Last Saturday morning, people who went
down town early enough, saw hanging TO the
sign at the railroad-crossing an image IN
scribed as the marshal. 1t produced quite a
feeling of indignation, as the marshal has
done nothing to merit such disgrace. If
he did, why wasn't it done in the daytime
and not in the night, and so secretly that no
one knows who did it?

Swept into the Stream.
ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND
right SMART OF BEARS"

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged southern planter. Indicating by
a sweep OF his arm the waters the boat was
passing over. he said to passenger from the
North: when / was twelve years old | killed
my first bear on a new plantation my father
was then cutting out of the forest that grew di-
rectly over the waters or this bend. That was
a mighty good plantation, and there was right
smart OF bears there too. But that one thou
sand acres OF land went into the Mississippi
years ago.
II is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests OF youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength are swept every
year into the great. turbid torrent OF disease
and death. Yet 1t should not be so. That it is
SO, is disgrace as well as loss. People are
largely too careless too STUPID to defend their
own interests-the most precious of which is
health That gone, all is gone. Disease is
simple, but TO recklessness or Ignorance the
simplest things might as well be as complex as
proposition in conlc sections. AS the huge
Western rivers, which so often food the cities
along their shores, arise IN a few mountain
springs, so all our ailments can be traced to I'M
pure blood and a small group or disordered or
gans.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is Parker's Tome. 1t goes TO the
sources OF pain and weakness. In response 10
its action, the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart
begin their work afresh. and disease is driven
out. The tonic is not an intoxicant, but cures
a desire for strong drink. Have you dyspepsia,
rheumatism, or troubles which have refused to
yield 10 other agents? Here is your help.

If the sons who have left home could
only feel some of the loneliness that SO
oppresses their mothers could know
only part of their longing for news
from the absent ones, and the bitter dis
appointment OF watching for letters that
seldom come-they would be more
thoughtful of her whose constant care
for years was of them. 1t is usually
mere thoughtlessness; but often tho
most singing wrongs arc committed
through want of thought. The young
men have life before them, with fort
unes to make and honorable names 10
win, and their glances and thoughts are
ahead. They do not realize that their
parents look backward far oltener than
beyond them and that tears often dim
the dear old mothers eyes because the
little boy who used TO come so con-
iidingly to her is now beyond her reach,
and apparently needs neither care nor
sympathy. He has not forgotten his
mother; no, indeed. But he is so busy
that writing is neglected, and if con
science puts in protest, Il Is silenced
by saying: "Mother knows / would
write if anything were amiss." 1t is
not so much that the mother expects
things to 90 amiss (though she often
thinks for hours of the lassitude or
headache the son has mentioned),
but she so longs for written char
acters telling her that she is n
"dear mother yet, end that her boys
are still alectionate" and Glowing"
The young men do not realize that their
letters are treasures, or that the smallest
of their doings interest their parents;
and they can not understand the great
love that sympathizes with every defeat
and sings with joy over every success.
The mothers do not grieve over mere
absence; but 1t is hard, indeed, for
even the stoutest-hearted 10 see their
boys drifting away until they conclude
they no longer love them. This may
not be, for sons seldom cease to love
and respect true mothers; but so long
as they are careless and neglectful, what
proof have tho waiting mothers that
their boys are not exceptional ones, and
havo not allowed the busy world to
steal all their affections?
Boys, young men, middle-aged men.
every one who has q mother, remember
that she lives in her children, and you
do her bitter, grievous wrong when
weeks and months elapsc between your
letters, which even then arc not so
aliectionate as they should be. Make
them frequent and loving, and tears Of
Joy will often dim the kind old eyes,
because. although you are bearded
man and her head only reaches your
shoulder, you are not ashamed TO make
"dear mother" n contidant Of your joys
and sorrows. Country GeHtIemGn.

