The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustra-
ted ey living examples, which in many
cases might easily be done; If some
scholar, who had just contracted cold
Was brought before the school, so that
all could hear the dry, loud cough and
know its Significance; see the thin
white coating on the tongue and later
as the cold developed, see the profuse
Watery expectOratiOn and thin watery
discharge from the nose, not one of
them would ever forget what the first
symptoms of cold were. The scholar
should then be given Chamberlain's
cough remedy freely, that all might see
that even severe cold could be cured
in one or two days, or at least greatly
mitigated, when properly treated as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedyls famous for it's cures
OF colds, coughs and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the

The Presidents Kite.

John w. Foster tells the story Of
the Presidents attempt at kite.fying
at Cape May Point. The President
and Foster went over to Cape May to
buy a kite. Mr.. Harrison selected a
fine large one and carried it home
himself. He attached a great quantity
of cord to it and then set to work to
make it mount on the fresh sea
breezes. To him this was an expert
ment in an untried region-like
Brice's rainbow chasing. He had
Foster hold the kite, while he gave it
length of line and ran co give it q
start. He started off manfully, but lie
had gone only few yards when he
found that the kite was ploughing the
sand. Once again he tried and the
kite futtered and darted about few
yards over his head and then shot
straight down at him. Again and
again his efforts met with failure.
Once Foster was standing on the tail ;
once the kite swung around and
around, knocked off his hat and
tangled him up in the twine. Yet it
was with difficulty Foster induced
Mr.. Harrison to let him take trial.
Fosters efforts were equally unsuccess-
ful.
Meanwhile little negro boy about
eight years old was standing near
with broad grin on his black face.
Misser, let me sho' you," he said
finally, unable longer to resist the
temptation to show off his skill.
Mr.. Harrison handed the kite over
to the boy and in the twinkling it was
on its way in the air. When the kite
was almost out of sight. Mr.. Harrison,
who had been watching it very in
tently, turned to Foster with a sigh
and said: There are some things
that other folks can do better than
| can" philadelphia Telegraph's
Letter.

the basis Of present prospects this
authority estimates the corn crop Of
1891 at two billion bushels. wheat
10O,O 900 bushels and oats 622, 900. .OOO
bushels, against l 500, 400, and 524,.
100000 bushels, respectively. in 1890.
and 1,I0O,445 and $4,000, 600 bush.
els as the average for the preceding
eleven years. This makes the total
prospective crop of corn. wheat and
oats 3,122, 100000 bushels, 2S.s per
cent. greater than last year, and 14.7
per cent. over the average of the pre-
ceding eleven years.
The American AgricuLurist believes
that unless unexpected influences
wholly change the current of events
the value Of corn on the farm will
average in December fully so cents a
bushel, wheat 81 per bushel and oats
at least 40 cents. On this basis the
value of the corn crop to the farmers
will be 81 900, 900. 900, wheat $500,
100000 and oats $25O,0OO,OOO, or a
total of 81, ,750,000,0OO. This is $780,.
100000 more than the value of these
crops in 1890, and 1926, 600, 900 more
than the value Of the average Of these
crops from 1880 to 1890, inclusive.
Cotton and rice will command better
prices than last season. Cattle are
worth one-third more than eighteen
months ago, with other live stock in
proportion. Tobacco is advancing
heavily for cigar leaf, contracts being
made for the crop in the field at an
advance of 10 to so per cent, over last
year.
Hops are firm, at good prices
Winter fruit will command large
values, and all vegetables are yield
ing fairly, with every indication Of a
remunerative market. The export
outlook was never better. Immense
ly increased sums will be sent to the
United States for our products.
Ulterior influences may, of course,
interfere with this brilliant prospect,
but we confess we are beginning to
share more fully the hopes Of certain
well-informed, but conservative, agri-
culturists, who predict better profits
for the farmers of the United States.
The american Agrieuztursst says there
will be no return to war prices" but
the money received above expenses
will 60 further and enable the farmer
TO get more value out Of his profits
than at any previous period.
