SEPTEMBER NIGHTS.
Their Goodness Causes Sickness
and Suffering.
Rheumatism is Getting Very
Common.
One Woman Brought Home in a
Carriage.

Rheumatism is growing more frequent.
And it is a painful disease that comes
with the cool nights of September. 1t
often battles the skill of physicians.
George Leatherby, of 13S Seneca St.,
Buffalo, tells in the Buffalo News about
his wifes sad condition. He writes:
my wife, Hannah Leatherby, had
long been a sufferer with rheumatism,
complicated with kidney trouble and
nervous complaints. Often when she
went anywhere, it would be necessary
to bring her home in carriage.
"The doctors had given her up and we
were completely discouraged. Yet today
she would not for thousand dollars go
back to the condition she was in before
taking the remedy that was recon-
mended to her by the last physician
she consulted. After she had used one
bottle of this, she threw away her cane,
and when she had taken six times that
amount, she was well and strong. This
is solely the result of her use of Paine's
celery compound, medicine now pre-
scribed by several physicians in Buffalo.
My wife is nearly 70 years old and to-
day is doing ali her own work. l thank
God for what this compound has done
for her -
The News in commenting upon this,
says that Mrs. Leatherby's case has
aroused great deal of interest among
her friends and acquaintance and many
people come to ask about her marvellous
cure. They may come doubling, but
they go away convinced that Paine's
celery compound is the most reliable
remedy known for curing disease and
restoring the afflicted to health and
strength

POISONED BY FINE HAIRS.

Spikes Young Bamboo Shoots XIII
When Administered as Food.
One of the most famous and fatal
poisons used in Japan and Java is OBJ
tanned from the bamboo. The young
shoots of the cane, when they first push
through the ground, are covered with
fine, brownish hairs, which, under the
microscope, appear to be bayonet-lilse
spikes of crystals of slick, infinitely
sharp and hollow.
Small quantities of these hairs adj
ministered daily in the food bring on
liberation of the whole alimentary
canal, stimulating malignant dysentery
The action must be of mechanical
rather than of chemical nature, just
as the spores of the common puff ball
act upon the eyes.
The bamboo crystal is greatly dreaded
by all the European residents of Java
A Dutch official report says that scores
of deaths among European planters are
due to the bamboo hairs and to the
jealousy of native women, who, when
ever they take fancy to a white man,
will either have him or poison him on
bamboo hairs if it takes months to ac-
complish the job.
The infinitesimal hollow through
these hairy crystals is the most re-
markable thing in connection with
them, they being the only known hol-
low vegetable or Er.aeral thorns or
crystals

TWENTY-FIVE hens are as many as
should be confined in one yard.
GIVE the fowls at this time all the
opportunity possible for exercise.
CONSTANT handling of the eggs in an
incubator will often spoil the hatch.
WHEN the ground is covered with
snow ducks and geese must be well
fed.
Do NOT rely upon any one material
for feeding, but supply good variety
regularly.
IF onions, garlic or other strong ma
terials are fed to the laying hens too
freely the eggs will be tainted.
SOFT feed of any kind is better if wet

especially for the young fowls.

January New England Magazine, phil
lips Brooks was asked to make the
prayer on the occasion. The man whose
heart and imagination had been fired
to the utmost in the heat of the contest
could not even pray on such an occa-
sion without breaking forth into words
that rose to the greatness of the event,
and Col. Henry Lee, the Harvard mar
shall for that day, once said to me:
The services on that occasion were not
equal to what men felt Everything
fell short and words seemed to be too
weak. Phillips Brooks prayer was an
exception. That was free speaking
to God, and it was the only utterance
of that day which filled out its mean
ing to the full extent. Lowell's COM
memoratlon ode was great, and SO was
Gen. Deven's speech, but Brooks sur
passed them both The eager inquiry
of that day after that prayer was:
who is Phillips Brooks?' 1t was the
first time that he had appeared before
the most distinguished audience that
could be collected in New England, and
from that moment the growing thought
at Trinity church was to induce Bishop
Eastman to resign and to call Phillips
Brooks to the rectorship of Trinity

Good Sense.

The man who is of the most use in the
community is always the man who does
the most work. Taking one thing with
another it is the busy man who makes his
fortune. Long continued efforts with good
health will lead to success. There is MOTH
ing so true as this. 1t follows therefore
that the man who would be successful
must look after his health. RElD'S GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
is one of the great means for preserving
the health, for it guards the individual
against any danger from pulmonary trou-
bles. Medical authorities say that half the
deaths arise from some form of lung diff
culties. This being SO it follows that if
we would avoid lung trouble and pulmo.
nary complaint we can preserve our health.
All of these start from cold and they are
all complicated more or less with kidney
trouble. REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE recognizes this
fact, and while it soothes the inflamed
tissue of the lungs it also incites the kid
neys to action. 1t will. certainly cure you.

