Women Should Know It.
Many women suffer untold agouy and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb trou
ble or fernale weakness of some sort is
responsible for the many ills that beset
womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puny
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma
tism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or beating-down sensa
tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine
with strong odor, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty-four hours, aie
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attrib
uted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but a reflection of the pri
mary cause, which is a kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and both need the same remedy.
Dr. Ki'mer’s Swamp-Root is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents or one dol
lar.

In 1518 a battle was fought near
Milan, in Italy, and so perfect was
the armor of both armies that, al
though the conflict raged from 9 a.
m. to 4 p. in., no one on either aide
was either killed or wounded,though
one man broke his collar bone by
falling off his horse.

He Knew Them.
An Edinburgh paper says that a
young advocate before the Scotch
lords of session, on hearing a deci
sion against his client which he
deemed contrary to law and justice,
so far forgot himself as to exclaim
that' he was “surprised at such a
decision.” The lordships were an
gry and were considering how to
mark their sense of the advocate’s
impertinence when a pawky old
counselor arose and besought their
lordships’ forgiveness for the slip
his young advocate had made. “It
was purely lack of experience that
led him into error. Had he known
your lordships half as long as I have
done I’m hanged if he would have
been surprised at anything your
lordships said or did.”

A Bird’s Peculiar Choice.
A strange nesting place was that
once selected by a swallow. At Cot
ton, Lowestoft, England, Mr. Rus
sel Coleman discovered a swallow’s
nest, with young binds in it, on the
revolving part of the machinery of
a common windmill.
The particular spot chosen was
the “wallomer,” the outer edge of
one of the wheels. The revolutions
averaged 30 a minute, and Mr. Cole
man estimated that in that time the
nest traveled about 180 feet. The
young birds would certainly be ex
perienced travelers before they left
such a nest.
The mother bird, when sitting,
usually traveled tail foremost, and
when she entered or left the mill
she had to make use of the hole
through which the laying shaft'pro
jected. To do this it was necessary
for her to dodge the sails, which
were, of course, hung close to the
wall of the mill.
When the creaking and shaking
of t-he machinery of a windmill is
taken into account, one can hardly
fail to be struck with the peculiar
taste of the bird that chose such an
apparently uncongenial spot in
which to rear her young.

HORSE TRADES.
Clever and Brutal Tricks That Are Worked
For the Uninitiated.
That there are “tricks in all
trades” there is no question, but it
is a question whether there is any
trade in which there are so many
tricks practiced as in horse dealing.
A certain class of men, known
among veterinary surgeons as“gyp
pers,” carry on a trade which brings
into use “tricks” which are against
every law forbidding cruelty to ani
mals.
These “gyppers” set up establish
ments in the various fashionable lo
calities, where they dispose of
“family driving horses,” “a young
lady’s pet mare,” “children’s
ponies” and so on through the cata
logue at very small sums, providing
also that “the horse can be given a
good home.”
A family is leaving for Europe, a
young man whose father has recent
ly failed (names never being dis
closed by request) wants to dispose
of a fine animal, but the good home
is the chief object.
The veterinary surgeon (an ac
complice) is called in. He testifies
to the soundness of the animal and
grants a certificate. A grand sale is
made, and by the time the buyers
have discovered their mistake the
establishment has moved and all
trace of the “gypper” is lost.
One of the first and most impor
tant steps is to make the teeth of an
old horse resemble those of a 5-year
old. The teeth of a young horse con
tain large cavities which grow
smaller as the horse ages.
The black lining of the tooth,
which must be visible, is burned in
with nitrate of silver or some other
chemical agent. The painfulness of
this operation can be judged by
every reader who has ever spent ten
minutes in the dentist’s chair of
torture.
A young horse is naturally full in
the face. Sunken eyes intimate ap
proaching age. This is rectified by
inserting a hypodermic needle just
above the orbits of the eyes and
blowing it up with air.
In a case of distemper or influenza
the discharge is temporarily stopped
by plugging one nostril with a
sponge.
Perhaps the most brutal thing to
which a horse is subjected by these
“gyppers” is in the case of a horse
blind in one eye or where a cataract
lessens his value. The dealer with
out any compunction whatever
punctures the eye, which runs out,
and then inserts an artificial one.
The operation is a most delicate
one, and, needless to say, extremely
painful.
If the dealer finds himself burden
ed with a lame horse whose condi
tion suggests no immediate change
for the better, he severs the nerve
that supplies the foot, an operation
which is termed by surgeons neu
rotomy. The relief is but temporary,
and the suffering of the horse is
supposed to be intense.
When a horse has a quarter crack,
it is quickly filled with gutta percha
or putty and painted to match the
hoof.
The way to make a “high step
per” is to rub the back tendons of
the legs with turpentine and cow
itch, which burns like fire and
makes the horse prance with pain.
Chloral hydrate and opium and
the different narcotics are adminis
tered to tricky horses, absorbent
cotton is plugged in the ears of shy
ones, and “wedging” is resorted to
in cases of lameness. An iron wedge
is driven underneath the shoe of
the corresponding foot, causing both
legs to go lame alike, which only
gives the horse a different motion.

