Stone in the*Kidney.
I was iirst taken with sharp palm In the lower part of my bowe.s in the region of the bladder. Shortly blood appeared mixed with my urine, and a few weeks later I had an attack of the gravel. I tried a number of doctors. One said it was gravel, another
INFLAMATION OF THE BLADDER, and another stone in Kidneys. For three months 1 was under the care of an eminent doctor at Albany, but constantly growing worse, went-home to die. At this time I was induced to try Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondont, N. Y., and am now robust and strong. A remedy which can do tills for one so near death as 1 was should be known everywhere. I hope this statement will cause others afflicted as I was to use the remedy.—C. W. Brown, Petersburg, N. Y.

New Hospital 3Ietliod.
What are they? There Is anew departureiu the treatment of dlsea.se, the oollnotiou of tho specifics used by uotall specialists of Europe and Amorlca, and brindiug them within tho reach of all. For instance the treatment pursuod by special physicians who treat Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, wasobtuined and prepared. The treatmentot'otlier physicians, celebrated for curingcatarrh, was procured, and so on till these incomparable cures now include disease of tho lungs, kidneys, female weakuess, rheumatism and nervous debility.
This now method of "one remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the III effects and thoroughly realize the absurlty of the claims of Patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every 111 out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, HAS HUINE.D MOUE STOMACHS THAN ALCOHOL. A circular describing' these new remedies is sent free on receipt or stamp to pay postage by Hospital Kemody Company, ioronto, Canada, sole proprietors.

XXXIX—RECREATION IN AMERICA.
The Hotel tho American Mecca—Backing Cliulrs—More Duchesses.
Hotels aro one of tho strongest attractions in America to Americans, especially the ladies.
When wo Europeans travel, wo alight at a hotel, because it is impossible that we should have a pitching place of our own in each town we visit, or friends able to receive us: in other words, we go to tho hotel, becauso we cannot help it.
In America people travel hundreds, nay thousands, of miles for the pleasure of putting up at certain hotels. Hotels aro for theimvhat cathedrals, monuments and the beauties of nature are for us.
Jacksonville and St. Augustine are in winter what Saratoga, Newport and Long Branch aro in summer: the rendezvous of all who have any pretensions to a place in the fashionable world.
But what do they do at Jacksonville and St. Augustine? You think perhaps that in the morning they sot out in great numbers to make long excursions into tho country or on the water that picnics, riding parties and such out of door pastimes are organized.
Not so. They get up, reab:fast, and make for the balconies or piazzr of the hotels, there to rock themselves two or three hours in rocking chairs until lunch time: after this, they return to thein rocking chairs again and wait for dinner. Dinner over, they go to the drawing room, where there are more rocking chairs, and chat or listen to _n orchestra until bed time.
And the table d'hote! In France, wo look well at the bill and study it we discuss tlie dishes, arranging them discreetly and artistically in the mind beforo making their acquaintance more fully on the palate. We sure •gourmets. In America, the question seems to be not "Which of these dishes will go well together?" but, "How many of them can I manage?" It is so much a day the moderate eaters pay for the gluttons.
You seo women come down at 8 to breakfast in silk attire, and decked in diamonds. And what a breakfast! First an orange and a banana to freshen the mouth and whet the appet'' lien fish, bacon and eggs, or omelette, beef steak or chop with fried potatoes, hominy cakes and preserves. "IIow little you eat, you French people!" said an American to mo one day, as I was ordering my breakfast of cafe au lait and bread and butter. '•You are mistaken," I 6aid, "only we do not care for our dinner at S o'clock in the morning."
The larger the hotel is the better the Americans like it. A little, quiet, well kept hotel, where you oxa kaowu and called by your name, wliere you are not simply No. 578, like a convict, does not attract the American. He must have something large, enormous, immense. The Ponce de Leon hotel at St. Augustine is not only the largest and handsomest hotel in America, but in the whole world. Standing in the prettiest part of the picturesque little town, this Moorish palace is a revelation, a scene from the "Arabian Nights."
Here the Americans congregate in search of a "good time," as they call it. The charges range from $10 to §25 a day for each person, exclusive of wines and extras. The American who goes to the Ponce de Leon with his wife and daughters, therefore, spends from $100 to $200 a day. For this sum he and his family are fed, played to by a very ordinary band and supplied with an immense choice of rocking chairs.
