A FILTER INSIDE YOU HOW YOUS BLOOD IS KEPT PURE. flaalth Comes From Par Blood. Pare .Blood Depend on Toar FUter Inside Too. Tar Kidneys Keep Toar Bloody Par If They Are Welt A JTw Part A bo at Them, and How to M&k Them Well When They Are Sick. Toar blood Is what nourishes your body. New blood is made every minute. It goes to the lungs, gets fresh air, and then passes through the body. In pass ing, it deposits new flesh, fat, bones, etc.. and takes up worn out matter. This worn out matter goes to the kid neys. The kidneys filter it out of the blood and throw it out of the body. That is, when they are well, they do. When your kidneys are well, they act, as perfect filters, to keep your blood pure. When they are sick, they act imperfectly. They leave the bad matter in. Sometimes they take out the good. There is nothing more poisonous than bad blood. A proof of this is rheumatism. It Is Imply a blood-poisoning caused by the bad matter left in the blood by sick kidneys. Bright'a disease is the kidneys work ing the other way taking the good food out of the blood. Both kinds of kidney sickness are dangerous. Both can be cured by Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills. One of the most wonderful facts of our body is this natural filter inside us. Our kidneys are very important organs. We don't take enough care of them. We are sick oftener than there Is any need for. It is simply because we take no heed to our kidneys. Sick kidneys show their effects in many different diseases. Rheumatism and Bright's disease are very common. Anaemia, Neural gia, Pain in the Back, Dizziness, Blad der Troubles, Gravel, Diabetes, Sleep lessness, Nervousness. These are only a few symptoms, or so-called "diseases." Back of them all are the sick kidneys. Once the filters can be made to work, all these symptoms will disappear. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills are made principally from the roots of the asparagus plant, which has a spe cial curative action on the kidneys. It gives them new life and strength. It helps them to do their work as it ought to be done. It cures their sickness. It cleans and renews the filter. When the kidneys are well you will feel a great difference at once. Your complexion will clear, and your whole body will get renewed life and fresh ness. This is the effect of Dr. Hobb's Spar agus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys, of the re-vitalized kidneys on the im pure blood. With a course of Dr. Hobb's Spara gus Kidney Pills you will get new life. They will cure you when other medi cines, which do not reach the real seat cf disease, cannot help you. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills are for sale by all druggists, price 50c. per box, or will be sent prepaid to any ad dress on receipt of price. An interesting booklet, explaining about the kidneys and their power for good and evil, sent free on request. Address Hobb's Medicine Co., Chicago, tr San Francisco. SPICES AND OTHER THINGS.

NTRODUCTORY This section in cludes Chapters C, 7 and 8, together with a glance at the remainder of the book. Time, 1222, B. C. Place. Aphrah, near She chem. Gideon's army gathered at -rrrr. mm the fountain of Harod, near the hill of Moreh. Near the same spot Saul fought his last bat tle. During the two hundred years since Ihe death of Joshua there had ben three great relapses into idolatry, followed by the punishment of oppres sion by their enemies. And when the bitter experience had done its work, and the people repented of their sin, judges were raised up who delivered them. The effect of the suffering and of the deliverance, the mingled sever ity and goodness of God, preserved them in peace and prosperity for a gen eration, so that out of the two hundred years before Gideon there were but fifty-three years of oppression, includ ing that from which Gideon delivered Israel. During this time Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, and Barak, with his partner, Deborah, were the judges. 13 And when Gideon was come, be hold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of THRESHING WHEAT. Midian (the oppressor of the Jews), and came, unto a tent (the king's tent), and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And nis fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man cf Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And" it waa so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he wor shipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said. Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. (Gideon tells this story to his army to encourage them.) 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. (Trumpets power; lamps grace; pitchers capacity for truth.) 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say. The sword of the I Lord, and of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the out side of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the-watch : and they blew the trum pets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal : and they cried. The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp : and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow, even through out all the host : and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah. unto Tabbath. (The Midianites retreated in disorder.) 23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued o.fter the Midianites. (Israel was now free again.) Note The stratagem of Gideon was simple. The torches were concealed in the large pitchers, or bread-jars, until the men had taken their stations, so that their movement might not be detected. It was the duty of the leader of a band to blow the trumpet and give the war-cry. By him, in a night at tack, stood a torch-bearer to light the way, and guide the soldiers so that they might always know where to find the leader; the torch at night was like the tanner of day. Three hundred trumpets and torches represented three hundred companies of troops. The breaking of the jars, the outflashing of the lights, the deafening blare of trum pets on every side aroused the enemy from sleep. The fords of the Jordan were seized by the Israelites, and the destruction of the invadera GOD'S TRUTH. (From Ram's Horn.) When a preacher spends more time In preaching than he does In praying, he is not doing God's work as he wants it done. It is hard to find a man who will preach the same gospel on a salary of five thousand a year -that he did on five hundred. The difference between a wise man and a fool, is that the wise man knows that he knows little, and the fool thinks he knows mflch I I TRAINING CARRIER-PIGEONS. Bow They Are Taught to Act as Me-sage-Bearer. DeWitt C. Lockwood writes an ac count of the "Carrier-Pigeons of Santa Catalina," describing the rapid mail service established between the two places in the September St. Nicholas. He says: It must be understood, how ever, that in certain pigeons, especially those known as the Belgian variety, the homing instinct is developed in a remarkable degree; and it is the bird's intense love of home, and the almost unvarying certainty of their return thither after having been taken some distance away and then released, which makes them valuable as carriers. The methods used in training a pigeon for special service are not by any means similar, as many persons seem to think, to those employed In training a dog to run after a stick, or a white-spottel pony to dance the polka. A carrier's education consists in conveying hin away from home and letting him go, when he simply flies back to the loft where he belongs.This sounds almost as thrilling as the story of the enterpris ing mouse that first ran up the clock and then ran down again, and of course it conveys no idea of the immense amount of care and patience involve 1 in the rearing and breeding of the bird s the special cultivation of those qual! ties which produce the best results, an 1 so on. In training the birds for Cata lina three or four were usually placed together in a pasteboard box. perforat(?.l with holes about the size of a quarter of a dollar. They were carried to a spot a mile or so from the loft, in a direct line for the coast of Catalina, an 1 released. A few days later the same birds were taken a greater distance away say three or four miles from home and liberated. In this manner the several succeeding journeys were gradually lengthened until San Pedro, the seaport of Los Angeles, twenty-twj miles distant, was reached. Then the pigeons were taken aboard the steamer and set at liberty a few miles out at sen, increasing the distance upon the four occasions that followed, until at last the end of the route was reached and the birds would fly, without fail, across the sea and over the land to their home. WEDDING DRESSES TO HIRE. w York Girls Can Have Nice Troux Keans leaned for State Urraniun. From the New York Herald: Madi son street "braces up" a little down near the police station and thereabout is a nest of curious shops. One of them has in the window, in English and He brew, this sign: "Wedding dresses to hire." I went into this shop the other day. explained after a struggle that I wa? prompted by curiosity and not by a dp sire to prepare for approaching nup tials, and asked just what the s'.gn meant. The proprietor led me into a rear room a stifling closet that remindel one of a Turkish bath lifted the lid o? a big chest and pointed out a pile of white satin garments, a little faded, but. wonderfully beflounced and bedizene.i. "There," he said. "And do women who are to be mar ried come here and hire these dresso-; and return them after the wedding?" "Many do." "Why?" "Well, most women here can't afford a nice wedding dress, but they all want to look beautiful on their wedding day, so I have these dresses and so they come to me." "Then one of these dresses has been worn by several women?" j "Maybe a hundred. One dress costs them a dollar, a better one two or three. It is a great risk. They are not always careful. Some, however, are very good, and bring the dresses back to me with their own hands the next day. I do not think there is much money in the trade, though. Perhaps not so many get mar ried now. Is the East side getting rich that it can afford wedding dresses of its own, or poor that it cannot afford to marry?" And I, not knowing, had to leave him struggling with his own problem. HUMOROUS.

