Words of Weather Wisdom.

When distant objects stand out
very clear in the atmosphere storm
is near.
If there are no clouds in the sky
it may mean more of a storm than
if the clouds are plentiful.
When the stars are numerous and
bright that sign of bad weather
before long.
If you see shafts of red IN the
east just before the sun rises there's
going to be wind soon, perhaps the
next day.
Wheu the swallows fly high it is
clear weather, if they fly low. look
out for rain.
If pigeons hang around the coop
it means rain; if they fly away and
fly a great deal the weather will be
dry at least day or So. OF course
L mean well-fed pigeons. A starv-
ed bird will look for something to
eat, rain or no rain.
If male cat stays in the house
of his own accord at night look out
for a storm in less than twenty-four
hours.
If female cat washes her face
before breakfast it's sign of rain.
The average dog will come in un-
der shelter six hours before rain, no
matter how clear the sky is
If the panes of glass in your win
dows are cool when the weather is
warm, rain is near.
No matter how warm you may be
in the city on summers nights
if you breathe freely, the weather
will continue clear; if you feel as If
you needed air, or as if choking,
you can be sure of rain in a short
time,

For some time past the question of
purity in baking powders has formed
quite feature of newspaper discus
sions, and eminent doctors of philoso-
ply have given opinions as to the in
gradients which compose many of the
articles sold under that name. The in
vestigations have narrowed down to the
limit which awards the Royal Baking
Powder the palm of purity, and several
of the most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that no e1-
traneous or deleteriouS matter enters
into its composition. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company have achieved
worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation of
cream of tartar for baking purposes. 1t
is iDdisputably shown that they have
eliminated all elements of tartrate of
lime, alum or other impurities. and pre-
sent to the public a healthful and
chemically pure article. Such widely
known chemists as Henry Morton, E, G.,
Love, Ii. A. Mott, VIM. McMurtrie and
others have verified its superiority over
other manufactures. and testified,
through practical experience, to its eX-
cellence. 1t is well for families to OBJ
serve the fact that it costs more TO man
ufacture the Royal Baking Powder
than any other, but is, as shown by
chemical analysis, the one absolutely

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED BOY.
Only Sweet Memory of the Days of Log
Cabin Statesmen,
New Orleans States.


Dear old-fashioned. boy, we were
one of you, but you have disappear
ed. You are a thing of the past
and will live no more except in
memory and in song. We can see
you now in your summer costume
lin your blue cottonade pants but
toned to a short shirt of the same
material, and in your little white
wool hat the crown Of which had
grown to a point and resembled a
miniature church spire. We can
even see, and hear when you walk,
the fippity-fop" of the dirty and
loosened rags which cling about
your sore toes, rendered nailless by
frequent stumping against roots.
The COB of sweet gum sticking to
the bottom of your trousers is in
the same old spot, and the large,
ripe boil on your chin looks as ia
miliar as it did years and years
ago.
Yellow clay mingles with your
unkempt locks, showing that you
have been swimming in the horse
pond and diving your head into the
mud, but withal you are better
looking, stronger, healthier and
more manly than the modern boy
whose mother keeps him in fine
clothes and white linen, and who
knows not the joy of going bare
footed and wearing stone bruise
on his heel. His smooth and pale
cheeks and delicate stocking-cover-
ed legs may compare oddly and
more favorably to your brown,
plump and bare calves and freckled,
tanned and warty face, and his
manners may be easier and more
refined than yours, but we will bet
on you on the general outcome eve
erytime.
You are the old-fashioned boy
that made good men and developed
into the Websters, Clays and Cal
houns of this country; but, alas! you
have mizzled. Your respectful de-
meanor, awakened politeness. filial
devotion, modesty and blunt truth
fulness have gone. The bicycle
riding, whistling, noisy, impudent
and precocious modern boy with
modern ideas and habits has
crowded you out of existence and
taken the place that you once so
nobly adorned.
The COWS come home at milking
time, but you, with your rawhide
whip and "bed-tickins" suspenders,
are not there. You are nowhere.
You are sweet memory, dear old
fashioned boy.

The hooks of the Favetteville d,

The books of the Fayetteville de-
pot show that there have been ship
ped from this place since January
1st, considerably over $4,000 dozen
eggs. Many more thousands have
gone from Petersburg, Howell, KelsO,
Flintville, Flora, and by wagons to
Huntsville, Pulaski and Shelbyville.
The total value of this single item
of the truck trade in less than six
months is not less, probably, than
$4,000. Railroads have brought a
purchaser to the farmers home. A
few years before the war Fayette-
vile was the only market for Lin
coin county north of Pea Ridge.
Three cents a dozen was a common
price for eggs and frequently they
could not be given away. Butter
and chickens were often without de.
mand at any price. Now, if care
fully prepared, these and other do
nestle products can always be sold
at fair prices because transportation
facilities have brought large cities
within easy neutrality-suspicious.

