THE KIND PASSENGER.

Why He Offered D Quarter for . Good,
Sound Kicking.
A lady on Rock Island train the
other day had small dog with her,
which seemed to be out of sorts about
something, and disturbed the passen-
gers not little by its whining. At
length man who sat in the next seat
forward faced about and said:
''Is the little fellow sick?"
"Oh, no." said his mistress; ''but
think he wants drink of water"
''Then will get him somc." said the
gent. good-naturedly, as he took cup
from his satchel and started to go to
the cooler.
''Hold ont" exclaimed the lady, with
alarm, as she handed him q cup of her
own. Take this, please. / am very
particular what cup my dog drinks out
Of"
After watering the pup the stranger
went into the smoker and offered the
brakeman a quarter to kick him.-Chi-

Halls Journal of Health, referring to Con-

statement:
Consumption usually begins with q

of Consumption, or troubles of the
throat and lungs, immediate relief may be
obtained and o permanent cure effected by
the use Of DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, q medicine known for more than
thirty five years as an unfailing remedy for
coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary

THE DAlRYMAN.
Causes Of Success aud Failures In the Dairy
Business,

Causes Of Success aud Failures In the Dairy
Business.
1 know dairymen who would be sue
cessful in turning out q prime article
of butter or cheese, no matter where
they might be situated. They would
make good butter with the old-fashioned
buttery. tin pans and dash churn, or
good cheese with the old-fashioned
cheese-tub and mode of beating, with
corner in a rail fence for press and any
convenient place that happened to
present itself for a curing room. So
there are others who are doomed to fail
under any and all circumstances
They lack judgement, promptness,
thoroughness-in short, they lack
"gumption." They are never in the
right place, nor around at the right
time, nor do anything in exactly the
right way. Somehow, they expect
things to run themselves, and are some
what disappointed if they don't do it.
l have inspected many dairy where
the most appropriate sign that could
have been posted up would have been:
.'Wanted-A Dairyman;" and it would
hate been money in the pocket of the
owner if he could have secured the
services Of a good dairyman at a liberal
salary. The differences in the net pro-
ceeds would have more than paid the
salary. leaving a handsome additional
sum for the owner. Men are often q
much out of place ON the farm as in tho
shop. the market. the lawyers Office or
the pulpit; and much of the complaint
about poor returns of farming has ius
origin in this fact. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see as much wasted on a mis-.
managed farm as would make paying
profit ON a well managed one. Extrav-
agance is not enterprise: nor is stinginess
economy, while neither leads to thrift

PHYSICAL CULTURE.

YOuug Women Vine Show Desire for the
Development u Their Strength.
..It is q notable fact. inst at the present
time" remarked Prof. ID. L. Dowd, who
is proprietor of . school for physical cul-
ture, and whose record Of lifting LAP
pounds has never been equaled, when q
reporter called on him, ''that young
women are becoming more than ever
before interested in physical develop
ment. There is shown among women
q marked desire to become physically
stronger. Heretofore the general idea
among them was that physical culture
was only for men and meant coarseness
and abnormal development of the mus
cles. But now they are beginning to
understand the subject better. There
has been very apparent change in this
respect among them recently. Why
the last year have had about fifty
women, young and old. exercising reg
ularly here, and more come 10 inquire
about the subject in one season now
than did formerly in two years time. !"
"What kind of exercise do they most
prefer" was asked.
lit isn't so much what they prefer,
but what is best for them. The only
way to properly exercise is to do il sys-
tematically, and we have q regular
course arranged for this purpose. First
we take measurement of the different
parts of the body. We generally start
off with chest exercise, then the waist,
then the limbs. Some ladies' have q
medical examination to ascertain if they
are in sound condition, or to learn if
there are any weak spots in their body
that should have extra exercise, partic-
ularly regarding the heart and lungs.
If any weak spots are found, these arc
strengthened first. From experience,
we find that, rs rule. the chief defects
in the constitutions of the young women
of the present day are weaknesses of
the back, and waist, and next the arms.
Their preferences here are for chest
developing exercise, and they seem to
detest most that which develops the
waist-they don't want large waists"
"Have you any records of what your
young lady pupils have done during the
exercising?"
II do not keep any, for the pupils do
not like the idea of having it talked
about. But can give you several. One
young lady who was exercising here be-
came so strong that she lifted on the
health lift seven hundred pounds. An
other, who took to vaulting. who
was only nineteen years old. vault
ed five feet. This was splendid
leap for woman. Last year
a young girl began exercising who was
twelve years old. but who weighed
ninety-eight pounds. She began here
because she was threatened with curva-
turc of the spine. In six months she
grew three inches in height and her
chest girth was increased in its expan-
sion two inches, making her chest exc
pansion four inches. This was remark
able when you take into consideration
that the average chest expansion is only
about two inches. A young woman,
about twenty years old, who was
partly paralyzed through shorthand
writing and telegraphipg, began exer.
cising short time ago, and is now quite
well and strong. Special work for every
muscle on the surface of the body is the
only sure way of successful exercising"

THE KOHL-RABi.
A Vegetable Which Is Fast Becoming
Popular In This Country.

Popular in This Country.
The kohl-rabi, or turnip-rooted CAP.
bage may be popularity described as a
vegetable somewhat intermediate be.
tween the turnip and cabbage. At first
sight the leaves bear a considerable re.
semblance to the latter vegetable. but
on a closer inspection we find that the
stem just above the ground swells into 9
bulb, resembling turnip in size and
shape. from which circumstance the
popular name of turnip-rooted cabbage
has been derived. 1t is a vegetable that
is highly priced in Europe. and as it is
fast becoming popular in this country
few remarks on its cultivation may
not be out of place. In order TO obtain
tender and succulcnt bulbs it is essen
tial that the plants should be grow
quickly, on rich, deep soil, for T.
grown slowly and on poor soil the bulbs
will be tough and inferior in quality; so,
to insure, if possible, a successful CROP
the'ground should be properly and thor.
Oughly prepared by giving it a good
dressing of well-rotted stable manure and
working it in thoroughly with either the
pillow or fork. Every care should be
taken to incorporate the manure with
the soil as deeply as possible. when the
seed can be sown in drills about two OF
three feet apart. Sow thinly, and as
soon as the young plants are strong
enough to handle thin them out to about
six inches apart. Keep the plants well
cultivated at all times; hoe frequently,
taking care to leave the chief part of the
stem uncovered. and as soon as the
bulbs are from three to five inches in
diameter they are ready for use. A
sowing should be made about the LIST OF
May, and again early in June and July.
in order to obtain succession of tender
roots.-Cor. Nick's Magazine.

FEMALE LAWYERS.
List of the States in Which they Have Beex
Admitted to Practice.

but they have not practiced.

The admission in all these States is

also appeared AZ attorneys in several
