ONE OB TWO WAYS P The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine and as such it is not liable to any form of diseases except by one of two ways. The flr9t way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The eecofid way IP from careless local treatment of other disease. CHIEF CAUSfc. Unhealthy urine from Unhealthy lid neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles, bo the womb, like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or dieeaae, except in rare cases. Ii is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, blabder, or urinary passage, is often, by mistake, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of | some sort. The error is easily made I and may be easily avoided. To And out correcctl.v set your urine aside for twenty-four hours/ a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder [trouble.

The lid ltd* Blast Have a Very Good Lher. The leading articles which look so Imposing and which express the policy of a paper on important subjects are not troublesome from the point of view of organization, says Chambers' Journ al. The editor decides comparatively early in the evening what subjects shall be written about, and he, of course, also directs the lines which the arti cles shall follow. Unless he be a very wise or very foolish man he does not attempt to write any of them himself. The editor who really edits a paper j has no time to write. He is responsi ble for everything and has in the last resort to arrange everything. He or his assistants read every line of every proof sheet; they have to be constant ly on the lookout for insidious errors, for "doubles"--the sam$ news given twice or given previously--for matter J which should not be published and for numberless other equally important things. A really competent editor is one of the rarest things in the world, and one of the ablest. The work of a cabinet minister cannot compare with his work.... A really good editor can direct the policy of his paper on some essential matter at one moment and at ' the next detect a "turned comma." Nothing is too great and nothing is too . small for his instant comprehension. His nerves mus£ be of iron or worry will kill him; he must feel his respon- ( sibility, yet carry it lightly; he must I not harass his staff. Above all, his , liver must be in good order. Indeed, - we think that, given this and ability, i the other qualities will be added onto him.
