FEBRUARY.
DAYS,
Because of the new Febru-
ary goods. Silks and D1ess
Stuffs so bright and beauti-
ful that you can hardly tell
the light and wrong side of
them—handsome both sides.
A su1e guarantee of excellent
quality. They make the
p1edominating c o l o 1 s of
winter seem tame and unin-
teresting—out of date, W01 th-
less. Nobody wants any-
thing even a trifle old when
such choice effects as these
can be had.
When you buy, buy the
newest; they last the longest.
You may not have noticed
it, but when the change in
our Dress .Goods department
was made—enlarged—it gave
us a great deal more room
for the black goods ; twice as
much. And now we’ve
twice as many and twice as
pretty as ever before on ac-
count of the better facilities.
Some of the new effects,
particularly those which
supersede the c1epons, are by
far the richest looking and
the handsomest designs We
have had the pleasure of
show' so.
Out of all the multitude of
blacks from which our selec-
tions were made you can now
choose the most desirable;
those which experience has
taught us me best adapted to
give perfect satisfaction to the
wearer.

Judge Martin, of Atchison, Kan, is
celebrated as the man who never wore
a necktie in his life except on the occa-
sion of his marriage. It does not seem
to have interferred with the matri-
monial noose, then, however.
Rev. John Jasper (colored), of Rich-
mond, Va., is more than ever convinced
that “the sun do move.” In a sermon
the other Sunday he put it this way:
“When you rises and when you sots
down, don’t you move? Den how
could the sun rise and go down ’thout

‘ FISH NOTES.
' In Iceland codfish beaten to apowder
are used as bread.
It 1s now generally believed that new
lakes, canals, etc, become filled with
fish by means of birds. The birds, after
feeding on fiSh-spawn elsewhere, alight
on these new waters, and dr0p. some
of the spawn from their bills.
A sturgeon weighing 920 pounds was
taken from the Fraser river by a fish-
erman recently. It was the largest
caught this season. The Wholesale
price of the fish is one centa pound,
but even at that rate it was a profitable
day’s fishing.
Fishermen say that the use of nets
in fishing for sturgeon is rapidly sup-
planting other methods of taking the
big fish in the upper Gulumbia and
Snake rivers. The nets are from 600
. to 900 feet long, and the meshes vary
in size between 12 and 19 inches. ,

THE LADIES OBJECT
They Arecenerally, Reticent about
Personalities—Tms Boston Lady
Agrees With Us as to Facts,
‘ . - However.
(From the Boston Post.)
i ‘ The well understood fact‘that ladies
are almost as a rule'very’ hard to draw
out concerning any ailment they may
have has always acted as a serious bar to
even the well known family phySician,
and more so to any one less familiar.
We are therefore always glad to get a
good word from the gentle: sex for our
wonderful remedy, Doan’ a Kidney
Pills.
Let us call your attention to one of
the main points in all our talks to the
public. Do you notice we always give
you undoubted references near at hand
to you? A man living in Missouri
could send you a strong and truthful
letter of a cure by our remedy, but you
would better have one from some one
just around the corner, so to speak.
Mrs. E. T. McKinnon, residing at the
Hotel Roxbury, 227 Roxbury St , says
she was a great sufferer for years from
kidney troubles, and tried manv so
called remedies with very limited re-
sults. Her description of the vagaries
of the disease is worthy of a physician.
She says “ Kidney complaint is one of
moods—at times you suffer intensely, .
and then again you me comparatively
free from its tortures. Just so, spas-
modic pains, and then a lull, and so you
ascribe it to only a stitch, while the
disease is insidiously working your
death. ” Mrs. McKinnon says. “Some
time ago I saw DOan’ sKIdney Pills ad-
vertised at Geo. Burwell’s pharmacy,
Boylston St. and Park Sq. I began
taking them at once, and nothing I had
been taking acted as quickly or effec-
tively. One box entirely dispelled the
pains in my kidneys and I have had no
recurrence of them, and the “dizzy
spells,” from which I formerly suffered
so much, left entirely and I am indeed
invigorated, and my home duties seem
so light compared with what they for-
merly were. Futhermore Ifeel it my
duty to tell what Doan’ s Kidney Pills
have done for me ”
Is this not plain, concise, convincing?
We can cure you, too, if you are a suf-
ferer from any kidney trouble.
Doan’ s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents, mailed by,
Foster-Milburn 00. Buffalo, N. Y.,
sole agents for the Suited States.