Barry, if they live until November 30, next, will be 87 years old, says the New York World. They were born in the town of Manheim, Herkimer county, N. Y., in 1808, and moved to Gates. Orleans county, with their parents in 1816. Nathaniel, who lost his wife last win ter, still lives on a farm with two of his sons. He still helps them in the work. He lives about two miles and a half from his brother Benjamin, who resides at Yates Center, and enjoys going fishing1 with him at Shadagee, on Lake Ontario. Benjamin R. lives on a small place of thirty and a half acres, which be helps to work. He also oversees his farm of 117 acres and goes fishing nearly every day. Both brothers cast their first vote for Andrew Jackson, and have voted the democratic ticket ever since. Ben jamin has taken the New York World ever since it was first published. On August 22 the twins attended the Or leans County Pioneer picnic, at Lake side park. They sat on the speakers' stand and were cheered and also sere naded by the band. Steam Up!

All the hymns, all the prayers, all the stripture readings are as nothing1 unless you make their beauty come into your daily life, writes Ruth Ashmore in the October Ladies' Home Journal. Take some of the care off the shoulders of the busy mother; make life seem more pleasant by your gracious thought of that father who toils all day long. Make it easier for a sister to dislike the wrong and do the right; show a brother the rosy side of the cross, and so make j it lighter for him to carry. And do all j this, not with loud protestations, but j quietly and gently, letting God's name be whispered in your heart, and being only the sister and daughter without I forcing the knowledge that you are the Christian. Then, very soon, some one will realize that your beautiful life is lived for Christ's sake, and then you will represent ilim as all women should, not by speaking from the pulpit, not by giving commands, but by living every day the life that he would wish should be yours.

Mr. Crawford arrived in Beaver Valley recently, and both he and Miss Duncan were pleased with each other, and they were mar--ied.

Sir David Brewster has given an ex cellent account of a mysterious night sound which would have frightened most persons, but which proved inno cent and harmless when tested by a steady observer. A gentleman heard a strange sound every night soon after getting into bed. His wife, who re tired earlier than he, also heard the wierd sound, but not until the husband had got into bed. For a long time no possible cause could be assigned, and the effect upon the imagination became rather unpleasant. The husband dis covered some time afterward that the noise came from the door of a ward robe which 6tood near the head of te bed. It was his custom to open and close this wardrobe when undressing, but, as the door was a little tight, he could not quite shut it. The door, probably affected by changes in the temperature, forced itself open with a dull sound which was over in an in stant. And so many a ghost story could be solved by a little attention to the sounds resulting from the expansion and contraction of woodwork, such as doors, panels, window-frames, wain woating and furniture. Heard atnighi. when all is still, the sudden creaking of furniture in a room is often quite startling, until one comes to know that it is due to the weather. Lippincott's Magazine. SlOO Reward. SIOO.

Rapidity of movement she considers neither conducive to grace nor as evincing good style. On the contrary, she sits erect, with elbows well in, gliding along slowly, and with so little motion that the loss of dignity is not thought of in her connection. She does not wear skirts bo short as to at tract attention when she dismounts. In fact, in everything- connected with the wheel her movements are so quiet and unobtrusive as to excite the admi ration of the onlooker instead of the derision so frequently recorded.
