A RailrOader Speaks.

My wife has been a great sufferer
from Catarrh. Several physicians
and various patent medicines were
resorted to, yet the disease continued
undated, nothing appearing to make
any impression upon it. Her consti-
tuition finally became implicated, the
poison being in her blood.
| secured a bottle of B. B. B. and
placed her upon its use, and to our
surprise the improvement began at
once, and her recovery was rapid and
complete. No otherpreparation ever

cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a
superior Blood Purifier.

A Problem.

The air is just now full of reports
of escapades and elopements by young
couples who have thousand ways in
which to insure misery for the future
and to make fools of themselves in the
persent. There seems to be a certain
proportion of girls that are ready at
any moment to fall madly in love with
a pair of pantaloons without reference
to the quality Or character of the pos.
SCISSOR thereof They are Economically
glanoured by man whose face has no
attractions and whose habits are posi-
lively repulsive. A worthless, brainless
BOBBY, who hasn't even the capacity to
earn salt for his patatoes, who can't be
invited to your table because he doesn't
know how to behave himself and who
can't be set up in business simply be-
cause he is an idiot, will run away with
your only daughter, a beautiful and
accomplished girl, who would order
him out of the house if she knew him
better, and who will leave him with a
broken heart after six months of mar
ried life. This is one OF the problems
of social life which is hard to unders
stand.

Couldn't Make it Out.

The proprietor of tannery having
erected building on the main street for
the sale of his leather, the purchase of
hides, etc, began to consider what kind
of sign would be most attractive. At
last what he thought a happy idea struck
him. He bored an auger>hole through
the door>post and stuck calls tail into
it, with the bushy end Haunting out
After while he noticed a grave.lOoking
person standing near the door, with
spectacles on, gazing intently at the
sign. So long did he gaze that finally
the tanner stepped out and addressed
the individual:
"Good morning."
Morning" replied the man, withou
moving his eyes from the sign.
"You want to buy lesther?"-"No.'
want to sell hides?"-"No."

Are you a merchant?"-"No."

The farmer who tills his acres well
and manures literally and intelli-
gently with fertilizers made at home
all the land he tills, will be the win
ner in every contest for living and
a competency from the farm. He
will never be behind in the bread
and meat line, but will have enough
and to spare every year. If the far
mer would give the same attention to
his farming operations, mental and
physical, that the successful mer-
chant does to his business, there
would be great many more rich
farmers in the country than there are
now. Push, energy and good man
agement are the key-notes to success
in all the business avocations of life.

Poor Outlook for Wheat.

New England Farmer.
Reports received at Topeka, Kansas,
from thirty-fve counties in Western
Iowa, forty>six counties in Eastern
Nebraska, fifty.six counties in Western
Missouri, and sixty-eight counties in
Kansas, which is solid territory of
400 miles north and south, and 800
miles east and west, and which en-
braces large portion of the wheat
fields of the West, show that the wheat
prospect in the counties of Iowa and
Missouri is &C per cent less than the
crop of last year, in Nebraska 60 per
cent, and in Kansas 50 per cent less.
The delay in planting corn is twelve
days in Iowa and Nebraska and twenty.
one days in Kansas and Missouri,
About one-third of the corn crop of
Kansas has been planted, and half of
that will have to be replanted. A no.
ticeable fact is that corn selling at sew
eral points in Kansas at upward of
fifty cents. The farmers of that State
look forward to an Indifferent corn
crop, and, as a consequence, are hold
ing old corn. 1t is safe to say no more
old corn will be sent from the State
this year.
VIM. Sims, Secretary of the State
Board Of Agriculture, reports that the
present year, at this time, presents the
worst wheat prospect known in ten
years, not only in Kansas, but as far as
his correspondence reaches.

Arbor Days.