Vast Area Which Has Never Been Salts
flctorily Examined by White Aten.
The Labrador peninsula, or northeast
territory, contains two hundred and
eighty-nine square miles. This is more
than equal to that of Newfoundland
Several lines of exploration and survey
have been carried for a certain dis
tance into the interior of this great pen
insula. among which may be mentioned
those of Prof. Hind, a. P. Low and r.
f. Holme. The limits OF the unexplorcd
area have been drawn so as to exclude
all these. The area regarded as still I'M
explored has, however, it is true, been
traversed in several directions at differ
ent times by officers of the Hudson Bay
Company, particularly on routes lead
ing from the vicinity of Ming an, on the
gulf of St. Lawrence, to the head of
Hamilton inlet, and thence to Ungava
bay. These routes have also, according
to Mr.. Holme, been Travelled by mis-
sionary, Perc Lacasse, but the only
published information which | have
been able to find is contained in book
written by j. Mclean, and in brief
account of journey by Rev. E. j. Peck,
says writer in Goldthwaite's Geo
graphical Magazine. Mr.. Mclean made
several Journeys and established trading
posts between Ungava and Hamilton
inlet in the years 1s39-1s41, while
Mr.. Peck crossed from Little Whale
river, ON Hudson bay, to Ungava in
1884. Something may be gathered as to
the general nature of the country along
certain lines from the accounts given
by these gentlemen, but there is little of
really satisfactory character, while
neither has made any attempt to fix po-
sitions or delineate the feature of the
region on the map. In all probability
this entire region consists of rocky
plateau or billy tract of rounded archB-
an rocks, highest on the northeast
side and to the south, and sloping grad
ually down to low land toward Ungava
bay. 1t is known to be more or less
wooded, and in some places with tim
Der of fair growth, but if it should be
possessed of any real value this may
probably lie in it's multifarious depos-
it's. In this tract of country particular
ly there is reason to hope that ore like
those of Tilt Glove, in Newfoundland.
or those of Sudbury, in Ontario, may
occur.

to show burrow and larva. The larva
grows rapidly and is quite active and
frequently leaves the stalk in one place
and reenterS it at another several
times during it's growth. When ready
to transform, it burrows to the surface
making a hole for the exit of the future
moth and enters the pupa state, as
shown at C. Several larvae may be
found in a single stalk, sometimes a
dozen or more. Most of the Larvae re-
main in the first joint above ground,
but sometimes they are discovered four
or five joints above ground or down in
the root In Virginia there are but two
broods yearly, but farther south there
are several more, and the insects hiber-
nate in the larval state in the stalks.
The later broods do less damage than
earlier ones, and full-grown stalks may
contain several borers and yet mature
perfect ears, but if the corn is attacked
when it is young, growth is arrested or
retarded. and no ears axe formed.
Early planted corn suffers the worst;
in one instance, of that planted during
the first two weeks in April, 25 per
cent. was affected; of that planted the
third and fourth weeks. 20 per cent; of
that planted the first half of May, Is
per cent was affected; of that planted
the last half of May 10 per cent was
affected, while only per cent of corn
planted the first half of June was in
iured Where corn-stalks are left
standing over winter, they form good
lodging places for the larvae, and the
insect will doubtless increase; but if
the stalks are burned on the ground SO
that the roots and all are consumed,
the alternating Larvae are destroyed
and the insects exterminatedL Con.inu-
| Gus rotation of crops and careful Gull
ture will also prevent the insects from
becoming numerous enough to do much
damage. 1t is not probable that any
serious damage will be done in the
more northern states - Orange Judd

White Specks in Butter.

There are many elaborate and semi
scientific ways of accounting for white
speclSs in the butter. When the cream
is SKINNED off more or less milk is
taken with it. This milk is full OF
caseine that always and re adily curdles,
one of the causes of the specks. All
the trouble usually comes from allow
ing the cream to become too old and
sour before it is churned Badly-kept
dairy utensils may accomplish the same
result. The remedy lies in the direc-
ton of quicker work and making the
butter from sweeter cream, according
to the Dairy World, which says:
white specks is one of the penalties
for being a sour butter crank"

An Insect Which Destroys Corn, Sorghum

An Insect Which Destroys Corn, Sorghum
and Sugar Cane.
This insect was first noticed in 1928
when it was found to be doing much
damage to sugar cane in the West In
same pest was noticed, and reports of
its ravages came from Australia, Java,
Borneo, Sumatra and Ceylon. AT an
early date it made its appearance in
Louisiana, probably being introduced
with cane seed from the West Indies.
1t has constantly increased in num-
bers, sometimes entirely destroying
plantations, the canes breaking to
pieces when cut. Several years ago
this insect turned it's attention to corn,
and has done much damage in the
southern states, even as far north as
Virginia and Maryland. The depart
ment of agriculture sent entomolgists
into the infested territory to investi-
gate the ife-history and habits of the
pest, and to devise and suggest rene
dies and means of determination. In
