Many Men and Women Are Troubled With Kidney Trouble, Some For Less Time, Some For Longer—No Need To Be Troubled For Any Length Of Time, If They Only Il"new Of The Cures Being Made By DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS • Backache Is The First Sign Of Kidney Trouble—Then Come Complications Of A More Serious Nature. DOT'S KIDNEY PILLS TAKEN AT THE FIRST SIGN OP BACKACHE WILL SAVE YOU YEARS OF MISERY. Mrs. William H. Banks, Torbrook Mines, N.S., tells the pub- lic about the great qualities of Doan's Kidney Pills in the following words;—I was troubled with kidney trouble for six months, and hud such terrible pains across zny kidneys all the time that I could hardly get around.

Evil temptations invariably are introduced to their victim in a seem- ingly harmless way. They seek your companionship at first as friends, and not as enemies. They do not approach you glaring and ':onvulsive]y working their claws .and leap at you, as the man eating monster night try to get at your throat when in all his fury ' he is caged in the zoological gardens of Calcutta. But temptations come to you at first with the soft fur and the purring salutation of the little kitten which might nestle in your lap. They come insidiously, as the cholera germs might reach yo'i wrapped in the beautiful garment which is sent to you from far-off India. They come with all the fra- grance .of the poisonous leaf which brings death to every creature that touches it. Dr. Cuyler once gave a wonderful description of one of the poisonous trees; aptly called the Judas tree. He said that the blos- soms of this tree are of a brilliant red. From far and near the fatal beauty of those flowers attracts the insects. Yet "every bee wandering in search of honey that alights upon the blossoms imbibes a fatal opiate and drops to the earth. Be- neath this enticing tree the earth •is, strewn with the victims .of .: its fatal fascination." That fatal plant is a vivid symbol of the way deadly sin, first appeals to its victims. Sin in the beginning fascinates the eyes Sae with the brightest • of- -floral.. Colors. It fascinates' the ear as with. the. sweetest 'of harmonies., It soothes the sense of touch as with the velvety softness of a tiger's paw, while beneath is concealed the sharp claw. It first wooes 4 t victim to pillow his head upon the lap of a beautiful Delilah, and while the sinner sleeps his lips are parted in a smile as he dreams the happiest of dreams. HOW TEMPTATION COMES. "Sin is a sweet poison," once wrote Anthony Burgess. "It tick- th while it stabbeth. The first hing it does is to bewitch, then o put 'out the eyes, then to take way the sense of feeling." It is hen the temptation is concealed d hidden among attractive sur- oundings i hat it has its greatest anger. The mighty furred bruin of re Rocky mountains is not caught y the steel trap lying unconcealed the opened pathway. He sham - les along, sniffsit, pushes` it aside ith his paw; moves round. it or caps over it, but when, that trap 'is onceake' under the gree: grass a. loft distance from the tempting eat then the nrountnen hear has eed to fear. No sooner Is the reat paw placed • upon that harm - ss looking severing than the- steel' oth of that trap spring shut. The assive limb is held in a vise. and he great beast is as helpless as the murderer about to be executed in e prison yard.

STRIKES THE WEAKEST POINT. Evil temptations always assail their victims atm their weakest points. Is there any man foolish enough to think that his character is so perfectly formed that there is no weak point in his moral armor ? A constructor who would not try to strengthen his sagging girder is a criminal. Awful was the catastro- lire when a few years ago a great bridge across the river Seine broke under the feet of the multitudes merely because one of the iron links snapped. Poor is the general who would not 'be. vigilant about.: the weakest peet' of his fortificatic,ns. It was after the famous mine 'was exploded 'under 'the earthworks of Petersburg that the Federal teoops were able to drive back Robert E. Lee's forces into Richxtadhd. can it be that with ail your brain and force and past experience you do not realize there is some help- lessness, some weakness, in , your nature ? Have you never been tempted in the„ -past and over- thrown ? Can you not realize that You may be tempted again in the future and overthrown in the same way ? Solomon well said that when a man with his moral weaknesses scoffs at sin he is a fool. I heard the reformed John Gough, after he had been forty years a 'teetotaler, say : "Rather than eat a piece of mince pie flavored with brandy I would cut off my right arm. I would no more touch it, knowing my physical and moral w:akness for drink, than I would be willing to touch a lighted match to a keg of gunpowder." It is sometimes more manly to run from sin than it is to fight sin. God gave us two feet as well as two fists.. That means there are certain times when we should flee from temptation; that we should never allow ourselves to be placed in a position where we may be tempted. Temptation always fiendishly strikes its victim at his weakest point. Therefore ,"let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." EVIL INDULGENCES. The gradual dulling or the paralyz- ing of the moral sensibilities by the touch of sin, may be seen in the life of a country boy who has come to live in our large cities When that young man left home, he was as pure as his sister or his mother. He hair a delicate, spiritual touch. He could aistinguish right from wrong as readily as a trained artist's eye can tell the harmony of colors or a musician's ear can be shocked at the slightest discord. But after awhile that young man allows himself to be led into questionable enjoyments. When he first saw enchanting sin, a fiery blush mantled his cheek. But after awhile his perceptions are dulled; evil is no longer repulsive to him; he begins to believe that the theatre may have a beneficial influ- ence. He can argue for it with a clear eye and a steady heartbeat. After awhile he can go and with ab- solutely no qualms or upbraidings of conscience can sit and listen to the vilest of talkswhich are being utter- ed upon the stage; sit there with a young girl by his side who is no more ashamed of what she sees and hears than is her masculine -escort: The fact that the young man -is able o to argue with you- and that he sees i" no, wrong in watching a sinful play proves beyond a doubt that he has cirrhosis of the soul,: a hardening, of er side of the gravel Can a tiger change.. his striped fur? Can a wolf have his hair bleached into the white wool of a lamb? Can a man born in sin, reared in sin and living i r i and in in 1n s d sin nbo emanci- pated rn ix - dying aOi patod from sin merely because his body ,+leeps for a little while in the tomb? Oh, no! The soul that sin- neth is the soul that must suffer the results of its sins unless Christ for- gives those sins and wallies therri clean in the blood of the Lamb. And whenever there is sin, whether in this world • or the next, there is agony, 1 do not care whether y call the place of eternal punish= a "lake of Are and brimstone," great, heaving, molten tea of burn- ing lava, a dungeon or the haunting caverns of memory, The sinner dy- ing unrepentant must suffer and stif- fen' and suffer forever.

