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.
When 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 10 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 during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and 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 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.
ORIENTAL SALUTES.
[n Siam the Inferior is Liable to Get
Kicked for His Impoliteness.
The people of the, Orient‘ salute one
another in many queer and amusing
ways. One of them is called the
salam, or sal-aam, which is a very low
bow, accompanied by a horizontal
movement of the arms toward the per-
son saluted until the extended hands
meet edge to edge. Another form is
a low bow, with the palm of the right
hand to the brow. In Persia the sub-
ject salutes the monarch by throwing
himself on the ground and kissing his
feet.
In China, says the Philadelphia
Times, an inferior on horseback, on
meeting a superior, dismounts and
waits until the superior has passed. In
Japan an inferior removes his sandals
when he meets a superioerl-aces his
right hand in his sleeve, thus crossing
his arms, and rocking himself to and
fro, cries: “Don’t hurt me! Don’t
hurt me!” ..
They have a very funny fashion in
Siam. "When an inferiOr comes into
the presence of a superior 'he throws
himself upon the ground.
superior sends one of his attendants
forwardio see whether the prostrate
manhas been-:eatinganyxthing or has
any offensive odOr about him. If he
be blameless in this respect, the at-
tendant raises him from the ground,
but;if he be . guilty, the attendant
straightway kicks him out.
Some of the Indian tribes have a
way of saluting one another by rub-
bing their noses together. This is also
the form in the. Friendly and Society
islands, after which each man takes
the other’s hand and rubs it upon his
own nose and mouth.
Philadelphia’s Horse Policeman.
A mounted policeman of the
Twenty-ninth district of Philadelphia,
rides ~a handsome horse, who is known
on the force as Jags. , It was during a
raid on a. gang of tramps early one
morning that Jags covered himself,
with glory. The scene of the raid was
vania Railroad, where about twenty of -
the hoboes had camped out. The po-
liceman had dismounted and Jags, who?
was standing near, noticed one of the;
tramps slinking behind a. freight can;
The horse commenced neighing, and it'
I
was thought something was wrong;
Finally, Jags, seeing that his ”neighing:
was not noticed, went after the es-i
caping man and seized the prisoner?
firmly by the collar until. his master:
came up and placedhim in handcuffs:
The man was somewhat relieved when
the officer released him from Jags’s
grasp—Philadelphia Record. 2
» Fox a Queer Character. >
Henry Stephen Fox, one of the-
earliest English ministers at Wash-
ington, was so eccentric,an to make
himself the laughing stock of the '_
whole town. He generally did not'
arise until other people were almost;
ready to go to bed. When duty come
pelled him to rise earlier, he was like;
an owl-in the daytime. “How strange)”,
l . .
,at a state “funct10n”-—“how strange‘
! said he to Mme. Caldron, one morning:
we look to each other by daylight."I
His debt compelled him to econo-my,;
and he rarely gave dinners. He onceé
invited a large party to his house—4
Mr. Clay, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Webster
and all the giants—and when they
were all assembled, he said: “Gentle-
men, n-ow be good enough to put on.
your hats and follow me.” And then}
he led them into a neighboring eating?

A Sensible Invention. ,,
The woman" who has invented a ket~
tle in which meats and vegetables may
be boiled without odors being diffused
through the house, should be gratefully
rewarded by her sister sufferers. The
merit of the invention lies in the cove
long enough to extend into an opening,
in the range pipe, and provided with a
circular piece of tin near the end, so
that it may be fitted..into any aperture.
With: this kettle one need not eat her

Just now there is wailing and gnash-

of Alfold, because the government has
interfered with their wedding gifts. It
has always been one of the local cus-‘

hair of her guests, who in turn put
sums of money into the basin of water
-—an unpleasant duty, perhaps, but

A SLAVE’TO DUTY. "—37
An Elephant that Would Not Neglect I
. Baby It “'33 CarlngJor.
_ Marie A. Millie, in St. Nicholas, tells
a number of “Stories of Elephants,"
Mrs. Millie says:
At one time my husband was at a
station in Bengal. His work kept him
out nearly all day, and, being ill, 1
used to lie for hours in a long garden-
chair on the veranda, too'weak' to read,
or" enjoy any more exciting amusement
than my eyes supplied to me.
We had three elephants for our tents
and baggage; and one dear creature
used to feed from my hands every
day, and seemed as gentle asany pet
dog or cat.
One of our government chaprasis was
particularly devoted to her, and ins
variably shared his meal of fruit or
flour-cakes with his dumb friend. On
a particularly hot day, the chaprasi, to
my surprise, placed his tiny child of six
months at the Oelephant’s feet, warning
her expressively that the infant was in
her charge, and was to be cared for till
his return. I myself was an eyewit-
ness of her wonderful sagacity; Large
banana-tree‘s and fig-trees grew arOund-
and,. to my surprise, the elephant
broke off one of the farmer’s spreading
leaves, held it like a fan in her trunk,
and.from time to time gracefully wav-
ed it over the slumbering child, wheth-
er to temper the heat ofthe atmos-
phere or to keep off flies, I am unable
to say. The gentle way in which she
moved her feet over the child, and
across to each side, astounded me. I
sent for a white loaf and some oranges,
and calling her by name (she was nev-
er chained), tried in vain to tempt her
to my side on the low veranda. Noth-
ing would induce her to leave her
charge. The warm air and monoton-
ous wave of the swinging fan over-
powered me with drowsiness, to which
I yielded; and, after a sleep of some
duration, I was awakened by quiet,
subdued snorts beside me. To my sur-
prise, I found that the chaprasi had
just returned to his offspring, and the
elephant stood near the veranda be-
side me, patiently waiting and gently
asking for the tempting dainties so
bravely withstood for over two hours.
