Remedy for TrNnhle.

Work is your true remedy. Ifmisfortune
hits you hard, you hit something else hard !;
pitch into something with will There's
nothing like good, solid, exhausting work to
cure trouble. II you have met with losses
you don't want to lie awake and think about
them; you want sleep-calm, sound sleep
and eat your dinner with an appetite. But
you can't unless you work. If you say you
don't feel like work, and go ioafing all day TO
tell Tom, Dick and Harry the story of your
woes, you'll lie awake and keep your wife
awake by your tossing, spoil your temper
and your breakfast next morning, and begin
tomorrow feeling ten times worse than you
do to-day. There are some troubles that
only time can heal, and perhaps some that
cannot be healed at all but all can be helped
by the great panacea, work. Try it, you who
are afflicted; it is not a patent medicine it
has proved its efficiency since first Adam and
Eve left behind them, with weeping, their
beautiful Eden. All good physicians in reg
ular standing prescribe it in cases of mental
and moral disease. 1t operates kindly, as
we'll as leaving no disagreeable sequet@, and
we assure you that we have taken large
quantity of it with the most beneficent re-
suits. 1t will cure more complaints that any
nostrum in the naater1a medica, and comes
nearer to being ''cure all" than any drug
or compound of drugs in the market. And
it will not hurt you if you do not take it
sugar-coated.

THE HARTFORD
Hedge and Wire Fence Co.
A Properly Planted and Cared-fOr
Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pref
tfest Fence I'm the World.

We claim the following advantages for our
Hedge: II is the cheapest fence made. 1t is the
most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.
Floods do not wash it away. 1t does not decay.
Stock cannot rub it down. 1t protects itself. 1t
stops sheep dogs and trespassers. 1t takes but
little room. You can cultivate close to 1t. 1t
lasts for generations. No new material needed
for repairs. 1t is ornamental to the farm. 1t is
mule high. bull strong and pig tight.
The farmer prepares the ground and works the
plants as he would corn. We do the rest and
guarantee a good fence, keeping it in order for
you afterwards at a trifling cost.
Usage Orange Hedge Fences are no expert
ment. There are many hedges in Pennsylvania
and Maryland which were planted rs years ago
and show no signs of decay. Figure up the
cost of post and rail fence, estimating its dura-
ton, and contrast it with the prettier and more
durable fence we will give you, at only $1.25 a
rod and you will readily see which is the cheap
er. The easy terms of payment we offer are and
other great advantage. Twenty-Five cents per
Rod at the time of setting the plants, Is cents
per Rod when re-setting is done in 1891, % cents
per Rod when re-setting or sde-trimming In
done in 1892, and so cents per Rod when and is

Tea Tasting Extraordinary.

The managing director of a big tea-dealing
firm, who is a tea faster and blender of TWEEN
ty-fve years experience, has lately stated
that he once saw leading broker in Mine
ing Lane have sixty teas, ranging within q
penny per pound in value, weighed up in du-
plicate, the 100 pots numbered and mixed
up, he then picking out the sixty duplicates
without single mistake. As regards edu-
eating the sense of smell, writes The tea deal
err" am strongly of opinion that it is posi-
correctly by smelling the infused leaf as by
tasting. have bought thousands of chests
in public sale by smelling the Infused leaf
only, and have constantly valued public teas
on the same plan. Nevertheless, for blend
ing purposes, it is absolutely necessary to
taste. had fourteen years experience in
tasting ON the market, and left it eleven years
ago to enter the blended tea trade. 1 then
had to begin to learn what l never knew be-
fore-the art of blending tea-and am con-
WINGED that, for this growing department of
the trade, it is not only necessary that man
should have good palate and a keen sense
of smell, but that he should by constant at
iention, understand the art of selecting such
teas as will blend with each other. A man
may have ever so keen palate and sense of
SMELL and be able to value tea to farthing
per pound, and yet be no blender. Having
produced a blend successfully the abilities of
bIender are severely tried by his having 10

Some Hot Summers.

1t will perhaps assuage the discomforts of
the summer to read some past experiences
with heat, compiled by German statistician.
In the year 627 the springs were dried up
and men tainted with the heat In 879 it
was impossible to work in the open fields.
In the year 953 the nuts on the trees were
"roasted" as if in bakers oven! In 1000
the rivers in France dried up, and the stencil
from the dead fish and other matter brought
pestilence into the land. The heat in the
year 1914 dried up the rivers and the brooks
in Asace-L Lorraine. The Rhine was dried
up in the year 1888. In the year 1859 the
heat was so great that eggs could be cooked
in the sand. In 1927 it is recorded that
many men and animals came to their death
through the intense heat. In the year 1905
the waters of the Rhine aud Danube were
partially dried up, and people passed over on
loot. The crops were burnt up in the veal
1894, and in 1888 the Seine aud the Loire
were as dry land. In 1856 great drought
swept through Europe. In 1914 in France
and even in Switzerland, the brooks and the
bitches were dried up. Not less hot were the
years 1916, 1897 and 1901. In the year 171t
from the month of March till October not s
drop of rain fell; the temperature rose to 81
degrees Reaumur, and in favored places tht
fruit trees blossomed second time. Extra
ordinarily hot were the years 1724, 1746
1856 and 1911. The summer of 1915 was 81
hot that the places of amusement had to bt
closed.

