We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle Of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results -you'll find "a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health1 And "Favorite
Prescription " produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store.

The "Str0ng Man" Business.

Francis Semmelmann, the "Bavarian
Hercules" who claims to be the strong
est man in the world, is not in the pro-
fessional line now, but is operating
silver mine in Colorado. He said to
Chicago Herald reporter recently:
There is great deal of humbug in that
''strong man business" Here, for in
stance, is favorite trick with the sort of
strong man who exhibits himself in the
dime museum. He takes a bar of iron,
apparently solid, but in reality hollow.
This bar will have a look of enormous
weight and size. To see man take this
and then strike it across the muscles OF
his arm or thigh in such a way as to
bend it looks like a terrible achievement.
But it isn't. BY striking this bar SO that
one end overlaps the arm by certain
length-proportioned to its entire length
it takes but moderate strength to make
it bend, as it is the bars own weight
which bends it, not the heft of the blow
struck. Simple as the trick is, it is
nearly always very successful with the
crowd, and to do it properly requires,
too, considerable practice and experience.
To break strong iron chains and wire
ropes is another favorite trick of the
professional strong man. In reality he
doesn't do it all. No man, not even the
strongest, possesses muscular power
enoug Oh to rupture the links of a strong
iron chain or break q stout steelwire
rope. Yet to all appearances this is done.
The way of it is this: Lying on the
ground, at the Samson's feet, are other
ropes and chains. These are hollow or
have a weak spot-due to some judicious
filing or to special manufacture-and it
is one of these the strong man in reality
breaks, after perhaps having the decoy
chain or rope tested by the public or a
committee of experts, and the public
doesn't become aware of the clever de-
ception, since the chains and ropes are
to all appearances identical in every re-
spect with those shown in the first place.
All the seemingly superhuman feats OF
the strong man are managed in this or in
similar way, and the admiring and
befooled public hardly ever become aware
of the fact. There are times though,
however rare, when the fraud becomes
apparent. I remember case of that
kind in London some six years ago, when
happened to be spectator. The fellow
who posed there as the "strongest man
on earth," was so impudent and insolent
about it that I thought I'd teach him a
lesson. So when he was in the midst OF
his performance 1 leaped into the ring,
seized genuine and bogus bar OF
iron he was exhibiting with, and de-
monstrated right before the eyes of the
public, wherein the deception lay. The
fellow sued me for damages subsequent
ly, as it broke up his little game at the
time, but the British courts kicked him
and his case out.

Stealing 9 Child.

A remarkably intelligent elephant
.orking on q r"w brilge in Ceylon, hao
a Young one to whoin she was perfect!
devoted. Ie lied, and she became incon.
solah,-. Formerly the gentlest Of crea'
cures, she grew irritable and e-en dam
gerous. One morning she broke the
chain which confined her aid escaped
into the forest.
Cne night, about ten days after her es.
cape, the officer who had been in charge
of her went out to lie In wait for bears at
a pond in a jungle at some distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning, early in the morning, the na-
tive silently nudged him, and they sew
in the dim, gray light an elephant with
her calf making their way toward the
camp. They both sprang behind trees,
and when the elephants had passej, the
native insisted that rke elder une was
their old friend.
When they reached tie car-E they
found that the truant had indeed re-
turned, and had gone from one person to
another, touching each with her trunk,
as if she were exhibiting her adopted
child, which she had evidently begged,
borrowed or stolen during her absence.
Her good temper ard usual doo;ltyre-
turned at once, and her ownst blessed ths
good fortune which had enabled her to
steal child.-Aurray's Magazine.

REMOVING OLD HEDGES.

A great many farmers tolerate hedges
where they are no longer needed, because
rof the supposed great labor and difficulty
hrequired to get them out of the way. II
cut down they sprout again, and their
roots are too strong to admit of plowing
them up. To dig them out seems there
fore the only remedy, and this involves such
heavy expense that we can hardly wonder
if the jobs often indefinitely postponed.
But there is a much easier way. During
the winter cut the hedges as close to the
ground as is possible, and let the hedge
lie, making a narrow and compact row
over the roots. Next spring new sprouts
will start, and as soon rs these are in full
leaf, pile on little straw and burn it.
The hedge cut last winter will with very
little help burn, and with it destroy the
new growth. The next season the roots
will be rotted sufficiently to enable a
good team with strong plow to cut them
up and turn over the soil. It is then
planted with potatoes, for which the
mixture of ashes and rotten sod makes an
admirable preparation. So inexpensive
is this method that often the first crop of
potatoes on the ground redeemed from
waste will pay all the cost.-Americcn
Cultiyat0r.