Be Thus said the cou1 tion who brought the young man to the thief captain, Tho expression "!Paul the prisoner" reminds us th"zc Paul was many times a prisoner and ir some of bise t 1 t en s spoke of liirn- self as "the prisoner of Jesus Christ," "the prisoner of the Lord," "Paul the aged and now also a prisoner a. Jesus Christ" (Ertl '; iv, 1 ; Phi, 9). In the list. of hie trials he says, "In stripes above measure, in parsons more 'fre- quent, in deaths oft," and yet he could say, "I take pleasure in per - knew that no suffering couldhe com- pared with the glory, and that all the suffering was working out 'a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (Rona, viii, 18; II Cor: iv, 17). SUICIDAL FOLLY. My brothers and sisters, who have heretofore been mocking at sin as I have been painting for you a picture, with the dark background of warn- ing, will you not let tie paint in the bright foreground a sweet, di- vine love? Will you not let me de- scribe for you the Christ who is ready to stand between you and all future temptation, the Christ who *ill not onlyforgive the past, „ i s , but by his power will keep'yoU in the' future? Who is. he? The Unchange i.ng Rock,. the Lily of the Valley, ,tine Bright and Morning . Star/ the . One who is altogether lovely, the One who ;is now standing by your side. you receive hint? Will you not let Christ come into your heart? Ye mockers at sin, I would plead with you also. Conte to the fount- ain of which if one drink he shall never thirst again. I would plead as 1 Late never pleaded before. Why? Because I know that under your sneers and laughter you have a breaking heart. I know that you are at heart• weary of your sin of your sin and dread its punishment. Come, then, and let Christ save you. Do not be kept back by the thought that you are too bad to bo saved. You are invited and Christ assures you that none that come to him shall be cast out. I tell you this invitation is for all. Yes, it is for all, It is for you just as it was for that poor drunken loafer who crawled up to the altar in Pitts- burg many years ago. "What is the good of trying to save him?" some men said to Francis Murphy. "No good," answered Murphy, "for me to 'try to save hint, but it is good to let God try." And God did save. He put his divine. loving, forgiving arm about Captain Bar- bour and the mocker at sin became a redeemed child in the King's pal- ace. Oh, my sinful, sorrowing friends, will you cease to follow sin? Will you here and now surrender your life, your broken life, into the hands of the Divine Master? Then, at that glad moment, all the teles. tial chivies will ring out the tidings that an immortal is born again - THE S. S. LESSON. INTERNATIONAL LESSON, MAY 10. Text of the Lesson, Acts xxiii. 12-22. Golden Text, Acts xxiii., 11. 12, 15. And when it was day cer- tain of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying 'that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Bart: More than forty thus bound them- selves with this oath of execration (see margin), and they had a plan that the chief captain should be asked to bring hinr again before the council, that they aright inquire more perfectly of some things, and then they would fall upon him and kill him. Whatever they might pro- fess religiously, their conduct made it manifest that they were: children f him of whom the Lord Jesus said, Be was a murderer from the begin- ing" (John vii, 44). "Whosoever oeth not righteousness is not of od, neither he that loveth not• • his rotlier•':.;(I John iii; 10), • "The icked plotteth at,ainst the just and asheth Upon him •with his teeth. he Lord shall laugh at him" (Ps. xxvii, 12, 13). "The Lord hring- h the counsel of the heathen to aught. Ile maketh the devices of he people of none effect. The counsel the Lord standelth forever, the noughts of His heart to all genera - ons" (Ps. xxxiii, 10, 11). We ave the thoughts of His heart in erse 11, which, though not in the sson, is in the portion assigned for Ludy, and every teacher would do well to spend much, if not all, of the time for the lesson upon it.

