How The Whiskey Prisoners Pass
Their Time.

from the Cincinnati Commercially
ST. LOUIS, July 1O.-A somewhat re-
markable occurrence took place to-day
near the county Jail in this city. William
Mckee, and Constantine Mcguire, Govern
ment prisoners, undergoing sentence of con-
finement, were visited about six o'clock In
the evening by a friend named Heller, who
is one of the Judges of the County Court,
who invited the prisoners out to take a
drink, and out they came. Crossing the
street the trio entered spacious saloon and
called for liquor. They called again for H.
qu1r and soon began to make merry in high
style. Meanwhile curious crowd began to
assemble; the saloon became crowded and
was doing good business, and it remained
for thoughtless newspaper man inadver-
tently to cause the little soiree to
come to abrupt end.

''Sickly" queried the gentleman.
"Sickly! You wouldn't think she was II

The Drill Culture of Wheat.

No branch of improved industry has
attracted greater attention among the
wheat and grain growers than the
drilling of wheat and other small grain
by the use of appropriate machinery
for the purpose. We believe that by
the use of these labor-saving machines,
better crops are secured than when
the grain is sown by hand, at all events
the crops are more even, and again.
there is saving in seed. Another adj
vantage by using the drill, the ground
receives pretty thorough cultivation,
and still another advantage, much more
land can be sOwn in a day, and when
grain is sown, the plants are so even
throughout the whole lire of rows.
The roots will become so completely
interviewer in each other, the tops or
stalks form sort of umbrella covering
to the roots, which to some extent
protect them from the severity of the
frost. 1t is true the ground should be
previously, thoroughly and efficiently
prepared. The work cannot be done
when the ground is rough, or uneven.
We believe that the seeder is as neces.
sary to the farmer rs the reaper or
threSher.

Seals in Lake Superior.
piOreer-Press & Tribune

PioGeer-Press & Tribune.
Mr.. William Leonard, of New York
City, widely known us one of the
agents Of the Rothschilds, is endeav-
oring to form stock company for the
purpose of stocking Lake Superior
with the fur-bearing seal. \ number
of eastern capitalists are interested III
the matter, and the project Will un-
eOubtedly be carried into effect. The
object is first TO bring the plan before
this and the British governments and
secure their pledge to protect the
company in their rights Of preventing
the animals from being killed for a
term of twenty years. The company
will then capture Il large number of
the Alaska seals and transport them to
the lake, where they will again be al
lowed TO go at large. 1t is claimed
that the temperature of the water Of
upper Lake Superior is the same as at
Alaska, and that the animal fiOurisheS
as well in fresh as salt water. AS
many as six have been caught in a net
at time, hence the capture of a suf-
ficlent quantity to stock the lake would
be comparatively an easy matter.
The female gives birth TO one or two
at Il time, and it has been estimated
that 100 of the animals placed in the
lake next spring, under favorable cir
cumStanceS, would increase their num-
Der to about 500 during a period of
five years. The stocking company
could then kill one hundred or more
with profit to themselves, and at the
expiration of the term of twenty
years, provided the governments agree
to protect them until then, they
would become legitimate game.
The locks at Sault Ste. Marie
would prevent their escape from
the lake, and the comparatively
uninhabited portion of the north
ern shores are said to be partic-
ularly favorable to their propagation.
They are polygamOuS, each male hav-
ing three or four females, and the
young are born on shore. They are
gregarious and migratory, fond of par
ticular spots, and seldom 90 far from
their favorite element. They are re-
markably tenacious OF life, and when
left undiStErbed become in a measure
domeSucated. a prominent military
officer of this State is eagerly interest
ed in the formation of the proposed
company, and the characteristics of
the lake are at present being investi-
gated for that purpose.

gained on him fearfully; he knew it
by the beating of their footsteps; but
with eagerness inspired by mortal
terror he ran on, hoping to gam only
the brow Of the hill, for there the
ground became more open, and his
own cabin was but few yards beyond.
He felt very sure that his pursuers
would not follow him beyond the sum-
nit; but could he reach it before
they would close upon him
No, not by his own eXertions, for
lust as the thought passed through his
mind his foot caught a gnarled root
that extended across the way, and he
fell heavily forward, his head striking

|. When Peter recovered consciousness
he found himself hanging over the
broad shoulders of his brother John,
and about to enter his own door. Here
he soon collected his scattered senses
and was able to listen intelligently to
his brothers account or the rescue.
Uncle Tom Barry in his flight, had
stopped at the cabin long enough to
shout through the window that the
wolves were out, and hurried on. John
who lived with his brother, knowing
that Peter must come to the Sarle path
took his gun and walked out to the
edge of the forest. where he halted to
listen. But short time elapsed before
he heard the sound of the pursued and
the purSuers, and rushing down the
hill he arrived upon the scene just in
me to leap between Peters PROSTATE
form and the wolves, the foremost of
whom were less than ten feet distant.
Ttking steady aim. he sent bullet
through the animal S brain, and then.
while the pack Wee fighting terribly
over the dead body of their comrade,
he slung Peter over his back and
gained the open ground in perfect
safety.
Peter frankly told the whole truth
about the affair, from beginning to
end, and concluded the story with the
emphatic assertion that as long as he
lived he would never be guilty of such
another practical joke; vow he faith
fully kept.
We commend his resolution TO all
practical jOkers. Nothing is more fool
ish and reprehensible than the average
Of practical jokes. The temptation to
perpetrate one comes often, but should
always be resisted.

