Little Grain Of Salt.
The following is told on the au-
thorlty OF well-knownAfrican mission
airy: A man having sat down ON q
shelving. low rock near q small f0un-
tain to take little rest after his
hearty drink. fell asleep; but the heat
of the rock soon disturbed his dreams,
whom he beheld large lion crouch
ing before him. with it's eyes glaring
In his face aud within little more
than yard OF his feet. He was at
first struck motionless with terror, but
recovering his presence OF mind, he
eyed his gun, and began moving his
hand slowly toward 1t, when the lion
raised its head and gave tremen-
dous roar the same awful warning
being repeated whenever the man at
tempted TO move his hand. The rock
at length became 30 heated that he
could scarcely bear his naked feet to
touch IL. The day passed. and the
night also. but the lion never moved
from the spot, the sun rose again, and
its intense heat soon rendered his
feet past feeling. At noon the lion
rose and walked TO the water. ouly
few yards distant looking behind as
he went lest the man should move.
when, seeing him stretch out his hand
to take his gun. it turned In a rage,
and was on the point OF springing
upon him. but another night had
passed as the former had done; and
the next day again the lion went to-
ward the water, but while there he
listened to some noise appar emily
from an.opposite quarter, and disap-
peared in the bushes. The man now
seized his gun, but on first essaying
to rise he dropped. his ankles being
without power. AT length he made
the best Of his way on his hands and
knees and soon after fell in with
another native. who took him to
place OF safety; and, AS he expressed
1t with his ''toes roasted" He lost
his toes and was cripple FOR life.

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to
the use OF man Is found in the ancient
temple OF Egypt in connection with
stone work watch Is known to be at
least four thousand years old. This
was the only wood used in the con-
struction OF the temple. and is in the
form of ties holding the end OF one
stone to another. When two blocks
we're laid In place an excavation about
an inch deep was made in each block
in which one OF these wooden ties,
shaped like an h0ur-glass was driven.
1t is. therefore very difficult to force
stone from its position. These
ancient ties are made OF timarlsk or
shittim wood the same as that from
which the ark was constructed.

The Iowa State Horticultural So
ciety at its session in August at the
State Agricultural College adopted
the following preamble aud resolu-
tions which are OF interest to farmers
all over Iowa:
Whereas: Certain unprincipled and
irresponsible parties are selling many
worthless and tender trees and
plants and plants in parts OF oul
state where such articles have nc
value and recommending budded ap.
pie trees as superior to root grated
trees, and
Whereas: Many farmers of oul
stats fail to read o4r transactions
therefore -~>~as new.
RESOLVED: That the ST. :
papers Of Iowa be requested to puu-
lish list Of such fruits as are recon-
mended by this society for the sever
al localities where such newspapers
are published; and
RESOLVED: That we advise the
general planting Of such varieties
only as are recommended by this So
ciety or by horticulturists of relia-
bility and experience in this state.
We consider the tree blackberry q
fraud and the apricot, prunus ST.
monii. SalOme annie and X eifar nea ,
too tender for general planting in
the state of Iowa.
AS we know OF no stocks hardy
enough to endure this climate, we
condemn. the propagation Of apple
trees by budding, and believe the un-
ion Of stock and cion should be be-
meath the surface to obtain hardy
trees. This is not condemnation of
top working but may be used to get
hardy trees to work upon.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. It is a
powerful, invigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. It imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appendages in particular.

mate medicine purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless. It's guaranteed

As regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favoritc Proscrip-
ton" is perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. It is equally cfficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken
for those disorders and dcrangc-
ments incident to that later and
most critical period, known - "The

Under the pressure of labor organ
izations throughout the country,
several so-called labor bills" were
rushed thro' the House q few weeks
ago by the majority as a political
measure, and the senate gave notice
that they were to be considered at
once. The labor pressure was allayed
and now it is said to be quite impos-
sible to consider these bills before ad-
journment, SO they must go over un-
til the next session. The bills to all
intent are dead and it is thus the Re-
publican party always fulflls its

The fact that w. l.. White, the
democratic candidate for treasurer of
state, is farmer and a member OF
the Farmers Alliance in full sympa-
thy with the wishes of that organiza-
ton, makes the contrast between him
and General Beeson, the republican
nominee for the same place, the more
striking and significant. It is likely
that the farmers of the state would
have supported White as against al
most any possible candidate, but now
that General Beeson's place upon the
republican ticket is shown to be due
to the support of the railway inter
ests of the state. there can be no room
for a moments hesitation in choosing
between the two men.-Des Moines

Biddy Creates . Sensa tion.

A short time ago family living on
State street extension hired q green
servant. She was told by her mistress
to wash the second-story windows. She
had seen the way in which that labor
was performed by tho neighboring serv-
ants, and was all right as far as washing
the outside OF the windows was con-
cerned. When that part Of the Job had
been finished, it occurred to her that
tho proper thing was to wash the inside
in the sans way, What was the sur
prise and edification Of the passers by
to see pair of generously proportioned
neither limbs, clad in brilliantly striped
hosiery, dangling from the outside OF
tho window, with the owner blissfully
unconscious of the sensation she was
creating. The lady of the house saw
the crowd collecting and went out to
see what was the matter. Looking up
ward the queer spectacle met her gaze.
Shocked and Mortified she rushed in
doors and called the domestic to tho
lower household regions.-Bridgeport

Suppression That Fails to Suppress

The House Of Representatives at
Washington, decided to exclude from
the Congressional Record the speech
of Congressman Kennedy of Ohio.
under the thin plea that one branch
of congress should not criticise the
other. When party or person can
only protect itself by suppressing the
criticism of the press or of its men,
beers, it is time for the party to be
hurled from power.
In defence of his speech Mr.. Ken
nedy said:
You may blot the speech out Of
the Record, but you cannot wipe it
from the quickened consciences OF
the people,"
Aud o truer sentiment never was
uttered. Mr.. Kennedy with his ex-
cited Republican colleagues OF the
House standing about him, uttered
these words Of truth, and expunging
them from the record will not pre-
vent the people from reading them.
Abiding to Quay, Chairman OF the
Republican National Committee and
United States Senator from Penn,
