Both Htared with undisguised interest at a splendid looking giant of a man, fine of—feature ander a coat of bronze, broad shoul- dered, with every one of his six feet and three iuches of height proclaim- ing the Roldier. By his side walked two boys of thirteen or fourteen. \No. Who is it?\ asked the sec- ond Etouiau. \Jle's almost as tall as •Ozzy.' \ \It'B Col. Hope, I'm sure of it. Know him from the photographs,\ whispered the first. \Suppose he's coming to .show those chaps his old hunting-ground. They can't bo his sons, for he isn't married, BO far as I ever heard. Jove! he's a fine fellow! Only think, he got the V. C. when he was a major of thirty. Know all about him, I should say I did, aud so ought you. Ever since I was ^o high he's been one of my heroes. 1 road the other day he was back in England. Wonder how it seems, after fifteen years of good hard fighting in India and Afghanistan and Chitral, among all those black Johnnies?\ The two Etonian youth looked very much as though they would have liked to go up and shako hands with the famous soldier, but instead, they pass- ed wistfully on, unnoticed by their hero It was a June day, of green and bine ami gold, with a scent of new mown hay and sweetbriar in tho air. Col. Hope walked thoughtfully with his two nophews in the famous Playing Fields of Eton. The boys were about to enter the old school he loved, and as ho trod the fa- miliar paths a hundred memories of his early youth came crowding into his mind. Ho was only JjN, hut aeons of life seemed to stretch between him and those dead days. Here were the leafy shades of Poet's Walk, where, as a Sixth Form boy, he had been privileged to take tea while the youngsters were in school; a little further on was the ancient red-brick wall, mellow with time, which had witnessed the struggles of generations in that barbarous game of football played nowhere save at Eton. How the faces of boys came back in- to his recollection like forgotten dreams. With a half smile he mechan- ically rubbed an ear (which, had once l>een injured in a football scrimmage), as he explained to his awed young lis- teners the science of forcing the ball along the wall, with terrific scrub- bings of body and face against the rough surface of the brick; and on an ancient elm be pointed out the chalk marking indicating a goal—\ oalx,\ in the slaug of Eton. From the (-.Ticket ground the three strolled over toward tbe river, where tbe foaming stream boiled swiftly down from tbe weir above. A strange dog came barking and fawning to- the two aboys, invited them to throw a stick into the water for him, and Col. Hope paced in abstraction up and down beneath the immemorial elms. Never once since he left Eton to Study for tbe urmy bad he revisited the old school; and now, out of the surging ciow ft of memories two faces shope clear and bright—Henry Rae- burn's and Ethel Stuart's. Raebum had been tbe friend, the idol, of his early youth, five years older than be, and a big boy at Eton when he was a little one. Hope had fagged for Raeburn, who had received the humble adoration of tbe younger lad with an air of amused patronage, Avhich had, however, speed- ily turned into affection. So it was that a warm aud genuine friendship sprang into being, and the two boys were constantly together. It was Rao- burn who first taught Hope to handle an oar, it was Hope who saved Rae- burn's lifo when they wero upset from aT>unt in tbe swollen river, and Raeburn was entangled in the ropy weeds. . When Raoburn left Eton, Hope be- old dear, that I should ever oare for a little boy like that?\ she was saying. Then they both laughed out happily. And Hope, sick at heart, tingling with hurt pride, could not forgive the laugh either to Ethel Stuart or Harry Rae- biirn, the friend he had so lovod^ The laugh had been^ruel, he though—de- testable in both. He strode away vowing he would never see either of them again, and he bad kept his vow. In India he had heard of Raeburn'H marriage with Ethel Stuart. Later he had chanced upon the news of the birth of a dangbtor, again of a sou; and after some years of the moth- er's death. But Hope had never ans- wered the4etter that followed him on that mad day of his departure, aud no other had ever been sent. Raeburn had become a distinguished jndge and was happy enough, no .doubt, in bis success and his children. AR for Wil- frid, Ethel Stnart had been his last, and she had been bis first love; and for years now ho had regarded himself as a confirmed bachelor. II. sigh and a start Col. Hope woke suddenly from his reverie. The laughing voices of his nephews came to him from the river bank, aud, stroll- mg down, be called to them. \ Come on, boys,\ bo said. '* There is still much for you to see.