OF every seal caught at winter sta
ton small pieces of flesh, with proper
tomato share of blubber, were dis
tributed among all the place-fellows In
this way the very poorest could never
want for seal meat or lamp-oil, provided
the usual capture of seal did not fail
There could be no Esquimaux Jack Hor-
ner, sitting on the edge of the house all
alone, and munching the seal which they
had been fortunate enough to harpoon.
Beyond the confines of the district in
habited by such a community any one
was at liberty to set up his house and
hunt and fish, and every one, whether in
a community or out of it, had the right
to all drift-wood he found and was strong
enough to carry up on the shore above
high-water mark, taking care to put a
stone upon it to mark it as his own. If
a seal was harpooned and, escaped with
the harpoon sticking in it it belonged to
the harpooner so long as the bladder was
attached to the harpOon. If two hunters

large animals, as walrusses and bears,

could only be secured by the united
strength of the community. In case no

WIDOU TAN COTT.

Hel. Innocent Little Drama to illustrate
the Truth She breaches.
The widow Van Cett gave a descrip-
tive and pantomimic illustration of
Moody and Sankey's hymn, Ninety
and nine" in the West Thirtieth street
Methodist meeting house, New York,
last "Wednesday evening. She looked
over the preachers desk at an imaginary
flock of sheep, and personatinga shepherd
and pointing with her finger, began to
count, one, two, three, etc. said she,
There are only ninety-nine sheep. There
ought to be a hundred. One is missing.
Where is it ?" The widow looked here
and there, and TO the right and left.
Her face expressed and her manner be
tokened the utmost anxiety. Suddenly
she assumed a listening attitude, and
said: 81 hear the bleating of a sheep
far of on the mountain side. 1t is the
lost one out of the fold, in the cold and
stormy weather. I must go and get it
before it perishes with hunger and cold"
Then Mrs. Van Colt took few quick
steps as though going after the lost sheep.
She stopped and made believe lift the
imaginary sheep Throwing the animal
over her shoulder, she marched back
across the platform, rejoicing that the
lost had been found. She said: So
the Lord rejoices over one sinner saved. 3"
Curiosity was again excited by the lady
preacher putting her hand in her pocket
and withdrawing it with some imaginary
silver coins in her palm. She counted
them. There were only nine, when
there should have been ten. Then in
pantomime she feigned holding a lighted
candle and searching on the floor for the
lost coin. She mimicked a woman sweep
ing with broom. At last the missing
piece was found, and the widows face
was radiant with JOY. Mrs. Van Colt
made the same application to tAi:

to 500, and are warranted by fur-dealers
to make any lady look young. En-
mine has ne longer considerable mar
ket here For street wear 1t has been
entirely given up, except tor children
1t is fitfGlly used to line opera cloaks,
and some of the principal fuTriers are en-
Ieavoring to put it for that purpose into
more extensive sale. Mink is as fash
ionable as it ever was outside OF New
York, but ne one III the city buys 1t.
All mink furs, taken in the right season,
are durable, but they quickly fade.
New York and Canada minks are the
darkest and best, and sets of these, which
once were sold for 1925 to $3.50, can now
be bought for 800. Thefur Of the skunk
described by the trade as the Alaska
sable and suddenly pOpularized few
years ago, is still in fashion. When ii
was first introduced even its vile
smell could not repulse its adj
mirers, and now that a process
has been discovered for completely
deodorizing it, it will continue to sell be
cause of its glossy beauty and its cheap
ness. English died furs of the American
lynx are equally liked. They are black
and handsome, but frail. A single seasO
will finish a set of them, which, like a
best set of Alaska sable, is cheap at $40
to $25. One of the most comfortable
and luxurious uses TO which furs are put
is the lining of warm winter silken
wraps. Sicilienne wraps, fur-lined, are
even better than silk ones and more last
ing. Sicilienne does not shine like silk
after years wear, and it is now largely
imported by furriers. Sicilienne sacques
and silk dolmans are lined with the skins
of Siberian squirrels, whose beautiful
gray backs and lighter colOred bellies
make a pretty shifting contrast. Such
sacques, with border of squirrel edging,
are set off by oxidized clasps, and are
fixed at 1925 to $160. Quantities of furs
are now used for trimmings. The manu-
facture of fur trimmings is greater than
it has ever been, partly because people 81
moderate and small means can afford
| them as ornaments, while they cannot af-
ford to buy full fur sets. OF these
trimmings there is almost an endless va
riety, the richest being of the skins OF
the black martin Hudson bay sable), the
black and silver fox. the gray fox and
the cross. This fall too, great numbers
of fox edgings are being sold, taking tc
some extent the place of trimmings by
eking out the fashionable lengths o.

