LEARN MOKE TRADES- It may sound just a little startling, but it is said to be true that more young men are learning trades in penitentiaries than outside of them, because the parents are trying to make clerks, doctors, lawyers, and even preachers out of material intended for blacksmiths, carpenters and other trades for mechanics. The trouble is that boys are too eager to avoid the labor of life, and too anxious to follow some calling that does not soil their hands. No one but the parent is responsible for this. Boys should be taught that there is more dignity in manual labor han in loafing, and more honor in toil than in independ ence. The farm and the shop olten yield more profit than the office or counter. ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one ot two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or diseases, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and ex traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

For a period ol more than a dozen years Toshua Hepford, a dry goods clerk residing on Spruce street, has eatcu raw meat, at least a pound and a half of it each day, for the sake of his health. By this strange dieting he lias developed from a consumptive young fe"ow into as robust a man as is to be found behind the counters of the big stcre in which he works. He apparently had not long to live when an experimenting doctor gave him the meat prescription. At first, as can well be imagined, it was distasteful to him, and it was especially so in his case because he had always been fastidious about his meals. He would have steaks cut up into fine hash and bolt it without looking. The treat ment soon made its' effect apparent, and as Hepford improved in bodily condition and spirits under the treat ment, he gained an appetite for chunks of uncooked flesh. 11l less than a year from the beginning it was a positive pleasure for him to devour it. He has on occasion eaten as much as five pounds in a day. Fat, however, he does not care about. Ordinarily he confines himself to eat ing beef, mutton aLd chicken, but in the height of winter he indulges in a little pork.— Philadelphia Record.

Kaiser, convicted of the murder of his wife Emma Kaiser, near Norristown last September, has made a confession, in which he admitted having conspired with James A. Clemmer to commit the crime, but places all the blame for having fired the fatal shot on Clemmer, who is now in the county jail, at that place, awaiting trial for his alleged share in the crime. Lizzie DeKalb, the "woman in black" who is also under arrest charged with being implicated in the mmder, is, according to Kaiser's con fession, innocent of any knowledge of their puipose to kill Mrs. Kaiser. Kaiser in his confession says that he never had any intention of doing away with his wife until after he had heard that she was untrue to him. Previous to that time he says he had always loved her. As soon as he was told that she was untrue to him, he lost all love for her, and when after ward he met Clemmer in Philadelphia, he it was who tempted him to enter into a scheme to get rid of Mrs. Kaiser.