\ And he led the way toward tbe school building. came a cons taut visitor at his father's^ house; and when it was Hope's turn to leave school and begin his studies for the army there canio no change into their old friendship until Tho Woman appeared upon tbe scene. How well Hope remembered now the first day be bad seen Ethel Stnart— one Fourth of July at Eton! Only-a young girl, scateoly older than be, but already a radiant and bewitobing beau- ty, with all tho piquant charm of a ma- tured coquette. She was a distant cousin of Raeburn and so it was that, when be bad said farewell to Eton, she did not go out of his lifo. She was his boyish idea of loveli- ness, and, though in tne beginning ho had not davod dream that she might be anything to him save a distant star to worship, her manner afterwards led him to hope. How the look in her eyes came back to him to-day-^the soft pressure of her band for good-bye — the thousand andoneswcetnothingB that had made a fool of him! He knew that Kaeburn's parents and hers wished for a match between the two young people, but he knew, too (or fancied be knew), that no engage- ment existed, He had had no reason to believe that careless, sport-loving Raeburn thought of Ethel Stnart save as a cousin; and Ethel did her best, without words, bnt with smiles and long-lashed, starry glances, to beguile the boy into dreaming she thought sometimes of him. One day, at a gardoji party at Ra,e- burn's, jusfbefor© Hope waa to join hia regiment, he lost his head, and told Ethel that he loved her. She aroh- ed her eyebrows and was surprised. Oh, no; she had never guessed that h# had cared for hor in that way. Ho mnst forget. Then she held ont her hand, and he took it dazedly and rush- ed away with his head down, hardly oonsoious of what he was doing. He had been too proud to leave at once; and a little later, as he wander- ed miserably alone in a thick shrub- bery, he.oame upon Raoburn and Eth- ol, bis arm aronnd her slim waist, her fair, curly head nestling against his shoulder. • \ How could you suppose, you silly With some little difficulty he discov- ered the house where he had lived in his Eton days, and ascended the steep spiral stairs of stone to find his old rooms. But all was changed within, for the place had been remodeled, and it brought a certain relief to get away to the famous Eton chapel, matched only iu grace by that of King's Col- lege, at Cambridge. On they went through the schools, the soldier pointing out the names of tho famous mon carved on tho walls, and the rostrums from which the boys made their public orations. Thus it was that they came at last to the celebrated little classroom where the headmaster presides over the Sixth Form, and where the walls of paneled oak were completely covered with the names of past pupils—once cnt by the boys themselves, now done by the headmaster's servant, who immortal- izes the youth of Eton in oak for u moderate ioc. \Where's yonr name, Uncle Wil- frid?\ asked the elder nephew. But it hardly needed that question to set the soldier half wistfully searching for tho well remembered name among the hundreds that had gone before or come after. It was a Saturday afternoon and sev- eral parties of visitors, including some smartly dressed girls, were being shown round the schools. Brighteyes rested admiringly on the face and fig- ure of the big handsome officer, but they did not penetrate the .armor of his self-absorption. Up and down his gazo wont, over the panels meeting many a name of school contemporary since grown famous in tho world of thought or action. / At length he reached his own year; but a largo heavy frame, containing a map in relief of ancient Italy, hung on the spot, concealing everything be- neath it. Reaching out a pair of strong hands, Hope lifted down tbe weighty obstruction, and, as ho did HO, his own name seemed to start out to meet his eyes. Suddenly a girlish voice sounded its music over his shoulder, thrilling him as he had not thought to be thrilled by a woman's voice again. A delicate, in- definable perfume, like that of flowers in the dew of evening, floated on the air, and be was conscious of a crisp, silken rustle of feuiiniuo draperies. A shadow hand from the past seem- ed laid with a inighty hold upon him, aud bo stood still and rigid, waiting for the voice to speak again. \Oh father, do look at this!