SOUND SENSE.

BETTER to gaze upon bare walls than pict- ures unpaid for.
 BETTER to walk forever than run into debt for horse and carriage.
 BETTER to pay the organ-grinder two cents for music, If. you must have 1t, than to owe for grand piano.
 BETTER to live in a log cabin all your own, than in 8 brown stone mansion belonging to somebody else.
 BETTER to let your wife have fit of mysteries than to run into debt for nice, new furniture, or clothes, or jewelry.
 BETTER to meet your business acquaint- ances with a free, "dont.owe-you-a-cent" smile, than to dodge around the corner to escape dun.
 BETTER to cat thin soup from earthen- ware, if you owe your butcher nothing, than to dine off lamb and roast beef and know that it does not belong to you.
 BETTER to wear a calico dress without trimmings, if 1t be paid for, than to owe the shop-keeper for the most elegant silk. cut and trimmed in the most bewitching man. ner.
 BETTER to use the old, cane-seated chairs and faded, two-ply carpet, than tremble at the bills sent home from the upholsterer's for the most elegant parlor-set ever made

FOUND STARVING,

The Navy Department Notified Of the Res-
 cue of Two Americans Arenas Key.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The report of Commander Kellogg, of the Ossipee, on his rescue of two of the three American seamen left by the captain of the American schooner, Annie on Arenas Key, Yucatan, has been received at the Navy Department
 Commander Kellogg found oAe of the mon dead and the two others in a starv ing condition. They were left on the Key with small supply of provi- sions, ostensibly to guard property of the company that worked guano beds there.
 Commodore Walker, the Acting Sec retary of the Navy, refuses to make the report public. and this, coupled with the fact that to-day it will be sent to the Department of Justice, leads to the belief that the Attofney- will be asked to take steps towards the prosecution of the captain of the Annie for inhuman conduct.

 ONE of the last paintings completed by Jean Francois Millet was the "Priory of Vauville." owned by MT. Quincy A. Shaw, of Boston, who, with other Americans, sought out and assisted the struggling artist who had been SO neglected by his own country men.

Tramp Explains Why It Never Did
 Agree with Him.
 ''There are some districts out West where the folks imagine they own the earth," said the tramp to a New York Sun man as he stretched himself out on the bench and cov- cred his face with his old hat. "I struck such a district few weeks ago, down in Indiana got into county where signs were as plenty as thistles and every one of them read:
 Tramps BeWasei Six Months in Jail for
 Trampiugl
 'eThose signs are often put up for bluff, and determined to hoof it right along 1 hadn't gone five miles after seeing thA2frst sign when was overloaded by constable and several farmers and rushed to jail in the nearest village. They left me there over night to be examined next day. There were two other prisoners-one for stealing and the other for assault and battery. They were down on the law, of course, and we had time to fix up a little plan. By trad ing clothes around l got to look quite re- spectable, end as both men had money they chipA,d in and made me up six dollars Next morning when taken before the magis- trate, claimed to be on my way home to Indianapolis, and as had money to pay my way he discharged me.
 'sThen wept for the parties who had ar rested me. The constable was scared into fits, and he gave me silver watch and $15 to settle. got $20 each out of threeof the farmers, and SIS apiece from the two others, making more money than l had ever had at any one time before in my life ought to have had sense enough to leave with my poodle, but I hadn't. ! got drunk, was locked up again, and I'll be hanged if the two prisoners who had helped me out of the first scrape didn't steal and divide the mon- ey, change all the old duds back, and chuckle with satisfaction whenI got thirty days for my offense. Can't depend on Western human nature, nohow. I've had farmer invite me in to eat ice cream and blackberry pie, and then set three dogs on me as thanked him and backed out pre- fer the East. An Eastern man is always up and down with you, and farmers wife will either give you the grand bounce on sight or do up your sore fingers, and set out 8 whole currant pie.

Most women naturally look forward to matrimony as their proper sphere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that fair, rosy face, bright eyes, and 8 healthy. weli-devcloped form, are the best passports to happy marriage. All those wasting dis orders, weaknesses and functional irregulari- and attractiveness and make life miserable. An unfailing specific for these maladies is to be found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for women. sold by druggists. under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be re- funded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years. $1.0O per Bottle. or Six Bottles for $500.

GEMS IN THE TREASURY.

