Is OLD AGE PITIABLE?
NOT WHILE VIGOR AND ZEST IN
LIVING LASTS.
Bismarck, Gladstone and Holmes Full
of Years and Honor.
They Keep Their Blood Well Stocked
Their Nerves Well Fed.

Some people carefully disguise the fact.
But a coat of paint on an old building
only makes it look smart it doesn't keep
the rickety old staircases from creaking
nor make the framework stronger.
What is needed is fresh bricks and
mortar.
Fresh blood and new tissues are the
building materials that tired human
bodies need. Paine's celery compound
supplies all the clements for building up
the WORKOUT, exhausted nerves and
tissues.
One is never older than he feels. Many
are young at TO- and the world is full OF
men and women who are old in heart
and spirits a t 80.
Nothing ages one like illness.
To keep young, keep we'll; keep the
nerves calm, the blood ruddy, the system
well fed. And when the sudden attack
of fever or the heavy cold comes, the
sturdy, because well-nourished, body will
resist and prevent calamitous results.
All over the country there are hard
worked business men, and men in public
offices, subjected to incessant criticism
and fearful nervous strain, who ap-
preclate the saving power of Prof.
Phelps remarkable discovery, Paine's
celery compound. In the thousands OF
cases where overweight brains have at
last refused the sleep that they so vitality
needed, this great modern nerve nutri-
ment has brought the happiest results.
Multltudes of women reduced in strength,
halt sick and on the road to becoming
lifelong invaGds, have sent in heartfelt
stories OF their rapid gain in vigor after
trial OF Pa1ne's celery compound.
1T takes years off their aching
shoulders
As the years go on, the regular tick
tick OF the heart and the rhythmic action
OF the digestive organs and the brain
slow up and the strength must be
economical. The important organs need
more frequent assistance and encourage
ment. Paine's celery compound gives
just the needed stimulus to digestion and
assimilation that the system requires.
1t pu.ifes the slowly moving blood of
any bad humor that its stagnant flow is
apt to engender, and thus removes rheu-
matism, neuralgia, heart palpitation,
nervous weakness, sleeplessness and
troubles with kidneys, liver and stomach.
1t was a tavorite remark of the famous
DR.. Parr when JOG years old, that he
had always taken care to keep his body
well nourished. Pure blood and healthy
activity OF the nervous system makes a
happy, hopeful, useful old age. Paine's
celery compound makes people well.

A New Departure In Fairs.

The Farmers Review calls attention
to a novelty in way of fairs reported
from Peru, Ind: The first day of the
street fair proved that the exhibition,
which continued one week, was to be a
complete success. Broadway, the prin-
cipal business street, was crowded from
one extremity to the other with exhibits
It is an attraction somewhat similar to
a county fair. but with the exception of
being held on the streets and being free
to everybody. All the merchants erected
booths in front of their stores and dis
played their goods, and in the center of
the streets the stock and other farm ex-
hibits were shown

EGGS IN WINTER.
How q Small Flock of Mixed Hens Were
Made Profitable.

How q Small Flock OF Mixed Hens Were
Made Profitable.
1t is very desirable to have hens lay
well in cold weather, when eggs bring a
good price. To succeed in this is within
the reach of all who keep fowls. 1t can
not be accomplished without effort,
however, which must be kept up as
long as stormy or cold weather contin-
ues.
Much depends, of course upon the
breed of fowls. An American Agricul-
turist correspondent, writing on the sub
ject, says:
I am inclined to think that flock of
mixed hens will produce more eggs
than any one kind. Not only does my
own experience teach this, but observa
ton among other poultry keepers as
well. While some breeds may we'll be
called general purpose fowls, the Leg
horns are probably unexcelled for eggs.
1t is useless to look for large quantities
of eggs from the heavier breeds. Where
one wants both eggs and market fowls
it is well to keep more than one breed.
An entire flock of uniform color is more
pleasing to the eye. but a mixture is
more satisfactory as an all around flock.
Last winter had flock of 35 hens,
ranging from pullets to hens years
old. They were mixed lot Some
Plymouth Rocks, some grade Lang
shans, few Light Brahmas and a
goodly proportion of Brown Leghorns
and their grades. They had been laying
well all summer, with scarcely any de-
crease in eggs production at molting
time, as the pullets were then beginning
to lay. At the beginning of cold wealth
er their house was lined with building
paper and six or eight inches of sand
thrown on the earth floor. AS long as
the ground was bare they were allowed
the run of the yard, but were kept shut
in on cold and stormy days. The feed
was a warm mash in the morning, with
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in it.
This mash is very easily made.
At breakfast time every morning the
teakettle was filed with water and put
over to heat By the time breakfast was
over the water was hot. 1t was put into
large pail and stirred with mixture
of bran and middlings as thick as it
could be. On the floor we had guam
tity of cut straw and chaff, and into
this were thrown four quarts of mixed
corn, oats and wheat at about o'clock
in the afternoon, SO that the hens could
scratch it out before dark. Fresh water.
with the chill off, was before them ev-
cry day. All the meats scraps from the
table and the offal of butchering days,
bones with some meat on, all went to
furnish animal food in absence of in
sects. Now for results. On no day
through the entire winter did they lay
less than half dozen eggs, and through
January and February the average ran
from 10 to 20 eggs every day, with &C
casionally as many as "a. In extreme
cold weather they were kept in their
house all the time The house is 6 by
"a feet, and besides the hens there were
two cocks and ten hen turkeys kept in