\ it eaine, once more, in the unforgotteu, softly-modulated accents, young and sweet, as those that had made a boy turn and gaze at Ethel Stuart, one summer day, long years ago. \ Here's the name of yonr wonderful Col. Hope. Isn't it interesting, now that he's grown so famous? You'll dearly like to look at it, I know, I would give al- most anything to see him.\ A man's step answered the words, aud Wilfrid Hope felt a strange trem- bling shake him from head to foot, such as he had never knownJn battle. It was like a spell cast upon him from the past. Tf he could, he would have got out of the room, rather than turn only to break the charm, perhaps, and to face the ordeal of a meeting. The blood beat in his ears, as though he had been 18 instead of 38; but—it had come. Moving\ almost mechanically ho wheeled round, as though in obedie'icM to some unseen and supreme com- mand. Iu spite of-himself—in spite of the stern habit of self-control which the years had, life thought, made sec- ond nature —a slight exclamation broke from him. Before him stood a tall lily of a girl, the living, breathing image of the Ethel Stuart who had cost him his best friend and all the light-heartedness of his boyhood. It was Ethel, but Ethel with a different soul, looking out thro\ the cloar wells of the beautiful young eyes! Firo leaped to his, a.nd she flushed and paled again under the flame of it. Well did aho know his faoe! for she had cherished an ideal, and even hor father had never seon a certain por- trait she had ont from a magazine and looked at sometimes in the secreoy of a white girl's room. An exclamation echoed the soldier's in the voice of a man, only deeper than Henry Reaburn the boy's had been. \Wilfrid!\ he said unsteadily. \ Dear old chap, don't you know ine?\ His hand went out, half hesitating- ly; as if in doubt of its reception; but there was no hesitation in the grasp that sprang to meet it. Like a man in a dream, who fears the dream may fade, Hope clasped the hand of Sir Henry Beaburn. At the touch of the warm, eager fingers all the old bitterness fell away, like a dis- carded mantle. The eyos of the two men met aud dwelt, and there was a stinging on the lips of each. A rush- ing tide of memory flowed back, of joyous schoolboy days, hopes and fears shared in common, a thousand intima T ciee and helpfulnesses—the very day when Wilfrid's name had been carved, with Henry looking on. After his first words neither spoke for a moment. Time bad done its healing work, and it needed but such a chance for the love that bad slept, though never died, to awake. \ To soo hermakesmeyoungagaiu,\ Hope answered, still in^he dream. \Oh but you're not^ld!\ cried the girl, then blushed at her own words. She looked up shyly, and something in her face brought a shock that was half-surprise, half-ploasure to her father. \Jf there should be a way of atone- ment!\ he thought. In tho heart of the soldier there was a tnmnlt. \ Can I be such a fool?\ he rebuked himself. \Is all the old misery to be lived through again^ But the girl asked no question iuher mind. She only knew that her hero had come, and tbut who must accept nor fate. \Perhaps he will hate me,\ sho thought, for once in u moment of con- fidence, she had heard something of tho old story from her father. \Pei- A Trlumphaut Navy haps he will go away.\ But he did not go. All the rest of that day they spent together. And this year \Aunt Ethel \ nent a box to Eton for two adoring nephews, with a note reminding them to look some- times at a certain loved and famous name upon the wall.— Boston Travel- ler. _ _ PALLOR MKANSTHIN BLOOD Miss Cordelia Moore, daughter of a prosperous grocer of Malone, N. Y., until recently, has been a life-long in- valid from palpitation of the heart and Aveakness of the blood. She was re- stored to health in a most remarkable way; in fact, it seems almost miracu- lous. Physicians vtaxo puzzled over her case, their most skilled efforts were baffled. Various romodios were tried, but without avail. The proverbial \change of climate\ was advised. Acting upon this advice Miss Moore traveled aa extensively as she could in her enfeebled condition, but this did not benefit her, in fact, the con- stant changes wore upon her until, to quote her mother's words, \ sho be- came a living ghost.