Kidney and bladder troubles cause many annoying symptoms and great inconvenience both day and night. Unhealthy kidneys may cause lumbago, rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain dull ache in the back, joints or muscles, at times have headacha or indigestion, as time passes you may have a sallow complexion, puffy 1 or dark circles under the eyes, sometimes feel as though you had heart trouble, may have plenty of ambition but no strength, get weak and lose flesh.

If such conditions are permitted to continue, serious results may be expected; Kidney Trouble in its very worst form may steal upon you. Prevalency of Kidney Disease. Most people do not realize the alarm tyrannical officer and the men under him had been captivated by the easy life in Tahiti. On April 28 they mutinied, cast Bligh and 18 other nfen adrift fn the ship's launch and sailed back to Tahiti. Bligh and his companions reached the Island of Timor on the fourteenth of June, after sailing 3,000 nautical miles in an open boat and suffering dreadful privations.

Mutineers Made Merry. Meanwhile the mutineers made merry for a while at Tahiti, but Fletcher Christian, their leader, fearing pursuit, decided to seek a inore secure refuge. However, some of the mutineers refused to follow him, so Christian, with eight of his shipmates, six Tahitian men and 12 Tahitian women, sailed for Pitcairn island, where they arrived and settled in 1700, after burning the Bounty. Christian was justified in anticipating pursuit. In time Tahiti was visited by another British man-of-war under Captain Edwards in search of the mutineers.

Fourteen of the sixteen who remained in Tahiti were captured, and three of them were executed in September, 1702. Of Christian and his company no trace was discovered until 1S0S, when Captain Folger, an American skipper, touched at Pitcairn island and found tneir survivors and descendants living there. In the meantime all of the mutineers except Alexander Smith, of the Tahitian men and several of the women had died of disease or violence. After being informed of Captain Folger's discovery, the British government took no steps in the matter until 1S14, when in September, H. M.

S. Britain touched at the Island and found old -Smith, or Adams, still alive, commanding the respect and admiration of the whole little colony by his exemplary conduct and fatherly care of them. The settlers there were visited again by British ships in 1S23 and 1S30, and the later visitors confirmed the testimony of the earlier as to their exemplary conduct. In 1S31 they deemed their population only 87 too great for the island. and.at their request many were transported by the British government tj Tahiti.

But, shocked by the morals of their Tahitian relatives and friends, after a nine-months' sojourn they returned to the island at their own expense. In 1839 they besought Captain Elliott of H. M. S. Fly, who visited them, to be taken under the protection of the British government because of annoyances from the lawless crews of whalers who occasionally visited them.

Taken Over by British. Captain Elliott accordingly took possession of the island in the name of Queen Victoria, gave them a Union Jack and recognized their self-elected magistrate. They were frequently visited by English ships until 1855, when, again deeming their numbers too great for the island, they petitioned the British government to grant them the larger and more productive Norfolk island, to which they were removed in 1S5G. In 1859, two families, numbering 17 persons, returned to Pitcairn island, and the present inhabitants are descended from those. An officer of the British ship Opal, which visited the island in 1879, wrote as follows: "We just left a place of great interest, namely Pitcairn island.

After a SO-days passage from, San Francisco we sighted the Island at 8 a. m. on the 2nd of July and at ten o'clock anchored off Bounty bay the first time a man-of-war has anchored there for about twenty years, it being customary to steam off and on the island while communicating with it. "Immediately on our, arrival," he wrote, "the islanders launched a boat through the surf, and came off with a quantity of fruit for us. The chief magistrate, whose name is McCoy, came on board, as did also some of the Youngs and Christians.

The edges of the net are trimmed on the body and sleeves with narrow white satin ribbon run on flat, and the skirt has the same ribbon, In different widths running round in bands. The widest Is used, one row of it, Just a little above the edge, then a little above that a narrower ribbon, and so on for about five rows. The only other trimming, and the only bit of color, were two little bunches of silk-made fruit, quite good-sized, with foliage, one on the waist at the upper edge, the other on the skirt, a little below the waistline and on the opposite side from the first bunch. Each bunch had three colors, the big berries in each being one of pink, one of blue, and one of yellow.

