Kidney diseases may be prevented by purifying, renewing, and invigontini: the blood with Ayer's Sarsnparilla. "When . through debility, the action of the kidneys is perverted, these organs rob the blood of Its needed constituent, albumen, which i passed off in the urine, while worn out matter, which they should carry off from the blood, is allowed to remain. By the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the kidney-ar- e restored to proper action, and Albu- minuria, or Bright's Disease is prevented. Ayer' Sarsaparilla aKo prevents inflammation of the kidneys, and other disorders of thee organ. Mrs. Jas. W.'Wehl, Forest Hill t., Jamaica Tlain. Mas., write: "1 Iiae had a complica- tion of dieae. but my greatest trouble nas been with my kidney. Four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla made me feel like a new person; as well and strong as ever." "W. M. McDonald, 46 Summer St.. Boston, Mass., had been troubled for years with Kidney Complaint. By the ue of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, he not only Prevented the disease from assuming a fatal form, but was restored to perfect health. John McLellan, cor. Bridge and Third sts.. Lowell, Mass., writes: ''For several years I suffered from Dyspepsia and Kidney Complaint, the latter being so severe at times that I could scarcely attend to my work. My appetite was poor, and T was much emaciated; but by using AYER'S Sarsaparilla my appetite and digestion improved, and my health has been perfectly restored." Sold by all Druggists.

President Lincoln once said that the two things in this world which most resemble each other in attractions and in effects are whisky and office. No truer comparison was ever made. A man who know not the delights of of-lin- e, like one who has never felt the in- fluence of liquor, finds no fault with an obcure. soberexistence: but let him on e taste the sweets ot official life, and. like' the youth who for the first time experiences the hilarious senaa-- t on of the cup. he will regard h:s fo iuer mode of living a insipid Ann unbearable. This fact explains the trange tenacity with which luen who have been in the public service cling to government employment, even when thrir interest- - are in other directions. They prefer a salary of two or three thousand dollars a year, with a petty otlice. to five times that amount inthe. obscurity of private life. There are now on Vile at the Post-offi- ce Depart- ment a number of application for rneager-alarie- d Postnia-tershi- ps by who can not ret co'itent out of office, though the r business or professions ie!d them large e. Some of these papers are couched in pitiful term, which would nol ill become the pet tion of an exile who earns for hs native soil. It would be impossible to inllie a greater injury on a r sing oung lawyer or merchant than to send him to Congress and then not keep him there for life. He can never resume his occupation with uc-- e s. The office instinct once implant- ed in his m ml, will crop out every time an office is to be tilled and will render liim incapable of -- enot:s attention to hi bu-ino- ss. He will probably become in the end a chronic office-seeke- r, a ward polit.ciau or even a member of the Legislature. Constituencies should jonder well the responsibility' they as-Mi- when they select new repreenta--t vis in Congress. The" Iiould bear in mind that they are transplanting ten- der plant- - into a richer soil and that when these nlants have taken root .n the trop'cal climate of the capital tliey cannot without damage ordestruetiou, be removed to the less genial dime whence the- - came. Better leave them in the r native earth or make their re- moval permanent. Dur ng the lat session of Congress1 there was considerable comment about the number of who were -- ecu on the floor of the House. The-- e were for the Miost part those who were knocked off their feet by the tidal wave of ix: and who were etill quite dazed by the suddenness of the thing. It was pitiful to watch their features as they wandered from seat to seat, receiving condolence- - and affecting a jollity tliey were far from feeling. One would think that revisiting the scenes of past glory only add- - pa n to mi-fortu- but these seemed to find a melan- choly happiness in viewing the lielu of their wordv exploits and even contem- plating the chairs which they once oc- cupied. Several have permanently in Washington, after vain attempts at in the'r district-- -, and are seemingly lia;py to be near the gates of the official para-d.-- e which they are not permitted to enter. Others spend the greater part of the Congressional year at the cap. til. drifting about the public building- - in .he hope that somcting may turn up, all the while neglecting their private bu- - ness and perhaps running In o deb'. A few of these quondam legis- lators are ever begging. clerks h J s on th. Committees of Congress or places m the departments anything in fact, that savor of public office. Can whisky show any sadder effects? Could a temperance speaker demonstrate tiie ev 1 result- - of drinking in a more -- tnking way than by comparing them w th the ba'ieful influence of office? Iu what glow ng color could he paint the .pn-tiii- y of a bright oung man. eld- ing at tir- -t to the teniptat on of a local office -- a trusteeship, or perhap- - the Mavoraltv ot hs 1 ttle p.wn. then the gradual descent down the ladder of degradation from muuic pal office to the Mate Legislature and from Leg to Congress -- showing at each stage the correspond ng e lei ts of in- temperance on a man"- - career.

