HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a liotile or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-fom hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhea thy condition of the kidneys When urine stains linen it is e'idence of kidney trouble Too frequent desm to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO 80. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. Ii stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. It you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

D . the venerable Princeton professor whose withdrawal from tbe Presbyterian church because be was censured for signing the petition asking a renewal of tbp liquor license for tbe famous Princeton iun has caused so much of a flutter in religious circles, has been af 3 Tti 4 W 9 WW' REV. CHARLES WOODRUFF SHIELDS, D D. connected with that stronghold of Presbyterianism for nearly half a century During that time he has instructed thousands of theological students who are now filling pulpits in various parts of the Union Dr Shields was born in New Albany. Ind., in 1825. He was graduated from the College of New Jersey, as Princeton was then known, in 1844 and studied for three years in tbe Princeton seminary In 1850 he accepted a call to a Philadelphia church and remained there 15 years, when he returned to Princeton as tbe professor of the relations of the religions to science. He has taught theology at Princeton ever since, bis present title being that of professor of the harmony of science and revealed religion He is the author of a number of theological works, some of which are standards. Dr Shields is still connected with Princeton university, being sustained by President Patton and a majority of the faculty The Canadian Premier. Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian premier, who recently visited Washington with the object of negotiating a new commercial treaty which would allow freer trade relations between the United States and the Dominion, has SIR WILFRED LAURIER. been for years an enthusiastic supporter of a reciprocity policy and ovyes not a little of his political prominence and success to that course. Sir Wilfred is tbe first French-Cana-dian to occupy the post of premier. He was born in St Lin. Que., in 1841, and comes of an old French family He was educated as a lawyer and was admitted to the bar of lower Canada in 1865. Early in his career he identified himself with the Liberals and in 1871 was sent to the Quebec legislature from Drummond and Arthabaska Four years later he was elected to the Dominion house of commons from tbe same constituency. For awhile he attracted no attention, but during the Riel rebellion he startled the drowsy benches by making a ringing and eloquent speech on that outbreak That one speech gained him a reputation as an orator, and since then he has been in the front rank of his party He was made leader of the Liberals when Edward Blake resigned, appointed queen’s counsel in 1880 and last year was called to assume the premiership Aluminium Musical Instruments. Various musical instruments are made of aluminium, including mandolins, guitars, banjos and violins and drums. The advantages claimed are resistance to climatic influences and superiority of tone Some of the mandolins are made with the body, including the top, entirely of aluminium, others with the top of spruce, the neck of wood, and the other fittings of the usual kind. Such a mandolin is sold at from $25 to S2OO The prices of all aluminium mandolins range somewhat lower. Guitars with a spruce top and the back and sides of aluminium in a single piece are sold at from $25 to S2OO Banjos are made with aluminium rims, fitted with heads of tbe usual kind, and they are also made with aluminium heads. Such a banjo, with wire strings, could be played in the rain. The aluminium violin that is now upon the market is in its body all aluminium, while the neck and other fittings are of wood. All the aluminium instruments are handsome, and the aluminium violin, with its silver gray body, and finger board and tailpiece of ebony, is of great beauty. It is a costly instrument. The makers of the aluminium mandolins and guitars with spruce tops are now engaged upon a violin whose back and sideswill beef aluminium in a single piece, the top of the instrument to be of spruce. —New York

