THE LAXATIVE GUMDROPS.

Dyspeptics who wish a pleasant laxa
tive easy to take and with no unpleasant
sensation afterwards; persons troubled
with gas in the stomach, an indication OF
chronic Indigestion; people who are trou-
bled with long continued constipation and
inactivity of the digestive organs-ln
short all persons who have indigestion in
any Of its forms will find the LAXATIVE
GUMDROPS to be the finest, most pleas
ant of cathartes. They can be taken at
any time, either before or after eating, but
they are most efficient when taken at
night on retiring. They produce all the
results which are sought to be obtained by
pills, without gripping or pain, nor is there
the slightest taste Of medicine in them.
They can be taken with no suspicion
that they contain a cathartc, and they are
thus especially recommended for Children
From two to four constitute dose, but
more can be taken without fear for they
contain no deleterious substance. They
are put up in small boxes ten cents, large
ones twenty-five cents. If your druggist
does not have them send to US and we
will send them to you by mail.

coLoRs OF THE SEASON.
some Very Delicate and Pretty Effects
VIII Ra Worn

some very Delicate and Pretty Effects
VIII BE Worn.
While the present season will be not
able for the general use of delicate
eolors, there are very evident indica-
tions of the popularity of black. Dark
intermediate shades are less in demand,
although a great deal of navy blue is
seen among the best goods, as well as
all shades of red. Brown seems less de-
sirable, dark green is fairly popular.
The special fancy of the market turns
to tints. Tan in all shades, from the
dark color with reddish cast to the
lighter tint shading on ecru, is specially
good. Black grounds with bright colors
and tints of almost every Imaginable
grade are among the ultra-fashionable
fabrics.
For street costumes, black silks bro
caded with tiny buds, leaves, wreaths,
or set figures are much admired; light
blue in all grades, and tints of green
are seen in the best importa-
tons. A green with yellow
ish cast which is invoiced as
''Cronstadt" is very popular. Heliotrope
is to be one of the leading colors, the
more SO as there are rumors that the
exquisite light tints are to be brought
out in fadeless qualities. Such thing
as "a fast color heliotrope will GER
tainly be an innovation, and will make
this one of the most popular of all Of
the summer and demi-season colors
Dark heliotrope and the colors verging
on purple are in very general demand,
even to the royal purple, and plum or
dahlia. Yellow is very generally used,
little orange and some of the mandarin
yellows, but these colors are not as
much liked as many of the lighter
shades.
Pink is one of the leading tints, and
whether in the very palest of shades or
the dull old pink and strawberry tints,
all are equally good. Pink with salmon
shadings is used, but this is somewhat
trying, and is not as popular as the clear
primary rose and peach-blow.- Dem

THE PASTURE.
A Prime Necessity on Every Well-Regu-
lated Farm.

Prime Necessity on Every Well-Regu-
lated Farm.
Any agricultural people who under
take to sustain themselves permanently
without pasturage will learn their mis-
take If they keep on in that line. When
science, art, theory and practice, history
in all ages, common sense and the eX-
perience of every agricultural country
in the world, combine to show that
there can be no permanent agricultural
prosperity without pasturage for beasts,
why will men continue to struggle on
against every dictate of prudence and
all the evidence bearing on the subject?
Plenty of grass wide expanses of it,
not the thinly-scattered natives, which
are often worthless, but the very best
that can be had for each locality is
what is needed.
Animals must be fed; but feeding
does not pay when it costs more than
the animal is worth. Grass is always
the cheapest animal food, and the best
for the purpose of producing meat, but
ter and milk, and also for work ami
mails. Keeping stock is necessary to
the maintenance of the fertility of the
soil This stock must be fed, and pas
turage is at once the best and cheapest
feed. Under some conditions, feed can
be more cheaply produced by tillage,
but this is where land is dear and
scarce, so that not enough pasturage
to support the animals desired can be
afforded. But where there is land
enough for, say, forty or fifty-acre
pasture, and as many good cows or
mares and colts as that amount of grass
will sustain during the pasturing sea-
son, and enough land besides to raise
the grain food and family sustenance re-
quircd on the farm, the proprietor has
in his hands most independent, pleas
ant and certain living, with all the
comforts that pertain to such a life, with
the least amount of labor. On all we'll
ordered farms at least one-fourth the
land should be so pastured as to furnish
all the hay that may be needed when
green pasture is out of season. Hay,
per acre, is fully as valuable as cotton,
and far more profitable, because the
labor and expense in producing it is less
than that of any other crop. 1t is main
tanned by stoclS-raisers of experience
that neither cattle, horses nor hogs can
be proftably raised without pasture,
and, as a rule, the greater the proper
ton of pasture the greater the profit.
Grass is the foundation for the future
prosperity of the south. Let us spend
less time and money in killing this great
benefactor and give some of the same
work to the making of grass grow
where none grew before, and making
more grow where but little grows now.

