A Campaign Secret Given Away,


In the campaign Of 1884 the two candi.
dates for Governor in a "pivotal" West.
ern State arranged for a series of joint
discussions. Both men we're popular, both
of fine appearance and were SO we'll
matched in mental force and as orators
that the contest between them promised to
be a magnificent mi For several weeks
the scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican can
didate came up ailing. He seemed over
come and spoke laboredly. The next day
he was even less effective. Later he was
compelled to ask his opponent for q post
ponement Of certain appointments, which
was granted. Before the campaign ended
he had abandoned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-
tinued his canvass, seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective with
each succeeding week. He was elected.
One evening in December while entertain-
ing several gentlemen he said:
~ will tell you q campaign secret
which gave me the election. With the
opening of my campaign ! began caring
for my liver. I knew that a disordered or
torpid liver meant dullness and possible
sickness. I took something every day.
When my opponent began failing I knew
his trouble to be his liver and felt like pre-
scribing for him, but feared if I did SO he
might beat me! I grew stronger as the
speeches a day. Even my voice, to my
surprise, did not fail me once. All because

similar circumstances aud says he kept up

same means.-ROchester UniOn.

An Undesirable Weed, Which Ought to ID

An Undesirable Weed, Which Ought to BE
Eradicated.
This is an undesirable weed that finds
its way into many moving fields, and
thus scatters its seed wherever the ma
nure of the barn is spread. When this
plant once gets a good foothold on a
farm, it is no easy matter to get rid of
it: The land may be plowed and cul-
tivated two or even three years, and
then somehow when it is again la d
down to grass, dock roots " II be al
most the first thing to appear; the
seeds lay in the ground waiting a ia.
vorable opportun ty. are brought from
some other port, on Of the farm, or quite
likely may be sown with the grass
seed. and introduced in this way. as
are many other undesirable plants.
How to get good grass seed free from
| sorrel, dock, w Id carrot and a host OF
other weed seeds is n of the important
| questions of the day. The time seems to
| be approaching when every farmer who
expects to keep his farm free from unde.
slrablc plants will have to grow his
own grass seed; even then he will have
to fight at least q seven years battle
to get rid of weeds already introduced
on his farm; but the moment he is able
to stop the Introduce on of any more,
it is only a question of time, with clean
| culture, when he will be able to con-
| quer When the farmer is determined
to getrid of the ans Chilly dock in his
moving fields he must make up h 9
mind to get rid of it at the same time
| all over his farm, for it is useless to
try to get rid of it in one field VIII lie it is
perfect NO it's seeds on all other parts
! of the farm. To do this requ res time
and patience, but as the dock is Il plant
| that runs up gu. te high before it seeds,
! it is readily seer even at a distance. es.
pecially if it is perm tied to stand I'M
til it is in full blossom; at this stage OF
| its growth its stalk is strong enough
to pull the whole plant up, including
the entire root. This is rather hard
work. but a good strong man will pull
up a large number in a day. AS this
is the end of them. we are inclined to
think it is the best way to get rid o J
this plant.
When it is decided to do this there
should be no half way about it. but
the whole farm should be cleared, or
the labor will be lost; to simply pull
the plants from Il single field and
leave the rest of the farm untouched
would be of very little use, for the
seed would blow from the other
fields so that in two years the plants
would be Just as plenty rs before any
Of them were pulled up.
Farmers should always be on the
watch for undesirable weeds that so
often find the r way into the NOW ng
fields: if taken when they first
appear it is not SO difficult to conquer
them, but if neglected until they have
ripened their seed it is much more diff.
cult to root them out If farmers
when the. SOW down a field to grass
would pull out all of the undes rdbl
plants before they have time to perfect
their seed, it would save much labor IN
after years in keeping their farm in
good eondition-MasSac'H4s:4s Wo1gA'

Interesting Experiments.

In connection with the trial of Pei
Tor pc soning, which has just resulted
IN Par.s in the condemnation of the ac-
cused, some interesting experiments
were conducted at the morgne with q
view to test ng whether it was possible,
as alleged by the prosecution, that the
murderer could have got rid of 1.-THE body
Oh one OF his victims by burning it
plece by piece in a common stove. The
professional witnesses sta ed that they
procured a body we Ching sixty kilo-
Srammes. They removed from it forty
N'logrammes of organic matter, and
lighted a fire of wooden logs. They
mus ascertained that in an hour the
complete reduction to ashes OF one kllo-
Sfamme of organic matter could be eff
1ected. and in forty hours the complete
combustion of body we Ching sixty kill
ogrammes could be c completed. The ac-
company ng smell was not d'sagreea-
ole. The bearing of this on the ques-
l'on OF cremation is obvious. 1t is
possible to the human body

pense, as these experiments show. In

sleed for ages. the quantity of wood
