The Heroes of Havana. i‘he" more the mind dwells on the rstast-rophe of the Maine the more one thing above all others stands out, the pathos of the destruction of theftwo hundred and fifty and the-heroism of the survivors. Capt. Sigsbec and'his surviving men did their duty as gal- lilmtly in toiling to save theirg-com- radcs, they maintained composure and self-possession as admirably against un- seen disaster, as Lawrence or Dray- ton in the face of the enemy. The menwho were instantly hurled from the repose of sleep in their hammocks bathe repose of death in _Havana har- bor died for their country no less than did the crew of the Cumberland. The stem self command with which Sigs‘ bee sought first to save his ship, then to save his men, and when all was over arrow those temperate and collected despatches to Washington, is as fine in Lake Erie. To think of the harm which an indiscreet and precipitate despatch from Capt. Sigsbee might have done and the temptation any one in his position would have been under to ‘oxculpate himself and his men by such an accounting for the disaster as ,lieved, shows how a naval commander calmness as well as by courage. SO‘MC- read the old lesson that peace has her duties as well as her victories, no less important than those of war; Straightforward persistence in duty, manly willingness .to accept the full measure. Of responsibility, be it what it may. prompt, grappling with the in- stant need of things, and unswerving attention to the 'work of the moment- these are in the last‘analysis the duties of a commander, and these Capt. Sig:- becghas faithfully fulfilled. The destruction of the crew, the mostl terrible catastrophe in either military or naval service since the Custer mas- . snore, is a fresh reminder that service of lcohnztry has its perils alike in peace never knew what happened. Their deaths were instant. They died in the service of their country just as truly ss_..ii‘ they had gone down under the guns of an enemy. The country sent them there, and they perished in the- line of duty. Captain and crew alike have merited the highest meed of praise. ‘ ' ———<..9’—-——-—— FEMININE CHAT. If there should be a war and our men should march off to the battlefield, how many women would begin to realize that their husbands were pretty nearly all right, after all. It would seem that women are the Ionl y subjects men find to talk about, judging by the "they do say” character of much of the conversation overheard alt-clubs and in places of business. The display 'of Roman striped grena- dlues leads us to infer that the coming summer girl will look like a human rainbow. \Vhen a. man is in trouble he discov- era the real value of the woman he loves.

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 theokidneys 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 effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures 0f the most distressing cases. If you need a. medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
