8 What Everybody Says Must be True.'

The incontrovertible testimony offered
by those who have used DIR. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription induced the doctor to sell it
under positive guarantee. Many ladies
have refrained from using it on account of
general feeling of prejudice against advertis
ed medicines. Let me ask question. Are
you preJudlced against sewing machines be-
cause you have seen them advertised? or
can you doubt the ingenuity and skill re-
quired III their invention? Again, would
you refuse to insure your house because the
company advertised that it had paid millions
in losses, and yet had a capital of several
millions? Do such advertisements shake
your confidence, and create prejudices?
Then why refuse to credit the testimony of
those who have found the Favorite Prescrip-
ton to be all that is claimed for it in over
coming those ailments peculiar to your sex?
Why submit to the use of harsh, and perhaps
caustc treatment, thus aggravating your
malady, when relief is guaranteed, and a
positive, perfect, and permanent cure has
been effected in thousands of cases?

SUNsTROKE.
Prevention and Treatment of Coup de
Soleil

From the n. y. Tribune
As the heated term approaches the
rules for the prevention and treatment
of sunstroke gain new interest. The
Board of Health has collected some in
formation upon this subject in the form
of a circular. Copies have been printed
in English and in German, and are to be
circulated through the city very soon,
especially among the laboring classes.
The following is the principal part of
the report:
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat.
and especially if the weather is ''muggy."
1t is more apt to occur on the second
third, or fourth day of a heated term
than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry,
excitement, close sleeping rooms, debil-
ity. abuse of stimulants, predispose to it..
1t is more apt to attack those working
in the sun, and especially between the
hours of IL o'clock in the forenoon and 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. On hot DAYS
wear thin clothing. Have as cool
sleep and all unnecessary fatigue. If
working indoors, and where there is arti-
fetal -laundries, &c. see that the
room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear a light
hat mot black, as it absorbs the heat),
straw, etc, and put inside of it on Il. e
head wet cloth on a large green leaf
frequently lift the hat from the head
and see that the cloth is wet Do not
check perspiration, but drink what water
you need to keep it up, as perspiration
prevents the body from being overhead
ed. Have, whenever possible, an addi-
tional shade, as thin umbrella, when
walking, canvas or bOard-cover when
working in the sun. When much
fatigued do not 90 to work, especially
after eleven o'clock in the morning on
very hot days if the work is in the sun.
If feeling of fatigue, dizziness, head
ache, or exhaustion occurs, cease work
Immediately, lie down in shady and
cool place; apply cool cloths to and
pour cold water over head and neck. If
any one is overcome by the heat send
Immediately for the nearest good physi-
clan. While waiting for the physician
give the person cool drinks of water or
cold black tea, or cold coffee, if able to
swallow If the skin is hot and dry,
sponge with, or pour cold water over the
body and limbs, and apply to the mead
pounded ice wrapped in towel or other
cloth. If there is no ice at hand keep a
cold cloth on the head, and pour cold
water on it as on the body If the person
is pale, very faint and pulse feeble, let
him inhale ammonia for few seconds,
or give him teaspoonful of aromatic
spirits of ammonia in two tablespoonful
of water with little sugar.

Jugglery.

japanese street jugglers do some Won
derful things, They will take an ordin-
airy peg-top and set it spinning in the air,
then catch it in the hand and transfer it
to the keen edge of a sword blade, max
ing it traverse from hilt to point, and
back again by inclining the weapon, the
top swimming all the while. Another
feat is performed as follows: They
set trop spinning in the air and
then throw the end of the string
toward it, causing it to wind itself with
the string, the other end being retained
in the hand, so that the top returns to
the hand properly wound and ready to
spin again.

