Lister, to Nature, BACKACHES, HEADACHES AND NERVOUSNESS ARE MESSAGES FOR YOU. They Tell You That Your Kidneys Demand Attention.—John Morrow's Creat Discovery. To most people a backache seems a very simple thing, to be got rid of by -working it off." Sometimes the pain does "work off — sometimes it does not. Whether it does or not. thoughtful people have come to understand that a backache is a warning that is not to be neglected without danger of contracting a disease that will limit life to a few months, or mavbe years of suffering. Kidnej- troubles have been better understood of late years, and kidney troubles in relation to rheumatism and neuralgia is only beginning to be fully comprehended. The kidneys are the filters through which the blood passes, and if they get out of order the blood remains impure and every part of the body suffers. First the nerves tell the tale. A backache gives warning. Headaches c-y out that something is wrong. The temper becomes irritable, the nervous system is shattered and insanity is the next step. When John Morrow. the great American chemist, discovered and gave to the world the remedy known as Morrow's Kidneoids—a little yellow tablet—be could not then fully understand what a benefit he was bestowing on humanity. Time has fully proven that thousands who otherwise would surely have died have been restored to health by these tablets. I’he manner in which this medicine acts is illustrated by the case of Mrs. Margaret Fitzgerald, a respected lady of Springfield, Ohio, who says: "I have b en a constant sufferer from lame back and diseased kidneys for many years. The pain in my back would often compel me to give up work. I tried different physicians and remedies without permanent benefit. I at last became discouraged and decided to do nothing more for it. when 1 heard of the great success of Morrow's Kidneoids. I was reluct* antlv induced to try a box. After a few day s use I began to experience a change. The pain became less severe, and before I knew it the pain in my back had entirely disappeared. I used the remainder of the one box. and todav I feel perfect!? well. Morrow’s Kidneoids will do just what the manufacturers claim for them.” Morrow’s Kidneoids are for sale at all stores. If vou cannot find them, they will be sent post paid by the Herb Medicine Co . Springfield. Ohio, upon receipt of price—*o cents per box. or six boxes for 12.50. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co..

Germany prints twice as many books as France. Rarely indeed is a blue eyed person found to be color blind. In China horses are mounted on the right side and ships are launched sideways. It is said that women criminals have larger hands and feet than average women. Between the ticks of a watch a ray of light could move eight times around the globe. The wall around the city of Babylon at the height of its prosperity was 56 miles in length. The Chinese fiddle, in the shape of an ordinary hammer, has two strings and is played with a bow. The custom of keeping birthdays is many thousand years old. Pharaoh’s birthday festivities are mentioned in the Pentateuch. Spurious coins are legally made in China.

The lantern fly of Surinam, South America, has two sets of °yes, so as to catch the light from all directions. Its light is like that cf the ordinary firefly, but it is much more brilliant.

Bank notes were forged to such an extent after the introduction of £1 notes that in 1802 no fewer than 70 extra clerks were employed at the Bank of England merely to detect them. There are two great walls in China. One is 40 feet thick and 50 feet high and surrounds Peking. It is 16 miles in circumference. The other—the great wall of China—is nearly 1,300 miles long and was built 2,115 years ago—--217 years B. C. One thousand dollars was paid in Boston for a single sermon. The document is known as the “Plymouth Sermon, ” by Robert Cushman, and only five copies of it are in existence. The volume which contains it was printed in London in 1662. Diamonds are cut in three different forms—the rose, the brilliant and the table, of which the second is the prettiest. It is a double pyramid or cone, of which the top is cut off to form a large plane, and at the bottom directly opposite to a small plane. The origin of the word sirloin of beef is variously stated. One account tells us that King James I, of witch hunting memory, knighted a loin of beef at a banquet, which joint was ever after called sirloin. Another story ascribed the freak to Charles 11. An extension of the definition of assault has been devised by some Loudon low churchmen. They attended an “asperges” service in a spiritualistic church and later asked for a summons for assault against the vicar, who had sprinkled holy water on them. Samarkand has a cab service, but the Samarkanders are obliged to go on foot on Saturdays, as all the drivers are strictly orthodox Hebrews. The town authorities tried to force them to work on their Sabbath, but the appeal court has upheld the religious rights of the drivers.

