The countless minor offices of the

ISOLATION. With them offlce-getting (of
keeping in office) is an industry, and
the fees and emoluments are accepted
as payment for partisan services rather
than for the exercise OF official func-
tions. The influence which the office
holders WELD is altogether out of pro-
portion to their numbers or to their in
tellectual attachments. But they pos
sess this advantage over all other
ciasses-they are unified and organized.
They make the management of pri-

business of their lives, and acquire
skill and experience in ''wire-pulling"

is in the hands of these men. The peo-

The First sewing Machine.

Elias Howe, the inventor of the sew.
ing machine, was born in Spencer, Mass,
July Q, 1919. His father was a farmer
and miller, and Elias remained at home,
assisting him, till 1885, when he went
to Lowell and found employment in a
factory, afterward working in machine
shop at Boston. There he developed
his idea of the sewing machine. His
first machine was completed in May,
1s45, and he secured his patent Septem-
Der 10, 1916. He made four machines,
but received so little encouragement for
them that he went to England, where
he struggled with poverty for two years.
He then returned to America, to find
that others had appropriated his idea.
For more than five years he was con-
stantly engaged in lawsuits, but finally
secured his right to priority of inven-
ton, and other manufacturers of sewing
machines paid him royalty on their
patent He now amassed large for
tune, estimated s2,O00,00O from the
sale of his machines. He died in Brook
lyn, New York, october 5. 1867. Boston

wEBSTER'S ELOouENCE.
what is Said of the Great Statesman In q
Recent Book.

what Is Said of the Great Statesman in .
Recent Book.
Mr.. Dyer's sketch of Webster, is, per-
haps, the most picturesque and powerful
portion Of Great Senator'S" II begins
as follows:
The last and greatest parsonage of
whom have to treat is Daniel Webster.
] have written of three great men-three
very great men-Calhoun, Benton and
Clay, but great as they were, Daniel
Webster, in downright intellectual
power and main strength of mentality.
was equal to all three of them taken to-
gether.
The reader is doubtless familiar with
the fact that in Webster's day, he was
called ''the godlike Daniel" The APP
pellation fitted him. He was godlike in
appearance and power. He was not so
tall as Clay, out he was much larger and
more massive in every way. He had
broad shoulders,a deep chest and large
frame. / have seen men taller, but |
never saw any one who looked SO large
and grand as he did when he was aroused
in debate.
Webster's head was phenomenal in
size and beauty of outline and grandeur
of appearance. IL used to be said of him
that he had brain enough to make sew
eral good heads. His brow was so pro-
tuberant that his eyes, though unusually
large, seemed sunken, and were hkened
unto great burning lamps set deep in
the mouths of caves But large as his
perceptive organs were, his refectives
bulged out over them. His casualty
was massively developed, and his organ
of comparison, which was larger even
than his casualty, protruded as though
nature, in building Webster's head, hav-
ing distributed her superintendent mate
rial as well as she could, found at the last
that she had such lot of brain matter
left on hand, that, in despair she dabbed
it on in front and let it take its chance
of sticking; and it stuck. The head, the
face, the whole presence of Webster,
was kingly, majestic, godlike.
And when one heard him speak, he
found that Webster's voice was just ex-
actly the kind of voice that such look
ing man ought to have. 1t was deep,
resonant mellow, sweet, with thunder
roll in it which, when let out to its full
power was awe inspiring. In ordinary
speech its magnificent bass notes rolled
forth like the rich tones of adeep-voiced
organ; but when he chose to do so he
could elevate his voice in ringing, clari-
on, tenor tones of thrilling power. He
also had faculty of magnifying word
into such prodigious volume and force
that it would drop from his lips as
great bowlder might drop through the
ceiling, and jar the senate chamber like
clap of thunder.

SWINE COUGH.
Some Valuable Suggestions From Stock
Raiser ON This Subject.


Some Valuable Suggestions From a Stock
Raiser ON This Subject.
Cough is the most common ailment
among swine and one the least general
ly understood. Many hog-raisers be-
lieve it is sure forerunner of cholera,
when il is related TO that disease but
incidentally. Different forms of dis
ease may cause cough, but the prevail
ing cause is cold contracted the same as
in the human family. 1t is very COM
mon for early pigs to catch cold from
wading in water and mud. II they
come out of warm bed and have to go
into mud and water at once they are
nearly sure to contract a cold, the
temperature of the body is changed SO
suddenly. Another theory is that
sleeping in dust causes cough. This is
not necessarily the case, for many pigs
and hogs sleep in dust without cough
ing. In summer pigs contract cold from
excessive heat just the same as we do
ourselves. Indeed, the same causes
which produce cough in the human
family will do so in swine, for the vital
organs and general circulation are
similar. Hence they need only to be
subjected to similar influences to show
similar results. Pigs contract cold and
cough more readily than larger hogs;
and likewise children are more liable to
colds than adults. Sudden changes in
the atmosphere, chilly winds, and cold
rains will produce cold and cough.
Change in sleeping places-even from
very poor to very good bedding-is an
other cause. During the war soldiers
returning on furlough from the tented
field and sleeping in feather beds con-
tracted the severest colds. If swine
sleep too warm cough is sure to follow
as result The extreme heat of sum-
mer is another cause.
Breeders often get letters from Gus
toners stating that pigs shipped to
them have cough. This is often true,
although the pigs did not cough before
shipment The changes and exposure
during transit cause cold and cough.
1t is quite frequent when pigs are
shipped in winter that they are trans
ferred from hot car to express wagons,
hauled to offices, and then set out on
sidewalks for hours to await the arrival
of customers. Then the pigs are put
into open wagons with no covering for
crates and hauled for miles. Is it any
wonder they cough? Or rather, is it
not wonder that they live?
In most cases nature throws off
colds; but when colds continue have
used the following remedy with graft
flying results: Pulverized licorice, /
pound; elecampane, l pound; black
anthony, q pound sulphur, =
pound; pulverized resin, Il pound;
copperas a pound; asafedita, u
pound. For pig one teaspoonful in
slop twice day. Pine tar in trough is
also valuable addition. This formula
is the result of my study of pigs cough
ing and the uses of common medicines.
1t has proved effectual in every case for
me as well as with several other breed
ers who have tried IT'D. L. Thomas,

