The long suffering victims who attri- bute alarge percentage of the marks against their names in the recording angel’s black books to the unspeakable duplicity and perversity .of the Ameri- can parlor match are likely to give way to more than [ghoulish glee over the news that one of the far from heavenly places in which American matches are made, took fire and burned with an en- tirely uncelestial fierceness. They will laugh. to scorn the assumption that any criminal or extra-factorial aséistance was necessary for the destructionot the premises. A match, on being struck, is guaranteed to light half a dozen places at once, including the gas, the striker’s fingers, his clothes' the bureau covering, the furniture and anything within a five feet radius, may well be trusted to turn some day and plague its unnatural inventor. And this, no doubt, it has done. What this country needs, for the suppressmn of profanity the reduction of the death rate and the prosperity of both life and fire in- surancdcompanies, is another and en- ormously better quality of match than is now forced on consumers. Nature mlf revolts against a match that re- volts against the place of its own birth sufficiently to burn it down. . No Baihes Law Chhuges. NEW YORK, March 1.—At}" a. caucus in Senator Elect Platt's apartments in the Fifth Avenue hotel the Republican leaders decided that any material amendment of the Baines liquor tax law during the present session of the legislature would be inexpedient. The decision was not reached until after a long and excited discussion. It was decided to adjourn the legislature on April 15 or as near that date as possi- ble. ' Republican Triplets.

How carefully mother guards .Ihe secrets of her boys and girls. At night as she carefully tucks the bed clothes round them shevchides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night’s, ofl'ense softly saying to her- self it’s only a habit, but I must break them of it. This is mother’s mistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- uses that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Dean’s, Kidney Pills, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: ‘ Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Merideii. Conn, says: “My little boy of 10 years of age has always been troubled With/Weakness of the kidneis causing him to wet the bed. So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Dean’s Kidney Pills curingincontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the little iellow. I procured a box and their use. pioduced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan’s K'dney Pills until the kidneys are Ballad and strong. It is only out of gratitude that'I permit publication but . the trouble is a. very prevalent one and most people from modesty or difildence do not speak of it. Physicians do not apear to be able to cope with the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for this terrible annoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale bv all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re- ceipt of price. Foster—Milburn Co, Bufi'ilo, N. Y , sole agents fur the United States.

Turner, of the State Insurance Ofu fice, Salem, Orc., says: “Out of the scores of cough medicines in the market tliei‘e is only ~me I have any confidence in and that is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this statement after an experience of twelve years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs and colds it is splendid, but where its work is infallible is with children subject to croup. I keep it in my home at'all times.” For sale ' by E. P. Weed, Druggist. LUUKWUUD'S IRREIGEPAEER‘VER? Chea rates. Willalso take orders for mes- sing; service in New York.
