THE COLOR or EYES.

Extensive researches into tho hersd-
ity of eye colors have led NJ. Alphonse
de Candolle to consider it CERTAIN that
women have larger proportion Of
brown eyes than men; that when both
parents have eyes Of the same color.
the chances are Lightweight to twelve
that the children who reach the age of
10 years (when the color of eyes are
iixel) will have eyes of tho same color
and that when the parents have eyes of
different colors the chances are forty
five in favor Of brown as against blue
or gray for the children. He claims
tnat brown eyes are more favorable to
health and longevity than the blonde
types. -ArkaasaW Traveler.

~ VOtLD ILE-tSE IhE OLD M44N.
The wealthy and penurious old gen.
tleman was going East. He had a
nephew who was tritle rapid and was
not overburdened with money. The
nephew was elated,, for he felt sure
that the old man would give him, some
thing handsome before he left. 1t was
the last moment on board the ferry
boat. The old man took him aside.
"Well, my boy, I'm going East" and
he put his hand in his pocket and
pulled out u poelzetbook, which he
opened. 1t was full Of bank notes, and
the old man began lingering with them
as he went on, very pathetically: "Tm
going East, and I hope you'll be o good
boy and take care of yourself while
I'm gone. Ii you're good boy and
behave yourself" and here the young
mans eyes fairly glistened as he
watched the old gentleman lingering
the notes; "if you behave yourself
while I'm gone-why-you'n please the
old man very much"
And the old man put the notes back
in his pocketboolS and buttoned it III

eyes were wet, but it was not with grie

THE DhIRYMhN.
Get the Best.

When the cattleman is looking for feed
ers be tries to get the best; when the
farmer is looking for a team he takes time
to look around for a good one, but when
he wants COW, why, anything will do that
has four legs, one at each corner, and a
bag" This is all wrong; the COW should
be selected with more care than any other
animal on the farm, for a good one pays q
profit right along, whereas a poor one will
in the course of few years bring her
owner heavily in debt. 1t will not be
debt that he can measure exactly in dollars
and cents, in fact he may not know that he
is in debt, takes it for granted the COW is
paying her way, and never seriously con-
siders as to whether or not he ought to
have little cash to the cows credit at the
end of year. The difference between q
poor COW and n good one is greater than
between the good and bad of almost any
other animal on the farm.
With good COW on the farm there ought
to be enough milk and butter for family use
and some to sell. But to get this result
few things are essential. Good food and
plenty of it; don't try to get something for
nothing when dealing with the COW; with
the horse you may make up with the whip
for scant feed, for time, but with the COW
1t must be good feed and care all the time.
Give her warm stable aud if possible
box stall in it we'll bedded, so that she can
keep herself clean. Feed and milk at regu-
lar hours-you will soon find the COW can
tell the time make friends with her, and
you will see that she is a paving animal,
you will be sure of it.
After you find ont tie capabilities of
good COW, get another, and keep on getting
another" until YOU have as many as the
farm will support; then you will be dairy
man, and by the time You get too old to
work yea will nave saved enough profits
from your dairy to keep you in comfort
until the time comes when you. instead of
the COW, will kick the bucket"
If you have q neighbor who is rather
quick-tempered with his animals, and he
should happen TO have a cow that is $50
blamed "skeery" that you can do anything
with her, if she looks all right otherwise,
buy her. Take her home, treat her like q
lady, be very polite to her, and the chan ces
are you will have very good butter cow
good butter COW is one that is nervous
and easily make ''skeery," but if treated
right will be one of the gentlest animals in
the world, and will expend her nervousness
in making butter. When you become the
owner of good COW, breed her 10 a thor
oughbred Jersey or Guernsey bull and raise
her heifer calves; you can always raise a
better COW than you can buy-unless the
price is no consideration-and the COWS
you raise yourself will be free from faults
faults" l mean of dispositions; these you
and not be at all "skeery." When I say
can control, and if you don't You may take
1t for granted you we're not cut out for
dairyman.
Try the plan of getting the best COW, and
giving her the best care.-A. L. Crosby, IN

Grew a Beard After Death.

From Carson New Special
About thu teen years ago Hal Clay
ton, one Of the best-known gamblers
on the coast, died here OF fever. He
was rich, and his remains were placed
in costly metallic casket with a glass
case and consigned to q handsome
tomb. His wife, who was frantic with
grief, placed her diamonds on his
shirt-front. The stones were valued at
$500. Fearful lest the gems would be
taken from the vault she placed O.
watch ct the tomb, and it was main
tanned for many weeks. Clayton was
a Southerner, and the body was dis
posed of alter the Southern fashion,
above ground.
A few days ago George Dobbs, who
has the care OF the cemetery, was
possessed with curiosity to visit
Hal Clayt tons tomb, and, securing the
keys OF the vault, took a look at the
remains. He was astonished to find
that Clayton's beard and mustache
had grown under the glass case to
sucn an extent that they had reached
below his knees. The beard was a rich
brown color, extendlngin wavy masses
over the body end having a perfectly
healthy appearance, as it might have
had on living man. The beard mad
been growing in this way for thirteen
years.
Clayton had a romantic life. He
WAS engaged to a handsome young
girl in the South and left her to seek
his fortune. She became tired OF his
absence and, setting out to find him,
drifted homeless and friendless from
one mining camp to another. After
years of this lie she met her former
lover, but was so changed by her wan
dering life that he reused to marry
her. After his reputation OF his old
sweetheart he became sick, and when
lying at Deaths door she came to his
bedside sni nur5ed him back to
health. Filled with gratitude at her
devotion, he renewed the affection of
his youth and married her. She proved
a devoted wife, and when he died she
built at large expense the vault where
his remains now lie, and in which his
beard has been growing all these years.
Whether the diamonds are on his ehirt
front is not known, as the beard hides
the body from the knees up.

