A Piece of News for Those Who Have
 Weak Stomachs.

The stomach, liver and bowels cause more trouble than any other part Of the body. There are thousands of persons 'whose food don't do them the good it should. They have bad taste in mouth. coated tongue. constipation, gas in stomach. fulness or distress after meals, bloating and beiching of wind.

EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG

EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG to the dyspeptic. The. world is upside down; the times are out of joint; he's ready to turn his back upon his best friend.
 Now, the thing that oftenest t wrong with dyspeptics, is their choice of a remedy. There are drugs and medicines on the one hand--the Carlsbad Sprudel on the other. They can't both bs right; there's too much differ. ence in their methods and in their results.

Another School Ticket.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL and COURIER:
 A large meeting of the women voters of the New Haven school district, held yesterday afternoon at the United church chapel, nominated and agreed to support at the polls next Monday, the following for members of the school board:
 MT. Morris F. Tyler, Mrs. Sarah B.. Newton, Mrs. Mary B. Moody.
 MT. Tyler is well known to be deeply interested in the schools and competent to render the very best service.
 We believe the women nominated are entirely competent, conscientious and well fitted by natural endowments and special education to be useful mem- bers of the board. They have both been educated as practical school teach CTS and physicians. Both are women of good judgment, sound practical sense ami matrcnly dignity. We believe that if they are elected they will be found to be valuable assistants in the work of the board, especially in care and at tention to the details of school work.
 They therefore earnestly appeal to all voters of the district-men and women alike-to support the ticket they have nominated.
 Antoinette A. Rogers, Abby B. Shel- don, Amy D. Fogg, committee.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The women voters of New Haven propose to make an energetic and sys- tematic effort to secure for their sex representation on the board of educa- ton. Parents-fathers and mothers alike-both endorse the movement with interest; they recognize that women, on whom devolves the care of children in their home life, may well add to the efficiency of the schools by the direct exercise of their influence in regulating the details of school life.
 The day of the election is close at hand; the female voters are few in num- Der; money, with which to put in mo- tion the necessary machinery, is scarce i; the women must depend for success on the intrinsic value of the ticket they put in the field, and on the justict, fair-mindedness and common sense of the community They call on the men to stand by them in the effort they are making for the common good. They put before the voters of New Haven men and women alike-the names of Mrs. Sarah B. Newton of. 89 Sherman avenue, and Mrs. Mary Moody of Fair Haven, both of whom are women of ability and good judgment, and also are physicians of experience; and with these women they nominate MT. Morris F. Tyler, the value of ,whose services on the board of education, if they are secured, cannot be over-estimated.
 New Haven contains more women than men, its schools educate more girls than boys, and the proportion of wo- men to men amongst school teachers in the city is probably about ten to one. gIs it too much to ask that the voters of New Haven shall secure two out of nine seats on the board to women, and enable them to try here the experiment of co-government which is so natural a corollary of CO., education, and which has produced good results in many other places.

THE CULTURE OF PUMPKINS.

The use Of pumpkins as a fall and
winter food for cattle cannot be too
highly recommended, and the fact that
they are the cheapest and most easily
raised of all our winter green foods is
not generally known, or at least not
acted upon. Coming at time when
pasture is getting very short and be-
fore the farmer wants to commence
using his roots, they bridge the gap
between summer pasture or soiling and
winter barn feeding, and keep up the
flow of milk which so often falls off
about this time.
Those who plant them usually drop
just few seeds in the hill with the
corn, and let them take their chance
and make something if they can. This
is wrong, for the pumpkin being q
plant that requires a great deal of
moisture and sun, does not get enough
Of either. The former it has to share
with the corn, which also needs lot of
moisture, especially during the grow
ing season, and the sunshine is shut off
by the foliage of the corn, in addition
to this there is very little land that is
rich enough to support two crops.
Pumpkins should be grown by them
selves like other crops.
For pumpkin patch choose light
soil. A sandy piece of bottom is just
the thing, the richer the better, of
course; though comparatively poor soil
will do. After blowing and harrow
ing, lay it off in check rows ten feet

A Frog as Big as a Brick.

