A Rich Man Starved

$50 Jones is dead?" said one
Sumerville man to another.
Eyes, poor fellow" was the reply,
she's gone"
''What did he die of2'' inquired
the first speaker.
Starvation" was the answer.
starvation Good gracious, the
man was worth $5O,OO0r'
II know that; nevertheless, he
died of starvation. I'll tell you
how it was. Jones was always fan
cying that there was something the
matter with him; so he went to the
doctor one day and had himself ex-
amined, and the doctor informed
him that he had kidney disease, and
that, besides taking medicine, he
must diet himself Said the doc
tor: You must avoid all kinds of
salt, salt fish, potatoes, cabbage and
vegetables of every kind Jones
followed the advice, but found him
self no better. He went to another
doctor, and, after being examined,
was informed that he must avoid
all kinds of fresh meats also. This
did not do him any good, as he
thought, and he went to another
doctor, VIII highly approved of the
advice which mad previously been
given, and further warned him
against all kinds of pastry, likewise
shell fish, including oysters and
clans. The best thing for ysu is
milk diet said this doctor; so
Jones lived entirely on milk. Not
feeling himself any better he went
to another doctor, who advised him
to avoid milk above all things if he
wanted to get well. This reduced
Jones to a diet of cold water and
fresh air; finding himself no better
under this regime, he went to an
other doctor, who advised him to
beware of drinking too much water
and being too much in the air
This last advice cut off the last
of Jones'. articles of diet

Women as Dootors.

1t seems strange that heretofore
so few women have studied medi-
cine, and practiced as DOCTORS
Talented women have succeeded in
this capacity; and it may safely be
predicted that in the next half
century the number Of female NJ.
DIS will be largely multiplied. Any
woman with a good education and a
mature mind may succeed in this
profession, and can understand and
treat the diseases of her sex with
better success than a man who has
even better education in medicine
than she.
Forty years ago Miss Susan Ed
son, who is now a successful practic-
ing physician in the city of Wash
ington, d. c., and who enjoys a
world wide reputation, having been
the trusted and efficient nurse Of the
late President Garfield, was coun-
try school-teacher in Northern Ohio;
but she did not settle down to re
main snch all her life, but strug-
gled on and educated herself for 9
position where she has done and is
still doing great good. There is nc
avocation in which a woman may
do more good to her fellow sufferers
than in that of physician.
Miss Chapman of Pittsburg ha;
been a practicing physician in tha-
city tor the past eight years, and il
an accepted member of the county
and state medical societies.
DR. Mary Howard is reported al
having great success in her new

A Husbands Duty.


All admit that a sunshiny, che cry
home is greatly to be desired; and
many contend that it is the wife
that makes the home; that she
must be a perpetual sunbeam in the
house, that she must maintain a
calm and charming sweet demean-
or even though her husband is crus-
ty, sullen and unappreciative. No
man would be unWaveringly good
natured if he spent the days in such
a treadmill as his wife does. He
goes out and gets at least look at
the outside world daily, and he
doesn't always trouble himself to
bring a breath of life and cheer
with him when he comes home. If
he has trials in the way of business,
she has trials too, in nursery and
kitchen.
Margaret Sangster in writing of
sunshiny husbands says: "a sun
shiny husband makes a merry,
beautiful home, worth having,
worth working in and for. If the
man is breezy, CHEEKY. considerate,
and sympathetic, his wife sings in
her heart over her buildings and
the mending basket, counts the
hours till he returns at night, and
renews her youth in the security
she feels of his appreciation and
and admiration.
You may think it weak and child
ish if you please, but it is the adj
mired wife, the wife who hears
words of praise and receives smiles
of commentator, who is capable,
discreet, and executive. / have
seen timid, meek, elf-distrusting
little body fairly bloom into strong,
self-reliant womanhood, under the
tonic and the cordial of companion
ship with a husband who really
went out of his way to find coca
sion for showing her fully he trus-
ted her judgment, and how tenderly
he deferred to her opinion.
1t is just as much the husbands
duty to be cheerful as it is the
wife's to be patient; his right to
bring joy into the door, as it is
hers to sweep and garnish the
pleasant interior. A family where
the daily walk of the father makes
life a festival is filled with some
thing like heavenly benediction."

About Tennessee.

Capt. J. F. Merry, general west
ern passenger agent of the Illinois
Central Railroad, recently travelled
through West Tennessee. He writes
the Manchester (Iowa) Press a
long and interesting letter from
which we make the following ex-
tract
For three years we have extern
sIvely advertised the great north
west, and thousands of people have
pitched their tents in that territory
and expect to make for themselves
homes, In which we wish them the
greatest prosperity and comfort.
But the tide of emigration is chang
ing and letters are pouring in from
every direction, with questions as
to the best points for locations and
investments south. We unhesita-
ting say to the people of the north
west if you would invest in a sec
ton where the climate is equitable,
never very hot, or very cold, go to

The farmers of Wilson county
are saving their own clover seed.
They save, says the Register, $780,
600 year by this. The saving of
clover seed is beginning to be prac-
ticed in Giles also. The saving
is not alone in the cost of seed, but
it increases the use of them, more
clover is sown, more land is en-
riched and more money is made.
We have seen other specimens
of seed cotton out by the attach
ment to wheat thresher sold by
Buford Bros, and it seems the
work is perfectly done. Every
neighborhood ought to have one
Clover seed have averaged about Sc
for several years and at that high
figure our farmers have sown liber-
ally. When they get more plenti
full and cheap it will tell upon the
general prosperity.

