The women, God Bless Them!

What would the world be without women?
Our mothers, our sisters and our wives
what would there be without them in life
worth livinga And yet whom do we neglect
so cruellya Our horses and our cattle are
carefully sheltered and fed, and their first
symptoms of ailing given quick attention.
But our best friends among the gentler sex
grow thin and pale before our very eyes,
and because they do not complain we fail
to notice it. Oh! let the mist fall from our
ewes and let us realize how weak and fragile
is woman, and how jealous we should be in
their behalf when it comes to question Of
health. Let US remember that for thin,
pale wan looking women DR.. John Bulls
Sarsaparilla is just their need. It will make
their cheeks rosy and they will grow in
strength and hesh.-Gdinesvttc Advocate.

"A travelling printer once dropped
into way-back printing office, seeking
work. The proprietor, one of those
thrifty individuals who combine the
duties of editor with other pursuits,
such as doctoring horses, pulling teeth,
and peddling sewing machines sat al
his desk in the composing-room. "WanS
any help?' said the traveller. "Yes,
give you twenty cents thousand. }"
"Guess not, don't work for less than
forty cents thousand" Tho proprietor
scrowled and growled out: ''We amt

Sheep, in common with all domesti.
Gated animals, love a change OF pasture
and of feed.
If pregnant ewes are not kept in a
healthy condition, with their systems
relaxed by clover hay, bran, linseed,
meal, roots, ensilage or daily run on
old rowen or green rye, there will sure
ly be trouble at lambing-time.
Keep out of the garden or orchard
when the ground is soft, says an ex-
change, az often considerable damage is
done both to the soil and plants by
tramping when the soil is too wet to
bear up the weight.
-Beets require rich, moist soil, and
thorough cultivation. Sow as early in
the spring as the ground can be worked,
and every two weeks after, for success
sion, up to the first week of July. For
general crop sow about the first OF May.

EDUCATED FARMERS.
Education, Combined with Skill ana In

Educatton, Combined with Skill and In-
dustry, Will Make Better Farmers
The honored yice-president OF the
Young Farmers Club in MISSISSIPPI
although veteran editor and farmer,
always has a cheering word and pleas
ant smile for the young farmers. There
are no better men than Hon. David Dem
nett, of Brookhaven, Miss, and this is
what he says in his agricultural depart
ment of the New Orleans Picayune,
about educating the young farmers for
the future:
The coming schoolmastcr and school
mistress will teach more utility, moral
ity and kindness to men and animals,
more self-protection and self-reliance
than the old schoolmasters taught. Inc
| result will be the world will have better
farmers and mechanics, better artists,
better men, better citizens and better
yoters-better rulers and better law
makers, and better governments than
ever before.
sThe farmer and horticulturist and
the stock-breeder will have better and
more beautiful farms and gardens and
orchards and vineyards, finer flocks and
herds than ever before, the grandest do
nestle animals that ever graced farm
or delighted the farmer. Homes on the
farm will be more beautiful, the taste
for flowers and fruits, and for all that is
beautiful and attractive in rural life
will increase greatly; farmers sons will
not desire to leave home and become
clerks and book-keepers in cities, and II
the daughters get married they simply
move to other farms to help educated
and prosperous young farmers make
even better home than that Swhert
the old folks stay"
The young farmers and gardeners and
stock-breeders, the new generation o
finished artisans and skilled mechanics
the new order of male and female
) teachers, and ladies who follow indus
trial pursuits, the humane and religion
and benevolent societies, will all hel
: make the world wiser and better an
, happier. Merit and utility will be NOR
8 honored, and those who have nothing
= but wealth to recommend them vii
. have to occupy lower seats. Labor, in
, dustry, skill and merit will be honore'
, more than blood and inheritance.

4 singular Action.

DCBLIS, June l6.-An unusual
action has just been taken against a
railway company. An infant girl
named Walker, who was not born
at the time OF the accident, forms
the ground for action. The railroad
accident occurred in June, ISIS.
The childis mother was in a delicate
condition st the time and was a
passenger on the train when the
acclden, occurred. The mother re-
ceived n terrible shock and the
child was born a cripple, and the
afilictiOn medical experts trace d.
rectly 10 the mothers nervous pros
tratiOn, following and as n result OF
the collision. With these facts as n
basis, the suit FOR damages has been
brought by the father OF the girl, As
the child's guardian. Ii is likely to
become n cause celebre, and the
opinion in legal circles is that If
the infant wins her case it will be
an expensive precedent for rail
ways.
