>ver-Work weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy KUneys Make Impure Blood. All the b’ood in your body passes through your kidn '.ys or.ce every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out / of order, they fail to do \ their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney U\.i;ble. Kidney ♦rouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. 1; used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but row modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraorainary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on Its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz es.

No 4 one moment of her wakii hours is that clacking tongue sii... It is certain that she talks to herself] when she is alone, for she has been overheard many a time. It is also probable that she talks in her sleep. Well, this lady went for a day’s jour ney with another woman. When she returned she assured her family she had had “not a bit good time’’ because the other woman had talked her nearly to death. She did uot get a chance to put a word in edgeways, she said, and she was just worn out with that in cessant gab. Whereupon the family smiled, and one niece slid off by tier- self in a corner and roared. “The idea of anything but a phonograph being able to talk Amt Harriet down!” said she. Atid. spet.tiAg of incessant gab blers. did it ever occur to you that many persons employ quite four times as much talk ns is really required to express themselves and to impress themselves on others? The great talker is Invariably a shallow, flighty person. Her memory' is poor. She forgets what she ought to remember, she get* tan gled If* her statements, and no wonder. She does not still her tongue long enough to digest any thought In her mind or to wholly take in any fact. Wherever she sees two or more people together, or liears others talking, up she comes, pushes herself in and shoots off her opinions, right or wrong. The si lent person is the one that wins. She conserves her thought and manifests a fine, dignified reserve concerning the private affairs of herself and others She does not waste her nerve sub stance In vocal froth. When she does ipen her mouth to speak, two words of hors are more effective than half a lay’s gabble of the talking woman. •t * Women are in general far too bidda ble. Let each develop for herself thinking power and will and be an in dividual. I sometimes doubt whether a woman who never thinks, reasons or wills for herself, but is the mere echo of others, has any immortal soul. * * Professor Margaret E. Maltby Is so learned that she is professor of physics in Columbia university. New York. Yet women students are not allowed in her classes; only men. The girl students must stick to the instructors appointed for them in Barnard college, the wom en’s annex of the university. The su perstitions of the sex question cause mankind to cut strange caper*. * * A lady I know 1ms started a club of one. It is the Speak No Evil club; its object, to say no word condemnatory of any human being. When she says any thing at all of an acquaintance it Is something favorable. She looks for the good in everybody and always finds It, on the principle that we find what we look for. You have no idea how popular this woman Is. It M It is selfish to dress always In for lorn, terrible black. Those who do It forget about Its depressing effect on the nerves and spirits of otlffers, es pecially those who live in the same house with them. Even In mourning apparel it is possible to lighten up the melancholy, dreary effect by touches of white here and there. Dead black garments constantly worn Inevitably lower both the mental and physical tone not only of the wearers them selves, but of those who dally see them. They may not know It, but the fact la undeniable. There is enough of gloom In this life that we cannot get away from without gratuitously adding to It Bt M Sometimes a woman has a little bit of an Income, enough to half feed and clothe hersdlf on. All over this land, even in Alaska and in Canada, are openings for such women to earn a generous living and something more. They are in the country, and they are to be found in the vast undeveloped industrial fields of farming, fruit and flower culture, bee keeping, chicken raising and dairying. Too much can hardly be said In this direction. The population of the Union Is Increasing so fast that home production will soon be unable to keep up with home consump- tion. There are country towns where -ggs are 30 cents a dozen this minute, ind the supply is short. it Bt The present Is a time of outrageous overdressing among women. Never since the American nation began have Its women been so extravagant in their costuming. It is mostly the tradespeo ple and the men dressmakers who have forced this era of extravagance. There will have to come a reaction from it back to the simplicity of good taste, it Bt * It is said that a French architect has devised a revolving house, one that may be swung around like a railway engine upon its lumtable. The house Is made to follow the sun, which thus shines in every room In the mansion in succession every day. That’s the kind of bouse I want. •t * London fashionable society has the reputation of having in