RESTORED TO HEALTH. After Suffering With Kidney Dlior ders for Many Years! Mrs. John S. Way, 209 S. 8th St., Independence, Kans., says: "For a number of years I was a victim of disordered kidneys. My back ached sage of tho kidney so constantly, tho pas cretlonB was Irregu lar and my foot and ankles were badly swollen. Spots often appeared beforo my eyes and I became very nervous. After using numerous remedies without re lief I was completely cured by Doan's Kidney Pills. This seems remarkable when you consider my advanced ago." Remember the name Doan's.

' Tho wig Is only worn by English iarrlsters to glvo them a stern, Judi cial appearance, and no one can say that it falls In this respect. Tho cus tom was originated by a French Judgo in tho seventeenth century when, happening to don a marquis' wig one day, he found it gave him luch a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to get ono for himself and wear it at all times In court. This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only Judges, but bar risters, also took up tho custom throughout Europe. The Dentist's Joke. At a recent dinner of the Authors' club In London to Mr. Owen Seaman, tho editor of Punch, Mr. Walter l manuel, another member of tho staff of Punch, referred to tho fact that the man with the largest senso of humor ho had ever struck was an Englishman a dentist. He went to him after suf Torino long with a toothache He re used to havo gas, and tho dentist lulled' out a tooth, leaving him writh ig in pain, and took the tooth to the window, whero ho laughed quite heart ily. Ho groaned: "What's the Joke?" "Wrong tooth," said tho dentist A Real Argument. They were talking about arguments, not In tho abstract, but as applying to domestic happiness. "What do you think is the most unanswerable ar gument you ever heard7" one bach elor asked a married man. "That's very easy," he replied.

Montreal, Can. Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmtmm "In my Father's houso are nmny man Ions." John 14:2. Too much can hnrdlv ho mmlo of the fact that heaven, In a very Im portant sense, In Its essential ele ments, Is hero and now. Nevertheless, thero is, of course, a life hereafter bo- ond this world, n life eternal In Im. mnnucl's land. There Is n place where Christ Is." n unit which Ho told HIa disciples He wt.Id proparo for their final abode. Wlu. should ha our attitude toward It, sv,t feeling about It? What use enn u- nrnfltnhlv mnko of It In tho dcopciiJ5 of our spirituality, tho perfectly of our character? It Is a test both of our faift nnd our fnlthfulness. In proportion to tho vigor of our faith will bo tho clonr- noss of our sight of tho things un seon by mortnl eye, our realization of tho Intangible. Wo may havo n faith so strong that there will bo no more doubt ns to the reality of that world than of this, no hesitation whntevor In uccoptlng tho Intimations concern ing It which are found In the written Word, no question ns to tho satisfying solidity of Its Joys, tho permnnency of the rich possessions to which it introduces tho redeemed. What will glvo us this faith? Our faithfulness to God nnd duty, our living constant ly In His presence, our cultivating those faculties which apprehend tho things of tho spirit "Tho doctrine of Immortality,' It haB been well said. "Is an achievement and enn tie pre sent In power only ns tho Issue ol that spiritual growth whoso flowor and fruit It Is to be." If wo would achieve certainty about It we must so live that It alone stands ns tho Inter pretation and consummation of our days. Wo must habitually chorlsh such convictions In our soul, must brcntho such n high spiritual atmos phere, must walk so closely with tho Infinite one, with tho Heavenly Fa ther, In our dally experience that no other outcome of our being than Its blissful continuance beyond denth will seem In any way reasonahlo or possible. Such Is tho only path to perfect peaco In this matter. How can a man of evil life really bollovo In tho hereafter? How can he who Is living wholly, or mainly, or even largely for this passing world obtain or retain a firm hold on tho fact that there 1b another world fnr more Im portant a palaco to which this Is but a portico? He could not live nB ho does If ho did so hellevo. His choos Ing that kind of life Inevitably dead ens or destroys his power of belief In anything better by nnd by. We know ns to tho future what wo aro capable of knowing. If wo would know moro wo must bo moro. If wo would soo further Into the future wo must llvo nt a higher elevation. This, nnd not seances or table movings or supposed materializations of the spirits of tho departed, Is tho way to get solltl ground under one's feet as to tho oth er world. Should longlngB for Heaven fill much of our thought and time? Not to such an extent as to prevent tho devotion of all our energies to tho work assign ed ub by the 'Master. Surely not to tho breeding of tho slightest discontent with the duration of our tarrying hero. St. Paul's position about It (Phil. 1:23) would seem to bo Ideal. Ho keenly appreciated tho glorious gain Involved In the transition to tho splendor ns yet so Imperfectly reveal ed, but ho nlso appreciated fully tho Joy of laboring for Jesus on this earth and Increasing tho triumphs of tho gospel. Ho was sufficiently unsolflsh to put nslde his own Joy In favor of the ndvantngo of his converts and others to whom ho could do still further good. It Ib certainly snfe to leavo tho decision as to tho best time and man ner of our denth with Cod, assured that It shall bo exactly aright and need not concern us In the least It Is not natural or possible for thoso In perfect health, In tho springtime of youth, with the Inviting, untried ex perlenco of llfo In this world all bo fore thorn, to feel about another world as they reasonably may who aro manifestly near It nnd whose friends nro mostly there. Yet at all ages It Is wholesome to keep In tho background of our thought tho solemn fact that we aro pilgrims and strangers on these shores of time, nnd soon to launch forth for a voyage to fairer climes. Tho gospel view of denth, that It Is gain, not loss, to tho bollover; sunrise, not sunset; transition, not dnstruc tlon; birth Into a higher state of ho. Ing; something to bo hailed with joy, not shrunk from with horror. Is fnr too rare. Most people, as tho apostlo says, aro "all their lifetime subject to bondage through fenr of death" (Heb 11:15), not knowing that Christ hath abolished death and brought llfo and Immortality" (II Tim. 1:10). What a pity that they should thus miss through lack of faith, ono of tholr chlof joys, tho dellveranco nssured to them In Jesus. It Is our prlvllego, as Browning says, to "gret tho unseen with a cheer," to feel that It wo'l ac cords with "the noni day, tho bustlo of man s work tlmo." to think of ana prepnro for and pass to tho hlghor world which waits us thero. What, In deed, Is there to foar In denth, the foo that the mighty Prince of Llfo so ef fectually conquered, binding him to His triumphant chariot wheels? It's mighty hard being patlont with tho man who prates of his patlunco. Chinese Take to WASHINGTON. America has taught tho peoplo of tho Chinese empire to smoko clgarottes.

Ten years ago the clgnretto was an artlclo used In Chlnn by a small number of people, chlelly foreigners. Tho flold attracted tho attention of a group of American manufacturers who ex amined Into It and decided to Intro duce the cigarette to tho Chinese peo ple by American methods.