THE PAY OF PARLIAMENTS.
Boers Get the Largest Salaries, bnt Osj
Senators Have Valuable Perquisites.
So far as payments in hard cash
go the brawny burghers of the
Transvaal are decidedly the best off.
Quite recently the Boer parliament
increased the salaries of its mem
bers to $6,000 a year for each indi
vidual, as they can very easily
afford to do, when one remembers
the big tax rolls which the unfran
chised uitlanders are compelled to
pay. But in actual emoluments the
United States senator probably re
ceives a better reward. He gets
mileage and numerous minor fees
and privileges, which swell his an
nual income materially over its
nominal $5,000.
Great Britain, as every student
knows, gives her members of par
liament no salaries, although gov
ernment officials for the time being
are royally paid. The first lord of
the treasury receives $25,000, as also
do the foreign, home, colonial, In
dian and war secretaries. The lord
chancellor receives $50,000 per an
num. But for the M. P. who does
not hold office there is naught save
honor. Even the old privilege of
not being liable to arrest for debt
while an M. P. has been abolished.
The British colonies, however, do
not follow the example of the moth
er country. New South Wales and
Victoria allow their M. P.’s $1,500
per annum, Canada and South Aus
tralia SI,OOO, with an additional
mileage rate for the former, and
Queensland $750, with mileage.
New Zealand representatives get
$1,200.
France gives its senators and dep
uties SI,BOO, but there is a “string”
to this salary which might be tried
elsewhere, in Vienna, for instance,
with good effect. Any member who
is twice called to order during a sit
ting forfeits half his salary for two
weeks. Cases exist where certain
fiery French deputies have lost their
entire year’s allowances in this
manner.
Belgium grants members of the
representatives’ chamber SBBO a
year and passes on the railroads,
but, curiously enough, makes its
senators work for nothing and pay
their own traveling expenses.
In the realms of the little queen of
Holland members of the upper
bouse are paid a sum equal to about
$4.18 per diem for each session, but
since they meet only on 30 or 32
days in the year they cannot be said
to clear much. In the second cham
ber SB3O per annum, with a travel
ing grant of 27 cents for every hour
spent on the railroad, are the allow
ances. Absentee Dutch lawgivers
forfeit their salaries, whether their
absence be caused by illness or not.
The new Japanese parliamentary
constitution compels each member
of the national parliament to draw
annually from the treasury about
$665. Any member of the aristo
cratic classes refusing to accept this
salary through pride or other rea
sons is subject to fine and dismissal
by the parliamentary rules of 1890.
Portugal is niggardly with its
representatives, giving them only
$320, and Norway pays members
from $350 to S4OO, according to the
length of the session. - -~
In Sweden members of the upper
house serve absolutely for patriot
ism and the lower chamber mem
bers get only $335. Moreover, $2.75
per diem is deducted for nonattend
ance. Even the unpaid upper house
is fined for absenteeism, although
its members get nothing—not even
train fares.
The Greek lawgiver is a $360 per
annum man, with additions for
overtime work (such as in the re
cent war). It was suggested recent
ly that these salaries should be
“docked” slightly, so as to help pay
the Turkish indemnity, but the idea
was condemned promptly. Switzer
land gives her councilors something
less than $5 a week, with about 6
cents a day for traveling expenses.

Lafayette’s Pose.
In her book, “The Home of the
Lafayettes,” Miss Edith Sichel nar
rates the following anecdote of the
friend of Washington and America:
On returning from his visit to
America in 1825 Lafayette stood for
his portrait. His sister, Mme. de
Montagu, -was much embarrassed by
the thought that he would probably
have been painted with the declara
tion of lights in his hand, but she
was too delicate to ask him.
On his first visit to her after his
return home she inquired what pose
he had chosen. Her curiosity made
him smile.
“Well, my dear,” he replied, “I
am taking a walk—my hat and cane
in my hand—like this.” And he imi
tated the attitude he had described.
“And the other hand?” asked
Mme. de Montagu anxiously.
“It is in my pocket,” answered
the general, “which is better than
having it in somebody else’s.”