For the CITIZEN.

For the CITIZEN.
I wish to say few words in the
way of reply to your correspondent,
j. p Rankin. using the language
which you, Mr.. Rankin, think, so
''unfortunate," it was presumed
that every one fully understood the
position of the prohibitionist. OF
course every one knows that the
prohibition party-I must insist
that there is such party-is not a
political party, nor do they intend
to ''run candidates for the judicial
offices" unless in case of necessary
self defence. And this is just the
kind of war I would have prohibit
tionists prepare for, because / be-
lieve it is coming. l hope my fears
may prove baseless. You seem to
hold out the idea that we do not
propose to run candidates of our
own choosing under any circumstan-
ces-that we are TO affiliate with
some one of the already existing
political parties. 1 want to ask
Suppose none of the political par
ties select men fin sympathy with
our principles, will it not be neces-
ssry for us then to run candidate
of our own choosing? Now, if thus
nominating and running a candi-
date will be ''death in the pot for
our cause" my humble opinion is
we will GO dead. Now, | appreci-
ate your disposition not to raise
controversy, and had l the least
suspicious that such were your mo-
tives 1 should not have replied. l
feel that the nature of your article
justifies this reply to you.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as to 'Dele-
gates" little spntter, / do not deem
it worthy notice. Such sputteriDgs
do not annoy me in the least. We
know whence they come, and are
not at all surprised to hear them.
1t is a universal rule that when
truth attracts error and falls upon
the workers of iniquity it causes
the sinful nature of those infected
to boil over and their evil passions
to rise, and like the venomous ser
pent, strike at every thing that may
come in the way. Salt that will
not smart when applied to a sore
has lost its SAVIOR, and is worthless.
The salt of truth when applied to
the pntrifaction of sin always
smarts and makes the patient

Mending Broken Limbs,

The legs of any animal which
may be broken by accident can be
repaired by the use of wet paper
bandages. For large animals the
strip OF paper should be dipped in
paste made of calcined plaster of
Paris, which soon sets and makes a
stiff, permanent bandsge, which
holds the broken bone in place un-
til it heals. The animal, horse or
COW, should be held in sings to
prevent injury to the limb by vio-
lent motion. The broken legs of
small animals, as sheep or fowls, re-
quire only to be brought in proper
position and bound with strips of
wet paper until sufficiently strong
bandage is made. A covering OF
cloth is then put on and secured
with a few stitches or tsed with a
tape or string. The string soon
dries or becomes hard and stiff.

ma very much"
c. E. Dupler, aged thirty-four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
chronic catarrh which he first discov-
cred six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was so malignant that it not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition of the nose and seriously affected
the external parts. He could only hear a
watch ticking by holding it close to his
ear. He suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself to DIR. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear a watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part of the
nose is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left physicians office than
Mr.. Dupler. He said, Why in the
world was PERUNA not prescribed for
me long agoa"
Cramps of the Stomach.
We have the privilege of reporting the
following case. Those similarly affected
can get the name and address of DIR.
Hartman. The lady does not want her
name IN the papers. For a year, or years,
(the writer does not remember the length
Of time,) this lady had cramps, the most
fearful, of the stomach, every day and
night, (which would be followed by that
terrible weakness, which was something
wonderful" The suffering and distress
of this lady was indescribable and almost
uncomfortable. After all the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost fed. DIR. Hartman was con-
suited, and from the first day of taking
his PERUNA, the cramps and all bad
feeling left her, and now for over a month
has been entirely free from every symp-
tom. A more thankful patient no doctor
ever had.

I'll REMEMBER THEE.

A S stray by ripping rills.
And across the vine-clad hills,
Meath the pale moons radient glow.
While the waters ebb and flow
When far out upon the plain,
While in sunshine and in ram,
Far from friends and kindred dear,
On the praiIies brown and sears-
When on some lone mountain height,
/ shall spend q pleasant night,
Meath the star-lit realms above,
Dreaming of an absent love-
I'll dream OF thee, my little girl.
With sparkling eye and jetty curl,
With queenly grace and charming air,
A maiden, fairest of the fair.

The drift of the present order Of

be making the poor poorer and the rich

the luxury, and the leisure, in which
oil desire ia share, into the great cities,
and are rapidly bsnkrupting the coun.

every privilege except that Of making
the bresd and meat for those who lend
no helping hand in bearing life's bur
