Progression.

Progressive Age.
No one should be satisfied with his
or her present attainments; this age
is advancing perhaps ten-fold more
rapidly than that of a thousand years
ago. Yet some appear to think that
weare at the top of perfection and
but little more can be learned. Such
is not the case. We have much to
be proud of as people. Agriculture
is not what it was fifty years ago, the
country has been cleared of under
growth and timber, until improved
labor-saving machinery has largely
taken the place of the work of
laborers. The sickle and cradle of 50
years ago have given place to the self
binders; the old wooden trucks and
slide have been thrown aside for the
light running wagon. The chemistry
of Agriculture has also been pro-
gresSlVe until the farmer may know
what to feed his plants and what is
lacking in his soils. The use of
manures is getting to be better under
stood, until the farmer runs but little
risk in making crop, The develop
ment of live stock has also been re-
markable. The ShOrth0rns-Holstien
and Jersey have taken the place OF
the tow-heads and little scrubs. A
bullock is taken to the butchers
block now, at one and two years old
weighing more than the four years
old of former days; and so | might
increase the list Of developments
but this will do at present.

Too Sharp for That Trick.

Rats are usually considered noxious
animals, and little mercy is shown to
them. Doubtless they were created
for useful purpose-perhaps as scav-
engers and help to remove offensive
objects. When they destroy young
ducks and chickens, or pillage grain
in the stables, it is right to keep them
down.
AT country house, where they
had become very troublesome, a bar
rel was sunk in the ground behind
the stable yard and half filled with
water. A flat stick was balanced as
a swivel over it, and a bait put on the
end over the water. Next morning
the bait was gone, but no drowned
rat was in the water. The coachman
pointed out, from the marks left on
the wood, that large rat had sat on
the shore end of the stick while a
smaller rat had in safety removed the
bait from the other end.
One of the more humane ways to
get rid of rats is to run coal tar into
the holes now and then. The rats are
exceedingly particular about their fur
coats and do not enjoy coming in con-
tact with the tar.

Where Mineral Water Comes From.

American Druggist.
Sunny what things you can find
in old wells" remarked! a passenger
from western Massachusetts. "Last
fall we cleaned out our well, and
what do you s'pose we found in it?
Here is list of articles, as l noted
them down on the spot: Al tumblers,
3 jack-knives, 3 cream pals, 5 old
buckets, 9 silver teaspoons, 2 silver
tablespoons" "That's nothing" adj
ded a passenger from Michigan. 'We
cleaned out our well last fall, too,
and what do you s'pose we found?
The skeleton of heifer, 4 lambs, an
old pig trough, a swill bucket, and a
dog with a can tied to his tail. We
had noticed peculiar taste to the
water, but thought it was a mineral
spring. People actually bottled that
water last summer and carried it
away to drink"

A Druggists Testimony.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga:
Gentlemen used your Specific
few years ago with very obstinate
and malignant case of Scrofula, and
effected radical and complete cure.
1t was the case Of little colored girl,
the daughter Of a good customer of
mine. The wife had died, and also
several other children with Scrofula
or Consumption. This was the last
living child, and she had the worst
case of Scrofula / ever saw. She had
a great many Jumps and holes in
different places about her face and
neck, so that she looked deformed.
He had tried great many remedies,
and had lost all hope, when 1 insisted
upon his trying Swift Specific. He
consented at last, if / would credit
him until he could make a crop,
which / did. Before he had used a
half dozen bottles he reported the
child well. Ten months after, when
left the place, there had been no re.
appearance of the disease. Three
years have passed now, and no re.
turn | believe it permanent cure
1 am using S. S.. S. on another chronic
case of Scrofula, and it is growing
better every day.

A Romance of stonewalI Jackson.

There is one curious feature in
Stonewall Jackson's statue that is
rarely remarked by the casual
observer. One of the buttons on the
Generals military coat is gone. 1t
suggests a flaw in the bronze casting,
but it is nothing of the kind. There
is a pretty little legend connected
with the button that is worth the
telling. After one of his battles, so
goes the story, "Stonewallo was
approached by a charming young
lady and besought for a trifle for a
keepsake.
81 hardly think / have anything
you would care to take" said the
General.
."Then give me button from your
coat" she said, with saucy smile.
The smile was irresistible, and the
General CALAMITY tore off a button
and presented it TO the young lady
with a bow.
The coat went through that
campaign minus button, and when
the cast for the Jackson statue was
made, the sculptor remembered the
story, and gave it lasting fame in
bronze.
l give you the romance for what it
is worth.

The balance Gin case of a good crop
he sells at the market price?
Yes.
Who makes the market price?
Well, Liverpool and London mar
ket prices are the same as Chicago
and New York.
Then the surplus production of the
farmer is shipped to England and
sold at their prices?
Yes.
Then the farmers of this country
sell in competition with the cheapest
labor of Europe and in the cheapest
market in the world?
Yes.
Suppose he sells 800 worth of
wheat in the cheapest market in the
world, and then goes to a clothier to
purchase 800 worth of clothing for
himself and boys guaranteed import
ed and all woody, does he buy at the
market prices Of London and Liver
pool?
No.
He pays a tax, or royalty, Of $6S tc

of such goods purchased?
Yes.
Then he sells in competition with
the cheapest labor and in the cheap

his plows, tinware, clothing, sugar
rice, lumber, nails, harness, coffir
and tombstone in the most eXpen'
sive market in the world?

The Rights of Women.

J.G. Holland says: l believe in
women. l believe they are the
sweetest, purest, most unselfish, best
part of the human race. | have no
doubt on this subject whatever.
They sing the melody in all human
life, as well as the melody in music.
They carry the leading part, at least
in the sense that they are q step in
advance Of us, all the way in the
journey heavenward. l believe that
they cannot move very widely out of
the sphere which they now occupy,
and remain as good as they now are !;
and | deny that my belief rests upon
any sentality or any other weak or
unworthy basis. A man who has
experienced mothers devotion, a
wife's self-sacrifcing love and a
daughters ELECTION, and is grateful
for ali, may be weakly sentimental
about some things, but not about wo-
men. He would help every woman
he loves to the exercise of all the
rights which hold dignity and happi-
ness for her. He would fight that
she might have those rights, il
necessary; but he would rather have
her lose her voice entirely than to
hear her sound a bass note as long as
a demisemiquaver.

A Genuine Ghost Story.

George Greene dwells in lonely
house near Spring Hill, Tolland
County, Conn.,, which is haunted by
a novel ghost. In the dusk of even
ing colorless human shape inn
prints itself on the gloom of his bed
chamber. 1t remains motionless.
W hen he arises from his bed and
lifts the curtain for the light to come
in at the window the apparent van
ishes. In the daytime the family
hear the sounds of an invisible OBJ
ject moving about the room or in
distant chambers. The furniture re-
spends to the pressure of unseen
hands. Once a case of drawers was
thrown down with loud clatter and
nothing was seen to touch it. On
another day a chest was tipped over,
a table danced, a door opened and
shut noiselessly, and a capering of
feet was heard on the back stairs.
When Mr.. Greene goes out of the
house rustic follows him and when
he comes in it goes ahead of him. He
has searched every nook and Granny
of the habitation in vain for an eX'
PLANTATION of the phenomena, and
now he has decided to flee from the
haunted house. The dwelling was
built about 200 years ago, and there
is a tradition ola ghost in its history
