Tno LESSONS OF "OuS5T pIltA O0oOs
The greatest doctors in Europe dont
seem to know what ails fUnser Fritz.
Thus are the Garfield and Grant cpl
sodes repeated, and public conf
dence in ''expert" medical knowledge Is
again shaken.
The effect is revulsion.
Since the fatal days of 1888, many OF
the doctrines of the schoolmen concern
ing extensive medication have been
abandoned, and all schools OF practice
are more and more relying upon old
fashioned simple root and herb prepara-
lions and careful nursing,-The only
reliance known to our ancestors.
These methods and reliances are Illus
trated to-day in series of old-fashioned
roots and herbs preparations recently
given to the world by the wel-known
proprietors of Warmers safe cure-prep-
arations made from formula possessed
by many OF our oldest families, and res
cued for popular use, and issued under
the happy designation of Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies.

as necessary in the winter supplies OF
fifty years ago as was barrel OF pork,
and famous medical authority says
that the very general prevalence OF the
use of such preparation as Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla explains the rugged health
of our ancestors.
While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsapa-
rilla is an excellent remedy for all sea-
sons of the year, it is particularly valu-
able in the spring, when the system Is
full of sluggish blood and requires
natural constitutional tonic and invig g
orator to resist colds and pneumonia,
and the effects of long winter. Philo
M. Parsons, clerk of the City Hotel OF
Hartford, Conn, was Frustrated with a

I shall take several more bottles for

Sarsaparilla is great blood purifier and
I most heartily recommend it"
A few bottles of Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla used in the family now will
save many a week of sickness and many
a dollar of bills. Use no other. This
is the Oldest, most thoroughly tested,
and the best, is put up in the largest
sarsaparilla bottle on the market, con-
tanning 100 doses. There is no other
preparation of similar name that can
equal it. The name of its manufactur-
ers is q guarantee of its superior worth.
While the great doctors wrangle over
the technicalities of an advanced medi-
cal science that can not cure disease,
such simple preparations yearly snatch
millions from untimely graves.

A California Rabbit-Drive.

Much interest has been awakened by
the rabbit-drives which have been con-
Quoted 50 successfully in various locali-
ties. On such occasions. every body
that can possibly get away. turns out
from neighboring towns and ranches.
Vehicles of all sorts. horseback riders,
and persons on foot. flock to the gener-
al rendezvous. Minister'S, teachers.
lawyers, doctors, newspaper men and
persons of all callings are on hand. A
line formed, stretched out rs far as the
numbers present will permit. and then
all hands move slowly toward the dis
tant V-shaped Enclosure.
When the first rabbit bounds to his
feet, speculation begins at once as to
how many will be rounded up. But as
the rodents soon begin to sbound for
ward in all directions. the success of
the drive is assured. Most of the ami
mails dart away from the approaching
line, but few, crazed with fear, run
straight toward their enemies. and
generally escape ~anharmed through
the shower of sticks and clods hurled
at them.
A witness of these scenes SAYS: THE
sport to be gotten out of a rabbit-drive
can never be understood by those who
have not participated in one. The hop
ping, lodging, flying rabbits; the whirl-
wind of swinging clubs; the shouting
of men and boys; the shrieking of the
ladies when n jack. fleeing for his life.
scoots between their feet; the 'shooing
of other ladies who are the sole occh-
pants Of the buggies; the sound of
trampling horses and rafting vehicles;
all these make scene to be witnessed,
not described. - Old men,
whose limbs had long since lost their
vigor. tot:ered along with the youth
rekindled in their eyes. straining every
nerve to keep up with the procession.
while the nimble kid plunged into the
weeds and bearded the jack in his lair.
Everything and ever body was on the
run and also ON the yell.
But when the doomed animals are
penned, all real sport is over and cruel
slaughter commences. TWENTY-FIVE
hundred were killed in the Dry Creek
drive. and another has taken place
where the number destroyed was 200.
Such inroads upon the rabbits must. it
would seem. more than counterfeit
their tendency to multiply rapidly, and
as long as popular enthusiasm lasts.
the drive will probably be the most ef-
fective means of killing them.-Pacifc

Night and Home.

II is night now; and here is home.
Gathered under the quiet roof elders
and children lie alike at rest. In the
midst of great peace and calm, the
stars look out from the heavens. The
silence is peopled with the past; sorrow
full remorses for sins and shortcomings
memories of passionate joys and griefs
rise out of their graves, both now alike
calm and sad. Eyes, as shut mine,
look at me, that have long ceased to
shine. The town and fair landscape
sleep under the starlight, wreathed in
autumn mists Twinkling among the
houses light keeps watch here and
there, in what may be q sick chamber
or two. The clock tolls sweetly in the
silent mir. Here is night and rest. An
awful sense Of thanks makes the heart
swell, and the head bow, as I pass to
my room through the sleeping house,
and feel as though hushed blessing
was upon it.-Thackaray.

A Co-oneratire telegraph Line.

Lewanee county, Mich, has a coop
erative telegraph line which began by
two farmers connecting their houses
with a wire, and which has extended
until now it has sixty-live miles Of wire
and ninety offices, tro-thirds Of which
are in farmhouses and the others in stores
where the farmers trade. Every farmer
is his own operator, battery man and
line repairer, and can use the lines as
much as he p%leascs. They communicate
with each other, give orders TO the stores,
and receive early information Of impor.
tant news over their wire. One farmer
had his life saved by it. lie took poison
by accident, and there was no doctor
within several miles, but he telegraphed
TO the nearest one, told what was the
trouble, and was directed TO fill himself
up with sweet milk and keep filled until
the doctor could get there. The pre-
scription was successful. New York