As G. G. Bettes, the druggist, was
walking home Monday night he saw
something on the sidewalk which no
took for brick. Mr.. Bettes Is a
cyclist, and he was thoughtful enough
to endeavor to remove the Obstruc-
ton, which might cause some wheel
man to come to grief, SO he stopped
aud attempted to shove the brick oil
the walk with his foot.
The "brick" moved. In fact, it
moved about twenty feet straight to-
ward the middle of the street. Mr..
Bettes was utterly dumfounded. He
could not remember taking more than
q half dozen cococolas, and that
beverage had never before caused him
to see bricks leap off the sidewalk.
He started after that brick, but just
IS he was almost over it and stopped
down to examine it closely, away il
went again, landing on the opposite
sidewalk. He then saw what it was.
A tremendous bullfrog, that could
outjump the Nassau Railroad ring at
the county convention when the ring
sters saw the regular Democrats were
going to sit down on them.
Bettes was not going to let that
frog get the best OF him, and, after
chasing several blocks, finally got it
cornered, and now has it on exhibition
in the show window of the Carleton
pharmacy. -Jacksonville Ella. Times

HOisted by Her Own Petard,

When Yale athletics were in New
York, prior to their departure TO- Ok
ford, a well-known Brooklyn society
woman gave them dinner. 1t is part
of the creed of these young men never
to express surprise at any joke at
their expense. This their hostess
knew. She was determined to compel
a departure from this law and CON
ceived her plan with that object in
view. The women OF the party had
been notified, but were bound over to
silence, until some comment should
be made by the broadclothed guests.
At all exquisitely appointed table the
party sat down. The buffers first
served coffee, liquors aud candies.
Next came ices. Then salads. Talk
flowed on brilliantly and easily. Evil
IDENTIFY there was no stupidity on the
part of the servants iii serving thus
contrary to established etiquette. Tor
the hostess remained unconcerned.
So did the Yale men.
The reversed dinner went through
its courses without hitch or jar, until
after the soup and just before tho
CLANS were served. Then the Yale
men asked to be excused. The host
ess acquiesed with broad touch of
wonder on her face. In ten minutes
the team filed back into the dining
room, each with his "swallow-tail'' on
''hind part before" They had done
honor to the reversed dinner. The
surface of uncOncern was broken down
The hostess was hoisted by her own
petard, but the table rang with ap-
plause. -Argonaut

SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT.

It seems to be slow work inducing
the enactment of law compelling the
selling of eggs by weight, and this
question should be thoroughly agi-
tated until a change is made. 1t is q
subject that should be considered by
the State Board of Agriculture of each
State, and as it is largely in the inter
est of the farmers the Mirror has called
attention to it as d matter of justice.
There is a wrong done the farmers in
selling eggs by the dozen, for the
farmer in selling eggs by the
dozen, is compelled to give
more than he receives, while the Gus
toner pays too much or too little at
times, according to circumstances. It
is the dealer who is shrewd enough to
assert the eggs and put the difference
in his own pocket, but he does so by
common consent of all who buy and
SELL
It is fact that an egg should be
worth what it costs. The hen that
lays a dozen large eggs may have con-
verted more food into eggs than one
that has laid fifteen eggs, yet the
farmers may sell the fewer number for
less than the larger, though really the
fewer may weigh more than the others.
During the year one hen may lay one
hundred eggs that weigh seven to the
pound, while her companion may lay
l20 eggs that weigh ten to the pound.
The latter will be considered the bet
ter hen. although the former will have
really performed moro service and
laid over two pounds more of eggs
than the one that gave the greatest
number. In justice the farmer ought
to receive more money for the large
eggs, Us they cost him moro in the
shape of food, but the fact is that he
receives less, because eggs aye sold by
the dozen.
There is no correct method of ex-
change except by weight, and it is not
to the interest of producers to sell by
any other system. Exact justice is
done all concerned when eggs are sold
by weight, and to adopt this method
is to encourage better breeds of fowls.
More eggs and larger ones will then
reach the market, and each producers
goods will be sold on their merits.
AS we stated before, this is a subject
which demands the consideration of
poultry associations, agricultural So
cieties and the whole body of farmers
as class. Mirror and Farmer.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