THE ORCHARDIST.
Care OF q lo,n.1 Ol.chard.

Care Of n Young orchard.
In starting a young orchard much care is
required for q few years to protect the
trees from insects. Twice a year they
should be washed with strong solution of
whale oil soapsuds, TO which a little green
COW manure should be added After going
over the trees once with wooden cloth
dipped iii this solution, rubbing the trunk
and some of the largest limbs, next take up
some earth on the cloth and give the tree q
smart rubbing, finally dipping again in the
solution and dressing the trees down thor
oughiy. This treatment not only destroys
all insects, but gives the bark beautiful,
thrifty appearance. Neither grass nor
weeds should be allowed to grow around
the tree. but liberal mulch should be
placed about each tree to prevent the soil
from drying up. As the tree begins to
limb out it is important to shape the top
Alright. The limbs must not be allowed to
stand too thickly. One may think while
the tree is young that the limbs are none
too thick, but in a few years more they
will look very different. Thin out little
every year after the trees get we'll to grow
ing, but never cut q tree when the sap is
flowing. Wait until the leaves have fallen
and the sap has returned to the roots. AS
soon as it remains in the roots, trimming
may be done with less damage than at any
Otuer Time.
Even when the sap is dormant and in
the roofs, if necessary to remove large
limb the wound should be painted over
with shellac to keep the water out, ever
remembering the importance of light and
space 10 give the fruit size, n ruddy color,
and a desirable flavor. The less work
done upon an apple tree when the sap-is
in the top the better, except to wash tho
same and to look after insect enemies.
The borer is liable to gain a Judgment
from which it will be hard to remove it.
Its presence may be detected by the dust
on the surface OF the ground near the
roots of The tree. Take a small wire and
probe until the berer is reached, then kill
it. Next fill the cavity with wax. By way
of prevention a piece of tarred paper
around the tree is quite help against the
borer in the summer and mice in winter

FAX AND NERVOUS WOMEN.
How Strength of Nerves and Health of
Body May Easily be Obtained.

Women are great sufferers from nervous
ness, weakness, nervous prostration and eX-
hausuol. They droop and languish under
household ca e and work which never ends
They retire tired and wake tired and unre-
ireshed; they are worn out and exhausted in
nerve and vital power. and have no strength
or energy.
Fortunately it would almost seem
dispensation of divine Providence TO over
worked humanity-there are medicines
which restore lost nerve forces, rebuild the
weakened system and re-establish health
strength and energy. These medicines
which are purely vegetable have been COM
blned into wonderful remedy known as
DR. Greene's Neryura Nerve Tonic which is
kept by all druggists at 81 per bottle. This
truly wonderful remedy is without doubt
the greatest discovery of the century, and is
the best strengthening and inyigorating rem
edy ever known.
For nervous and physical exhaustion
weak. tired, and languid feelings with no
power or ambition for exertion it is a
sovereign remedy and absolute certain cure.
In cases of sleepleSsness and nervous irrita-
bility It's use Will be followed by calm re-
pose and natural refreshing Sleep. For
nervousness, nervous debility, exhausted
vitality, dependency and depression of the
mind it is perfect specific For malaria
neuralgia, rheumatism, paralysis, numb
ness, trembling and insanity it is the only
positive and recognized remedy. 1t never
fails to cure nervous and sick headache,
weakness and pain in the back or side
palpitation of the heart, apoplexy, epileptic
fits, hysteria, St Nitus's dance, dyspepsia,
Indigestion loss of appel tie, constipation,
bihousness, kidney and liver diseases.
Other medicines may be offered by drug
gists, but do not be persuaded to try I'M
certainties, when by the use Of this wonder
full remedy you can certainly be cured
Should your druggist not have Dr. Greene
Nervura Nerve Tonic, hc will get il for You
ifyou insist upon having it. DR.. Greene, its
discoverer, is the great specialist in the cure
of nervous and chronic diseases, and he

feeding place in one end ard the bed in
another. This arrangement will help keep
both ends clean. Hogs are generally more
neglected than any other animals, whereas
they require to be carefully handled. Hogs
are more susceptible to colds and infamma-
tory diseases than many suspect. They
cannot relieve themselves of the surplus
heat by evaporation or sweating, like some
animals, and when made hot in their nests
the surface cools too rapidly in winter and
the blood being driven in will cause internal
Inflammation. The extremes should be
