More people died In the city of Now York In 1S81 from Bright’s disease of tho Wdncys (b n from diphtheria, small-pox and-typhoid fever nil com’ Inc 11 This ecareely seems possible but It la true and when It la remembered that leas than one- third the actual deaths from Bright’s dlsecse are really reported aa such, the ravage! of tho malady can bo partially understood. Tho Immediate query which every reader will make upon such a revel Mon of facta, la: What cauaes thla Inereasel This Is a dim cult question to answer. The nature of tho rilmnto. the habit! of ll'a, the adulteration of foods and llquora, all undoubtedly contribute; buf liu Immediate causo ran be coi taluly as signed. Often before tho victim knowa It the dlscaaa has begun. Ita approaches am eo •tvslthy and ita symptoms so ebseuro that they cannot be definitely foleaoen and aro only known by their effect!. Any kidney disorder, however a ight, Is the Arat stage of Bright’s dl ease, lint It la Seldom that kidney d sor- dora can be detected. Thoy do not have any certain symptoms. Mysterious weariness; an unusual appetite; periodical headaches; oc casional nausea; uncertain pains; loss of vigor; lack of nervo power; Irregularity of tho heart; disordered dally habits; Imperfect digestion—all these and many other aymp- tomi are the Indications of kidney disorder even though them may ba no pa’n In the region of the kidneys nr In that portion of the liody. The serious nature of these troubles m y be undcreood from the fact that Bright’s disease Is i s certain to followdlseased kidneys aa decom|iosltlon follows doath. It Is high tlma the doctors In thla land who havo be n unable to control kidney troubles, should he aroused and compelled to Dud some remedy, or aoknowledge one already found. The suffering public needs help a> d can not awnlt the tardj aetloo of any hnlr-apllttlng node or Incorrectly formulated theories. If the medic il world has no certain remedy for this terrible disease let them acknowledge It and leek for one outside the pnlo of their pro fession. For the discovery at thla remedy and fur Ita application to thla disease, tho people of thla city, the people of the whole land, uot nnly those who am suffering, hut thoso who have friends In danger, aro earneally and long Ingly looking, Tbe above quotation from the New York Tribune la caualng consider iblc commotion, aa It seems to lift tbe cover from a subject that has become of National importance. Th* alarming Increase of kldnry diseases; their Insidious beginnings and frightful endings nnd tho acknowledged Inability of physicians to successfully' cope with them may well awaken tho greatest dread of evory one who baa tho slightest aymptopia. It la fortunate, however, that tbe surest rellof la often found where, possibly, least expected, and that there Iji a specific for the evil* above described n o have come to fully believe. Witfaiit the past two years we have frequently seen statements of parties claiming to have been cured of aerloue kidney trouble* even after hope had ' bqpn abandoned; but In common nlto moat people we have discredited them. Unite re cently,-however, a number of pruinlucnt and well-known men have come out voluntarily and stated over tliolr signatures that tlioy were completely cured by the uae of Warner's Safe Kidney and I.lver Cure. Unit people .have been aware that this medicine has an . unusual standing and one entitling It to be Resiled above proprietary article. generally; but that tt bad accomplished ao much in checking the ravages of kidney disease Is not eo generally known. Its great worth lias been shown not-only by the euros It has effected, hut alsottcsusa a number of base imitations have appeared In the market, fraudulently claiming the valuable qualities of the original i Safe Cuter If li were not valuable, it would not be Imltatod. The above may seem like an ultra endorse ment of n popular remody but it Is not one whit stronger than tho facts admit. What ever assists tho world toward health and eon- acqueht happiness, should recolvo tho hearty endorsement of tho press nnd all friends at hitman ty. It'la on preolaely this prluclplo that the foregoing statement Is made and It merits the careful consideration of every thinking 'reader. Technical Education In Belgium. One of the Commissioners on Tech ttical Education of Grent Britain givi dome interesting particulars conoernin the attention paid to teolinical oduentin