What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumausm, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing W, or bad effects following use of Uquor, wh»e or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity cf being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-ftoot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. M you need a medicine you should have the besrt.

A BASKET OF JA3 HANDLES. Their Connection With a Balfiir.g Passage of the Bible. In ;t juoiin . in I’.i’estiuo idi .Hided :i the siic ol Kit* i.iHu-nl city of Cc \\;.s found i large namber of j:.r ban dies. Knougli to make a hasUetlY.! v. .ov collected by liie excavator . Each bore a potter’s mark- the name nj its maker -*ivith a legend. A basket of jar ban dies might: bo expected to have some interest for the philologist, says Mr. Maealistcr. the author of “A Record of Excavation and Discovery lu Pal estine,” but could hardly be expected to bo of historical value, let this col lection of sherds enabled its finders to revise and make plain a batlling pas sage in the Bible and to establish a connected story through several other isolated passages. The obscure passage is in 1 Chroni cles. fourth chapter, sixteenth to twen ty-third verses. A list of names, so dis arranged as not to appear a true gen ealogy, laid been widely uc(*epted as a mythical account of the descent of tribes. “These were the potters and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah. There they dwelt with the king for his work.” is the end of the passage. Kaeli of the jar handles dug from the ruins of tie/.er bears the inscription "For the King,” and (lie names of the makers an* the names of those in the Ptible verses, except where a copyist has made an error, which frequently occurred. Re iscd by the new knowl edge, the passage becomes a complete genealogy ol tit* family of the potters and makes plain the story of their wanderings. On each handle also is a scarab, or beetle, which explains the reference to a “(laughter of Pharaoh,” an allusion to the fact that the potters followed the religion of Egypt. It becomes evident, therefore, that here is the story of the Meuuboth, the descendants of Menahem, and eveutu ally of Caleb, son of Jephunneh. They long inhabited a region south of He bron and followed many crafts, but principally that of pottery making. This, in the reign of Joash, brought them to the notice of the king of Judah, aud royal patronage followed, possibly in connection with the restoration of the temple, in the days of Uzziuh one of the family, Shebauiah, son of Lzrah. rose to be steward of the royal estates at Carmel. The family “trademark” at this time was the scarab, but under the right eous king'- Amaziab, Jot hum and Uz- ziah this was suppressed. In the days of Ilezekiah a raid of the wild semibarbarous tribe of Simoon was made into their territory, and they were forced to seek another home in the south of Moub or the north of Edom, and, driving out the Amale- kites, they settled there aud lived in semi-independence. After the it turn from the captivity they settled in Bethlehem and, under the name of I’ahath-Moab, assumed a position of considerable importance un der Ezra and Nehemiah. All this story is in the Bible and most of it iu the books of Chronicles, out in isolated fragments to which the jar handle : gave the connection. Rut their whole significance Is greater than that, for they indicate that the chap ters of < Im.nicies contain simply what they appear to contain, the real gene alogies of real men. and in them one need seek no mythical or symbolical meaning. A Wing Shot. There had been many speakers, the hour waxed late, people were tired, and the diners were one by one quietly pushing back their chairs and leaving the hall when Mr. Elder was called upon to respond to a toast lie rose and, looking around the large hall, re marked that the present circumstances reminded him of the story told of a Methodist minister. The reverend gen tleman was officiating in a strange par ish, and when he rose to deliver his sermon the congregation began steal ing out one by one. Stopping iu bis delivery of his text, he remarked quiet ly: “Well, I have all my life beeu a traveliug clergyman, hut never before have I preached to a traveling congre gation!” Mr, Elder’s palpable “hit” brought down the heuse, and the migration ceased until the close of his brilliant remarks.—Boston Herald.

Professor von Borgmanu, the great German surgeon who attended the Em peror Frederick during his last illness and had such a frightful quarrel with Moroll Mackenzie, has beeu telling the editor of i medical journal that “I am decidedly against women entering the professions.” Briefly put, his reason is that “so long as women are unable to beat cooks and tailors at the voca tions which women are apt to regard as their own specialties, so long will they be unable to compete successfully with men doctors. I have too high a regard for women to encourage them to become doctors.”- London Chronicle. Fate of a Great Painting.
