accents over cofin:lid. The woman

ever heard her murmur her; hand was
quick to reach aout in a helping grasp to
those who fell by the ;wayside, and per
feet were swift on errands of mercy the
heart of her husband had trusted in her;
he had left he. to long hours Of solitude,
while he had amused himselfin scenes
in which she had no part. When boon
companions deserted bin, when tickle
affection, sel6shly departed, when pleas
ure palled, hegwent home and found her
waiting forshim.
"Come from your long, long rowing,
On life's sea so bleak and rough,
Come to me, tender and loving
And I shall be blest enough"
That had been her love.soDg-always
on her lips or in her heart. Children
had been born to them. She had reared
them alone-they were gone! Her hand
had led them to the uttermost edge OF
the morning that has no noon. Then
she had comforted him, and sent him out

Flowing by Steam or Electricity.

Steam plows have been in use for sew
eral years in England, Egypt and some
parts of the United States. Heretofore
the only steam plow that has given sat
isfaction is one arranged to be drawn 6y
an engine stationed at the side Of the
field by means of a wire rope. There
are many objections to this plan, and
hundreds .oflexperiments. have ;. been
made to demonstrate the practicability
of blowing with traction engine.
Heretofore these experiments have not
produced satisfactory results; but now
the wheat growers of Dakota are begin.
ming to use traction engine plow that
bids far to supersede horse power for
turning prairie sod. An engine drawing
gang of eight plows has been intro;
duced into the Territory, and its average
work is the breaking of twenty five acres
per day, turning the sod four inches
thick.
Fuel being scarce and costly in Da.
kota. the cost of breaking the land by
steam is said to be one dollar per acre:
OF course that leaves agood margin or
profit for-the Dwder~of the plow. The
cost of breaking the land by animal
power is three dollars per acre, as 1t re-.
quires four horses or oxen, one man and
boy to operate one plow, which will
break only a little more than an acre a
day. e,ex . y

Is the season in which bad or poisoned
blood is most apt to show itself. Nature, at
this juncture, needs something to assist it
in throwing off the impurities which nave
collected by the sluggish circulation Of
blood during the cold winter months.
Swift's Specific is natures great helper as
it is purely vegetable Alternative and tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga, writes:
1--WE have been using Swift's Specific at the
orphans home as a remedy for blood COM
plants, and as general health tonic and
haye had remarkable results from its use
on the children and employees of the insti.
tuition. 1t is such an excellent tonic, and
keeps the blood so pure, that the system Is
less liable to disease. 1t has cured some of
our children of Scrofula."

writes: I'VE are selling large quantities OF

her side, which was soon followed by hemoIrhages
from her lurgs and severe cough. Fever COM

few weeks she WIS reduced to living skeleton.
The attending physician told me that he thought
one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not
retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom.
ach. / then agreed with DR.. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call DR.. Holloway in consultation.
They rade final examination of the patient and
pronounced the case hopeless DR.. Holloway then
suggested the Brewers Lung Rcstorer as last
resort. sent for bottle and gave her DOSE 1
found that she could retain it OH her stomach, and
after about the third dose began to notice some
improvement in her condition. continued the
medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about tho house.
She is now, in better health than she has enjoyed

Lincoln went before the House Appropri-

while he had no complete figures to offer,
he thought at least two hundred thousand

amount was reported and passed both
houses promptly without discussion. Con-

signature was attached this afternoon.
Secretary Lincoln, on Senator Kenns's sug-

tion. Advices received here indicate that
Secretary Lincoln's plans are working ad'
mirably. Patrols have been established ut
various points on the river, and by TO-
morrow the department expects to be IN
direct communication with all devastated
districts. Senator Pendleton states that he
has received kilograms from Cincinnati in
dicating the greatest satisfaction with the
means for the relief OF the sufferers, but
that more money will be needed. The
