Vs., says: "Driving about In bad -weather brought kidney troubles on me, and I suffered twenty years with sharp, cramping pains in the back and urin ary disorders. I often had to get up a dozen times at night to url- I note. Retention set I in, and I was obliged I to use the catheter. I took to my bed, and the doctors failing to help, began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The urine soon tame freely again, and the pain grad ually disappeared.

"A beautiful girl and her mother," he said, "were discussing the eternal marriage question. " 'Well, there's Charles Adams', murmered the mother, thqughfullT, after a long pause. " 'Charles Adams!' sneered the girl. He Is old, he is tiftly, he is mean, he is a coward. Charles Adams! Why, he has nothing, nothing in the world to recommend him except his wealth.'

F supreme captains of the world there are but six or 6eveff, and scarce one among them exhibits genius in Its healthiest colors. In ambush for nearly all of them Borne form of nerve disorder lurks. Grotesque as the statement seems, epilespy, manifest In greater or in less degree, revolves up on their destinies. Charlemagne, the great and wise cap tain ot the Franks, who stands for feudal civilization, who "snatched from darkness all the lands he conquered," and who reared an empire that no hand but his was able to con trol, Is almost the sole exception. What says the bead-roll? At thirty-two Alexander the Great, who had reckoned himself a god, died during, or Just after, one of his frenetic orgies. Caesar, the foremost man of the ancient world, had strange convulsions in his later years, and it may be that the dagger of Brutus saved him from declining into madness. Marlbor ough, who was married to a violent woman, and whose only son died in boy hood, was epileptic during his ten last years of life. The adventurous and daring Clive, world famous and the conqueror of India, at forty was decidedly a neuropath. Clive was passionate, morbid, gouty, and an opium eater. At forty-nine, rich and of unstinted reputation, he committed suicide. Welling ton was distinctly epileptic. His fainting fits after Waterloo were frequent, and it was an attack of epilepsy that carried him off. The Romanoffs have been neuropathic for nearly three centuries, nnd one of the epileptic fits ot Peter the Great is "said to have lasted three days." Charles V., whose mother was Insane, had fits in his youth, and was gouty, bald nnd scrofulous. Fred erick the Great (from the face of whose father, when he took a walk, says Macaulay, "every human being fled"), reared in a perfect inferno of a palace, had a certain general unsoundness of mind, to which mercy was altogether foreign. The stock of Oliver Cromwell was not overhealthy, and of the neuro pathic tendencies of the Protector himself there is sufficient evidence. Ma hometbut let Mahomet rest. Joan of Arc, the divine girl-woman, seer and soldier, who came from her sheeptolds of Lorraine to make victorious the orl flamme of France, Joan heard voices and saw visions, and was kissed, she said, by the celestials. The Endless Life s s By Samuel McChord Crothers. B ! I'T the time comes when there is something m-e. And ot the dust there emerges a creature whose existence in the material world is nothing short of a miracle. Connect him as closely as you may with all that went before, and yet the amazing fact remains that his being carries him into an- H other pphere which transcends the familiar road physical I causation. His language is strange in this world of law. If it only a chance concourse of atoms, organized into a brain, as yesterday they may have been organized into the weeds of the roadside, from which comes the confident voice: I love, I hope, I wor ship eternal beauty. I offer myself in obedience to a perfect law of righteous ness, I gladly suffer that others may be saved, I resist the threatening evil that I see, I choose not the easy way, but the difficult way, my will shall not yield to circumstances, but only to a higher will. Molecules, however organized, do not naturally thus utter themselves. Chemical reactions are not thus expressed. There are no equivalents for this new power in the mechanical forces. Are we not compelled to say, "We are In the presence of a new and high er kind of energy. The stupendous fact Is the existence of a living will. Out of a universe purposeless fore there comes a purposeful will devoted to abso lute good." Can that be true? Our instinct for orderly causation does not allow the statement to pass unchallenged. A universe out of which there emerges a living will cannot be purposeless. In the light of the living will the history of the past must be written, and this newly revealed force throws a penetrating light into the future. Here is something that has an eternal meaning: O living will that shnlt endure When all that seems shall suffer shock. The Allan tic. no w the. Cossacks First Came to America By Jignes C. Laut ILJ ONG before Peter the Great had sent Vitus Bering to Amer ica, in 1741, Russian voyagers had launched out east and north with a daredevil recklessness that would have done honor to prehistoric man. That part of their adventures Is record that exceeds the wildest darings of fiction. Their boats were called kotches. They were some sixty feet long, flat-bottomed, planked with green timber. Not a nail was used. Where were nails to come from six thousand miles across the frozen tundras? Indeed, Iron was bo scarce that at a later day, when ships with nails ventured on these seas, natives were de tected diving below to pull the nails from the timbers with their teeth. In stead of nails, the Cossacks used reindeer thongs to bind the planking togeth er. Instead of tar, moss nnd clay and the tallow of sea animals calked the seams. Needless to say, there was neither canvas nor rope. Reindeer thongs supplied the cordage, reindeer hides the sails. On such rickety craft, "with the help of God and a little powder," the Russian voyagers hoisted sail and put to sea. On Just such vessels did Deshnoff and Staduchln attempt to round Asia from the Arctic into Bering sea (1047-50). To be sure, the first bang of the Ice-floes against the prow of the rickety boats knocked them into kindling wood. Two-thirds of the Cossack voyagers were lost every year; and often all news that came of the crew was a mast pole washed in by the tide, with a dead man lashed to the crosstrees. Small store of fresh water could be carried. Pine-needles were the only antidote for scurvy; and many a time the boat came tumbling back to the home port, not a man well enough to stand before the mast. Harper's Magazine, United States f?w- unuea j lazes -vs Army is Too Small j By F. L. Huidekoper. O nation in the entire history of the world Has y?t neglected its military strength without ultimately paying the penalty. France was the foremost military power from 1S00 to 1812, and again in 18(10, and Russia was presumed to be invinci ble less than three years ago. Yet we all know what ter rible humiliation France underwent in 1S70-1S71 and what defeats Russia has Just suffered. Do we fondly Imagine that we are going to escape the consequences, when, in actual fact, we are not one whit better prepared for war than they were? We have gone on entirely too long laboring under a grave delusion, and giving a new version to the old proverb so as to make it read, "The Lord takes care of babes, fools and the United States!" We have become a "world power," with duties and responsibilities which we never have had before. We have rich possessions upon which other nations naturally look with covetous eyes; we have a great country whose prosperity is unexampled. Unless we are strong enough to hold the one and to protect the other, our day of reckon ing la sure to come. North American Review.