Speciality ia Farming.

Every day it is becoming more and
more apparent that to obtain pecuniary
success in farming brainwork is as es-
sential as muscle-work. Farmers can
not be equally successful in all the
branches of husbandry. They should
have some speciality in which they should
strive to obtain the highest success-and
still have other branches to fall back
upon, if required. The lawyer who ex-
poets 10 become equally celebrated in
admiralty law, constitutional law, &C.,
makes great mistake. He may, by
giving undivided attention to one of
these branches, become eminent in it
but if ne divides his labor among them
all he will not be distinguished in any.
The farmer may be successful in sheep,
or cattle, or hogs, or horses, or dairying,
or fruit-growing, or as vineyardist, or
in n-growing-but if he undertakes
all of these he makes great mistake.
Hs.should select some branch suited to
his taste and strive to obtain the highest
success in it. He can do it il he will
strive for it--post himself in regard to it.,
see what other men in the same pursuit
are doing, and adopt the experience and
wisdom of others.

Ro,c to Fatten Stock.

An old farmer thus relates his ex-
perience in fattening beef and feeding
cows for milk; "My practice in fatten-
ing beef and swine, as well as feeding
COWS for milk, has been to pour boiling
water on as much meal as would not
make the animals bowels move too
freely, at night and in the morning
when the mash is cool give it to the COW
or pigs In covering the meal with boil
ing water in this way the starch of the
meal is dissolved, and the latent nutri-
tive properties extracted, and the ami
NAL receives the entire nutriment of the
grain. / have for two years past fatted
two ordinary sized cows, feeding only
meal and hay. and only three hundred
pounds each of the former, and each
yielded upward of forty pounds of rough
tallow. Salt was given once a week.
and occasionally tablespoonful of wood
ashes In my experience one hundred
pounds scalded and fed as above is equal
to two hundred pounds fed drv.

When candidate for high office is so well
liked and so popular with the masses as to
make his defeat difficult in a fair and hon
orable fight, mean and cowardly men are
not wanting who delight in manufacturing
lies and slandering his good name. There
are also those whose selfishness prompt them
to prostitute their honor, pervert truth, and
ignore right, for the sake of injuring a
competitor in business, whose prosperity
they envy, and with whose business sagacity
they have not the talent to successfully COM
pete in an honorable way. These thoughts
are suggested by the mean, cowardly attacks
made upon me and my medicines, by those
who imagine their peeuniary prospects in
iured by the great popularity which my
standard medicines have acquired and the
continued growth of my professional prac-
tice, Narrow-minded practitioners of medi-
cine, and manufacturers of preparations
which do not possess sufficient merit to sue
cessfully compete for popular favor, have
resorted to such cowardly strategy as to pub
lish all sorts of ridiculous reports about the
compositions of my medicines. Almanacs,
" Receipt Books" and other pamphlets, are
issued and scattered broadcast over the land,
wherein these contemplate knaves publish
pretended analyses OF my medicines, and
receipts for making them. Some of these
publications are given high-sounding names,
pretend to be issued by respectable men of
education and position, for the good of the
people-the more completely to blind the
reader to the real object in their circulation,
which is to injure the sale of my medicines.
THE Popular Health Aln.lnac - is the high
sounding name of one of these publications,
which contains bogus receipts without a
grain of truth in them. Not less devoid of
truth are those which have been published
by one Dr. L., of Detroit, in the Michigan
Farmer, and by other manufacturers of
medicines, in several so-called journals of
Pharmacy. They are all prompted by jeal-
ously and utterly fail in accomplishing the
object of their authors, for, notwithstanding
their free circulation, my medicines continue
to sell more largely than any others manu-
featured in this country, and are constantly
increasing in sale despite the base lies con-
cocted and circulated by such knaves. The
people find that these medicines possess
genuine merit accomplish what their manu-
facturer claims for them, and are not the
vile. poisonous nostrums which jealous, nar-s
row-nninded physicians and sneaklng COM
Founders of competing medicines represent
them to be. Among the large number of
pretended analyses published, it is signif-
cant fact that no two have been at all alike
conclusively proving the dishonesty OF their
authors. 1t is enough for the people to know
that while thousands, yes may truthfully
saw millions, have taken my medicines and
have been cured no one has ever received,
injury from their use.

AGRICULTURAL.
MHfdS.