She Enjoyed the Sound.

Anew freak in the matter of feminine
adornment is thus described by Edith
Sessions Topper: l was calling on a
pretty girl not long since who is al
ways in search of novelty. Her ex-
plorations sometimes led her to daring
lengths. | noticed that whenever she
moved or walked that there came the
tinkling of bells from some part of her.
AT first l fancied these ornaments
might be on her gown. but quick
glance showed me / was mistaken.
Tinkle, tinkle came that eXasperating
Naturalization until my woman curl
osity got the better of me aud l asked:
"Will you kindly tell me if YOU have
bells on your toesp" She laughed,
gave her head saucv toss and said:
mo, but you are not SO far from the
truth" Further inquiries brought out
the fact that this mink had fastened
silver bells to her carriers. She en-
joyed the sound, she said. and also
the curiosity her fad aroused. 1t was
such fun, she vowed, to see people
studying her, watching her movements
and trying to discover the location OF
the tinkling of the bells. Now eau
woman's ingenuity surpass such tan
talizin1 devices?

Human Equality a Dream.

Hallucinations.

"A census of Authorizations is the
name that has been given to task
undertaken by the International Con.
gress of Experimental Psychology,
which, at its Paris meeting last year,
appointed n committee in each country
to make scientific Investigations of all
cases of visions, warnings Of the death
of people at a distance, and other So
called hallucinations. The object OF
the inquiry is to get mass of facts
about hallucinations which may serve
as basis for scientific study of these
phenomena, and to ascertain approx
mately the proportion of persons who
have had such experiences. Until the
average frequency of Authorizations in
community is known, it can not be
decided whether the cases so often re-
ported are accidental condolences or
something more. Many persons in
England. France, and the United States
have answered the question which
heads the census-sheets sent out by the
society, as follows: Have you ever.
when completely awake. had vivid
impression of seeing or being touched
by living or inanimate object, or OF
hearing voice, which impression, so
far rs you could discover, was not due
to any external physical cause?" The
census in this country is superintendent
by Prof. William james of Harvard
university, who will supply blanks to
all who make application for them. 1t
is expected that CO. 600 answers TO the
questions will be in hand before the
uext meeting of the congress.

MAKING PLAYING CARDS.
Processes by which the King, Queen, Jacl
and the Rest of Them Are Produced.

1t is surprising the great number Of
playing cards that are used. One
factory alone. in Ohio. turns ont an
average of $4,000 packs a day. The
owner attributes the present great de.
mand principally to the progressive
euchre craze, and says that the Amer
leans are the greatest people on the
globe for amusements at cards. A re.
porter of the Cincinnati TimeS-Star,
who visited the establishment, was told
in answer to numerous queries about
the ways of manufacturing the cards
much of the process is secret with
us, but still can tell and show you a
great deal. The bristol cardboard for
making the cards consists of two sheets
glued together by being passed between
two immense rollers. fhe cardboard
must then be dried, pressed, glazed and
prepared for further work. The card.
board is prepared in sheets large
enough to contain whole pack Of play
ing cards"

Its the process of printing the
paper which is to be pasted on the back
of cheap playing cards. It's printed

of calico-colored paper is subsequently

A warning TO Gum-Cnewers.

The prevalent fashion Of gum-chew-
Ing has received severe blow, which
will probably injure its popularity, at
least in the west, says the Omaha
World Herald.
Three Colorado young women who
have been in the habit of exercising
their submaxillaries upon gum are now
suffering from hydrophobia and ten
men are required to hold each girl dur
ing the commissions which are a promi-
nent symptom of the disease. The
young women did not patronize the
manufactured gum. They did not buy
tolu, tutti-frutti. or Yucptan, and the
vendors of the various brands are ia
this one instance above reproach. On
the contrary, the Colorado young wo-
men went into the evergreen forests of
the Rocky mountains and detached
pieces of pitch from the silver spruce
trees. Then while gazing on the beau
tiful scenery or mixing batter for the
family fap-jacks they were accustomed
to mcditatively chew and chew, with
an industry aDc energy worthy of q
better cause.
But their calm, reflective chewing
habits have been interrupted by hy-
drophobia contracted by selecting bits
of gum from the same spruce tree from
which a rabid dog had bitten generous
chews of pitch.
To the logic or scientific mind tho
story of the three maid gum-chewers
may seem incredible. But il makes n
good story. 1t serves AS n dreadful
warning to all people OF gum-chcwing
inclinauons, and even the fact that ten
young men hold each young woman
should NOT encourage any OF the fair
sex to indulge in the rvminant habit
