[EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
Why it should be so much more diffi-
gult to do right than to do wrong: why
a bad habit should always come dead
easy, as Chimmy Fadden would say,
while a good one is only to be achieved
by fasting and prayer is one Of the
Dundreary things no fellow can find
out.
Yet it is an incontrovertible fact,and
in a way it explains the prevalence of
the “don’t” habit among women. Prob-
ably there were always sporadic cases.-
but it- is only since the appearance sev-
eral years ago of a little book called
“Don’t” that the habit has become
epidemic. That well meant, but mis-
chievous, publication was an epitome
of every error in morals and man uers
one could possibly make, and was a
handy manual for the woman who says
“don’t. 77
Like all otherbad habits, the don’t
habitcreeps upon one unawares. The
victim of it is not generally a reason-
ing being. She does not say "don’t”
because she thinks a thing is wrong or
unwise. Whatever is, is wrong, in her
pessimistic theory, and she enters a
general protest against life.
“7e all known her. and we all avoid
her as far as possible. She corrects our
grammar. She interposes her eternal
don’t to the plans of the committees
who are unfortunate enough to be as-
Sociated with her, and is the moral irri-
tant that keeps the community stirred
up. Oftener than not she has no plan
to offer to the one to which she Objects.
She has just fallen into the “don’t”
habit.
In her own house she is the disturb:
ing spirit, and peace and comfort fly at
her approach. Her children are rep?
rimanded all day long. Innocent
amusements and harmful pursuits come
alike under her ban. It is always
“don't." "don’t," until wearied with
its monotonous iteration they escape
from it into the street,anywhere away
from home, at the earliest possible mo-
ment. ‘ ‘
Her husband fares no better. He is
met at the door with an avalanche of
don’ts. “Don't hang your hat there.”
“Don’t put your head on the best sofa
cushion.” “Don’t carve the roast from
that side.” "Don’t smoke in the par-
lors" "Don’t leave your paper on the
floor." It is as maddening‘as the con-
stant dripping of a little water.
To say the least oflsikt, there‘is a cer-
tain unlovely vanity i’n‘ arrOgating to
oneself the right to say “don’t” to
others. With childr’en, of course, the
Mother's restraining command must be
frequent, but let not the power be
abused. ' ‘
There are so many unnecessary
“don’t”—little things that seem too in-
significant to count one way or the
other, to a grown person, but that to a
child are mountain heights of rapture,
and sad indeed is the lot of the little
one who finds every pass to pleasure
barrel with a mother’s “don’t.”
No fault could be more disagreeable
than that of the constant objector. It
is like a continual pin prick on a sensi-
tive nerve. It is a dash of cold wate,
on enthusiastic and hopeful plans.
Under its blighting influence friend-
ship fades, and family affection withers
away. If you have found the don’t
habit add a. last don’t to it, and don’t
say don’t to everything. '

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, bladderand
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 upon receipt of three two-
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,

prietors of this paper guarantee the
