REV. SYLyANUs COBB thus writes IN the

by no means recommend any kind of medi-
cine which we did not knowto be good-par-
ticularly for infants But of Mrs. WinslOw' 5
Soothing Syrup we can speak from knowl=
edge; in our own family it has proved u
blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled
with cOlic pains, quiet sleep, and the parents
unbroken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an arti-
Gle which works to perfection, and which
is harmless, for the sleeps which it affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the little
cherub awakes as "bright as a button" And
during the process of teething, its value is
incalculable. We have frequently heard
mothers say that they wouldnOt be without it
from the birth of the child till it had finished
with the teething seige, on arv considera-
ton whatever. Sold by all druggists. %

EFFECTS OF IMPROVED BREEDS.

American Farmer.
An Illinois dr0vcr and butcher
says that twenty-five years ago 1t
was very difficult to find ycarIing
steers that would weigh six hun
bred pounds live weight. They
were not considered fully ripe I'M
til four years old, and then fifteen
hundred pounds was considered an
extreme weight. The feeding now
is no better then than, or at least
not moro costly. Solely by improy-
ed breeding it is found possible to
produce yearlIngs that weigh one
thousand pounds, threc-ycar-oIds
heavier than the old four-ycar-olds,
and fuIl-grown steers weighing two
thousand pounds or more. There
is certainly no moro bone and
frame in tho improved stock, and
it is consequently worth more per
pound TO the butcher. If 1T has
taken moro feed 1t has returned a
larger proportion TO the manure
heap.

IT has becn decided to alter the plans
o. the Garfield monument at Cleve-
2nd, o., and make it $50 feet in height
instead of 30. as originally designed.
The architect came to the conclusion
that the tower would be too high if ex-
'ended 90 feet. The height now pro-
posed will be sufficient TO give a COM
manding view Of the country for miles
around. and when completed the mon
ument will be plainly visible from any
portion Of the city. The change will
effect a saving of $20,OCO This will be
expended on the interior and in pur-
chasing fine statuary to be placed on
and about the tower.
