubs show that ho must toil to some risk in a land aoross the sea.\ She clasped her hands suddenly and looked up. \ Oh, no, no!\ she cried. \Yes I said, quietly and sadly, \Where?\ Her dainty mouth was quivering. \Thecardsdo not say. But it is the Cape, I believe, where a rolativo has offered him a good berth.\ We looked at the cards in dismal si- lence for awhile. Then she smiled at me ever so brightly. '' There is the ace of hearts at the end of the line, Harry,\ she whisper ed. \ What does that mean?\ I took the hand near me gently ii mine. \ I think^ Milly,\ \ said, e.arn eatly, \ it must be, my \heart because it is over by you. Will you have, it dear?\ She looke.d down for a^moment, then pushed it ge,nt)y toward me. \1 think,\ ahe said, \ it must be my hear ^whioh is going over the sea with you.\— Black and White.

Uncle Black was tho personage of whom they spoke—a crabbed, ill-tem- pered, little old man—who lived in a superb old country seat among tho atskills. He had money to leave, but his nieces and nephews seoretly believed that it would bo a deal easier to go to California or Golconda or some of the fabulous places to dig for- tunes out, nugget by nugget, than to stay at home and earn them by making themselves acceptable to an old gen- tleman who has as many angles as a rose diamond, and as many prickly spikes of temper as a porcupine. Naomi Darkridge has tried it first. Naomi was a soft-voiced, slender girl, with a head which reminded one of a drooping lily. But in three weeks Naomi camo back half frightened out of her wits. Magdalena Darkridge went next; but Magdalena, although a fine, tall girl, with a spirit of her'own, was cow- ed by Uncle Black's savage eyes in ess than a week. \I'd sooner swoop crossings for a iving,\ said she, \than bo Undo Black's heiress.\ And so she came home without loss )f time. Rhoda Darkridge, in no wise abash- ed by the successive failures of hor sisters, was the third one to try Black Grange and its possibilities. But ho also succumbed before the terri- ble scourge of Uncle Black's savage ongue. \It's scold, snarl, snarl, scold from morning till night!\ said Ilhoda, as in hroe days' time she tearfully related her experience to her parents. \Oh hang tho old scamp!\ said Mr. Darkridge, who was of a free-and- asy nature, and thought his girls a jreat deal too sweet and nice to be narled at by any rich old miser. 'Let him alono. My daughters leedn't go begging for auy man's mon- -\ But here Joscelind, the youngest, .allest and prettiest of the four girls, poke up: \I'll go!\ said she. \ I can get along with him, I'm very ure.\ And she packed up her littlo trunk *ud went to Black Grange. It was sunset a red, flaming sunset ike one of Gifford's pictures—when ihe camo up the terraced flight of tops that led to the house. Every- ;hing blushed blood-rod in tho deep ight, and Joscelind could see how ovely was the scenery, how substan- tial this old gray house, with its quare towers and semi-circular colon- naded porch. Undo Black stood on he steps. \So you are Josceiiud?\ said he, surveying her with littlo twinkling yes, like glass beads. \ Yes, 1 am #oscelind,\ said the bright-cheeked girl, giving him a kiss. \You'ro lato,\ said Uncle Black. \I am late,\ said Joscelind. \I hought the old beast of a stage never would have got hero. There horses airly crept and the roads were hor- rid.\ \ It's a dreadful warm day,\ growl- ed Uncle Black. \ I'm almost roasted,\sighed Josce- ind. \Tho whole summer has been in- tolerably warm,\ said the old gentle- man. \ We might as well be in the tropics and be done with it,\ retorted Josce- iud, flinging off hor shawl and fan- ning herself vehemently. Undo Black gave her tho keys that night, just as he had three times be- fore given them to her three sisters. \ I shall expect you to take charge of tho whole establishment, said he. The servants are miserable \ \No more than ono might expect,\ interrupted Jo.scelind, with a depreca- tory motion of the hand. \Servants aro frauds nowadays.\ \And nothing goes right about tho place.\ Uncle Black eyed her queerly. This was quite different from the determin- ed cheerfulness and systematic good spirits of her sisters. At breakfast next morning Uncle Black began to scold, as usual. \Fish again!\ said he. \This makes four mornings this week we've had fish.\ \I detest fish!\ said Josceiiud, pushiug away her plato with a grim- ace. \And the rolls are heavy again!\ growled Undo Black, breaking open one. \Please give me the plate, Uncle Black,\ said Joscelind, as she rang the table bell sharply. Betty, the cook, a stout, good-natur- ed Irish woman, made her appear- ance. \Betty said Miqs Uarkridge, \be (jo good HU to throw these rolls out of tho window.