THE HOUSEHOLD. tome of the New and Artistic Draperies. The Empress Curtain How to Wash Windows-Mere Mention. The shops are overflowing with new creations of all kinds in way of draperies In The Decorator and Furnisher these new draperies are described and prices given toassist housewives in malting a judicious selection. The writer saysAmong the new draperies is the em press curtain, which is made in white or ivory bobbinet trimmed with a pretty lace edging and insertion to nmich. They are full 8 1 » yards long and of excellent width, valued at $1.75 a pair For pretty bedrooms there is tbe cherry curtain whose centers are in plain scrim de etamine and beautifully finished with linen laces as low as $2 a pair And this same curtain can be purchased with net centers and abundantly trimmed with good wide laces of values ranging trom $2 a pair and upward Following these are the tambour which for up stairs rooms are exceed ingly pretty and chic at a most reason able price Then another pretty affair is the swiss brussels. with a soutache es qErt iT nrmnirvFilFrnTuiTvFiy rail Mb! — — ■ 111 ... A FRENCH DRAPERY. feet, and which when well done brings out the design in a bold and striking way as a window’ dressing Os course, the Mane Antoinette, the renaissance with Louis XIV and XV assortments are shown without end And with the Louis XV. an imitation handmade lace is added, making tbe price $3 a pair. But with the better grade in lace draperies the new duchess bids fair to become a popular craze It is a curtain of fine cei.'ers with well equipped corners of real handmade lace of artistic borders. and vet can be obtained at the lowprice of $7.50 a pair—of course, the finer the ornamentation the higher the value The arabum curtain is now- in new patterns and comes from $8 to sls a pair, and well worth it The journal quoted in another connection illustrates a pleasing arrangement under the head of simple French draperies What to Do With an Old Fowl. Very often an elderly yet nice looking fowl may be bought very cheap, and. deftly prepared, is quite as good as the youngest chicken Truss the fowl carefully and place it in a pan with enough second stock or boiling water to cover It, bring this to the boil, then cover closely, draw it to the side of the stove and let it just simmer slowly for several hours, being careful it never boils again after the original boil up Now take it up. place the fowl in a deep dish, pour the gravy round it and leave it till next day it can then be cut into joints and served en fricassee' or baked as a pie with ham or bacon mushrooms, hard boiled eggs, etc Remember the second day s cooking shoulo be for just the tune you would give to a young raw fowl If this is carefully done, the fowl never being allowed to boil on tbe first day’s cooking, rhe result will be excellent, and hardly to bi distinguished from an average nice chicken. Washing Windows. A muslin bag filled with whiting and two large chamois skins are used by the professional workman who washes the windows of stores and public buildings First the glass is wiped with a dry cloth to free it from dust Then the whiting is dusted thickly over it. after that it is wiped off with one of the chamois skins, which is dampened, but not wet. and lastly the dry chamois skin is used for polishing A method pronounced as excellent in the Boston School Magazine is to take a sponge and dip it in alcohol, rub the glass over quickly with this, wipe with a news paper and polish with a chamois skin The wood alcohol is used instead of the pure alcohol, as it is cheaper and an swers tbe purpose as well It is poison and should be labeled A little turpentine dissolved in warm water is also excellent for washing windows, mirror* or glass globes. Mere Mention. Most of the upholstered furniture this season is m tones of dark red or dull browns, these tones being more accept able for rooms gay in wall coverings. The growing demand for solid silver forks and spoons is being met with attractive patterns at prices that favor the buyer Dainty furnishings for the writing desk come in burned and carved leather. Silver continues the popular metal for toilet articles of the making of which there is no end. Floral spoons enameled in natural colors are dainty and attractive. As a rule, the flower is represented in the bowl of the spoon and the stems and leaves on the handle.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR Farmer Hobbs was a voracious old American dodger. His great delight was to secure the attention of some one while he spun a yarn about the cuteness of his boy Zeke "Ah. ’ said old Hobbs one day as he had fairly fixed his auditor, “Zeke is the most remarkable boy 1 ever set eyes on! He is like bis old dad ; you can t no more sarcumvent him than you ken a woodchuck You recollect that choice apple tree that grew at the bottom of the hill near the stump fence? Waal. 1 tell you, 1 was mighty savin of them there apples 1 forbid Zeke techm em, as they brought a high price in the market and every one counted, but he would get em m spite of me It was his way, you know, and all possessed wouldn't stop him Cue day 1 caught the young scapegrace up in a tree stubin his sack with fruit, so I determined to punish him for it “ ’Ezekiel, my son. says L ’your father is calling you—come down!' “1 thought 1 d be sort of persuasive, so it would fetch him, but he smelt a rat and Gidn t budge an inch. “ ‘1 can t, dad, these pesky apples are in my way ” ‘Zeke. 1 continued sternly, for my dander began to rise, ‘come down—come down this nnnnit, or I’ll cut down the tree and let you tall “You see. my poor old limbs wouldn’t permit iny shiunin up the tree after tbe boy. so 1 had to take other means. " ‘Uh, no. y< u won t. dad I said Zeke. ‘Only think how you’d mourn if you couldii t sell the apples to stuff the old leather wallet that s locked in the bureau I "That was too much—to have my own boy to accuse me of parsimony Sc what does 1 do but get the ax and cut j iway at the bottom of the tree " ‘Zeke, 1 cried when the tree was about half cut. ‘will you come down now and save yourself?’ “ ‘Never mind. dad. said he. T ain’t spilin “It was no use; 1 couldn’t fetch him that way. so 1 chopped away at the tree till it began to sway and fell to the ground with acr — “What—and crushed your own boy?’ sjaculated his horrified listener "Not by a long chalk!’’ replied Hobbs, winking knowingly "You couldn't come it over Zeke so He crawled out on a hmb and while 1 was choppin away at the foot of the tree he was a-faackui the limb off with his jackknife, and when the tree fell there he was. still np there on the limb. “ A colored exhorter said recently in the course of a sermon on “Money, the Great Evil:” “My brotherin, money cause mo' trouble in dis worl dan anyt’ing I knows on. Fac' is, de devil is in de dol-1 lab. When I see a man wid a pocket full er money, I say ter myself, ‘Dar’s a man what needs a guardeen,’an I feels des like takin him home en lockin up dat money fer him.

Des come forward en unload.” —Atlanta Constitution. Association of Ideas. “John,” said a loving wife, “I wish you would sing two or three lines of a song to me.” “What on earth do yon want me to . do that for?” “There is something I want yon to . bring home, and I’ve forgotten what it ' is, but I think I’ll remember it if you sing.” The good matured husband complied, < and the charming wife said: “I remember now. It’s a file I want. ” . —Odds and Ends. ' ■ I I His Anxiety. “I understand, Uncle Jim, that they’re , going to throw out your vote.” “Dey is, suh?” I, “That's what they tell me. ” The old man looked thoughtfully at ! the ground, then raising his head said: ; “Could you tell me, es you please, , suh, des how many of ’em dey gwine ] ter throw out?” i “How many of ’em?” “Yes, suh, so's I’ll know des how many of ’em I'll have left. ”
