AN EVERY-DAY STRUGGLE. Too Many Women Carry the Heavy Load of Kidney Sickness. Mrs. E. W. Wright of 172 Main street, Haverhill, Mass., says: "In 1898 I was suffering so with sharp pains in the small of the back and had such frequent dizzy spells that I could scarce ly get about the house. The urinary passages were also quite irregular. Monthly periods were so distressing I dreaded their approach. This was my condition for four years. Doan's Kid ney Pills helped me right away when I began with them and three boxes cured me permanently.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh —Had to Use Crutches—‘‘Cuticura Remedies the Best on Earth." “In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physi cian who had charge of me was try ing to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success. At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered un told agonies for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of ointments. 1 could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw u change in my limb. Then I be gan using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during the day, and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up Just the same ns If 1 never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Reme dies. the best on Owl's earth. I am •working at the present day after five years of suffering. The cost of Cuti cura Ointment and Soap was only s<’>. but the doctors' bills were more like S6OO. John M. Lloyd,7lß S.

Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, us they Imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney dlseuse, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves und their eusy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which ho. ussuming them to bo such, prescribes his pills und [mtlons. In reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some uterino disease. The physician, ignorant of tho cause of suffering, encourages tills prac tice until large bills are made. Tho suf fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consentient complications. A pro[>er medicinn llko I)r.

In some parts of the country the bell which tolls the old year out is called the “Old Lad’s Passing Bell. In western England the bolls peal merrily on “Oak Apple Day,” to cele brate the escape of King Charles at Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as "Pan cake Beil," because in old-time phrase. It “summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fasting.” A lively peal of bells is often rung at the end of the Sunday morning ser vice and Is called “Pudding Bell." Per haps Its purpose is to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven. Every night at five minutes past 9, “Great Tom.” the great bell of Christ church college at Oxford, booms out its ponderous note 101 times. This particular number was chosen In accordance with the number of stu dents at the foundation of tho col lege.—Youth’s Companion. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ig nition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of tho now Rotter dam quay is related by the Technlsehe Dundschau. Rains had been In use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to tlie solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been chnrred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous Ignition. When leaving the plies in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remain ing confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surrounding.*. Hard and Fast Rule Impossible. It Is surprising how many people there are In this world who want to increase the discomforts of life. There is always bobbing up some professor or propagandist who informs us that everything we have ever done is wrong and that the only road to physi cal salvation is to follow Ids own schedule. And now comes a man irom Chicago—where they know more things which aren't so than in any city In the world—and tells us that we must not eat soup, pie, pancakes, pud dings and cold meats, except ham. and apparently make our principal diet spinach, asparagus, lettuce and on ions. Probably most persons eat more than is good for them and it is cer tain that, generally speaking, food is not well cooked. But to lay down a law for the human race is absurd.— Philadelphia Inquirer. Salt and Civilization. Salt has had much influence in shap ing the civilization and exploration of the world. It is believed by many that the oldest trade routes were created for the salt traffic. This was certain ly the case with the caravan routes in Libya and the Sahara, while the mines of North India were the center of a large trade before the time of Alex ander. Salt, too, has played a consid erable part in the distribution of man. He was forced to migrate to places where it could be obtained. This brought him to the seashore, where he gained his ideas of maritime com merce. Lastly, the preservative ef fects of salt on flesh food made long oceanic voyages possible and thus opened up the world to commerce and civilization. Reclaiming the Sahara Desert As a result of recent scientific in vestigations it may be possible to re vise our ideas of the barrenness of the Sahuru desert, since it has been found by boring that there are numerous springs which rise to the surface and make possible a system of irrigation. In the territory to the south of Algeria a government irrigation survey has been at work making a series of deep test borings, some of which are as deep as 2,000 feet. In this way con siderable water has been encountered and in certain oases already twice the usual amount of water has been made available for the palm groves.—Har per’s Weekly. Wouldn’t Take the Office. Patrick Plunkett, a well-known Irish man of Portland, Me., wished to be elected an officer of some well-known society. The members having as sembled one day, he arose and said: “I nominate Patrick Plunkett.” See ing that nobody moved, he again arose and said: “I second the motion." But still they failed to notice him. This time he cried out: “But be d —d If I’ll take it.” Quaint Ceremony Maintained. There are still one or two houses in England where quaint ceremonies of older days are strictly maintained. Lowther Castle, Penrith, is an in stance in point. One picturesque in cident always takes place every even ing, even when the Earl and Countess are dining quite alone. Lord Lons dale drinks first to "The King,” next addressing Lady Lonsdale, to "The Ladies.” He then sits down and her ladyship rising, proposes with equal gXflrlty "The Gentlemen.” ANCIENT BEDS TOO SUMPTUOUS. Beautiful and Imposing They Were. But Not Comfortable. In olden times beds were very sump tuous articles of furniture, and the gift of one In a will represented in many cases a large sum of mone>. the bedstead with its fittings frequent ly having cost several hundred pounds. In Elizabeth's time and earlier, bedsteads were imposing crea tions of oak, richly carved in all man ner of quaint device, with, perhaps, a grinning satyr peering from behind a pillar, sufficiently grotesque to mur der the slumbers of the most somno lent. Those were the days, too, of heavy silken hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroidered in silk and gold and silver thread with heavy bullion fringes to add weight and ma jesty. Such beds may be seen in some of tho valuable collections at the museums and at English country seats, such as Warwick castle and other notable old places. To modern eyes they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the simple, dainty beds of modern times. DREW ADMIRATION OF RUSKIN. Alpine Bird Compelled Thought of Writer and Philosopher. While among the dark, piney preci pices of the Chartreuse hills, one day. the famous John Ruskin saw for the third time what he thought the most wonderful of ail Alpine birds—a gray, fluttering, stealthy creature, about the size of a sparrow, but of colder gray and more graceful, which haunts the sides of the fiercest torrents. He wrote: "There Is something more strange In It than in the sea-gull that seems a powerful creature, and the power of the sea not of a kind su adverse, so hopelessly destructive. But this small creature, silent, tender and light, almost like a moth In its low and Irregular flight, almost touch ing with its wings the crests of waves that would overthrow a granite wall, and haunting the hollows of the black, cold, herbless rocks that are continu ally shaken by their spray, has per haps the nearest approach to the look of a spiritual existence I know in ani mal life." The Humming Bird. Scientifically humming birds are "trochilidae," and those who make a special study of them are "trochi> diste” —although the birds are not Identical with the old Greek “trochl lub" or “runner” bird, which, accord ing to Herodotus, entered the laws of the sleeping crocodile and obliged its big friend by picking leeches from his throat. The Spanish name for the humming bird is "tominejo”—meaning a third of a dram, and referring, of course, to the bird’s minuteness. But the prettiest names are those such as the French "froufrou,” which refer to the humming noise sometimes pro duced by the almost Incredibly rapid vibration of the wings. “Purring with her wings” is the expression of Thomas Morton (1632), the first Eng lish writer to mention the humming bird. Arctic Expedition Amusements. In the British arctic expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains had a file of the London Times twenty years old containing the Crimean war reports. One copy was given out to each ship daily: the officers hod it first, then it went to the forecastle, and soon every one w-as as keen about the news as if the war had been proceeding. The clergyman in control of the press was besought to issue an evening edition, and when Sebastopol was about to be taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper office?, a locker, was almost stormed. The editor, however, was firm, and continued with his daily is sue, the Interest being -kept up to the end of the expedition. Mistakes of Authors. "I do wish, ’ said the Omnivorous Reader, “that these fiction producers would be a little more careful in their descriptions of people. I have become hardened to a girl with eyes like vio lets, lips like cherries and hair like spun gold; though such a one must be a creature fit only for a dime mu seum. But here is Ponsou do Ter rail, my favorite French feuilletonist, who says, ‘The man’s hands were cold and clammy, like those of a serpent,’ and 'The count walked up and down the garden reading the newspaper with his hands behind his back.’ Now. wouldn't thnt jar you?” He Was Bad Marksman. A man once possessed a valuable sporting dog which was extremely clever in the retrieving of dead and wounded game. It had, in fact, never been known to lose a bird when brought down by the gun. The owner, however, was a remarkably bad shot and one day, on firing both barrels hastily at a rabbit which ran unexpect edly across his path, he heard a mourn ful howl. The next moment his dog appeared carrying a black object in his mouth and laid it carefully at his master's feet. The animal had re trieved his own tail. —London Globe. Death a Gain for Christian.

