Parsnip Complexion.

It does not require an expert to detect the enfferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complextion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in tie back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in paseing it, if after passing there is an unsatisfled feeling as ir it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requ ring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright's disease the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.

Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder special- ist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you first prefer to test its wonderful merits, mention The Vermont Journal, and write to Dr. Kilmer Binghampton, N.

for a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. 1 Dyspepsia Palpitation of the Heart, Heart Burn, Biliousness, Gastritis and often even Cancer of the Stomach, can be CURED BY SMITH'S Green Mountain RENOVATOR.

It is only one of a great many cases that goes to show what can be accomplished by Smith's Green Mountain Renovator. So sure are the proprietors of the efficacy of their medicine that every bottle is sold under a guarantee, the money being refunded where all that is claimed for it is not accomplished.

-The town of Gilsum is taking considerable interest in the recent discovery that Admiral George Dewey's ancestors were formerly well known residents of that town, and as a consequence the townspeople are planning some sort of recognition to the memory of this illustrious family. During the revolution and for years previous to it, Dewey's great-great-grandfather, Elenezer Dewey, and his son, Ebenezer, Jr, occupied a prominent part in the history of the town. That all the townspeople may have a share in the work, it is at present planned to have a grand celebration day, when all the people shall turn out and construct a massive pile of rocks gathered from the lot formerly owned by the family and bearing the single word A letter will be sent to the admiral, askhis approval of the plan, and it is hoped that he may return in time to be present at the celebration. -THE words of praise bestowed upon Hood's Sarsaparilla by those who have taken it prove the rit of the medicine.

Broughton D. Harris, aged 67, one of Brattleboro's most prominent citizens, died at his home the evening of Jan. 19. of heart failure. Mr.

Harris was a man well known throughout the state and all New England. He was a gradnate of Dartmouth college in the class of 1845, being one of the honor men. He spent a number of years, after his graduation in the study law, incidentally doing a large amount of newspaper work. In 1850 his friends, Senators Collamer and Foote, procured for Mr. Harris the position of first secretary of the new territory of Utah.

He soon found himself at variance with the governor of the territory, Brigham Young, and refused to disburse se the public money committed to his care by the United government for the benefit of the territory. Secretary Harris refused all demands made upon him by the governor and the legislature, and finally returned to Washington with the money. Soon afterwards he was tendered the office of governor of New Mexico, but declined the same. Later he engaged in railroad building all parts of the United States, and is said to have been connected with the construetion of no less than thirty different roads. His name was frequently mentioned in connection with the governorship of the state, a place for which he was eminently qualified, but he gave way for others.

Brooke's staff. -The annual report of the state board of equalization shows a net decrease in the valuation throughout the state of $3,252,624 since 1897, mostly due to a shrinkage in savings bank deposits.

-Owing to the prevalence of contagious disease among the children at Milford, the board of health has issued an order closing the publie schools, Sunday school-, public library and reading room for period of at least four weeks. All the children under fifteen years of age are prohibited for that length of time from attending church or other publie gatherings of any kind. Scarlet fever is the disease from which the children are suffering the most severely. -The financial report of the commissioners of Grafton county shows the net debt of the county to be less than $6000, reduction during last year of about $1000, and in two years a net reduction of nearly $8000. The county convention of 1897 authorized the commissioners issue bonds to the amount of $10,000, to build a new jail.

This was not done, however. The commissioners have built the jail out of the regular appropriation money, and have reduced the debt in the time being about $8000. -And now it is said the friends of Hon. Benjamin A. Kimball of Concord will request permission to use his name as a candidate for the republican nomination for United States senator, two years hence.

If he should run, it would add breeziness to the campaign, which promises to be the most remarkable for many years. Mr. Kimball, during the last 40 years, has been prominent in raileducational, financial and political affairs, He was born in Boscawen in 1833, is a graduate of Dartmouth college, of which he is a trustee, and has been a member of both houses of the legislature. a delegate to one of the two constitutional conventions, and a member of the executire council. -The annual report of the fish and game commissioners shows that the past two years have been years of prosperity, so far as' relates to the propagation and distribution of the various kinds of food fish, and the increase of game in the state, especially of deer and other large game.

Only one moose has been killed in the state since the legislature of 1897 prohib. ited that sport, and the guilty party paid $100 fine and costs. So far as the commissioners were able to ascertain, 18 moose wintered in Coos county, last win- ter, and their presence, with young, around the Connecticut lakes and in the valleys of the Diamond streams during the summer of 1898, is good evidence that in time the New Hampshire forests will contain sufficient numbers of that animal to attract sportsmen en from abroad.
