Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood. BuMhe duty of the kidney9 is to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid solvents.'' You might go on till doomsday* with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Rupert B Calvo, bookbinder, employed at the State Publishing Co., official printers for the State of South Carolina, living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia. S C, says: 'j, thought I had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds of liniment. The pain was in my back and in my hips clear to the shoulders. The liniments did no good and I took blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a long trip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined to try them, and got a box at a dfug store.

Reaumur in his "L'Histoire des Insectes" says that Cardinal Fleury told him that he saw ants on one occasion build a bridge of earth across some bird lime which had been spread on a tree. On another occasion the cardinal saw these intelligent little architects build a floating bridge across a vessel of water surrounding the bottom of an orange tree tub. They used wood in the construction of this bridge, thus showing that they were aware of the nature of the material necessary to make their bridge a success and that they possessed no small engineering skill. Still more wonderful is the account by Dr. Ellendorf, who writes 4 ' * * ? ' -1 -M taat lie saw ants onage a saucer ui water vr'th a straw. He had placed the leg of a cupboard in saucers of water, hua for a few days preventing the Yavages of the ants. Finally, however, they again got access to the cupboard and were as bad as ever. On examination he found a straw in one of the saucers which lay obliquely across the edge of the vessel and touched the leg of the cupboard. The ants were using the straw as a bridge. "I now pushed the straw about an inch away from the cupboard leg," writes i)r. Ellendorf, "and immediately a terrible confusion arose. In a moment the leg immediately over the water was covered with hundreds of ants, feeling for the bridge in every direction with the antennae, running back again and coming in ever larger swarms, as though they had communicated to their comrades within the cupboard the fearful misfortune that had taken place. "Meanwhile the newcomers continued to run along the straw, and, not finding the leg of the cupboard, the greatest perplexity arose. They hurried around the edge of the saucer and soon found out where the fault lay. With upited forces they quickly pulled and pushed at the straw until it again came into contact with the leg of the cupboard, and the communication was then restored." In a Hurry, but Could Wait. "Let me see some hosiery in a hurry, please," said an important appearing person as he rushed into a gentleman's clothing store the other day. "What kind, please ?" queried the clerk politely. "Oh, anything about half a dollar," replied the fellow, "only hurry, will you ? I've onl* got a second to get a train." The hosiery was forthcoming in quick season, and the buyer was told he owed the firm 41) cents for the same. "I haven't got the change," he said. "Here's half a dollar." 'PUa.

It has been proved that a glacier moves very much like a river, the middle and upper parts faster than the sides and the bottom, the sides and bottom being retarded by friction. The movement of a glacier is quite similar to that of a mass of thick mortar or a quantity of pitch flowing down an inclined trough. Like the piece of shoemaker's wax, which, like ice, is extremely brittle, the glacier, subjected to experiment, reveals considerable plasticity and is much more like a viscous liquid than it was once supposed to be. Th?r* Is an Ordsr Highsr Still. You are set in an age when the material civilization of the world has been piled up to a gigantic height, to testify that there is an order higher still; that as the soul is more than the body and eternity than time, so the moral order is above the material; that justice is above power; that justice may suffer long, but must reign at last; that the power is not Mgnt; that no wrongs can be sanctified by success, x.vi. i g nor can tne immuiame mws u? n^ut and wrong be confounded.?Cardinal Manning.
