d" Make Hens Lay.o

Such is the caption of an advertisement
that appears not only in the local, but many
leading agricultural, papers and which sug-
gests the propriety of "A few thoughts upon
the subject. 1t may be laid down as a rule
that most farmers indulge in raising poultry
not for the pleasure it gives, bur for the
profit that is realized from the same which
must come from young chicks or eggs and
since the chicks must come from the eggs,
the real profit may be traced to egg produc-
ton, so the advice given in these words is
of vital consequence to the ambitious farmer.
" The advertisement referred to recon-
mends Sherdans Condition Powder to
make hens lay and so do we" says Mr..
Hunter, poultry editor of the NeiC Engiand
Fdrnier. " a hen to lay prOlitically must be
in perfect health, must be in condition, and
here is based the true theory of the value of
Sheridan's Condition Powder-it promotes
the general good health of the fowl, gently
quickening digestion, and stimulating all
the various organs of the body as well as the
ovaries, to perform their functions" AT
this season of the year the use of Sheridan
Condition Powder is very valuable for
moulting hens and young pullets. BY its use
now they will get to laying earlier when the
price for eggs is very high. Any person buy
ing and using Sheridan's Condition Powder
now, will get their hens in good laying condi-
ton before cold weather, and stand "A good

The Charming Queen of Roumania.

OF late years the Queen of Rouma-
MIA has become well known and has
been much written about in America
as well as in Europe. Under the name
of Carmen Sylvia she has published
poems and novels, meditations and
dramatic works, not only in German,
her native tongue, but also in French.
Last year she was crowned by the
French Academy, and Pierre Lott, the
author of " Pecheurs d'Islande," has
just dedicated his last book to her.
But some twenty years ago when she
visited my studio and told me, during
the long sittings, all about her home
life. Carl" her husband, her lovely
little baby girl-so soon, alas to be
taken from her-her enthusiasm about
her adopted country and her desire to
do everything humanity possible for the
happiness of her people. The princess
was scarcely known beyond her own
circle and the privileged few who were
admitted to her charming presence.
She was born Princess of Neuwied, a
very small and modest principally on
the Rhine, and she was brought up by
her admirable mother as simply as any
country girl of her neighbOrhood. Her
education, however, was most COM
plete; she speaks English and French
as perfectly as her own tongue, and
\ with no vestige of accent She is an

No Fears for New England's Decay.


The prosperity of New England as a
whole may be measured by its appro-
priations, derived from self-imposed
taxation and expended for education.
The report of the commissioner of edu-
cation for 1888 shows that the amount
raised by taxes in New England, in
proportion to the number of children
of the school-going age, was far in eX-
cess of the amount raised in like man
ner in any other section. The ratio in
Massachusetts was to lhal in the whole
country, including Massachusetts, as
2,342 to 500. Again, by The census of
1885 the agricultural products of Mas
sachusetts were valued at SAT 900 900,
emitting the excuses. as against S37,
600, 1000 in 1875 and S32 100000 in 1865.
From 1875 to 1885 there was an in
crease of about forty per cent in the
quantity of products and decrease of
about thirty per cent in values. In
1865 there were $4,000 persons en-
ployed in agriculture, in 1876 there
were 10000, and in 1855 there were
1000, of whom more than one-half
were prOprietOrs. The wage-earners
on the land received something more
lHdu IO,UUU,UUU III IuG wear 1000. L ne
business of railways and the profits of
the business indicate the condition of
the people by whose industry the roads
are maintained. In the year 1888 the
New England group of railways paid
average dividends of 81 per cent as
against 3,45 per cent paid by the mid
die group, the most prosperous of the
six other groups into which the country
has been divided; and this in presence
Of the fact that the toll per mile on pas
senger travel is less in New England
than in any other great section. An
other evidence of prosperity is found
in the fact that the debts of the New
England States were reduced by pay
ment from SIG $40, 1873. 30 in 1850 TO
81 ,2S7 ,6SS 36 in 1890, and that three of
the six states are free of debt. This
array of facts may show, or may tend
to show, that New England is not in a
condition to eXtort, or to expect, or
even to accept, the sympathy of any
community or person, whether near or
remote. There is not in the known
facts any ground for the statement that
the era of her prosperity has closed
nor is there any ground for the appre-
hension that her prosperity is menaced
by perils from which other sections of
the country are exempt George s.

