WOMEN HEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never Miupcct it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing clso but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease. '
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gftnsto become diseased.
Pain in the back, headnche, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, n physician's pro
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or largo size bottle im

However, if you wish first to test this
RTeat preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Hinghamton, N. Y., for n

The "had mini of the plains" Is now
extinct, his place having been taken
by mere defaulters, embezzlers, swind

Street Scene-
(Prepared by the National OeoKraphlo So
ciety, Washington, U, C.)
Nepal, in which is situated much of
Alt. Everest, the world's highest pin
uncle, which is now being attacked
by an eluborately equipped British
scientific expedition, is tho true "her
mit kingdom" of today. The govern
ment purposely keeps the rouds which
lend from India to Nnpal in bad con
dition, and travelers are admitted to
hut one small valley, and then only
for special reasons upon a dltllculty
obtained penult.
This kingdom which holds itself so
aloof from the world is a narrow strip
of country about 100 miles wide and
500 miles long, extending for nearly
a third of the distance between India
untl Tibet along the Bky-piercing
Himalayas. On the south it includes
n very narrow strip of plains country,
hut predominantly It is a mountain
ous region. In fact, its possession of
ait. Everest and some of the other
of the highest mountains In the world
give it claim, In one sense at least, to
be tbe most mountainous of countries.
, The Nepalese are a fighting people,
have an excelleut army and organiza
tion, and are fond of show, both In
military display and in their religious
festivals. Tho latter are very numer
ous, and in fact seem to he Intermin
able. Tho women tako u prominent
part in most of them.
Some of the seinl-inilltnry pageants
ond In the massacre of hundreds of
buffaloes. In one such ceremony,
known as the blessing of thu colors,
the communder In chief dips his hands
In n bowl of blood and clasps each
banner In turn, thus Imprinting on
each the marl; of bloody hands. The
scene is somewhat revolting, but prob
ably has Its use in keeping up n mar
tial spirit in tho army.
Voluminous Dresses of Women.
Tho Nepaleso women wear yards
upon yards sometimes as many us a
hundred of line muslin plaited to
form a huge fan-shuped hunch In front,
tho back being quite tight. When a
lady of rank drives In her barouche
she completely fills tho carriage with
her voluminous skirt of brilliant hue.
Above the skirt n vivid little tight-fitting
jncket, usually of velvet, is worn;
tho hair is dressed in a peculiar knot
In front, above tho forehead, and fas
tened to one side by nn enormous gold
plaque with a Jeweled center. A
heavy gold necklace and gold bangles
complete her jewelry. Every imag
inable shade Is used purple Pnlo
blue, green, cnrmlne, orange, white,
yellow, turquoise, and deep red and
tho effect is wonderful.
At tho tlmo of stato ceremonies tho
streets nro tilled with processions of
elephants In gorgeous trappings,
horses and ponies, brilliant military
uniforms, and tho usual crowd of
good-natured, pleasures-loving peoplo,
the wholo ngalnst tho background of
the old temples and natural surround
ings maklug n wonderful spectacle.
Tho Journey into Nepal is' not nn
easy ono. At first thcro is a track
through the forest, but as soon as the
outer hills uro reached tho road loses
itself in tho bed of a stream, up which
tho bearers pick their way with dlfll
culty over and among great boulders.
The official road llnnlly goes over tho
very rough track across tho Chandra
girl pass anrl 'J own tho almost im
passable road on tho other side into
tho Nepal valley. Tho Inst portion
of tho descent is down a long stair
caso of roughly-placed blocks of stone,
and It Is marvelous how tho laden men
and ponies keep tholr footing on it.
In the Nepal Valley.
From tho foot of tho pass an excel
lent carriage road into tho town of
Khattnnndu runs through tho valley
teeming with people, towns, palaces,
temples, and Innumerable shrines.
Thcro nro miles of such good carriago
ronds within tho valley, mostly con
structed in Jung Bahadur's time, and
carriages and pairs, and occasionally
n four-in-hand are constantly used by
tho palaco peoplo.
In this valley, where the shrines
nlono aro said to number more thnn
2,700, tho buildings present an maax-