You must be able to say, when you return to the north, that you have been at the Ponce de Leon. This is now it can be managed. You go to some other hotel near tlie Ponco. hi the evening, dressed in all your diamonds, you glide into tho court yard of tho great caravanserv. Another step takes you to the immense rotunda where the concert is going on. You stroll through the saloons and corridors, and. taking a seat where you can be seen of the multitude, ycu listen to the music. About 10 or 11 o'clock you beat a retreat and return to your own hotel.
With few exceptions, the waiters in all the great hotels are negroes. You are served slowly, but with intelligence and politeness. No "duchesses" in the great cities of the north or tlie fashionable resorts of the south.
Those good negroes have such cheerful, open faces! At tho Everett hotel, Jacksonville, I one day went to the wrong table. "You've come to de wrong table, sah," said the attendant darky. Then, indicating the negro who served at the next table, he added: "Dat's de gentleman dat waits on you, sah."
I never met with such memories as some of those darkeys have. At dinner time you may see from COO to 1,000 people at table. The black head waiter knows eaclr of the guests. The second time they enter tlie dining room ho conducts them to their places without making a mistake in one instance.
At the door of tho dining room a young negro of 16 or 18 takes your liat and puts it on a hat rack. I have 6een hundreds thus in his caro at a time. You leave the dining room and, without a moment's hesitation, he singles out your hat and hands it to you. It is wonderful when one thinks of it.
Another negro in the hall goes and gets your key, when ho sees you return from a walk. No need to tell him the number of your room, ho knows it. He may have seen you but once before, but that is all sufficient, he never errs.
Negresses not employed as cliambermaids in hotels. Unhappily for you, it is the objectionable "ducness" that, you find again, up stairs this time.
remember having one day msu IbCU one of these women—certainly unintentionally, but the crime was none the less abominable for that. I was dressing to go out to dinner and wanted son' hot water to shave with. Having rung hreo times and received no answer, I grew impatient and opened tho door in the liopo of seeing some servant who would be obliging enough to fetch me tho water in question. A chambermaid was passing my door. "Could you please get mo somo hot water?" I said. "What do you say?" was the reply, accompanied by a frown and a look of contempt. "Would you be so good as to get me some hot water?" I timidly repeated. "What do you think I am? Haven't vou a bell
vi
your room?" said the
harpy. I withdrew into my room in fear and trembling and shaved with cold water that day.
XL—VALUE OF THS DOLLAR
What American Women Must Spend on Dress—Current I'rices—Tho Beggar and tho Nickel.
If you go to a changer, ho will give you five francs in French money, or four shillings in English, for a dollar. But in America, you are not long in discovering that you get for you*- dollar but the worth of a shilling in English money, or a franc in French.
The flat that lets for 4,000 francs in Paris, and the house that is rented at £200, or 4,000 shillings, in London, would be charged $4,000 in New York, Boston or Chicago.
The simplest kind of dress, one for which a Parisian of modest tastes pays 100 francs, would cost an American lady at least $100. A visiting dress costing 500 francs in Paris would cost $500 in New York. A bonnet that would be charged 50 francs is worth $50. Tho rest to match.
Here is a dressmaker's bill, which fell under my eyes in New York: Kobe de charabte $209
Cloth dress 175' Opera cloak 600 Riding habit iuo Bonnet 80 Theater bonnet so Black etlfc dress 240 Ball dress oso
... Tot! J... $2,025
In this bill, theiv .s neither mantle, linen, boots, shoe3, gloves, lace, nor the thousand little requisites of a woman's toilet, and it is but one out of the three or four bills for the year. I am convinced that an American woman who pretends to the least elegance, must spend, if she bo a good manager, from six to eight thousand dollars a year. Add to this tho fact that she loads herself with diamonds and precious stones.
A great number of Americans come to Europe to pass three months of every year. This is not an additional extravagance, it is an economy. They buy their dress for a year, and tlie money they save by this plan not only pays their traveling expenses, but leaves them a nice little surplus in cash.
Copper money exists in America, but if you were to offer a cent to a beggar ho would fling it at vou in disgust. When the barefooted urchins in the south beg their formula is: "Sparo us a nickel," or "Chuck us a nickel, guv'nor." Tho nickel is worth five cents The onlv use of tlie cent that I could discover was to buy the evening paper.
If expenses are enormous in the United States I must hasten to add that it is chiefly the foreign visitor who suffers in purse. The American can afford to pay high prices, because his receipts are far larger than they would bo in Europe. Situations bringing in three or four hundred dollars, as in France, in England, aro unknown in America. Iiavik clerks and shop assistants command salaries of a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars a year. A railway car conductor gets $50 a month.