In hun dreds of instances these pills have suc ceeded where other remedies failed. •*My iudigestiou,” said Mr. J. R. Mil ler, of Dayton, Va., “came iu the first place from the fact that a few years ago I worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd hour whenever the chance came, and always very hurriedly. One day I found myself a victim of terrible dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the time for several years. “ I always had a great deal of distress after eating, and when I got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. I had very uncomfortable feelings about my heart, and was dizzy and, whenever 1 stooped over and then straightened up, my eyes would be badly blurred. “I read the statements of several per sons who had got rid of obstinate stom ach troubles by using Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills. I bought, some and they did me a world of good. They acted promptly and did just what was claimed for them. I lmvo no more distress af ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from the region of my heart; the alarming dizzy spells have disappeared, aud I am strong again.’’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but M always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. ■ They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes ■ all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and 1 best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. 1 The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits 1 conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest I I reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of I Fig 3 is an excellent laxative remedy and* that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they I L are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers choicest J L remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full fl| ■ name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.

I Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the I immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are ft individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles ■ of tho profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate M to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations I sometimes have tho name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, ■ or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of | the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations I should bo rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations J I they find it necessary to resort to. misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes M A off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or ‘Tig Syrup,” which I m does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, 1 W he is attempting to deceive tind mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his B I establishment, whether it be larue or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and 1 I and deception in one case he will do bo with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of I | physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided hv every one who values health and happiness. j | Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand fl ft for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom ii may be purchased every- I ft where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions I M exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return M % any imitation which may be sold to them.
