A Fine Bequest.
In these days when the accumulation

r...- proof of heartlessnessand sin, it is a
‘refreshmcnt to read of the will left by
-.rMassachusetts woman, whose heart
beat constantly and warmly for the
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 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 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
weak and unfortunate. This good wo-
man has left the fortune of $100,000 to
I the Aged Home for Women and Chil-
dren at Lowell, and $50,000 more to the
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
Pennsylvania Hospital at Philadelphia.
‘ The incident, which is one of many. to ‘
he found in the newspapers from week
to week, does a lot to prove to a sus-
picious world that it is by no means an
exception for wealth to acknowledge
in a practical way the obligation it
Owes the world. It is not always satis-
fied to see itself fatten and grow power-
2111.. It finds a pleasure .of its own in
catering to the needs of those who have
'iOEenhoth less fortunate and unfortun-
ate. - 1f the amount of money, right
here in “the selfish and vivacious east,”
which is annually given to the cause of
«education, to the different charities, to
3116 art galleries, the libraries, the pub-
lic parks, and the hundred and one
things which show a sympathy for and
an interest in mankind, could be
summed up into one grand total, a les-
son would be taught selfish agitators
which they sadly need. The corrup-
tion of money exists as the corruption
_ of humanity exists, but it is not true
shat the wealth of this country is utter-
lly negligent of its responsibilities. If
we are going to study the question at
all. it ought to be studied from every
point OI View, not from that alone of
envy and suspicion—New Haven Reg-

A Cool Season.
This winter of 1898 is proving its title
so be ranked with some of the severe
ones, after all. , For a whole month,
until last Sunday, the weather had
been comparatively mild, from Maine
5n the Rocky Mountains, and people
were beginning to think we were in
Sat a mild winter throughout; but with
the advent of February a different
state of things was established. The
big snow-storm of Monday and Monday
night, the last of January, covered the
entire North Atlantic slope, and proved
the proclamation of real winter. Since
that date, the increasing cold has low-
ered the week’s record, every morning,
until Friday, February 4, the thermom-
eters in this part of Connecticut ranged
3mm 10" to 18° below zero, while in
northern New England the mark was
I Sar lower. For Thursday morning the
Report from various places in New
fiampshire was from 40° to 45° below
zero.
This is Arctic winter, weather, and
' such. temperatures cannot be measured
by the mercury — they require spirit
thermometers as in the Polar regions.
V Fortunately such extreme cold sel-
dom lasts long. Like the extreme and
prostratin g heat in portions Of Jul y and
August, it is likely to continue but a
{ew days [at a time. Of the two ex-
tremes. the clear winter cold is the
preferable situation. It is tonic and
stimulating. With all its discomforts
and annoyances, its rheumatisms and
its plumbers’ bills, it is less formidable
than the reign of midsummer heat. It
is possible, even in' the severest cold, to
get comfortably warm—but in a week
of dogday heat, with the mercury at
midnight marking 80°, and at midday
. 38°, how is one to get 0001?. Only by
fleeing to the Klondike. or to Dr.
Kane’s/big Greenland glacier.
