We should train ourselves to see the good things, the bright things of life There are few habits more common. even among Christians, than this of seeing and remembering unpleasant things and being blind to and forget- ting the pleasant things, and there is; no 'habit which is more lnlmlcal to cheerfulness. The truth ls, there are in lthe ordi- nary life a thousand pleasant things to one that is unpleasant. It is a shame, therefore, to let the one rough- ness ofOpain spoil for us all the glad- ness of a thousand good things, the one discordant note mar for us all the music of the grand symphony.— Forward.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it‘stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also cen- vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT 10 DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheuma- tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor. wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high- est for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

The story is 'told of a missionary who was laboring to convert a China man, who found himself confronted by a question from the heathen, in this wise: “You think you know every- thing. Tell me, then, why you wear‘ those ,two superfluous buttons on the back of your coat?” Many who sup- pose that the buttonsin question were used to support the sword belt are in like manner nonplussed, as the prac- tice of wearing a sword from the waist belt is comparatively recent; formerly, the'sword belt crossed the right shoulder, as it is still worn in some uniforms, particularly that of the Scottish Highlanders. The two buttons, in fact, were used to button back the skirts of the long frock coats formerly worn by men, and corres. pondingbutton holes or loops occu~ pied the corners of the said skirts.
