kidney complaint. There was a dull
aching ucross the small of my back

The kidney secretions were dark and
full of sediment, and lack of control
impelled me to rise a number of
times during the night. Between this
annoyance and the backache it was
Impossible for me to get much sleep

AN IMPRISONED CAT.
In New York City, Freed by a Cow
boy's Lariat.
After nearly two years imprison
ment between brick walls four stories
~.,;b and only a little more than three
Inches apart, a cat lias been rescued
by means of a lariat. The feline
dropped into the crevice when it was
only a few weeks old and has been
there ever since—fed and cared for by
families residing in the buildings.
The prison which it occupied so
long is botween two buildings in East
Fourth street. The crevice Is closed
front and back, and even closed partly
on the top by tin roofing.
Efforts which the kitten made again
and again during the early days of its
Imprisonment, to climb up these slip
pery walls, only to fall back, were
watched with sympathy by the neigh
bors and they became divided into fac
tions—those who thought that the kit
ten ought to be killed and relieved of
Hs misery, and those who held that
while there was life there was hope.
The latter fed the eat and gave it
water by means of a long string. Dis
contented neighbor* many times threw
1 chunks of poisoned liver, but the
animal never touched it. Meanwhile
the cat grew ami every effort was
made to release it. but without suc
cess.
A few days ago the story became
generally known and came to the no
tice of an ex cowboy who. with an old
lariat, soon dragged the cat from its
prison, thus removing a source of
much worry to the Society for Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals.
BUNCH TOGETHER
Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.
Ails that come from coffee are
cumulative, that is, unless the coffee
Is taken away new troubles are con
tinually appearing and the old ones
get worse.
"To begin with,” says a Kansan. ”1 !
was a slave to coffee Just as thou
sands of others to-day; thought I
could not livo without drinking strong
coffee every morning for breakfast
ami I bad sick headaches that kept
ine in hod several days every month.
Could hardly keep my food on my
stomach hut would vomit as long as
I could throw anything up and when
I could get hot coffee to stay on my
stomach I thought 1 was better.
"Well, two years ago this spring I |
was that sick with rheumatism I j
cou4d not use my right arm to do any- I
thing, had heart trouble, was nerv
ous. My nerves were all unstrung i
and my finger nails and tips were i
blue as if 1 had a chill all the time
and my face and hands yellow as a
pumpkin. My doctor said It was heart
dlsaase and rheumatism and my
neighbors said I had Bright’s disease
and was going to dlo.
"Well. I did not know what on
earth was the matter and every morn
ing would drag myself out of bed and
go to breakfast, not to eat anything,
but to force down some more coffee.
Then In a little while I would be so
nervous, my heart would beat like
everything.
"Finally one morning I told my hus
band I believed coffee was the cause
of this trouble and that I thought I
would try Postum which I had seen
advertised. He said ’All right’ so we
got Postum and although 1 did not
like It at first I got right down to
.business and made It according to
directions, then it was fine and the
whole family got to using it and 1
tell you It has worked wonders for
me. Thanks to Postum in place of the
poison, coffee. I now enjoy good
health, have not been In bed with sick
headache for two years although I had
It for 30 years before I began Postum
and my nerves are now strong and I
have no trouble from my heart or
from the rheumatism.
"I consider Postum a necessary ar
ticle of food on my table. My friends
who come here and taste my Postum
say It is delicious." Name given by

John Had No Desire to Return to
Loving Spouse.
"Spiritualism." said Gov. Aycock of
North Carolina, "is a marvelous thing.
I used to know a widow who thought
she would look into it a little. She
visited a medium, and the man greed
for $5 to give her some conversation
wjth her dead husband.
"He put the lights out and fell Into
a trance, and suddenly a dim. pale
shape appeared In the furthest, black
est corner of the room.
"’Are you my husband? Are you
John?’ the widow whispered, tremu
lously.
“’I am John,’ a bass voice an
swered..
"For a moment, awe-stricken, the
widow was silent. Then she said:
"‘Do you forgive me for my ill
treatment of you in life?’
" *1 forgive all.’ replied the voice.
‘ ‘Are you happier than you were
when you were living?’
" ’Much happier.’
“ ’Have you no desire to return
to earth?’
“ ‘None whatever.’
' ‘Where are you. John?’
“ ‘ln Hades,’ said the spirit.”
First Briton in India.
The fiist Englishman who is known
for certain to have gone out to India
was. according to a recent correspon
dent in an Indian paper, a certain
Thomas Stephens, a member of a well
to-do Wiltshire family and an Oxonian,
who landed somewhere near Goa about
the year 1579. and spent forty years in
Jesuit missionary work in Goa and the
neighborhood. Stephens not only suc
t ceeded in mastering Marathi and Kon
j kani, which were the languages spoken
by the majority of the people on the
west coast, but left behind him among
other works in Marathi of literary
I merit the "Purana,” an epic; and it is
| in his capacity as the author of this
that Stephens’ name is best known
among the West Coast inhabitants.
| The poem contains over 11,000
strophes of four lines each. It nar
rates in a lofty style the events that
led up to the establishment of the
Christian religion, and from the crea
tion to the ascension of our Lord, who
figures as the hero of the epic. A
new edition of the "Purana” is to be
i published in Mangalore, no printed
copy of the work being now available
—The Athenaeum.
Consider Himself Dead.
Mr. L., a good-natured German, was
the proprietor of a clothing business in
a country town. He had In his em