TAKING CARE OF MACHINERY.

Farmers should bear in mind the fact
that rust destroys and wears farm ma
chinery much more than the use in the
field. There are eleven months rust for
one months service, and as rust wears
more than the friction of the soil, the
damage of use may be multiplied twenty
fold. 1t results that machinery well
cared for when stored may last twenty
times longer than if it is neglected. Oil
lalone will not prevent rust. 1t oxodizes
and really tends to cause rust by contact
with the gum of the oxodized oil. A
thorough cleaning is first to be made with
kerosene oil. This removes the gum
and the dust which collects upon it..
This dust is apt to contain germs which
actually feed upon the metal as others do
upon vegetable and animal matter, alive
or dead, and eat into it and waste the
substance. The kerosene destroys these
and thoroughly cleanses the wearing
parts, which should be taken apart for
this purpose. A mixture of tallow,
melted, with black lead and sufficient
kerosene to soften it, should be applied
all over the wearing parts and all ex-
posed bright portions CT the machines,
and the machines covered up with sheets
as carefully as carriage should be-.
Thus cared for, well-made machine will
practically not wear out by lifetime S
service.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
FOUR DISHES FROM BEANS.

Put one pint of beans in four quarts OF
cold water with one-half pound each OF
salt pork and corned beef one bay leaf
and a slice of onion cut fine. Simmer
slowly for four hours. When the beans
are thoroughly cooked, which will be in
about two hours, take out plateful and
let them stand until cold. Then make a
salad with two tablespoonfuls Of vinegar,
one of oliveoil one Glove of garlic and a
sprig of parsley with pepper and salt;
When the soup is we'll cooked dip out all
the broth into the tureen over small
squares of toasted bread, leaving the soft
beans in the kettle. Add one pint of hot
milk and butter the size of hens egg,
and when this boils, two tablespoonful:
of flour wet with cold water; season to
taste and you have a nice dish of stewed
beans. Serve the beef and pork with
baked potatoes, and you have four courses
at which hungry man will not grumble

OUTSIDE ROWS IN ORCHARDS.

The value of sunlight and of free cir
culation of arr is fully recognized by ex-
perienccd orchardists, and trees are now
planted farther apart than ever before.
The fact that 'outside rows" in Or
chards bear the finest fruit has been
seized upon in certain sections, and
planters set their trees so that every row
shall be an "outside row." This is done
by planting two rows moderately close
together, and then leaving space of
about sixty feet between the second and
third rows-;n case of the apple orchard.
Thus we have alternately a wide space
and narrow one. This large amount
of swaste space" may be utilized, while
the the apple trees are Young, by grow
ing dwarf pears, or small fruits, or both,
and thus yield a continual revenue

nations, roses, begonias, bouvardias,
etc., in fine, stocky growth, without a
bud or flower thereon.
The Chinese primroses stand at the
head of the list of best winter plants.
They come in many colors and shades,
and the new kinds show very pleasing
stripes, and, being dwarf in habit, may
be placed in front of taller plants, which
is really their best place, though fine
specimens develop in shady places.
Callas are indispensable in the winter
house garden. To secure best results,
the earth should be literally supplied
with fertilizer, in the shape of wcll-rotted
COW manure and well-draincd pots-so
that the liberal supplies of hot water
given may readily pass off-should be
provided.
Begonias seem specially fitted in some
of the more rugged, strong-growinS
kinds to withstand, without complaint,
the heat and dust of the ordinary living
room. Give them light, porous soil,
and the top shelf. Rely mostly on the
varieties recommended in the florists
catalogues as being the best winter
bloomers.
Fuchsias are sometimes satisfactory,
but are not always reliable in the novice's
hands. If they are tried, encourage
them by frequent applications of manure,
water during their best growth, and
keep the leaves free from red spiders.
Cyclamens. In these plants you have
something delicate, always choice and
pleasing, both in the beautiful foliage
and flowers and in perfume, though it is
not strong. The most common color Is
white, with a rosy tip, but new shadings
and stripes are being produced constant
ly. This plant should have considerable
leaf-mold in the soil, and little or no
manure. Place the crown of the bulb
above the soil, and remove, by means OF
a wet sponge or cloth, the dust as it ac,
cumulates on the leaves. This plant
cannot fail to give satisfaction.-Amerl'

