Go Slow, Girls.

Scarcely day passes without its newspaper story of some young wo- that she thought she could not live without him; so she married him in haste and afterwards learned that he was an cx-cOnyict, or brute, or al- ready had wife or two from whom he had separated without the formal ity of a legal divorce.
 In such cases the blame Is laid up- on the man, who generally deserves more abuse than he gets. But girls, look at the matter seriously a few minutes and see if the trouble might not have been avoided if you had not been Tn too much of q hurry.
 Marriage means partnership for life; decrees of divorce are merely exceptions that prove the rule. Would any man enter into business partnership with as little knowledge of the other party as you seem satis- fled with? Well, no-not unless he were a sweet souled lunatic.
 Talk is cheap, girls; it can be made to order as fast as tongues can run, especially when there is pret- ty face to inspire it and two willing ears to receive it.
 Don't fear that some other girl will get the fellow unless you secure him at once. A fish that any one can catch isn't worth throwing a line for. Play him to find out whether he amounts to anything. If he be- comes impatient and dashes away, why, follow Dogberry and thank God that you're rid of knave. -GEy

Patent medicines differ One has reasonablencsS, an other has not. One has repu- tation another has not. One has confidence, born of sue cess - another has only "hopes." <"
 Don't take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not.
 Let the years of uninter- rupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
 on the side of the comparison they belong.
 And there isn't a state or territory, no nor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, but have men and women in them that're happier be- cause of their discovery and their effects.
 Think of this in health. Think of it in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your money back as they do if they do not benefit Or cure you.

Onions For Diphtheria.

"Why don't they use onions. For goodness sake, why don't they use onions! Where do they live. l will go up there today and tell them to use onions :" Such were the ex- clamations of our mother, says the editor of the Danvers Mirror, when we reported one day at dinner that a child of MT. G. w. Dudley was dead and the whole family, including him self, alarmingly sick with diphtheria. Mother was moved to these earnest and interesting expressions by q firm belief that she knows of several lives saved by tie use of onions in diph- theria, one of them being our sister. In these cases raw onions were plac- ed in a bandage and beaten into a pulp, the cloths containing onions, juice and all, being then bound about the throat and well up over the ears. Renewals may be made as often as the mass becomes dry. In the cases noticed the result was almost magi- cal, deadly pam yielding in short time to sleepy comfort. The editor adds the wish that thls remedy might have wide enough trial to fully test its usefulness. Scientific American.

FACTS IN A NUTSHELL. '

Facts are stubborn things, if they are in nutshell. but when one acre in oceans will produce. at only one cent per pound, ten times as much profit as one acre will in cotton at 10 cents per pound, facts are all out of a nutshell. When ten acres in pc cans, selling at only 10 cents per pound will sum more net profit than can be had from ,O00 acres in cot ton. selling at 10 cents per pound, l here is another fact worth money to the man who will have the good sense to profit by it.
 Another fact: When pecan grove of only fifty acres in the Tex as thin shell pecan, ten years from the planting will produce more in- come than can be made by bank with $500, ,000 capital earning 10 per cent. when it will more than double that.at fifteens years and continue for generations, is it not worth investi- gating:
 Another fact: When a man by the expenditure of only $50 can plant pecan grove of fifty acres, which, at ten years of age will earn $500 an acre, increasing to more than double that when , years old earning fortunes for his children, his children s children, their children s children to the twelfth generation, is a fact worth your earnest attention. If, when you fully investigate it, you find that for you there is no merit in it, it cost you nothing to look into.
 When California has lands in oranges, almonds, walnuts, prunes, olives, raisins and grapes, which, fif- teen years ago, were dull sale at SIC per acre are now paying good 10 per cent. interest on such lands at S4 ,000 to S5, 900 per acre, it means something worth looking into. When, all through the United States we have land just as good, not now worth S5 per acre, which, in ten years, could equal the best fruit lands of California, it means some thing worthy of trial in planting pe- cans, which earn double that.
 Another fact: The Southern cot ton States should be the orchards of the United States. Some portions of them can grow all the fruits and nuts which have made such fortunes for Cahfornians during the past year. Being a thousand miles nearer mar kets than California; supply means q big profit for the South. Twenty five years of Cotton growing has left the South very poor; twenty-five years of growing fruit and nuts will make her very wealthy.
 Lots of facts in a nutshell; but nothing swecter, nothing earns the money faster than the Texas thin shell pecan, which has a shell easily crushed, and furnishes food for 8 l

THE cry of the navy is for seamen-
1t has been estimated that not less than
$500 more men will be needed to fill
the crews of all the ships of war now
fit for service. A very large portion
of the crews of the navy are foreign
ers. in whom little dependence could
be placed in case of foreign war.
But the only way in which American
seamen could be secured would be to
abolish the aristocratic system that
has grown up in the navy, and throw
all ranks, from midshipman to admiral.
open to promotion for merit Until
this shall have been done the navy will
continue to be manned by foreigners;
and with all its splendid and costly
ships it will be, so far as its seamer
are concerned, American only in name.

Perhaps the most extraordinary APP
plication OF photography that IL is pos
sible to mention Is found in tho multi

almost superseded by photo.cngraving

Gently IL was thought impossible to re-
produce in this way anything but a

even a painting can be copied of hand
in the shape Of a cut by the simple de-
vice OF placing gauze screen between
the picture and the camera, tho net
work of the gauze breaking up tho
solid lights and shadows so rs to max o
them reproducible A much better
way Of accomplishing this, however,
has been lately invented, by cutting
cross lines on the glass negative itself.
Thus you find in the newspapers of to-
day most beautiful engravings OF actual
works OF art. done within few hours,
which would have taken the hand
workman not long ago months TO turn
out. Art photography is making rapid
strides ahead.