The first steps to moral destruc- tion may wind through a garden, but that floral pathway soon changes into the Billy road covered with -jagged rocks anal running by the side of the yawning precipices.

He can- not even buy a pair of shoes for his feet or a coat for his back. Thomas Guthrie once described the cup of beautiful chalice sin as a be t Sul cha ace filled with but the bottom wine,at ottom of 'tine cup u a7 lay coiled a serpent. And so after we have sipped for a little while the cup of pleasure, then the evil ser- pent will appear and sting us and bite us as we put the chalk() to our lips.

But do not thou yield unto them, for there lie in wait for him of thele more than forty men which have bound themselves with en, oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. We would like to know more of this young man who could thus ad- vise the chief captain as well as state hist acts so clearly, but eter- nity will give some astonishing se- quels to unfinished Bible stories. Thiukiag . of-. young men. whom the Lord has used, we recall Samuel, Da.yid, Joseph' and the lad whose loaves: fed the 5,000, and, 'like the latter, we would fain be as fully in theLord's L d s hands as were the loaves and fishes which he so fully gave up to Him who could so multiply them. 22. So the chief captain let the young man depart and charged him. See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me. That very night Paul is started off to Caesarea under the care of!seven- ty horsemen, 400 soldiers accom- panying him as far as Antipatris, and this chapter leaves him, human- ly speaking, in the hands of Felix, the Roman governor, who said that he would hear him when his ac- cusers were conte. But he is in high- er hands than those of man, even in the hands of Him who has all power in heaven and on earth, who doeth according to His will in the army of heaven and among the in- habitants of the earth, and none can stay His hand or say unto Him, "What doest thou ?" (Matt. =viii, 18; Dan. iv, 85.) He who shook the prison foundations at Philippi and opened all the doors and loosed every one's bands, who also sent an angel and brought forth Simon Peter when he was chained to two soldiers (Acts xvi, 26; xii, 6, 7), could with a word have de- livered Paul from his present cap- tors, but it was not in. His plan. When we cannot understand why God sometimes delivers and some- times allows the oppressors to con- tinue to oppress, we must remember t1}at "as for God, His way is per- feet," and just hear Fliin say, `Be still and know that I ani God, I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted en the earth" (Ps. xviii, 30; xlvi, 10.) EOLYROOD PALACE. Said to Be In a Very Bad Sani- tary Condition. If all stories are true, Edinburgh has received a stunning blow, says the Glasgow Herald. Its ancient palace, once the home of Scottish royalty, and the scenes of so much stirring history, is now reported to have been pronounced after examina- tion no safe residence for the King and Queen. In the old days, indeed, such an enquiry and verdict would have been superfluous, for a palace in which David Rizlzio was dragged out to slaughter from his sovereign's supper table, and from which the gentle Icing had to flee from the Iwild Earl of Bothwell, was certain- ly a perilous place' for, a court. True, there was no complaint of its faulty sanitation in those days • people then were too much afraid of their unruly neighbors to have any time to -think of drains- or- of the dangers. of; "a low situation." .They thought themselves well' ori if they could get behind good stone walls with a stout iron -Mound gate to keep out the enemy, and -ie never hear that they grumbled at the smell of the moat. DO NOT CHEW COFFEE. "Coffee -chewing," says a doctor, "is a habit easily contracted, for the taste, of the crisp roasted berries is not unpleasant, anis the exhilaration, the stimulus, that tiie berries give is very marked. It is this exhilara- tion, I am convinced, that causes the habit to be formed, and that makes it a hard habit to break away from. Its effects are highly injurious. They are marc injurious than the per - pernicious habit of tobacco -chewing. 'The coffee -chewing habit wrecks the nerves, it makes' the skin sallow and it destroys the' appetite.

A SICK ROOM " HINT. n a recent I case ,of sickness in which a trained nurse was ertiployed• ..ess„ 40,010 the pleasant air of the sick --room was noticeable. When comment was made, the nurse explained how, it was managed. A few pieces of brown paper had been soaped in saltpetre -water and allowed to dry: When occasion required, a piece of this was laid in a tin pan kept for the purpose (a coal -scuttle would do as well,) a handful of dried lav- ender leaves laid upon it, and a match applied. The aroma was par- ticularly refreshing and agreeable. Another suggestion in the same line applies to the use of lavender in an- other form. A few drops of oil of lavender poured into a glass of very, hot water will purify the air of a room almost instantly. This bit of knowledge is useful to the hostess whose dinner must be served in a small dining -room near tke kitchen: If the moisture is made just before dinner is announced, by the time the company enters the room it will be filled with a faint, intangible, but thoroughly acceptable odor of fresh- ness, and all disagreeable stiffiness removed.