\ Betty stared. \Do you hear what I tell you?' said Miss Darkridge, with emphasis And Betty fl,u.n.g the rolls out amonff the rosebushes, where they were speedily devoured by Cato, tho Now fonndland dog, and Rob and Roy, the two setters. \ But what am I to oat for break fast?\ bewailed Uncle Black. \ Crackers, of course,\ said Josce lind. \Anything is better than iin periling one's digestion with such stuff as this! And, Betty, if you send up any more fish in a month, you may consider yourself discharged—do you hear?\ ' \ But, my dear, I am rather fond o. fish,' 1 put in the old gentleman. \ Ono.can't eat fish thewhole time,' said Joscelind, imperiously. \Here Betty, this coffee isn't fit to drink! and the toast is burned 1 and you mns have pat the cooking butter on the, ta ble by mistake. Let tsetse, errors be rectified a,t onc,e.'.' Be.tty retired with an ominous rustle of her stiffly starched apron. \My dear,*' e»id Uncle Black, ap prehenaivelyV \Betty is a very old aervant, and\-: — ,. \I don't caro if sho is the age of Methuselah,\ said Joscelind; '' nobody can be expected to put up with such wretched cooking as this!\ \ 1 really think she is not so bad, if\ Uncle Black began to look frighten- ed. He had kept Betty, Sylvia and old John for ton years. Was it possi- ble that he had scolded at thorn for ton years only to have Joscelind Dark- ridgo outscold him now? \I wouldn't be too short with 'em, my dear, if I wore you,\ ho remon- strated. \Then let them do their duty,\ said Joscolind, with the air of an em- press. Uncle Black ate the rest of his break- fast with but little appetite. Sylvia, the housemaid, was finishing dusting his library when he entered it. \ Not through yet!\ growled Uncle Black, the fretwork of wrinkles once more coming into his brow. \Sylvia said Miss Darkridge, se- verely, \ if this happens again I shall dispense with your services! Look at that clock! Is this the time of the day to be dawdling about tho rooms with a broom and duster? Remember Mr. Black does not pay exorbitant wages to lie in bod until noon'\ \My dear,\ said Uncle Black, 'Sylvia is generally a vory good girl, f\ \Dear uncle,\ interrupted Josce ind, \ pray permit me to be the judge of these matters. You have ruled your household with a slack and in- dulgent hand altogether too long. I shall now institute a reform.\ ' And poor Sylvia had never moved about so briskly as B1IO did that day. Old John, the gardener, was not ex- empt from his shure of tho general urinoil. Miss Darkridgo chanced to hear her nncle reproaching the old man for some fancied neglect in the flower beds, whose diamonds, ovals and crescents of brilliant colors wore ho pride of his horticultural heart, and she promptly came to his aid. 'Gardening, indeed 1 Do you call this gardening?\ she said. \Undo Black, I'm uatonishod that you keep such a man as that about the place!\ And the torrents of tuunts and re- proaches which sho showered upon the uckless head of poor John was enough, as the individual observed, \to make no's flesh creep.\ \ My niece is a young lady of spirit nd energy,\ apologized Mr. Black, when at last Joscelind had gone back o the house. \ Verra like you, sir, verra like yon!\ said old John, scratching his head. \ Like me!\ said Mr. Black, slowly. And he stood full five minutes, quite speechless and motionless, staring at the mossy rim of an ancient sun dial half sunk in the velvet grass. And at the 'end of five minutes he spoke two other words, and only two \ Like —me!\ \There's no knowin' the masther, he's that changed,\ said Botty, in the kitchen, a week or two later. \He's as mild as a Iamb and as peaceable as akitton.\ \Sure isn't that what the young ady told us,\ said Sylvia, \when she jamo down into the kitchen that first morning after the fire was lighted, and told us she was goin' to try an experi- ment, wo wasn't to mind a word she said, cause it was all by contraries? He don]t know—what his temper has got to bo,\ she said, 'and I'm going to show him.' And, bless hor sweet heart, her plan has worked like a harm.