FEMININE CHAT.
Does a woman’s son ever grow to
manhood in her eyes '9
Neckties in wide stripes appear to be
the latest mode.
Good health and no debts make this
world a veritable paradise. "
The high-bred woman can be easily
told by her walk and her conversation.
A man loves the sound of his own
voice, excepting when his wife wants
him to read to her.
Don’t buy your note paper as you do
your evening frock—according to its
shade by gaslight.
Progress has shown its most pro-
nounced stride in the perfection of the
up-to-date false teeth.
The latest agony has been reached
in the tooth brush with silver handle,
in the end of which a large amethyst
is set.
Many a man is more brutal in fun to
the woman who bears his name than
is many a one who is sued for divorce
on the grounds of cruelty.
From the number of exquisite nets
displayed in the shops, the woman who
doesn’t own a gown of this filmy fabric
the coming season will be decidedly
out of it.
Watch a man selecting a woman’s
ring at the jeweler’s. He may not be
buying one to seal his engagement, but
he looks as though he thought every-
one who saw him was of that opinion.
The couple from the country can al-
ways he spotted—not by their clothes,
but because they are apparently so
afraid they will lose each other, which
fact is demonstrated by the way they
clutch hands or arms.
There is a' great difference in the
manner of a. woman whom a. man keeps
waiting ate. trystiug place. If she is
his wife, she will snap out—“I’ve wait-
ed here Over an hour." If she isn’t,
she remarks with great amiability,
"Oh, you haven’t kept me long; only a
few minutes.”
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment 01 settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
W hen urine stains linen it. is evidence
of kidney in cable. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To 110.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often. expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, thegreat 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
been. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the ext1a01dinary
effect 0f Swamp-Root is soon realized.
tstands the highest fo1 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., ' Binghamvon, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair.
