Here's a Girl Worth Having

A pretty talented girl who has just
completed her school course with credit,
and by reason of rather special talents
has received more attention and admira-
tion than falls to the lot of most girls,
was asked the other day how she was en-
Toying her vacation. ooh. I'm enjoying
1t very much" she answered, brightly.
"Pm doing the Homework now. aud let
ting mother have little rest ~ our
mother is away on vacation, then?'
was the natural question, "Oh, no,
she's at home. but I'm giving her a
chance to rest in the morning and TO
dress up ard sit out on the piazza when
she feels like it. think it will do her
good to have little change. "-From the

THE GREAT AMERICAN CROP.

Corn or maize is the great American
tillage crop. There is no other of halt
it's area. Wheat has nearly half and
cotton quarter of it's breadth. 1t is
sufficient to cover Ohio. Indiana, and
Illinois, with slice-ot Iowa in addition.
Its area last year, though reduced by
drought, was 81 per cent of that of all
cereals together. and its product was 90
per cent. 1t was grown by the Indians
before the white man appeared on the
continent. 1t is now grown in every
State and Territory in the Union, though
sparingly in these of high elevations, in
the Rocky Mountain region The sup
ply as population increases is enlarged
rather than diminished l. was 81 5
bushels per head in 1850; 26 6 IN 1860;
80 I in 1870; and 35 in 1880.
The crop, 'arSe as 1t =, is exported in
small proper ton. Only per cent of the
production OF seventeen years has gone
is SO per cent. of al, and its relative
abundance or scarcity uakes the price.
Ii scarce, the price is high, and foreign
ers decline to buy; 1t lDw enough to
compete with foreign feeding stutfs, ii
lirger quantity Is exported Neither
Liverpool nor Chicago makes the price,
but the farmers aud country feeders,
who use five sixths OF all. IL is crop
nf which railways carry but small part.
Less that one fifth crosses state lines.
Half is used for feeding for milk or flesh.
| QUE tenth for human food, aud four
tenths Tor the food of working animals.
| For spirits scar cely one per cent. is used,
| and yet we hear demagogues, not to say
statesmen, who insist that prices would
| go down il the farmer WAS deprived OF
the distillery demand. The uses OF corn
it would be difficult to limit, i'll food, III
drink, in clothing. in bedding. i'll milk,
meat and wool, starch and sugar Iney
are SO many that tho lack of foreign de-
mand for the raw grain would prove Il
Il blessing, as there is Il greater profit Ill
enlargement of its extended products.
| 1t is a raw material TOR manu- acture
| which we have even less reason to import
than cotton. wool, hemp, or flax, an
which, like all other raw materials,
should only be exported as manu!ae-
lures The prospect for the present
year is tor the largest area ever grown OF
this distinctively American crop. ASIDE
from the area intended for gram, there
will be millions of acres drilled fol
forage, the silo, and the summer dairy
No other plaut will produce so much
nutritious feed on a given area No Other

Old moneybags mopes in his office all day,
As snappish and cross as a bear:
The clerks know enough to keep out of his way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and swear
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear OF Il cuff,
Or kick. If she ventures too near;
They all know the master is apt to be rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and grim,
And behave so confoundly mean?
There's certainly something the matter with him
1t is stomach, or liver, or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and bad,
His blood is dsordered and foul.
It's enough to make any one hopelessly mad,
And greet his best friend with growl.
The world wide remedy, DIR. Pierce /
Golden Medical Discovery, will correct
a disordered liver and purify the blood,
tone your system and build up your flesh

DAIRY PRODUCTIONS.


Under the title of ''What the Cow
Gives U.s." originally from the american
Breeder, a statistical al ticle is going the
round of the dairy and trade press show
ing the extent, value, and importance OF
the dairy industry. What the cow gives
us is declared to be $500 600, 900 worth
of dairy products, good, bad, vile, poison
GUS or otherwise, as estimatei for last
year in milk, butter, cheese, water,
acids, chemicals, color, oils, etc. The
proportion OF milk, butter or cheese
produced does not, of course, appear,
but taken as whole the article is in
tended to show the great money value
in COWS and cow products, and the i'm
portance. commercially and politically,
of the 4 000 600 farmers who own them.
Whether the figures are correct or not,
there is no doubt that the dairy industry
is very large, aud susceptible of still
larger expansion. One thing. however,
is very certain, that out of !, $50, 900, 600
pounds OF butter SAID TO De made last
year, at least one-third of it ought never
to have been permitted to have been
sold for food The same mag be SAID of
cheese, big part of the annual product
being skim or filled cheese, and about as
nutritious and dgestible as sawdust.
Competent observers are Of the opinion
that large part of the increase, both in
production and value of dairy products,
represents merely the increased adultera-
ton and dishonesty on the part OF the
dairymen and farmers, Take from the
estimator of What the Cow Gives Us"
the beef and hog fats and vegetable oils
not to speak Of the more pernicious
adulterants, such as chemicals and acids,
salt, water. colorlng matter. and other
things which are taken from various
sources and finally credited to the COW.

