the llios, which are very annoying, even
to a healthy animal. Feed upon cut
grass and bran mashes, with an occa
sional mess of ap;dcs or potatoes. Most
horses will prefer the former. Sour
apples sometimes appear to have a better
effect than sweet fruit in cases of dis
temper. Medirincs should be given with
caution. Quiniu is one of the latest,
and probably the most valuable of reme
dies for distemper. In a communication

This sneriligious state of tilings lias
been brought about by the iniquities of
I bad pie-makers. Not every cook knows
! bow to build a good pie. It is a scien
tific art. It requires prnctico ns well ns
knowledge. A girl may know all nbout
astronomy, metaphysics and philosophy,
| and not have the knack of making u
whole-souled pie.
Young women of the middle classes in
I America arc full of ambition, nothing is
exempt from their aspiration, and they
i arc not so dull ns the average girl of any
: other nationality, vet they have been
found lacking in the requisite ability for
good pie-making.
Tho best pie tho writer over nto was
mndo by a well known and successful
i etress. She is a favorite with the front
parquette seats, equally with the gallery
gods.
The fascinations of her sparkling eyes
do only less havoc tlinn her well trained
1 voice. In private life she is the goon wife
of her husband, and during vacation pre
sides over a charming homo just across
from New York. It is her greatest de
light to prepare with her own hands some
dish for her table, when entertnining a
good friend.
The dish she made for us was n wltolc-
I some, thick-witli-fruit, honest pie. It
was so delectable and delicious that her
husband's mother told us confidentially,
it wa» the finest she ever ate.
This little actriss lias a concentrated
mind, cheerful and soulful, which is a
better guide to pie-huilding than all your
chemical chicanery.

Young housekeepers, nnd old ones,

But when the apartments are rented, says
an Eastern exchange, with tho prospect

question what to do with tho hi ink white

“It’s very hard on tlio poor man—
forced to work in heat or cold, storm 01
sunshine.”
“I don’t think so.”
“You don't. Look at the luxuries tlio
rich man enjoys; there's the full grate in
winter, ice when it’s warm ”
“Well, the poor man has his ice, ns
well as anybody else.
“He does?”
“Certainly; only the rich man has his
in summer, and the poor man gets his in
winter.”
“I havk noticed,” said a pert young
solicitor, “that members or the "legal
profession arc almost always brave men.
It is seldom that one shows cowardice. I
wonder why this is so?” “Well,” res
ponded an elderly Indy, “I've read
somewhere that 'conscience makes cow
ards of 11s nil.’ And us lawyers mostly
hnve no conscience, why of course they
haven’t anything to make them cowards.”

fin tlier un iergo purification before it pnssos
down from Imro into the ureters, nnd so on
t. tlio oulsido of the body. These littlo tul ei
nro tlie litters which do their work auto
matically, mid right here is where the dis
cus ■ of tli ■ l:i Ine,1 Jlrst begins.
Doing the vast amount of work which
they nro obliged to. from the sllrhiost irreg
ularity in otn- habits, from cold, from lilgl)
living, from stimulants or a thmuand and
ono otlior causos which occur every day, they
become some what wuakoued in thoir norve
for. o.
Wl.at is the result! Congestion or Rtoppag#
of tho current of blood iu thn a-.all blood
vessels surrounding them, which become
blocked: those dell ate membranes are irri
tated: inflammation is set. up, thou pus is
formed, whic.ii collects in tho pelvis or sa';
tho tul»s moat first partially, and soon aro
totally unablo to do thoir work. Tlio pelvic
mi ■ goes on dlstoiiding with this corruption,
pro.-situ; upon the blood vessels. All this
time, romeml cr, the blood, which is entering
Ihe kiditeyu to he Mitered, is passing through
this terrible, disgusting pus, for it cannot
take any other route!
Slop nnd think of it for a moment! Do
y' u realize tho imporlan 0, nay tho vital ne-
< essiiy, of having the kidneys in order I Cnn
you exp-i t when they aro dis-a-ed or ob-
structo l, no matter liow little, that you can
linvo pure lleoil and escape diseases* It
would be jtt t ns reasonable to expect, if a
post ii use were s t across Bronkwiiy nnd
c unit s tlimi an Is were compelled to go

contagion nnd discaso as for one t-i expoi-t
the l>Ui. d t-i oienpui oiliilion when con tuutly
run,ling Birmi -li a dlsoa-cd kidney.
Now, what is t'.u result! Why, that tho
blood takes tic und deposits tliii poison ns it
sweeps (dong in o every orgnn, into every
inch of inin'-le, tissue, ilcsb mi l bone, from
your le a 11) your feet. Aud whenever, from

consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia whore
thoro is a del,cate stomach; rervousnoss, iu-
iiinity, paralysis or heart dbonso in those
who have weak nenes.
The heart r ust scan feel the effects of the
poison, as it re /Hires pure blood lo keep it

But tlio inn ikal profession, learned and

But you say: “My kidneys nro all right. 1
havo no pain in thiback." Mi taken mail!
l’oople die of kidney disea -0 of so bad a char
acter that the organs aro rotten, and yet
they have neper three had a pain nor an
ache!
Why? Because tlio discaso begins, as we
have shown, in tlio int l-ior of t ie kidney,
wiit-ro there are few nervesof feel ing to con
vey tlio lon-ation of pain. Why this is so
wo may n vor know.
When you coniidor thoir groat work, tho
ieli a-v of their structure, tlie ease with
which they aro deranged, can you wonder nt

this hidden disease is! it is lurking about
us constantly, without giving any indication
of its presence.
The ne st skillful physicians cannot detect
it at timos, for the kidneys themselves can
not be exit mined liy any means we havo at
our command. Even an analy sis of the water,
chemically and microscopically, reveals
nothing definite in many cases even whim
tho ia moysnre fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no ma'-
t-ir where situated, to li t per cent., ns shown
by a(tor-death 0 (ruinations, has its origin
in tho breaking down of I liesj secreting tubes
in tho interior o' the kidney.
As you value health, as you desire longlile
free from sickno s aud suffering, give these
organs some attention. Keep them iu Rood
condition and thus provent (as is easily done)
all discaso.

Take it when sick ns a cure, and never let
