Of the entire system follows the use
of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's an invigorating, restora,,
tive tonic, soothing cordial and
bracing nervine = and a certain
remedy for all the functional de-
engagements, painful disorders or
chronic weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. 1t improves digestion, en-
riches the blood, dispels aches and
pains, melancholy and nervousness,
brings refreshing sleep, and restores
flesh and strength. For periodical
pains, internal Inflammation and III
ceration, leucorrhea and kindred all
ments, it is a positive speciic-a
ouaranteed one. If it fails to give
satisfaction, in any case, the money
paid for it is refunded. No other
medicine for women is sold on these
terms. With an ordinary medicine,
it can't be done.
That's the way its makers prove
their faith in it. Contains no alco-
hol to inebriate; no syrup or sugar
to derange digestion a legitimate
medicine, not q beverage. Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless IN
any condition of the system.

Ne Dear Dr. Gallaker: I notice that your
Lynchburg correspondent Mr. Craighill
wants the name Of your town changed l
think the hyphen and capital 7 solve the
difficulty, and that neither Charleston or
Charles Town win suffer to any extent in
the future through similarity of names. As
a member of a firm receiving great deal OF
freight express and mail matter. have lit
tie cause to complain, and no desire to have
your good people Go violence to their feel
ings by calling your beautiful and historic
cal little city Charles CITY. We of Charles

by our mail and etc. going to Charleston

There is q charming Young widow III
South Minneapolis who retains five year
old girl as the only pledge OF her dear de-
parted saws writer in the Tri5n'c of that
town. The little one has just begun to learn
her alphabet. A gentleman called upon the
widow the other evening OF course the
fond mother wanted to show off her child
Taking up a newspaper and pointing to the
biz letters in an advertisement the mother
said:
"What letter is that?"
a. :" responded the child.
"What comes after A ~
"B."
"And what comes next?
&C." lisped the little one.
The inquiry was persued still further, but
along toward the end of the alphabet the Int,
tie girl lost her bearings and never answered
a question. =,
Finally the gentleman thought he would
put few questions. He began with this
one:
"What comes after To"
The child looked him straight in the eyes
as she answered:
"a man to see mamma"
The lesson in English literature was mol
prolonged.

The veteran publisher, George Jones' OF
the New York Times, who died last week,
was shining example of journalistic indie
pendence and incorruptibility. One of the
great achievements of the Times under his
management was the exposure and over
throw of the Tweed ring. 1t is said that
when Tweed learned that the secret accounts
of the ring were to be published in the
Times he offered to purchase the paper at
any price that might be named. The offer
was refused, as was another Of $5,OOO,0OO
for the suppression of the damaging state
ments. Mr. Jones took an active part in
the opposition to Blaine's nomination and
in the mugwump movement which aided so
materially in electing Cleveland to the pres
idency.

AGRICULTURAL.


According to the weather crop bulletin
issued by the government weather bureau,
the week ending July IL was cooler than
usual in all agricultural districts within the
limits of the United States, except in the
Rio Grande valley and on the coast of
southern California
The rainfall of the week was generally
in excess over all agricultural districts, the
only regions not reporting an excess of rain
including the territory from the upper lake
region westward to Dakota, and from Tex
as westward to southern California The
rainfall was unusually heavy i'm the lower
Mississippi valley, including the region
previously reported as suffering from
drouth and where the seasonal rainfall
was from II to II inches below the normal.
Winter wheat and rye are in shocks in
the southern sections of Iowa. The pre-
cirtaton in Indiana was in excess, except
in a few localities. The temperature was
deficient. There was an average sunshine
very favorable to growing crops and har-
vesting. Immense wheat crops of good
quality in shock are being threshed. Corn
was much benefited by rain. Cold wealth
or has retarded corn somewhat in Ohio, but
crops generally are good. Oats, potatoes,
corn, tobacco, are in fine condition, with
prospective large yield. In Nebraska, cold
wet weather has caused corn to grow slow
y and has interfered somewhat with har-
vesting. Corn is very backward and warm,
dry weather is needed. Massachusetts, re-
ports a favorable week for crops, except
that it was cold for tobacco and corn.
Cool, cloudy and damp tells the story of
the weather in New England during the
greater part of the week, says the bulletin
of the New England meteorological society.
Moderate to heavy rains fell generally
throughout New England on the early
morning of the 18th and on the 7th-9th,
making the fall for the week slightly above
the average. 1t was very beneficial to most
crops and probably injured none, except
hay that was partly cured. The low tenn
perature favored the rank growth of pota-
toes and grass, but much warmer weather
is needed for corn and tobacco and for gar
den vegetables, although these crops are
by no means standing still waiting for
more favorable conditions, but are grow
ing steadily. As a rule the reports from
all sections of New England indicate only
the most favorable conditions for all crops.
These extracts are given from Vermont
reports:
Brattleboro: Grass never grew better,
new seeded ground is extra, old fields are
light. Potatoes never looked better, oats
and corn are good. Ludlow: We have had
two rainy days during the past week which
wet the ground down quite deep. The
rain cleared off warm and crops of all
kinds are looking very well. West Fairlee
farmers are getting started a little in hay
ing: grass is green and growing as fast as
at any time this year and is heavy on all
new-stocked pieces.

American wheat Must Feed Europe.

\ report on the harvest prospects in
France and Europe has been received at
the state department in Washington from
Commercial Agent Griffin of Limoges,
France. The national millers' association
of France, the report says, has just issued
an estimate, founded on very carefully col
lected data, of the probable wheat harvest
of France and Europe for 1891. A careful
estimate of the supply and demand in
France for this year shows probable de-
mand for food and seed of 12S, 900, 900
hectolitres, and estimated yield of only 49,,
10000 hectoltres-Or product of 81 per
cent less than the harvest of 1890.
Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces will have
a fair harvest. In Hungary it will be be-
low the average this year. The estimates
given by the millers, the report says, are
optimistic. The desire to create the i'm
preston that there is a better supply than
really exists is done with purpose; they
want to buy grain as cheaply as possible in
those fortunate countries that have of their
abundance to export.
In conclusion, the report says, not only
France but all Europe is looking longingly
to the wheat fields of the United States.
Last year many hoped that South America
would help supply the deficit especially
the Argentine Republic, but today no men
ton is made of these countries; all hope is
built upon the United States harvest. The
fact, as recently stated, is that the bread of
Europe must come from America.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1891-07-17

The Massachusetts, Legislature, before its
adjournment, appropriated another $50
600 to be devoted to the determination of
the gypsy moth. The money is to be eX-
pended by the state board of agriculture,
and commission of the board has been
designated to take the matter in charge. If
the state succeeds in surrounding and de
stroying this pest, it will be a boon to the
country.
Store some of the fine sweet hay and
clover where it can be had at pleasure to
feed the sheep in springtime after the
warm days come and the appetite needs a
little nursing. Sheep will grow poor on
coarse hay however well cured, without
something TO work in for a change At
tention TO these little matters i'll time is the
price of success with flock.
Glover makes the best hay if it is cut be-
fore it natures. Moreover, if cut before
the juice fully leaves the roots new shoots
are sent forth, the plant takes fresh root,
and is more apt to produce a crop the next
season than fields that are cut after the
crop has turned brown before cutting,
which kills many of the plants.
