A Modest. Sensitive Woman

often shrinks from consulting physician
about func ional arrangement, and prefers
to suffer in silence. This may be a mistaken
feeling. but it is one which is largely prcya-

one Of the most skllful physicians OF the
day, VINO has had vast experience in cur

APPARENTLY DEAD.
A Strange Case Recently Treated in I
New York Hospital.

NC" 1OrR hOSpildl'
"One of the strangest cases l ever saw
IN hospital practice was that of an old
German whom l helped to resusctato
after ho was apparently dead" said the
house surgeon of one of the chief hospitals
the other day, to a New York Tribune re.
porter. "The man was so utterly devoid
of all signs of life when he was carried in
on a stretcher that l asked the ambulance
surgeon what he meant by bringing a
corpse to the hospital. His face was clam.
my and his body appeared to be getting
stiff. There was no perceptible pulse or
beating of the heart. He had no breath,
either, and he was practically dead. If he
had got in that condition after a lingering
illness or an injury, we would have pro-
nounced him dead to a certainty. The am.
bulance surgeon said the old man had
been as we'll as usual shortly before he be-
came insensible in his room in tenement
house not far from the hospital, and that
he was breathing when he was placed in
the ambulance. We worked over the old
elbow for nearly an hour without much
hope We rubbed his limbs in the
effort to start circulation OF
blood and we managed to get some whisky
into his stomach through tube, Finally,
/ took hypodermic syringe and injected
a charge of nitroglycerine directly over
his heart. Then he gasped and began to
breathe. In few minutes he opened his
eyes and was on the way to recovery. We
might have sent him out Of the hospital
the same day. but he was willing to stay
and we kept him in ward several days.
We thumped his lungs and applied Varl'
GUS instruments and tests to examine his
vital organs, and he appeared to be sound
in every part. He was rational as soon
as he recovered consciousness, aud he an
swered all our questions, but he could not
explain his strange attack. All that he
could remember as peculiar before he be-
came insensble was that he noticed dis
agreeable smell in his rooms. Other per-
sons in the rooms had not noticed such
smell. We could not find out, and we do
not know yet, what was the matter with
the German. If he has another such at
tack and fails to revive, want to be pres
ent at the autopsy"

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Nothing lessons the flow of nj

Nothing lessons the flow of milk
quicker than chilling the cow
Wheat straw, cut fine and moist.
ened with water slightly saltcd, then
sprinkled with corn meal, will be
eaten by sheep and answers for
them if they be also fed literally on
grain.
Oats that have been cut in the
milky stage and well cured before be-
ing stored IN the barn make excel
ent food for horses if the straw and
heads be passed through fodder
cutter.
Manure for flower beds and DO rd.
ers may be conveniently hauled to
where it is likely to be wanted in
spring, Many gardeners spread it on
at once, but if the soil is frozen very
thick it prevents the early thawing Of
the soil in spring, and so no time is
gained.
Tho ounce is great feeder, and
needs good cultivation. No other
fruit requires so much manure and
such thorough cultivation. If the
trees be neglected, it is likely that
there will be no fruit but if there
shall be somo it will be of small
growth and unSightly appearance.
SCOT is very valuable fertilizer,
but it is much better to apply to moist,
cool land than 10 that which is dry and
warm. 1t absorbs heat, and appro-
pirates moisture from the soil. A
small quantity of SCOT placed in hills
of melons, squashes and pumpkins will
cause them to grow rapidly. 1t also
kills many insects.
Some one has wisely observed that
the farmer who sends corn to market
in the shape of fat oxon, sheep and
pigs is always sure of getting paid for
his crop. The manure pays f)r the
cost of feeding. The man who sells
his grain dire ct enriches another man s
farm at the expense of his own. The
best way is to feed on the farm so far
as practicable.
-Cantaloupe melons do best on q
light sandy soil, with plenty of we'll
rotted stable manure in the hill.
Melons can be started in hot bed,
under glass, after tomatoes 60 in the
cold frame, and gain ten days or two
weeks time-if properly handled
over seed planted in the open field,
This gain in time is usually where the
money lies. Melons ship best in melon
crates,
1t requires about a peck of seed
to stock an acre in sorghum If it be
grown in drills four feet apart At
first 1t is of slower growth than corn,
but grows rapidly after starting.
The. seed makes excellent food, and it
is special fodder plant As nearly
all classes of stock are partial to it the
crop should be more extensively
grown. If preferred, the cane can be
expressed for the juice, to be boiled
down to sirup, and the refuse fed to
hogs.
An Ohio farmer, who has made
various experiments in fattenin9
swine, states that he has tested the
feeding of cooked and uncookcd corn
for hogs, and also ground and I'M
ground food. He claims that bushel
of corn fed on the cob will produce
nine pounds of pork. while an equal
quantity, ground and fed raw, will
weld twelve pounds, A bushel of corn
boiled made thirteen and Il half pounds
of pork, and q bushel of meal cooked
made sixteen and haf pounds.

Not Affected By Age.

Some old specimens of Royal Bak-
ing Powder that had been kept on
the shelf of grocery store for ten
years were recently tested by Profess
sor Schneider of New York, for the
purpose of measuring the loss OF
strength they had undergone. 1t
was found that although the powder
had been exposed TO atmospheric
changes during all this time-for 1t
was not in alright cans--its loss of
raising power or strength was less
than one per cent, the powder being
practically as good as the day it was
put up.
This is a most valuable quality in a
baking powder, one which few pos
sess. Most powders if not used when
first made are found to be ineffective.
If kept even few weeks they lose
their leavening power become lumpy
or caked, and valueless. This is par
ticularly the case with "bread pre-
parations' or baking powders made
from phOsphates.
This superior keeping quality il
the "Royal" arises from the eXtraol.
binary care in its manufacture, and
the scientific principles employed in
its combination. The articles used
in its composition are thoroughly
dried by heat before being compound
ed, and are so prepared and coated as
10 prevent the action ofthe acid upon
the alkali prematurely, or except UNI
der the influence of heat or water
necessarily used in cooking or baking
The Royal Baking Powder is now
used extensively in Australia, Africa,
and other low ATTITUDES, where it has
been found to be the only baking pow
der that will withstand the hot, moist
atmosphere without deterioration.

An Important Announcement,
New York, May 5, lSS

NEW Ohh, MAY %, 1000.
Gentlemen: | feel in duty bound
10 you, as well as TO all sufferers by
rheumatism, TO write you my eXper-
fence with this terrible disease, and
the use of Swift's Specific, hoping
that these words will be beneficial to
all who suffer as did.
About six weeks ago, while at bus
iness, was suddenly attacked with
excruciating pains in my feet, knees
and hands. So severe was the attack
that took to my bed Immediately, and
in two or three days my joints were
swollen TO almost double their nat
ural size, and sleep was driven from
me. After suffering the most excru-
ciating pain for week, using lini-
Inents and various other remedies, II
friend, who sympathised with my
helpless condition, said to me:
"Why don't you get Swift's Speci-
fic and use it !? will guarantee cure,
and if it does not the medicine shall
cost you nothing"
at once secured the S. S. S. and
after using it the first day, had
quiet night and refreshing sleep. In
week l felt greatly benefited. In
three weeks l could sit up and walk
about the room, and after using six
bottles l was out and able to go to
business. Since then have been re-
gularly at my post ofduty, and stand
on my feet from nine to ten hours a
day, and am entirely free from pain.
These are the plain and simple facts
in my case, and / will cheerfully
answer all inquiries relative thereto,
either in person or by mail.
