Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis-
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheorfulness soon
disappear when the kid-
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid-
neys. If the child urin-
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit a3
most people suppose,
Women as well as men are made mis-
erable .with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

A Senatorial View of Success.
The question is, what ia succosa
in lift ? writes United Stutos Sena-
tor Lindt-ay of Kentucky in Suc-
cess. If tho accumulation of
money is to bo regarded as suc-
cess, then the man who accumu-
lates the largest amount is, .if
course, the most successful man.
It is a very common idea that tho
acquisition of wealth means tho
equivalent of success. But the
who stands at the head of his pro-
fession, or of an honorable avoca-
tion, is certainly successful, too.
She men who, in addition to suc-
cess in business, or success in
their professional careers, accom-
plish the most in promoting the
common good and in raising char-
acter, are the real representatives
of success. In them the world at
largo has the greatest interest.
A genius is successful, in spito
of poverty. He seldom pucceeda
from the world's point of view, be-
cause. as a rule, ho lacks a degree
of selfish, and the temperament,
of aplication necessary to success.
A genious is very humane, very
attractive, and getieraly very
worthless, yet he adds much to
the sum of human happiness. Wo
forget his shortcomings, and re-
member only those trait* which
excite our admiration and feelingM
of kindly regad. What would the
world have been without burns'?
What is the world's definition of
suceessi It seems to me to be the
fulfilling of one's duty, or calling:
tho giving of a little more sunlight
and music; the benefiting of one,s
fellow men.
Ttiey Dread Innovations.
It seems to be a fact that behind
the ignorant hordes who are de-
stroying life and property in China
there stand the so-called scholar*
of tho Empire, inspiring and cn«
couring the Boxers in their work.
It is not at all remarkable that this
should be the case, for these men
have the strongest of personal mo-
tives for dreading the introduction
of foreign ideas, the very first ro-
sult of which will be the desposi-
tion of themselves from their posi-
tion* of official and social honor
and a complete revolution of the
Chinese standards of edaoatioo.