Such is the recs’".' io- ' ■ <■. //li 7 BRIGADIER GENERAL WORTH, ord made in a few weeks by Lieutenant Colonel William S. Worth of the Thirteenth United States infantry. He is now at his home on Governors island under the care of skillful physicians, who say they will have the general up and around again in a few weeks. Colonel Worth was in command of a brigade at the beginning of the battle on July 1. It was while making the charge up San Juan hill that he was wounded. His orderly, Corporal John Keller, who was with him in the fight and who accompanied his wounded commander home, says: "It was an awful charge up San Juan hill. Officers who went all through the civil war and had been in half a dozen Indian campaigns said they never saw anything like it Those Spaniards on the hill were well intrenched, and they knew how to shoot too.” Commodore Schley’s Ancestor. The Rev. Edward Huber of Baltimore has shown that Commodore Schley’s ancestor was Thomas Schley, a German schoolmaster, who, in 1735, came to Maryland from the Palatinate with about 100 settlers, part of whom were Swiss. They founded Frederickstown, which they called Friedrichstadt. The Rev. Schlatter, a Swiss-German missionary, who visited the United States from 1746 to 1757, writes, in his “Travels In America,” that he considers it "a special privilege of the Frederick congregation to have the best schoolmaster I met in America. ” When the Germans, in IS7o,conquered France, and even before that time, in 1866, when they gained their victories in Austria.it was said that “the German schoolmaster had won the laurels of the German army.” At Santiago the descendant of a German schoolmaster, as it seems, won the victory for the United States.—Baltimore Sun. ■ln Command In Santiago. Brigadier General Leonard Wood, who is in command of the American forces in Santiago, has been prominent since the beginning of the war with Spain. He it was who, with Theodore Roosevelt, raised the regiment of rough riders that has done such gallant work upon several occasions, and he was colonel and Roosevelt lieutenant colonel of the regiment. For gallant service around Santiago Colonel Wood was promoted to brigadier general. General McKibben, who as senior officer of the detail of American troops

I' BP.ICAEIER GENERAL LEONARD WOOD, in Santiago proper, was the commanding officer. He fell ill, and General Wood, as next in rank, assumed the command. It happens, fortunately for Santiago, that General Wood was a most competent medical officer before his transfer to the line. So that he is, above all of the officers with Shafter, best qualified to relieve the city from the unhealthful conditions that are said to exist there and to put it in good sanitary order. They Are Proud of Him. The many habitues of Chamberlin’s talk proudly of the way that Lieutenant Lucien Young, commander of the Hist, has disported himself in this conflict. They all knew that the chivalrous and warm hearted Kentuckian would prove his valor and skill if given half a chance, and the press dispatches attest beyond doubt that he did glorious service in Manzanillo bay on the morning that Ccrvera played his last desperate card. When on the eve of departure for Cuba, the lieutenant laughingly remarked that, in the language of a noted southern general, he was going in for h— or promotion. His friends here are sanguine that he will escape the former and are certain that he deserves the latter.—Washington Post.

