Cranks and Fads in the Maine Case;
The adventof Lent has broken into
she social season, but has left the wor-
hack season in full swing. The news-
pzperswhich are compelled to sell
i-lieir issues in the streets because de-
cent householders will not subscribe
for them, are loading up their front
; before the worst of their mischief has
:been done.

FEMININE CHAT.
The bicycle girl is wishing that gen-
tle spring would come in with a jump.
The parrot has again become the
fashionable bird pet.
We always get our experience when
it is too late to make use of it. "
Your word is your servant so long as
you retain it, but it becomes your mas-
ter when you suffer it to escape.
If we would be more willing to ac-
knowledge our mistakes than obstinate-
ly to uphold our blunders we would
have infinitely fewer troubles. We
are all too quick to see other persons’
mistakes, and never recognize our own.
Why is it follies always look twice as
pages with head—lines in huge black ,
letters, announcing discoveries of
“facts" which never had any existence-
Dne lying on the desk on which this
article is written declares that Spain is
now officially recognized as an un—
friendly power, and that the President
has forbidden-Captain Sigsbee to obey a
summons to appear before a Spanish '
court of inquiry. And this bosh is sold

in‘ithe house have succeeded in keeping
that body within' the , bounds of pro-
priet y; so the dispensers of jingoism
and liapd'oodle are forced to Seek an
outlet for their wares through the sen-
ate. v‘Here is one grave wearer of the
toga proposing to send a committee of
senators to Cuba on a junket at gov e1 n-
ment expense—and for what? ’lo in—
cyuire into conditions which are already
sufficiently covered by the reports of
the c0nSul-general to the executive

ously proposed to treat General Lee as
a liar or the President as a traitor to
his trust? Is not the honor of the na-
tion at least as safe in their hands as in
those of Mr. Allen, for instance?

fllustrated in the resolutiOn inquiring

It is a wise woman who realizes that
she has reached the time of life when
she is bettei looking if she sits with
he1 back to the light.
Just when you begin to feel perfectly
content with your lot something is
bound to occur to bring you trouble.
The golden opportunity some men
are forever looking for is the reason
they give'why they never marry poor
girls.
The days when we are most rushed
for time are always the ones on which
we have the greatest number of inter-
ruptions. . '
When a woman is discovered reading
a frothy book that she thorOughly er.-
joys, she is apt to fall into a veritable
morass of excuses that no one believes
and which she had better have left un-
s.1id.
It would seem that robbery is a very
safe and simpleprofession when not a
single person interrupts you in the
task of breaking through the parlor‘
window when you have forgot-ten your
night key.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or commoa 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 m mate or pain in the back, is also
convincing pi 00f that the kidneys and
bladde1 ar e out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Theie' 1s comfo1t 1n 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-
od of 12 months by the use of the facil-
ities of the shipyards, machine shops,
mines and forests of_the- United States, g
wherever the same are found.”

These senatorial amusements may be
passed over with a laugh. Not so, how-
ever, the outrages upon de’cency to,
“which allusiomhas al1 eady been made
