Pain in the back l an almost infallible lp;n of kidney disease; a surer ign ia the condition of yoururine. If you taava a jiain in the back, then look to the con dition of your urine. It is easily done. Take a glass or tumbler and fill it with urine; after it has stood 4 hours, if it has a pediment, if it is milky or cloudy. If it is pale or discolored, stringy or ropy. your kidneys and bladder are in a dan gerous condition and need immediate at tention, or the consequences may prove fatal. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the one medicine that really cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver. bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep sia and chronic constipation, and it will take you but a short trial to convince yourself of its wonderful curative power.

NEW SYSTEM OF TELEGRAPHY, vrKti Morel Feature hr Which BO, OOO Words an Hoar Are Transmitted. At a recent test in (lermany of the Pollak- iraff system of telegraphy speed of 50,000 words an hour was at tained. In transmitting, this system like other fast sterns, uses a strip of paper previously punched with holes representing dots nnd dashes. The most novel feature of the system the method of receiving, says on elee tricol paper. The incoming electric impulses cause a thin strip of metal resembling a telephone diaphragm, to vibrnte and thus move n tiny mirror at tached thereto. A slender beam of light from an incandescent. light falls upon the mirror, and is reflected hence to a strip of photographically sensitive pnper, which is steadily un rolled by clock work when messa pes come. Chemicals for "development being applied, the paper exhibits n con tiniiouv dark line, with upward pro fectiontt for dashes and downward ones for dots. The mespape must then be deciphered nnd the translation must be written out. I,Dfrnftrea pnltn In rtilenao. In a pamphlet entitled "A Sketch of the Linguistic Conditions of Chicago,' Prof C. I.
