If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh* or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the ' passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first Step should be towards the treatment of ;?Mwtaw?ftfgans. This nnnleasant trouble uTdue to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

[Copyright, lf-06. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.] WHEN the regular routine of business had been concluded the other evening at the Limekiln club, Brother Gardner rose and said that a colored stranger named the Hon. Moses Blossom was in the anteroom and would deliver an oration. The>str&nger was from Alabama, and nothing was known of him, but as he evidenced a disposition to borrow money and become very intimate it would be well to have his oration over with and send him along to Buffalo. The oration was entitled "What's de Use7" and. According to the Hon. Blossom, had been delivered 2.800 times in dif. ferent parts of the country with great effect. There would be no charge, but "mAatlnnr K/i APfltAI> trnnlH ho BllCI I Jul *7 UJCCIiUg IUV VIUVVl ?f VU?W wv ready to sell a com salve and an invention to prevent ingrowing toe nails at special prices for the occasion.

The Hon. Blossom appeared to be a man of forty. His left shoulder lopped, i and he limped in his right leg. His ; was not a smiling, cheerful countenance. but it wore a look of determination, as if he would sit clovvu before a good dinner and stay there until the last crumb was devoured. He exhibited no embarrassment and was ; cheered as he took the platform and began: "My fren's, I has arrove yere, same as I has arrove at hundreds of other places, to find men and women strlvin* fer place and power, fer riches and happiness, fer de head ob de percession and de big end ob de cake. "Dat's only human natur\ encouraged by ebery book we read and ebery paper we pick up. At de present date dar am a millyfln pussons in dis world encouragin' de rest ob us to climb up.

You want lobster. Sich ob you as have patent leather shoes am sighin' fer gold headed canes to match.

He got it into his haid dat he wanted to climb up, and nobody could hold him. He dumb and dumb and clurnb. He got to do worry top. He got to whar he couid look up and see no one on de limb above him. He got fame, but he didn't have time to eat his meals. lie got glory, but he made enemies ebery hour. He won victories, but be come home to find dat de hawgs had broke into his garden and rooted eberything up. He reached de top only to die, and his breath had only passed away when de newspapers was say in' mean things about him. "Napoleon was de man of all de ? world fur a quarter ob a century. From.libbin* in a garret he come to lib in a palace. From belli' a nobody be come to be ruler ob de world. Dat man could go out and lick a kentry and annex It as easy as you or me could go out and saw balf a cord of wood. But what did It all amount to hi de end? What was de use? Dar come a day when he was pulled off de perch and iibed and died an exile. "I was talkin' wid Giveadam Jones ob dis club last night. ,He works in a wood yard at $2 a day. He has got a cuckoo clock and a red sofa in his house. He owns a winter obercoat wid a velvet collar to it. He kin put up a dollar on a boss race any day in de week. If kerosene goes up a cent a gallon, he don't cuss. If bacon draps a cent a pound, he don't chuckle ober it. He has got a name dat compels respect. Wbeu he starts for home at night, ebon de police git out of his road. His wife gibs a high tea one week and' a low coffee de next, and she kin hab two pairs ob two dollar shoes a year. Kin you draw me a picture ob contentment and prosperity to beat dat? "And yet what does Giveadam Jones want? He wants to change his front name to Claude; he wants to find suuthinV to take de kink out ob his lia'r and pass for a Cuban; he wants a diamond pin and a plug hat; he wants to be de mayor ob dis city and gradually climb up to de presidency; he wants to be known as de 'if ob de United States. He would leabe all contentment behind mm iur a lew years ou greuiut-ss. Tbink ob it! Think ob swappin' such a name as Giveadam fur dat of Claude! Why, such a thing would make de very planets halt in deir course! "My fren's, I ask you again, what's ' de use? It's a question I hab asked ten thousand times and shall keep on askin'. Nobody is brung into dis world wid any particular objec' in view. If he draps into a good place, what's de use ob kickln' and wlshln' it was a better one? We am bo'n and lib our time and den pass away. What's de ufce ob wastin' half a lifetime in a struggle dat don't amount to shuck6 if you win? Hain't it better to be content wid what you've got and sot down and enjoy it to de utmost? When you've got a cuckoo clock, you've got to have a red sofa to match. When you've got de red sofa, you've got to begin to look out fer moths, and so it goes right along up to de top. Think ob dese things. Turn 'em ober In your minds. Don't let a day go past widout askln' yourself, 'What's-de use?' " "I didn't arrove yere to take up your valuable time.

Kitty, observing the sign, large and gilded, Says with the smile which my confidence wins, "Dearest, I must have a paper of pins." "When could a husband refuse a request Modest as that? So I quickly suggest Yonder department store, filled to satiety Doubtless with pins of stupendous variety. In, then, we go through the ominous doors. "Pins!" murmurs Kate to the walker of floors. "Pins!" he replies, with professional suavity. Giving the word due Importance and gravity. "Keep right ahead twenty aisles to your right, ma'am.

"Shirt waists come handy," she says, "and?oh, see! Wouldn't that collar look lovely on me!" All things look lovely on Kate, I suggest; Still, if the style seems in any way best?