THE newspapers are trying to find
the man who spent the most of his DAYS
in rebel prisons during the late war.
So far as heard from yet, E. w. Ware
Of Bangor, Mich, is ahead, he having
suffered six hundred days in Charles
ton, Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh
Goldsboro and Greensboro prisons.
JAMES MossEY, a veteran of the war,
died few days ago at Nebraska City,
Neb. a few years ago he applied for
a pension on account of wound he re-
ceived at Fort Donelson. His appli-
cation was rejected, as no mark or
wound could be found on his head,
where he claimed to have been shot.
After his death post norton eXamina-
ton was held, and a large buckshot
was found imbedded in his brain.
The Albany Argus pertinently says
" Not day passes at headquarters
without the assistant Acknowledgement
receiving one and sometimes more let
tiers from the widow or children of some
dead cOmrade asking for information as
to what company or regiment the loved
one served in. If the comrades now
living would only tell their families
something of their army life-giving
company and regiment, together with
the names of comrades who served with
them-they would undoubtedly save
those whom they leave behind many a
weary search after some who could
help thea in the way of evidence should
they ever apply for pension"

The Darkey Of the Rice Fields.

1t is of the rice-felds of the tide
lands of the Georgia and Carolina coast
and Of the adjacent islands, that we
would speak. To those who have never
been among them, these rice planta-
tons would afford much that is both
novel and interesting. This evergreen
region, where the plaintive notes of the
whippoorwill and song of the sweet
throated mocking- bird float up through
the moss-covered trees; and negroes,
fever and ague, rice-birds and alligators
abound, would indeed seem to be a
new world to our Northern brethren,
and the picturesque effects charm the
eye of the stranger artist. The rice
field darkey is himself distinct type,
totally different in both aspect and
dialect from the negroes of the interior !;
and a not uninteresting sight is the
force, as with song and shout they take
their way along the embankment to the
rice-6cld. Their ancestors for gener-
ations back, or, as they would tell you,
mi farrar an mi granfarrar," have
lived and labored in these malarial re-
gions, and they accept chill and fever
and other infelicities incident to these
localities as unavoidable evils, plod-
ding on with no higher aim nor hope,
careless for the future, and not over
anxious for the present. The cost of
living is small, as not many nor very
warm garments are considered neces-
sary, and the rice-feld darkey's ideas
of wardrobe are extremely limited,
from both blissful ignorance and choice
Fish and game are plentiful, and in
these regions heavy diet is to be in

A WONDER WORKER. Mr.. Frank
Huffman, a young man of Burlington
Ohio, states that he had been under
the care of two prominent physicians,
and had used their treatment until he
was not able TO get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption
and incurable. He was persuaded to
try DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found, be-
fore he had used half Of dollar bottle,
that he was much better; he continued

The horse died recently on Mr..
Payne's farm, near Fort Miller Bridge,
Washington county, n. Y. His name
was Charlie. His greatest exploit was
bearing news of the surrender of At
lanta from General Slocum to General
Sherman Immediately after the capitu-
lation of that confederate stronghold.
Old Charlie was useful after he had
attained his thirtieth year, but of late
had been left to wander about nlbbling
grass at his own sweet will. OF his
last hours local paper said: " For the
last two years Charlie lived as pen
sioner, roaming over and grazing upon
the fields he had assisted in saving
from the enemy's grasp. Without a
moment of sickness or pang of pain
he gave one last look upon the scene,
closed the eyes that had looked upon
the battle and upon the peaceful hill
sides, and fell into an eternal sleep"

HEART FAILURE.
Weak Heart, shattered Nerves and Merry
Gus Prostitution the Trouble
with Thousands.

FAILURE OR WEAKNESS OF HEART ACTION
is becoming very prevalent disease. 1t is
a most serious and dangerous condition to be
in and gradually runs into PALPITAT1oN,
sPAsMs OR NEURALGIA OF THE HEART, TOTAL
EXHAUSTION OF NERVE POWER OR DEATH.
At the first sign of these dread diseases
every one should IMMEDIATELY SEEK A CURE,
and not wait until the fatal symptoms point
Enthusiastically to DEATH
The first symptoms may be cery digM and
apparently tricidl BUT DO NOT FAIL TO
HEED THEM IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE. They
often begin with nervousness and iCedkbeSS,
a trembling or faint feeling, with tendency to
giddiReSS. AS the disease increases these
symptoms grow in intensity and will be
accompanied by dizziness, Slcimn,iRg of the
head, futtering or palpudtion in the left side
of the chest, sbortness of BREATH a Sinking
sensation, with coidncSS of the feet and legs
There is often also a .teeling of apprehension
or anriety, as of impending danger, and a
tendency to drowSineSS during the day and
SleepieSSneSS at night.

may bring on the attacks at any time. Sud
den rising from "A STOPPING or reclining posi-
ton will cause DIZZINESS, and rapidly climb
