Peach baskets in a few weeks will be-

great demand, and huge trees are being
gnawed up by the Unsuitable machines

sionally birch, and costs 81 cord stand

logs are then plunged into. a hot water

they are taken out, the bark stripped off,

Two years ago John P. Elmborg of st.
Paul was injured while boarding cable
car. He sued the company for damages,
but lost his case owing to insufficient
witnesses. A few nights ago he dreamed
that he met a friend who told him that
the names of the witnesses of the acci-
dent would be found on the back of a
letter received two days before the acci-
dent occurred, together with the state
ment that the casualty was the result of
the gripman's carelessness. He also
dreamed that all the witnesses against
him would commit suicide. The follow
ing morning Elmborg found the letter
described, and on its back were the
names of 10 witnesses. Four of these
have committed suicide, and two more
witnesses have died natural Deaths

The Tom bstone.

Many seem to think it would be a
disgrace to the family living, if their
dead do not have tombstone erected
to their grave. Well it is all right
that the living should erect some
thing durable to mark and name
the grave, but further than this a
tombstone serves no purpose further
than measures the size of the living S
purse, or their vanity. If a man or
woman has lived for forty, fifty or
sixty years, and leave nothing bet
ter to perpetuate their memory than
a stone, their life has been failure.
1t is claimed that the largest pyr-
amid of Egypt was erected by Che
ops to perpetuate his memory; grant
it, and what is the result? Cheops
is as much blank to the world as if
he never had lived. All that is
known of HIM is that he shut up the
places of worship, and the people
hated him so, they rejoiced when he
died.
1t is really question whether the
stone, save of the ordinary type, is
credit or not. We look about
and we see some of the greatest men
and women Of earth without even a
board to mark their graves; while on
the other hand we see numbers of the
greatest scoundrels of earth with
monuments whose tops are much
nearer Heaven than those persons
souls will ever be.
The true monument is the one that
leaves so deep mark of respect and
gratitude in the hearts of the living
for acts of the dead while on earth,
that they cannot be forgotten while
one lives to recount them. This will
carry the memory of the dead past
the lifetime of all who lived with
them, and after that if it is not worth
enough to live in books,itl not worth
perpetuating in marble.

Uses and Abuses ofTobacco.

All plants have their uses although
we do not always know what these
uses are. There are plants that are
very poisonous to person in health
but cure some diseases. For instance,
the deadly nightshade which, as
medicine, is called oelladonna. We
do not find many good uses for tobac.
co, although there are few. Tobac.
CO is used 10 make kind Of tea
which is sprinkled over cabbage
leaves to kill the insects. So people
use the dried leaves TO put around the
edge Of carpets to keep away the
moths. Sometimes the wet leaves
are bound over the bites Of poisonous
insects and snakes so l have heard. |
have read also that the leaves may
poison an ordinary sore. So we find
q very few uses for tobacco, but the
abuses are many. 1t is chewed
smoked and snuffed and some people
even swallow it. Men smoke it, chew
it and eat it but we catch the old
women using snuff. Papa saw some
women in southern Missouri smoking
but they we're that kind that don't
comb their hair more than once in q
month. 1t has pretty bad effect on
the boy that takes his first chew. l
have never experienced it yet nor do
l want to. Is that the way with you?

Lerience and was very sick, but if we
boys want to grow strong and have

Economy in Fashionable Dressmak-
ing

Though passing through commercial crisis Of
unusual intensity, we may safely count on natur-
al re. action at not far distant day, for the un-
imitess resources Of this great country are bound
10 bring good times back again. Asiong, however.
as the financial uncertainty lasts, many woman
will feel that she must Cnrtai in some degree, the
expenses of her wardrobe. Now is the time to
subscribe to irst.class fashion magazine, which
will not only illustrate the current styles, but, at
the same time, teach how to make them by means
Of a series of practical lessons. This is most
judicious economy which can be accomplished
without any peiceptable chaI &c in ones mode of
dressing, and without consequently attracting the
critical notice of ones neighbors. The Mcdowell
Fashion Journals are calculated to fill this need.
They are the finest publications of their kind in
either Paris or New York, and contain, precisey,a
series of lessons teaching practical dressmaking.
Ladies' as well as dressmakers, will find q still
further advantage in them, for Messrs. A. Nc
Dowe Co. reproduce any of fther Illustrations Tor
indeed, for that matter, any design clipped from
any other fashion joarDaD in the form of made up
paper modeIs-with fat patterns besides, exactly
representing every detail Of the original. This re-
duces artistic dressmaking to the easiest and SIM
plest method. The most popular of these Fashion
Magazines are ala Mode de Paris, ,""Paris Album
of Fashion," "The French Dressmaker." and
"La Mode" The former two cost only SO 80 each
per annum, or S5 cents copy. "The French
Dressmaker'' is $300a year, while ala Mode
costs only S1.50 year, or Is cents copy, and Is
the best well the cheapest fashion journal for
the home. If you are unable to produce any of
these magazines at your newsdealers, do not ac-
cept any substitute, but Apply directly TO Messrs.

Ohio Democratic Platform.

We hereby approve the platform o.
the Democratic party adopted by its ma
tional convention at Chicago and especially
those portions of it, referring to the tariff
and to currency legislation. We congratu
late the country upon the early prospect Of
measures of relief as outlined by the presi
dents late message to congress, and we
have confidence that the Democratic con
gress will devise laws to furnish such re
lief
The financial situation is the unfortunate
legacy of the Republican administration
it Is the natural result Of the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava
gance of the Republican party recently in
power, and the creation and fostering Of
trusts and corrupt combinations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, tc
create distress in the money Of the country
and to paralyze its business.
We recommend that national banks may
be permitted to issue their currency to an
amount equal to the par value of United
States bonds. which they may deposit witt
the treasurer of the United States, to the
end that the volume Of currency may be
Immediately increased.
The interest of every true soldier anc
pensioner demands that the pension rolli
should be made and preserved as a roll Of
honor We believe in q Just and liberia
and favor granting them all that patri
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand. But the granting of pen
sions of fraudulent claims, or for partissc
purposes, or department decisions in CON
travention of law, as practiced under the
last administration, needs to be investigat
ed and corrected SO that the unselfish valoi
of the American soldier may remain un
tarnished.
.,1o
the rightful claims of no Union soldier to o
pension shall be denied and the allowance
of any worthy pensioner shall not be dis
turbed.
We condemn the unbusinesslike admin.
istration of state affairs under Governor
Mckinley, deplore the official scandals and
defalcations under it, and denounce the
condoning of official crimes which have
brought humiliation upon our people. We
denounce the reckless extravaganza of the
large Republican majority in the roth gen.
eral assembly which appropriated for cur
rent expenses about S600,000 in excess OF
the current revenue and added almost $780,
600, 900 to the local bonded Indebtedness OF
the state, by laws in the main unconstitu.
tional. We demand that an end be put to
such robbery of the taxpayers.
The Democratic party expresses its conf.
dence in the ability of Hon. Calvin S. Brice
of the United States senate to materially
assist the Democratic majority in the con.
gress of the United States to extricate the
great commercial interests of this country
from their present distressed condition.
The country has abiding faith in the in
tegrity the patriotism and exalted courage
of President Cleveland. True to the peo-
pie and watchful of their interests, he will
enforce honest and economical methods in
the conduct of public affairs, and secure to
every section of the country the blessing OF
good government.
