fl / * ' NAPOLEON'S VALUE OF VICTORY B It Kinds a Striking Counterpart In B Recent World Triumphs. B Napoleon knew well the value or a j H victory. After Au.sterlitz the world H seemed his. Fame invited , fortune fn- H ! vored , everything stimulated his aspir- B ing-nuibition. With growing power he B gatheied the fruits of victory. And so B has it ever been. Success succeeds. A 1 uotHble illustration of this truth is fur- | B nished by the great victories won at the H World's Fair in ' 93 and the California H Midwinter Fair in ' 94 by Dr. Price's B ] Cream Baking Powder. Ever increasing | H < sales and popularity have been the rc- H suit. The people have promptly ratified H the official vei. .ict that declared Dr. H B Price's , for leavening power , keeping H qualities , purity and general excellence H the "foremost baking powder in all the H world. . " Quite as quickly as the great H Emperor do they know the value of a B victory that means worldwide supremacy. H I had the rheumatism so badly that I H could not get my hand to my head. I H tried the doctor's medicines without the B least benefit. At last I thought of Cham- H bcrlain's Fain Halm ; the first bottle re- H lieved all the pain , and owe-half of the H second bottle effected n complete cure H | W. J.

' ' H H The bladder was created for one pnrpose , H B namely , a receptacle for the urine , and as such H B 'l ls not liable to any form of disease except H HJ by one of two ways. The first way is from im- B B perfect action of the kidneys. The second , B B waV 's from careless local treatment of other H B diseases. B I CHIEF CAUSE. H Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is H B the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the B K womb , like the bladder , was created for one H m purpose , and if not doctored too much is not H S liable to weakness or disease , except in rare B f § cases. It is situated back of and very close to 1 H j the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or in- H K convenience manifested m the kidneys , back , H m bladder or urinary passage is often , by misH - H m take , attributed to female weakness or womb B trouble of some sort. The error is easily made B and may be as easily avoided. To find out B correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-four B hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney | or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordi- H nar > ' effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root , B t'lc ' great kidney , and bladder remedy is B soon realized. If you need a medicine j H you should have the best.

Mrs. Cameron , Who Was a Friend of UorJoh' > l and Tennyson. In The Century V. 0. Scott O'Con nor has an article on "Mrs. Cameron , Her Friends and Her Photographs. " Mr. O Counor says : A feature of her personality which lay ut the root cf her great snecess as a photographer was her love of all that was beautiful. "Shownsnlwaystoolcby a face , " as nu old woman in Freshwater v'ho remembers her put it to mo. Charles Turner said the Famu thing in poet's languugo when ho told her , in the sonnet ho addressed to her on leaving the isle of Wight after a visit , that she "loved nil loveliness. " In obedience to this impulse she invariably stopped and spoke to any one , however unknown , whether in a great Loudon thoronghfaro oravillago laue , whoso beanty attracted her. "I am Mrs. Cameron , " she would say. "Perhaps you have heard of mo. You would oblige mo very much if you would let me photograph you. Will you let mo do so ? " And by such bold aud unconventional means she prevailed on many , absolute strangers though they were , to sit to her. Ono of her models captured in this way was a yonug lady como as a sum mer visitor to Freshwater. Mrs. Camer on , engrossed at that time in some remarkably - markably fiuo studies illustrative of the "Idylls of the King , " was at a loss for a model for Queen Guinevero. But the advent of the fair stranger settled all her doubts. Hero was a beauty suited to her purpose , and within the hour she had carried her off to lunch and subse quent photography. The lady proved a most kind and indefatigable - defatigablo model. Thevillago postman had already been secured for King Ar thur , and Mrs. Cameron's picture of him in this character is ono of the best things in the collection. A friend , going ono day to Dimbola , found the young lady looking rather fatigued. "Oh. " she said , with an expressive gesture , " 1 am so tired. " Supposing her fatigue was the result of a long walk on a midsummer day , my friend made some snitublo refereuco to the matter , but the young lady an swered with a smile : "Oh , no. I have not been for a walk. I have been lying on the floor for the last two hours , clutching the postman's ankle. " Mrs. Cameron , ever kind and un selfish , possessed the faculty of bringing out such qualities in others. In 1879 she died , a few mouths after her last re turn to Ceylou. "As the day died , " her sous wrote to Lord Tennyson , "as the clay died on Sunday , .lannary the 2(5th ( , the sweet , tender , gracious spirit of our beloved ' ' mother passed away in peace. " No ; death could have been more calm , more beautiful , than hers Lincoln's "Selfishness. " Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow passenger on the old time mud wagon 1 coach on the corduroy road which antedated - ] dated railroads that all men were j prompted by selfishness in doing good or evil. His fellow passenger was an tagonizing his position , when they were passing over a corduroy bridge that spanned a slough. As they crossed this bridge and the mud wagon was shaking like a Sucker with chills , they espied an old razorbacked sow on the bank of the slough , making a terrible noise be cause her pigs had got into the slough and were unable to get ont and in dan ger of drowning. As the old coach be gan to climb the hillside Mr. Lincoln called out , "Driver , can't you stop just a moment ? " The driver replied , "If the other feller don't object. " The "other feller" who was no less a personage than at that time Colonel E. D. Baker , the gallant general who gave his life in defense of Old Glory at Ball's Bluff did not "object , " when Mr. Lincoln jumped out , ran back to the slough and began to lift the little pigs out of the mud and water and place them on the bank. When ho returned , Colonel Eaker re marked , "Now , Abe , where does selfish ness como in on this little episode ? " 1 "Why , bless you soul , Ed , that was the very essence of selfishness. I would j have had no peace of mind all day had I gone on and left that suffering old sow 1 worrying qver those pigs. I did it to get peace of mind , don't you see ? " Spring field ( Ills. ) Monitor. Paying the Cook. In old times to dine with a nobleman cost more in tips to the servants than a club dinner. James Payn relates that Lord Poor , a well named Irish peer , ex cused himself from dining with the Duke of Ormoncl upon the ground that he could not afford it. "If you will give me the guinea I have to pay your cook ( fancy ! ) , I will como as often as you choose to ask me , ' * which was accordingly - • cordingly done. The duke , however , had , not the pluck to stop the practice. Lord j Taafe , a general officer in the Austrian ! service , did what he could. He always attended his guests to the door. When J they put their hands into their pockets , I ho said : "No. If you do give it , give it ! to me , for it was I who paid for your < dinner. " To Sir Timothy Waldo must • be given the credit of putting an end to the monstrous practice. After dinner with the Duke of Newcastle he put a crown into the cook's hand. It was re jected. " 1 do not take silver , sir. " "Very good , and I do not give gold. " This courageous rejoinder "caught on , " and the day of vails to cooks was over A Shrevrcl Cyclist. An eminent queen's counsel is said t to take his bicycle exercise in the following - J lowing fashion : He goes out every ( night , but he always rides before the , wind , and consequently the direction of j his ride depends upon the wind. He always - j ways comes back by train. London | Telegraph. t Early Training. "It seems strange that they should make such a vulgar display of their wealth.
