Curing Seed Corn.

A farmer writing in The Rural New
Yorker says: To cure sweet seed corn /
made racks 10 by feet of by inch
sticks set edgewise. The bottoms are
covered with poultry netting, with
mesh fine enough to prevent the ears
falling through. To securely hold the
netting in place after it was fastened
on | nailed narrow strip of board two
inches wide all around. I also put a
piece across the middle of each frame to
help support the bottom. set four posts
three feet high, capped with inverted
tin pans, SO that frame will rest upon
them at the corners. When the first
frame is filled, I lay a small piece of
inch thick board on each corner and put
another frame on them directly over
the first one. fill this and repeat.
When sufficient frames have been used,
l cover the last one with a roof of
boards, which projects six or more
inches on all sides. I let my stack of
frames stand until the beginning Of
winter; then with crowbar I loosen
and take out the bits of board laid on
the corners, which lets the frame come
close together, making fairly tight
corncrib. Sweet corn handled in this
way is far more certain to dry we'll than
when traced.

Bangor Democrats Cheerful in the Midst
of Adversely.

Bangor. Sep tember 10-There was an
election landslide in Eastern Maine today,
and as fast as man is exhumed he ac-
knowledges that he is a Democrat and that
the burial was strictly intended for him in
Penobscot county. 1t had been fondly
hoped by the Democrats to defeat William
Engel, candidate for Senator from the Ban
gor district. but the scheme failed, for the
same reason that applied to the election in
general. The Democrats stayed at home.
The Populists and Democrats united upon
John White as candidate for county COM
missioner, and while he doubtless leads the
ticket by handsome tigureish defeat is
certain unless almost miraculous changes
have taken place in county districts not
yet heard from. One or two legislature
districts in Penobscot county the Democrats
had looked to carry, but as the returns
have not been promptly received from them
tonight it is conceded that they too have
succumbed to the general attack.
The Democrats unhesitatingly concede
one of the largest Republican majorities in
years. and apparently think that they were
fortunate to escape SO easily,

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Nezu York Tribune says 'sThe habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders az
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendencv
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them Il
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain OF ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium hend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly imagining that they are in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose''
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deDanges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, alzOays in favor. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.
