It is alike dangerous to other horses and men to spare the life of a glandered horse. Glanders is an in- curable disease, highly contagious, and. in the human subject, fatal.

 The hardest work for the poultry man is keeping vermin out of the coors. New coops are not exempt. By using kerosene on the roots, re- moving the droppings frequently and whltewashing tho walls once every month the vermin may be prevented.
 Plants vary greatly with respect to their demands for food, their capa- bilities of gathering the Ingredients from soil and air, and the effects of different fertilizers upon their growth. Hence the proper fertilizer in a given case depends upon the crop as we'll as upon the soil.
 Baked sausagps are excellent and save the spattering of the grease over the stove incident to frying Place them in a hot oven and bake till brown, or roll in egg. then in fine bread-crumbs, and place them on q greased baking-pan and bake tor fif- teen minutes in hot oven.
 F sh Salad: Boil any mediums zed fresh fish Take eff the skin. pick out the bones and mince. Add pepper, salt, sugar, mustard, half a teacup of vinegar and tablespoonful of melted butter; mix all we'll with the fish; put in small baking pan and set in the stove fifteen minutes; let cool and serve with Worcestershire sauce.
 -Creamed Eggs: Boil six eggs fif- teen minutes. Drop in cold water, remove the shells, and in halves. Put a tablespoonful of butter in frying pan, thicken with a. little flour, mix

 Chicken Hash: M nee cold roast or boiled chicken, but not very fine, and to a cupful of meat add two table spoonfuls of good butter, half cup of milk, enough minced onions to give q slight flavor, and salt. pepper and mac9 10 taste.

TWO FAMOUS PIRATES.
The Lawless Deeds and BOldness O
 Pierre and Jean Lafitte.

Pierre and Jean Lafitte.
 In the early years of this century, when there were slave insurrections in the West Indies. and wars for inde- pendence in Mexico, Central America and South America, many people were driven from their homes in these re. gions, and came to New Orleans as a place of refuge. Among them were two brothers, Pierre and Jean Lalitte. They were Frenchmen born in Bayonne, but they had lived for sev. eral years in the West Indies. Both were tall, handsome men; but Jean had the stronger character. For a time they carried on the trade of blacksmithing. Their shop stood on St. Philip street. between Bour- bon and Dauphin. It was pulled down only a few years ago. Bold and en- terprising in disposition. and of com manding presence. the two brothers were fitted by nature to be leaders of men. Jean, especially, was of an ap. pearance so striking that strangers. meeting him on the streets, turLed for a second look at him.
 At first they were only the agents in New Orleans for smugglers who brought merchandise and slaves into the bays and bayous along the Louisiana coast; but it was not long before they became the chiefs of the most powerful or ganization of lawless men that ever existed i'll this country. In 1910 they made their headquarters on the islands at the entrance of the Bay of Bara- taria. where they built fort and a village. They obtainel from the republic of Carthagena, in South America. then at war with Spain for its independence. letters marque which authorized them to capture Spanish vessels wherever found. They fitted out and armed fast-sailing schooners. which were the terror of the gulf. According to con- mon belief at the time, these vessels were pira tes, which did not hesitate to pick up any merchant-ship they could overhaul, no matter what flag it might carry; but the Lafittes denied these reports. and insisted that they were honorable privateersmen, only attack ing the ships of Spain, as. under the laws of nations, their letters of marque gave them the right to do That they were smugglers. violating the laws of the United States, they did not deny.
 In vain did Governor Claiborne is- sue proclamations, commanding the people of Louisiana to arrest the La tittes and their men. Jean and Pierre came often to New Orleans, and read the proclamations posted on the walls of the old Government building, on the Place aux Armes Once there was an effort made to arrest Jean, as he was passing through ! bayou win a boat-load of smuggled goods. A party of custom-house officers attacked hIm from the shore. There was fight, and Jean and his crew beat off thei1 assailants. Afterward, Jean sent polite letter to the Captain of the cus- tom-house force, in which he sai |: "l am man of peace, and do aot want to fight; but l would have you to know that 1 am at all times ready to lose my life rather than my goods.

SPANISH GYPSIES.

Visit to Camp of the Gitanos in the
 Vicinity of Havana.
 If ever in any land Gypsies may be Said 10 have duties, I am sure they were wholly set aside during my three days sojourn in the Gitanos' camp near Luyano. It was along Tn the afternoon when arrived with Ignacio, one of their own men, and not much time elapsed before the evening meal was ready. A solid plank of roughly hewn mahogany, twelve feet long. two in width and fully three inches thick, formed our table. Upon this was spread a crimson cloth of r.ch texture, interwoven with gold and silver threads, bearing suspicious re- semblance to a pilfered Cardinals robe. At one end stood a gorgeous spray of peacock's feath- CTS, and set awkwarlly upon the other was one of those hideous Spanish rellejos. or entire wild boar skins, filled with wine drawn at a spigot in its savage mouth. This fierce and suggestive arrangement remained during my entire visit. Besides these queer recommendations some odd ves- sels and relics were brought into re- quisi;ion in my honor One or two silver tankards of great weight and age made their appearance. A silver bowl that would hold a gallon sat Tn the tables center For plates, pol ished brass and pewter dishes of every imaginable design did service. Dirks and little machetes were placed about for knives. There were no forks, and the spoons were of pewter and of horn, shining like am Der with their generations of absorbed grease.
 The meal was a dismally sober one, despite my best efforts The first flush of cheery recognition having passed. I knew the tawny crew were mentally wondering about the real motive of my ques The food itself was good enough for any hungry body, though one might rationally hope to never get worse. It consisted of ajiacO. or Cuban all-sorts, rice. green and ripe roasted plaintains, or bananas, boiled sweet potatoes and tassajo de puerca, or barbecued pork. roasted and smoked with guava leaves over live embers; and Ignacio's entire family of four teen, including twelve daughters,