Very effective and useful cushions can be made from holland or linen, and all that Is needed in the way of decoration is simply a single rose with one or two leaves attached. -Grey linen looks very beautiful with a rose worked in delicate pink shades; the heart of the rose should be deeper than the outside petals. The rose Is simply worked with satin stitch in Peri Lusta, so that it can be easily washed as well as being deco- A Useful Cushion.

rative; or a rose cut from good cretonne and appliqued on will have an excellent effect. First make a bag for the cushion in calico the size you wish it to be, then fill with vegetable down, real down or feathers. The linen for the case should be embroidered before it is made up; when made, put it over the cushion, sew up the end and edge all round with cord, and either put a tassel at each corner or else arrange the cord in loops. Though so very simple, the cushion in exquisite taste, yet is not too fine to use for the wear and tear of everyday life. EASILY MADE TRAVELING BAG An Eleven-Inch Square of Pink Linen and Some Tape All That Is Needed.

A very pretty and quickly made traveling bag can be made with an 11-inch square of pink linen. Bind the entire square with white tape, then fold one side of the linen to one-third the depth. Featherstitch into five poc-ets, three narrow ones and two wide ones, placing a narrow one in the center at each end, with the wide ones between. The edges where the square is folded are overhanded together. The small pockets are for toothpaste, toothbrush and cold cream, the larger ones for talcum powder and powder puff.

If the toothbrush is enclosed in a glass case, the pocket need not be rubber lined. Fasten a piece of tape in the center of the side opposite the pockets. This is folded over and the tape tied around the case. Sets Fur Trl.Timed. Angora wool, knitted by hand oi machine woven, is fur trimmed and made into very delectable neckpiece, muff and hat sets, not only for sports wear, but for ordinary street wear as well.

As for the velvets, silks and fine cloths joined with fur to make the little things of the winter costume, there is no end to there Whole hats of fur, relieved only by some single ornament or slight trimmings of velvet or metal lace, are worn. One unusually becoming model of moleskin has a smoke-color ostrich tip at one side and an embroidered velvet ribbon of blue which ties in a small how at the front. The much-exploited beret is, of course, shown In fur, and there are many fur hats that, like the velvets, have brims clasping the head close and flaring out at audacious angles as they slant upward. New- York Sun down at the right side and rolls up at the back and left side to show the hair. The black velvet tam really needs no trimming; its saucy shape and its poise on the head are self-sufficient, but many of these hats have a single small ornanwnt made of beads or ribbon in cockade effect.

If this is used once or twice a day even badly discolored teeth will be greatly iin. proved in a short time.

Deep Cuffs a Novelty. Deep fur cuffs 'on coats are a peculiarity of this season's modes. Sleeve tops, with a slight fullness at their tops, just enough to give it a sort of embryo leg-of-mutton look, are seen In so many of the imported dresses that one is 'forced to believe that this new sleeve will really stay In style.

One sees less oi the fox animal scarf this winter; the predilection for fur sets is obvious.

Sets of fur combined with some fabric have always lieen the vogue of "elegantes" in Paris. Now the idea is being taken up The result is great individuality, for the scarfs or capes must harmonize with the dress with which they are worn. Most of them are of the shoulder-cape variety; this is good in that being worn without any other outside garment they are plenty warm enough, except for the shivery sort of person and in very cold weather. '(- Another peculiarity in wlntermodes is the reappearance of the long fur cape. It may or may not have a slit fcr the hand.

PERFECTS A NEW STABILIZER Orvilie Wright Expects to Make Flying Safe as Automobiling Through Novel Principle.

Dayton, O. The airplane made as safe as the automobile that is the dream of Orvilie Wright, who, with his brother Wilbur, now dead, gave man dominion over the air a. decade and a half ago. That dream is said to have become a reality with his new stabilizer, for which patents are to be applied for. within a few weeks.

Never prone to talk much, Orvilie Wright is even more reticent than usual on the topic of his latest inventions. With patents not obtained, naturally he will not divulge secrets until it is assured that he wil! reap the rewards of the service. On the tion of what it will do, however, he is not so secretive. He believes aircraft will be as safely and easily piloted as the most humble "flivver." His new stabilizer substantially rejects the gyroscope heretofore always deemed necessary as a Instead It enters the domain electricity. By a unique-Tifrangement of batteries, augmented by a pendulum swinging in a liquid bath and a minor propeller placed almost directly over the pilot's head, absolute, unswerving, automatic stability is said to be maintained.

Following a series of experimental flights Mr. Wright said: "I am more than satisfied with its work now. All I had to do was to steer the machine. The stabilizer gave me a perfect balance during the entire flight. It did all the 'banking' on the turns and righted the machine on every dip." When asked if the new stabilizer was in any way similar to the one patented some time ago, he replied that the first device was not to be compared to the new one.

