That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Ferce's Pleasant Pellets axo
unequaled, Is proven by the fact that onos
used, they are altouys In tauor. Their SO.
ondary effect Is to keep the bowels open and
regular, not to further consipate, as is tha
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
shpation, piles, and indigestion. !

tive in arousing the liver to action than "bfus

4 Remarkable Sand Dune.

There is q remarkable sand dune
near the lighthouse al Cape Henry, at
the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. "he
sand from the beach has heea piled up
nearly 200 feet at any easy slope en-
the ocean side, but on tie inland side
it descends in an almost sheer p:eci-
pice and particles Of sanI blown up
the slope fall nver the edge m! are
spread far and vide by the wind. It
is supposed that the preclpice-like
regularity of the mo.nd is due to the
action of conflicting wind currents

Mrs. Cleyeland,s Dog.

Miss Elizabeth Strong, ofNew York,
is an art1stic painter of dogs, depict
ing on canvas the canine pets OF
wealthy patrons. In recent inter-
view with Recorder representative
she said:
"That picture on the wall is o por-
trait which I painted of Mrs. Cleve-
lands Kay. She loaned him to me for
six months, and he was a beautiful
model, and made many studies of
him. He was good-natured old fel-
low, but not particularly good
model. I used to have to spend so
much time in getting him quiet, and
at last I had to keep girl oil the time
to entertain him while I painted. l

Some CuriOus Plants.

One of the curiosities at the propa-
eating gardens is plant Of the arrow
root family, each leaf of which has q
picture of growing branch on it with
leaves, painted by nature to perfec-
tion. Young palms are grown from
seed in one of the green houses. In
early youth they look remarkably
like ordinary grass. Mr.. Brown, just
for fun, keeps few sensitive plants.
It is wonderful to see them shrink
and fold their leaves if one does but
touch the pot containing them. Nobody
has ever been able to find out why
they do this, unless it be supposed
that this kind Of vegetable actually
possesses some sort of nervous system.

Porcelain Teeth.

Artificial teeth are made of porce-
lain. Porcelain is, aseveryone knows.
of many degrees of hardness, and tho
greater or less hardness of 8 particula.
kind of porcelain depends mainly
upon the degree of heat required to
fuse the ingredients of which it ID
composed. The porcelain used for
artificial teeth consistsy chiefly of
very fine kaolin, such as that used by
the Chinese ceramic artists, with fell
spar for the enamel. The teeth.
with platinum pins inserted in them,
are exposed to degree of heat 50
high as to melt any metal less fusible
than platinum, and this baking brings
them to a state of hardness sufficient
to resist the wear and tear incident to
the work they have to perform

Assist nature little now and then with q
gentle laxative, or, il need be, with more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-

action, and you thereby remove the cause
Of q multitude Of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and

The Value Of Creamery to Farmers.

The following from the Fort Collins
Express, within whose jurisdiction the
creamery business has been thoroughly
tried, indicates the importance of farm
ers having facilities for butter making,
and also the desirability Of turning their
energies into other channels than those
which have in the past absorbed them
most:
&c. F. Hunt, lessee and manager of the
Poudre Valley stock farm, is about..to
start creamery at New Windsor. There
is no section Of Colorado whore cream
cry could be managed more successfully
than in the neighborhood OF this thriving
little town, and farmers will never regret
making the change from grain growing
exclusively to dairying. They should
give Mr.. Hunt every encouragement pos
sible and by their united efforts make
his creamery success. There has not
been bushel OF wheat grown in Lari-
mer county at profit for many years
past, and farmers must seek some other
and more remunerative source Of agri-
culture. Go into any OF the great dairy
ing counties of the United States and you
will find thrifty and well-to-do class OF
agriculturists, out of debt and prosper
GUS. The same cannot be said OF the
grain producer. Make dairying a spec
ialty and you will become Independent
Of the grain manipulators Of the world" !"

Care for Your Orchard.

Fruit culture in the Arkansas valley
being comparatively in its infancy we are
not afflicted with the insect pests which
are a source Of SO much annoyance in
older horticultural regions. That this
favorable condition exists should not
cause our fruit growers to relax their
vigilance, but influence them to use every
effort to prevent injurious insects getting
a start. "An ounce of prevention is
worth pound Of cure" To aid our hor-
ticulturists in giving their trees the de-
sired preventive care we call their atten-
ton to the following issued by the state
board OF horticulture:
at is very important to those having
fruit trees to begin early the fight against
the pests which are sure to be with us
the coming season. The eggs Of the leaf
roller are laid very plentifully on the
trees and are most Of them found on the
trunk and large limbs. 1t is but few
minutes work to destroy these on a tree
by simply drawing the back of knife,
or something similar, over the egg clus-
tors and crushing them. As each cluster
represents from twenty to forty worms,
in this case surely stitch in time saves
nine. Clean away all grass and sprouts
from around the base Of the tree and ex-
pose the woolly aphis or blood louise to
the weather and the wash you intend to
give to the trees later on"
