A Miraculous Escape.

The St. Louis, Mo-, Post Dispatch says:
A most remarkable case has just come to
the notice of a reporter of this paper, who
having been informed of the wonderful
cure of Mrs. Phoebe Rice, 1908 Madison
street. sister of Hon. I'll. Clay Sexton,
Chief of the st. Louis Fire Department,
visited that lady at her residence. Mrs.
Rice made her statement without the least
reluctance and said that for the past seven
years, she had been sufferer from acute,
inf1ammatory rheumatism, which had af-
fected the muscles of the hands, contract
ing them so badly she could not comb her
hair, hold needle or pick up pin, and
rendered the lower limbs so helpless she
required crutches to move about. During
ten months she was obliged to carry the
right hand in sling. Physicians were
called in, but gave her only temporary re-
lief. Some time ago one of her children
was afflicted with a contraction of the
muscles of the lower jaw, which turned
her mouth to one side; a few applications
Cf ST. Jacobs Oil restored the features to
their natural condition, and Mrs. Rice be-
gan to look hopefully towards it for her
own cure. A single application, she said,
made her firm believer in it's virtues, as
the effect was instantaneous and she was
greatly benefited. The continued use of
it brought her to the happy state in which
the reporter saw her, with the free use of
her limbs and in perfect health, cured.
She was very enthusiastic in her COM
mendations of the pain-relieving and cur
ative powers of ST. Jacobs Oil, which she
said had accomplished more for her in
few weeks than all the other remedies the
physicians had recommended in the past
seven years. She can now run up and
down stairs, she said, and her hands were
as useful, in every respect, as they had be-
fore she began to suffer, seven years ago.
"God bless ST. Jacobs OIL" the good lady
exclaimed, as the reporter was about to
leave. Mrs. Rice has lived in this city
thirty years, and her statement, worthy of
all credence, is fully corroborated by her
friends and neighbors, and by her own
children, who were fully cognizant of her
helpless condition before she began to use
the wonderful remedy.

When to Cut Grass.

The analytical chemist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, summing up
the results Of analysis Of nearly all the
cultivated grasses, says it is apparent
that in most cases the time of bloom,
or thereabout, is the fittest for cutting
grasses in order to obtain the most
nourishment and largest relatively
profitable crops, and for the following
reasons The amount of water has
diminished, and the shrinking there
fore will be less. The amount of nj
trogen not present as albuminoids will
be at its lowest point, fiber will not be
so excessive as to prevent digestion,
and the nutrive ratio will be more ad.
vantageous. lieut. earlier the shrink
age will be larger, although the fiber
is less and the albumen is a little larger.
The palatability may be increased, but
the total nutriments to the acre will not
be so large and the Autritive ratio will
be more abnormal. The disadvantages
of late cutting are evident in the in.
crease of fiber destroying the digest.
Utility of the nutriments, and the fall
ing off of the albumen by conversion
into amides. This is not made up by
the larger crop cut.

Eli Perkins has been taking look
at the wheat fields of the country and
he predicts that this years crop will
be the finest and largest ever raised
in this country. The yield, he says,
will be fully 6OO,OOO,OOO bushels, and
it will be laid down in Liverpool at
S1.OO per bushel. He says it may
seem hard 10 the American farmer,
but it will have the effect to break up

such. 1t may, however, be explained,
or excused, or accounted for, by cir,
cumstances.
An "incident" (from the Latin incl.
dere, to fall UPON is something that
happens upon another thing, though
not necessarily connected with it. If,
for instance, rainbow should sudden
ly break forth while man was being
murdered, that would be an ''incident"
of the murder, but it would have no
essential connection with it.
Should a fire burn building to the
ground, that would be fact, though
the morning papers might speak Of
it as an incident" If, however, a
woman should jump from the burning
building, the reporter might properly
speak of that as an "incident" of the
fire.
Numerous" is often substituted for
"many." He who uses the common
phrase, "our numerous friends" would
have it understood that he has many
friends though to precision he sug'
gests that each friend is numerous,
which, to say the least is an awkward
idea. The word will always be used
correctly if it is remembered that "nu
merous" is an adjective properly quail
flying such nouns as crowd, Family,
"class," "crew," ASSEMBLY" "troop,'
"herd," flock" etc.

one who has the reputation of knowing
more of military law than any officer

on military affairs, on all questions be-
fore the committee, than any man on

very just"

"How many toes has a cat?" was
one of the questions asked a certain
class during examination week, and.
as simple as the question appears to
be, none could answer it. In the
emergency the principal was applied to
for a solution, and he also, with a good
natured smile, gave it up, when one of
the teachers, determined not to be
beaten by so simple question, hit on
the idea of sending out delegation of
boys,to scour the neighborhood for a
cat. When the idea was announced
the whole class wanted to join in the
hunt. Several boys went out and
soon returned successful. A returning
board was at once appointed, and the
toes counted, when, to the relief of all
it was learned that a cat possesses
eighteen toes-ten on the front feet
and eight on the hind feet. After the
question was solved the cat wasallowed
to depart, much to his satisfaction.

Misused Words.

A writer in Macmillan'S Magazine,
anxious to preserve the "well of Eng.
lish undefyled," calls attention to The
the wrong use of such words al ''fain,',
"greet," circumstance" ''incident'
numerous" and witnesses"
"Fain" signifies 'joyful" or "glad."
Yet there are writer's who strangely
misuse this good old Saxon word. If
any man has failed in an effort to get
something, and is driven to put up
with something else instead, these wri-
tiers say that the defeated person was
"fain" to accept the disagreeble alter
native.
When we salute a person with some
demonstration of personal feeling, such,
for instance, as a smile, or hearty shake
of the hand, we greet him. Yet in the
English of journalists an unpopular
speaker at caucus is said to have been