vanced from cash boy to head clerk.
| Since his promotion John had several
times asked for an increase of salary,
' and each time his request had been
I granted. One morning he again ap
peared at the old merchant's desk
with another request for an increase
of $lO a month.
I ''Vy, shon.” said ■ Mr. I*. “[ dink I
bays you pooty veil alretty; vat for I
bays you any more?”
j "Well." replied John, confidently, "I
am your principal help here. I know
ever}' detail of the business, and, in
deed. I think that you could not get
along without me.”
j "Is dot so? Vy, Shon. vot would I
. do suppose you vas to die?"
j "Well, suppose that you would have
j to get along without me then.”
The old Teuton took several whiffs
from his big pipe and finally said:
"Veil, Shon. I guess you petter gon
slder yourself dead.” —Youth's Con>

The Czar a Book Lover.
Here is quite a delightful confession
from the Czar of all the Russias,
whose heart must now be sorely trou
bled by the disasters of the present
war:
“I love traveling, but only when I
can do It in my own way. I never
travel otherwise than at night, and
spend my day visiting museums and
quaint old streets, bazars when I am
in the East, antiquarian shops when I
am in the North. I am more of an
Asiatic than a European In my tastes,
and I have not only a vast collection
of Indian curios and quite an army
of Buddhas large and small, but also
a library composed of books treating
of Indiana subjects alone, and another
of hooks dealing with Egyptian lore. t
Were I not —well, what I am—l should
he the greatest bookworm in the
world.”
The Outdoor Christian.
God, forgive me for an upatart
That I do not plead for grace.
Nor bask within purring praises
In the radiance of thy face.
I am so busy living. Lord.
And loving, night ami day.
I cannot always find the time
To kneel me down and pray.
God. forgive me for a bungler.
That I cannot tune by chime
To the anthem and the chantry
Of the dressy Sabbath time.
I know the word of sea and sky.
The note of dell and nook.
But cannot seem to entch the air
Of olden altar book.
God. forgive me that T love the®
As the flowers love the light.
With a seething, silent rapture.
With a dear but dumb delight.
You bred my faith so stanch and
strong.
My creed so brave an 1 gav.
I dare to love and praise thee In
Mine own nntrammeled way!

Present Day Amber Is Resin.
According to the best modern au
thorities the so-called amber found in
Syria, India and Madagascar is not
amber at all, but a resin, nearly al
lied to copal, which is the product of

ent day. True amber is the resin of
aclcular trees long since extinct, ami
there is a good deal of conflict among
scientists as to which geological per
iod It belongs to.
Flight Through Frozen North.
The Lapland limited is perhaps the

—ln others. It does not occur to
them that it Is a cultivable quality,
just as grumbling is.
Corn Birds Will Not Bother.
A well known farmer says he wets
his seed corn with coal oil before
planting it. and as a result the birds
and insects do not bother It before It
comes up. The oil does not injure
the germ and keep it from sprouting.
This has been proved by experience,
as he has never had to replant.—Fil

Dliss Nellie HolmesT
of the Young Woman’s Temper
ance Association of Buffalo, N.Y.,
strongly advises all suffering
women to rely, as she did, up
on Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vege
table Compound.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkhaii : Your med
icine is indeed an ideal woman’s medi
cine, and by far the best I know to
restore lost health and strength. I
suffered misery for several years, being
troubled with menorrhagia. My back
ached, I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I would often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief but, finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.
I tried your Vegetable Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the East who was visiting me.
“ I am glad that 1 followed her ad
vice, for every ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a
fine appetite and have gained in flesh.
My earnest advice to suffering women
is to put aside all other medicines and
to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound.” Miss Nelli*
