WHAT WILL. CURE MY BACK? Common sense will do more to cure backache than anything else, i ’Twill tell you whether the kidneys are sore, swollen and aching. It will tell you in that case that there is no use trying to cure it with a plaster. If the passages are scaht or too frequent, proof that there is kidney trouble is complete.

Probably Made a Hit. A young woman who presides over one of the kindergarten schools of Cambridge appeared at her desk recently attired in a new close-fitting skirt. With no thought other than the conducting of her regular routine ■work, the teacher went about her du- . ties. She noticed, however, that one of her charges was paying little attention to his work, but following her with his eyes wherever she chanced to go. Approaching the little fellow with the intention of ascertaining the trouble, she said: “ Well, Tommy—” Before she could go any further the youngster shook his boyish head and said: “Say, teacher, that’s a classy skirt you’ve got on!” —Boston Post.

When the Mist Floats Out to Sea

On the rocky shore of the Kisogawa lies a little Japanese hamlet whose quaint, low roofed houses overlook the hurrying river. In this little village several centuries ago there lived a fisher boy named Urashima. , As Urashipia grew up he was forever asking what lay out beyond the land and the bay. People would tell him of tales they had heard of strange creatures that lived in the sea and rumors of strange islands. Urashima determined that as soon as he had grown to be a man he would journey out beyond all the breakers to the great ocean and see for himself whether all these wonders were true. So when he became a man Urashima took his father’s fishing net and rowed down to the ocean. Suddenly his boat began to move more rapidly than before. Faster and faster it went out into the ocean. The oars in his hands snapped back against the sides of the boat and the water rushing back from the bows tore them from his grasp with such force that Urashima was thrown to the bottom of the boat, where unconscious for a long time. ( When he recovered it was nigntA At first his eyes could discern ing in the darkness around him, brn by and by he made out in tbe^distance a tiny red light on the water. His boat was still traveling rapidly and he was soon abreast of it. It was a little red lantdrn round like an autumn moon and glowing with a fairy light as it lifted and dipped with the wave on which it rode. And there were more of them and more swaying and gliding with the undulation of the water. And in the midst

"WO ft W*’ & f ; --t.. ; \ There Rose Out of the Water a Maiden.

of them Urashlma’s boat ceased moving and lay in the waves rocking gently. Urashima clung to the sides, terrified and scarcely believing what he saw. And while he stared there rose out of the water before him a maiden so beautiful and so pale that Urashima could think only of the tiny, delicate shells that one of the villagers had once brought back to Nezame from the seashore. She lifted one of the red lanterns from the water and bent forward, holding it toward Urashima’s face. Then she spoke in a voice that was high and sweet like the smallest silver gong in the temple: “Come with me to my father. You are chosen for my husband.” The Sea Princess held out her hand and Urashima stepped out of his boat and clasped it in his and together they sank down into the purple depths of the sea to the hidden green island of the Sea King. Here Urashima dwelt, living the life of a sea man and helping the Sea King to rule his domain. For a long time Urashima never even thought of his home and family. But there finally came a day when he said: “I must see my father and mother. And besides the net that I brought aw'ay in my boat belongs to my father. I must go back to Nezame and return it to him lest he should be in need of it.” The Sea Princess wept bitterly and begged him not to go back, but he could think of nothing else. When he promised that he w’ould return to her as soon as he had given his father the net she let him go. But before he left the sea palace she placed in his hands a silver box embossed with silver dolphins and very heavy. “This you must on no account open while you are away from me,” she commanded him. Then she took him up through the water to where his boat awaited him just as he had left it, surrounded, as far as eye could reach, by the red lanterns. No sooner had Urashima seated himself in his boat than he fell into a deep sleep from which he did not awaken until he found himself on the rock from which he had embarked on his journey of discovery. He looked around him. Up the hills the rice fields climbed in green ter-