Presents Sent to Our Government Officials
 by Foreign Sovereigns.
 There are in the bond vault of the Treas ury, says Washington letter to the Cleve- land Leader, a lot of diamonds and other precious articles which have singular his tory. Indeed the facts relating to some of them seem scarcely to be known at all, and whatever is said about thsm is largely matter of tradition. The value of the col lection is estimated to be from $50, GOO up ward as high as you choose to go in figures. There is bottle four or five inches long that is pretty well filled With diamonds and other precious stones; besides there are number set in beautiful and costly gold ornaments intended for personal wear. All these things have been ill the custody of the Treasury for long time-some for moro than fifty years.
 Several of the most valuable were sent to President Van Buren in 1889 by the Maum of Muscat. country of Asia as Il testimo- nial in recognition of some service to that country by the United States just what 1t was nobody appears to know. They were sent as personal gift to the President, but he could not accept them by reason of the clause in the constitution which forbids any person connected with the Government receiving any present or decoration from any foreign power .or potent
 
 an insult to the royal giver, and what to do with them was question that puzzled the presidential mind. They were finally turned over to the treasury, and there they remain unto this day. The entire collection has ac- cumulated i'll a similar way. Other pres ents were sent to Government officials by kings and princes who had not read the constitution of the United States, and noth- ing could be done with them but to stow them away i'll the vault. They do not have any definite ownership and hold about tho same relation to the government that un. claimed packages do to an express company. The treasury people have long been in a quandary what disposal to make of them. Two or three times in years past the atten- tion of congress has been called to the mat ter, but no action has been taken, as none of the statesmen seemed to know what to do in the premises It would be rather shabby to sell them and appropriate the proceeds and it is likely that these ''gcms | of purest ray serene' will continue to lie in the dark recesses of the treasury vault. The man in charge of tho bond-room told me the other day that he was going to make another effort to have Congress do some thing with them. He says they are Ca nui sance" and he is tired of seeing them around.

FRAGMENTS FOR FARMERS.

RYB Is one Of the best things to sow Tor fall, winter and spring pasture.
 BEETs, carrots and parsnips may be left in the ground where grown if covered over with earth.
 To GET at the real cost of beef-making the animal must be credited for the fertility it leaves on the farm.
 IF farmer has a good place to store bran he can always save money by purchasing what he wants in the fall or early winter.
 TIE value of clover on clay lands as means of rendering the soil less compact and easier titled is much under-estimated.
 A GENERAL burning of wheat stubble in the chinch- bug districts will destroy millions of germs now that will be voracious bugs next summer.
 THERE are one or two advantages In prop erly sorting fruits and vegetables. It aids to protect the sound fruit from decay and adds very materially to the appearance and quality of the fruit.
 THE farmer who keeps careful account Of his farm, stock and products will be able to meet the census taker when he comes next year with correct statements and not guessed-at positions.
 A WEAK solution of carborc acid and water, says an exchange, applied to cows with brush will protect them from flies. The odor repels, and a little carbolic acid for odor goes great way.
 THE first thing to look to after you have made up your mind to keep bees Is pastur- age. For, according to 8 bee keeper, Q greater falsehood was never palmed on on gullible public lthan that "bees work for l nothing and board themselves" THERE Is yet much to be learned on the sub ject of potatoes. Continue experimenting. Try storing potatoes in barrels that can be | headed u11 Cover them with thick cover- 1 ing of straw until severe freezing weather l sets in, then cover them with soil. THE latest plan with ensilage Is to cut the entire corn crop-stalks, ears and all-into l the silo. The kernels of the corn will be wholly digested by the cattle, as 1t does not | dry out nor lose its milky character, which | gives 1t succulence for-rapid digestion. A farmer who has made this point one of | special investigation so reports, and af1rms | that there is not @ visible trace Of corn In l the voidings.
 | ENOUGH weeds can grow along an ordinary fence row out of reach of the blow to seed
 abundantly acres of land, thus causing 0 hundred times the necessary amount of labor to keep the fence row clean. A growth of weeds along fence row, by holding the moisture and keeping away the
 sun and air, will cause 0 fence to rot in one-haf the time it would if kept clean, thus adding @ tremendous tax to the l farmer.
 "IT is not the nature of cow," says the National Live Stock Journal, discussing the question of the amount of exercise cow
 requires, ito exercise much. She prefers
 in the open field to quietly crop the grass until her stomach is full, and then lie down in the shade and peacefully chew her cud with dreamy expression of the eye that denotes rest and enjoyment. She does not run and cavort like the horse. This is not | her mission"

"WE will not fail to keep our pledges because they (the democrats) have broken theirs or because their candidate has broken his,' said the republican plat form adopted at Chicago last June. In view of Chief Headsman Clarkson's re- cord in removing democratic postmasters at the rate of over 100 day it is sup posed the pledges relate to turning the democrats out. They are keeping these pledges with vengeance.

IF this administration proposes to an- nex Canada it must pursue different tactics from those employed by the commander of the Rush.