Its ranks one lady, the Countess of Shaftesbury, who Is absolutely truthful. She is so sin cere she will not even tell white lies. The countess visited America during the past summer. Telling the exact truth seems to be something so rare that her habit of sincerity baa made countess celebrated. BUZ A ARCHARD CONNER. GIRL SLAVES IN ALASKA. Prini-lpnl of 'ferrllorlal ScIiooIm Telia ok Traffic. Slavery still er.l.sts under the Ameri can flag, according to a communication made to the interior department at Washington by William A. Davis, prin cipal jf the United States public schools at Unalaska, Alaska, says the ” v V. k Times. He charges that in : t i nk y little Aleutian girls are sold to wmi to do families as slaves. They are used as household drudges and are not educated nor permitted to associate with free children. “While canvassing this village for scholars a few days since.” says Mr. Davis, “1 found a number of families holding Aleut children as slaves. In quiry developed the fact that it has been the custom from time immemo rial to make slaves of poor children, especially girls, and that the custom still prevails not only here, but in other portions of the country. “A German, whose wife is a Rus sian creole, has a slave girl nine years old; a Russian creole, whose wife is a native, has a slave girl fourteen years old; a Scotchman, whose wife is a na tive, lias two little slave girls about seven and eight years old respectively; a Russian priest has a slave girl twelve or thirteen years old, and others whose names I did not learn also have slaves. “They are made to do all the drudg ery and dirty work of the families, are not allowed to attend school or associ ate with free children, are poorly cloth ed and fed and are treated generally as slaves. “I am much distressed over the con dition of these silent, uncomplaining little ones.” says Mr. Davis, “so help less, sad and hungry looking, and I have been thinking that if the facts were known maybe article 13 of the amendments to the constitution of the United States could be made to reach them and save them from lives of shame and degradation.” ALL HAIL THE COW. Eloquent Trlbntea to Great Foster Mother of the Homan Race. The cow was the subject of enthusi asm at the New York state dairymen’s convention held in Ogdensburg. In hia address of welcome Mayor Hall declar ed that butter and cheese are the con trolling powers of the universe. All the speakers following Mr. Hall paid trib ute to the dairy, and ex-Governor W. D. Hoard of Wisconsin wound up the day’s programme with an apotheosis of the cow. Said he: “To preach the gospel ac cording to the cow is no small matter. Every man must be educated to under stand so far as he can the great pro ducer of the country’, the cow, than which there is no deeper constructive mystery. The cow is the great foster mother of half the human race, and she should be approached reverently, lovingly, with a tender heart and a sympathetic mind.” He spoke eloquently on the maternity of the cow and compared her to the human mother. He begged his audi tors to have greater respect for the cow and to give her more careful treatment, placing on one plane manhood, woman hood, cow hood. AID FROM ROCKEFELLER. Oil Kina Paid Off Mortiraire on Farm of Boyhood Playmate. John D. Rockefeller has paid off the mortgage on the little Nebraska farm of Charles Austin, a boyhood friend, vdbom he has not seen for many years, says a Sioux City (la.) dispatch. Mr. Austin lives near Dakota City on a little place on which was a mort gage of several hundred dollars. The fruit crop by which he lived has been a failure for two years, and he was in hard straits. As a boy he was a play mate of Rockefeller, but as young men they drifted apart, and when Austin learned of tha financial standing of his old friend he wrote him a letter of congratulation. Since then they have exchanged one or two letters annually. Several years ago Mr. Rockefeller’s friendship was the means of giving po sitions to Austin’s two sons In the Standard Oil employ at Sioux City. This year Mr. Rockefeller, learning of Austin’s misfortunes, paid the mort gage. Mr. Austin says he knew noth ing of it till notified by the recorder’s office that It hud been paid. Novel Jangle Fnahlon. According to the Electrical World, telegraph wire belts have recently been added to the costume of fashionable east African belles. The telegraph au thorities discovered the new fashion. They found great difficulty In main taining lines through the forests. One of their society reporters, technically known as a lineman, while “covering” a native lawn fete in the jungle noted the new fashion and upon questioning some of the social leaders was inform ed that it was the custom for the young men to present their partners with these belts as trophies. Now the com pany has made the tribal chiefs re sponsible for the telegraph lines in their territory, and the young chiefs have to buy the belts at so much per pound. Wllder’a Dynamic Joke. It recently happened that Marshall P. Wilder was in the company of u number of men who were discussing the wonders of invention and of dis covery during the Iasi hundred years.

RYDALE’S TONIC Tax Returns for 1901 A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