WOMEN ARE NEVER FRIENDS? New York Professor Announces Research Shows the "Term is Masculine Only." New York. Charles Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy at New York university, has devoted considerable time and effort In research work on the problem of "Can a woman be a friend, and, if not, why not?" Today he made public the results of his study. "She cannot be a friend," Profes sor Shaw announces, "for, although the word is given in both genders, the fact alone is masculine. The rea son for this state of unfriendliness in woman is that to be a friend a clear- cut personality and -a disinterested outlook on life are required. Woman lacks both of these.

Woman is never a friend because she is never an individual, and to be an individual one must stand alone. Woman is a planet a satellite well adapted to revolving around some center, but not or ganized so as to stand alone. "Men's clubs, of which they are so proud, are combinations made for killing time and fostering laziness. On the other hand, the woman's club is an attempt to generate feminine friendship.

SELDOM TOUCHED BY SHIPS A.n Abundance of Food Is Raised on the Island, but Nothing From Which Clothes Can Be Made People Speak English, Are Honest and Religious. Now York. Miss Flora McFlimsey w. Madison square, who really and truly had nothing to war, was indeed in sad plight, but her plight was not nearly so sad as is that i the Pitcairn island ladies, according to the report brought to this city by the Ship Port Hardy, which Arrived via London a few days ago. The Port Hardy piles between New York and Australia, returning by way of London, and is commsnded by Captain Griffiths.

He had visited Pitcairn island in 1891 and, having a desire to revisit it, touched there on his last voyage out, in June of this Fear. The island, a mere peck in the vast expanse of the Pacific ocean, lies abou' half way between the western extremity of the Panama canal md New Zealand. The island is a rocky promontory rising from 1,000 to 2.000 feet above 'he sea level. It is about two and a half miles long and one mile wide. It is well wooded and covered with luxurir.nt tropical vegetation.

The sides are sheer rock cliffs and there is no harbor or anchorage for ships, though a bight in the coast line Is known as Bounty bay. The Port Hardy, though nominally touching, did not anchor, but merely "lay to" off That was a sufficient invitation to a number of the islanders, men, women and children, to come aboard. The Inhabitants, 160 in round numbers, were amply supplied with food, but badly in need of clothing, especially the women, who have nothing with whlcn to make dresses. Their sisters Df Murray Hill will recognize that as a really trying situation. The fact is that an abundance of food is raised on the island, but nothing from which clothing may be made.

As the island has no trade with anywhere and ships seldom touch there, the Pitcairn women have been reduced to the pitiful of fashioning their dresses from the cast-off garments of men. So they have sent a moving appeal by Captain Griiliths to their more fortunate sisters of New York for serviceable dressmaking material. They also need thread, needles and some other articles such as writing paper, pencils, slates for school children, paraffin oil, soap and nails, all of which the captain has promised to take back to them if they are given to him. Speak Good English. Concerning the people of Pitcairn, Captain Griffiths said that the women were dusky-hueo like their Tahitian maternal aneisb4fe, but the men have more of the European coloring.

They speak no other language than English, and excellent English, too. They were strictl honest and exceedingly religious. In religion they are Seventh Iay Adventists. Their religious Ideas appear to have veen derived from Alexander Smith, one of the original settlers, who afterward changed his name to John Adams and endeavored to atone for his mutinous con-3act by educating and civilizing the rising generation. There Is one church and one schoolhouse on the island and the children seem to be Instructed.

So far as Captain Griffiths knows, the only animals on the island are joats, though pigs are mentioned by earlier visitors. Fruits, especially ranges of large size and excellent 3uaiity, are abundant. Breadfruit, fams, potatoes and sugar cane are Usa grown. About the only industry jesities agriculture Is the manufacture of straw hats from native straw. Tiie only vessel regularly visiting Uic Jsland is a seaman's missionary tefcooner from San Francisco, which tcroclies there about once in six nonths.

The islanders are now, how-vr, trying to build a schooner them-eives for trading purposes, and to end were helped by Captain Grif-3tha with 200 pounds ol nails and a jaie of oakum, which he happened to able to spare. He says the lsland-T9 have a great admiration for Amer--' en. The story of Pitcairn island is one of the: strangest In history. The island was discovered by Carteret in 1707 And named by him after one of his officers, but it was not again visited Europeans until it was taken possession of by some of the Bounty mutineers. William Bligh, an English laval officer, who had made the circumnavigating voyage under Captain Oook, was sent out in December, 1787, to Tahiti, in command of the ship Bounty, to collect breadfruit trees for transplanting In the West Indies.