The chufa interest is now running
high again-everybody wants to plant
chufas this year. We are glad OF 1t.
That the chufas is success as hog feed
there can now be no shadow of doubt
Persons who have given it thorough
test are united in the opinion, so far as
we have heard, that good pork can be
made of chufas at from three to FIVE cents
per pound. Not few have published 1t
as their opinion that one acre in chufas,
on good land in the south will make
more pork than three acres of good land
in corn at the north. If all this is so,
then why do we not make arrangements
at once to move our smoke-houses home
we who all live have had them away
up somewhere in Illinois, Iowa or OhioY
The notion prevailing in some localities
to the effect that chu!as are pest Is
nonsense. We have grown the crop on
our place for several years and find it no
more pest than corn or oats.-Nobae

x,nnIL Er,,it in Gardens.

But few people seem to know the val

grown in their own gardens. You com
menoe with strawberries; they continue
about a month You pick perhaps six
to twelve quarts per day. You have
them on your table as dessert, if you
please, ut noon, and your tea table is
loaded with them at evening and you
want little else but your bread and but

or another about eight quarts day, and
while they last no medicines for bodily
ailments are required, as a quart OF
Strawberries daily will generally disPel
all ordinary diseases not permanently set
tied in the system. After strawberries,
raspberries come, TO continue about
three weeks; then we have blackberries
where the climate is not too cold for the
cultivated varieties then the currants
ripen, which remain with us till the
early grapes mature and taking the
season through, any family with half an
acre of ground in garden can grow
small fruits that make country life de-
Iightful, and at the same time hundreds
of dollars can be saved in the supply of
the table, as the writer knows, from
forty years experience.

order to keep the one through which
breathing was carried on free from the
distractions of blood and membrane
which were given off in coughing. The
tubes were in use from the Tuesday noon
until the Thursday of the following
week. and for five days the only nour-

A Tarfed Diet for Fouls.

There are no animals more omniyorous
than fowls; fish, flesh, herbs and grains
being devoured by them with equal
relish. We say equal, for though they
commonly pounce upon meat with
greater avidity than upon grain, this is
generally because it affords a rarity, and
a flock kept for awhile almost entirely
on animal food will show the same greed
for few handfuls of corn.
The fondness for variety shown by
fowlsis as significant of real needs as we
have fonnd it to be in ourselves. In

Ho.e Much Money 2

A cow should bring each year to the
owner at least forty dollars; that is to
say, a COW should be worth to the farmer
in good, .rue, lawful money forty dollars
per year. A good, fair, average COW,
when cheese will bring fifteen cents per
pound, will be worth fifty dollars per
year to the farmer. We mean the west
ern COW we mean, too, when the COW is
well cared for, carefully MIXED and
properly fed When butter is worth
thirty cents per pound, which city folks
have 20 pay for good, clean, fresh butter,
good COW will bring more than fifty
dollars per year to its owner; but, how
ever good cow may be, unless proper
care Is observed the COW will not pay for
her keeping. And yet a COW only wants
to have plenty of food, kept warm and
clean in the winter, with plenty of good
water, treated kindly, never hunted by
dogs or kicked or beat by man, and she
will be worth double to the farmer than
wuen no attention is given to her com
fort.

Labrador and Quebec. The surround

hundred fishermen living in rude but
comfortable cabins on Anticosti. These
have earned an ample livelihood by cur

Gaspe bay, where their supply mer-
chants are located. A Quebec steamer,

DOGS AND WoLvEs-Unlike the fox
the wolf when overpowered by numbers,
becomes cowed and dies meekly. A wolf
surrounded in this way suffers himself to
be killed by exhausting his strength in
the struggle. But woe to the luckless
cur that meets him alone in the forest
unless of a size to inspire respect, or of
strength to exact it. The wolf takes
kindly to dogs flesh, notwithstanding
the dogs horror of wolf flesh and, when
rendered bold by hunger, the wolf ap-
proaches the village, his lure is not so
much the farm live stock, which he
knows to be well guarded, as the stray
eur which he expects to find at large and
unprotected. In some parts of Europe
scarcely winter passes without visit
from the wolves, and the smaller dogs
are nearly always the first victims.
Sweeping through the village at dusk or
daybreak, they snap up and bear of.
without stopping, some bowling mongrel
unable to get out of their way in time.

Polish for Furniture.

To polish furniture, use equal parts OF
boiled llnseed oil and kerosene. Apply
with flannel and rub dry with another
flannel. 1t Will remove all white marks
and all the scratches, and should be kept
always ready for use. 1t gives room
fresh appearance to rub all the furniture
with this preparation One feels well
rewarded for the labor. If any white
spots are so firmly fixed that the polish
does not remove them, it can be done by
rubbing with turpentine, and then hold
ing hot shovel over them.