CRATE FOR SHIPPING PIGS.
shippers Can Get Hint from This.

shippers Can Get Hint from This.
The man who receives stock in crates
does not care to pay express on useless
lumber, yet he wishes to have the crate
trong enough to hold his purchase safe
AZ until it reaches his farm. Some
woods, like poplar, Eastwood and elm,
are both light and tough and can be
used thinner than pine, but if pine is
thoroughly dried and planned on both
sides a neat light crate can be made
which will hold pigs or sheep securely.
A crate for a two-hundred-pound pig
must be four feet long, thirteen or four
teen inches wide and from twenty-four
to twenty-eight inches nigh.
When sent by freight it should have
a feeding-box in front, and be nailed to-
gether with wire nails properly clinched.

Idle wishes are those which begin and
end with themselves They lead to no
effort, they develop no energy, they in
augurate no plan OF action. 1t would
probably assonish most of us could we
realize truly how many of our wishes
were of this character. Sometimes they
relate to past which is irrevocable.
Men wish that they had inherited prop
erty, or healthier constitution, or bet

brought up under better auspices, or
trained with more care or wisdom-that
they had made different decisions, or
pursued different courses, or been "A

The handle by which it is manipulated
should of course be somewhat longer
than the projection at the opposite end,
which is inserted in an auger hole to
hold it in place. The roller should be
carefully turned and then planed in to
a six or eight-sided figure. This will
be the most difficult part to make, and
had best be intrusted to the local cab
met or wagon maker. This table must
have boards about three inches high at
the edges and slope in such way that
the buttermilk will drain off. 1t must
incline from the person using it. AT the
narrow end of the table, where the but
termilki is to escape, few small grooves
should be cut with gouge.

These lines Of Pinckney bring before the
mental vision a woman of surprising beau
ty, challenging admiration and homage.
This sentimental tribute was, no doubt,
worthily bestowed by the poet, but it is
prosaic fact that large numbers of our fair
country women are deficient in personal
charms, because they do not try and con-
quer the disorders peculiar to their sex, and
from which so many of them suffer mar
tyrdom. As it is the ambition of every
woman TO look her best, let the afflicted
ones use DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
and thus recover their health, without
which there can be no beauty.

KITCHEN CABINETS.
Some New Concelts I'm Useful Household
Furnishings.

Furnishings.
We hear much of the parlor cabinets,
costly affairs of ebony, on the carved,
brass finished shelves of which stand
costly bric-a-brac, and we hear still
more of the dining-room cabinet with
its beveled-glass panels, through which
CLEAN, in fascinating splendor, choice
specimens of cut-glass and rare china.
The kitchen cabinet, now, If somewhat
more prosaic, is somewhat newer,
and l beg leave 70 tell of such a
one that was shown me few days since
in practical young housewives kitch-
en-. For the nucleus of this ingenious
device my clever little friend secured a
common long deal table, with a center
drawer running its length and a smaller
one at either end. These were conven-
lent receptacles for such comparatively
small necessities as securing materi-
ais, powder, soap, brushes, cham
dis, cloths, knife-sharpener, can
opener, cake-cutters, rolling-pin, and
the hundred and one details
required for daily Sc. Over this
table was fastened with brass nails
a stout, small patterned oilcloth. Then
was a carpenter sent for and directed
to add. out of ordinary pine wood, a
series of three broad shelves, marking
off compartments in the first one for the
knives, forks and spoons for cooking
purposes and the various other imple-
ments that should always be handy,
on the upper shelves are ranged the
meat vegetable and salad dishes
Closed doors disclose a small closet on
one side in which is to rest recipe
book, formula that no housekeeper,
however experienced, should disdain
to consult The other side of the
cabinet, which is adjacent to the
kitchen sink, is furnished with stout
hooks, upon which to hang the con-
venient gridiron, jelly bags and strainers
that need TO be well filtered. Is not the
kitchen cabinet almost as interesting as
the one resplendent with choice china,
and glass in the dining room beyond?

The work of butter making is not so
easy, says Farm and Home, that dairy
men can afford to do without the best
appliances. Where only small guam
tity of butter is made, however, it may
not pay to invest in an expensive butter
worker The one shown in our engrav-
ing, if we'll made at home. will do very
effective work, and do it much more
rapidly than the hands. Hard maple or
beech or some other clOse-grained and
tasteless wood will be needed for the
table top and roller. The table on
which the butter is to be worked is al
most in the shape of a triangle, the
roller being hung at the narrow end.
The roller should be made something
the shape of the housewives rolling pin.
