New York Physicians.

Many of the leading physicians of New York are discussing the propriety of admitting the Moxie Nerve Food Into their regular practice, as.it is harmless food and found to be able to prevent re lapses on chronic cases helped by medicine. It has lately been put to the test and found to have stopped number of cases of paralysis and Bright's disease in the first stages and it is well known that these originate from depleted rye force. 2tawaw

THE BEST HEN.
Quality in Eggs Quite as Important as
Quantity.

uuaIty in Eggs quite as Important as
Quantity.
We are accustomed to counting our
eggs from the hens, yet the hen that
lays the largest number of eggs may
not be the most productive. 1t is as
unreasonable to estimate the value of
hen by the number of her eggs as it is
to consider all apples alike, for those
who compare pippin with a crab ap-
pie will make a distinction in both
quantity and quality. Two ounces is
perhaps the average weight of eggs,
but if any one will examine basket of
eggs it will be noticed that the eggs
are of all shapes, sizes and colOrs. So
far as marketing the eggs is concerned
the small eggs seem to sell nearly as
we'll as the larger ones, especially if
they are mixed with those of large size,
but what we wish to call attention to
is the fact that it costs more, in the
shape of food, to produce a large egg
than it does for small one. The hen
that lays one hundred eggs weighing
two ounces each, is not as valuable, SO
far as actual production is considered,
as the hen laying seventy-Gve eggs
weighing three ounces each, yet but
few give this a single thought, and
sacrifice the better hen under the mis-
taken supposition that she is not as
productive us the one thatlays a larger
number. While this may not amount
to any thing when eggs are sent to
market, yet it is very important con-
sideration where the eggs are used at
home. The housekeeper who makes
two eggs do the service of three readily
perceives the difference, and it is a
strong point in selling eggs by weight
instead of by the dozen, which latter
is an unfair mode of buying and selling.

AN AGRICULTURAL AMAZON.
A Woman Works as a Farm Hand for
30 Years.

From the minneapolis journal.
In the Circuit Court at Jacksonville, Ind,
Louis Bottorf was granted a decree of di-
vorce from Elizabeth Bottorf. 1t was also
decided that Bottorff must pay the woman
81, 900 alImony. Bottorff is the wealthiest man
in Clarke county. and since the proceedings
for divorce were instituted he has become to-
tally blind. Mrs. Bo torff is woman with
history. She is So years old and her husband
IL past 76. Forty years ago she lived with her
parents on fine farm near Sellershurg, and
was considered the handsomest girl IN the
county. ! overs she had Dg the score, and her
parents spent small fortune ON her educa-
ton. She fell in love with n Door schOolmas-
ter. however, and when she ran away and
married him her parents cast her on, and told
her never TO darken the door Of the old home

In a little cottage near the farm upon which
she was born the young couple lived happily
for about i've years. Two pretty l'ttle daugh-
tiers we're born to them, and there was no
brighter Preside In the whole country. A bout
this time the young husband took SICK and
died, leaving his young wife, who had never
been used to hardships, to care for the chill
dren ana earn livelihood. The small stock
OF money she had soon dwlndled away. and
she found starvation staring her in the face.
Her parents refused to heed her applications
for aid, and when she on her Bonded knees
begged for food for her starving children they
turned her coldly away. She was woman

She could not get homework to do, and the
fancy articles she had learned to make were

hired herself out as a common farm hand. and
worked IN the harvest field. When winter
came she mauled rails and did all sorts of
mental work. At the end of her days labor
she would go home--she had constructed a
little shanty in a secluded spot on the banks
of silver Creek-and gather enough firewood
to keep her children warm during the day.
No spartan mother was ever possessed of
more heroism. Instead of pining away, she
grew strong, and her muscles were as well
developed as those of any man in the county.
For thlrtyhve years she worked in this
manner. and barely managed to exc out IA
SCRABBLE existence. Her parents bought the
ground upon which her domicile was built
and comnelled her to move. MIR. Louis Bot

for them as his own.
This was five months ago. The new Mrs.
Bottorf fully appreciated her position as the
wife of the richest man IN the county, and
soon began to hold herself above her former
associates. About two months ago Bottorf
accused his wife of inhdelity, and she kicked
him out OF the house. He applied for a di-
vorce upon the grounds above stated, and OBJ

i he ! lectiOns To-Day.

In some OF the States to-day-those in
which State as we'll as Congressional cam
ddates are to be voted fora pretty large
vote will be polled. but in States where
there are only Congressional elections the
vote, except in close districts, will doubt
less be small. A few weeks ago there was
some little excitement respecting the Con.
gressional elections because of the state
ment of the Secretary of the National
Republican Congressional Committee
that the Republicans would certainly
was soon ascertained, however, that he
had nothing on which to base his state
ment; that it was, in fact, intended only
to spur up the Republicans in their
respective districts to work little harder,
with the hope that the Democratic
majority would be reduced. All the in
dications justify the conclusion that the
Democrats will have as large a majority
in the next House as they have in the
present one.
There is more interest, apparently,
throughout the country in the municIpal
election in New York city than in the
Congressional elections or in any State
election. This interest is due to two
things. One is that the workingmen's can
ddate, Mr.. George, is a Socialist, and his
success would give Socialism in this
country great boost; the other Is that if
Mr.. Hewitt is elected by good majority
he may be very strong candidate for the
next Democratic Presidential nomination
This municipal contest in New York has
brought Mr.. Hewitt very prominently to
the front, and given the whole country
much better view of him than it ever be-
fore had. The view has not been at all 10
his disadvantage.
Our dispatches tomorrow morning will
give pretty fair idea, doubtless, of the
result OF the elections, but it may be sew
eral days before 1t is known exactly how
the House stands.