Thia system ot communication bv telegraph and tele- phone, now rapidly approaching com- pletion, is, as far at any rate as the telephone is concerned, the growth- - of onlv the lat few vears. for it was in the early parj of 1880 thai the Edison Com- pany gratuitously established tele- phonic communication between the B, C, and J) districts and headquarters.

I'MnrComkiii Magazine " THE CREMATORIUM AT MILAN. A Detcrlptloa of the Method or ludMrar tion Enpluyrd There. The crematorium stands at the far end of the grounds, a building not large or high, but with its crescent-shape- d open atrium of white marble sufficiently handsome and imposing. On the frieze is this inscription: Tem-pi- o o per volonta del Albert Keller ertttoe do nata alia cittadi Milano. On the wall facing the entrance is a haud-oiu- e medallion of Albert Keller, who was duh cremated in the temple of hi- - own providing. Many portions of the wall are marked off in small tablets inscribed with the names of the persons whose bodies have undergone cremation, and whose ashes, in many cases, repose in an urn or small vessel in a niche behind the tablet. Ashes they are not. properly speaking. I was shown about a couple of bandfuls of white bleached bone.iu bits not larger than one's linger all that remained, as--I learned.- - after th"e cremation of the body of a man some ten stones in weight. Other spaces have been ap- propriated by intending cremators, and have the word "Assegnato"' inscribed on them. Through a small door you pass from the atrium into what I may describe as the operating room, in the middle of which stands the enclosed furnace, looking like an enlarged edition of the family laundry copper. The lire is kindled at the back of the furnace, and when at the proper mo- ment released by the uplifting of iron shutters, comes roaring through two large orifices, and quickly fills the whole of the where lies its prey. The body iV cadacero. as the attend- ant called it, seeming to take great delight in repeating the word dressed in a light linen or woolen shroud or rather costume. ii taken from the shell in which it has been brought, and laid on a marble slab, thence transferred to a large iron tray, which is borne to the mouth of the" furnace and laid on a frame, which, by the actiou of a winch, is wound into the interior with its burden. The iron door is then clo-e- d. the shut- ters, a- - described above, are raised, and the furnace, to u-- e an American expre ion. is literally in full blast. At the'end of two hours the operation is complete, and all that there remains of what was once a man. full of "blood, bones, marrow, passion, feeling," an "Two handful of white dust -- hut in an uru of bras- - " The system at present in use is that of Paola ('orini: it takes, as I have said, two hours and the consumption of three hundred kilogrammes of wood and twenty-fiv- e kilogrammes of char- coal.

