HOW I Flllll OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a. sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing 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 curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain .in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor.
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Ront is soon realized. It stands the high
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. At drug-
gists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both cent
absolutely free by mail, if on send your

Inc of the Many Touching Stories 0!
Soldier Life in the Late
\‘Var.
Among the many touching stories
arising from the 1a to war, the following
is told by the New York Commercial
Advertiser:
A man of the ”Thirty-third Michigan
was loaded dowu with baggage, and
over his shoulder he carried two guns.
tied: together with twine. He was
smoking a cigar, and kept- up «a. con.-
stant stream of bantering remarks in a
reckless way; ‘
“There’s our train, boys," he said, as‘
.his company crossed the platform and
clambered down the sandy slope toward
.thesiding. “Don’t you see the sign?
‘Improved Stable Cars.’ Well, thank
goodness. we‘re going the other way
this time.” f
When the men halted'beside the cars
a bystander said affably to this man:
“You’ve 'got more than your share of
baggage.” '
“I don’t know about that,” answered
the Michigan soldier, sobele.
“Where did you get theexfra gun ‘3"
“It’s'a dead man’s gun. It belonged.
to a man. who was killed down in Cuba."
. “And you are taking- it home, are
you?” , '
“Yes, I‘m taking’it to his folks.”
The stranger seemed inclined to get
more of the story, but the soldier turned
his head away, so that no. one could see
his face. '
“It belonged to my brother,” he said.
HINDOOS PAID SUN’S DEBTS.
Think an Eclipse Indicates 'It 1!! Be-
hlnd in Its Accounts. So Cel-
ebrate Rites to Assist It.
When the recent eclipse of the sun
occurred in India the priests in some
of the village temples had a quiet tip
to be ready for it, says the New York
JournaL ;
“The sun god is in danger.” said the
crowds gathered near Patna to watch
the eclipse. “we must. help him. He
is in debt, and every one must give
money to pay. his debt, or a huge mon-
ster will swallow him!” '
Bathing in the holy Ganges and pray
ing there to the sun would help. The
priests said the early morning would be
most efficacious, and the people went in
immense numbers.
' The eclipse began soon after noon,
and was total about two o’clock. Dur-
ing totality the crowd became excited.
Men were trembling from head to foot
with excitement and fear. “Ham, Ham,
victory! Ram chunder, victory to
Ram! 0, Ram, victory!” was the cry
all round.
Then, at the instant light reappeared,
there rose a triumphant shout from,
many thousands of voices of “victory.!”}
Rapidlythé multitudes melted awy. '4
They say that the money that was
given- so liberally to the priests helped :3
the sun, and; thus shortenedihe eclipse. Z

when a lady entered and inquired of

The Turkish Monarch \Vns Greatly:
Impressed with the '

Hiram Maxim, the invenicr of the

an experience with the sultan of Tur

of the wonderful shooting of the rapi
fire arm and was duly impressed Wif-
sccing the small weapon deliver ital:
of 600 shots a minute without b in
touched by human hands save the r"s‘
pull of the trigger.
“Wonderful! wonderful!” be ex
claimed in amazement. “I must have
some of those arms.” .
Some time later Mr. Maxim received
an order for an expens' e pattern of
small field arm. He ma two, beauti-
fully chased in gold and of marvelous
workmanship. What the sultan couldé

duly sent to Turkey,'v’vhere they
rest in the royal museum. ,- ' ;
“Ah! They sho'o-t foo well,”.=the-snl-
tan is reported to have said when asked?
why they were not used in the field;
“They are better where they are.”
It was afterward said that the sultan,
having a superstitious regard font-heir
shooting power, thought they were bet—r
fer off where they could be seen in-
stead of being handled by his troops in
times of peace. But now, having got-