Agricultural News and Notes.

Corn is one of the cash crops this
year.
Considerable waste molasses is pro-
duced at beet sugar factories in France
and Germany. The latest plan is to mix
it with bran, meal or palm nut meal,
dry into cakes and use for feeding cat
tie. 1t has not given good results with
other stock
New York is to have Wool Elk
change, which will handle imported
wool almost entirely. An immense
building is to be erected where wool
may be sorted, graded and stored and
held or sold on certificates
A remarkable change has taken place
in the egg industry through the intro
auction of cold storage appliances.
Rural New orlzer says that the feed
ing of wheat to live stock will have a
doubIy good effect 1t will decrease the
market supply and perhaps help up the
price, and Will show farmers the advan-
tage of feeding some more heterogeneous
food than corn.

The latest novelty is artificial

JUMPING BEANS.
To THE CALIFORNIAN:

To THE CALEDoNIAN:
Your readers may be interested in
an account given by Prof. c. V.
Riley, U. S. Entomologist, of the
Mexican Jumping Seeds" or
Devils Beaus," exhibited a few
weeks ago in Mr.. Bingham's
window.
After speaking of the triangular
shape of the seeds, Prof. Riley says,
"They not only roll from one side to
another, but actually move by jerks
and jumps, and will, when very
active, jump at least line from any
object they may be resting on. To
hard seed seem little less than
miraculous. They are caused by a
plump white worm which occupies
about one-hfth Of the interior, the
occupied seed, being, in fact, but
hollow shell, with an inner lining of
silk which the larva has spun. The
larva looks very much like the
common apple worm, and belongs
to the same genus. 1t resembles it
further, in remaining for long time
in the full grown larva state before
Transforming, SO that the seeds will
keep up their motion throughout
most of the winter months. When
about to transform, which is usually
in the months of January and
February, it cuts a neat, circular
door in the convex side Of its house,
strengthens the same with silk, spins
a loose tube of silk within the seed,
and therein transforms to the pupa
state. The moth soon afterwards
pushes its way out from the little
door prepared for it,
The shrub which bears these seeds
is a poisonous Euphorbia called the
"Arrow-weed." Its pod, maturing
in the months OF June and July, con-
tains from three to five seeds in each
of which is worm. This is the
only insect known which has the
power OF moving its habitation in
this manner. Perhaps it is thus en-
abled to work the seed, when it falls
to the ground, in more sheltered
position that it would otherwise
have.
The boys and girls, possessing the
Jumping Seeds" may like to watch
their development in the spring.

The Companions Calendar.

THE YOUTHS COMPANION has Just
published a calendar for 1895 which is a
work of art-indeed, three weeks of art
in one. Scenes typical of three seasons
of the year, Winter, Summer, Autumn,
are shown. The first picture represents
mother and son pausing in their walk
in a snowy field, across which a rabbit
is running, much to the amusement OF
the boy.
The artist IN the summer scene has
pictured three children rowing down a
winding river; and were it not for the
apples which fill the pan in her arms, one
would scarcely imagine that the graceful
girl in the third pictures was typical of
Autumn. Around the picture are group
ed the monthly calendars, tied together
by ribbons.
This attractive calendar and a full
Prospectus for 1895 will be sent free up
on application, to any one considering a
subscription to THE Companion. From
no other paper can so much entertain
ment and instruction be obtained for so
little money (only $1.75 year,. If you
subscribe now you will receive the paper
until January 1, 1895, and for full year
from that date, including the Thanks
giving, Christmas and New Years

The Downfall of Hill.

