i-oiiUiined the correct combination of
herbs which was hiire to control that

The Vegetable Compound acts in har

are many so called remedies for kidney

symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, learing down pains,

Use of Arbalest Once Forbidden.
During the twelfth century the
early arbalest or cross-bow, was con
sidered such a deadly weapon when

that its employment in war was for
bidden among Christjan nations, and
it was not until the fourteenth cen
tury that it came into general use.
Wrong-Foot- Foremost.
"I got out of bed this morning

this, and believe it well nigh as liter
ally as if. in thus doing it. either of
the two had stepped on a tack point
up and head down and so gone
limping ever since, net to speak of
dire apprehensions of lockjaw.

Thursday; the Turks, Friday: the

A few years back the low. wet ianda

sands of dollars annually for the
pianters of celery, were deemed ut
terly worthless and could 'have been

would have paid $." an acre for it,
while at the present time the im

Union. Seriousness of Bridge Whist.
The uoor stood open as I passed
and therein I beheld silent groups of
women sitting around tables, their
hands before their faces, their eyes
rivited upon a sheaf of cards which
they seemed about to devour. "What
is this?" I asked. "Why this appalling
silence and intense demeanor?" "Oh,
that is a bridge whist club." was the
response. "It's a matter of life or
deith with all the players." Ex

Every man who tries to jump Im
mediately into the flowery time of
success will find himself truly in the
air. and will sooner or later suffer col
lapse. He must begin at the bottom
and grow naturally, putting out stem
and leaf, and branch as conditions
warrant. Thus only can the plant be
hardy and in time put forth real blos
soms of success, fed and nourished
by the sap of soundness and healthy
vitality.

Adulteration cr Coffee.
A German review contains an ar
ticle by Bertarelli on a new adultera
tiom of coffee. The roasted beans are
plunged in a Ave per cent" solution of
borax and then left to dry. The borax
makes them shine and absorb? water,
thus adding to the weight of the cof
fee. The way to discover this ingeni
ous fraud is to dry the coffee and if
it loses over 4 per cent in weight
there has been a fraudulent absorp
tion of water. London Globe.

Words Which France Likes.
The number of English words ab
sorbed into the French language dur
ing recent years without any employ
ment of italic type or quotation
marks, is considerable. In a rapid
"skimming of one number of a Paris
daily paper, an editor came across
the words "interview." "meeting."
"dockers." "steeplechase." "handi
cap," "editorial." "wagon," "clown,"
and "tramway."
Worth Rememberinrj.
It made the air shine alter the
sound had died away, and yet it was
just the remark of a young man who
walked past me one day arm-in-arm
with a companion: "Depend upon it,
Tom. St. Edmund of Canterbury was
riuht when he said to somebody.
'Work as though ycu would live for
ever; live as though you would die
today.' " Exchange.
Close Prisoner for 21 Years.
Twenty-one years ago a peasant in
the village of Jaennersdorf. near Ost
priegnitz, placed his son in a small
building, and, after walling him in.
kept him there. Food was handed in
through a small opening not many
inches in diameter, which was the
only channel for light and air within.
The peasant is now aged 90, his wife
86 and the son 46.
Where a Lady Tells Her Age.
When ladies go to buy a dress in
Japan they tell the shopkeeper their
age. and whether they are married,
because there are special designs for
the single and double relations of life,
as well as for ages. The consequence
of this custom is that you can tell the
age of every lady you meet, and
know whether she is married, precise
ly as though she were labeled.
Dealing with Burning Oil.
To extinguish burning oil do not
throw water on the flames, for it will
only spread them by causing, the oil
to float. Tho right plan is to throw
on flour, earth or sand. Any of these
things will soak up the oil generally
paraffin from an overturned lami
and quickly extinguish the fire.
Promptly Fixing the Blame.
Miss Three-Year-Old was obliged to
remain indoors because of a severe
cold. Looking out of the window, she
saw her favorite boy playmate with
another little girl. They were having
a fine time in the snow. Turning to
her mother, the cobped-i:p exclaimed:
"I never did like that girl."
To Truly Live.
Life "is what we are alive to. It is
not length, but breadth. To bo alive
only to appetite, plsasure. pride, raon-ey-maKing,
and not to goodness and
kindness, purity and love history,
poetry and music, flowers', stars. God
and eternal hopes, is to be all but
dead. Maltbie D. Bahcock.
Iceland seems to be hardly as des
titute of trees as some suppose, an
old idea being that it possesses only
a single tree. An investigation shows
that the island really contains woods
having various trees of considerable
size, and that the climate is not un
favorable to tree growth.

One reason why Perana has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be
used any length of time without acquir
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro
duce temporary results. It is perman
ent in its effect.
