WHERE NEATNESS PAYS.

| Advantages Incident to the Good APP
pearance of Farm.
1t can hardly be realized by q farm.
| er who has never tried the plan OF
keeping every thing about his farm in
repair, and the yards and fields in neat
order, what an Improvement can be
made in the attractiveness of a place
| in this way. Not only will this
attention to the appearance of a farm
| be a source of qualification to those
| who occupy it, but it will add money
value by giving a much more favora.
| BILE impression to those who see it.
Visitors or passers-by from distance
remember such q place, and their
recollection of it being pleasant, they
mention it to others. The sale of
farm at good price has often been
| brought about in this way.
The difference in value is more than
one would suppose in the eyes of a
purchaser, when he compares farm
| where all is kept tidy and neat with
| one where neglect is everywhere
manifest The farms may have the
same number of acres, and the build
ings on the neglected one may have
originally cost more than those on the
| other, perhaps were erected some time
later, but for all that the buyer of taste
is attracted by the we'll cared for place,
and the other suffers much more BY
comparison than the value of the time
and money required to secure the diff
ference in the appearance of the two
farms.
Where attention is given to repairs
promptly. the expense is trif1ing, and
the time required to keep the yards
about the buildings in neat order is
very little if the work is not neglected.
but Is done before it accumulates.
Perhaps nothing detracts from the
appearance of farm more then fences
and gates out of repair, saying
nothing of the danger of loss and dam
age by the escape of the owners stock,
or the encroachments of that belong
ing to his neighbors. Annoyance and
loss from this cause can be easily and
cheaply prevented by prompt atten-
ton.
Let the fence corners be kept clear
Of rubbish and weeds, and the grass
be cut, the trees properly trimmed,
the low places drained so they will be
productive. and the hedges. if there
are any, neatly trimmed, and the ex-
pense required for this work will be
found money well invested, if it is de-
sired to effect sale, and a source of
much satisfaction where this is not the
case. and the owner takes any pride in
the looks of his property. or cares for
the good opinion of those who sec it.
The estimation in which a farmer is
held by his neighbors often depends
largely on the care with which he
looks after the appearance of his farm

ABOUT DYSPEPSIA.
How to Conquer the Great American f oe
to Health and Comfort.

How to Conquer the Great American r oe
to Health and Comfort.
Some time ago consumption was
called the curse of America We have
made good fight against it, and
statistics show that the large average
of deaths from pulmonary disease is
filed out by the mortality from that
cause among the native-born foreign
ers, that is, the children of those who
emigrated to this country twenty or
thirty years ago. Among native
Americans of the better classes con-
sumption is steadily on the decrease.
The great American foe to health
and comfort now is dyspepsia. Wor-
ries of all kinds, domestic and
business troubles, irregular hours.
dissipation of any kind and
fast or over-hearty eating are
prominent causes of dyspepsia and
head ache. neuralgia. rheumatism.
blood difficulties, debility and grave
mental troubles are some of the at
tendant evils that wait upon the NAL
ady.
The cure for aggravated forms of the
disease has not yet been discovered,
and, knowing this. one should begin
in time and heed the warning given
by the first symptom of indigestion;
self-denial in diet is not too high a
price to pay for exemption from life
of discomfort. Plain good living, with
meals slowly eaten at regular hours.
and plenty of open-air exercise should
be the rule with those who have a
wholesome dread of dyspepsia Intel
ligent people are learning that stom-
ach trouble is often begun in infancy
and the diet for young children is now
wisely ordered in well-regulated nur-
series. Cakes, pies. buildings and
confectionery are very properly con-
spicuous by their absence. and, not
seeing the pernicious dainties. the
children satisfy their healthy young
appetites on simple, nutritious fare.
Keeping temptation out of their sight
is an argument in favor of children
eating apart from the family, but it is
only in large establishments that this
can be done. When at the family
table it is hard to refuse to give them
the things they see their elders eating,
but better suffer the pain of denying
them than have them grow up to be
victims of dyspepsia. Good Cheer.

The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition by
the state of the hair!
The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness serious affection and
julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in it's various express
sions, lines, changes aid complexion the
state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sim
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance of the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face, is one of those whom the skilled ply
sician will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month of March, because it
is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest Consumption they tell Us is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with d cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence Of q wasting
To stop it effectually, remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no neW-fangled notion of
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
toned preparation of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense
It is not a mere cold dryer. 1t is a system
searcher and upbuilder and a consumption
expellant. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system.
J. w. HensaW of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan.
Is, 1855, reported that che had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
If you have cough, night sWeats, "posl-
tive assurance in your own mind that
you, oh-you, have no consumption"
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away, You may know that
soon the funereal month of March will
claim you, unless promptly and faithfully
you use the article named. If other rem
edies have failed try this one thoroughly.
If others are offered, insist the more on
trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.

PICKING a FIGHT.

A Detroit Dude Encounters Rancid
Looking Street-Car Hog.
A ncid-looking old fellow was
curled up in corner of q Woodward
avenue car the other day when q
dudish-appearing young chap came in
| and took a seat beside him. The old
fellow looked him over in q disguised
way. and it was plain enough that he
wanted to pick q fight. The oppor-
tunity soon came. The dude, in NOV

and promptly said:

his hand to his ear.

Measuring Thought.

A delicate electrical apparatus has
been devised which measures and
records the duration of time to Ito, -
600 of a second. By it's use it is pos
sible to determine how long it takes
to think. The process of thought
varies in its degree of rapidity in diff
ferent individuals, children and old
persons thinking slower than people
of middle age. ignorant people think
ing more slowly than educated per-
sons In this eway the experimenter.
DR.. Cattell. found he could measure
the time it takes to perceive-that is,
the time which passes from the
moment when the impression reaches
consciousness until the moment at
which we know what it is. In his
own case he found that it took 1-20
second to see white light, lilo second

and II to see work. ''Wil time,
or time taken up in choosing, can be