In this place. which was perfectly clean and wholesome, without the faintest trace of auything calcu- lated to offend the sense of sight or smell, there are about eighteen or twenty ca-- es of cremation every month. They are, the attendant told me, de- cidedly on the increase, and were the cholera scare again to appear, he had uo doubt, from what he bad heard. that the practice would have large num- bers of adherents. Already bodies for cremation are sent from distant part of Italy, and ou the next dav one was expected from Paris. And. indeed, when I thought of all the horrors of our ordinary bur.ing. I could not wonder at the de-ir- e to be quit of them, no matter at wha amount of trouble or expense. J.onaon World. NATURAL HISTORY. Its Study anil I'umuit Healthjr and In- structive Occupation. There is no doubt that in England. as well as in France and Germanv. the collecting of moths is a very general recreation as compared with the United States. That it is harmless Ls a nega- tive praise; that a pursuit of its objects i healthful, and take the man who works in the city out into the fresh country air. is a po-iti- ve recommenda- tion. But the labor is also instructive. Things have not changed very much since the days of Malpighi, and biology is a respected and necessary study. And throughout the world of animated beings it may be safely said that the growth and changes of life can no- where be so easily and pleasantly ob- served as in the rearing of butterflies and moths from the eg. As to but- terflies, it may be asserted that they are less interesting than their cousin's the moths, who constitute the elder branch of the great natural group of scaly-wing- ed insects, or LepidojAera, to which both belong. The butterflies are le.-- s numerous in species, or kinds, and more uniform in habit and appear- ance. These gaudy and papery-- w inged day-fli- es have their own attractions and present their own scientific problems, but in number, diversity, soft and deli- cate colors, and patterns and unex- pected modes of life, they can not hold a candle, to speak both figuratively and appositely, to the foolish but lovely moths. 'Prof. A. R. Grute, in Popular Science Monthly. The Sandal-Woo- d of Japan. Passing by a shop you see cords of wood cut into small blocks about six inches long. This you learn is nothing short of shoe-timbe- r. These cords of wood will speedily be converted into shoes of various sizes, 'at prices rang- ing ail the way from four to twenty cents. One feels quite exalted in a pair of twenty cent shoes. The wood is called kiri, and is very light The clogs are still further lightened by hollowing out the center. So, in point of fact, there is little truth in calling the shoes heavy, although they appear so to the inexperienced observer. It must be admitted, though, that they are unreasonably clumsy. Sometimes the shoes worn by the ladies an lacquered, and are fastened by a velvet band passing from either side over th lower part of the instep, and between the first and second toes. With this same kind of wood is made bureaus provided with strong iron handles, and the whole box is adjustable in hori- zontal sections, one piled above an- other. Owing to the lightness of the wood thc--e boxes may be filled with clothing and carried off on the shoulders of the coolie in case of fires, which so often vex the people of Tokio.

They encourage too many men to be false to the Union. A fifty-doll- ar ring may not typify the depth of the love that 'presents it, but it may tell a tale of tcrriole strain upon the pocket that pays for it Fall JtiverAdvance. If one have business across the water, it is all right, or if he goes for improvement to mind or body; but this going abroad merely for the sake of bragging about it is a broad farce. Uoiton Post.

All right, old son, just watch my mo- tion while I file myself away." At this juncture he was desired tc turn over hi revolver to the porter, which he declined to do in a very spit-ite- d manner. Old Dad' (his revolver) and me al- ways sleep together, andwedon't warn no divorce.' he explained. The conductor remonstrated, but was advi-e- d not to trv to "bra'd this muleV tail." "Thw here's a slepin' car, ain't it?'' he at length inquired. "Ye.'r "Well. whv don't you let people sleep then, whei they've paid and gone into your ganio?

The porter drew near and was handed a pillow about as big as a pin cu-hio- n. "Take that gooseha'r thing aV2y.' commanded tl.e cowboy. "Don't you want a pillow, sah?" aked the porter. "That ain't no pillow, and I don't want it nohow: I'm afraid it'll get in my ear." After this, silence, and for a short time I slept. I' roused up. however, at an exclamation on the part of my neighbor. "Hold on there, my son, jist drap them boots.' "I was only jest gwine to black 'em, boss." "Drap "em." They drapped. "Jest gwine to pull them spurs, i reckon. Now. don't monkey around my camp, taking things no more. If ou want anything, speak for it. If you can't speak make sign, and if you can't make signs shake a bush. You h'ar me?" "Yes, sah." After this, silence. The wheels and rails again sang together, and the car again kept approving time, and pres- ently I slept without interruption. Rocky Mountain Sews. WOMEN'S HEALTH.

