Bright's Disease.
By the term Bright's disea
•usually understood a chronic in
Motion or degeneration of the kid
accompanied sooner or later, u
'carefully treated, by dropsy, em
tion, symptoms of stomach disturb -
•ante, possibly weakness or loss of
sight, insensibility, convulsions and
death. These later and more serious
symptoms, however, can usually be
prevented or so long postponed. as to
give the victim virtually a normal
term of life and a fabily comfortable
existence, ' There is also an acute
form. of kidney inflammation; but this,
though sometihnes followed by one of
the .chronic forms, is really a differ-
ent disease, or at least so different as
to require a separate description.
Chrofie Bright's•rii:eale, although
it may follow an attack of acute
.cute in-
flammation of the kidneys,usually
gives no warning of its presence until
it has existed for same time.. It oc-
curs not infrequently in young per-
sons sons who have chronic abscesses ming
to tuberculosis of the hip or other
joints, or of the spine.
Another form of Bright's disease is
really a degenerat:on rather than an
in'fl'ammation. It comes on in middle
life, or a little later, and is usually
associated with degeneration of the
arteries and with heart ;disease. Busi-
ness men who work too hard, worry
too much, and often, also, eat and
drink too much, frequently.sufier from
this' disease. Other causes' are lead
poisoning, overindulgence in alcohol,
overeating, especially of neat and
highly seasoned food, and tqo little
exercise,
In the form of chronic. Bright's dis-
ease first mentioned the signs are ex-
treme pallor, weakness, loss of appe-
tite, swelling; of the ankles; especially
in the evening, and more or less puffi-
ness,.under• the eyes. The urine is
dininisiied in amount and contains
much albumin. In the second form,
there may for a long time be no
symptoms except that the person does
not feel quite well, is easily tired, gets
out of `breath after slight exertion,
and notices that the kidneys are ex-
creting more than they formerly did,
especially at night. The blood pres-
sure is always high, headache is likely
to be troublesome, and the early morn-
ing hours are likely to be wakeful.
The sight may be seriously affected,
and dimness of vision is sometimes
the first symptom to attract the phys i-
bian's attention to the kidneys. In
well-developed cases there is usually
dilatation of the heart. Dizziness and
annoying ear noises are not uncom-
mon. Dropsy is not so narked in this,
form of Bright's disease as it is- in
the first, and the first form is the
more serious; but, although neither
form is curable, both mil be greatly
benefited by treatment.

Remains of ice Cap.
• Tho island of Greenland is the last
fragment of. the great ice -cap which
at one time covered the greater part
of North America and the North At-
lantic. Ten thousand years ago this
ice field united Northwest Europe and
Canada into one great. continent, just
as the Antarctic Continent is to -day --
an ice -cap miles high and edged with
giant glaciers. In America this ice -cap
extended west to the Rocky Mountains
and southward to tho junction of the
Mississippi and the Missouri, covering
the present sites of Chicago, St,.Louis
and New York. Berlin in that day was
covered by the cap, as were the North-
ern Heights of London, the city of
JiVloscow and. all of Northern Europe
east to the Ural Mountains; on the bor-
ders of Siberia.
Scientific men have found that the
t ]ape -cap melted from Northern New
lark about 7100 B.C. and from Fin-
jland in 5200 B.C., says the Wide

A guilty Ity grind punishes itself.
Willful waste makes woeful want.
Prone fame to infamy is a beaten
road.
Kindness, like grain, increases by
sowing.
One bad example spoils many good
precepts.
No man thoroughly occupied was
ever miserable.
Do not weep over your difficulties,
but walk over them.
In every form, of the human some
hint of -the Highest dwells,
He lives long who lives well; time
misspent is not lived, but lost.
True politeness is to do and say the
kindest things in the kindest way,
Where no wood is, there the fire
goeth out;; so where there is no tale-
bearer the strife endeth.
That teacher must be poor indeed
who has not, each year, a few dollars

The vicious seed is sown; it is next

it can be crowded out by a nobler
growth the harvest is certain.
If hubby is a good listener and
wifey is a good cook, there's lots of
hope for married happiness.