\ It had in good truth. Undo Black was a changed man. And Joscelind had relapsed into the original sun- shine of her temper—and all the do- mestic wheels of Black Grange soomed to revolve on velvet. But Uncle Black took all the credit to himself. He never knew that Josoe- lind had taught him a lesson. \We can get along very nicely,\ said he, \ now that my nioce has sub- dued those little tempers of hersr\ And Joscelind was his heiress and darling after all for he will always believe it was he \who formed her character. \—Cambridge Tribune. •..ma* Jc-fferaon Writing th« l>.i«lara- _^0 tl»n Thomas Jefferson, to whom this mo- mentous work had been intrusted, camo a young man to Congress, preceded by a decided reputation as a man of ability and a vigorous and fe- lioitoua writer. His engaging manners and obviously great talents secured to him almost immediately tho regard and affection of his fellow members. He was at once placed on a committee to (baft the declaration of the reasons for taking up arms, and then on ono to reply to the propositions of Lord North. So well did he do his part, and so much did he impress his associates that when the resolution for indepen- dence was referred, he was chosen to sta,nd at the head of the committee and to him was entrusted the work of drafting the Declaration. No happier choice could have been mado. It was in its way as wise and fortunate as the selection of Wqshington, to load the armies, This was not because Jeffer- son was the ablest man in Congress. In intellectual power and brilliancy Franklin surpassed him, and John Adams, who like Franklin, was on the committee, was a stronger character, a better lawyer, and a much more learned man. But for this particular work, so momentous to America, Jef- ferson was better adapted than any other of the able men who separated America from England. He, was, above all things,the ch,ild of his. home. He had the eager, open mind, the ro- hust optimism, the desire for change so characteristic of those memorable years with which the eighteenth cen- tury closed. Instead of fearing in- novation, he welcomed it as a good in itself, and novelty alwava appealed to him, whether ^t appeared in th£ form of a plough or\ a governme.nt. ' He was in fu,U ariby utter sympathy with his time, and with the great forces then beginning to stir into life. Others might act from cohyict^ons on, the quest^n o| taxation j others still be- ca.u&e they felt that separation from England was the only way to save lib- erty; but to Jefferson independence had come to mean the right of people to rule. Parkas' Grave Now Fall. Pa., March 18.—After having been reported dead several times William F. Parkes, of Rappa- hannock, a suburb of this town, has really passed away. He died on Mon- day from the effects of a complication of diseases, the result of lying uncon- scioxis one night last July on a grave in which both his legs and one arm were already bnried in a coffin. His funeral occurred yesterday. Parkos was born in a suburb of De- troit, Mich., and at the age of 30 years married Bessie Woodruff, who lived only a year. Shortly after this he had a leg broken by being thrown from s colt he was trying to break. Blood poison ensued, and three am- putations were performed, until noth- ing remained of the limb. Recover- ing from the effects of the surgical operation, Parkes married his dead wife's sister, who nursed him during his illuess, and a short timo afterward tho couple left for Saratoga, N. Y. The train ou which thej' rodo was wrecked. Parkes was pulled nn- onacious from the debris, clasping the dead and manglod body of his wife. Parkes was seriously injured, his remaining leg being so badly crushed that it had to be amputated. The grave containing his leg was openod and by its side was placed the other leg. After spending a year at the home of his father, Parkes re- covered sufficiently to operate a wheel '.hair. He became a frequent visitor to the farm adjoining that of his fath- er. Boarding with the family was Miss Besaio White, an invalid and having but one arm, having lost the other from the effects of a fall dow n stairs. Parkos and tho woman met, loved,'and in thr^e months they were married. Their affection was intensified by tho sympathy that eadi had for the other, and for two years they lived at New York and Detroit. Then the shadow >f death crossed Parkes 1 life for the third time. His last wife bore him his first child, and her will bequeathed him $2o,000 with which to relieve his wants for the remainder of his life. Thrice widowed, Parkes returned again to his father's homo and engaged nurse, Mrs. Maria Lawlor, to care for his baby girl. Mrs. Lawlor was young and comely, and for tho fourth time Parkes fell in love. After six mouths tho wooing ended in acceptance and the legless man's home was brightened the fourth time by a wife. Parkes bought and fitted up a little cottage near the old homestead, and there he lived until misfortune again overtook him. While watching at the bedside of his father, who was very ill, a servant at his own cottage upset a kerosene