Weather Chances

Close observers Of an ingenious turn
are sure that the changes in the weather
were invented for the purpose of CONVEX
sation. There may be something in this
theory, but we aSe inclined to think
that they are mose for the purpose of
giving consolation to chronic invalids.
II felt very bad yesterday, when the
wind was in the east,'' groans the sick
person, Or, IT feel much better today,
the sun shines SO BRIGHTLY" Or, "When
the wind is in the north, my rheumatism
troubles me- And so they go on until at
last there does come a day which not
only benefits, but cures; when the doctor
can be dispensed with and the under
taker observes that the gentleman has a
fine day for his funeral. But all levity
aside, such changes in the weather as
we have had recently would be more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance, even though they gave the in
valid less to think about and hampered
the person we meet in the street who
uses the subject as an always timely one
It is reported that the recent frost killed
the grape crop in some large localities,
ruined cherries and many other kinds Of
small fruits. Yet it may not be as severe
as it seems. Ill news always travels rap
idly and delights in superlatives.

MsLLELACs LAKE RIPPLEs,

W.. ISLE HARBOR, July s, 1895.
There was a great celebration at
Cove the Fourth.

considerab BILE attention.
Three inches rain fall at the lake
July 4th, 5th, 9th and 9th.
Mrs. H. T. Rice]and lost her gold

Mrs. B. Carter celebrated the
Fourth with friends at Mora. She re-

What has become of Captain G. Car
ter and party that took in the Fourth
at Garrison? They have not returned
yet and people begin to believe the
celebration over there lasts week.
Wonder where Sam Matson, Otto
Haaggberg and their best girls were
during the rain storm. They came in
as badly soaked as if they had tried to
discover the bottom Of the lake. And
how was it, Sam, the following Sun
day on the island when another rain
storm came up? You should get
good barometer so that you may enjoy
pleasant weather on your excursions.

Remarkable Families.

Among the remarkable families of
the past generation was that of the
Adamses. Samuel was one of the most
prominent figures in the Revolution:
John and John Quincy were both
presidents of the United States, be-
sides filling other honorable stations
in the service of their country.
Among the remarkable families Of this
generation are Tor were, for two of
them recently died) the Field brothers.
David Dudley was known wherever
there is law and lawyers, and at ninety
his faculties were as bright as in
middle life; Stephen j. has been a
justice of the United States Supreme
Court for more than thirty years; it
was the indomitable pluck and energy
OF Cyrus W. that caused the Atlantic
cable to be laid in the face of untold
dlscouragements; Henry M. has been
for many years a distinguished divine
and literary man. A third remarkable
family is a railroad one-the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, Chicago, Burl-
ington & Northern, Burlington & Mis-
souri, River, Burlington & Western,
Burlington & Northwestern, Hannibal
& St. Joseph, St. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern, and Kansas City, St..

roads, with more than seven thousand
miles OF track in eleven of the best

The Middleman's Story.

The middleman has side. Those who
abuse him do not believe so, but it is a
FACT A man who has had considerable
experience in selling agricultural nipple
ments to farmers gives the point Of view
of the agent. 1# ~.
He says it will be a long time, if the
time ever comes, when farmers will buy
direct of manufacturers and thus save
the middleman's profit for themselves
The dealers are allowed Is per cent prof
it on the goods they dispose of. The
farmer often engages to buy a machine,
promising to pay cash. Cash means 80
days. Time goes by, and the money is
not there. Then the farmer gives his
note for the amount. And the bad mid
dleman says Of these notes, 'sIhave some
now that are worth little more than
waste paper. . To get his money back
and save himself from ruin the dealer
must put up the price Of machines so as
to make the honest farmers pay the debts
Of the unreliable ones. ."<.s
The trouble seems to lie in the insidi-
GUS and seductive credit system. If PEG.
pie, farmers included, would train them
selves into the habit Of buying only such
personal property as they have cash in
pocket to pay for, then the middleman
would not seem half SO wicked

Last summer one of our grand chill
dren was sick with a severe bowel
trouble. Our DOCTORS remedies had
failed, then we tried mberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy,
which gave very speedy relief. We
regard it as the best medicine ever put
on the market for bowel complaints. -

Mo. This certainly is the best medi.
cine put on the market for dysentery,
summer complaint, collie and cholera
infantum in children. It never fails to
give prompt relief when used in rea-
sonable time and the plain printed
directions are followed. Many moth
ers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

Although the utilization of the power
OF Niagara falls has not yet been suf-
ficiently contaminated to judge fully
as to the measure Of it's success, there
is reason to believe that the project
will approximate all that has been
claimed for it. An effort is now being
made in lower Canada to utilize the
Chaudiere falls, which are 95 feet
high and will give 100000 horses
power. II these projects are finally
worked out successfully, there is hardly
any end to the possibilities in this direc-
tion in the far west, and when developed
the great east must look out for it's SUI
premacy in manufactures.

