rho wnnderrnI wire.

Some years ago linemen were string
ing a telegraph wire through rural
district containing inhabitants that
seldom came i'm contact with the outer
world. A resident of the place. an old
farmer, more curious than his neigh
bors, put many questions to the line
l1en, and after awhile gained some con-
fused ideas about its use, principally
one that the wire was put up to send
messages on. Wishing to send his son
John. who lived in the city, pair of
new boots, he thought it would be n
cheap way of doing il to hang them on
the wire-and this he did. Shortly
after, tramp coming along saw them
there, and as they fitted him he took
them and left his own in their place.
The next morning the old farmer see
ing the tramp's shoes went about
among the neighbors telling of the
wonderful wire and how he had sent
his son John the new boots, and John
had not only got them, but had sent
his old pair back. = Harper's Round

GOSSIP Is ABUSED.
Neighboriy Matters That May BE Pleas
nntiy Discussed.

antIy Discussed.
The good old word gossip" has been
badly abused in the changes incident to
the progress of the language. 1t orig
inalIy meant the interchange of light
talk on subjects of neighborly interest,
" lich even in the present day and
among all sorts and conditions OF peo-
pie VIII remain as interesting matter
Tor conversation as any other. The
trouble with the word gossip is that it
is now understood to refer almost en-
tirely to ill-natured and malicious scan
dals about neighbors. And with such
an Interpretation it should deserve the
nnstinted relrobation of all.
When neighbor gets a reputation for
going around and insinuating all kinds
OF unpleasant things about all the other
neighbors, making indirect references
TO things of which she would not speak
out in plain terms, and always yelling
her meaning by an air of regret and a
pTetense of sincerely, she becomes more
dangerous that a snake, and she would
be avoided with exactly the same sense
of loathing that snakes are usually
y
remember that the same gossiper will
he very likely 10 speak in almost the
same terms of her, should she be able 10
find listener, and should, therefore,
if only as matter of self-protection,
disconntenance and dismiss her in an
unmistakable manner. Thus chiefly
may the gossip be rooted out. league
to OBSCURE re gossips should be formed
in every little community. 1t would
probably be an uncertain kind of assoc
cation for awhile, because, strange as
it may seem, here are many gossips
of even the most bitter character who
do not recognize themselves as such,
and who would in air honesty hold the
character of a malicious taiebearer and
scandal-monger as IAe of the worst
in the world. One of the difficulties of
eradicating this evil is this fact, but a
lesson or two in a league or association
would be very sure to turn their eyes
in upon themselves and produce al
amazing revelation in many cases.
There is gossip and gossip. Some of
the news of the neighborhood as retold
by many ladies is a revelation of kindly
hearts and of Unborn sense of the sweet
ness and civility that many people have
affirmed goes with gentle birth. All the
pretty things are told with pretty COM
ments. If there are unhappy things to
tell there are kindly and ,vomanly ways
of putting them, and usually some sug-
gestions made to relieve them. These
are the happy gossips, but a misfortune

thority that says man is much given to
taking pleasure in the misfertunes of
his neighbor, and so long as this is pref
ty much so, there is always to be great
degree of care taken in the discussion
OF neighborly matters at all.-N. y.

AS the days become shorter and the
nights longer, the interval between the
evening and morning meals increases.
Dnring December the fowls often go on
the roost at five o'clock and do not come
off till seven o'clock the next morning.
This keeps them IA hours without food.
If not fed, however, until daylight is
well on, and an hour before roosting,
the time is heightened to 10 hours, while
only eight hours interval occurs during
the day. The difficulty cannot be over
come, but it is best to feed them as early
in the morning as possible and TO de-
lay their evening meal until they will
have but very short time before go
ing on the roost.-Prairie Farmer.

POULTRY FOR MARKET.
Some Valuable Hints for Dealers as Wen
Farmers.

some Valuable Efnts bedleFs wei
Farmers.
There is a class interested in poultry
that buys from farmers, and after
dressing the poultry the carcasses are
shipped to market. 1t is very prof
liable business, and such dealers are
useful in a community, being always
ready TO accept any of the surplus
stock offered and save time and labor
for the farmers, as they dress and ship
hundreds of carcasses at once, while
some farmers, in order to secure few
cents more per pound, do not take into
consideration the labor they bestow in
preparing but few fowls for shipment.
A greater profit can be made in buying
poultry, however, if those engaged ia
such business will fatten the fowls be-
fore killing. Instead of buying to-day
and selling tomorrow, there should be
clean quarters, with small yards at
tached, having feed and water troughs,
and the birds fed on fattening foods,
so as to increase the weight and secure
a larger price per pound. In ten days
or two weeks the birds will be ready
for market if they are given all the
food they will eat during that time.
by allowing time for increasing weight
it becomes an advantage to buy poor
birds If they are in good condition, as
the first cost is less and greater pro-
portionate weight can be add I'd. Only
the frame and bony structure are suf-
ficient. The food will then increase
the weight and the quality will be SUI
perior. as birds that are fattened in
short period of time are tender and
juicy. Such plan would rid the mar
ket Of much of the inferior poultry that
is usually forwarded, and as the cost
of producing one pound of poultry
should not exceed five cents the adop-
ton of the method would furnish the
markets with better stock and largely
add to the profits of the business

or ground floor: Pieces of rope or wire
are securely fastened about the box at
a, about two feet from either end.
At the point it is desired to elevate ii,
two pulleys are secured TO the joists,
also two other pulleys at some con-
yenient point along the side Of the
driveway. Through these two, pieces
of rope Go b) are passed, they being
for convenience provided with hook
at one end to att ach them to the circles
of rope surrounding the box. 1t is
plain that if a weight greater than the
box is applied to the rope, the box will
be elevated. When at the desired point,
the loose ends OF the ropes are secured
about the pins, at e C. BY elevating
one end of the box at time, one man
can handle it with ease. The best plan
is to drive the wagon under the pulleys
for unloading or replacing, as required.
BY removing the wheels and using a
stronger rope, the whole may be raised
up out of the way. Sleds, hayrack and
similar tools may be stored away in
the same manner. This operation may
be made easier by substituting block
pulley where the hook is attached and
also above. With rope properly ar
ranged, one man can raise several times
his own weight, simply requiring a
greater length of rope.-Orange Judd

Something About Morphine. Sulphur. Mo-

Among the popular society leaders in
East Orange, n. j., Emma l.. Stoll a charm
ing young maiden, stands in the foremost
rank. She is of a lovable disposition and
the light of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been a sick
girl from internal troubles peculiar to woui-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter the following interesting
account:
"Instead of improving under the care of
my physician / became worse. For five
weeks / was unable to get out of bed aud
about six o'clock each morning L suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks of my teeth, for in my ef-
forts to keep from screaming / sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. At such times /
rolled and tossed until the BET shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious
that the DOCTOR won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills TO take The
very thought OF them now makes me shiver.
These morphine pills simply put me 10 sleep
for awhile and when / became conscious
again my agony was renewed.

then. From ll2 pounds, | had fallen 10
ninety; my cheeks were pale aud sunken
and limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then / read of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the testimonial in the Nelos inspired me
with hope. / got the pills and took them.
Before many DAYS began to improve and
before / had finished one box felt as If l

stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
L soon bid goodbye to my headaches while
the pain in my stomach and back slowly
but surely succumbed TO the influence of
these pills that seem 20 be able to persuade
all pain to leave ones body. Now am as
l used to be; well and strong, light-hearted
and merry but never without the pills. See
L have got some of them now" and from
a nearby desk she handed out one of the
boxes.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar TO females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow ofhealth 10 pale
and sallow checks. In men they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never
