The Funeral Month of
March.

| Nt-5 "
An observant metropolitan bar
Der says that he can tell ones ply.
steal condition by the state of the
hair. ...-.....,.
The Bible tells US that with his
hair gone Sampson lost his strength.
The Romans considered badness a
serious afHiction and Julius Cesar
was never quite satisfied with him
self because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open
book and one can readily trace in
its various expressions, lines,
changes and complexion, the state
Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright
and yet has pallid brightness, the
face upon whose cheeks nature
paints a rose of singular beauty and
flush, more marked in contrast
with the alabaster appearance of
the forehead and nose and lower
part of the face, is one Of those
who the skilled physician will
tell you will some day dread the
tunereal month of March, because
it is then that consumption reaps
it's richest harvest. Consumption
they tell US is caused by this, that
and the other thing, by microbes
in the air, by micro organism in
the blood, by deficient nutrition,
by thousand and one things, but
whatever the cause, the decay be-
gins with a 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
a wasting. To stop it effectually,a
remedy must be used that will
search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the
power, special to itself, possessed
alone by Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption remedy.
This is no new-fangled notion OF
narcotics and poisons, but an old
fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used
by our ancestors many years ago,
the formula of which has been So
cured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and
expense. 1t is not a mere cold dry
or. 1t is system-searcher and up
builder and a consumption expel-
liant. Where others fail, it wins,
because it gets at the constitutional
cause and removes it from the sys-
tenn.
]. w. Hepsaw, of Greensboro, Pa,
on Jan. Is, 1888, reported that che
had derived more real benefit for
the length of time, from Warmers
Log Cabin Cough and Consum ption
remedy than he had for years from
the best state physician"
If you haye a cough, night
sweats, 'positive assurance in your
own mind that you, oh-you have
no consumption, and 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 remedies have
failed try this one thoroughly. If
others are offered, insist the more
on trying this unequaled prepare
ton.
Some persons are prone to cor
sumption and they should never
allow the disease to become seated.

turnout Of the kind ever seen in America.
THE young Duke Of Newcastle is said TO
be surprisingly moral and religious for a
Duke. He is devoted churchman, and ms
hereditary possessions include the gift Of
nine churcn "livings." II is twenty-four
years Old, not at all handsome, and has an
income Of 800, 900 year.
Mn. ANDREW CARNEGIE's income is set

s125, 200 per month, <23, sac per week, s, =
I20.s5 per day, sSi3.4o per hour, $5.72 per

day. No Juggling can change these figures.
THE fortune Of Russell Sage is estimated
at S6O,0OOOO0. The old financier is over
seventy years Of age, married, and child
less. He is in splendid health, and does
not look his years. Although he has no
children, Mr.. Sage has a large number Of
nieces aud nephews, TO whom he is gener-
Gus with his money, though he spends very
little on himself. II is said than 10000 a

CACAO CULTIVATION.

The chief Industry of Trinidad and Its
DesIrabiIity az an Investment.
1t is worth little delay here to study
what is fast becoming what will in the
near future be the chief industry of the
colony. Wiser than our Barbadian
friends, and more fortunate in terri
tory, estate owners OF Trinidad are
turning their attention from cultivation
of sugar, which is growing less profit
able. to that of cacao, whose future is
a certainty.
Like coffee, the cacso must be shaded
from the sun; like It, it Is guarded by
another tree that is called the "bois
immortelle." AS we see it in Maraval
valley, and as it is everywhere, the
eacao is a tree of from ten to twenty
feet high. with rough, yellowish brown
bark. large lanceolate leaves, and
shape of young muskmeloas
growing directly from the trunk
or larger limbs, to which they
are attached by a short pe6iele In
color green while immature, they
change to a chrome yellow or magenta
red when ripe or to mixture of both
that is artistic.
When picking time comes they are
cut from the tree, gathered into heaps
and split open, the latter operation re-
vealing the seeds of cacao arranged in
Layers of disks like copper pennies

ting it off in closed boxes, d process
that needs constant caution, as it will
destroy the kernels if carried too far.
The latter are dried in the sun, as
sorted and packed, when they are
ready for market. Cacao trees begin
to bear at about six years of age, and
continue for fifty, during all of which
time they need but the simplest care,
and yield constantly. Therefore, a cocaO
estate is an excellent thing to have in the
family But the valleys beneath whose
shade and in whose well-matured soil
the tree flourishes best are limited in
extent. and there is but comparative
ly small amount of government land
left upon which to found new planta-
tiOns. About the only way to acquire
one now is to watch chances carefully
and purchase either a large one that
some vicissitude of fortune has thrown
into the auction market, or pick up
number ok small ones lying contiguous
and join them into one. Ten years age
estates could occasionally be purchased
at bargain, and the regular price
was 81 tree. Now it is only by chance
that a decent one is offered, and the
price is from So to s. a tree. Even al
this last figure a cacao estate is nc
mean investment. as ii requires no fer.
tilization. and is expected to yield 81
tree per annum. -Americdn Magazine.

KEEPING CABBAGES.
Waldo r. Brown Tells Iaw to Store Them
Through the Winter.

The keeping of cabbages through the
winter is troublesome, for we have
many difficulties to guard against. II
kept too warm they will grow and
split, or rot; if they freeze they are
sometimes injured, and il is difficult to
get at them, and often the field-mice
destroy them in the pit. II the heads
are mature and solid they should be
buried roots up, but loose heads can be
pitted roots down so as to grow and
make solid heads by spring.
To bury cabbages select dry land
with a slope to carry off the water, pull
them on dry day, and if there is any
water in the heads invert them and let
them drain. Open a trench eight
inches deep and vide enough for about
four rows of heads packed a. closely
as they can be. You will leave part
of the loose leaves to protect them and
no straw will be needed, but the
earth may be shoveled directly
on to them. Put on from ten 70
twelve inches of earth and shape
it up so as to keep out the rain. After
the ground freezes protect the pit with
straw or corn fodder, so as TO prevent
freezing and thawing, as this is what
spoils them. Enough for use up to
Christmas may be stored in boxes in a
cool cellar.
Loose heads may be stored roots
down and will grow and make solid
heads by spring. Open fat trench
four or five feet wide and set row
across the upper end. setting them al
an angle of forty-five degrees with the
heads packed as close as possible. then
cover the roots with earth, tramp il
down on them and place another row
with the heads resting above the roots
of the first row. When your pit Is
filed it will show solid mass OF
heads. Now put up boards foot wide
or more around the edges and cover 10
this depth with light litter. using first
corn fodder and then leaves and put
roof over it, and although the heads
may freeze little the roots will not
and the cabbage will mature and be
crisp and fresh in the spring. If you
see signs of mice put some pieces of
apple with little strychnine on them
around the top of the pit. - Waldo +.