\ Her numerous friends became alarm- ed at her failing health and feared she was \going into consumption.\ Her system became such that the needed medicine could not be taken. Sho despaired of lifo. In speaking of this experience she said: I was born in Malono and have re- sided here for twenty-six years, but have been away a great deal traveling for my health. 1 have always been ailing from my childhood. My par- ents hoped that as I became older I would grow stronger, but such was not the case for I was getting worse. \About three years ago I began tak- ing all sorts of medicines. At that time I was in a terrible condition. I could not eat although I was hungry. My face was ghastly white, and my hands were almost transparent. There seemed to bo no blood in me. I had that 'gone' feeling so often described. I took no interest in anything and could not enjoy life at. all. It was ut- terly impossible for me to go up stairs for I was so weak. \ Two years ago last summer I wont on a trip to St. Anne do Beanpre. While on the boat crossing the river I met a fiiend from Chicago who became much concerned about me. She spoke of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill for Pale People, saying 'they had done won- r ders for her sister,' and advised me to try them. I had lost all faith in such medicines, but told her I would try them to please her. When T reached home I bought a box ami began taking the pills and be- fore they were ull used I noticed a reatu;hange. 1 began to regain my appetite aud felt better generally. My mother noticed the color of my hands hi eh were red with tbe returning blood. A physiciau whom I bad pre- viously employed had said 'that if I lived three mouths he should think it remarkable,' but now I felt like laugh- ing at his fears. After finishing the first box I bought six more and took them. The effect was wonderful. I grew strong rapidly ami gained in flesh. I became^ better in every way. \ I never felt better iu my lifo than I do now, I weigh more than ever be- fore and I consider my.self cured. I an not say too rnucb regarding Dr. Williuuia' Pink Pills for P.ale People. They are a wonderful leuiody and I hove recommended them to several of my friends, many of whom have been reatly benefited. \I am perfectly willing to answer letters regarding my experience pro- vided stamp for the reply is enclosed.\ No discovery of modern times has proved such a boon to women as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on tho blood and nerves, invigorating tho body, regu- lating the functions, they restore the strength and health to the exhausted woman when every effort of the physi- ian proves unavailing. These pills are recognized every- where as a specific for diseases of the blood and nervos. For paralysis, lo- omotor ataxia, and other diseaoos long supposed iocurable, they have proven their efficacy IIL thousands of cases. iTruly they are one of the great- est blessings ever bestowed upon man- kind. HEAP RELIEF IN 10 MINUTKS.—Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder gives al- most instant relief and permanently ures Catarrh, Hay Fever, Colds, Headache, Sore Throat, Tonsilitis and Catarrhal Deafness. One short puff of the powder clears anil cleanses the nasal passages. It is painless and delightful to use.—50. Sold by C. W. Breed and James Houston, Druggists. Now that war clouds are lowering, and there is much talk of tho inferior- ity of our navy, a little consolation is derived from the thought that in all wars with foreign powers our navy has proved a triumphant navy no mat- ter how weak it was at tho outset. This fact rather confirms the words of Captain Mahau, who recently said: \ It is not ships, it is not guns, aud it is not armor-plate primarily Jhat win in a fight, but mon.\ And Amer- rican men seem to have no superiors in physique, power of endurance, marksmanship and moral courage. At the beginning of the war of^the Revolution, there was no American navy. However, tho continental pri- vateers mamiged to capture about eight hundred- English vessels and twelve thousand prisoners, five hun- dred of them soldiers, in some*of the best naval engagements. In a two years' naval war with Franco the fight- ing was all done by^tho navy, which captured eighty of the enemy's vessels and about three thousaud men. The wars of Barbary pirates wore also brought to a Hatisfaotory end by the unaided efforts of the navy of the United Statcn securing