They always know how to do and say the proper thing, and while the'r .courtesy and good manners are said to be only siin deep, they are the most charming of com- panions, the most generous of hosts, and the mon polite of gentlemen. No laborer ever pases a lady in the street without lifting his hat. and he always, touches that always dirty and gener" ally dilapidated portion of his apparel when a gentleman passes him. If a lady approaches a group of racu dig- - ring a cellar, repa r.ng the street, or what not. even though ome of them may be half naked, they always saluto her respectfully, and in the rural ais-tri- ct no oue ever meets you w.thout raying "Slav God prosper the object of your journey." or "May heaven' smile upon our errand.' or something ia Spanish like that- - -- Tim same ma wilt' swindle you out of your ee teeth if he gct :i chance, and it vou ak him liow far it " to the next place he will un- doubtedly tell vou a fal-ehoo- d.

THE CHARMS OF OFFICE.

Who Can find No HsppUnr Out or Official Life.

President Lincoln once said that thetwo things in this world which mostresemble each other in attractions andin effects are whisky and office. Notruer comparison was ever made. Aman who know not the delights of of-lin- e,

like one who has never felt the in-

fluence of liquor, finds no fault withan obcure. soberexistence: but let himon e taste the sweets ot official life,and. like' the youth who for the firsttime experiences the hilarious senaa-- t

on of the cup. he will regard h:sfo iuer mode of living a insipid Annunbearable. This fact explains thetrange tenacity with which luen who

have been in the public service clingto government employment, even whenthrir interest- - are in other directions.They prefer a salary of two or threethousand dollars a year, with a pettyotlice. to five times that amount inthe.obscurity of private life. There arenow on Vile at the Post-offi- ce Depart-ment a number of application forrneager-alarie- d Postnia-tershi- ps by

who can not ret co'itentout of office, though the r business orprofessions ie!d them large e.

Some of these papers arecouched in pitiful term, which wouldnol ill become the pet tion of an exilewho earns for h s native soil. It wouldbe impossible to inllie a greater injuryon a r sing oung lawyer or merchantthan to send him to Congress and thennot keep him there for life. He cannever resume his occupation with uc-- e

s. The office instinct once implant-ed in his m ml, will crop out every timean office is to be tilled and will renderliim incapable of -- enot:s attention tohi bu-ino- ss. He will probably becomein the end a chronic office-seeke- r, award polit.ciau or even a member ofthe Legislature. Constituencies shouldjonder well the responsibility' they as-Mi-

when they select new repreenta--tvis in Congress. The" Iiould bear in

mind that they are transplanting ten-der plant-- into a richer soil and thatwhen these nlants have taken root .nthe trop'cal climate of the capital tlieycannot without damage ordestruetiou,be removed to the less genial dimewhence the- - came. Better leave themin the r native earth or make their re-

moval permanent.Dur ng the lat session of Congress1

there was considerable comment aboutthe number of who were-- ecu on the floor of the House. The-- e

were for the Miost part those who wereknocked off their feet by the tidal waveof ix: and who were etill quite dazedby the suddenness of the thing. It waspitiful to watch their features as theywandered from seat to seat, receivingcondolence- - and affecting a jollity tlieywere far from feeling. One would thinkthat revisiting the scenes of past gloryonly add- - pa n to mi-fortu- but these

THE CREMATORIUM AT MILAN.A Detcrlptloa of the Method or ludMrar

end of the grounds, a building notlarge or high, but with its crescent-shape- d

Many portionsof the wall are marked off in smalltablets inscribed with the names of thepersons whose bodies have undergonecremation, and whose ashes, in manycases, repose in an urn or small vesselin a niche behind the tablet. Ashesthey are not. properly speaking. Iwas shown about a couple of bandfulsof white bleached bone.iu bits not largerthan one's linger all that remained, as--I

learned.-- after th"e cremation of thebody of a man some ten stones inweight. Other spaces have been ap-

propriated by intending cremators, andhave the word "Assegnato"' inscribedon them. Through a small door youpass from the atrium into what I maydescribe as the operating room, in themiddle of which stands the enclosedfurnace, looking like an enlargededition of the family laundry copper.The lire is kindled at the back of thefurnace, and when at the proper mo-

