If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it Is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these j troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Richmond people testify to permanent cures. Enoch Cromer, living at 221 North 19th street, Richmond, Ind., says: "Railroading is said to be hard on the kidneys and the continued jar and jolt pf riding on trains got me into a bad condition. My kidneys became weak and there was inflammation of the bladder. Many nights there would: be three or four passages of the secretions before I could get to sleep and this loss of rest made me weak, depressed and in no condition for work. Frequently I felt faint and dizzy sen sations and a general feeling of lassitude and weakness. Mr. Hiatt of the Hiatt Drug Co., advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so with good results. The backache was relieved and the-kidney action became regular." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

He was to meet Harry Furniss, who had. as one might say, discovered the Gladstone collar and was in the habit of caricaturing the statesman weekly by representing him almost buried in his own collar. Mr. Furniss had of course been told that he was to meet Mr. Gladstone, and the entire company looked forward with amusement to the night when the ideal and the actual should thus confront each other. The evening came and Mr. Gladstone with It, but he wore a little band of white linen, behind which not even the lobe t the ear could be concealed. He had appreciated the situation and provided for It. A notable wit of the English bench. Lord Bramwell, was once sitting in a case where a fashionable woman was accused of shoplifting. "My Lord, my client is not a common thief," urged the barrister for the defense; "she is suffering from kleptomania," "That is exactly the disease I am here to cure," replied Lord Bramwell, blandly.

At the end of the fifty-eighth hour of incubation the heart begins to beat, two vesicles are seen and a few hours later the auricles also appear." On the fourth day the outlines of the wings may be perceived and sometimes of the head also; on the fifth day the liver is visible; on I 1QQ hQurg tfae beak jg fuUy formed; in 200 hours the ribs are clearly developed; in 240 hours the feathers are visible; In 268 hours the eyes appear; In 288 the ribs are completed and the feathers on the breast; In 830 the lungs, stomach and breast have assumed a natural appearance. On the eighteenth day the first faint piping of the chick is sometimes audible. Malay Old London. Modern cities are not a noisy as those of other day. For example, in London in the time of King George II. the streets were still cobbled and the pack horse of Elizabethan memory had been replaced by heavy carts and wagons. Barrels of beer and heavy cases were dragged about on drays of iron without wheels, and to add to the tumult heavy signs in immense frames of Ironwork hung out in front of shops and houses and croaked Interminably. Street cries never ceased for a moment all day. All the smaller necessaries, such as pins, thread, string, ink, straps, fish, milk, cakes, bread, drugs, herbs, matches, were hawked In the streets.

PLAGUE IS DEADLY
iMore Than Four Thousand People Died Last Year of Tuberculosis in Indiana. COST TO STATE IMMENSE. That tuberculosis cost the people of Indiana $15,087,910 and removed a total of 4,480 persons during 1907 is the assertion of the Stale Board of Health In a statement that has been prepared for its report to Governor Manly. The board's figures show that the disease invaded 3,211 homes in this state, breaking up 1,271 of them by killing the father or mother. The disease killed 986 women from 18 to 40 years of age and 394 fathers of the same age. A total of 2,607 children under 12 years of age were made fatherless or motherless and 1,120 young people were killed In tho ago period of 15 to 21 years. According to the board's statement, the sum of $194,550 was lost in educating 1,297 young people who were killed by consumption before they were 2o years old, at $150 each. The loss in wages due to the sickness of the 3,452 who were killed in the working period of 15 to 60 years, at $10 per week, Is given at $1,795,040. The cost of sickness, nursing, doctors, medicine (average sickness of one year) of the 3,452 workers, at $5 per week, is given at $897,520. Estimating that one-half, or 2,240, of the killed as valuable to society, and valuing each at $5,000, one-half the statutory value, the loss in this respect as given by the board was $11,200,000. WEARING APPAREL. The Tonic, the Toga and the Leather DrM of the Ancieata. Ancient wearing apparel was not cut to fit. as is our modern clothing. Having no definite shape of its own, it did not disguise the wearer's figure, and the grace and beauty of Greek drapery are dependent almost entirely on the perfect proportions of the figure beneath. The tunic worn by both Greeks and Romans was little, if at all, fitted to the wearer and when ungirded hung in folds all round, while the toga was little more than a sheet and was worn in all sorts of wayB, according to lilt; prevailing ibsiiiuu. iul- uitvvb old seem to have worn breeches, but the rest of their clothing seems to have been simply wrapped round them, for it was difficult for them to run or even walk fast without first "girding up their loins." The clothing of the northern races was probably always more of a fit than that of the southern, for they used leather, which does not lend itself to simple draping, but our ancestors probably wore an almost shapeless tunic belted at the waist. Another striking difference is found in the gradual monopoly by women of the ornamental clement in dress. Once

splendid, and woman, holding an absolutely subordinate social position, had to content herself with humbler attire. As she has won her way to freedom and equality she has annexed not only the beautiful, but the extravagant ele ments of costume and left man to content himself with a condition of colorless utility.

A man who had watched the affair and claimed to know about hjgji, razorbacks iu particular, gave the following dissertation: "Arkansas has a greater variety of hogs and less pork and lard ' . ... . t man any state m me i nion. An averacs hog in Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds when dressed with its head on and about six pounds and a half with its head off. It can outrun a greyhound, jump a rail fence, elimb like a parrot and live on grass, roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail or bristle, but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf or a bear iu a fair fight. It Is so called razorback because it is shaped like a suntish. Iu buntin.? razorliacks they are always shot i.t sideways, for there is not a ghost of a show to hit them otherwise auy more than to shoot at a split shingle. It cau drink milk out of a quart jar on account of its long, thin head. This type of razorbnek is known as the stone hog because its head is so heavy and ita nose so long that it balances up behind. The owner of this type of hogs usually ties a stone to its tail to keep it from overbalancing and breaking its neck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over its eyes, and it will go blind." Mineral Wells Index. Morton's Memory. An Englishman named Morton could repeat from memory any discourse he had once listened to, while Scheukel, the inventor of one of the "Arts of Memory," could repeat 300 arbitrarily connected words and over 200 sentences, all in the exact order in which he had beard them. A Sussex man named William Wolton had a marvelous memory. When a child he could remember almost uiy sermon he heard and once repeated to the bishop his sermon word for word, lie took his B.

The tree which produces that beautiful and well known wood, mahogany, is one of the most elegant, if not the largest, of the country in which it is found and frequently grows in the crevices of rocks. The appearance of so large a vegetable production in such a situation is extremely curious and picturesque and is to be accounted for from the construction of the seed, Which is like that of the thistle, winged, or capable of being borne along by the action of the air and in that manner deposited in holes and fissures in the rocks, where it speedily vegetates and springs up. As long as the plant remains young the place in which it i found is sufficiently large for its growth, but as it Increases in size the roots gradually but Irresistibly force asunder the walls of their rocky prisons and throw off large portions of btone. It is not always, however, found In these situations, the largest timber being produced in some of the fiat and marshy epots on the coast of America. Such is the Honduras mahogany.which is much looser in texture and of less value than that from the mountainous districts of Cuba and Haiti. This last kind is known in commerce as Spanish mahogany and is chiefly purchased for the purpose of lcing cut into veneers. New York Herald.