Death from drinking poison under
the supposition that it is a medicine Or
some harmless beverage is constantly
occurring. A late case Of this sort was
that Of a man who reached out in the
night from his bed and drank carbolic
acid instead of cough medicine, to his
everlasting undoing. If the carbolic acid
had been kept in a corrugated bottle, as
by law poisons must be kept in Eng
land, this man would be alive now, for
he would have known the moment his
hands grasped the bottle that it con-
tanned deadly liquid. Why should not
the Legislatures Of the states or the
United States congress pass laws max
ing the putting Of poisons in plain bot
ties misdemeanor?

Tt is the general opinion that dueling
is going out among civilized peoples.
But either that opinion is erroneous or
else Italy is not yet civilized, for duel
ing is on the increase there and not de-
creasing. During the ten years, from
1884 to 1894, 947 duels were fought
there over newspaper articles alone, 730
personal encounters occurred between
rival lovers, 371 were fought because of
political quarrels, 2S9 arose from per-
sonal insults, 10 were caused by gam
bling rows, and in 10 cases the causes
were not made public. In 1884 alone
there were 5S3 duels over all sorts of
differences.

Cats.
Cats.
New York has just had a cat show,

New York has just had cat show,
which was SO successful an enterprise
that other cat shows are sure to be held
there in the years to come. All lovers Of
cats will no doubt rejoice at this consid-
GRAFTON given their pets, and, we are
sure, will resent the sneers recently lev
eled at the feline race by the one New
| York paper whose editor once invented
and still maintains the jocular fiction
that he keeps an office cat for the pur-
| pose Of destroying pieces Of manuscript
that do not meet his views as to excel
lence
The jeers at Grimalkin in question
were printed in the same paragraph that
spoke in praise of Fido. It appears that
the master of a certain dog fell off the
dock one day recently in New York and
straightway became a drowned body
True to the loyal instincts of his race,
the dog remained upon the dock near the
place Of his masters final disappearance,
thus giving another example Of canine
fidelity and affection. This coming to
the ear Of the editor, he called attention
to the circumstance, and then, in spirit
Of invidious comparison, asked who
could relate similar story of feline de-
votion to a member Of the human race.
Perhaps no one can, but in humanity
patriotism is considered as high virtue
as personal affection, if not Of higher
grade, and, as every one who has studied
the feline nature knows, the overmas-
tering instinct Of every cat is love Of
place. He is poor coot indeed in the
view of most persons who does not love
the place Of his nativity or Of his long
residence, unless that place be utterly
bare of attractions, and none are more
extravagantly Landed than those who go
forth to do battle for home and country.
Who cannot relate stories Of cats Drawing
every danger, when ruthlessly torn from
the homes they love SO we'll, in order to
return to them? Does not every school
boy know Of the. annual professions of
home seeking cats which CROSS the
Brooklyn bridge in opposite directions on
the night of May 1, which is moving
day at the Hudson s mouth? Indeed this
remarkable propensity has been chose,
as a theme for the poet and set to music.
Who has not heard the inspiring song:
And the cat came back,
For he wouldn't stay away2
For the love Of home so universally
displayed by the great cat family we
are Of the opinion that they should be
as roundly praised as the dog for the
blind affection displayed for his dead
master. And at the same time, in con-
sidering the relative merits of the cat
and the dog, it should be remembered
that hundred persons are bitten by
dogs, vagrant and otherwise, in every
city to one bitten by cats, even though
there are at least hundredfold more
cats than dogs. .... T.

fellows offer you their machines at
prices ranging anywhere from five to
twenty-five dollars under the McCor-

that their low-priced machines, at best,
were kept under the umbrella dur

secondly, that there is strong proba-

something that has been carried over
for one or two seasons. If you want