p BOY CHOIRS.
Difficulties In Training That Suggest a
School For Choir Masters.
George J. Brewer, who was a
member of a boy choir in England
w’hen he was 7 years old, and who
for many years has been a trainer
of boy choirs in England, Germany
and America, says that there is a
prejudice against such choirs in this
country for which there is good
ground. In The Church Economist
he says:
“The choirs are termed harsh in
vocal effort, insufficient in culture,
incapable of the spirit of true wor
ship and churchliness, while the
boys’ voices are termed immature.
This feeling is almost entirely due
to the woeful lack of educated boy
choir masters —men who understand
boy nature and the boy’s voice.
Many capable choir masters who
have come to much success with the
adult voice ruin the boy’s voice by
training it by adult methods.
“The cultivation of the boy’s voice
is a special art, and a most delicate
one. Case after case has come to
my notice of choir masters, with lit
tle or no knowledge assuming di
rection of a boy choir. The newly
engaged choirmaster may bean ad
mirable organist—once in awhile a
capable boy choir master—but how
rarely is he both I This state of af
fairs is not entirely due to oversight
or ignorance. Thirty years ago
there was but one boy choir in New
York city, and GO years ago the fea
ture was a rarity in England. The
innovation would seem to have been
a curse as well as a blessing. In
America the average country town
cannot afford to hire boy choristers,
or, as is more often the case, boys
with good voices are not to be had.
In the suburban town the boy choir
is received with fair favor, as a rule,
and in the city there is abundant
opportunity for well organized and
well trained choirs. There is a
wealth of material from which to
choose and a wide open purse with
which to procure that material. So
it is small wonder that the opulent
Episcopal churches in New York
city, with their daily rehearsal, have
notable choirs.
“In England no choir master is
considered capable who has not long
been under the shadow of a church
as a chorister. In America the rec
ords of the choir masters are scant
indeed. What is needed is a choir
masters’ school—rather a boy choir
masters’ school.
“Now, as to the grade of music
sung by the average American boy
choir; it is too often the up to date,
‘modern’ church music, anthems in
particular. Some of these are un
speakably crude and unchurchly
and insult the sanctuary in which
they are sung. How many parish
ioners are even superficially ac
quainted with the glorious composi
tions of tjie old masters of church
music—Purbell, Crotch and a dozen
othersi I have brought to a perfect
test in my own choir the efficacy of
the work of these old composers.
Their compositions are not beyond
the scope of the boy choir. It is all
a matter of constant and unremit
ting training. Again, the chanting
of the psalms, in itself a difficult
feat, by whatever method of point
.'is often disregarded, producing
ti-x. most wretched results, whereas
all that is needed is careful training
at every rehearsal. My boys chant
any psalm at sight, merely because
of endless going over at the rehear
sals, held not every day, but three
times a week.
“The boy choir is essentially suit
ed to the rendering of church music,
and, in my judgment, is to be pre
ferred to an adult quartet or chorus.
Boy choirs in this country are grow
ing in number, and, alas, their
merit is not grow ing in proportion I
The almost appalling question,
What then? cannot be answered.
“The boy choir master must be the
most tactful kind of a disciplinarian.
There is everything in securing a
refined class of boys. The choir
must have a distinct moral tone, and
that once gone there is little hope.
The outsider little appreciates the
task of keeping up the given stand
ard which the successful choir mas
ter must constantly impose upon
himself. If the better class of lads
are secured, they may or may not
be amenable. They do not work so
heartily for the pay given as do the
poorer boys, but, on the other hand,
they are more likely to reverence
the sanctuary.”

The Antiquity of Wigs.
A passage in Polybius has been
cited to prove that Hannibal wore a
wig. Wigs were probably invented
about the time of the first Roman
emperors, for we are told that Otho

of hair upon it so well arranged as
to seem natural.
A Tune For Grant.
While Meade’s army was march
ing out of the Wilderness, a drum
corps in passing Grant’s headquar
ters caught sight of the chief and at
once struck up a then popular negro
camp meeting air. Every one began
to laugh. “What’s the fun?” in
quired the general. “Why,” was
the reply, “they are playing, ‘Ain’t
I glad to get out ob de wilderness I’ ”
The general smiled at the ready wit
of the musicians, and said: “Well,

Carlyle’s BlUmine.
Dr. Guthrie of London, the author
of a celebrated treatise on gunshot
wounds, married a lady who had
two daughters, one of whom was
Margaret Gordon, Carlyle’s “Blu
mine. ” Mr. Walker saw her in 1833
when she was married to a notable
Aberdonian, Sir Alexander Banner
man. He remembers her again in
1851, “fair in looks, handsome in
person and accomplished in man
ner,” and a niece of Lady Banner
man says that she had the sweetest
of tempers.
Lady Bannerman accompanied her
husband to his various governor
ships in the colonies. He died in
1862 from an accident while he was
preparing to return to his native
city. After his death his wife re
tired to a villa in Hampstead, where,
being childless, she lived a solitary
life and died there about 1886. She
never alluded to her early relations
with Carlyle, but talked freely of
his character and of his works, es
pecially the essays on Burns, Goethe,
Scott and other articles in his “Mis
cellanies.” But it is said that she
talked even more of Edward Irving,
who had been her tutor in mathe
matics. Lady Bannerman’s sister
survived her and is still living at a
very advanced age.—Bookman.
Advertisers Are Immortal.
Great advertisers live in the his
tory of the city and the prosperity
of their firm* long after they them
selves have “shuffled off this mortal
coil.” Their announcements in the
newspapers continue to bear fruit
after the advertisers are dead. On
the other hand, the nonadvertising
business man is dead to the com
munity long before he leaves this
life, and his business is more than
apt to die with him.—-Savannah

Deadly Cancer
Cured at Last!
Do Not Give Up in De=
spair—There is Hope!
For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affliction have con
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns,and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeon’s
knife because the blood can not be cut
away.
“Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. It refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite a while but
