J. D. WILCOX.

One of the Oldest Settlers in Penna.
J. D. Wilcox was born 81 years ago
and has lived most of the time in
Olmsville, Tioga Co., Pa, where he is a
a practical farmer and successful
popular, known for miles around and
by strict integrity and honesty he has
attached to himself host of friends, and
has received from the Government the
Postmastership of his village. He says:
Ihad been weighed down by poor health
for long time and gradually grew worse
until four years ago the crisis came. At
that time four of our best physicians
could give me no encouragement and
some of them said | would not live a
year. commenced to use DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Cure. My doctors said your remedy
might help me for a time, but that l
would not be here a year hence. l took
Swamp Root for nearly twelve months
three times a day, and used your U. g. O..
Anointment rubbing in thoroughly over
the affected parts, across my chest, liver
and back, warming it in with hot flat
iron. The rheumatism was so bad that
I could not get either hand to my
face. My health now is very good, in
fact, I think am as well as most men at
my age-67 years. Igive your Swamp
Root entire credit of saving my life and
the good health I now enjoy is due to
its use. I have worked some on the
farm of late and do most of the chores
myself.
This is not written for publication,
but if it will give others confidence in
your great remedy, I have no objections
to your using it as best you can. With
best regard I remain. j. d. Wilcox.
This is but one of the hundreds of
letters received daily by DIR. Kilmer &
Co. ,and five thousand dollars will be
given to any one who will prove any
portion of the above testimony untrue.
Swamp Root is beyond question the
greatest discovery of the age, ..- |

Gov. MCKINLEY has seen At to ap-
point ex-senator Geyser, of Fulton
county, as a trustee of the Toledo In
sane Asylum in place Of Henry Rohrs
of this county. Mr.. Rohrs has made
a most excellent trustee and Is SO far
superior in every way to his successor
that the change assumes the aspect of
farce. Geyser being an ex-senator
and republican, his appointment was
confirmed at once.

IT is now nearly five weeks since
Napoleon was left without a postmas-
ter, and still the republican party
with Its Characteristic infirmity ofpur-
pose has failed to fill the vacancy.
The party is hating between right and
wrong. 1t will be something of a sur
prise party if greed and the party lash
do not jump in the pan and topple
down the scales in favor of wrong and

THE Waverly Watchnadn deprecates
the measure pending in the Ohio legis-
lature authorizing township trustees to
pay bounty of fifty cents for hawk
and owl scalps. The editor says these
birds prey largely upon field mice, and
but for this they would become SO
numerous as to destroy meadow and
pasture lands. Jones says hawks and
owls are the most useful birds to farm
ers if they do carry off young chickens
at times, and says we ought to let our
national birds alone and "legislate a
war of determination on the blasted
English sparrows."

COUNTERFEIT silver dollars cast in
molds are in circulation. They are
made of standard silver, the counter
feiter depending for his profit ON the
difference in the bullion and the coin
age value of silver. 1t is said to be a
very dangerous counterfeit, but may be
distinguished by the absence ofthe fine
feathery condition of the eagles wings.

IT will soon be time to plant trees.
Many more trees would be planted if
everybody knew how, when and what
to plant. Street trees are desirable;
they are easily raised; the only requi-
site is to plant the right way and at the
right time. In this latitude the very
best trees 20 plant are the maple, cot
tonwood, Lombard poplar and elm.
The best plan to have present and sub
sequent shade would be to plantan elm
on the first corner, then cottonwood,
maple or Lombard poplar ten or fifteen
feet, next an elm within the same dis
tance and SO on to the end Of your own
lot. The Lombard poplar and cotton
wood are short lived, as rule, In this
latitude, but the elms and NAPLES live
and flourish for years. While the short
lived trees are dyirg out, the Others
will grow and fill the space. This ID
not theory, it has been demonstrated
by practice, and those planting trees
this spring would do we'll to heed
these suggestions.-EIchdnge.

Too Many Languages,

There IS undoubtedly a good deal of
advantage in learning foreign tongues
from nurse in childhood. but it is
easily possible to do this at the expense
of English. If the child is not to know
its mother tongue there is not a great
deal of advantage in having a smatter-
ing of foreign one.
On the piazza of summer hotel were
observed not long since a group of
over-dressed children who were about
setting out for Il walk under the care
of a govcrness who was Enthusiastically

said to his sister, ''aint the Fraulein

lBalZac on Color,

Balzac, the French author, saws that
woman's character finds expression
in her favorite color. A woman who
prefers orange or green gowns is, he
thinks, quarrelsome. Those who sport
yellow hats or who go clad in black
without cause are not to be trusted.
White should indicate coquetry. Con.
tie and thoughtful women prefer pink.
Pearl-gray is the color of women who
consider themselves unfortunate. Lilac
is the shade particularly affected by
overripe beauties; therefore, according
to Balzac, lilac hats are mostly worn
by mothers on their daughters mar
riage day and by women more than
forty years old when they go visiting.

SOME OF THE LATEST STYLES
IN WOMAN'S DRESS.
A Chapter on Tights, Stockings and
Garters-wrap for Evening Wear
Sable and Broadcloth-A Dinner
Toilet.

Everybody knows that carriers have
gone out and girdles have come in, but
did any stop to trace the analogy be-
tween the decadence of the one and
the popularity of the other? 1t is the
wearing of tights, of course, that
brings the garter into desuetude; that
is, that reduces the number of carriers
worn by one-half. If you see a swag-
ger girl with gold ribbon one inch in
width clasped around her waist, you
may wager your bank account that she
has its mate clasped around her leg
Just below the knee What for? Oh,
just for the quaint conceit Of the thing!
It Is amusing to watch the pretty girls
shopping for tights. With the perver-
sity of things mundane, the hose coun-
tiers are presided over by men, and 1t Is
very embarrassing to have them think
you are skirt dancer or a ballot favor
lite. And SO the pretty girl gets the
tights on an order from the country, or
for a friend, or her mother, or grand
mother even. Then she hustles home
and puts them on her own slender ex-
tremities, throws away her carriers and
harness of elastic straps, and in half an
hour realizes that she has never really
lived before. The lines of anxiety
smooth out of her fair brow, the shadows
of care soften from her eyes. She knows
her stockings won't come down, and
battle, murder and sudden death lose
their terrors fur her.
One of the most remarkable things
about a woman is the WY q manages
from little girlhood up u al one cor
ner of her mind clear ana devoted TO
her stockings in the midst of most dis
tressing grief and anxiety. As child
no matter how much She wants to beat
her brother in the race, she has TO stop
II her stocking comes down. As
woman she may, in the arrest of her
woe, let her hairpins fall out; she may
forget to eat or sleep, but she never
relsxes the vigilance over her stockings.
Tho amount Of nerve force summoned
in lifetime of this constant, strict
surveillance Is enormous. Now that the
tyranny of the garter is ended 1t is little
wonder that our girls are growing taller
and that our women are stepping up
bravely into the worlds high places
and winning laurels in fame's great
temDle