privileges not granted to European powers Jft was in tho war of 1812, however, that our navy won its greatest victory by whip- ping tho British-after it had defeated the combined floa forces of the world. Over fifteen huiulroil British ships were taken and OVCT twenty thousand British Reameu were mado prisoners. Finally in the Mexican war, though there was not much chance for naval co-operation with tho land forces, when the chance did come at Vera Cruz, tho navy took it. It is not necessary to detail all tbe victories of the American navy to prove its efficiency. The more im- portant are sufficient aud such names as Paul Jones, Oliver Hazard Perry, Lawronco and others who won victor- ies ought to bo enough to inspire their successors to their bravest deeds. The first engagement of tbe Revo- lution was off Machias, Me., where tho British armed schooner, Margar- etta, was whipped and captured. Af- ter that followed a list, of minor en- gagements in -which Esek Hopkins, first coininauder-in-chief of the navy, took a number of English ships. Tho edge of these victories was dulled a little, however, by tbe defeat of tbe American fleet on Luke Chauiplain under Benedict Arnold. Then came tbe first appearanco of Captain John Paul Jones who, in the old Providence, picked up fifteen British prizes late in '7«>. In April, '78, he made that daring attack on White- bavon, and in Septemper, '79, defeated the English ship Sorapie in the (Jer- uiuu ocean with the Bonohmme Rich- ard, named after \ Poor Richard\ or Benjamin Franklin, which sank the next day. The two important battles in the naval war with France were fought by tbe good old frigate Constellation under Commodore Truxtou. Tho first of these was off St. Kitts, an is- land in the West Tndian group, where after an hour's fighting, Truxton com- pelled the French frigate, L 'Insur- gent©, to strike her colors. Iu Feb- ruary, 17i)J, ( that was. A year later tho same vessel and the wauio com- mander administero«I a drubbing to tho French La Vengeance, but allowed her to escape in a squall. In the war with the iTHrlmry states tho capture of tbe American ship Phil- adelphiu and its subsequent destruc- tion by Decatur and tbe bombard of Tripoli by Commodore Preble, wore tho important engagements. The fir«t was a serious loss, but tbe bombard- ment was sufficient to secure Ameri- can shipping against tbe rui'ln of the Barbary pirates. The war of 1812 was productive of a number of glorious American victor- ies. The first of these, after numer- ous preliminary skirmishes, caino on August vis), when tbe frigate Consti- tution, now the Newport school ship, under Isaac Hull, captured tho Brit- ish frigate Oucrncre. In tho next month Lieutenant Elliott vapturodthe brigs Detroit and Caledonia from un- der the guns of Fort Erie, the latter afterward .serving in Perry's fleet. It was only a few days later that the frigate United States captured tho British Macedonia off Maderia, the British loss being one hundred anil four and tbe American eleven. A couple of months later the Constitu- tion captured tbe British ahip Java off Brazil, ami iu February of 1H1M the^ American ship Hornet stung ami cap- tnred tbe British Peacock. After that came a defeat,—the defeat of Lawrence in the Chesapeake, by the British friguto Shannon. [t was the \ D«n't givtt-np-the-ship' 1 LuwYenco, and in tins engagement he was mortal- ly wounded. For inflicting tbe de- feat the freedom of London was voted to Captain Broke, the English com- mander, and a fine sword was voted to him. Tbe defeat was not long una- venged, however, for a couple of months after Captain William Henry Allen in tho sloop Argus captured tlrl British sloop Pelican in the English channel, and a month later tho Ameri- can Enterprise took the Boxer. Then came Perry's victory, tbe \ Wo have met the enemy and they are ours\ victory over the English fleet in Lake Erie. Six vessels were the prize in this engagement, a ouil loss to Eng- land, and encouraging lift to the United States. Aud then the sloop Peacock, which tho Americans had taken from the British, was used to capture another British ship, tho brig Eporvier, on tbe coast of Wales. Tbe prize was sold for $55,000 and $H8yO00 in specie was found on board. This was the first good victory in 18M. It was soon followed by another, when the American Wasp captured tbe Rein- door. Later she took the British At- lanta, but soon after disappeared, no one knows how, but forever. And