 The day in the mountains was a grand one. Though not four leagues from Havana, evidence of country life was as marked and characteristic as though in the very center of the island. In every direction low hills seemed to radiate from points of wis., ion to the horizon as wavelets from the falling of rebble in still water; and yet the face of the country has that peculiar appearance of spreading be- fore the beholder imme asurable reaches of prairie and savanna. Checkering all this interesting topography are seen hedges marking the confines of the closely-divided holdings of lhe tenantry. and among these hedges are here and there found the sen tinel-like palm and the quite as lonely cocoa.

"Didn't Know It Was Loaded"
The young man fell deadl


 A friend had pointed revolver at him.
 "He didn't know it was loaded!'
 We often hear it stated that man is not responsible for what he does not know. The law presupposes knowledge and there fore convicts the man who excuses crime by ignorance!
 eff had only known' has often been an unfortunate mans apology for some evil unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of 1 general interest-as for instance that laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is a i deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged | with winters accumulations of the waste of the system-it is one's duty to know the fact and the consequences thereof. Our good old grandmothers knew for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous period of the year.
 Why!
 Because then the blood stream is sluggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned good deal and made to flow quick ly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good vlgor the rest of the year. Hence, without ex- ception, what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, was plentifully made and religiously given to every mem Der of the family regularly through March, April, May and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential, preventive and restorative custom saved many fit of sick ness, prolonged life and happiness to vigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expenditures.
 Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Ky, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla ''for nervous sick headache of which had been sufferer for years. It has been a great benefit to me-" Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1114 S. 18th St., Philadelphia, Pa., says it puri- fled my blood and removed the blotches from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks Co.,, Pa., says she twas entirely cured of skin disease of the worst kind," by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indi- cates very bad condition of the blood.
 If you would live and be well, go to your druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other there's nothing like it or as good-and con- pletely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots and herbs.
 Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee of excellence all over the known world. Take it yourself and give it to the other mem- bers of the family, including the children. You will be astonished at its health-g giving and life-prolonging powers. We say this editorially with perfect confidence, because we have heard good things of it every where, and its name is guarantee that it is frst-class in every particular.-C CteveIand Press.

CAUSES OF HEADACHE.
The Glasses of People Who Are Most Suh
 ject to Its Attacks.

The Glasses of People Who Are Most Su b.
 ject to Its Attacks. Probably one of the most common headaches. if not the most common, is that called nervous. The class of peo- pie who are most subj ct to it are cer- tainly not your outdoor workers If ever my olI friend the gardener had headache it would not have been one of this description. Nor does Darby. the plowman, nor Jai vey, the bus man. nor GreatfoO, the gauger, suf- fer from nervous headache, nor any one e'se who leads an outdoor life or who takes plenty of exercise in the open air. But poor II tic. who slaves away her days in stuffy draper's shop. and Jeannie ill her lonesome attic, bending over her white seam stit ch, stitch, stitch--till far into the night, and thousands of others of the indoor working class are martyrs to this form of head ache. Are they alone in their misery? No; for my La ly Bonhomme, who comes to have her ball-dress fitted on, has often fellow feeling with Jeannie and Hattie. Her, however, we can not afforl to pity quite so much, because she has the power 10 change her modus vivendi whenever she chooses.
 What are the symptoms of this com plaint that makes your head ache so? You will always know it is coming from dull. perhaps. sleepy feeling. You have no heart and little hope, and you are restIess at night. Still more restless, though, when it comes on in full force, as then, for nights, perhaps, however much you may wish it. scarcely can you sleep at all
 How my poor head does ache!' This you will say often enough; sadly to yourself and hOpelessly to those near you, from whom you expect no sympathy, and get none. And yet the pain is bad to bear. although 1t is generally confined to only one part of the head.
 The worst of this form of headache lies in the fact that it is periodic. Well, as it arises from unnatural habits o1 life or peculiarities of constitution, this periodicity is no more than we might expect.
 If just note down some of the most ordinary causes of nervous headache peol l. who suffer therefrom will know what to do and what to avoid. will then speak of the treatment

altogether too long, and yours, Douglas, l

The conversation had been carried on with
view TO Lincoln's overhearing it, and they
closed it by saying, ABE, what do you think

Mr.. Lincoln had far away look as he sat
with one leg twisted around the other, but ne