races. Beyond rose Kojna-ga-take, shaped like a saddle and unlike any other mountain. On either side of him the familiar shapes of the river rocks thrust out of the curling -water. Before him along the river bank the bamboo houses lay under a soft drift of cherry petals. But where was his father’s house? The houses were strange to him, and among the people -who now flocked out to stare at him there was not one face that he had ever seen before. When he asked them what had become of his parents they shock their heads. They had not eyen heard of them. But at last a very old man was found who recalled having heard of the old fisherman grandfather. The old father and mother had died of grief, he said, when their son, who had journeyed out to the ocean, failed to return on the seventh day, as he had promised. But that, he concluded, was all of three hundred years | ago. Then Urashima raged with grief and despair. And then suddenly he thought of the silve? box the sea princess had given him. Surely in it he would find some charm to destroy the spell and restore the village to its old form, With his father and mother waiting on the beach to greet He opened the box. At first he could see nothing in it. Then a silver mist detached itself from its prison and floated away down the river toward the sea. For a moment Urashima gazed after it and then turned his eyes toward the village. There was no change in it. ilt was as he had found it. But he jhimself was changing. He tould feel the wrinkles of age gathering in his face as his knees bent weakly under him; his hair, once raven black, fell about him in long, white locks. Then he sank to the ground, his voice, strength and eyesight failing him as the three hundred years he had been living under the enchantment of the Sea Princess took their toll of him. HEMLOCK AS A STATE POISON Men of Historical Research Satisfied That It Was So Used in Ancient Athens.

In ancient Athens the prisoner condemned to death was made to drink the juice obtained by the decoction of hemlock, the seeds of which were pounded in a mortar as the first step in the preparation. The poison acted slowly, its efficacy consisting of its refrigerating power—a process w-hich spread from the lower extremities to the heart, when death ensued, accom-. panied by spasms or convulsions, symptoms expressly noted by Plato in the case of Socrates. Its action was antagonized by wine, which was often used as an antidote, heating the patient, and so impeding its characteristic action, a result also obtained by the effort and excitement of discussion, as was stated to Socrates by the expert in whose charge he was, so that the dose had often to be readministered to a talkative subject once or even twice. Phocion, the great antagonist of Socrates (according to Plutarch) whs put to death by the draft of hemlock as prescribed by the state, and before him, as narrated by Xenophon, Theramenes was executed by the same method. Os late years some doubts have been thrown on Plato’s account of the drug’s action, hemlock juice (it is alleged) producing symptoms of a quite opposite kind. These doubts, however, have just been disposed of by the professor of materia medica in the Medical school of Dundee, Dr. Charles R. Marshall, who, in a note communicated to Professor Burnet of St. Andrews, the most recent editor of the Praedo, maiptains the soundness of Plato’s narrative, the doubts referred to being, in his opinion, “unworthy of serious consideration." Noted Character Gone. A remarkable old woman has just passed away in her ninetieth year, in the person of Miss Isabella Macdonald, who was,a lifelong resident on the battlefield of Culloden, and whose grandfather was taken prisoner by the duke of Cumberland. She was known to thousands of visitors to the historic battlefield, and could give a graphic account of the details of the battle, told to her by her ancestors. Her grandmother’s words and sobs so melted the heart of the bloody duke that her grandfather's life was spared. The old woman lived in a quaint house on the battlefield which had survived since the “Forty-five.” Curiously enough when the present Lord George Murray and party visited the battlefield, the old dame accidentally met them at the “Well of the Dead,” and without knowing the visitors, gave a stirring account of the manner in which Lord George’s ancestors charged with their Highlanders at the battle.—Edinburgh Review.