WASHINGTON LETTER. ••Bemember the Maine:” Pingree Gom to the Front—The Education of Young Indians. , [Special Correspondence.] Not- a few persons who were opposed to any reference to the destruction of the Maine as having been caused by Spanish deviltry rather than by accident have protested against the motto “Remember the Maine!” Still, the men of the navy have used it, the troops have not avoided it altogether, the press has repeated the phrase Xrom time to time as occasion suggested, and even the government has employed away of keeping it before the public. Every person who has to use a proprietary or documentary stamp to pay taxes to support the war will “remember the Maine.” There may not have been anything malevolent or bloodthirsty in it, but the internal revenue bureau has decorated the stamps with pictures of the battleship that was blown up in Havana harbor. This picture is on the stamps of all denominations below 81, the differences being only in designations of amount and in colors. The little picture at first glance is simply a warship, but those who are familiar with the features and peculiarities of the Maine will see at once that the warship is none other than the Maine. So every time a druggist gets a package of medicine upon which he must affix the stamp he will undoubtedly “remember the Maine” and wish the war was over. The use of the picture, when it costs, makes for peace and not for blood, and the treasurer estimates that before the people are allowed to forget the Maine there will be collected some $60,000,000 a year by the stamp act to pay for war expenses. Pingree Fights For His Boys.

Governor Hazen Pingree of Michigan was in Washington the other day to see Secretary Alger in the interest of the soldier boys of his state. The interview was very satisfactory to the governor. This was not his first visit to the capital on war business. Recently he came here and had a seance with General Miles. The governor discovered that some of the Michigan troops had been sent to Cuba clothed in heavy blue woolen uniforms. It made him mad, and he did not hesitate to express his views to General Miles. He said the Michigan boys were entitled to the best of everything the government could but did not supply. If the government would not provide light canvas uniforms for the soldiers, the governor told General Miles, he would do it himself and charge it up to the war department. General Miles reminded Governor Pingree that the uniforms must be of the regulation style, but the governor is quoted as having replied that style did not cut much of a figure as long as the Michigan boys were provided with something cool and serviceable in the way of uniforms. Governor Pingree went back to Michigan and ordered a lot of drab colored serge uniforms for the Thirty-fifth regiment, encamped at Island Lake, Mich. The uniforms were of his own design and were made under his supervision. “What is good enough for the boys is good enough for me,” said the governor when he jumped off the train at the Pennsylvania depot. It was true, too, for the governor was attired in a soldier’s uniform and called particular attention to it when he presented his claim to Secretary Alger. Indian School Children From Carson. Mr. Eugene Dean, superintendent of the Indian school at Carson City, Nev., is in the city. He brought with him 13 young Indians, 12 lads and one girl, whom he turned over to Captain Pratt, superintendent of the school at Carlisle, Pa. The boys were all members of their school band, and among them, Mr. Dean says, are several of fine musical talents. “At Carson we have about 150 Indian boys and girls of the Piute, Shoshone and Washoe tribes. In the four years of my connection with the school I have witnessed an improvement among them that is simply wonderful. They all speak the English tongue habitually. I haven’t heard an Indian word uttered in over a year. We have a kindergarten for the little cnes and industrial training for the older pupils. The girls take ready hold of such practical arts as sewing, cooking and housekeeping, and their brothers are taught farming and the use of tools.

“A good many of the girls, after a course of training at the school, are taken by the white residents as domestics, and give very good satisfaction. The larger boys command very good wages as farmhands. Schooling to a great extent removes the inborn shyness of the Indian, and some of my older students will sit and converse with strangers in an easy way like white children. There is a certain per cent, however, that seem never able to overcome their native reserve.” He Saved His Leg. “If the science of surgery had been advanced as far in 1861-5 cs it is today, we would not see so many veterans of the civil war going about with stumps of legs and arms,” said Dr. Hayden tc a party of friends with whom he was talking about the war. “Surgeons nowadays resort to amputation as seldom as possible, and by treatment preserve the injured member, where 30 years ago the first thought would have been to operate. A cousin of mine in the Confederate army got a bad wound in the leg, and when the surgeon proposed to amputate the sufferer stoutly resisted. Pulling a pistol from beneath his pillow, he swore a dreadful oath that he would shoot dead the first doctor th*t undertook to saw off his leg. They took him at his word and made no further efforts at operating. Today he is traveling about the world, a successful business man, with a pair of as good legs as anybody. ” The use of the X ray has contributed largely to the advance made in surgery, and as the methods of its employment are improved it will become still a greater factor.

