On the still heights Of being whence they span
The pleasant, fruitful valleys lying Greeny;
In peace--that moonlight happiness Of man,
Calm as the wise stars over watching kreuly,
They walk content to know the things they can.
They heed no rush of storm clouds rolling under,
Nor lightning tongues outieaping lips OF thunder,
Nor pause astonished by sunset wonder.
Below those heights, above the warm, green val

Each diving wind cloud with my nature dallies,

their aim is not so much to serve worthily

will see tobacco impregnated men expector-

left its death-like mark you will see untidy

their noisome presence you will see lazy eyes
and suspicious, hawk-like brows and sensual

SIGNALING AT SEA.
Sound Issuing from Fog Gives No Trust
worthy Indication of Its Source.

sound Issuing from "A Fog Gives No Trust
worthy Indication of Its Source.
The danger of changing course in fog,
after hearing the warning signal of an APP
proaching vessel, cannot be overestimated.
Owing to the fact that the direction of the
sound is not always evidence of the bearing
of its source, one is quite as likely to run
into danger as away from it. The rules re-
qulre that at such times every ship shall go
at a moderate rate of speed. This, however,
is not sufficiently explicit Results quite as
serious are likely to occur if the great iron
ships of the present day collide while going
at a moderate as well as at high rate of
speed, and this fact induces too many ship
masters to rush through fog believing that
in reducing the time in the dangerous zone
they reduce the number of possible encoun-
ters This is a valid argument while the
Interpretation as to what constitutes n mod
crate rate of speed is left to the individual
conviction or convenience of the shipmaster,
This matter can only be treated cOnclusively
by international agreement. The difficulty
in solving the problem will not be in franz
ing rules for action but in finding apparatus
which will indicate early enough the direc-
ton and course of an approaching ship.
As already pointed out sound issuing from
fog gives no trustworthy indication of the

Farmer Murray.

Joe Murray, the genial traveller for the
j. W. Butler Paper CO., has bought a
farm in Hand county, Oak, He bought
it from brother of Il. l.. Blackford of
this city. Joe has weariod Of drumming
country printers, and will engage In the
peaceful pursuit of agriculture. Joe's
ideas on farming are vague as yet. He
has a theory that ducks should not be
MIXED more than once day, and that
sauer kraut should be sown in the fall,
like winter wheat. He is also advOCat
ing a new method of manufacturing dairy
products. All the cows that he intends
to make butter from will be backed up
around a windmill tower and their tails
elevated and fastened to d cam wheel.
The mill will then be set in motion, the
cam will raise and lower the tails rapidly,

The observers of,the Illinois weather
service have made the following report
for the week ending March 10, to the
secretary of the state board of agricul>
ture, concerning the condition of winter
wheat, rye, pastures, live stock, etc:
The condition of winter wheat is some
better than reported March 3. and with
favorable season until harvest an average
yield per acre may be expected. Tie
most favorable prospects for winter
wheat are reported by the correspon-
dents in the following counties. where
the condition is as noted: Kendall,
Madison, White, Clay, 75 Iroquois and
Woodford, 50; Cumberland, 60; Bond,
so, Wayne and Pope, 10. The recent
rains have improved the appearance Of
the wheat,
The condition of rye has improved
during the past week and except in few
counties it is up to h seasOnable average
EXc~pt ing the counties of Clinton and
Wayne, the prospect is favorable for
from three fourths to an average yield
per acre. The most favorable reports
concerning the condition of rye come
from the following counties in which
there will be an average or better yield
per acre, viz: McHenry, Winnebago,
Ogle, VIII, Putnam, Peoria, Henderson.
Hancock, Pike, Morgan, SangemOn
Douglas. Clay and Monroe.
Meadows and pastures have been ben
Gifted by the late rains, but much more
rain is needed to thoroughly saturate the
ground. pastures are not up to an aver
age seasonable condition, and the pros
poets for the next hay crop ale not fiat
tering. There is considerable complaint
of the serious damage to meadows, the
result of the drouth of the past season.
The prospects are not favorable for
an average crop of fruit in but few coun-
ties in the state. The orchards are in
better condition in the southern portion
of the state than elsewhere. The fruit
trees are looking well in the counties of
Massac, Pulaski, Union, Jackson, Frank
lin, White, CALLAHAN, Wayne, Clay, Gins
ton, Fayelte, Shelby, Montgomery and
Cumberland. In the more northern
counties the prospects for fruit are not as
good as in the counties named.
The scarcity of the grain and forage
crops last harvest has influenced many to
feed sparingly during the past winter, and
farm animals are consequently not in as
good condition as usual for this season.
There is no complaint of any prevail
| ing diseases among farm animals in any
portion of the state.

Gen Alexander told another story: At the
battle of Manassas he was fighting near a
farm house, which he discovered to be the
house of Mr. Lewis McCabe, relative of his
wife Before the battle was over the house
was literally riddled and the farm ruined
Gen. Alexander never saw Mr.. McCabe again
until at Appomattox. While fighting there
his artillery was near farm house, which
he found out to be the home of Mr.. McCabe.
He met that gentleman few moments later,
and he said MY home at Manassas was
ruined by battle and l left it and came 200
miles away. l thought L was clear out of
reach, but now this home is ruined.n 1t is
curious that the first and last battles of the
war should be fought on Mr.. McCabes farm.

Nasal Voices, Uauarrh and False
Teeth.p

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill,
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twi..
ting they get about this nasal twang and
yet it is fact caused by our dry stimu>
lating atmosphere. and the universal
presence OF catarrhal difficulties
But why should so many OF our women
have false teeth2
That is more OF a poser to the English
1t is quite impossible to account for it
except on the theory of deranged stom
ach action caused by imprudence in eat
ing and by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption which
are promoted by NAL nutrition induced
by deranged stomach action The con-
dition is modern one, one unknown to
our ancestors who prevented the catarrh,
cold, cough and consumption by album

known as Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