A recent survey shows that the
valley Of the South Forked Deer
river reaches eastwardly to a point
within ten miles of the Tennessee
river, and the jackson Wing sug-
gests the plan of cutting a canal
about fifteen miles in length and
uniting the waters of the TWO rivers.
This would improve the navigation
on the Forked Deer and shorten the
distance between the upper Tennes-
see and the lower Mississippi about
1000 miles and make the short cut
a great thoroughfare for commerce.
There are no engineering difficulties
in the way and the project is well
worth considering.

The chief beneft that has az

The chief benefit that has ac-
crued and Is accruing to southern
people is the individual ability of
small farmers to own, and hold if
necessary, their own cotton. 1t
has been that our cotton belonged
to the commission merchant before
it was picked and must be hustled
of to him at his own price. The
farmer had already ''taken up" the
value of his crop. Southern farmers
are now getting ahead. The more
general this becomes, the surer and
larger their profits will be. A
farmer should live off his last crop
and not mortgage that that is
growing.

urraiD.

The Dayton Argus, in answer to
an inquiry for a remedy for this
disease, says: There is no infalli-
BILE remedy for murrain more than
other ills of man and beasts, but
we have a remedy, with considera-
BILE experience, that has never
failed us. Most any of the stock
powders, sulphur, salt petre, and
common salt frequently given, will
prevent distempers. When a COW
shows symptoms, however, of muir
rain, give J OF. calomel in ball OF
corn meal dough- so as it can be
forced down the throat; in - hours
after drench with pint each OF
castor and linseed oil, mixed with q
gill of spirits of turpentine. Ifthis
fails drive them to the
bone yard. Do not try other rene
dies with this.

This is especially true of a
family medicine, and it is posi-
tive proof that the remedy initiated
is of the highest value.
AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world
that Hop Bitters was the purest,
best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imita-
tions sprung up and began to steal
the notices in which the press and
people of the country had express
ed the merits of II. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffer-
ing invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name of
III. B.
Many others started nostrums
put up in similar style to I'll. b.,
with Yariously cunningly devised
names in which the word g Hop"
or Hops" were used in a way to
induce people to believe they were
the same as HOP Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, and especially those with the
word "Hop" or " Hops" in their
name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are lml-
tations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none
of them, but: Use nothing but
genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch
or cluster Of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else.

A Convenient Clothes Dryer.


We saw this summer in general
use in MICHIGAN a continuance for
driving washed clothes that is very
convenient, and so simple that any
handy farmer can make one. The
material consists of post six or
eight inches square and nine feet
long, two pieces of 2x4 fourteen
or sixteen feet long, round iron
spike, some nails and wire. Dress
top post off square and smooth; put
spike in the center of the top so the
as to show two or three inches; put
the post firmly in the ground and
let it show six or seven feet. Find
the exact center of the long
pieces, and notch each down so they
will fit one in another, forming a
perfect cross, bore a hole through
both pieces to receive the spike, then
nail the two pieces together firmly,
don t let the nails project through.
Now measure from spike hole,
out each arm, (long piece, and
bore one-qaarter or one-half inch
holes two feet apart for wires.
These holes should be accurately
placed and run horizontally.
Put the cross pieces on the post.
You have something like a wagon
wheel, with four spokes and no tire.
Now run galvanized wire through
wire holes, draw tight and fasten
by wrapping it around small nail,
or with a small staple, and the
thing is finished. The tub of
clothes does not have to be moved
up and down the yard, but stays in
one place till empty, the wheel be-
ing revolved by the hand till each
wire is full of clothes. Another adj
vantage is that any back yard is
large enough to give room for the
dryer.-Ex.

A Misnsad Word.

Perhaps the most abused word
in the language is professor.
There appears to be mania for at
taching it to all sorts and condi-
tions of men. Time was when the
word carried with it a certain sig
nifcance, but nowadays that sig
nifcance is found only in its sig
nifcance. A fedgling of one and
twenty who, to use the expression
of Ephraim Smooth, "rubbeth the
hair of the horse against the bow
els of the cat" or in other words,
plays the fiddle, is dubbed a profes-
sor. The bruisel, whose only am
bition is to knock out of all resem-
blance of humanity the face of his
opponent, is "profesor of the man
ly art" The negro who polishes
your boots for the magnificent re
Enumeration of five cents is perforce
a professor. The collector of the
city's garbage and the driver OF
the street sweeping machine are
professors, and so also are the oper-
ators to whose tender mercies
you submit your chin to be
reaped, with serious misgivings
concerning the salty of your throat,
and so on Gd infnituna This may
be all right, for it is a leveling age,
and what right has any man, no
matter what his moral or intellec-
tual standing, to possess and enjoy
q title which his fellow-men, no
matter how down in the social scale
he may be, has not the same right
to appropriate? But, for all that,
the indiscriminate use of the word
borders on absurdity, and if there
is any insignificance whatever in
the use of the title-if it carries
with it any particular honor, or if
it is symbolical of any special fit
ness as applied to the teachers of
any of the liberal.arts and sciences
then it should be applied only to
those who are entitled by high and
standing to rightly
wear it.
