America Ahead.

In this age OF hustle and hurry, an
age devoted to great projects and en-
terprises, the American people are
taking the lead in the futherance of
the sciences and arts, In these they
deserve to take a high rank, and
through the united work of millions
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state
and being placed on an equality with
the older continents beyond the
ocean. The American people are
fast under these influences, develop
ing into a nervous, energetic race, re
markable for its vim ard business
qualifications; yet there is danger
that in the course of years these very
elements may combine to the ruina-
ticn of the physical character of the
people, and leave them feeble and
altogether different from their fore
fathers. General debility is now
is now much more common than
formerly, and seems to be on the in
crease among the masses. Many
remedies have been extensively adj
vertised for this wide spread COM
plant, but none of these have been so
successful or met with such general
favor as PERUNA. Mr.. s. S. Cloudy,
of MassillOn, Stark county, Ohio,
writes that he has been troubled with
general debility and dyspepsia for
several years; that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints.
and that after using three bottles of
the medicine he was greatly relieved.
1t braced him right up and gave him
energy, and restored him to his
youthful vigor. He ascribes his cure
to PERUNA, and says it is a wonder
full remedy.

REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrivals of Cattle during the
week amounted to 2,S06 head, against
3,04l last week and 2,039 head the cor
responding week Of last year, and the
sales were | 1888 head, against 800 last
week, and l ,626 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
Trade in Beef Cattle has been fair
in the pens to-day, but the quality of
the offerings was not of as good an
average as last week, and there was a
much longer line of middle and "Om-
mon Cattle than there were then.
Prices, as to quality, show a slight
decline generally, though in some
few cases 80ic,, lower figures ', ere
accepted than ruled last week. Prices

THE SWINE MARKET.
The offerings show a considerable
increase this week over last weeks
numbers-over 500 head. The quail.
ity is near about the same as it was
then, only one dealer reporting his
stock as showing a falling off in that
respect-''mOre grassers"-amOng his

THE SHEEP MARKET.
The receipts--about 1900 head less

Next Weeks Events.

The interest in the grand series of
excursions over the B. q 0. to Bal
timore, Washington, Harper's Ferry,
Luray Caverns, Old Point Comfort,
Fortress Monroe, Mount Vernon, &C.,
increases as the time draws near.
Certainly no such attractive pro-
gramne has been offered by any great
railway line for years. There is al
most no end to the enjoyment pro-
vided. OF course Baltimore will be
the base of operations, all the special
trips named being from the Oriole
city. The B. & O.'s tickets will be
good to Baltimore, and sold at the
half rate, that is to say, one regular
fare for the round trip. Once in Bal
timore, the excursionist may enjoy
himselfat will. If he concludes to 90
on all the special excursions he does
so and pays accordingly. If only
part of them, then he pays for those
and no more. If none of them, then
he pays for none. This certainly is
the only fair basis upon which such
a series of excursions could be arrang.
ed, and must meet the endorsement
of all interested. Washington is but
forty miles from Baltimore, The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad running
trains between the two cities in the
lightning time of fifty minutes. The
fare for the round trip will be only
dollar and twenty cents. Baltimore
is already getting into her holiday
attire; stands are going up every
where, and as for Examinations and
The general lighting of the streets,
nothing like it was ever before at
tempted on the Continent. The idea
OF making the affaira summer Nights
Carnival was capital one, as not only
are effects gained at night of most
novel character, but time is given
during The day for excursionists to
visit points of interest within and
about the city. The scene in the har-
Dor on the night of the arrival of LORD
Baltimore will be something to re-
member for years, while the mystic
pageant on the last night of the Car
nlval will be as vision-a bright
and wonderful dream. The Mystic
Order of the Oriole will issue a pro.
gramme on the opening day of the
FESTIVAL, which for artistic beauty,
well written descriptive matter and
graphic portrayal of the pageant will
be wholly without precedent. 1t has

COnDer.ROOiHg,

The Scientific American mentions the
decline in the price Of copper as likely
to lead to the increased use of that met
al in building: At present the material
for copper roof costs at the outset,
only about twice as much as tin, and as
the latter must be repaired and painted
about once in three years, and in fifteen
or twenty years must be renewed alto
gether, the copper which never needs
painting, and is practically indestructi-
bic, is much the cheaper in the end.
There are IN Boston many copper roofs
put on about forty years ago, which
show no signs of deterioi alton; and the
metal is still much employed i'll that
city for cornices, cutters, and raln-Wa-
ter pipes, as we'll as for covering bay
windows, and in many other ways, in
place of galvanized iron, which IS much
inferior in beauty and durability, and
not very much cheaper. The copper
has the additional advantage of needing
no paint, so that the delicate lines ofar-
tistic work are in no danger of being
Glied up, and the metal increases rather
than diminishes in beauty, by the slow
formation of a blush green patlna over
it. For Hastings, as well As other por-
tons of roof-work copper Is much supe-
rior 10 zinc or tin, and with the aid Of a
certain amount of lead, the most diff

Women's Work Enlarged.

