Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis

or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
those important organs. Thi3 unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are mafic mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

NEW SHOPLIFTING TRICK.
A detective in one of the large
Paris shops was recently struck by
the singular actions of a young wo
man who carried a baby in her
arms. The infant's head was cov
ered by a shawl, one corner of which
fell over the face and completely
concealed it. The young woman
pushed through the dense crowd
and now and then, when she
thought shd was not observed,
picked up sbme small object and
slipped it miller the shawl.
The detect tie stepped up to her
and with truly Parisian politeness
said:
“Madame, is it not very impru
dent to bring so young an infant
into such a crowd ?”
As he spoke he threw hack the
shawl that covered the child's face.
Then lie experienced a shock. The
baby was made of sheet zinc and
formed a very convenient receptacle
for stolen goods. I {■

the case. “It is necessary for me to
put some more capital in my busi

“But.” interrupted the young
man, “I’m not sure that 1 could let
you have any cash.”