Those farmers, says the Massachusetts
Ploughman, who allow animal bones to
lie about the premises are neither tidy
nor wise. If they can not be broken
up they should be buried near grape
vines or fruit trees, the roots of which
will gradually appropriate them for
food. Grape roots will, after little,
penetrate into bones and pulverize
them. Tie best way, however, is to
break them into small pieces with ak
or sledge hammer and then bury them;
or allow fowls to eat the finer portions
of which they are very fond. Fresh
bones are especially palatable to fowls;

There is no better sheep food than
peas, and as about as many peas can be
grown on an acre, If mixed-so as to be
half oats-as when grown alone, and
as the oats will, in ordinary years, hold
the peas up so they can be cut with a
mower, it is better TO mix them in the
proportion of two bushels of the small
Canada field pea to one bushel of oats,
choosing a kind of oats with pretty
stiff straw The best way to prepare

but not enough so as to lose the leaves;
put them into cocks Of two hundred
or three hundred pounds, and after a
week of good curing weather they can
be simply aired out and put into mows
or they can be put into good-sized
stacks without cooking, but the stacks
should be topped, or capped, with any
cheap hay or swamp grass, put on when
not more than half cured; otherwise
they will wet half through, and much

A Pet Beaver

a
Altame beaver kept by soldiers at
fort.in Wyoming became quite famous
for bis sagacity. Caught while young
and perfectly tanned, he became very
docile, and, q great favorite at the fort.
The little fellow could never be cured
of hisFinstinct to build dams, and 1t is
related that he once undertook to dam
the Platte river, working for months
all might long, and returning to the
fort every morning at sunrise. He
cut e down quite number OF
trees, but life proved to short for
the completion Of his plans. While
around the fort he was constantly turn
ing over every kind Of vessel that con-
tanned water and collecting sticks uo
head It off as it flowed away. One
night by oversight, the beaver was
locked up in the warehouse, and during
the night, in riosing around, he discov-
cred a ten gallon can of molasses that
had. been left uncovered, The discovery
nroved his doom The next dav he was
found gasping for life, having been
caught in the sticky mass as the can
was overturned. He never recovered
from the shock, and was tenderly buried
in the presence of large circle of his
friends. Golden Days.
The Orientals who come to New
York keep up the customs OF their
country, to some extent. Two poor
syrians in this city recently paid visit
to an Effendi in his Office As soon as
they reached the door they took off
their shoes, salaamed, and entered the
Office in profound humility. There are
amusing stories in Washington about
the formalities practised by Hassan
Ben Ali and his retinue from Morocco
during their recent visit to the White
House in Washington. When Hassan
.pproached President Harrison he bent
his head, fixed his eyes on the floor,
and salaamed majestically, while the
members OF his suite remained PROSTATE
dui ling the whole Of the interview.

AN IDEAL HOME.

Place That Is n Model of Refined Taste.
For a drawing room in country
house there Is nothing prettier than
broad, low wicker chairs with am.
pie chintz cushions. The chintz should
match the window curtins, which may
also have inside curtains of dotted swiss
muslin. A certain typical and most
"livable-looling" drawing-room sug-
gests itself as an example. The room
is large with low ceilings and the
slightly uneven floor, which is indica-
tive of very old house, is covered first
with white India mating and then
again with tremendously tinted rags.
The walls are hung with simple but
pretty paper, which is finished at the
top with narrow gilt molding, from
which hang few good water colors
and three mirrors-two oblong and
convex, and the other long and narrow
with twisted gilt sides, a heavy top cor
nice, and the division at the top which
was common pattern in our grand
mothers days. $3.50. -
The prevailing chintz is exceedingly
pretty and cheerful, and the various
low tables all indicate plainly their diff
ferent uses. One for the weeks period
icals another for books, a cozy-loolllng
tea-table and a utilitarian, albeit dainty,
work table complete the number. The
becushioned chairs, it is needless to say,
are most comfortable; and with few
logs burning on the brightly-polished
firedogs in the deep, low brick fireplace,
big bunch of daffodils on the white
wooden mantel, the delicious all-per-
vading odor from handful of violets
on the tea-table, and the general air OF
a ''ie ne sails quoi' of comfortable and
refined living, it is no wonder the fam
lily exclaim joyously; "How quite too
delightful to be in the cou ntry again.
