"Well, that is too bad, said Mrs. Waynes,

''No'm," replied Clemmie.

After supper, Clemmie went to her own

came to tell her it was time to go to bed,
she found her busy making lovely crazy

"Who is that for, my dear ?'' she asked.
''FOr Kitty Tyrel," was the reply. 'To-

missionary the formula Of simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of
Consumption, Bronchitis Catarrh, Asthma and
all Throat and Lung affections, also positive
and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all
nervous complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to
his suffering fellows. Actuated by this mo-
tive and a desire to relieve human suffering,
will send, free of charge, to all who desire IT,

A Dog Party.


The little daughter of an Albany lawyer
gave a dog party in honor Of her dog
Dandy. Her parents tried to dissuade
her when she unfolded her plan, but it
was of no avail. She said ''her doggy"
knew as much as a person and must have
party. So the invitations were written
to ten other doggies in this manner: Miss
and Mrs. Bessie" "Mr. Jack or Toby
-" The dogs arrivedin the afternoon,
accompanied by their little mistresses.
The fact that one of the canine guests
pitched upon and whipped his ''hostess"
simply lent excitement to the event. The
dogs were parted, cuffed soundly by their
little owners, and made to behave there
after. After good time romping about,
the eleven CANNES were set about the
table in high chairs, each with napkin
tied about his or her throat. They ate off
plates and went through the courses with
a gusto. They all ate their dessert, for

a Dog That Got His own License.

At New Haven, Conn.,, recently, a
Scotch collie made his appearance in the
town clerks Office. He placed his fore
paws on the desk of one Of the clerks and
whined. Finally he laid a silver dollar,
which he held in his mouth, on the floor
at the foot of the clerk. 7is
The dog was recognized as Jimmy
Brown, the property of Prof. d. Cady-
Eaton of Yale university. For several
years Prof Eaton has brought the dog to
the town clerk to have him registered.
This year he came with him as far as the
front entrance. There he threw coin
upon the sidewalk and the dog picked
it up and carried it into the town clerks
Office. As soon as it was learned what the
dog wanted, his papers were made out and
placed in an envelope, which was given to
him, and in his mouth he carried them to
his master, who was waiting for him out
side the building

pense and thus provide themselves with
material in quantities, and through that
medium show in reality the true merits of
their machines. But the work should be
ne thoroughly, not by working a few
pounds or tons of ramie or jute, but by saw
ing crops of acres. Then, and not until then,
actual facts will be ascortained, both as re-
CARDS the work done by the machines and
the yield per acre. Our hopes for the former
have not been realized, our theories for the
latter thus far are baseless. and the three
and four crop statementa myth. Two crops
a year will be satisfactory enough to the
planters provided the machines do the
work economically.
That the ramie and jute are crops easily
raised, and at a moderate expense, are facts
known to all, and whilst do not discourage
planting on a small scale whenever the con-
dttion of the soil is suitable, no crops of any
magnitude should be planted until the rich
fibre companies show beyond a doubt that
tl~inventions they possess are really what
is needed to save a jute-ramie crop eccnomi-
cally and in a marketable condition, such
as the cotton gin does for our cotton crops.
No one should be troubled about finding a
ma .ket for iute or ramie. The world wants
both. Chemical processes. spinning and
weaving are matters that do not affect the
planter any more than they do our cotton
crops. The Planters province is to raise
the raw material of jute and ramie, the
same as they raise our cotton crops; the
balance of the work belongs to other chan

Ramie Machines.

In a number of Southern papers farmers
are advised to plant ramie and are told that
inventors have succeeded in producing a
machine that will prepare ramie for mar

great profit. The following letter to the