The Oldest Locomotive Engineer

Mr.. [. Van Buren,, GAINESVILLE, Ga,
recently wrote to to the Scientific Ameri-
can stating that he had operated a Ste
phenson engine in 1882, and he therefore
claimed the title of the coolest locomo-
tive engineer" Mr.. John Ericsson. of
New York, however, writes to the same
paper stating that he designed and super
intended the construction of the first
fast locomotive engine, the q Novelty"
during the summer of 1920, and that in
the month of October he ran that engine
on the Liverpool and Manchester Rail
way against George Stephenson's Rock
ct" beating the latter in. speed, though
not in tractive power. The London
Times of October Sth, 1929, speaking of
the " Novelty" said: " 1t shot along the
line at the amazing rate of thirty miles
an hour. 1t seemed, indeed, to fly, pre-
senting one of the most sublime specta-
cles of human ingenuity and human
daring the world ever beheld." Mr..
Van Buren, is II years of age, and
mounts a horse as spry as when 45
years old" and Mr. Ericsson says of him
self, that, although he is now Is years
old, he works at the drawing table regu-
larly q from eight to ten hours every
day at all seasons" That Mr.. Ericsson
has drawn to good purpose will be gen
orally admitted, for besides his inventions
of caloric engines, he was the first
| builder of a war steamer in which a
propeller or screw was used, and was
made famous by his application of the
revolving turret to a hull impregnable
to shot, the vessels made on this system
being known, from the name of the first,
as monitors. 1t would require much
space to recount all of Mr.. Ericsson's
useful inventions, but he evidently looks
back with just pride to the /" Novelty"
locomotive, which was built by him at
! the age of %.

Then | Will" he exclaimed, and
advancing towards her, seized her arm to
drag her forth, but she clung to him
with convulsive rage. The struggle was
severe, and he had nearly succeeded in
his purpose when she demanded to be
allowed to leave the castle without force.

lalth's arms, for she had an unaccounta-
bic feeling of dread which she could not
conquer. Scanlan himself, while he held
her firmly by the arm, obeyed her with
reluctance. 1t was moment of awful
silence as Saova stood before the tremb-
ling Elline. Slowly she raised the veil
which had concealed her features. Then
presenting the youth to his lovely bride,
she screamed aloud:
Elline Mccarthy, | here present to
you Seaman, the chief of the Glen y
The youth instantly dropped the arm he
had grasped, Elline fell upon her knees,
and Lady Gromlaith stood motionless
with horror. A loud, fiendish laugh
burst from Saova asshe exclaimed trium-
phantly, CHOW, Chief Of the Glen,
where are your boosted ramparts?
Where your good sword to defend you
from the vengeance of a poor, weak
woman? Why stand you all aghast?
Why gaze on me as if in fear? IT'S true

whom | have breathed. Look on your
bride; see how beautiful she is. | was
once as fair. Now what am |? and who
made me what | am?"
Fiend-like she sprang upon the object
of her hate, chung to him like a serpent,
and covered his face and lips with deadly
kisses. During this horrible struggle
neither his mother nor Elline dared ap-
proach to assist him; they saw him
writing beneath the poisonous embraces
of the wretched woman, and could only
weep and call for help. At length the
vassals came; but at the sight of Saova
they stood petrified and immovable, not
daring to approach beyond the threshold
The frightful contest was terminated by
Scanlan's plunging his sword into
Saova's bosom. For several days the
young chieftian's life was despaired of.
During this time the Lady Gromlaith
made a VOW to bestow a silver lampupon
the blessed Saint Finan Lobhra if her
son recovered from his present danger.
She also made gift to monastery to
defray the expense Of keeping the lamp
constantly burning before the altar, both
by day and night. The Chief of the
Glen recovered, but the legend says he
never afterwards bad the use of his right
arm, which was the cause of his having
the appellation of "Scanlan the
Scathed," and that Elline fell a victim to
the dreadful pestilence which ravaged
this fair island

BeWildered Hens.

Much interest attached to the expert
ments by which Kircher bewildered hens
He described the fowls as standing per-
.fectly stupid and motionless after he had
merely manipulated them by gentle pat
ting, and had put their heads down so
that they looked at chalk line drawn
on board. Czermark followed up the
experiments, and succeeded with other
birds, large and small. Preyer of Jena
extended the process to rabbits, guinea
pigs and frogs. DR.. Emil Hewbel of
Kew has gone further in this line than
any of his predecessors. He places a
frog on its back, with its leg and thigh
fiexed, and holds it quiet for short
time. Thereupon the frog remained in
that position, motionless, except as to
breathing, for one, two, three, or even
five or six hours. Hypnotism has been
assigned as the explanation of such per-
formances, but DR. Hewbel seems to have
proved that they are quite independent
of the power of vision. The quietude
lasts too long in the frogs case to be the
resignation of terror. DIR. Hewbel con-
Guides that the animals are simply and
only asleep. They can be awakened
from the trance very easily. 1t is to be
said, however, that sometimes while in
this dozed condition they manifest cata-
leptc symptoms.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that we never sing
And names that are never spoken,
There are treasures guarded with jealous care
And kept rs a sacred token,
There the faded flowers and letters dim
With the tears that have rained above them.
For the tickle words and faithess hearts
That taught us how to love them.
There are signs that come in our joyous hours
To chasten our dreams of gladness.
And tears that spring to our aching ewes
In hours of thoughtful sadness
For the blithest birds that sing in sprinr

And lips that we kiseed in fondest love
viii smile on the first new conner.
Over the breast where lilies rest
In white hands still forever.
The roses of June will nod and blow.
Unheeding the hearts that sever,
And lips that culver in silent grief.
All words OF hope refusing

That perish with the using.