at the famous works of John Cockeril of Seraing, Belgium. In the several d< pertinents of mining, smelting, forgin and machine-making about 10,000 me. alb employed, anil the wages par amonnt to about $2,000,000 per annun About 100 draughtsmen are employed of Whbm twenty-five are Germans am Swiss from tho polytechnic schools < their respective countries. Several frt night schools are attended by boys am adults from the works, numbering nom ly 2,000. There is also an industrin technical school, attended by abou eighty fitters, boilermakers, and youn, men from all the departments, while : mining sohool in connection with tli works is attended by about 200 student, According to statements made by th director of tbe steel deportment, n! young men'urtder eighteen years employ ed in that department ore required t attend thepight sohool, and absence is in some eases, punished by expulsio from the works. A similar state oRhiug at sine works near Liege abou A queer Breed of Children* ‘There are the most fcurious children in that coach that I ever saw in my life,” said a gentlemen standing on the Union Pacific Depot platform to a liec reporter. “Just step in and look at ’em, Bud if Jolt can tell me what they Wfe you can have them." With a view of accepting the offer and starting a side-show business if the articles referred to proved to 1m genuine curiosities, tho ftee repPebenlntive moun ted the stops of tho conch on a tour of investigation. Surely enough, occupying four Boats on tho loft hand side, sat n Chi naman well dressed in his national cos- tnme and beside him a full-blooded Mb* gro woman, holding two children on her lap, while four others, under tho charge of a Chinese servant., rolled nnd tumbled over tho seats nnd down tho nisles of tho ear. Thore was nothing so peculiar in tho appoarnnco of either the man and wifo, for so tho reporter found thorn to bo, but tho six children, tho oldest of whom wns nine years of uge, wore the most singular combination of negro and Chin ese imaginable. Their hair was crisp nnd ourly; their skin Very dark, but tho shnpo of their fnoo unit the almond-shaped eyes proclaimed their paternity too dis tinctly for nny mistake. They jabbered a- wny with their father in his native tongue in the most nrtloss manner, while nt tliosamo timo thoy kept tho passengers in convul sions of laughter with contortions nnd grimaces which would hove done infinite credit to tho stngo of negro minstrelsy. The rejiortor aoertnined that tho name of thoChiamiui was HnngHnng, \vho, twelve years ago, wontn eooiio to Cuba.

Ninety-nine or Nine Hundred ami Ninety-nine Years. The reason for the use of the odd term in lenses, 909 years or 99 years, is given in tlio New York Journal of Commerce. Lessees and mortgagees in possession o' real estate for 100 or 1,000 years de mised the same at an annual rental, re taming a reversion for the last year oi tho original term. The object of this wns an unwilling ness on the part of the under tennnt h become bqund to the performance of tin covenants contained in tho origins grant; and also, the importance to tin lessor of a reversionary interest; with out which, under tho old English prac tice, he could not recover his rent hi distress. Sometimes this reversion was only foi three days or even for one day, hut usu ally in long terms the last year was re tained. Out of thiB came the popular notion that tho law provided 4nw re straint, and hence leases were made for 99 or 999 years, when there was no reason whatever for any such odd pe riod of time. In England there was, in special cases, a restraint on corporations or ecclesias tical persons, prohibiting the denvse of lands belonging to them to tbe imp ishment- of their successors, for - t ,-na beyond 100 years, and such lee s were made for 99 years. There is „pch restriction in this State. — “Coal Oil Johnny,” other reports to the contrary notwithstanding, is at Kearney, Neb., where lie owns a large grain elevator and is rapidly repairing bis wasted fortui}es 1 --C'/u'cciyo Tim$s, A man who had imbibed rather freely in the morning was driving his cow to pasture, wlieu a fellow came along and extolled the cow. "Y’es, sir,” said the owner, “everybody is praising that cow. ” “I wish I owned her,” said No. 2. Just then a couple of toads jumped in front of the eow. “Look here,” exclaimed the owner, “if you’ll cut those two toads I’ll give yon the eow.” “Will you?” said the man.
