Waring’s fef*r. contracted in Havana reminds one again what a curse Cuba baa been to thio country as an incubator of that terrible diseaae. Epidemics in our Gulf otateo have raged almost without number and thousands of American lives have been loot in the past century because Cuba was a pest bole of-the yellow fever. Havana must be cleaned and made healthy to save our own population from future scourge*. Mrs. Richard King, of Tex**, is probably the richest woman in the United States, not excepting Mr*. Hattie Green. Her wealth is partially inherited from her father, a pioneer Presbyterian clergyman, the first who ever went staff and Bible in baud to preach the gospel to Indiana and mixed with the races that people ,the vast domain over which bis own little daughter was destined to hold sway as a landed proprietor. Mrs. King is a widow, and her landed estates in southern Texas afoount to 1,250,000 sores, or about 2,000 square miles.

An absentminded American recently fell under disfavor in an English club for neglecting to notice a small courtesy. He was entering the vestibule of the club house and failed to perceive that a fellow member was holding open the door for him. Courtesy required him to thank the stranger who bad performed this slight lertfoo fad then to reciprocate it. Asthey were both entering the building, and he there was a second door leading into the central hall, be ought to have opened it and allowed the fellow member to peas in ahead of him. Being intent upon his own thoughts, hvpusbed in and took no no tice of the stnusger who had opened the first door for him. The first man was ir ritated by the slight and subsequently de nounced the absentminded member a* the worst bred man in the club, and when the story was told in detail in the smoking room opinion wa* so strongly against the American offender against English usage that the situation was explained to him, and ho was forced to make his peace by an apology far his absentminded breach of good manners.—Exchange.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brickdust de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Diseaae, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. It* reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug •tore that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
