The blizzard of the last few days
has caused great damage and played
havoc in different sections of the
country. Business in Philadelphia
has been completely paralyzed, and
miles of telephone and telegraph lines
has been wrecked. New York has
also suffered severely. Economy in
street cleaning has been swept to the
winds and instead of $o,ooo, which
the city first hesitated to spend it is
now estimated that the removal of the
snow will cost the city between SBO,-
aoo and SIOO,OOO owing to the great
drifting.

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. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention THE COLUMBIAN
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

Raw Beef f-r Oonsunptives.
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.

KAISEB OONFEBBES.
Charles O. 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.
