Castoria.

1t is a mistake to suppose that Castoria is
not adapted to grown persons as well as
Children. They only need to increase the
quantity. But children have so many COM
plants for which Castoria IS adapted-likc
wind Collie, Sour Stomach, Worms, let
tiers, Tccthing and Group, that it Is especi-
ally recommended for them.
Its effects arc more certain than Castor
Oil. 1t contains no alchohoi and is as
pleasant to take rs honey. 1t never
gripes. BY regulating the stomach and
bowels the Cas.0ria cOOIs the blood, ex-
pels W orms and presents fevcrshncss, quiets
the nerves and produces heath-them of
course children can sleep i'll quiet and
mothers Gun rest.
Castoria is recommend by all physic-
ians and nurses who have tried it, and it is
having rapidly increasing sale. 1t is pre-
pared with great care after the recipe of DR..

more than y quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-

stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafed the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not intiamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.

But few Christians reproduce the
feeling of children towards parent in
respect to trust. They believe in God
upon visible evidence. Prosperity
makes them trustful. Trouble leaves
them without ray of quiet light
Men trust in God when they are in
health, in strength, when successful in
their affairs, or when surrounded by all
that heart can wish. When sick,
alone, baffled in their business, vexed
and troubled, hemmed in and shut up,
they fall away from confidence, and
go into despair.
You can leave your affairs to God
when they 60 well can you when
they 60 i'll ! You can rest quietly in
Gods hands when You are in health /;
can you when sick ! You can trust
your family with God when you are
comfortable and happy; can you
when you are perplexed how to get
along, and your children are sick, and
long sick !
But what is trust In God good for
that departs when you need ii, and
comes again only when you can get
along without it ! What is a ship
good tor that is safe in harbor but
unsafe on the ocean? What is a sail
good for that is sound in calm, but
splits in the first wind What pa
tience is that which only lasts when
there is nothing to bear Courage,
when there is no danger; trmness,
where is no pressure hope, when
everything is before the eyes what
are all these worth But such is the
trust which most Christians have in
God. II has no virtue in it. 1t IS like
a lighthouse that burns only in day.

Farmers Wives.

Some years ago was talking with DR..
Gray, chief physician in the New York
State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, and he
told me that, as class, more farmers
wives were brought TO That institution
than people OF any other occupation.
lie SAID "The reason why this is so,
is that their minds are constantly on the
interchangeable routine of work, from day
light IN the morning till late at night
no change-no relaxatlon-no rest"
Farmers should note this fact, and be
forewarned before it Is TO late. 1t is as
tonishing what vast amount of labor
farmers wives perform! Many of
them get up and have breakfast ready
before their husbands are out of bed.
Then it is work, work, work, ill near
midnight; the mind all the time being
on their duties-how they supply the
meals-bow washing and ironing are 10
be done-then the floors to be scrubbed
how the children are 10 be clothed and
kept tidy; and many other things, ali
combined, are enough TO break down
the strongest woman in the land
ain no case" said DIR. Gray, ais ii
safe TO be constantly thinking upon one
thing or subject" and in any cases where
the brain has become weakened by too
great strain on it, as with students,
and literary men, the remedy is rest and
out door recreations. Then men are in
trouble, constant brooding over it is
dangerous. The mind should be drawn
away from it as much as possible.
Farmers, your duties to your wives
are plain. Don't allow them to over
work, wear out permanently. 1t is bet
ter to lcave few acres less to your heirs,
and less in bonds and mortgages, than
10 see your wives go down to premature
graves, with the epitaph, "Died Of farm

it of calling on the lady and repeating

Fields; 81 would beat him on his own

The Land Grant DecisiOn.

The late decision of the supreme court
Of the United States affecting the inter
ests Of land grant railroads in the trans
portation of United States property and
troops, is Of importance to nearly all
our western roadside Kansas Pacific,
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Fort
Scott, and other roads. The clause first
inserted in the grant to the Illinois Cen
trail became part Of legislation TO al!
grants.
1t has been held by the government TO
mean the free transportation OF proper
ty, troops, ect, and on the part of the
roads merely 10 give preference, or the
use of the roads whenever required.
This decision practically atlirms the con
struction Of the roads, and we believe
will generally be acceptable to the peo-
pie.
The government business is an item OF
very great importance TO the roads in
this new country, and Its transportation
at regular rates is great saving 10 the
government over the old methods, in
money, to say nothing of time-and we
do not believe the people ever demand
cd the construction put on the law by
the secretary ofthe treasury. But after
all, il is perhaps better to have it settled
as it is-for that is the end of il.
The barrassmcnts OF the Kansas
Pacific were in great measure due to
withholding its earnings from govern
ment transportation: and had this decis-
ion been six months earlier in delivery,
that company would, no doubt, have
been able to tide over into the better
times that are coming.-Kansas City

An Effort TO Elsentangle the compromise
Wph

Let us, in a brief space, try tonutapg-
lie the web of this compromise plan, and
got at the powers it really confers on the
proposed c)mm ission.
FIRST then, the bill authorizes the
commission to "rake into view such Pc
titions, dispositions and other papers, u
ann, as shall by the constitution and
now existing laws be competent and
pertinent"
What petitions, dispositions, etc., does
the constitution, in the opinion OF Con-
gress, decide TO be pertinent!
Congress does not know.
What petitions etc., do the existing
laws authorize 10 be considered, in the
opinion of Congress +? Congress docs not
know what. How is Congress to find out
what its opinion is upon this matter.
By leaving IT TO the commission.
What will the commission decled TO be
the opinion of Congress.
That depends upon the choice. of the
fifth Judge.
The five members of the commission
on the part of the Senate will supposedly
be of the opinion that no petitions, depo-
stions, etc /, Whatever, are pertinent.
The five mem bers on the part of the
houses will supposedly be of the opinion
that the commission can go behind the
returns and examine everything.
The two Republican members Of the
supreme court will supposedly entertain
the opinion of Republicans generally,
and agree with the five members OF the
Senate.
The two Democratic members Of the
court will supposedly entertain the
opinion Of the Democrats generally,
and agree with the five members Of the
house.
Congress, so far, therefore, is no near
or discovering what Its opinion is upon
this question than at the start. The
fifth Judge comes in now, however, and
can decide the question one way or the
other liza Republican, he will likely
decide II from a Republican standpoint.
fla Democrat, from Dem ocratic stand
point; and in either case, no doubt, will
decide conscicnti) usly, and so far as ho
is individually concerned, fairly. So al
last the great question as 10 the powers
of Congress under the constitution and
as to what in the opinion Of Congress
those powers really are, depends upon
whether the copper which is tossed up
for the fifth Judge shall come DOM head
or tail. For Congress makes the forth
coming Interpretation of the commits
sion, as we showed the other day, prac-
tically irrevocablc. 1t agrees to adopt
this fifth mans opinion as its own opin-
ion. 1t says TO this judge, "Tcll me
what my opinion is in regard 10 The
matter, and will adopt it and legislatc
in accordance herewith" The fifth
Judge becomes sort af guardian al in
term for Congress, and, from recent
displays by thai body; we are not sure
but 1T needs such an official. This in
brief is the compromise bill, the leg;t-
innate offspring and heir-at-law to what is
known as the "Mlssissippi plan"
