the Torch of Christianity.
Miss Annie Seasholtz, the subject of
our sketch, is the daughter of Charles
Seasholtz of Northumberland, Pa. Her
father died when she was years of
age, and the mother with her three
young children removed to the home
of her parents in Paint township. In
1854 she came with her family to
Northumberland. Annie was converted
at the Baptist church in 1881 She
was pupil of the public schools and
graduated at the high school in the
'.class of 80" About four years ago
she first thought of devoting her life
to mission work. In 500 she entered
DIR. Simpsons missionary training in
stitute, attended two years and grad
uated as fully competent to become n
worker in foreign missionary fields.
On Sunday evening, Sept. 20, fare

the Baptist church in honor of Miss
Seasholtz. On Wednesday, Sept. %,
she bid farewell to home and friends

MINIS Inhumanitv to Himself.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages
which would disgrace the savage, man per-
petrates upon his own system by swallowing
drastic prgatives which convulse his stom-
ach, agoni2e his intestines and weaken his
system, Many people constantly do this un-
der the impression that medicaments only
which are violent in their action, and par
ticularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irrep-
arabic injury to health is wrought under this
mistaken idea. The laxative which most
nearly approaches the benefcent action of
nature is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is painless but thorough, and invigorates
the intestinal canal instead of weakening
and irritating it, The liver and the stomach
share in the benign discipline instituted by
this comprehensive medicine, whose health
full influence is felt throughout the system.
Malarious, rheumatic, kidney and nervous
complaints succumb to 1t.

A General Purpose Cow.

A good many farmers are coming
to believe that there is general pur-
pose farm COW, in spite of all that
has been said to the contrary. By a
general purpose COW is meant, of
course one which is good for butter
and milk, and which is sufficiently
well bred to impress all her good
characteristics on her progeny. She
may be Of any one OF several breeds,
but 1t is great mistake to suppose
that she may be of no breed at all,
for then she would not possess this
last and most desirable quality. This
ideal farm COW should have a large
frame so that her male calves should
he valuable beeves She should be
well pedigreed, so that the heiEer
calves would have a promise to be-
cone as good mixers and butter
makers as herself. She should be
handled for dairy purposes from the
time she drops her first calf, so as to
promote the tendency toward a long
period of milking. There are many
farms upon which such a COW will
prove OF greater value than one
handled especially for milk or butter

building Up a Flock.

On farm one Of the cheapest as
well as one Of the best ways of build
ing up Gock Of sheep is to select the
best of the ewes and breed to full
blood ram Of a good breed-one that
is best adapted to your locality and
the purpose for which you are keep
ing sheep. Keep on selecting the
ewes, selecting new ram every two
years in order to infuse new blood.

make a growth of nearly three quar-
ters of u pound day for the first
28O days of It's life, when it becomes
excellent mutton For 600 days it
will make nearly a half a pound

pound at the farm; but such sheep,
too, having large carcass will have
a large fleece in proportion.

Women Doctors.

Medicine as a profession for women
is less than tlttY years old. DR., Mary
Zakrzewsia Of Boston, has recently
published an interesting account Of
the early struggles of the pioneers In
this particular field. Harriet Hunt
and Elizabeth Blackwell were stirred
by the idea that an Important work
might be done by well-instructed wo-
men.
The naturalization of this view
resulted in complete social ostraclsm,
impossible to be endured by any but
the strongest and most courageous
women. No woman doctor ever earned
a living before 1860. No respectable
family In any commonly respectable
nelghborhood would let rooms to a
woman physician. Even when friends
gave her shelter, business card or
sign was not allowed. The lack Of
practical training was really the
stumbling block and the cause Of all
this prejudice. Medical Record.

The Care of Fond.

1t is very common practice to nut
away food that comes from the store
in the brown paper in which the
dealer wraps it, While this may be
convenient, it certainly is open to Sc
rious objection on the score of health
and cleanliness. Most of the cheap
papers are made from materials
hardly mp to the standard Of the
houSekeeper's ideas Of neatness, and,
although IA certain degree of heat is
employed in their preparation, it is
by no means sufficient to destroy all
of the disease germs with which the
raw material may be filled. When
it is taken into consideration that
waste paper of all sorts and those
used for all purposes are gathered up
and worked over into new paper to
wrap our food in, it behooyes the
housewife who cares for the health
of her family to see to it that arti-
Giles of food remain in contact with
such wrappings the very shortest pos
sible time. 1t is not unusual to see
meat butter cheese, and other ex-
tremely succeptable articles put away
in the very cheapest, commonest
brown paper a practice which is usu-
ally discontinued forthwith as soon
as realizing sense of the objection
able material is borne in upon the
mind. Immediately upon the receipt
Of soft groceries or fruits they should
be put into earthenware dishes and
under no circumstances should they
be allowed to remain in the papers
in which they were delivered. 1t is
useless to expect that better class
Of paper will be employed, and so
we may as well make up our minds
to guard against trouble by shifting
all articles of food to some dish that
is absolutely free from contaminat-
ing elements. New York Ledger.

Good Farms and Good Farmers.

The first essential of good farming
is good farm, says the American
Agriculturist, and a good farmer Is
pretty certain to have good farm.
That close observation and sound
practical Judgment requisite to sue
cess In farming will enable its possess
sor to select a good farm. liza good
farmer by any chance or accident
inheritance for instance-comes into
possession Of an irreclaimably poor
farm, he will not keep it long. He
will not waste his energies In an at
tempt to make money from poor
farm. What kind of a farm would a
good farmer select? He would avoid
extremes selecting neither light
sandy or gravelly soil, nor a stiff,
heavy clay. Especially would he
avoid a cold, wet, shallow soil with
an impervious hardpan subsoil. a.
very light soil Will not produce large,
paying crops without toomuch outlay
for manures. A stiff clay soil too
much subjected to climatic condi-
lions. When the season is just right,
neither too wet nor too dry, it may
be cultivated well and produce large
crops, but in very wet or very dry
season it is pretty sure to battle all
the efforts Of the farmer, and result
in failure. Draining will do much
toward ameliorating such soils but
even then there are too many daysln
the year when they are untillable,
and it is very difficult to accomplish
the necessary work in the proper sea-
son for plant growth.
