Kidney and Liver fills. Seventeen
years ago I began the use of this
medicine, when my back was so bad
that to stoop or rise was torture to
me. The kidneys were in bad eon•

PYTHON ON A GUNBOAT.
et r
Merry Time Followed When Hugs
Snake Got Loose on Shipboard.
Olive when the Iirlti4h gunboat' fiat-
tier VMS in eastern waters the crew
had n lively time looking after a
python on board that got loose.
Resides the python there was on
board a big Bernet, orangoutang. The
python which ss ae nuteteen pr twenty
feet in length, having dined heartily
on a deer about three weeks before,
began to feel its appetite returning,
end tit searching about Is box for a
pluco of ('gross found one aid° in bad
repair. It did not take the python
long to conte through the weak part,
and quite unobserved, it began its
perambulati•.'ns around the boat.
Seeing the orangoutang t haint'l up
a few yards off, the big snake•invit-
tel itself to a dinner very touch to its
taste. It would havo been till over
with the orangoutang had not the
quartermaster at that inornent made
the discovery that the two pets were
about tee bo merged into one.
The latter Wes up tho masthead be-
fore o enYli1s(tet could be done,
and
a lieutenant, the proprietor of the
orangoutang, the quartermaster and
a member of the crew flung them-
selves upon the hungry python—one a
the head, another at the tail and a
third in the middle.
Then the fun began, says Harper's
Weekly, for the python wanted to poet
one of the aggressors nicely in its
coils, and tho men wero detertnined it
should bo kept out in something as
nearly approaching a straight line as
possible.
For a minute: it was the Laocoon
group all over again only in this caro
the three Ilion and the snake were
sprawling over tho dock instead of
standing upright in a classic attitude.
Reinforcements, however, arrived in
hot haste, and about twenty blue-
jackets, each embracing n foot of
python, reduced the reptile to com-
parative quiescence. The procession
marched back to the python's box,
coiled the creature inside, and shut

A Lost Book.

book they should continuo• great ane

greatness would depart from theta
One day the book was carelessly left
lying outside n tent, where a bulk,rk
found and devoured it. From that 11

of disease or 18 killed his entrails ar -
religiously examined to see if err:.
trace of the book can be found. I!
found they believe they should r
cover their lost power.
His Sarcasm Was Lost.
In his early days nt the hat th
Inn Lord Bowen prosecuted a prison-
er who had been caught in a hon•'•
at night crawling downstairs with 1.
boots off and carrying portable pr ;

on the thoughtfulness of the prison- r
in removing his shoes, thus disturb-
ing nobody, and in selecting only
solid silver nrtie.es from the plate
basket. so that the family had enough
forks and spoons left for breakfast.
The jury were so impressed with
these extenuatin • circumstance! that
they acquitted tic prisoner. Bowen
never employed irony 8gnin when ad-
dressing a jury.—London Spectator.

ing:
'No. I'll go dirty first.'
"The New Mexican added that,
:titer he got his lunch. he tipped the

" '\\'ell, what do you want?' said
the New Mexican savagely.
'"A few coppers, air--accnrdin' to
the usual custom. sir,' the boy pant-

' 'Why, what did you do?' snarled
the New Mexican.
" '11 you please. sir.' Said the boy,