ing diversity of form, derived from
many sources Egyptian, as shown in
the typical form of the windows and
doorwuys finely adapted to locnl tra
ditions; Persian, Babylonian, Indo
Aryan, and even Ncstorlun in some of
tho designs.
The Inhabitants of Nepnl aro collec
tively known as "Dwellers in the,
Hills," nud uro divided into Innumer
able castes. Tho Gurkhas uro now the
dominant race. Among tho Gurkhar
there are 21 castes and in addition t
these, there arc among the Newars, oi
conquered people, 41 castes und sub.
castes.
The most striking buildings of Ne
pal's comparatively modern capital,
Khatmandu, are, perhaps, thoso com
posing tho Durbar palace, with Its
many quadrangles uud pagoda-shaped
roofs, full of chambers and courts
with smnll communicating doors eas
ily closed, which enable tho Inhabi
tants to defend themselves in case of
political disturbances, whlchJtre not
Infrequent. Some of tho windows arc,

Patan, the Old Capital.
Pntnn was tho old Newar capital,
where Buddhism wns the accepted re
ligion of tho country before tho In
vasion of tho Gurkhas. Although the
largest town In Nepal, it Is u quiet,
sleepy place, much of it falling Into
ruins, but still most picturesque. It
stands in the center of the beautiful
valley, against n background of green
mountains and snowy peaks a net
work of narrow, twisting llltlo streets
packed full of shrines, temples, and
pagodas, ninny of them deserted and
falling into ruins, but still with ex
quisite hits of carving and wonderful
doorways of nil shapes uud sizes and
wonderful designs.
Many of Patau's buildings nre dec
orated with sheets of embossed copper
gilt, und everywhere tho shrines nro
guarded by pairs of fearsomo animals
of enormous size. Carved stone plir
lars aro surmounted by animals, birds,
or fish modeled in metal ; hells of nil
sizes aro everywhere, and huge lotus
thrones In bronzo hold bronze Thunder-Bolts
or Dorgls.
The art of tho Nepalese, or, properly
speaking, tho Nownrs, Is worthy of
special consideration. It was the Ne
wars who brought art to its highest
state of perfection, and their Influence
has extended through thoso hills Into
Sikklm, Bhutnn, and Tibet. Indian
lullueuco has penetrated from tho
south with the advance of Buddhism
and has spread through tho hills, along
tho Brahmaputra valley, to Lhasa, tho
capital of Tibet. On tho othor hand,
Chlneso Iniluenco Is alco strong and
thcro has been Intercourse with that
country for many centuries.
Beautiful Wood Carving.
Nepaleso wood carving is extraordi
narily beautiful and ornate. Every
scrap of wood Is carved in some man
ner; tho struts upholding tho. eaves of
shrines represent satyrs and' dragons,
while windows and doors nro exam

The feudal system, which has pre
vailed among these hills for many
years, Is In a measure responsible for
much of tho artistic work et tho na

