Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo-, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: my food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
Of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and is work.

A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH.

Twas ut tho Fishing Banks last year
He dropped his hook and line
Tho while he smiled from ear to car
Into the tossing brine.
In patience In the boat he sat,
His heart was free and light;
he smiled on meath his great straw hat,
While waiting for bite.
But still he not nibble had.
And weary grew his look,
And then, to make him feel more sad,
The bait got of his hook.
he fshed until the twilight's wing
Was dipping In the sea
And still no porgie graced his string,
All day no bite had he.
About IN ancient trick he thought
While winding up his line.
And later in the market bought
A string OF fishes fine.
He grinned while rapture filled his cup
With wild, triumphant thrills,
While tho slow night train painted up
The green New Jersey hills.
''Where did you catch them." with shout
Some friends inQuired-then he:
"'Twas at the Fishing Banks far out
Upon the sounding sea-"
T. market trick then raised roar
All othersounds above;
The laugher laughed till almost sore
To note the features Of
The sad sea fisher when he found
He'd made the sad mistake
OF buying fishes that abound
In mountain stream and lake.

An old servant who belongs to an

THE VALUE OF WHEY.

Excellent Food.
Whether or not whey is worth any,
thing as stock-food is question often
asked. When fed sour, there can be
but one answer, it is worthless or
worse. With sweet whey it is quite
different matter. Prof. Henry, of the
Wisconsin experiment station, has
published in bulletin No. - an interest
ing record, of which the following is a
brief summary:
Four trials were conducted at this
station during the fall and winter of
1S90-91, for the purpose of ascertaining
the value of sweet whey for pig feed
ing. The results of these trials show:
l. We were not successful in main
tanning pigs on whey alone.
2. Pigs fed on corn meal and shorts
with water required $50 pounds of the
mixture for 100 pounds of the gain.
3. When whey was added to the corn
meal and shorts mixture, it produced
a marked saving in the amount of grain
required for good gains. This was
true for mixtures varying from two
pounds of whey to one of grain, up to
ten pounds of whey to one of grain.
4. 1t was found when using whey as
partial substitute for grain, that 76O
pounds of whey effected a saving of 100
pounds of corn meal and shorts mix
ture.
$. Using these figures, if corn meal
and shorts are valued at $12 per ton,
then whey is worth eight cents per
hundred pounds; at SIS per ton for corn
meal and shorts, whey would be worth
ten cents per hundred weight.
6. Shorts, pea meal and oil meal, or
like feeds should be mixed with whey
for growing animals. Some corn may
be fed at all times, the proportion in
creasing as the animal approaches ma
turitY.

How to Begin Sheep Raising.

While very large crops of sheep are
handled successfully and with great
profit by such Us understand the busi-
ness, the beginner should be content
to experiment at first with only a few.
and to grow up with the business as
he becomes familiar with its details.
With q large flock, should disease get
among them, the novice would be
wholly at loss as to what course to
pursue, and would probably lose most
of his flock, and thus become dis.
heartened with the business. Sheep
require the constant care of some one
familiar with their needs and habits il
they are to be kept in large numbers.
But when cared for intelligently they
are probably more profitable than enJ
other live stoclk.-N, w. Farmer.

A shoe was tho subject selected by her,

lines or words was given them.
Most of the boys wrote-and erased,
during the whole time allotted, but the
teacher noticed ono fellow who sat idle

Of expiring. As the scholars fled out
abe said to him, "Brown, did you finish
your abstract?"

ON THE BRlNY MAIN,
Some Curiosities Hidden in tho Great So
Seas and Oceans.

Some Cur1osietes Hidden In tho Great So
Seas and Oceans.
The oceans and seas are the great
reservoirs into which run all the rivers
of the world. 1t is the cistern which
finally catches all the rain that falls not
only upon its own surface but upon the
surface of the land as well. All of this
water is removed again by evaporation
as fast as it is supplied, it being estim-
ated that every year layer of the en-
tire water surface of the globe over
fourteen feet thick is taken up into the
clouds to fall again as rain. This vapor
is fresh, of course, and if all the water
of the oceans could be removed in the
same way and none of it returned it is
calculated that there would be a layer
of pure salt two hundred and thirty feet
thick left in the bottom of these great
reservoirs This is upon the supposition
that each three feet of ocean water con-
tains one inch of salt and that the aver
age depth of all oceans is three miles.
At a depth of three thousand five
hundred feet the temperature is uni
form, varying but trifle between the
poles and equator. In many of the deep
bays on the coast of Norway and
other arctic countries the water often
begins to freeze at the bottom before it
does at the surface. At the same
depth, three thousand five hundred feet,
waves are not felt. Waves do not travel
that is, water does not move forward,
although it seems to do so; it remains
stationary. 1t is the rising and falling
that moves on.
The pressure of water increases rapid
~ with the depth. At distance of one
mile the pressure is reckoned as about
one ton to the square inch, or more
than one hundred and thirty three times
the pressure of the atmosphere.
To get correct soundings in deep
water is difficult. The best invention
for that purpose is shot weighing
about thirty pounds, which carries down
line. Through this shot or "sinker''
hole is drilled, and through this hole
is passed a rod of iron which moves cas-
lily back and forth. At the end of the
bar cup is dug out, the inside being
coated with lard. The bar is made fast
to the line, a sling holding the shot in
position. When the bar, which extends
below the shot, touches the bottom the
sling unhooks and the shot slides down
ward and drives the lard-coated cup into
the sand at the bottom. In that way
the character of the oceans floor is de-
termined.
If the surface of the Atlantic were
lowered six thousand, five hundred and
sixty-four feet it would be reduced to
exactly half it's present width. If the
Mediterranean were lowered six hun
dred and sixty feet Italy would be joined
TO Africa and three separate seas would
remain.-Chicago News

Forcible but Truthful.

In 1878, MIR. Ingalls,, who voted for
the Bland bill, in discussing it gave
eIpressin to the following forcible
and truthful words in regard to the
gold basis fraud:
mo people in great emergency
ever found faithful ally in gold.
1t is the most cowardly and treacher-
Gus OF all metals. 1t makes no treaty
it does not break. 1t has no friend
it does not sooner or later betray.
Armies and nations are not main
tanned by gold. In times of panic
and calamity, shipwreck and disaster,
it becomes the agent and minister of
ruin. No nation ever fought a great
war by the aid Of gold. On the con-
trary, in the crisis of the greatest
peril, it becomes an enemy more po-
tent than the foe in the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has
been secured, gold reappears and
claims the fruit of victory. In
our own civil war it is doubtful if the
gold of New York and London did
not work us greater injury than the
powder and lead and iron of the reb-
els. 1t was the most invinciole foe
Of the public credit. Gold paid no
sailor. 1t was worth most when our
fortunes were the lowest. Every de-
feat gave it Increased value. 1t was
in open alliance with our enemies the
world over, and all it's energies were
evoked for our destruction. But as
usual, whom danger had been averted
and victory secured, gold swaggers
to the front and secured the suprem-
acy."
