Effects OF an Artificial Flower on

Effects OF an Artificial Flower on a
woman's Sense Of Smell.
A young lady endowed with the most
sensitive nerves mentioned one evening

said she, "giveS me 4 severe headache
and faintness." The conversation was
interrupted by the visit Of friend,

at the outset, and acts as an efficient anodyne
upon the afflicted nervous system. Take time

Warm Places.

A comparison of the maximum tenn

is by far the hottest. This vast plain,
which extends 100 miles from east to
west and 1000 from north to south, has
temperature of $50 degrees Fahren-
heit in the hottest days OF summer: 1t
would be impossible for any one but
the acclimatized Moors, Berbers and
Arabs to live, even for day, in the
heart of the rainless Sahara. In spite
of the fact that the days are extremely
hot, the nights are nearly always un-
comfortably cold, and the travellers are

Traced by His Thumb Print.

In course of transit between New
York and New Orleans packet of pa
per money had been opened and its
contents considerably reduced. Two
of the seals had been broken and one
had been resealed by thumb pressure.
Mr. Carvalho, an expert in matters OF
Identification, endeavored to find out
the thief, and with this view
obtained wax impressions of the
thumbs Of all the officials of the ex-
press company through whose hands
the packet was known to have passed.
The impressions were photographed
and enlarged, and one of them clearly
agreed with an enlarged photograph
of the thumb-impresse seal. The
thief was thus detected.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually. cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but 1t is man
nfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

The Change to winter Feeding.

Live stock suffers by sudden
change from the green food OF good
pastures to a diet Of dry hay, or
straw and grain. AS the frost or the
drouth Kills the green forage crops,
the stock should have an occasional
feed from the winter wheat fields or
turnips. mangels. sugar beets, car
rots, or other roots may be fed to ad-
vantage with the dry hay or fodder.
An early sown field of rye will make
choice pasture for fall feeding. Stock
OH ovcrstocked, or on dried up past
ures, should be fed green corn fodder.
either in the stable yard or In the
field. To gradually change to dry
food. fresh sorghum fodder. cowpeas,
vetches, Hungarian grass, late oats
with peas or other good soiling crops
may also be fed in the same manner.
II such green foods are not at hand.
then raw potatoes, roots, or wheat
pasture should be resorted to-

Unless the season is unfavorable,
the markets are almost invariably
glutted with fruit and produce in
the fall and winter. Everybody then
wants to sell, to realize money for
current expenses, and prices are too
often lweak and unremunerative
The p oduction Of early stuf-aspar-
agus, strawberries, and other vege-
tables and fruits, Is not so common
as the staple crops, and when a good
market is convenient this early truck
is generally the most profitable. The
Spring and early summer market is
better paying one than the fall
market. This is a great point and
well worthy the farmers best consid

Disarming the Lightning.

The continued and careful observa-
tions which the meteorologists of the
world have male during the past
twenty years only serve to strengthen
the remark made by the author of
"Abdills Theory Of Electric Storms, :"
shat the majority of fatal and de-
structive lightning strokes occur in
level, open country" Trees, villages
and thickly built up towns and cities,
by their numerous projections and
network Of rails, wires, etc., seem to
neutralize or scatter the electric forces,
thereby protecting both the animate
and inanimate from direct strokes of
the death-dealing fluid.