no care about food or housing; it la

efficient army of about 82,000 infantry
nnd 2.C00 artillery, with about 100

INTKUMUDIATU A.ND SENIOU TOPIC
-Entering Upon a New Uurecr.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
-A Year's Tenchlne In Antloch.
When God was nhout to launch the
missionary enterprise among the Gen
tiles. He arranged for u new religious
center. Antloch wns admirably
adapted for such n center. The upper
classes wore Greeks and used tho
Greek language. The government
olllclals were llnmnus and used tho
Latin tongue. While the masses wero
Syrians, sprinkled mining them wero
Jews who had como for commercial
purposes; also travellers from nil parts
of the world were In evidence.
I. A Religious Awakening at Antloch
(vv. 10-21).
1. Tho occnslon (v. 10a). The perse
cution nt Jerusalem scattered the
disciples abroad. This God permitted
in order to separate them from tho
home people nt Jerusalem.
2. Tho preachers (v. 10a). They
wero ordinary men nnd women, not
olllclnls. but they were filled with the
yearning desire for lost souls nnd
witnessed of tho Lord Jesus In the
power of the Holy Ghost.
3. What they preached (vv. 10b,
20). They preached tho "Word" and
the "Lord Jesus." All who preach the
Word will preach the Lord Jesus;
for He Is Its center. The reul reason
why there are not conversions today
Is the failure of ministers to preach
tho Word.
IJ. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the
Work at Antloch (vv. 22-21).
This was a wise selection.
1. The character of Barnnbns (v.
24). He was u good man. It Is
highly important In sending a man
to follow up a work of the Spirit that
his chnracter he good. He not only must
be of nn unblemished character, but
his sympathies must bo broad. Ho
must be capable of entering Into full
appreciation of the things about Mm.
Much mischief often results from
sending Injudicious men to look nftcr
the Lord's work. lie was full of the
Holy Spirit. This Is an essential
qualification for pastoral work. Only
a Splrlt-lllled man can appreciate th
workings of the Spirit of God. He
was also a man of great faith.
2. Work done by Barnubas (v. 2.1).
He gladly endorsed the wOrk and
earnestly exhorted thorn to steadfastly
continue In the faith, clinging unto
the Lord. Thre are many allurements
to tempt young Christians. Tho re
joicing of Barnabas shows that he
was a man who could rejoice In thu
work of others. He did more thnn
Inspect the work; for ninny peoplo
were ndded unto the Lord. Doubt
lis he preached.
III. Barnabas Brings Saul (vv. 2.rj,
20).
The work grew to such an extent
that help was nerded. Bnrnnlms had
tho good Jugment to seek Saul for
this Important work. Barnabas knew
that tlu; bringing of Saul would mean
hli taking a secondary place. It is
tho duty of Christian lenders to seek
out men who nre qunllfied for tho
Lord's work and bring them from their
plnccs of obscurity, setting them to
work In the Lord's vineyard. There
aro many men In obscurity which it
requires a Barnabas to bring forth.
IV. The Disciples First Called Chris
tians (v. 20b);
They were not called Christians In
derision, as Is so often asserted. It
was u consequence of Saul und Barna
bas teaching there for a year that
they were called Christians. Tho name
was a consequence of tho teaching. In
all Saul's teaching ho showed tho
unlquo relation which tho Christian
sustains to Christ. Since tho body
closely resembles Us head, Christ, they
were called Christians.
V. The Church at Antloch Sends Re
lief to Jerusalem (vv. 27-30).
Tho Holy Spirit through Agnbus
mndo known n great denrtli through
out tho world. This came to pass In
tho days of Claudius Cesar. Every
man according to his ability deter
mined to send relief unto the brethren
which dwelt In Judea. Tliey mndo up
money for tho poor saints ut Jcrusnlem
nnd sent It hy tho hands of Barnabns
nnd Saul. This act not only proved
tho genuineness of the work nt An
tloch, but It emphasized tho fact that
thcro Is no division between Jow and
Gentile.
Christ's Blessing.
From neaven Christ sends down a
blessing. Ho communicates His na
ture to us, nnd so wo learn how wo
are to live, and how wo nro to let
Him live In us; nnd wo see somewhat
of what wo might bo If wo had faith,
und hope, and love, to benr the weight
of the glory. II. Monsell.

WHAT ST. PAUL REALLY SAID
Englishwoman Declares Men Have De
liberately Twisted the Words of
the Great Apostle.
Men translated the Bible nnd
twisted St. Paul's remarks about wom
en to suit their own Ideas. That Is
divulged by Miss K. Bulelgh to tho
British Women's Freedom league.
The apostle's remarks about women,
she said, were badly twisted In trans
lation, ami It could be proved hy thn
removal of a few dots and commas,
that St. I'aul dlil not : Forbid women
to preach; command them to obey
llielr husbands; Insist thnt forever and
nye, whutuvor the fu'Jilon of the coun
try, they should wear hats in church,
say that they should never wear Jewel
ry and line clothes.
"In tho sentence. 'Women obey

'obey' Is 'he considerate to."'
