DARED TO BE TRUE.
A Great Physician DisreGards tho Man
 dates of Royalty.

A Great Physician DisreSards tho Man-
 dates of Royalty.
 Dr. Radcliff was the most celeprateo physician of England in Queen Anne's time. tt
 He amassed a very large fortune, and - was for many years the physician to the Queen as we'll as to most of the English mo- bility. For some reason the Queen took dislike to him at one time, and dismissed him as Court physician. In her last Ill., ness, however, she sent for him.
 He refused to obey the summons, declar- ing "slnce her Majesty's case is so desper- ate and her distemper incurable, hardly think it proper to give her any disturbance in her last moments, so near at hand, but rather let her die as easy as possible"
 Dr. Radcliff observed, a short time before his death, ''when I was young and yet un- skilled in medicine, l possessed at least twenty remedies for every disease; but, now, since I have grown old in the art or healing, know more than twenty diseases for which I have not even single rem edy.''
 The late Dr. Holland, who was an edu- cated physician, some years before he dled, said in Scribner's Monthly: 'It is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day are more successful than many physicians, and most of them were first dis covered or used in actual medical practice. When. however, any shrewd person, know Ing their virtue and foreseeing their popu- larity, secures and advertises them, in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them"
 The late Dr. bio Lewis, who seldom pro scribed any medicine, wrote to the propri- ,1,,fc fa my self the victim of serious kidney trouble, I should use your preparation. The testi- mony of hundreds of intelligent and very reputable gentlemen hardly leaves room to doubt that you have fallen upon one of those happy discoveries which occasionally bring aid to suffering humanity.
 Dr. R. A. Gum, Dean oi the U. s. Medical | College of New York, sometime since wrote ! and published: ''The ingredients of War ner's safe cure are among the most valuable medicines of our materia medica, and the I combination is such as to insure the best possible action on the kidneys and urinary organs.''
 Dr. W. E. Robson of London, late sur geon in the Royal Navy, wrote to the Fam | fly Doctor: Having had more than seven teen years' experience in my profession, ] conscientiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and ef- feet more cures by the use of Warner safe cure than by all other medicines ascertaina- ble to the profession"
 Dr. Andrew Wilson, F. R. s. E. editor of Aealh, London, Eng, advises a core spondent of his paper: "Warner's safe cure is perfectly safe and perfectly reliable"
 These are physicians so skilled, so inde- 1 pendent, so honest, so true to the conscien- tious teachings of their noble profession that they dare tell the truth, to Kings or | Queens or the whole world.

Six Questions Answered by We'll

Six Questions Answered by We'll
 Known Authority.
 I provide lime for my poultry by feeding ground oyster shells.
 I raise cabbage for them. Onions are excellent also.
 Make neat box 13x14 inches, out side measure, with water-tight, slop- ing roof. In addition I make q small run of cell-laths ths height and width of the brooding box. and about two feet in length, for use two or three day after the hen has been put on the nest. I remove her at dusk to this box, close it in front. keep her confined until near sundown next day, anu then place the run in front of the box with brace at the rear end to pre- vent its removal, in case she strives hard to get out Put feed and water SO that she can get either, and leave her at once. As night approaches she will return to the nest; the next morn ing she will be ready to receive the eggs.
 l do not get rid of vermin; keep rid of them by having stand under the perches, containing coal oil. When lice abound use whitewash and carbolic acid-carbolate of lime is excellent also to dust the perchcs and the inside of hennery.
 For packing eggs I prefer a neat wooden box. Wrap each egg in paper, stand them on end, and pack closely with saw-dust; screw down the cover; never use hammer and nails. A wire handle should be at tached t0 the box for safety in hand ling and rem oval.
 The sale of eggs by weight con- sider of no consequence. The pur- chasers have the privilege of examin- ing before buying. If they think them too small let them get a larger num- Der or buy elsew here. If eggs are sold by weight many will be broken in handling. It is a striking fact noticed in selling eggs, that when they are scarce and dear no fault is ever found with a fair-sized egg; but when prices are low more fault is found with the size; because the price is low people want them for almost nothing If eggs were sold by weight poultrymen would improve the size of them by breeding from the largest eggs. Eggs from any breed of fowls can be increased in size bv that method. -C s. Cooper, tn RsGral | Neao Yorker.

H,x of Girl stenographers.

There is some wonder, says the New York Tribune, over the rapid spread of - -t8pe.writing and stenographic offices over the. city. Every hotel. how has such an ofice.-. There are one or more such offices in all the large office buildings down town. The fact is that few of the steDographers pay any rent. They pay for office-room with small, portion of their services, and because 'it is "so handy" to have them near by in case of emergency. The many schools of stenog- raphy and type-writing are turning out so-called stenographers and type-writers at a rapid rate. An old and expert opera , tor says that no less than seventy-hve to one hundred young girls and young men are weekly graduated" and start out to essay the earning of living in this branch. Few of these are really compe- tent. Their services can be secured at from s to $15 per week.