In the grades above, in the professions, the fees, compared with those earned in Europe, are also in the proportion of the dollar to the shilling or franc. A newspaper article, for which would be paid in France from 100 to 250 francs (and no French paper, except Tlie Figaro, pays so much for articles) is paid for in America from §100 to §250. A doctor is paid from §5 to §10 a visit. I am, of course, not speaking of specialists and fashionable doctors: thoir charges are fabulous. I know barristers who make over 8100,000 a year.
Every one is well paid in the United States, except the vice prdsident. If I have spoken of tho high cost of living, it is to state a fact, and not to make a complaint. I went to America as a lecturer, not as a tourist. Jonathan paid me well, and when .Cabby asked mo for a dollar and a liajf to take me to a lecture hall, I said, like M. Joseph Prudhomme: "It is expensive, but I can afford it," and I paid without grumbling.

XLI—CONCLUSION.
"Well, sir, and what do you think of A mnrirnV" When one thinks of what tho Americans have done in a hundred years of independent life, it looks as if nothing ought to bo impossible to them in the futuro, considering tho inexhaustible resources at their disposition.
While tho Hohenzollerns, tho Hapsburgs and tho Firebrandenburgs review their troops whilo her standing armies are costing Europo moro than §1,000,000,000 a year, in time of peace whilo the European debt is moro than §25,000,000,000, the American treasury at Washington, in spito of corruption, which it is well known does exist, has a surplus of §60,000,000. Whilo European governments cudgel their wits to doviso means for meeting tho expenses of absoluto monarchies, tho Washington government is at a loss to know what to do with the money it has in hand. Wliilo tho European telegrams in tho daily papers give accounts of reviews, mobilizations and military maneuvers, of speeches in which the people are reminded that their duty is to serve their emperor first and their country afterwards, of blasphemous pray
3
in which God is asked to bless
soldiers, swords and gunpowder, tho American telegrams announce tho price of corn and cattle, and tho quotations on the American Stock Exchange.
Happy country that can get into a state of ebullition over a presidential election or tho doings of John L. Sullivan, while Europe in trembling asks herself, with tho return of each now Bpring, whether two or three millions of her sons will not bo called upon to cut each other's throats for tho great glory of three emperors in search of exciteraentl
America is not only a great nation, geographically speaking. Tho Americans aro a great people, holding in their hands their own destiny, learning day by day, with tho help of their liberty, to govern themselves moro and more wisely, and able, thanks to tho profound security in which they live, to consecrate all their talents and all their energy to tho arts of peaco.
Tho well read, well bred American is the most delightful of men good society in America is tho wittiest, most genial and most hospitable I have met with.
But tho moro I travel and tho more I look at other nations, the moro confirmed I am in my opinion, that tho French aro tho happiest peoplo on earth.
Tho American is certainly
011
the road
to the possession of all that can contribute to tho weli being and success of a nation, but I10 seems to me to have missed the path that leads to real happiness. His domestic joys are more slnulowy than real. To live in a whirl is not to live well.
Jonathan Ijmself sometimes lias his regrets at finding himself drawn into such a frantic raco, but declares that it is out of his power to hang back. If it were given to men to live twice on tliis planet, I should understand his living his first term a l'Americaine, so as to loo able to enjoy quietly, in his second existence. the fruits of his toil in tho first. Seeing that only one sojourn here is permitted us, I think the French aro right in their study to make it a long and happy one.
If the French could arrive at a steady form of government and live insecurity, they would be tho most enviably happy people on earth.
It is often charged against tho Americans that they are given to bragging. May not men who have done marvels bo permitted a certain amount of self glorification?
It is said, too, that their occentricitv constantly leads them into folly and license. Is it not better to have the liberty to err than to bo* compelled to run straight in leash? If they occasionally vote like children, they will learn witt age. It is by voting that people learn to vote.
Is there any country in Europo in which morals are better regulated, work better paid or education wider spread? Is there a country in Europe where you can find such natural riches and such energy to turn them to account so many peoplo with a consciousness of their own intellectual and moral force so
many
schools, whero the child of the millionaire and tho child of tho poor man study side by side so many libraries, where the boy in rugs may read the history of his country and bo fired by tho exploits of its heroes? Can you name a country with so many learned societies, so many newspapers, so many charitable institutions, or so much widespread comfort?
M. Renan, wishing to turn himself into a prophet of ill omen, one day predicted that if France continued republican afry would become a second America.
May nothing worse befall her!