The present first King abolished the
custom Of prostrnt on early In his reign.
lie is even more progressive than his
father, having adopted the European
dress and done away with many bar
barrie practices. In 1878 he issued a
proclamation of religious liberty in
which these sentences occur: ''If any
one is of the opinion that the religion Of
the Lord Jesus is good, let him hold to
1t freely. Whenever there is Govern
ment work, persons who hold to the re-
ligion of the Lord Jesus must perform
it" He moreover provided that Chris
tians should not be forced to work on
Sunday. The present second King is
the son OF the former second King, and
his name is George Washington. He
has, of course, long list Of names, but
he always writes George Washington
first He can hardly be spoken of as a
King, for his cousin, the first King,
holds the reins of Government entirely
in his own hands, and has made his own
brothers heads of departments, so that
the second Kings position will not CON-
pare with that held by his father.-M

CuriOns Ants.

"What would you think, TO see an
ant carrying n parasol?" asked Uncle
Fred.
"Oh, unclc!" cried johnny and Puss
at the same time.
"You know an ant could not carry o
parasol," added Puss.
Their uncle had Just come homo from
long trip to the West Indies and South
America. lie had n great many Won
derful stores to tell them about the
queer sights he had seen and the strange
places where he had been. But they
thought he must be joking with them
now, for they could not believe that an
ant could do such n thing.
"Wel," said Uncle Fred, "their
parasols were not made Of silk stretched
over wire frame. They wcre only
pieces of leaves from trees, and the ants
held them 10 their mouths In such o
way that they covered their body en-.
tirely. You could not see the ants at
all, so the leaves looked as il they were
marching along of their own accord.
The first time l saw any was In the
West Indies. One day, when / was rid
ing with friend out TO his plantation,
a great swarm OF these ants crossed our
road. We watched them long time.
1t was very queer sight, / assure you.
They did not travel very fast. There
must have been thousands and thou
sands Of them, for we could not sec
either end of the column"
"Where were they going, l wonder"
said Johnny.
They were carrying the leaves to
their nests. They do not eat the leaves,
but they are very fond Of fungus
which grows on them after they have
been little while in their underground
nests. The ants are very destructive,
and do great deal Of damage. Some
times they will cut every leaf off of a
tree.
Don't we have any hereP' asked
Puss, who was much interested, and
wished she could sec some.

MILK and Butter Tests.

A large number Of tests have been
made within few years Of the milk
and butter capacity of COWS. They
have perhaps in most cases been care
fully and truly reported. They have
been accepted as correct by some,
utterly disbelieved by othors and ac.
oepted by the majority with a mental
reservation that says: 1--WE would be.
lieye you under any other circum-
stances, but this story is too extray-
agant." There has been without doubt
large number of remarkable records
published in which the truth was strictly
adhered to so far rs the record is con-
cerned, although il thewhole truth was
told 1t would modify the record greatly.
This would be done by giving also the
amount of food consumed, in which
case 1t would frequently be shown that
the relative expense OF these large pro-
ducts was as great as that OF smaller
ones. The true test OF value is the
greatest product Mt the least cost.
These large records are becoming SO
common that there is a general distrust
as to their accuracy although the public
dislike to doubt the honesty OF those
who make them. Now It does not
follow that because there are great
number Of large records that they
become any less truthful, because the
publication of one record incites tests
Of others, and in the present condition
Of our dairy cattle breeds there must
be many phenomenal COWS.
II would be better for the owner and
more satisfactory to the public II these
tests we're made under The control Of
some capable and entirely disinterested
person. Also, II the food and treat
ment were given they would be more
instructive.
II these tests can be kept accurate, SO
that people can have confidence In
them, they will do much good in stimu-
lating production in the dairy. While
some OF these phenomenal animals may
be overfed and injured, the great ma.
jority are vastly underfed for profit.
Anything thatwill stimulate the average
dairyman TO better feeding will do a
vast amount OF good, and we look upon
these tests as accomplishing much In
this direction by stimulating m amhi-
ton to excel.-Dctroit Posi- and TfS6-
une. ~.