The pronunciation of "Iowa" is causing considerable discussion these days. At the first annual banquet of the Iowa society of New York an of ficial pronunelqniento was issued in favor of "Ioway." Tho matter has been complicated, however, by the various and picturesque methodB em ployed by senators who have frequent occasion to use the word these days. The stellar parts played by Senators Allison and Dolllvcr In the proceed ings on the railroad-rate bill make reference to the "senator from Iowa" frequent. Senator Tillman ln vhrlably calls the State "Eyeoway." Senator Teller Bays "Eeowa," with a long "o." Senator Overman uses as his favorite "Eyeowa." Senator Bai ley's version Is the most musical. He dwells on and emphasize the second syllable, the "o" long, thus "I-o-wa." The native son begs the question by simply calling It the best Btnte In the Union and letting the pronuncia tion go hang. Des Moines Register and Leader. A Chained Library. U'lmhourne, Ireland, Is noted for many things, but Its famous chained library Is, perhaps, the most notable of Its curiosities. The library pos sesses unique Interest, as being one of the earliest attempts to dissemin ate knowledge among ' the people. The collection was made, accessible to the people In 1080 and numbers some 200 volumes. The scarcity of books and the value of tho collection are both Indicated in the care taken for their preservation, and especially ngalnst loss of uch treasures by theft. By means of chains and roda the books were securely fastened to the shelves and these chains, it is rather surprising to learn, were not renewed until 1S57. Among the in teresting works of the collection Is a copy of the first edition of Sir Wal ter Raleigh's "History of the World," 1C11. It has suffered from fire, and tradition says that Mathew Trior was responsible for Its present condition, the story being that he fell asleep while reading it once upon a time and the pages were burned by his candle.

A WOMAWS ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'8 QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs. Ptnkham, Lynn, Mass., and Eeoolvs Valuable Adrlos Absolutely Confidential and Vrsa There can be no mors terrible erdssl to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private Ula, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many continue to Suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease, Tli is is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre sponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her preat knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham enn advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Rend how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.T. C.Willndsen.of Manning, la. She writes: Dear Mrs. Piukhym: " I rati truly say that you have saved my life, nnd 1 cannot expreas my gratitude In words. Before.
