Thought Transformers.

My father, Mr.. A. G. King of LIE Roy.
Ills. was very sick with Ia grippe in JAN
uary, 1892. On the Goth | was sent for
and staid with him several days until he
was somewhat improved. l then re.
turned to my home, Decatur, Ills, some
30 miles distant, telling my brother Ed
ward to write me every day and If
necessary to telephone or telegraph me.
For quite awhile the letters came regu-
larly reporting everything favorable.
Then they ceased. There had not been
any letters for about week, when, on
the evening of the 10Th Of February l
concluded that 1 would try the expert
ment of making Brother Edward write
me by writing to him and then tearing
up the letter, as suggested by Mark
Twain in Harper's. 1 wrote the letter,
commencing it, "Dear Brother Edward
Il suppose that no news is good news,
as if all were not well you would write"
After l had written the letter I con-
cluded that / would send it, as, if the
mind influence had acted upon Edward
by my writing the letter, the sending
thereof would not interfere with it. He
would receive it the next day. At 7
o'clock on the morning of Feb. 16, re-
ceived a letter from Edward, dated the
10Th, saying: Dear Brother james,
have not written you for several days,
because l have had no bad news to re-
port. Recollect, no news will be good
news" AS near as we can learn, he
wrote this letter at the same time that l
was writing to him. Is the fact that his
thoughts, and even words, were the
same as mine a mere coincidence, OF
something more?--Arena.

Chronic Diseases.

The doctor treats no acute diseased. but de-
votes his whole time to the trea tment of
chronic and long standing and surgical dis
eases; cases given up by other doctors and pro-
nounced incurable, he most desires TO see. Dr.
Humphrey has had nearly 5000 cures In the
state of Michigan, while his patients all told In
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Alabama, Ten
nessee, Georgia. Ohio and Indiana, have been
fully five times that number; nearly twothirds
of these sufferers were given up as hopeless
invalids, some to be blind, some deaf and
others prey to ecrofua, chronic kidney dis
ease, consumption, destructive female troubles.
Among others. hundreds of children hopeless
ly deformed. But behold how many Of them
see and hear, while nearly all are rapidly
being cured.
The doctor is surrounded with tbs finest and
most extensive collection of instruments ever
imported to this country for examining and
treating all forms OF chronic ailments OF the
head, face. eye, ear throat. chest, lungs, heart
stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, bowels, repro
ductive organs, urinary organs, brain and
nervous system, paralysis grOwthe, joint dis
eases, piles, hip Diseases scatica, skin diseases
ulcers and every form of weakness Of either
mite or female.
The doctor specific medicines go straight TO
tho diseased organ, and can be plainly felt at
their use is begun. Theyare pleasant to take,
mild but searching in action yet agroe with
the most delicate lady or child, do not reduce
the strength, and can be used while at the
usual occupation, as many patients still able
for hard work and close attention to business
are often slowly, surely, yet unconsciOusly
dying, knowing themselves i'll, yet deceived
into false security, they procrastinste and
put of the matter until the case Ia rendered
incurable. The doctor earnestly requests all
persons under treatment to write him Often s2
advice may be necessary week after w0eg s1
order to push any given case on as rapidly "a
possible, and good commOn-sense statement
on the part of the patient by mail is the next

SHARKS ANp suckERs.



The sharks in the marine section OF
the aquarium play every day and all
the day to big crowds. The sharks do
not seem to enjoy II much. There are
only two of them left now; there were
six at first, but the biggest one, a Ave
footer and three of the smaller ones
died. Chicago-made salt water does
not seem TO agree with them at all.
Some folks who look at these sharks
indulge themselves In the pleasing
fancy that they are looking at real
vicious man-caters, regular monsters
of the deep that go around amusing
themselves by swapping legs off sailors
These fellows are no man-eaters,
though; they are just common sand
sharks caught in pound nets off the Car
DINA coast. They are of species that
seldom grows to be over five or six feet
long, They could not eat q man il
they tried, but they can make II lively
for the fish in sight when they get
hungry.
But whether these sharks are man
eaters or not they look exceedingly
sharky and wicked. They are long and
thin and clipper-like, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
back under their inquisitive shouts,
and the mouths have multitudes of
needle-lile white teeth. One of these
sharks, the larger one, has q
constant companion that causes a
good deal of comment and guessing
among visitors. 1t is slender fish
about eight inches long that has at
tached itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin of the sharks back,
1t sticks closer than brother or a
leech. Some of the visitors think it is
young shark. The guard will tell
you that it is pilot fish. but that
shows that there are some things which
even Columbian guard does not know,
The fish is what the Carolina fishermen
call sucker fish, remora. If you ask
Prof. Forbes of the fish commission he
will tell you that it is the ectieneis nau-
crates of lime.
That is a pretty imposing name for so
little fish, but the creature itself is
one of the most interesting of swim
ming things The remora has set in
the top of its fat head an al'suclSer
plate, whereby it has an easy time. The
remora attaches itself by this sucker
plate to the first big fish that comes
along and rides around just as lazily as
fat woman in roller chair. What
ever the big fish gets to eat the remora
has also its share; it catches the crumbs
and leavings. There is no fish that has
more fun and an easier time than this
remora.
Some of the West Indians make this
parasite work for living though. They
use him for an animated fishhook.
They tie a string to his tail and let him
into the water to swim around until he
falls afoul of turtle. Then when he
has laid firm hold of the turtle the wise
West Indian bags the whole outfit and
sets his remora for another turtle.

TIMELY FIELD NOTES.

THE need of ice is now being felt by
a great many persons. It is neither
difficult nor expensive to put up small
amount of ice. Suppose you try it next
winter
Do NOT allow harvesting to keep the
field of late corn from having needed
blowing. The last blowing destroys
many weeds and usually increases the
yield materially.
PASTURES which are infested with
ragweeds can be materially benefited
by moving the weeds late this month
before the seeds have matured. Com
paratively few weeds will ripen seeds
if this is done.
DESTROY noxious weeds along the
roadside. Many of them are distributed
and allowed to seed there and soon get
out on the adjoining farms. District
road supervisors should see that they
are not allowed to mature seed.
The mower, binder and rake which
have stood outside since harvest time
last year are in poor condition and will

for That Purpose.
Owing to the facility with which
farmers can supply themselves from the
beedsmen, few save their own seeds
now as they did in former times. 1t is
so convenient to look over the assert
ments to be found in the seed stores
and select what one wants for the gar
den for small consideration that saw
ing seeds at the right time is scarcely
thought of by most families having
gardens Still there are in many cases
manifest advantages in saving at least
a portion of the seeds which may be
wanted the next season, says the South.

ing, curing and preserving them from
injury until wanted for use. Do not
take seeds from the plant until perfect
ly mature. Select from the best stalks
and spread for few days in dry
room, and when they have been care
fully cleaned put in small bags, label
and hang out of harms way until
planting time. 1t is a good plan to
single out the plants from which the
seeds are to be saved some time before
the ripening and note such as are the
most productive and vigorous.

The music came softly, sweetly out
TO the old man and his daughter as they
sat, half reclining, on the luxurious

The myriad of gay lights from the

the ripples of the lagoon. High up

looking down on the beautiful scene,
while all around the lagoon, sitting
upon the wide rail of the fence, lean

Possibly the old man thought Brown
ing was one of her old dude lovers;
they all looked consumptive; probably
he had croaked in Venice. The old man
sympathetically sighed.
'Jf Byron and Browning could have
lived to see this, papa, what poetry
we would have from them. They never
saw anything to equal this.
"Well, guess there air few towns
could beat this SHOW" the old man
complacently remarked.
