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, When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidneytrouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT 1'0 D0. 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 'durin the night to urin- ate. The mild an the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a. medicine youvshould have the best.

How Senator Vest Got His Desk. Many stories could be told of the alertness which Senators display in se- curing well-placed desks, but the ex- perience of Mr. Vest is especially worth relating. When. in 1883. the civil service law was being discussed. Mr. Pendleton, an Ohio Democrat, and Mr. Dawes had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of politics the Republicans abandoned their support of the Dawes bill and voted for Mr. Pendleton’s measure, their votes, together with the votes of the Democrats favorable to the measure, being sufficient to pass it. As the bill was about to be voted on, Mr. Cockrell moved that its title be changed so as to read: “A bill to re- tain Republicans in office.” . As soon as it passed Mr. Vest filed a claim for Mr. I'cndleton‘s seat. “The author of such :1 bill." said he, “will never come back to the Senate." Mr. Yrsi was right, and at the begin- ning of the next Congress he moved into Mr. \Vashingtou Post. \ (1N \\ ,\~ ~.