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

One quart of siftcd flour, we'll heaped,
is one pound.
Two tablespoons of powdered sugar OF
-four weigh one ounce.
A little pounded ice laid on the back
Of the neck will allay nausea.
1t is recommended to freshen salt fish
by soaking them in sour milk.
Battle tired eyes in hot water two OF
three times day; it will rest them.
A frmer or more delicate grain is Sc
cured in cake by stirring the cake only
in one direction.
A wine glass of strong borax water in
a pint of raw starch will make collars
and cuffs stiff and glossy.
The white cinder that you can reduce
to dust with the finger is what I clean
my spoons and polish my tinware with.
Apples will not freeze if covered with
linen cloth, nor pie or custard burn II
in the oven with dish of water.
To prevent the smell of garbage per-
meatine the house while boiling place on
the stove dish containing vinegar.
To gargle q sore throat take of pare
goric one teaspoonful, of glycerine two
teaspoonfuls, of lime water one table,
spoonful.
Corks may be made air and water tight
by keeping them for five minutes under
melted paraffine. They must be kept
down with wire screen.
If you wish to keep sharp knife don't
put it in hot grease. Stir your potatoes
while frying or turn meat with fork OF
an old case knife kept on purpose.
That ugly iron rust will depart when
treated with cream Of tartar. Tic little

boil few moments in clear water.
Lemon Juice will whiten frosting, cram
berry or strawberry will color it pink,
and the grated rind of an orange strained

To dispose of dry bread, slice it, tax

ened and favored, then in well-beaten
egg; fry it,and strew sugar over it as you
take it from the pan.
Powdered borax seems to be more
thoroughly endorsed than any other
remedy for croton-bugs and cockroaches.
But it will not be OF much use unless
used plentifully and persistently.

Palm otis the product of the fruit of

10 about thirty feet high, and resembles
chesnut. The oil is extracted by boiling
the pulpy and fbrous mass around the
central nut, and is used in making soap
and candles. The fruits are harvested in
April. The oil of Arachis, which is
equally important in commerce, is from
the nut of the Arachls peanuO, thou

August. Oils of inferior quality are
made into soap. Another underground
nut affords white, hard butter, richer
than butter from the cow, which has the
further advantage of remaining fresh for
a whole year without being salted. Only
limited quantities of this product have as

Where Rich Embroideries Are Made.

Beyond the high peaks of the Taurus
Mountains are the wide plateaus of Tur-
KEY and Asia Minor, and from the inte-
rior of this region these exquisitely COL
ored materials are brought in immense
bales on the backs of camels to Different
seaports, where they arc shipped to other
countries. This journey over the mount
aims is through the old Roman roads,
made before the time of Christ, and as
they are often covered with deep snow,it
sometimes takes thirty or forty days to
make the trip.
The majority Of the rich Oriental en-
broidery seen in this country is made by
the peasants, who wear it on their heads
or around the waist with total ignorance
of its immense value. Each family has
loom and a separate, distinct device,
which they invariably use in their work,
so to those who understand and know
one another it is always possible to deter
mine from what household each article
comes. For instance, some family may
take heavy open work as an embroidery
device, another separate figures, while still
another vase filled with gorgeous flow
ers or fine close figures worked together
into every conceivable shape; and, what
wonderful work it is! On the cheapest
of white cloth is woven with marvellous
exactitude a scroll within scroll of pale
pinks and greens; mass of single de-
signs thrown together with quantities OF
gold work; forms of geometrical figures
and bits of flowers interspersed with
queer Arabic characters il the soft rose
du Barri pink; golden yellow and green
hues, together with delicate tints OF
pearly white and cream, each one con-
veying some subtle meaning, some tender
poem or love thought breathing ell the
fiery passion of southern cline. These
people, it must be remembered, rails;
their own silkworms and manufacture
their own wonderful dyes, which remain
perfect for centuries; in fact the older
they are the more beautiful tones and
shades they take on, whereas the dyes
imported at the present time are m1c-
cheaper, poorer in quality and retain
their original color but short space OF
time. Paris, as we are aware, isthe cen
ter of artistic talent, but the modern en-
broideries which the Parisians utilize
and import are much inferior to the
Eastern dyes. One secret of this bril-
liant Oriental coloring, whi-h surpasses
everything in the modern line: is, the air
and general climate peculiar to- that re-
oion