lamp in the bedroom. Tho fourth Mrs. Parkes and her hild, who were asleep at the time, perished in the fire. The shock killed tho oldest Parkes, and the funerals of parent, wife and child took place the same day. Parkes was lifted into a carriage af- ter the ceremony at the three graves, and while the graves were being filled ho mot with an accident in which he ost an arm. The horses took fright at a locomotive, and dashing down the road camo in collision with a tree, in- stantly killing the driver and throw- ing Mr. Parkes from the carriage. When picked up ho was unconscious, and it was found that his arm was crushed and brokeu in two places. It was amputated and buried with the parts of Parkes that had gone to the grave before. His next affliction was tho death of his mother, who beque- athed him $30,000 in cash and real estate valued at 810,000. Pnrkes had only part of himself to live for,and begun weekly visits to the grave of his legs and arm. On the second visit he was run down by a runaway team and soriously injured. Part of his shoulder had to be cut away to save the arm. This part was placed in the coffin with his two legs and arm. Parkes coutiucd as a woekly visitor to the grave, which he kept .strewn with flowers until that July day last year ho fell unconscious on the mound. Parkes left a will iu which he be- queathed $50,000 to a hospital for in- jured coal miners and directed that the remainder of his estate, $20,000, bo oxpendod in a monument to mark his last resting place.—A. r }'. A St Fatrlck'n I>av F»bl«. Once upon a Time a very Truthful Man and a Prudent Chap were walk- ing along the Street, and as they walk- ed they fell to discussing Truth. Said the very Truthful Man: \ The Truth should be Told at all Times.\ \I differ with you,\ said the Pru- dent. \When an Issue is Raised tho Truth should bo Told, of course, bnt there are Times when an Issue should not be Raised.\ Said the very Truthful Man: '' You are Wrong. I am Surprised that a Man of your apparent Intelligence should make such a Statement.\ It being the Seventeenth of March, the very Truthful Man a.nd the Pru- dent Chap soon met a number of Pat- riotic Irishmen who were parading in honor of Saint Patrick. Stepping into the Street, the very Truthful Man stopped the Leader of the Parade -a Man with a largo Green Sash. \ Sir,\ said the very Truthful Man, \why do you, an Irishman, parade in honor of Saint Patrick? Saint Pat- rick, sir, was a Scotchman.\ Thereupon the Man with, the large Green Sash smote the very Truthful Man between the Eyes with his Fist, knocked him Down and discolored both his Optics. In short, the Man with the Green Sash did not do a thing to him. MOBAI,: If you Must tell the Truth about Saint Patrick on. th© Seventeenth of March Ue, Sure and tell a Scotch- man i— Harper'* Bazar.

It is a medicine for the whole body. It forces out all the germs of disease, replaces impurities with rich, red blood, feeds the tissues and makes strong, healthy flesh. Congreaa and Cuba. Whether the president and Speaker Reed do or do not wish congress to adjourn at an early date, as bearing on tho settlement of any question that may result from the report of the Sampson board of inquiry, or from the unfortunate transmission to congress of the consular correspondence, the country will be bettor off and its in- terests better looked after if congress is not iu seaaiou. And this is not ne- cessarily a reflection on congress. If there is a question between the two countiies, it is one that requires di- plomatic and delicate treatment, and no one expects or even desires the re- ticenco and self-restraint from the legislative branch of I the government that ought to, and must, characterize the action of the executive in dealing with a foreign power. Even tho most excited will probably admit that if we have any difference of opinion v ith Spain, and if we have anything to gain from its settlement, it will be better to effect the settlement and to gain our object by peaceful methods, and it is certain that peaceful efforts will be greatly endangered if comgress remain in session whil,o tkcyare in progress. It will be impoRflible, in such an event, to restrain the flood of oratory which is ready to brifak forth on the Cuban question at a»y moment, and though the majority may hope for quiet, the noisy minority .will probably have their way. Their oratory will naturally excito and anger tho people with whom the president will be ..negotiating, so that if congress is not out of tho way at the perilous moment, if the peril- ous moment is to come, tho chances for v*ar will bo enormously increased.

