The justly celebrated kidney remedy, known throughout the land as SWAMP-ROOT, has already reached the largest sales of any kidney remedy in the world. And what is more this remedy has acquired its popularity and enormous sales, not by great advertising, but mainly through the reputation of tne cures which it has wrought.

The troops liked him exceedingly, but on the day he ordered the King and cabinet off the parade grounds because they got in the way there came near being a revolt among them. Lee was inexorable, if polite, and the King and the cabinet left without a word of protest. Thev always respected Leo for his action and treated him with great courtesy after ward.— Chicago Herald.

The receut earthquake in csntral anil northern California occasioned phenome nal results in Sonoma Count} - . On the Polpula Rannho of J. E. Poppe the ground was cracked and seamed in va rious places. From these narrow open ings in the earth large quantities of water of various temperatures have been gushing forth ever since. In some places the water is ire cold, while in others it is warm, reaching a temperature of 100 degrees. The Polpula Hancho has always been noted for its many springs, but the recent earthquake has opened up many new ones, some hot and some cold, and caused the old ones to gush forth ten times the auiouut of their previous flow. In town the flow of General Vallejo's artesian well has been increased about 100,000 gallons per twenty-four hours. On the Rhine farm of Jacob Grundlach is an artesian well which has always given but a meager supply of water. It was Grundlach's intention to resume boring operations on this next week, but the shake has caused the well to send forth a large supply of artesian water, and the idea of having it sunk deeper has been abandoned- On Captain Joye's farm, a short distance from the town,the flow of gas from his natural gas-well has been increased to a great extent, and a spring that has hitherto been cold has been converted into a basin of hot water. —Boston Transcript. A Blacksuakc Swallows a Rattler. A correspondent of the Timrs tells this interesting 6make story: A few days ago I sent two boys to the spring after water, and in a moment one of them came running back in a great fright, saying that lie saw a stinging rattlesnake with lattlers on his head and a horn on his tail, and one-half of the anake was black and the other half (potted. I went, with them to see the monster, and wheu we got there a blacksniikc about live feet long was swallowing a rattlesnake about two and a half feet long. The rattler was rat tling with all his might, while his colored brother was swallowing with all his power. Wo left them and went back in about an hour, and both were dead.— Clifton (Tenn.) Times.