Demorest's Monthly.
In many of the States of the Union,
the planting of trees in the early spring
is very generally observed, particularly
in those localities where wood, shade
or water are needed. Incalculable good
has been done, although as an institu.
tion this holiday is as yet in its infancy:
The Governor of Kansas, in his pro.
clamation for Arbor Day, says: "The
State which the. pioneers found treeless
and a desert, now bears upon Its fertile
bosom more than 100000 of fruit
trees, and more than 100000 acres of
forest trees, all planted by our own
people," And the Governor also says,
"that there has been an increase in the
rainfall in Kansas is fully proved by
the statistics of our oldest meteOrolo>
glsts." 1t has been suggested that this
ought to be a national holiday as
Thanksgiving has become. But this
would not be possible owing to the ex-
tent of the country, for the same plant.
ing day would not do for Michigan and
Mississippi, for Maine and Texas. Ex-
cellent as the work he's been so far
there are twenty forest trees cut down
for one that is planted. The destruc.
ton goes on with amazing rapidity.
There ought to be some action by Con-
gress to enact Forestry Laws, such as
those in forests Europe, Not only
should a wanton destruction of forests
stop, but it should be agreed that for
every one tree cut down five should be
planted in its place.

THE CREST HAND ON THE FARM

Up with the birds in the early morning
The dew.drop CLOVIS like precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not linger, she must not watt
For words that are sharp, and looks that are
surly
Are what the men give when the meals
are late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
If she would but look over hills and trees;
But here are the dishes, and here is the
churning-
Those things must always yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
If she could but pause and drink it in,
But pleasure, she said, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The days grow hot, and her hands grow
weary,
Oh, for an hour to cool her head,
Out with the birds and wind SO cherry!
But she must get dinner and make her
bread.
The busy men in the hay field working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would call her lazy, and call it Sinking,
And she never could make them under
stand.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughterE-shall call her
blest,
And think the sweetest JOY of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the fairest crown of all will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

A Slight Misunderstanding.

A lady employed young girl about
fifteen years old to assist her about her
homework and one day she was making
some CAKE, and wished to put some kind
of plums in it; so shes dish down on
the table with some plume, and told the
girl to stone them, and took the stone
out of one, with the remark
"That is the way.
Then, thinking the girl understood
what she meant, she put the plum she
had into her mouth, instead of the dish,
and went away. What was her surprise
short time after, to have the girl come
into the room where she was, and tell
her she had eaten all she could. When
the lady went into the room where she
had been at work, she found she had
put all the stones into the dish, and
eaten all she could of the plums; she
thinking that the hard pieces-mean-
ing the stOnes-would soften up when
baked in the cake.

Now that the full correspondence in the

deIfal to the discussion, cannot fail to attract

Aristocratlc England is shocked by the cleo
ton to- the new parliament of a number of
common people" II is urged against several
of them even that they are retail tradesmen;
and the most snObbish people in the world are
aghast at the intrusion. Heretofore the nobility
and the rich landed and commercial interests
have managed To keep the House of Commons
pretty much to themselves. And one of the
chief obstacles which the privileged classes
threw in the way of the people was that which
Engiishmen never tire of denounclng as the
scandal Of American politics-money. Delhi
erately, English politicians have made their
elections so costly and the incidental expenses
of n seat in parliament so great as to shut out
all but very rich men or their creatures. Mem
bers OF parliament have no salary. mileage or
enolumentS whatever, il being understood that
the Lords and Commons were to be composed
OF the mobility and gentry" who had the time
and means to devote whatever of their leisure
was requisite to assist Her Majesty TO rule her
empire.
This tradition has now been rudely jostled.
The rising tide of democracy has forced the
government to open the suffrage TO all classes,
and the novel expedient of paying the salaries
Of poor members by subscription has made ii
possible for men who are Obliged 10 work for a
living to enter on a public career. Hence at
this election a considerable number of practical
workingmen have been returned 10 parliament
not only from Ireland Lut from England also.
The purpose is TO support these true repre-
sentatives of the masses by popular subscrip-
ton until parliament sees fit to pay for public
service out of the public treasury. And 1t is
entirely proper that the friends of liberal insti
tutions in this country should aid this fund. Ii
Is probable that parliament will soon take steps
10 rectify the injustice and oppression of its
present rule. The aristOcratic families of the
empire are not ashamed to take pay in many
capacities in the military service and as men,
hers of the civil service, and there is no logic in
their claim that they should serve in parlia-
inent gratutously.