WOMAN AND FASHION. Th® Desire For Novelty In BodiceaConvos Golf Vests -A Fancy glimmer Hat. The desire for novelty has resulted in many bodices curiously slashed or cut to show an underbodice of contrasting fabric. Our picture shows a combination of cashmere of a shade of green more nearly classed as sage than any other tone, with a fancy silk in which black scrolls almost cover a white ground. The skirt is of the cashmere made perfectly plain. The bodice is of the cashmere ent out around the arm size in the back and in the front to give the effect of a shallow bolero of the silk. The edges of the cash-

These and the V shaped opening are covered with white taffeta with motifs of black lace applique. A belt of the fancy silk is pointed at the top, both back and front, where the waist- is gathered. The underbodice fastens in the center front, the overwaist of the cashmere fastening at the shoulder and underarm. The sleeves are of the fancy silk. The hat is black and white. —Brooklyn Citizen. Canvas Golf Vests. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, piazza girls at Bryn Mawr and Wissahickon, and later at Cape May and Bar Harbor, are making their summer canvas work golf vests for pct brothers or favored swains. It is an English fancy and by no means inexpensive. The worsteds cost several dollars and the amount of work on one is considerable. There are several stitches employed, a Russian cross stitch being the most popular. The imported ones show a backing of yellow, but that, here and now, is entirely tabooed, because for golf it goes without saying—the main color is red. The effect is considered undeniably stunning. If you want to spare yourself trouble, you can get them through the Woman's Exchange, but they cost 814, and there is no doubt that the favored recipient appreciates the gift far more when he has seen it growing through long, lazy mornings, under his lady’s fair fingers. They have to be sent to the tailor to be made up, with satin linings and back, which costs another 810; but they are effective enough to fully warrant the expense, and there is no danger of their becoming common. Fancy Summer Hat. Os the many newly designed hats destined for wear during the height of the summer season, one of the most attractive is shown in the picture. The body of the hat is of black chipped straw. The brim is round and flat, and the

ONE OF THE NEW ONES. crown is of medium proportions. The trimming consists of a light drapery of maize taffeta, the loops and ends edged with a ruching of black gauze. The hat is further trimmed at the left side and near the back with several black plumes and tall black aigrets.—New York Telegram. Fad of the Hour. Among the fads that catch the public taste is the one of buttoning the lowest button of the coat and leaving the rest unbuttoned. This gives the proper look to the figure and prevents the fullness of the gown from being crushed. Another is the dotted green chiffon veil. This is worn pinned around the hat, the two lower ends loose and flying.

Large portions of the old royal castle in Berlin are to be remodeled to make it habitable. The emperor’s desire is to be able to offer a comfortable abode to his guests on great festival occasions, who have previously been quartered in various Berlin hotels at great expense to the imperial exchequer. The conditions under which British sailors and soldiers live are far more sanitary now than in the past. In 18G5 more than 11 deaths occurred in every 1,000 men afloat, while ten years later the number fell to 6.8, in 1885 to 5.4 and in 1895 to 4.4. In the army the figures are not quite so satisfactory.

Oh, the Pain of Rheumatism! Rheumatism often causes the most intense suffering. Many have for years vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-dhy worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and Swift’s Specific is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which can reach such deep-seated diseases. A few years ago I was taken with inflammatory Rheumatism, which became so intense that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried S several prominent physicians and took their treatment faithfully, but was urijible to get the slightest relief. In fact, my con. ditlon seemed to grow worse, the disease spread over my entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. Upon the advice of a < '»■ r friend I decided to try S. S. S. Before allowing me to take It, however. my guardian, who was a chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pronounced it free of potash or mercury. I felt so much better after taking two bottles, that I continued the remedy.and tn twomonthsl was cured completely. The cure was permanent, for I have never since had a touch of Rheumatism though many times exposed to damp and cold weather. Eleanor M. Tipprli,, BTII Powelton Avenue. Philadelphia.