Tho first way is from im- perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. Chief Cause. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder trouble. So the womb, like the blad- der, was created for one -purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rarq cases. It is situated back of and vpry close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani- fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis- take attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The er- ror is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid- ney, and bladder remedy is soon real- ized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

TtiH tho utilization of waste products which makes many an industry pros- perous in the'ie days of sharp eouipoti- tion. Two chemists in a Chicago brewery have discovered and patented a process for utilizing a product of breweries which has hitherto run to waste, and which they claim possesses peculiar nourishing powers. They say that the product, which they call yeast food, is fully as valuable as boef extract, and is much better for UHC, aud uono of the dangerous ele- ments which might exist in the ani mal can be found in their product. The yeast fungus used to exoite fer- mentation during the process of brew- ing thrives upon the liquid malt of the brew. It is said to feed exactly upon the same substances as does tho ani- mal system. It absorbs for its sus- tenance phosphates, salts, and al- bjituinoids. The inventors subject the yeast cell to such chemical treat- ment as will evolve these constituents in a semi-crystalline form, not unlike beef extract itself. The idea is to utilize another material to produce the same product as beef extract, with tho idea of making it cheaper and bet- ter, better becauso some of the del- eterious waste substanoes suoh as re- main in the beef at the time that it is killod, including uric acid and snb- stanoes equally as harmful, are not present in the product at any stage of its evolution. The valuable ingredi- ents of the yeast plant are present in the beef extract of commerce. The signifioanoo and importance and value of the invention consists in utilizing a hitherto wast« product and turning it into a highly nourishing article of commerce. BATES Slscbet 41nche«....

Absolutely Puro ItOVAL SAKIMO POWOtB CO , I he Air Without Going OMt Elderly people and others who be temporarily house-bound and pre- vented from enjoying a regular stroll outdoors can devise a fair substitute aa follows*: Bundle up as if for the usual constitutional, select a large sunny room, preferably at the top of the house, open wide the windows, shut off the heat and move around briskly going to the window and in- haling thft fresh air deeply through the nostrils. We have often called at- tention to the fact that house air, with its many impurities, overheated con- dition aud general lifelessuesa, is one of the principal predisposing causes to colds-aud catarrhal affections says the Health Magazine. Where a patient or invalid is confined to bed, if the shoul- ders are kept well covered and the head lightly protected, the windows may be opened and then flushed with fresh air without any special risk, prc- vided the current does not strike ,-. them too directly. The danger from 7 poorer ventilation is decidely greater. Deep inhalations of air at the open window, taken gently through tho nose, impart an enlivening and tonic influence to the whole nervous syh- y tern, which can soon be demonstrated by a personal experiment. Danger In T.n Cans. Open a can of peaches, apricots, cherries, or other fruit—for all fruit is acidulous let it utand for sonao time, and the fruit acids and the tin are ready to do their work of poison- ing. A chemical knowledge that tells just how the dangerous compound is created is unnecessary to an avoidance of the peril.- The rule to follow is never to make lemomade or other acidulated drinks in a tin bucket, nor allow them to stand in a vessel of tin; and in tho case of canned fruits or fish, immediately upon opening the can, turn tho contents out upon an earthen- ware plate, or glass. Fruits in hermetically sealed cans, > if properly prepared, generate no !, poison. As soon as opened the action i of the acid in the tin, with the aid of ' the atmosphere begins, and in a short time the result is deadly poison. This brief treatment of the question should be remembered by every one, and its instructions followed. The general press should also aid in disseminating this simple knowledge.— Popular Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are, tiny, sugar coated granules. They give to nature just the littlo help she needs. They are as gentle as they are efficient, and will perfectly cuce the worst cases of constipation.

Instead of washing the legs of the horse when coming in from a drive or from work in wet and stormy weather, rub them with sawdust; this quickly absorbs the moisture, and will dry tho limbs quicker than a rubbing with straw or cloths, and prevents both colds and scratches. Place the foot in a box of the sawdust and tho work will bo done-easily and without wast- ing. DON'T NEGLECT A HEAI> Cono.—Ca- tarrh will result if you do.