The discoverer Of the Drum Lummon
was MI. Thomas Cruise. In the days be-
fore he sold his property and returned to
Helena a much honored millionaire Mr..
Cruise was locally known as ''old
Tommy" and was looked upon as a
somewhat visionary man. None ques
toned after a time that his mine, where
he lived and labored alone, was valuable.
but few placed its worth 30 high as did
the patient owner. When he refused
half a million for his mine the people of
Helena called him foolish, and when he
turned away from the offer of a million
they called him a fool.
But the miner was wiser than his
friends, and eventually received his price,
$11, 500, 900, and q goodly number Of
shares in the new company. Then, as
often is the case, the old familiarity was
dropped, and the Tommy" of by-gone
days became Mr.. Thomas Cruise, ''capi-
talist." A kind, thoroughly honest man,
of whom all who know him are ready to
say a good word, he is a familiar figure
on the streets Of Helena, and today is
president of q savings bank IN the city
where a few years ago he was not sure
of getting trusted for enough to keep
himself alive. AS an illustration Of the
ups and downs of a miners life he Is 0
notable example.-Edwards Roberts p

THE LAMP OF HELLAs.


The sea Is ours, and all its sunny isles,
The sky and all its multitude of stars
How CLOVIS the world at daybreak, when the
bars
OF night withdraw aud food the heaven with
smilesl
How sleep the groves! The hills in hazy piles
Doze on the horizon. Charfots and cars
Wrought out of cloud halt DER them. Nothing
mars
The harmony that all involves, ~beguiles.
There CLEAN our marble cities domes and towers
Flushed Svith Apollo's smile, diyinest godD
Where bide our affairs and our images.
All these, with godlike leisure, now are ours,
Free sense and heart to worship, and the rod
OF perfect law to guard our liberties.
How bright in air the peaks Olympian shine,
Grit with their golden chain of deities,
OF whom are they who rule the swarning seas,
And load the warm earth's breast with fruit and
wine;
WHO lay the quarry's strength and store the mine
with gold and potent jewels; who the keys
OF science hold, and speak their mysteries
Through tongues of men and genial arts divine.
Aloft, Ike islands hung in purple air,
Their bright homes lie and hoat, filling our
eyes
with mist OF happy tears divinely shed;
Filling our thoughts with dreams and visions
fair,
Our hearts and homes with songs and joyous
cries,
Our temples will a solemn light and dread.

l believe it is a common error to in
crease fatigue. There are cases where it
should be diminished. The thing is due
to diminished vitality. Increased fatigue
further reduces the vitality. 1 have
often found, to my surprise, agood night
follow a day. absolute rest.
Any one who has ever lone what, to a
man of his inches round the chest, is
forced marching fourteen days together,
knows the nervous irritation with which
he filings himself on the grass for the
next three days, unable either to move or
to lie still. The same nervous irritation
Furnishes over work within the four seas,
though the work may not be so obviously
excessive AS it is to leave the camp before
sunrise and pitch your tent after dark.
This nervous irritation can only be dealt
with by absolute repose-fat-by day as
well as by night, with the minimum of
food.
When the day is begun without a bright
voluntary craving for work, day rest is
indicated; and if it is not forthcoming
insomnia will result. Perhaps it is part
of the same principle that neuralgia at
tacks you when you are low. Personally,
| should advise-give up tobacco. But l
know my ignorance of other men, so l
limit myself to this-never use tobacco
as a spur.-London Spectator.

By the time the rising sun Lit up the
Comanche rancheria the whole camp was
astir. The old s9uaw tore her hair in
savage agony, and as the old chief APP
preached her tepeasher haggard old eyes
grew large and larger, expecting instant
death for the part she, though uncon-
sciously, had played in the escape of the
captive. In half al hour a hundred
armed warriors were on the trail thirst
ing for the blood of Rams Horn, - who
had played so adroit a trick upon them
in their very midst. Off they swept over
the plains like a tornado, rending the air
with their savage yells. The old squaw
was charged with having sold the captive
to the rescuer, and was stoned to death
by order of the chief. Ramstien had SO
much the start of the savages that they
could not overtake him, and he reached
thes settlements long before night set in.
u to savage instinct, they swept
down upon the settlements the next day,
but the inhabitants had fled, believing the
Comanches would seek revenge and
make a desperate effort to ~recapture the
German girl. They burned every house
they came to and carried off many horses.
When Ramstien had left the girl among
her acquaintance, he procured another
horse, and raised twenty-five men to fol-
low the Indians, and if possible retake
the stock. After travelling some thirty
miles, they discovered camp fires some
distance off. Resting an hour, the pur-
suit was continued, hoping to reach the
camp before daylight; but the night being
cloudy and the trail difficult to follow,
they made slow progress. At length the
scout told them that he could no longer
see the enemy's camp fires. After a hard
nights march they reached the Indian
camp, only to find that the enemy had1ed.
A council was held as to whether they
would proceed to ithe rancheria or re-
urn. The latter opinion prevailed and
they returned to their s~moldering
homes.
Rosaline Huglemire, the rescued cap
tive, o recovered her usual health and
bloom, and to the day of her death
blessed the nam Of Ramstien, her deliv-
erer; and when she heard of his death at
the hands of Comanches she cried bit
terly, saying that she would never marry
since God had taken her dear Ramstien
away. She kept her word, and died sin
gle not many years aftewards.-Jesse

The inhabitants of Oakland, Cal, who
a few years ago imported large numbers
of gum and eucalyptus trees from Aus
tralia as fever d~estroyers, have come to
the conclusion that the roots of these
Australasian monsters do more harm
under ground than the branches do good
above, and have set TO work to destroy
them. The roots have a playful way of
