ISrBEU.S S. Senate yesterday MIR. Ed
munds introduced bill to establish ma
tional university in Washington at the e1-
pence Of the people of the country. Why q
poor man With boys In Maine or Texas
should be taxed to support college, az
Washington is what nobody except an sdvo'
cate of centralized government can tell.
The bill also provides that the study OF
Cb,istian theology sha)l not be excluded
from the curriculum, and that no student
shall be excluded on account OF color or Cit
izsnship. As the particular sort OF Cnflf
tian theology that may be taught would ex-
clude the sons of ell except the believers IN
that sort, and es white boys would not al
tend college at which their classmates

that Its author Ia not as wise man as hl'

wedding Rye from wheat.

In wheat growing localities rye is a
weed, and an especially dangerous one to
get among seed wheat. We have known,
says Toronto Mail, some wheat growers
who would not grow rye on any part Of
their farms, as it would get into the
manure piles and thus spread to the
wheat field. Rye is much more hardy
than wheat, and in bad seasons it in
creases. AS its tall heads peer above the
wheat, ten days or more before the latter
heads out, there is ample time to go
through the field with sharp knife and
cut out the intruder 1t is curious to
note the prolificacy of rye when it has a
good chance. Each of these stools is
from single grain, and each will have
from four or five to eight or more stalks
with well filled head, and altogether
bearing often fifty to sixty times the
number of the grains from which it
sprung. AS the farmer is doing this job
he may well wonder why rye, as sown
IN the field for grain, does not yield at
this rate, and whether he does not usual
ly SOW three or four times as much seed
as would be needed if the plants were
better manured and the soil better fitted.

Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made, and that, too. by lady in

organs were undermined and death

coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought of us bottle of DIR. Kings
New Discovery for consumption and was
so much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night, and with one
bottle has been miraculously cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write

Dieting.

Many remedies for Kidney
trouble prescribe rigid system
of dieting, and a total cessation
from coffee, tea, and kindred
beverages, with a long rule to
be observed, which, if violated,
will neutralize the effect of the
medicine. Now, it is danger
GUS for adults to suddenly alter
their habits of living. The sys-
tenn has become used to it and
any violent change is only apt
to bring dyspepsia. heart trou-
BILE or other arrangement of the
organs. In taking Reid's Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure it
is simply necessary to be mod
crate. If you eat too much, eat
less, but do not starve yourself,
or "knock off entirely" If you
drink too much, drink less,
whether it be coffee, tea, or any
other beverage. Then take the
cure according to directions and
it will heal you Of your trouble.
This is especially true in sum-
mer. 1t is at this season of the
year that persons take cold
easily and lay the foundation
of subsequent diseases. A sud-
den change in the weather, ex-
posure to showers, change of
clothing, sleeping in draughts
gives them a slight cold; they
neglect it, and when fall sets in
they are ready to be laid up
with cough, or they suffer from
pleurisy, or they have pain in
the back, or catarrh, or bron-
chitis. All these come from a
cold neglected. If at the begin
ing the sufferer will take Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure according 70 directions he
can and will avoid these trou-
bles and escape any i'll effects
from the heats of summer, for it
is not only a safeguard against
cold, but it builds up the sys-
tenn and enables it to resist dis
ease.
