There was curious and trying cpl
eode the other day ON Kearny street
Up Kesrny street came French
funeral with band and the usual pro-
cession. Down Bush street came .
German funeral; with band and .
procession the same. At the intersec-
ton of the two streets the professions
met. There arose a question Of prece-
dence, and pending its decision the two
bands played at one another their
respective dead marches to the irrever-
ent amusement of crowd of unsym-
pathetic lockers on. Finally the police
came along and settled the question,
and then the two hearses got mixed up
and for some time the French process
sion was moving with the German
hearse and vice versa. The awkward
part of it is that even now some OF the
mourners are wondering If they buried
the right man in the right plsce.--sa"

1.-THE Blues"
Diagnosis Of, and Remedy for, an Almos
Universal Addiction.


Universal Addiction.
There are diseases which medicine
may cure; others must be left to the
healing power Of nature; and there is
"a class III which the patient must min
lister to himself" as the doctor told
Macbeth, when asked if he could not

Prominent among those diseases
which refuse to be cured unless the
patient doctors himself, is the common
malady known as 1.-THE blues" Mr..
Hornaday, the American naturalist,
met, while steaming down the Red
Sea, an English lady, who diagnosed his
..blues" so cleverly and prescribed for
them so skillfully that he has never
suffered from another attack. He
states both for the benefit of fellow
sufferers 49,.
Diagnosis: 1.-The blues" are caused
by envy and selfishness.
Remedy: When attacked, go to work

yourself. Youths Companion.

"Stant back, gentlemenl Clear the

quickly gathering crowd surged back
steamer No. came up the street, the mag
ni6cent black horses striking frs from the
pavement.
But holdi A wheel comes OF the steam
or is overturned, and the brave hremen are

An investigation revealed the fact that in
oiling the steamer that morning the steward
had neglected to put in the hnch-pin. A
little neglect on his part had caused loss
of half million dollars. The busy marts
of trade are full of men who are making
the same fatal mistake. They neglect theft

whereas If they made occasional use Of

that they don't feel quite well; that tired
feeling bothers them; that they are plagued
with Indigestion; that their brain refuses
to respond at call; that their nerves are all

lndigo-Carmins

To obtain indigo-carmine use only a
very good quality of indigo, preferably
Bengal, which should be washed in a
hot diluted solution of sulphuric acid.
Then one part indigo and five parts
sulphuric acid, 66 deg. B., are mixed
together in . leaden vessel; the indigo
being first very finely powdered and
dried. The vessel should be kept cool
and the indigo should be added to the
acid little at time, the mixture being
well mixed. A heating of the mixture
should be avoided, as it would cause
free sulphurous acid, which would i'm
pair the good qualities of the finished
product. Goods Bulletin.

where he has been accustomed to the

if in buildings he should be familiarized
with these long before the fatting
period is reached, so that when placed
in his final quarters there will be no
nervous worry or apprehension.
Feeling perfectly at home there
will be nothing to prevent a

A Great Mans Exalted Opinion OF the
Farmers Calling.

A Great Mans Exalted opinion OF the
Farmers Calling.
There is no business of life which so
highly conduces to the prosperity of .
nation, and to the happiness of its en-
tire population, as that of cultivating
the soil. Agriculture may be regarded.
says the great Sully, as the breast from
which the State derives support and
nourishment Agriculture is truly our
nursing mother, which gives food and
growth and wealth and moral health
and character to our country. 1t may
be considered the great wheel which
moves all the machinery of society and
that whatever gives to it new impulse
communicates a corresponding impetus
to the thousand minor wheels of inter.
est which it propels and regulates.
While the other classes of the come
munity are directly dependent upon
agriculture for = regular and sufficient
means Of subsistence, the agriculturist
is able to supply all the absolute wants
of life from his own labors, though he
derives most of his pleasures and profits
from an interchange of the products OF
labor with the other classes of society.
Agriculture is called the parent of arts,
not only because it was the first prac-
ticed by man, but because the other
arts are its legitimate offspring and can
not long exist without it. 1t is the
great business of civilized life and gives
employment to vast majority Of almost
every people.-Boston Post.

Lot Us Have q Fair.

A large number of representative
men of Thomas county met at Colby,
on Saturday, the 18th, to consider the
feasibility of an agricultural associa.
ton. All were enthusiastic that We
should have one by all means.
Persons were appointed in each
township to talk the matter up and
s sa out the sentiments Of the people
in each township in respect to 1t, and
report on July 81, at which time steps
will be taken for a permanent organi.
cation. Everybody should take an
interest in this matter. We can by
this means get better acquainted,
show what we have raised and find
out what will grow best and be most
profitable.
We have a county unexcelled by
any in the state, people unsurpassed
in industry and intelligence anywhere.
So let us be alive and active to our
best interest, and make a beginning
now in the right direction.
