THE CZAR AND THE DOLLS.

'Um‘lerst'and Their DIachunii-zn
A; every one knows, M. Faure v.5‘:
hear er of some extraordinary P.ri.
dolls to the little Grand Duchess (3152
when he went to St. Petersburg re-_
cently, but now comes the droll stay
of the reception given them by the
Emperor himself. The baby Grant
Duchess, it seems, was not more en-
tranced than her august papa witl
theze sweet dollies who carried on s
squeaky dialogue as between mother
and child, but after an hour passed in
their society nurse was obliged to take
the little Princess to bed, and the Eni-
peror was then left alone with the 'twc
clever artificial ladies. In an adjoining
room the Empress, M. Faure and SCZL'lC
ladies and gentlemen of the court were
talking, when suddenly a. strange noise
like that of an infernal machine was.
heard, followed by a loud exclamation
of dismay. Everybody rushed to see
what it was. There was the Czar safe
and sound, but with a dismal face
looking at the dolls, which he had
partly undressedg to find OUL the secret
hidden in their bosoms, while the dolls
were chattering away as though they
would never stop! The gentle Em.
press quite lost her temper; snatching
up the carpeted 'board on which the
precious ladies were standing she gave
it to a gentleman near her, “Please
take it away,” she cried, “it is too bad.
indeed; the Emperor spoils everything
he touches,” but as “Nicky" looked
very penitent and the situation was so
funny, she could not help laughing.
“You see how it is,” said the Emperor,
“I am not permitted to talk with my
own daughter’s doll!” At this sally
the company laughed heartily, and
peace was at once restored. It is hoped
that Miss Olga’s new possession will
be no more interferred with, or, at
least, the French people will send an-
other doll for the Emperor’s own en-
terrainment.—~Boston Herald.
THE USE OF THE §REAT TOE.
It Serves the Negroes of the West Indie.
in Climbing.
The negroes of the West Indies use
the great toe constantly in climbing.
Several years ago, while spending
some time at one of the famous resorts
in Jamaica, a writer in the Overland
Monthly says: I had an opportunity to
observe the skill with which the black
women, who do a great part of the
menial labor, carried stone, mortar
and other building materials on their
heads to the top of a five-story tower,
in a part of the hotel not then finished
Much of the unerring accuracy with
which they (women and girls) chased
each other up and down the long lad-
ders, with heavy loads skillfully pois-
ed on their woolly pates, was due to
the firmness with which they grasped
each rung of the ladders with the
"great toe. They did not place the' ball
or the hollow of the foot on the rung,
but the groove at the juncture of the.
great toe with the body of the foot
and they held fast by making the back
of the other toes afford the other grip-
ping surface. In much the same way the
Abyssinnian native cavalry grasp the
stirrup. And I have seen a one-armed
Santo Domingan black, astride the
near ox in a. wheel yoke, guiding a
lead mule with a rein held between his
great and second toes, while his onl:
arm was devoted to cracking his team:
ster’s whip.
Settled the Question of Age.
D. W. Caldwell, the late President
of the Lake Shore, and John F. Miller
general superintendent of the south-
west system of the Pennsylvania, were
friends all their lives, but there- was
one thing on which they could nevei
agree, and that was as to which was
the older. One day they were driving
up to Caldwell's country home in a
buggy. -
“John," said the Lake Shore ”man.
"you have always insisted that I am
older than you.”
“Why, of course, I was born in—
“That’s all right, John; if you are
younger than I am suppose you Open
the gate." '
Without a word Mr. Miller climbed
from the buggy, opened the gate, and
Mr. Caldwell drove through. And
then he did not stop, but went on tc
the house, leaving Mr. Miller to follow
through the dark and mud as best he
could. When the house was reached
the soil was scraped off Mr. Miller and
nothing more was said. He had prov-
ed that he was the younger man of the
two—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Bedmen on the Matrimonial Question.
Two items are furnished by our red
brothers of the wildwood apropos oi
the matrimonial question. Mrs. Black
Hawk, the wife of Black Hawk, the
noted Cheyenne chief, cut her throat
because she felt that her husbanc‘
needed a younger wife. In Vancouver
Skook'awak, another Indian chief, find-
ing that his squaw was growing old
tied her to a pony’s heels and the:
started the pony. This proved effect-
ual, and he is now ready for a y-oungei
squaw. The methods of the chivalry
of the forest differ materially from the
white man’s. When the latter wants
another squaw he doesn’t bother about
the old one. Nor does the old one cut
her throat. The slow advance of civil-
! ization among the Indians is shown by
their repugnance to paying alimony.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
IVhen urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up'
many times during the night to urin-z
ate. The mild and the extraordinary‘
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized._
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the meet distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a-
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent;
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N .~ Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair.