Mederl Women,

1t is a sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and phys
ique until they are literally race of invalids
pale, nervous, feeble and back achy, with
only here and there few noble exceptions in
the persons OF the robust, buXOm ladies char
acteristic of the sex in days gone by. By a
very large experience, covering q period OF
years, and embracing the treatment of many
thousands of cases OF those ailments peculiar
to Women, DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has perfected by the
combination OF certain vegetable extracts a
natural specific, which he does not extol as a
cure-all, but one which admirably fulfills a
Gingleness of purpose, being most positive
and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that aff1ict the women OF the pres
ent day. This natural specific compound is
called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription The
following are among those diseases in which
this wonderful medicine has worked cures as
If by magic and with certainty never before
attained by any medicines: Weak back, ner-
vous and general debility, falling and other
displacements OF internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack OF strength in natural
supports. internal fever, colg stion, inflam-
nation and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident to women, not pro-
per to mention here, in which, as we'll as in
the cases that have been enumerated the
Favorite Prescription effects cure-the marvel
OF the world. 1t will not do harm in any
state or condition OF the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid
that severest of ordeals-the consulting of q
family physician. Favorite Prescription is
sold by dealers in medicines generally.

Stock Barns.

The width on the ground should be
sufficient for floor, with the stables
on each side, running the whole length
Of the barn, and the length should be
in proportion to the amount of stock
requiring stable room in it.
Above the stables, the two sides
should project from six to eight feet.
The object of the projection is to give
more room above for hay, stalks, and
grain, and at the same time protect
the manure thrown out from the
stables below. There should be a
cellar under the floor for storing roots;
the stable floor may be made tight.
and the urine conducted by cutters, at
the foot Of the stables.
The covering should be made tight
for warmth, and painted to give neat
ness, beauty and durability. \ barn
built on a plan of this kind will be
found to be very convenient.

Hints TO Horse Traders.

First, look at the horse while stand
ing still in the stable. If he seems to
rest one foot, look at that leg from top
TO bottom. See if he has any splints,
spavins, puffs, wind-galls, or curbs, or
If he is knee-sprung, and if his hip-cap
is down, for in fat horses this some
times hardly shows. Next, his eyes
II they look weak, and he is young, it
may be caused by what are commonly
called "blind teeth" If this is so, his
face will be thick, and they can easily
be found by looking just in front Of
the first grinders, and should be pulled
with common horse forceps. or punched
out. The first is preferable, as you
can [ get all the roots by punching ev-
cry time. Next, look at his coupling
and if he kibs up well. BY placing
your ear TO his breast. you can usually
ascertain if his wind is good. after a
little travelling. Next, see if he stands
straight on his feet, or if he stretches
himself while standing. 1t is great
mistake TO want to see n horse on the
move all the time. You can learn
twice as much about horse standing
still as while moving. Far better
back a horse than see him go forward F;
for il stiff, there is where he will
show it. and that is what will tell on
his Shoulders, if they have been hurt
at any time. If you wish to buy.
ride the horse yourself. for the owner
knows the gait that his horse moves
best in, and you can tell by the motion
of the horse, if you are on him, wheth-
er there is anything the matter with
his travel or not. | could add much
more, if thought necessary.

Gardening i'm Minnesota,

The Gardener Monthly in speaking
of the report Of the Minnesota State
Horticultural Society, says:
We have always had an idea that for
genuine gardening Minnesota was des-
tined to become in time the best State
Of the Union, and delight in watching
her progress in this direction. \ great
deal of this report is taken up with
fruit culture for market and for profit,
which it is quite right and proper
should be considered but there is
quite enough of the finer matters to
show that the Minnesotians fully I'M
derstand that man is not to live by
bread alone.
We believe that taking all in all, that
there are no better vegetables grown
IN the wide world than those produced
in the two northwestern states of Wis
conSin and Minnesota.

Many who are suffering from the eff
tects of the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised 10y physicians to take 1uoder-
ate amounts of whisky two or three times
during the day. In little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of "drinks," and in time become
confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will
not create thirst for Intoxicating liquors,
and which is intended especially for the ben
eft of debilitated persons, whether at home
or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic.
containing the juices of many medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. Thenourishing and
life-suppOrting properties OF many valuable
natural productions contained in II and well
known to medical men have most strength
ening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over exertion
or from any cause whatever, wine glass full
OF See Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
tite for wholesome food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, we desire to say that the
excellent effects of Dr. Schenck's seasonablc
remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake
Pills, are particularly evident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected by a change
OF water and diet. No person should leave
home without taking supply OF these safe
guards along. For sale by all Druggists.

Harvesting Corn.

4 friend suggests that if the farmers
ef the State would cut their corn stalks
close to the ground when they cut up
their fields in the fall of the year that
they would obtain considerable more
corn. lie says that about the middle
of September, he selected a place of
uniform appearance III soil, size, and
ripeness. He then proceeded to cut
close to the ground across five rows,
taking two hills from each, and placing
them together in an upright position,
binding the toos tightly. Next, cut or
topped the stalks from an equal num-
Der of hills in the same row. and last
~, left two hills natural. in each Of the
same rows, making thirty in all, or ten
of each kind. When tusked and care
fully weighed each parcel separately,
the result was as follows:
