The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in tho
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that d

Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air We
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into tho
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places,
they leave, and SO nourish and
soothe that, in a short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. Q

The annual loss of, agricultural

per cent. But what does this mean?
Taking the estimate of our farm prod

such a sum were stolen in bulk what

1t has b suggested that as far as
possible, roads should be made to
wind around hills instead OF going
over them. But it is fact well-known
to horsemen that a horse can travel
longer on a road that has ups and
downs-if the grades are not too
heavy-than if it runs for a long dis
lance on a dead level. The secret OF
this is that by going up and down hill
different sets OF muscles are brought
into play, while on a level road the
strain is on the same set continuous

they reached the spot where my horse
was tied they halted, and as we came
up the woman said:
"The elders dun gone fur good, and

And so she saved the day. The eld-

TOLD OF A PRAIRIE SCHOONER.

A Night Visit to an Emtgrant Train
on the Kansas Plains.
White and whirling the first snow of
the year vas falling on the bluffs OF
Northern Kansas. Occasionally the
storm lifted. Then became visible
fences outlining winding roads, and
here and there amethystine spirals of
smoke. David Glennon's substantial
house, thanked by outbuildings, bade
defiance to the elements. Glennon,
seated by the kitchen stove, while his
wife moved briskly around prepar-
ing supper, was the embodiment of
satisfaction.
A knock at the door. The woman
opened it. BIackly against t%hesnowy
twilight doomed up a gaunt form.
"Our wagons broke down yonder,
an my partners sick. Kin we stay
here TIL sun-up?"
The woman glanced appealingly at
her husband. He rose angrily. 1--WE
amt got nothin' for tramps."
He slammed the door in the stran-
gers face. That night when he was
sleeping the sleep of the selfish his wife
called her own son. Together they
plodded through the storm to where
the ribs of the prairie schooner gleam-
ed ghostly as the pallid skeleton of a
mastodon.
A man pushed back the canvas in
the rear of the wagon. He took her
gifts of warm food. He got out and
stood talking to the boy. In the
dimly lighted interior q man lay
stretched on a pallet. Suddenly she
drew herself up and leaned towards
him: Their eyes met; his dazzled with
the supreme splendor of unexpected
Joy; her shrinking in the bewi!der-
ment of half-terrified recognition.
"Mary!" he murmured.
She gasped, gave a frightened
glance towards the two talking with
out.

The words came brokenly. She
lifted her apron. She wiped the sweat
from his forehead. She groaned
aloud.
"Mother," cried a boyish voice.
With furtive passion she pressed her
lips to the white lips below. One word
OF love. She was gone.
"You we're % long time talkin' to
that sick camper" grumbled her son
as they entered the kitchen. "What
are you cryin' for?"
"Nothin."

met them at a bend in the road and
drew aside to let them pass. Half a
mile further down they stoppedto eat
dinner from the baskets which had
been prepared. I was watching the
last one out of sight when q tall,
Raunt woman, who must have been
fully go years old, but who was still
rugged and full Of determination,
came up from the other way. Her
dress was of the plainest and her head
was covered with a sunbonnet, while
che had on neither shoes nor stock
ings.
She was carrying q rifle on her
shoulder, and she came up so quietly
that l was startled.
"Mawnin', stranger" she saluted as
she came to a halt.

walked beside her down the trail,
but we didn't exchange a word. I
could hear her breathing excitedly,
and two or three times she examined
the trife to see that it was in perfect
order. We passed the turn at length
and came full upon the party, seated
on the rocks with their luncheons be-
fore them. No one saw us until we
were close at hand. The Mormon
elder sat in the center of the group.
Twenty feet away from him the wom-
an halted, brought the rifle up to her
shoulder, and, in a low but very
menacing voice, said:
II want yous to go! Go right down

The elder rose up, pale-faced tremb-
ling, and, after a look to satisfy him
self that not one of the crowd was
moving to interfere, he started of.
AS he went the woman called after
him:

show yo's face back yere again!"
With her rifle to her cheek she COW
cred him until he passed the bend
thirty rods below. Then she turned
to the people, everyone OF whom
seemed dumbfounded, and said:

The Bee Moth.

The bee moth, Galleria cereana,
says Prof. Cook. is a generally recog-
nized enemy Of the honey bee; yet it is
usually powerless to injure but weak
colonies, especially Of the yellow races
of bees. Though called the wax
moth, it really feeds mostly on pol
len, though it cuts the comb in a ruin.
GUS fashion, as it tunnels through and
through it in search of its real food.
It is not considered a serious enemy
by any well informed bee keeper, but
will often do serious mischief to weak
colonies Of bees bymatting, soiling and
tunneling the combs, and in this way
exciting and dispiriting the bees. It
is also. ruinous to exposed combs,
and thus makes caution on the part
OF the bee keeper an imperative neces-
sity to SUCCESS.

Ostsntation at Funerals.

1t is sad commentary on hrist-
ian community, which takes t hat dis
tinctive title from religion whose
founder is called the Consider, because
His word plucks the sting from death,
that it surrounds death with every
circumstance of woe and gloom. The
distinctive ministry of the faith seems
to fail at the very point to which it is
especially addressed. The natural
Christian tone at the burial of tue
dead would seem to be the cheer that
springs from the thought of immortal
ity-a sublime hope, tender resigna-
ton. The Christian thought in that
hour should instinctively dwell upon
the soul, not upon the body, and the
simplest and most transformations rite
of burial would seem to be the most
truly Christian. But the ostentation
of Christian funerals has become so
great that burial reform associations
are formed, both in this country and
in England, to relieve the poor of the
painful and needless cost which, from
mistaken respect for the dead, they
will not spare so long as ostentation is
the custom.-George William Curtis,

Magazine for June.

Memorial Dav.

That River Falls is abreast with
other places in the love shown for the
heroes who have found their last rest
ing place in the grounds devoted to
those who have departed was evinced
on Memorial Day by the large con-
course of citizens who came together
to aid in the decoration exercises.
At an early hour the streets were
filled with teams and persons gathered
in Greenwood Cemetery long before
the exercises would commence.
At about 10 O'Clock the assembly"
was sounded by the River Falls Cornet
Band at the hall of the G.. A. r. and
soon after the veterans in blue with
the appropriate badge of their order
filed out, followed 10y the various civic
societies and escorted by the Pioneer
Fire Company OF River Falls. all hav-
ing appropriate badges. The ladies' of
the Relief Corps and of the Rebekah
Lodge accompanied the procession as
guard of honor to the young ladies
who carried wreaths for decoration.
Preceded by the band the long pro-
cession marched up Main street and
thence to the grounds.
From the upper part of the ceme'
terry the scene was imposing. The
flag dropping in the silent air the long
line of blue coated veterans renewing
for time the days of their youth,
the gsyer array of the firemen, the
planner dress of the civic societies
and the long array of carriages gave
evidence of the interest felt in this
holiday so full of saddened memories
The gates reached the line passed
up the main avenue to the lots where
lie the remains of DR.. Andrews and
Capt. Knowles, where the principa
part of the exercises took place.
