A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A Fruit Girl Who Became the Wife Of
an Ohio Legislator.

An interesting and romantic bit of
truth can be told concerning the early
life Of the wife OF n of Ohio's most
gifted Legislators. Twenty years ago in
a small Ohio town nestled among the
hills of the Hooking valley lived a little
girl of 8 years, with black eyes, short,
curly hair, clear brunette skin and
known by the appropriate name, Gypsy.
The men who were commercial travel
ers in those days who were frequently
along the road will remember Gypsy
as she swung herself on the car steps
as the train pulled in, with u blue coat
and cap and n large basket of fruit and
confectionery on her arm. She would
pass from coach to coach, disposing of
her wares. She rode to and from the
depot in the great bus or on passing
drays and would make frequent sales
en- route. Gypsy was a general favorite
both with the citizens on the train and
with the travelling public. The little
girl was the main support of the family,
as both the father and brother were ad-
dicted to drink. At the age of fourteen
Gypsy realized she could not well con-
tinue the work she had so long and sue.
cessfully engaged in. The operators
and depot employees were greatly in
terested in the child, and a generous,
we'll to do. elderly man rendered her as
q loan a sum sufficient to meet neces-
sary expenses while she studied teleg-
raphy. The offer was excepted. Later
she went to Columbus and accepted a
position Is operator, and it was here
the legislator met her, admired, wooed
and Vol her. Her husband was elected
to a second term as representative and
proved an active, valuable member of
the house. His wife was always ad
mired and loved. She was always bright
and vivacious. Her many friends were
gratifed that her lines should have
fallen in such pleasant places, as ehe so
justly deserved them should. -Colum.

A Wonderful COnquerOr.

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from generation to generation, il
is found in nearly every family, in
some form. 1t may make its appear
ance in dreadful running sores, in
swelling in the neck, or goitre, or in
eruptions of varied forms. Attacking
the mucous membrane it may be known
as catarrh, or developing in the lungs
it may be, and often is, the prime
cause of consumption. In whatever
form scrofula may manifest itself,
Hoods Sarsaparilla is its inveterate
foe and conqueror. This medicine has
such powerful Alternative and vitalizing
effects upon the blood that every trace
OF impurity is expelled, and the blood
Is made rich, pure and healthy.

We buy for our own table consumption russet oranges in preference to bright oranges. and yet in our official work we are in constant receipt Of requests from orange growers for methods de stroying the rust mite. The harden ing of the skin of the orange from the work of the rust mite undoubtedly keeps them juicy, improves them for shipment, and retards decay The selection of bright oranges was fad among growers and wholesale buyers which did not last.

At the same time a plant or plant or gan is never sensitive to a single stim- ulus only, snd different stimuli don ot produce one and the same effect in a cell.
