EDITORS CONSTITUTION:

EDITORS CONSTITUTION:
With the hope that it will reach
the eye of other sufferers, l desire
to write you statement Of my
case and my wonderful rescue
from death from malarial blood
poison by the use of the great
S. S. s., (Swift's Specific
In 1901 came from the North
to take charge of the gas works in
Rome, as superintendent, and af-
ter the overflow which occurred
in theSspring following, [ was very
much exposed to malarial poison,
and in 1882 found my blood so
contaminated with the poison that
l was forced to give up business.
[ was treated by the Rome physi-
clans without relief, they advising
me to 90 North, which [ did. The
doctors North told me that my
only hope was to return to the
milder climate, and accordingly
| came back to Rome, completely
broken down and nearly a skele-
ton. Ny trouble finally termina-
ted in an abscess Of the liver, and
nearly everyone myself included)
thought | was doomed to die with
in few days. In this condition I
was advised by a friend to take
Swift Specific, and [ took it just
as a drowning man would catch a
straw; but as soon as my system
got under the influence of the
remedy, the abscess came to a
point and burst, passing off with
out pain. In fifteen days after
this l was up at my work, and
have since enjoyed excellent health
every sufferer from malarial poi

Household Courtesy.

A writer in the Christian Union
well says:
"lf a clergyman would always
accompany the marriage ceremony
with a brief exhortation, and I
would always take for may text,
BE courteous According to my
observation more coldness and
arrangements, if not more abso-
lutte quarrels and separations,
grow out of a disregard of the
common rule of courtesy in mar
ried life than from any other
cause. The wife gets up and goes
off to give a direction to her ser
wants while her husband is in the
middle of sentence; if he were
any other gentleman she would
at least say, Excuse me mo-
ment,' The wife comes into the
room, and the husband sits still in
his chair; if any other lady enters
he rises and offers her one. If a
a guests is coming to the house,
the lady of the house is dressed
and at the door ready to receive
him; if it is only her husband she
has no welcome. If lady is at
the table as guest, the gentle
man brings some topic Of social
conversation to entertain her with
her tea and berries; if the wife is
the only lady, he sits silent, or
even whips a letter or a newspa-
per out of his pocket and reads to
himself. Madam! no gentlemen
is entitled to such distinguished
consideration as your husband
Sir! no lady is entitled to such
deferental treatment as your wife.
The truth is, with most of us,
manner is like a dress suit put on
upon special occasions; whereas
1t ought to be like our skin, put on
from within, and never to be taken
off while we are alive.

Our Slandered Hog.
N. Y. Sun.

N. Y. Sun.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
President to-day transmitted to the
House of Representatives the re-
port of the commission appointed
to examine into the condition of
swine products of this country
The Secretary of State also sent in
communication on the subject, in
which he says the report shows
conclusively that hog cholera is
not present in meat packed for hui
man food, and in no event is the
disease communicable to human
beings. As to trichinosis, the re-
port is less conclusive, because
less is certainly known of the man
ner in which the living trichinosis,
or their germs are transmitted.
He advises further investigation
of this point. 1t is known, how
ever, he says, that the processes of
packing and the time between the
slaughter Of the animal and the
consumption of the prepared flesh
abroad SO diminishes the Vitality
and propagating power of the
trichin@ as to prevent its develop
ment in the human body. No in
stance based on competent scien-
tific testimony can be adduced of
trichin sis in Europe arising from
the use of American-packed swine
products. In every case in Ger
many it has been found that the
disease is traceable to the con-
sumption OF freshly killed native
hogs, and that its virulence dimin-
ishes with the lapse of time be-
tween the killing and consumption
Of the hog.

Unless you intend tie support him,

Don't make up your mind he is an

Don't lei him spend his sslery on

If you have any conscientious

If you object to secret societies

If your adorer happens to fancy a

If you intend to keep three SER

Truckers and Farmers.

Mr.. Jas. ID. Frederick, Of Mar
shallvilIe, Ga, in reporting his
experiment to the Department of
Agriculture says: Il selected
two acres of equal fertility on
which to test the relative value of
cotton seed and cotton seed meal.
Upon the first, applied a compost
made up of 200 pounds of Acid
phosphate, 100 pounds Of KANT
and eight bushels of cotton seed,
(240 poundl The yield of this
acre was 473 pounds. Upon the
second. applied as above, except
the eight bushel of cotton seed,
which was substituted for 100
pounds of cotton seed meal
Yield of second acre, 669 pounds.
Almost every report shows the
value of compost over any fertiliz-
er with which it is compared.
Fertilizers with large percentage
of KANT and potash show better
results than others ON old WORKOUT

His First Lobster.
BILL NYE.

One day Colonel Visscher wan
dered into a prominent hotel in
Louisville and observing with sur
prise and pleasure that boiled
lobster was one of the delicacies
on the bill of fare, he ordered
one.
He had never seen a lobster,
and a rare treat seemed to be in
store for him. He breathed in
what atmosphere there was in the
dlnlng-room and waited for his
bird. At last it was brought in.
Mr.. Visscher took one hasty look
at the great scarlet mass of volup-
tuous limbs and oceanic nippers,
and sighed. The lobster was as
large as door-mat and had a very
angry and infamed appearance.
Vlsscher ordered a powerful cock
tail to give him courage, and then
he tried to carve off some of the
breast.
The lobster is hornary even in
death. He is eccentric in trlfing.
Those who know him best are the
first to evade and shun him. Viss-
cher had failed to straddle the
wish-bone with his fork properly,
and the talented bird of the deep,
rolling sea had slipped out of the
platter, waved itself across the
horison twice and buried itself in
the bosom Of the eminent and tai
ented young man. The eminent
and talented young man took it in
his napkin, put it carefully on the
table, and then he went away.
As he passed ont the head wal
ter said to him:
"NIr. Visscher, was there any
thing the matter with your lob
ster?"
Visscher is full-blooded Ken
tuckian, and answered in the cour-
teous dialect Of the blue grass
country.
"Anything the matter with nv
lobster, sab? No, sab; the lob
ster is very vigorous, sab. If you
had asked how | was, sab, | should
have answ cred you very different
ly, sab. | am not we'll at all, sab.
If L was as ruddy and as active as
that lobster, sab, | would live for

"Why, Of course | am not famil-

sab, and do not know how to