No moderate and calm words seem
to be adequate to express the salts
faction with which all friends of hon
est politics must view the electoral
returns from the Empire state and
the national metropolis. The down
fall OF David Bennett Hill is an event
for national thanksgiving. The true
way to state the case is not that
Morton was elected, it is that Hill
was defeated. The stupendous fig
ures prove it more cOnclusively than
any words can express it. Morton
pOlled the full republican vote, and
he polled the votes of thousands
of democrats who, on straight polit
lcal grounds, saw reason to aban-
don for the time being their own
party. He gained to, by the deliber-
ate abstention from the polls OF multi
tudes of democrats who, because of
their disgust with the failure and
false pretense of the national demo-
cratic party, were unwilling to cast

Rapid sprint of a Needle.

The record for the rapid travel Of a
needle through human flesh was
broken in Il case which recently came
under The notice Of the surgeons at
Hahncmann .ospital Philadelphia. A
large needle, which became imbedded
in Sc back of the left thigh Of Mary
A. Walsh, Il domestic IN the employ of
Mrs. Mary X. Bardsley, 1913 Arch
street. had worked itself through live
inches of lleshy tissue in little over
three days. SAYS the Record. The wo-
man was sewing ON Thursday morn
ing. and it was on that day that the
needle IA some strange way must have
penetrated the back Of the thigh. She
felt some slight pain, but was not seri-

dal the puin seemed to shift trifle,
but she did not pay particular atten.

FOREMOST MAN IN ALL THE WORLD
Extract from Col. IneersoiI's Eulogism
or Abraham Lincoln.

@Lincolu believed in the sovereignty
Of the people--in the supremacy OF the
nation in the territorial integrity Of
the republic.
"Linc0In assumed the leading part
in the greatest drama ever acted upon
the stage Of continent. His criti-
cisms OF military movements. his cor
respondence with his generals and
others on the conduct Of the war show
that lie was at all times master of tho
situation THAT he was natural STRAIT
egisi, that he appreciated the difficult
les and advantages Of every kind, aud
that in the still aud mental field of
war he stood the peer Of any man be-
meath the Nag.
ain passions storm he stood UNI
moved. patient, just, and candid. In
his brain there was no cloud and in his
heart no hate. He longed to save the
south as we'll as north, to see the ma
ton one and free. He lived until the
end was known. He lived until the
confederacy was dead--until Lee sur
rendered, until Davis fled, until the
doors Of Libby prison opened, until
the republic was supreme.
"IIe lived until Lincoln and liberty
were united forever. lie lived until
there remained for him nothing to do
SO great as he had done. What be did
vas worth living for, worth dying for.
lie lived until lie stood in the midst
Of universal joy, beneath the out
stretched wings of peacethe fore
most man in all the world. Aud then
the horror came. Night fell Oh noon.
The savior Of the republic, the BREAKER
of chains, the liberator Of millions, he
who had assured freedom to the free,
was dead.
Upon his brow fame placed the I'M
mortal wreath. For the first time in
tine history of the world nation bowed
and wepi. The memory of Lincoln is
the strongest. tenderest tie that binds
all hearts together now and holds all
states beneath 4 nations flag"

ANTS IN FLORIDA.
More Of Them There than In Any Other
Part Of the world.


There are more ants tn the square
mile in Florida than in any other eouu-
try in the world. SAYS a writer in the
Savannah News. There are ants which
will measure more than half an inch in
length, and then there are ants so
small tina. they can scarcely be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There
are red ants and black ants. and
troublesome ants. But as bad as they
are, have never heard of them eating
out the seat of mans trousers. as 4
missionary, the Rev. Mr.. Wilson, once
told the writer he saw the army ants
do in India while the man was sitting
on the earth for few minutes beside
him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
aud actually destroy the bed. They
win suck the life out OF acres of young
cucumbers and melon plants, uproo;
strawberry plants, or cover the buds
with earth to sucn an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
