DOES EXPERIENCE COUNT?

Charming people, these exceptional people Here's medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for instance, And it's cured hundreds, thousands that're known, that're unknown, and yet yours is an exceptional case! Do you think that that bit of human nature which you call 'I" is different from the other parcels of human nature? But you don't know my case" Good friend, in ninety-nine out of a hundred cases, the causes are the same-impure blood--and that's why "Golden Medical Discovery cures ninety nine out of every hundred. You may be the exception. And you may not. But would you rather be the exception, or would you rather be well? If you're the exception it costs you nothing, you get your money back--but suppose it cures you Let the "Golden Medical Discov- ery'' take the risk.

How tO Keep Young.

Here's hint for people who want to keep young for great many years of their life, and is there any one of us that does not? A persons age depends largely upon the point of view from which he is |i,onsidered. Considered as applicants for the position of president of 8 bank, you and l would be rather young, you know. Considered as applicants for the position of messenger, we would be old.
 That's where the hint lies-a hint both for men and women. Keep on reaching out after something little farther on than a person of your years usually gets. For instance, a primary school teacher of thirty would be old. The same woman filling professorship in college at the same age would be young. The same course of reasoning applies to men. If you want to keep yourself young, there fore, do something worth doing-get on in the world.-New York Evening Sun

The Object in Flowing.

The chief object in blowing is to pull lverize the soil and make it fine and mel low. All kinds of grain and vegeta bles require mellow seed bed in order to secure the best results. But in many cases the condition and variety of the soil should be considered in determining how and when the blowing should be done. Some soils should only be stirred, and this is generally the case with new soils. Fields that have been i'll cultiva tion for number of years get more thoroughly mixed, and turning over does not change so much. Land in a state of nature has the best soil near the surface, and with nearly all crops it should be kept there, as the greater part of the roots extend out in every direction near the surface If the soil is hard and con- pact, so that the roots cannot push through, they will not be able to obtain the substance from the soil that they should. By loosening and mellowing up, larger per cent. of the plants food in the soil is made available.
 But in many cases it will be better to blow so as to stir the soil rather than to turn the surface soil under. A sandy loam, If well provided With drainage, IS rarely benefited by very deep blowing; a stiff clayey soil is often benefited by stirr- ing deep, as it affords a better opportuni- ty for the roots to penetrate through it. If the blowing can be done some time before planting, so as to give time for the newly turned soil to be acted upon by the sun, rain, snow and atmosphere, and then an implement is used that will stir the surface to the proper depth with ont turning under this soil, better results can be secured. With all crops, whether sown in the fall or spring, where the lay and character of the soil will admit, blowing deep and thorough and then working the surface in a good tilth, will be found the best plan. But the blowing should be done in time to have the plowed land acted upon thoroughly by the differ .ent elements before planting the crop Agricultural Epitomist.

BosToN, April 9.-The ship Trafalgar
passed Highland Light this AFTERNOON,
thus deciding in her favor one of those
races so popular years ago-the struggle
OF iull-riGged ships over a course II, 900
miles long. This race was between the
ships Ardencralg, 2,O72 tons, and the
Trafalgar, 1896 tons.
The Ardencraig left Calcutta Dec. 10.
and the Trafalgar sailed three days later.
Both vessels we're jute-laden. the Arden
craig carrying more than $4,000 bales. A
fine run was made across the Indian
ocean. Thirty-fvc days out OF Calcutta
the Trafalgar overlook her rival and
spoke her. Then the vessels parted and
had not seen each other SINCE. In spite
Of a two days storm at the Cape of Good
Hope, the Ardencraig made a wonder
fully quick passage until she reached the
equator. Here adverse winds held her
back. and she finally reached Boston at
10 this forenoon, lie days out.
The Trafalgar had not arrived, but she
had to be more than three days behind to
lose. and late this afternoon the marine
observer at Highland Light, on the tip
of Cape Cod, wired Boston that the Ira
falgar was in sight, and the Ardencrsig
people were beaten. The Trafalgar will
sail into the harbor tomorrow forenoon.
She is the first four. masted ~full-rgRed
ship to visit Boston.

GOSHEN, Ind, April Alexander
Snyder, a wealthy citizen, was found dead
in bed early this morning with one side of
his skull crushed. Search was at once
begun, and within a couple OF hours two
tramps, strangers to the city, were behind
the bars, charged with the crime. Sew
eral articles belonging to Snyder we're
found In their possession. Pressure was
brought to bear upon them to induce
them to confess. and one OF them finally
consented.
His confession dlscloses a romantic
story OF well-plauned crime. Fifteen
years ago Snyder came here from Ger
many accompanied by his wife and one
child. He was moderately well of, but
he had the most misery habits. This led
to frequent chickering's between himself
and wife, until she finally lett him, after
procuring a divorce and alImony, to live
with friends in New York City. Since
her departure SNYDER has been growing
more wealthy and misery, till at the time
OF his murder ne was living 10 almost alb
solute squalor.
The murderer SAYS he used to be well
acquainted with Mrs. Snyder 10 New
York and that she often spoke of her tor
mer husband habits and once incendeut.
ally mentioned that he usually kept a large
sum OF money concealed under the floor.
Acting upon this information he and his
partner came west with the intention Of
getting hold of the cash. They awakened
the old man, and to quiet him, gave him
a blow over the head. but did not intend
to kill him. They did not find the money
and we're returning to the east when ar.
rested. They could not be prevailed upon
to give Mns. Snyder's present address.

and Checks Worth $4,000.
Failure of a Well-Laid Plan to
Rob an indiana Miser.
Sailing Vessels Race From
Calcutta to Boston.
He Is Ten and stole SIS, 900.

ATLANTA, April "A $1,000 post
office robbery has been engaging the
detectives here for four days. OF this
sum $lO,2l5 in checks and notes has been
recovered. On April I the Atlanta
National bank began to miss letters con,
tanning checks and notes mailed to them
from outside correspondents. The tanks
were notified, but the city detectives
were not called 10. Or Thursday last a
boy went to the American Trust 4
Banking company with a check for 5000,
which he wanted cashed. The check was
given to Capt English, president of the
bank. He examined it, and, iustructiug
the cashier not to cash it, stepped to the
telephone and called for Capt. Couch,
chief of detectives. The boy who pre-
seuted the check caught Oh, and ran away
before he could be arrested or detained
in the bank.
When the detective reported at the
bank Capt. English explained what had
occurred, and the working UP of the case
began. On Friday another check was
presented at the Merchants bank. 1t
was for s!2 and was presented by a man.
The cashier took up the check and re-
fused to nay it. At this the man eI-
planned that he had got the check from
another person. Finally the detectives
succeeded in locating a young white boy
as the thief He is the same who pre-
scented the check at the American Loan
4 Banking company on Thursday. The
boy confessed and showed the detectives
the place where he had hidden part of
monav II waa undar a old Mat
form. Nineteen checks we're found there.
At the boys house fity-three others we're
found between the mattresses OF a bed.
There are still several other checks
missing. The boy said he had stolen the
checks out OF the banks private drawer
in the postofice, 1t was out of order and
could be opened from the outside by a
little shaking. The boy took the ~l.tters
as openly as though he had been 10 the
employ of the bank. The boy is about
10 wears Old. HIS name is Andrew Nolan.