Love and its sweet elysian

And the itful dream is over.

In view of the low price of cotton this
year, and the certainty that the credit
system will be very materially curtailed
another year, requiring planters more
than ever to depend upon themselves for
provisions, and, also, the probable high
price of -four By the continuance Of the
Turkish war, We earnestly appeal to
planters to SOW more wheat, to all SOW
wheat this fall, and make their own
bread at home. Reapers and threshers
are now cheaper than ever known before,
making it comparatively an easy task to
harvest the wheat crop.
Flour mills, too, are being erected in
various portions Of the State to grind
wheat to the very best advantage, but to
make this crop remuncratiye, let pains
be taken to prepare the land right, and
success will repay the labor bestowed in
so doing, Upon this subject, the Deca-
tur ala News thus urges a heavy SOW
in Of wheat this fall;
A revolution Of farm products is grad
ualIy, yet, surely taking place, and will,
we verify believe, in the next few years
result in an entire new theory and prac-
tice. The Grange organization has doubt
less contributed much to effect this de
sirable and salutary end, for under its
development, not only has the character
of crop been changed, but the selection
Of seed to sow has been iudiciously made
and a general and almost incredible i'm
provement is the result. This Of course
is highly gratifying to every patron OF
husbandry, and ought to encourage the
order to renewed and Jealous activity
But we are wandering from the object
that was before our mind when we sat
down to write this article, which is to
suggest to each farmer the importance
of sowing larger acreage OF wheat this
fail than they have heretofore done, and
also the necessity Of thoroughly preparing
the ground before the grain is sowed.
The want Of this, we are satisfied from
conversation with experienced wheat
growers, as well rs reading much thai
has been written upon the subject, Is the
cause, no doubt, III many Instances, why
many do not have more bountiful har
vests than they do. The Indifferent prac
tice that many have of throwing down
the grain on top of the hard ground
without any previous preparation, anC
then ploughing, or, rather, scratching i
in, is now entirely abandoned in Middle
Tennessee and other places where large
yields are realized. Competent Judge
have said that we have a favorable eli
mate and soil well adapted to raising
wheat, and the experience of the few
North Alabama farmers who have taker
the pains to prepare their ground, vii
corroborate this opinion.

lady GrAnECrs.

Tn an essay read at the Cloverdale
Grange by the Assistant Steward, as re-
ported in the Southern Farmer, the fair
speaker held the following:
1t is the duty Of the good lady
Granger to make home neat, beautiful
and attractive: to embellish it with flow
ers, adorn it with shrubbery, and to dee
crate it with vines. The goodIy and
cheering sight of these will Danish the
cares and fatigue of father, brother or
husband, when he returns from the hot
and toiliug scenes of the fields.
1t is also the duty Of the lady Granger
TO look after the vegetable garden, with
out which, no rural home is complete,
and no farmer is happy. This, how
ever, is no unpleasant occupation, pro-
vded we have some one to do the work
when we say it is needed, and which we
would here remind the other side of the
Order, that it is their duty to furnish,
and which duty they have remarkable
talent Tor forgetting.
Again, the lady Granger is expected
to look after the poultry department of
the farm. This is very pleasant en-
plovment if the so-called ''Lord of
Creation" would have nice poultry
yard fixed, and a good comfortable
house for the chickens built therein.
Besides it gladdens his heart to see large
fiocks of chickens and turkeys as he en-
tiers the refreshing shade of the farm
house, and his eyes brighten as he
thinks of the magnificent dinner at the
grange meeting next Thursday, or antic-
ipates the contents of the table ut home
next Sunday All this must not be
omitted, or there will be cloud on the
face of the major Domo," however
brightly the sun may shine, the flowers
bloom, the birds sing, or YOU smile.
