Log Cabin Success.
What ails the young men?

w hat allS the young menI
Robert Garrett's father left him
fortune OF twenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury; he IT,
ceived a splendid education with an
especial training into a thorough
knowledge of railroad management
and was expected to succeed his father
as a railroad king.
Within three years of the response
bIlIties which his fathers death threw
upon him were assumed, he is reported
a broken down man, with mind and
health permanently shattered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is re-
ported among the wrecks His
father, bred a stone mason, was of gig
antic SIZE and strength, with commen-
surate brain power, so he became a
great contractor. then a railroad king
and left half a dozen millions for his
son to dissipate. The young man is a
success as dissipator.
The founders OF both OF these great
estates were borne in the most humble
walks of life, grew strong, mentally
and physically, by simple living and
honest labor and developed into intel
lectual pigmies.
The great men OF our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins of the rural districts. Sim
pie ways of living, freedom from dissl-
patton and enervating pleasures, SIM
pie remedies for disease, effective and
which leave no poison in the system,
develop brawny, brainy men, who
compel the world TO recognize their
strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the satest and
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how TO prepare the teas
and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams
which drive disease out of the system
by natural methods and leave no after
i'll effects. The most potent of these
old-time remedies were, after long and
searching investigation, secured by H.

FOLLY AND THE TRAMP.
months ago a Spanish sailor appeared
in Orange, y. J. with large assort-
ment of parrots. He disposed of the
birds at reasonable figures. The parrots
had been partially trained TO talk on
the voyage from the South, and many
of them had learned to speak some
very astonishing sentences a gentle
man residing IN Llewellyn Park was
one cay overlooking some work which
was being done back of his house when
he heard his parrot which was in its
cage on the front piazza, screaming
frantlcally:
"Get out, you son of gunl'
Tue gentleman knew that some
thing was up, and he hastened to the
front OF the house. AS he reached the
piazza he saw a tramp skulklng away

ing:

house, and would probably have sue
ceeded had not the parrot been on the
alert.

fire space Is filed with coil of pipes

The radiator Is formed of top and bot

J DIGEsTIBILITY OF Corn FODDER.
Experiments at the Pennsylvania
Agricultural Experiment station, Pro-
fessor Armsby, director, on the diges-
tibility of corn fodder, that is, the
stalks of field corn after the ears are
removed, showed that taking the whole
growth, ears and all. tie stalks alone
contained 81 per cent. of the total di-
gestIble matter. The practical mean
ing OF this is that the farmer who
grows field OF corn, husks it on the
hill and let's the stalks go to waste,
leaves over 81 per cent. OF food value of
his crop IN the field and contents him
self with only 6j Per cent. OF its whole
value.

size, and as smooth as possible. For a

crumbs, butter the size of an egg, a
very little chopped onion, one fourth
teaspOOnful of pepper and one teaspoon
full of salt. Remove the stem and a
slice from the top. then carefully scoop
out the soft part of the tomato and re-
place it with the compound named,
mixed with the parts removed. Place
the upper slice on each, putting them
in baking dish and bake slowly for
thirty 10 forty minutes, or until done.
Care is requisite for taking them out of
the dish so as not to break them, as
they are quite tender.

BARREN CORN STALKS.-The extent
to which the corn yield Is reduced by
barren stalks, says Professor Morrow,
of the Illinois State university, is
greater than Is generally supposed.
This loss varies from year to year, as
well as in different varieties Violent
storms when the corn is in bloom may
prevent the fertilization of many ears;
this, of course, cannCt be prevented.
But Professor Morrow believes that the
prOductiyeness of any variety may be
increased by preventing fertilization by
the pollen OF barren stalks by removal
of the tassel from these, or by cutting
away the stalks entirely as soon as it is
discovered that no ear is to appear.
This course is impractIcable IN general
field culture, but can be applied to
smoll plats especially designed for seed.