next the second battle of Lake Chauiplain, »n American victory this time, when Commodore Thomas Mc- Donough, with fourteen vessels and eighty-six guns, defeated the British fleet of sixteen vessels and ninety-six guns under George Downie. Fifty- two killed and as many wounded was the American loss, tho British twice as much, Tho first naval battle of 1810 brought an American dofcat, tho President un- der Decatnr, being captured by —a British fleet just out of New York harbor. A month later the Constitu- tion captured the British frigate Oyne and the brig Levant, and three days after the^Uornet, under Captain Nich- olas Biddler- captured tho British Pen- guin off tho coast of Brazil. This was the lost nnval battle of tbe war of 1812, and practically the last American naval battle with any foreign foe. That is not by any means a full record of the American naval victories but enough^of them have been given to show the quality of American fight- ing ou the sea. Jf the navy can now do as well there wilj^ be little danger of defeat iu any trouble.— Albunt/ Tirtu H- f'nioii. Napoleon In lVt^r'» Ked. Peter the Great hated Moscow, and, above alt, that stronghold of Oriental intrigue and moral darkness, the Kremlin. If J remember light, ho never inhabited tho palace within its walls after he was a child. Tho old palace in a not work of incredibly small, low, ill-ventilated rooms, some little bigger than closets, Tainted in greens, blues, rooms, which seem, even to-day, to reek oT plots, intrigue and murder. Napoleon, always u tri- fle theatrical, insisted on sleeping in tho bed of Peter thejireat when ho occupied tho Kremlins in 1812. The bed of the boy Peter fitted the hero of Austerlitz to a nicety. It is a very abbreviated couch. In tbe very heart of this Orientul palace, with no win- dow which looks on tho outer day and the open air, in the terem, or women's quarters. The terem was, to all in- tents and purpose, a harem. The la- dies, even tbe Tsaritza and the sisters of tho Tsar, were only permitted to look through a carved wooden lattice, just as ladies do in every harem in the east. They receive no men except their husbands andbrotbers, and when they went out it was in a curtained litter. When Peter mounted the throuo of the Tsars, the women of Russia were Orientals, imprisoned far more rigorously tban the lftdies of Constantinople to-day.— Lou'mville Courier. A Milwaukee man, one Lynda Brad- ley, appears to he the first man to use X-ray in the war hospitals in case of hostilities with Spain. The gre$t ease with which a bullet or splinter could be found in the human body with this strange light commends its useatonce. It would seem that the government officials would approve of its adoption. Aceoiding to Mr. Bradley, it would be a simple matter to provide for the ray on a war vessel, but the introduction of a machine on the field would be at- tended with considerable difficulty. For instance, a small engine, boiler aud dynamo and the machine itself would have to be put on wheels for field service. This outfit, however, would bo much lighter and more easi- ly transported than would be imagin- ed, and the one Mr. Bradley has de- signed could be built in a week. Mr. Bradley has long been an enthusiast in the use of the X-my, and has done some excellent work with it. Iu case of war he proposes to build a machine aud offer his services to the govern- ment. Klemlr Motor* -n, Wnr Ships. If war comes and our costly ships get into active engagement, we think many of the operative parts of the present equipment moved by steam or hydraulic motors will bo found inade- quate to the emergency service of bat- tle. And we predict thereafter a re\o- lutionary change to electric motors for all such doviees. Imagine the tur- ret ot a battleship, becoming useless just when it guns are being trained on another warship within sinking dis- tance, all owing to a leaky pipe-joint, or a sticking \al\e or defective pack- ing, or any one of a hundred possible defects, trivial enough but fraught with terrible consequences in such a case No pipe system, whether stoam or hydraulic, ever was or ever can be as reliable as a well-laid electrical con- ductor, and no hydraulic or steanl mo- tor over was or ever will be as prompt to start, as effective and easy to con- trol, or as reliable Jn every way as a modern electric motor; aud tho sooner our naval coustructors realizo this the better wilT be thoir product. — Klectri- eaf /'eneir.