NATURAL HISTORY.Its Study anil I'umuit Healthjr and In-

as well as in France and Germanv. thecollecting of moths is a very generalrecreation as compared with the UnitedStates. That it is harmless Ls a nega-tive praise; that a pursuit of its objectsi healthful, and take the man whoworks in the city out into the freshcountry air. is a po-iti- ve recommenda-tion. But the labor is also instructive.Things have not changed very muchsince the days of Malpighi, and biologyis a respected and necessary study.And throughout the world of animatedbeings it may be safely said that thegrowth and changes of life can no-where be so easily and pleasantly ob-served as in the rearing of butterfliesand moths from the eg. As to but-terflies, it may be asserted that theyare less interesting than their cousin'sthe moths, who constitute the elderbranch of the great natural group ofscaly-wing- ed insects, or LepidojAera,to which both belong. The butterfliesare le.--s numerous in species, or kinds,and more uniform in habit and appear-ance. These gaudy and papery-- w ingedday-fli- es have their own attractions andpresent their own scientific problems,but in number, diversity, soft and deli-cate colors, and patterns and unex-pected modes of life, they can not holda candle, to speak both figuratively andappositely, to the foolish but lovelymoths.

The Sandal-Woo- d of Japan.Passing by a shop you see cords of

wood cut into small blocks about sixinches long. This you learn is nothingshort of shoe-timbe- r. These cords ofwood will speedily be converted intoshoes of various sizes, 'at prices rang-ing ail the way from four to twentycents. One feels quite exalted in apair of twenty cent shoes. The woodis called kiri, and is very light Theclogs are still further lightened byhollowing out the center. So, in pointof fact, there is little truth in callingthe shoes heavy, although they appearso to the inexperienced observer. Itmust be admitted, though, that theyare unreasonably clumsy. Sometimesthe shoes worn by the ladies anlacquered, and are fastened by a velvetband passing from either side over thlower part of the instep, and betweenthe first and second toes. With thissame kind of wood is made bureausprovided with strong iron handles, andthe whole box is adjustable in hori-zontal sections, one piled above an-other. Owing to the lightness of thewood thc--e boxes may be filled withclothing and carried off on theshoulders of the coolie in case of fires,which so often vex the people of Tokio.

IN A SLEEPING CAR.

"Where do I camp?" he inquired,and was shown the lower berth next tome. "That's my pigeon-hol- e, is it?All right, old son, just watch my mo-

tion while I file myself away."At this juncture he was desired tc

turn over hi revolver to the porter,which he declined to do in a very spit-ite- d

manner.Old Dad' (his revolver) and me al-

ways sleep together, andwedon't warnno divorce.' he explained.

The conductor remonstrated, but wasadvi-e- d not to trv to "bra'd this muleVtail."

"Thw here's a slepin' car, ain't it?''he at length inquired.

"Ye.'r"Well. whv don't you let people

"Sav. ou bov!" to the porter"WelL'sah."""Come a runnin'."The porter drew near and was

handed a pillow about as big as a pincu-hio- n.

"Take that gooseha'r thing aV2y.'commanded tl.e cowboy.

"Don't you want a pillow, sah?"aked the porter.

"That ain't no pillow, and I don'twant it nohow: I'm afraid it'll get inmy ear."

After this, silence, and for a shorttime I slept. I' roused up. however,at an exclamation on the part of myneighbor.

"Hold on there, my son, jist drapthem boots.'

"I was only jest gwine to black 'em,boss."

"Drap "em."They drapped."Jest gwine to pull them spurs, i