KVAR SON® BLOW UP CONFEDERATE FORT Exciting Incident In Battle of Petersburg, Forty-Eight Years Ago, Is Told by Veteran. The effect of a difficult engineering operation in the Civil war, involving the blowing up of Confederate fortifications, was witnessed forty-eight years ago by Frank D. Thompson, an architect of Oak Park, who was a cavalryman in the 13th Ohio volunteer regiment. The explosion, which occurred early on the morning of July 30, 1864, provided an opening through the defenses of Petersburg, Va., which, however, the Union forces were unabie to hold. “The Union army lay in front of Petersburg,” said Mr. Thompson. “For weeks Col. Henry Pleasants of the engineering corps had been preparing to make a breach in the fortifications. From the river on one side and around the town, almost to the river on the other side, the earthworks of the defenders extended, 'broken here and there by a fort. Our earthworks were raised in some places not much more than 100 yards distant. The place chosen for making the breach was : /fix There Was Force in the Explosion. near the Petersburg cemetery. Here our line was 133 yards from the walls of ‘the fort and was approached from down the hill by a covered ditch. Beyond the line a tunnel had been driven into the hillside, extending under the fort, and at the end of the tunnel had bee placed four hoppers, each containing a ton of powder. The mine was to be exploded with a fuse laid along the tunnel. “We of the 13th Ohio, knew nothing of what was going on. We had been out on picket duty all day July 29 and got back to the line in the afternoon. We were dismounted , and sent with our carbines through the covered way to the line. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening when we. took this position. Our only knowledge of what was going to happen was our order to charge at the sound of the signal guff We expected this at 3 o’clock in the morning. Three o’clock came and passed and it was not until 5 that we heard the signal gun. “As we afterward found out, the fuse had been lighted, but had burned only half the distance, not much more than a stone's throw. There had been a call for volunteers to go into the tunnel and light the fuse where it had burned out and one man was chosen from among the many. He fired it and got safely out of the tunnel before the explosion. There was force in the explosion. The earth heaved under us we were so near, but it did more than heave at the fort. Up into the air went everything. earth and heavy timbers and the bodies of men, and before the debris bad all fallen to earth we had covered the intervening distance and were in the breach. The fighting was hard inside the walls. The enemy drove us back, but we returned to the tight, only to be finally repulsed at 2 a’clock in the afternoon. At about this time I was shot and badly wounded, wd lay on the field under the July sun and the stars that followed until, n the morning, I was taken up and carried to the hospital at City Point.” Did They Run? General Sherman always said with pride that the army of the Tennessee never retreated. They started in at Memphis, and came out at Charleston and Wilmington in a fourth of the time that it took the army of the Potomac to see-saw back and forth between Washington and Richmond. One day after the war the general said that he was talking with a veteran from the army of the Potomac. The soldier. was describing the big fight of Hooker at Chancellorsville. “Did the rebels run?” asked Sherman. “Did they run?” repeated the soldier. “Did the rebels run? Great Scott, I should say they did run! Why, general, they ran so fast that we had o run three miles to get out of their vay, and if we hadn’t thrown away our guns they’d run all over us sure.”

125,000 AMERICANS GO TO CANADA IN 1911. THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A GREAT INCREASE. In a report of the House Committee (Washington) appears the following: "Canada offers a homestead upon good land, easily reclaimed and cultivated, with six months’ leave of absence each year and most lenient regulations.” All of which is true and it is now the part of the careful reader to consider the opportunities that exist in Western Canada which, in addition to the above, are attractive features. The evidence of these is found in the letters contributed by some of the settlers. For instance: A former Minnesotan, writing from Warner, Southern Alberta, speaks of tlfcat district, but what he says, applies generally to all of Southern Alberta. He says: “I have seen six crops, four of them were first class, one of them a very good crop, and the other a poor crop. Government statistics for the last fifteen years show that this country has averaged about fifteen or sixteen Inches of moisture. In 1910 there was only seven inches, and in 1911'twentytwo inches. The 1909 crop was about as good as I have seen in this country and we had about twelve inches of moisture, so that I am thoroughly convinced that with normal conditions, that is, from twelve to fifteen inches of moisture, and with the natural increase of population and immigration, that Southern Alberta will be one of the very best mixed farming districts in the world. We have good soil, good water, and a good climate, and altogether just as desirable a country to live in as Dakota, Minnesota, lowa, or Wisconsin.” Hundreds of letters are on file from former American settlers, which give good reasons why the Western Canada lands are being settled so rapidly. Full particulars can be had of any Canadian Government Agent, who will furnish literature and give low- rate certificates. Excursions are being run daily. GOOD NAME.

PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS “I was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only part affected, but it caused great disfigurement, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. “I used pills and other .remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet w;hich I read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved in a fewdays. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a few weeks and was cured* completely. I can truthfully say that, the Cuticura Remedies are not only all, but more than they claim to be.” (Signed) G. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th Place, Chicago, 111., May 28, 1911.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited by 9 Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound!.

The “ change of life ” is a most critical period in a woman’s existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason.

Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life.