When woman can drive well, her
sphere of usefulness may Re very much
enlarged. In the country she can do a
thousand errands and large amount of
business which otherwise men would
have to do. The wife of farmer of my
acquaintance does all of the work which
would take him upon the road, except
marketing, and she does a considerable
amount of this as the marketing consists
in simply delivering things at the rail-
road station. They are prepared for
shipment at home and loaded by the
men and unloaded by the same sort of
help at the depot. Some one may say,
How can woman do her husband 8
riding around and her own work at the
same time~ Here ledger may he
balanced. The time of the man is worth
twice as much as the woman's, on the
basis of wages, and more too in this
case, as the man is taken away from
home and the oversight of the farm and
other men. After this column is footed,
hen add up the benefit of the wife sno
daughter in getting q change of fresi
air, and growing up to be able to hely
herself instead of being the helpless
thing woman too often Is. Give IT,
wife and daughter this change and
chance, and hire some one to take the
kitchen. This is good sense.-Rural

Drinking VIII. lie Eating.

Nature never intended for any one to
wash down their food while eating. She
has wisely placed salivary glands in va
rious places i'll our mouths; they secrete
fluid for the moistening, Besides o
chemical action of the food alter masli
cation. This gets the food IN a suitable
condition for swallowing. Drinking ev'
cry lew minutes while eating prevents
the usual flow of saliva; also it washes II
down before it can have chemical ac-
ton on certain portions of the food.
One of the most pernicious haoits to
health is drinking several tumblers OF
water while eating; better drink warm
drinks. The stomach will not digest
one particle of food when it has tenn
perature below hundred degrees of
Farenheit; neither will it digest one
atom of food until all the fluid is first alb
sorbed. No healthy person should
drink more than half pint Of some
fluid while taking food, and dyspeptics
-hould not drink drop while eating,
nor for three or four hours after.

A Boat With a History.

The St. Ignace Republican says: The
New Orleans is about to be sold at auc-
ton, which is my excuse for recalling
its very singular history. Near the close
Of the war, in. 1912, the United States
government began the construction oil
two three decked men-of-war, the one
at (the other near toy Sackett's Harbor,
n. Y. The irigate at Sackett's Harbor,
more advanced than the other, received
the name of New Orleans, name suf-
ticlent to fire the popular hearts in
those days, because concentrating
Gen. Jackson's magnificent victory OF
cotton bale fame. The need of a frlgate
as a countermatch to the Lawrence was
pressing, and the government was ex-
erting extraordinary energy in construc-
ton and equipment, since no vessel
sailing the stars and stripes could be
transferred from the Atlantic to Ontario,
the River st. Lawrence being fully in
possession OF the enemy, to say nothing
of Lachlne rapids, etc. In six weeks
from the time the first tree was felled,
the New Orleans was sheathed, two
decks in and the third partly laid.
The vessel lacked lining up, Inside
ceiling, portions of bulwarks, hatch
covers, etc.; and when the order
came to stop work because ofthe declar-
alton of peace, it was thought it could
have been launched in thirty days more
time. illustrating the grim energy OF
ur forefathers, it may be mentioned
that all this boats rigging was conveyed
at great expense and difficulty from New
York city via the Hudson and Mohawk
rivers in Utica, thence overland to Sack
ntt's Harbor. There were no railroads,
and the government road connecting
Utica and then the village of Sackett's
Harbor was very rough and rude high
way. The anchor chain of the New Or
leans, weighing eight thousand pounds,
was carried from Utica, ninety-six miles
to the harbor on the shoulders OF three
hundred men, who traced their way by
means of blazed trees. After the cessa-
ton of the war, the government ordered
the boat housed in to preserve it. A
double rooied building was according
ly erected over its three hundred odd
feet of length, which was blown down
some three years ago. Since then the
vessel has been the sport of storms,
and presents decidedly weatler-beat-
en- appearance Many of its timbers
have walked off in the shape of canes,
and t1-lay it stands awaiting its final de-
struction at the fall of the auctioneer's
hammer. 80

EalIV Corn.

The farmers never save enough seed
ofthesweet corn or early eight rowed
corn. And it is desired that every
farmer this fall will save sweet corn
enough for themselves and all of their
neighbors. But few this year have sucf
corn, and of course cannot save seed I'm.
less they go to their neighbors and buy
the privilege of saving seed from their
tiehs. 1t will certainly all be wanted.
The early eight rowed may not be want
ed, anu yet there has been scarcely a
year but what more has been wanted
than can be had. A few years ago the
agricultural rditor sold $50 bushels OF
early Compton corn. The next year,
our cror having been killed by hail
storm, we applied to several Of those to
whom we had sold the year previous
and could not get a gallon Of seed.
They had all neglected to save Inc re
than they wanted. In emergencies it is
good thing to have on hand.-Des

why a Horse "Interferes."

The reason a horse interferes, i. e.,
"cuts," is purely anatomical. If the
animal "tses outward" reject it for the
road; it is valueless; and for slow use,
half-price is enough; for breeding, PROB
ably good for nothing. The toe, knee
and shoulder are all in line with each
other, hence at every step the foot is
behind its mate and in bringing it for.
ward it cuts, cuffs or interferes, point
near the toe striking the opposite fetlock
or above it. There is no remedy. The
shoulders are not parallel, but set OBJ
llquely, the same as the foot. A horse
go made cannot help cutting, or if a
horse toes inward it is impossible for ii
to hit. The smith cannot make him cut,
nor prevent it in the other case.