A great deal of country butter Is

Salt is a great preventive of disease

him out without difficulty.
The power and longevity of tho
horse are in exact ratio to the intelli-
gent care and feeding he receives.
Just before driving light feed Of
oats should be given instead of q
heavier feed of more bulky grain.
Give the SOW succulent food and
keep her in thrifty condition if you
would have her produce thrifty pigs.
Study the prejudices of your mar
ket and supply brown or white eggs
and white or yellow skinned fowls, as
required.
Horses recovering or suffering from
facilitating diseases are readily over
come by heat, and should not be put
to exhaustive work.
The French are conducting O series
of experiments in 'grafting' potatoes.

oRcHARD1NG ON CHEAP GROUND,

What to do with the land that will
not bring more than from S. to $15
per acre has been a problem with
many farmers, for generally such land
is almost worthless for most crops.
Located upon hillsides, or in exposed
places where the soil is poor, there
seems to be no use or demand for it,
But in the last quarter of century a
great deal of this land in the north
ern belt of States has been turned
into apple orchards, which have been
paying from $l5 to SIS per acre an
nuaiIy, profit that would be consid-
cred satisfactory by any farmer. The
orchards have been we'll taken care of,
and have demonstrated what can be
done. Instead of allowing the land
to remain idle, the owners planted the
orchards of trees on it, and then care
fully cultivated them. To-day the
land is worth considerably more than
at the beginning.
The trees on poor soil need more
training than those on rich. Enrich
the earth around the trees, and they
will get established. Barnyard manure
is undoubtedly the best for this, and
where it is abundant do not be de-
ceived into buying any prepared mix
ture. Allow poultry, sheep, and swine
to fertilize the orchards by roaming
at large in them. They open the soil;
let in the air and sunlight, fertilize
the trees, and destroy the insects.
By turning the orchards into poultry
ranges you will add quite little to
the income from the eggs and fresh
chickens supplied for the table or
market.
Train the tree young. The best au-
thorities say that only the pocket
knife should be used for training and
pruning apple trees. This is only
another way of saying that the prun-
ing should be done early, before the
branches have attained any great
growth. Discover whether the limbs
need to be cut off before they have
reached the size of the arm. Prune
the young trees SO that they will form
an even head, giving the heaviest
amount of shade on the south side, to
shield from the hot sun. Use q COW
cred glass with magnifying power to
discover the insects on the limbs in
broad daylight, and then clip off the
twigs with the eggs or nests on them
to burn. -Germantown penn Tele-

How Koreans Fooled Besieging Chinese.

Pyeng Yang, city in Korea, was
founded 3O16 years ago. 1t is known
as the well-less city. Within it's walls
is not II single well, and all the water
of the city is carried up by watermen
from the river which washes its south
ern wall. Tradition shows that this
has always been so, for it is said that
when a Chinese General besieged IT
1000 years ago, believing that he could
compel its inhabitants to capitulste
by cutting off their water supply, he
was led to give up the attempt be-
cause the soldiers on the walls took
fish scales and went through the mo-
lions of the bath, and the scales, gilt
terin9 in the sun, looked in the eyes
OF the astonished besiegers to be drops
of water.-New York Recorder,

A Giant Railroad Corporation.

4 The Pennsylvania railroad company
has lust completed and moved into the
new building it has recently erected
at Philadelphia for its general Offices

900 and is &C usidered the finest in this
country, if not in the world. 1t stands
at the corner of Broad and Market
streets, opposite the new city hall.
The office building is 300 by 225 feet
in size and contains 139, O19 square
feet of space, divided into $50 rooms,
which are sufficient to accommodate
the 1900 clerical employees Of the sew
eral branches of the Pennsylvania
organization in Philadelphia. The
train shed is $50 feet long and 300
feet wide and can accommodate 200
trains daily. The passenger room has
seats for 500 people. The restaurant,
which is connected with it, can &C
commodate half as many, and there
are retiring rooms of oil sorts, with
every possible convenience. The Char
ing Cross station in London and the