Dr. Austin Flint, Sr., used to say, \plenty of water, plenty of water out- side and in for health.\ Since his day doctors generally have more and more strongly recommended water drink- ing, till now, a certain, (and large) number of glasses of water per day is one of the most familiar prescriptions from some of the best^ doctors^ at the sanitariums in tho land. High au- thorities now tell us that often the basis of success in the hot-water craze and in drinking mineral water is neither tho beat nor the minerals, but the water; the water is what the sys- tem of the patient was needing. A l>ractitioner and iustructor at Bellevue recommend* overy one to drink a pint of water on getting up in tbe morning and a pint on going to bed, at any temperature they like; this is a hygien- ic suggestion, not a medical one; this very successful practitioner thinks it is the best way of giving the system needed liquid, and declares many ir- regularities disappear under this regi- men. The water, niind, is not, how- ever^to bo gulped down at one or two draughts; a half hour ur inoie wbilo dressing or undressing, should be givon to sipping the two glasses. This same physician recommends a good drink of water when we feel tired or faint, in that state that generally makes ns turn to tea or coffee or wine, the water has an almost equally reviv- ing effect and much better results in the long run. ONE OF TWO WAYS The bladder was created for one pur- pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im- perfect action o£ the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. Chief Carter. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder trouble. So tbe womb, like the blad- der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weaknessx>r disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and verv close to the bladder, therefore any pam, disease or inconvenience mani- fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage it, often, by mis- take attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. Tbe 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 tbe extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid- j ney, and bladder remedy is soon real- ized. If you need a medicine yon should have the beat.

When a horse does not appear to J thrive as lie should on lYTTs food, and I the most careful observation fails to account for his condition, it is wise to have his teeth carefully examined, es- pecially tbe baekjaw teeth or molars. An irregularity of these is often the unexpected sonree of the evil. The molars occasionally wear irregularly; sometimes the upper border over-lap- ping the external surface of the lower, while the internal surface of the lower ri«e'f to a corresponding height within Ti»e mouth. In suchjjases sharp points are found where the wear haa been slightest, aud these roughnesses lace- rate the insido face of the cheeks and cut the sides of the tongue, so that mastication is performed not only with difficulty but with pain. The conse- quence is that the food is not properly prepared for the stomach, and passes through it without assimilating to a full extent its nutritive principles. To brace up the system after \La Grippe,\ pneumonia, fevers, aad other prostrating acute diseases; to build up needed flesh and strength, and to restore health and vigor when you feel \run down\ and used up, the best thing in the world is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It promotes all the bodily functions, rouses every organ into healthy action, purifies and enriches the blood, and through it cleanses, repairs, and iu- vigorates the entire system. For tbe inoat stubborn scrofula, skin or scalp diseases, dyspepsia, biliousness, and kindred ailments, the \ Discovery\ is unequaled as a remedy. The board of public works of the city of Ogdensburg made their an- nual report last week, and among other things strongly recommend that active measures be taken to build a Maca- dam road between that city and Can- ton under the new law. i Francis W I'oolo, Pastor Central Pres. Church, Helena, Mont. \Why He Fell We often wonder that certain men and women are led to the commission of sins which shock us. We wonder how, under the temptation of a single hour, they fall froiu^the heights of honor and virtue into sin and shame. The faetis, that there are no such falls as these, orjiext to none These men and women are tho.se who have dallied with temptation, have exposed them- selves to the influence of it, and have been weakened and corrupted by it. If we could get at the secret history of thoao who stand suddenly discovered vicious, we should find that they had bppn through this most polluting pro- cess, tbut they have been in the habit of going out and meeting temptation in order that they might enjoy its ex- citements, that underneath a blame- less outward life they have welcomed au entertained sin in their imagina- tions until their moral sense was bluuted and they were ready for the deed of which they thought they were incapable.

Thousands of cases, which have been given up as hopeless, have been cured tbraugh this moans. To fruit feedors such things as rehuma- tism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, gravel, etc., are seldom known. Dyspepsia, nervous irritability, to say nothing of numbers of other diseases, can, more^ or less, be traced to a wrong diet, and are removable when a correct, frugi- vorous one is adopted. If therefore a fruit diet has nothing else to recom- mend it, its curative powers would be great enough to insist upon its value. •*' Pn/ES—ITCHINO, BUIND AND INO CURED—in three to six nights.
