Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, urinary

time to act and r.o lime to experiment.
These are all symptoms of kidney
trouble, and you should seek a remedy
which is known tocure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use It has cured many stubborn cases.
No tieed to experiment.
A. M. Buck, a painter, living corner

highly of that wonderful re-uedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. My experience
with xidner troubles dates back to the

but only received temporary relief. The
pain was in the small of my back and
was*o bad that I could not stoop or
straighten up without torture. After
comirg out here the complaint still
clung to me unt.l a friend sdvised me to
try Doan's Kidneys Pills. I did not pay.
much attention to his advice at the

that I had about lost f .it h in medicines,
but when I was theui advertised lust

MEDIAEVAL REVIVALS.
Method* of the Frnnel?ean? Iii tbw
Thirteenth Ccntnry. .
At least two methods see in to he
used Among revivalist workers both of
which have come down from meJIaeval
times. The Franciscans insisted on an
obedient band of workers, with nu al
most military organization. Tliey In
deed called themselves the "army of
Jesus." At the head of the order stoo l
the "general," a new term lu the thir
teenth century religious life. The chief,
of the band of workers in any Italian
town took as his title the designation
given to the military leader lu the cttj
republic In which they had the r tem
p irary abode. In Venice he was 11 gou
fallonere de Gesu, in Milan II cupltnno
del Gesu and so ou lu other towus.
They had distinct modes of beginning
their work prescribed for them with as
detlnlte details as If they were lI-.'IhD
uist Episcopal missionaries or officers
and soldiers of the Salvation Army.
When they began work lu arty town
they were ordered to seleet a hall If
possible In the lowest and psore-t dls
trlct. They were forbidden to paint ei
ther pulpit or bench. They were to as
semble in front of their hall and march
through the streets singing their
hymns, playing on pipes and waving
banners. When they had gathered a
sufficient crowd they wefe to return to
their hall, take their followers n with
them and deliver short practical ad
dresses, Interspersed with hymu slug
ing. Francis had a great dislike to all
book learning. He told his followers t.?
n: Ingle with the commou people, to talk
with the masous when they were build
ing, with the weavers wlieu they were
weaving, with the women when in lt:ri
Ian fashion they were washing clothe
by the side of the streams. They would
thus, he said, find what filled the minds
of the people, what spiritual help the ?
needed from the preachers, what diffi
cultles they bad In becoming follower
of Jesus, and In a morning's conversa
tion they would find the material fo;
;iielr addresses.
The Franciscan revivalists subjected
their converts also to discipline and
kept them united with each other. The;

A WEIRD STORY.
Strange Experience With Phnntn*nn
In Cant Africa.
Die Uebersinnllche Welt of Berlin
gives un account of phanbisuis iu east
Africa. They are doicril cd by Colonel
I.ingfeJd as having couie to 111; experi
ence. A friend of his. starting for Vic
toria Xyanza, bad s.tld: '"If iiuy b::ra)
befalls me I'll let you know. I'll g;vc
y ui a sign." The only white civilian
t: ere was the son of a large colonial
merchant.
Two months later the pigeons In their
cot in the middle of the yard appeared
to be disturbed. The colonel was
aroused in the night and saw two
round points, more like glowing coals
than the eyes of a wild beast, gleaming
from the dovecot. He fired and saw
au animal like a chimpanzee, having
long, reddish brown hair, fall to the
ground and Immediately rise and disap
pear round the corner of the hou^e, ut
tering a terrible shriek. An old Sudan
ese declared that it was a devil, that It
came as a warning when a European
had died an unnatural death and that
this was the third time he had seen It
A strict search revealed no traces of
blood, although the shot had been tired
at only four yards range. Later the
colonel, still awake, heard light foot
steps on the veranda. Rising to see
who was there, he was surprised to
fin! a European sitting at his table,
which was fully set out for a meal. As
the stranger raised his head In the full
moonlight he saw that it was his
friend (who had gone to Nyantn), but
hollow eyed and with a suffering mien.
The colonel managed to utter a ques
tion, when suddenly the apparition
vanished and the table appeared clear
of all dishes. Six weeks later word
came to the station that on the same
day on which these remarkable events
had happened or seemed to happen the
young merchant had lost his way and
had been killed and partly eaten by
wild beasts.
Matches of Slif.
If all of the matches made In a single
year could be put together they would
make seventy-eight matches each long
enough to reach from the earth to the
moon. Each match would burn for
several years and would give out as
much heat energy as would be con
sumed by three freight locomotives In
a day. Forty of these matches woiild
be of the safety variety, twenty three
would have sulphur tips, and the rest
would be of the strike anywhere sort.
Only one would be a wax match, and
that would fall a trifle short of the
proper length, say 700 miles.
