One of the most remarkable, as we'll

While walking the f,or in the station,
waiting for the train, he suddenly fell

fully the news of the second death was
telegraphed home by the son, who had
the body of ais father placed in coffin,
preparatory to having it taken home on

SCRQfulA

Usually develops in. early life,
and is a peculiar morbid con-
dition Of the system, usually
affecting the glands, often re-
sulting In swellings, enlarged
joints, assesses, thickening
Of the lips, enlarged neck, sore
eyes. A scrofulouS condition
is often hereditary, but bad
diet, too free use OF fat meats,
bad air, want of sunshine and
nourishing food will induce
1t. Some people are troubled
with scroful0uS swelling Of the
glands, and with ulcers and
kernels, which may cause very
little pain; others may have in
ward scrofula, serofula Of the
lungs, scrofula of the spleen,
scrofula Of the kidneys, and
scrofula Of the bones. BUR-

BUSINESS TRAINING.

Many Of our boys are now discussing the
most important question Of their lives:
.What school shall I astcndl" It should be
conceded II it is not, that the best educated
farmer Is the most successful, all other things
being equal. The work Of the farmer is
practical, and the education that 6ts him for
the highest success, Should be practical in
It's character and have tendency to qualify
him Tor proper discharge Of the duties Of
every y lie. The farmer must buy and
sell, make contracts and negotiate commer-
cial pa er Success in farming does not depend
upon producing alone The products must be
in the market at the proper time, and the pro-
leeds invested with discretion and judgment
Because farmers do not devote their whole
time to buying and selling is no reason why
they should not know how to properly transact
business sharpers avail themselves Of the
fact that farmers az rules not posted in the
details of business, and 50 make them an easy
prey. Every day comes the sad vail from all
portions Of the country that the swindler is
abroad with a now trick for defrsuding fur.
mers. Ignorance fosters rascality. and the un-
educated worker feeds the educated rogue. /,
costs something to get an education. but in this
age of the world II costs more to remain in ig-
noranoe. Every farmers son should make his
plans for attending good. reliable business
