WHY?

WHY. in the Springtime,
do SO many have that drowsy,
lifeless feeling?
WHY is there so much
backache, neuralgia and rheu-
matism?
WHY do scrofulous taints,
eruptions and erysipelas show
themselves?
WHY not admit the truth,
that is, that kidney poison is
in the blood?
WHY, then, not put the
blood in pure condition by
curing the Kidneys?
WHY not today resort to
that greet remedy, Warmers
Safe Cure, which. is the only
known specific for these trou-
bles?
WHY not, in word, use
the best remedy obtainable
for banishing disease and re-
storing health and happiness?

How to Keep Flowers Fresh.

Lovers of flowers not rich enough to
BUY often have various ways of pro-
,onging the life and freshness OF the
few they get. Nialets may be kept
fresh if placed in fresh water and COW
cred over night with a tumbler. Most
flowers will retain their freshness for
several days if kept over night in the
open air. Anyone possessed of one of
those delicate French clocks that have
to be covered with a glass dome cannot
do better than sell or pawn the clock,
usually an object of neither use nor
ornament, buy flowers from time to
time with the proceeds, and use the
glass dome as protector for the flow
ers at night. 1t will keep them fresh
for days.

VICTORIOUS JAPAN.

1T was the custom, years ago, for the
japanese ladies to gild their teeth.
TERRA GOTTA sleepers are in use on
Japan railroads The increased cost is
compensated for by the greater resist
ance to decay.
NINE. HIssA GUYANA, wife of the jap
anese minister at Vienna, has joined
the Roman Catholic church, with her
husbands consent.
JAPANESE politeness translates into
queer English. ''H0w is your honor
able wife?" one gentleman will ask. Il
thank you, honorable sir, my dirty fool
Of wife is well" is the answer.
The Japanese are now getting used
to glass, AT first the glass in railway
car windows had to be slneared with
streaks of white paint to keep paszen-
gers from polzing their heads through it.
GEN. SIR GARNET WoLsELEY says that
one secret of the superiority Of Japan's
military system is that the profession of
arms is held in high regard, while in
China the lowest classes only are re-
cruited into the army, and soldiers are
rather looked down upon.

vised by which the sections of the state
directly benefited would be required to
remunerate the state for the use Of the

the first benefits, and the state convicts
would be constantly employed in use

NEW CARDINAL POPPY.
Pretty Flower Which Lends Richness
of Color to the Garden.


Each year sees a distinct advance
made in the production of new and
more beautiful varieties of our stand
ard flowers. The pansy, the sweet pea
and the poppy have in recent years
been each particularly fortunate in
the results of the attention which has
been bestowed upon them. 1 have
raised many of the newer varieties
Of these three flowers during the
past season, and have been high
ly gratifed with the beautifully
colored blossoms that have ap-
peared. Particularly gratifying have
been the results in the cultivation of
new sorts of pansies and peoples. The
most beautiful variety of the latter
that has made brilliant color in the
garden has been the new cardinal
poppy, an illustration of which is
given herewith. The color is the beau
;iful combination of cardinal and
white, while the form is decidedly
handsome, a perfect head being
formed that is decidedly ''feath-
cry" in appearance. 1t is a de-
,ided acquisition to the list of peoples
and deserves to be widely cultivated;

A Subject in Which Every Farmer Should
Re TnsereStnd

A Subject in Which Every Farmer Should
Be Interested.
A hotbed of convenient size for the
farmer may be made as follows: The
frame may be 16 inches high at the
rear and IA inches in front from the
level of the ground, and covered with
sash of any desired size. The boards
are nailed together at the corners,
fastened to 2x3 inch scantling, but
gardeners first make a pit, foot deep,
and use frame "a inches at the rear
and % inches at the front, according
to the kinds of plants to be grown. The
height at the front, however, depends
on the width Of the bed.
Fresh horse manure, free from lit
ter, is generally used. 1t is the fer
mentation of the manure that creates
the heat. If the manure is too loose
it may create heat more rapidly than
desired 1t is better to mix the ma
nure in pile, allow is to heat some.
and then turn it over and well mix it
again before using it in the hotbed.
Having trampled the manure firmly
cover with rich dirt to which has been
added one-fourth its bulk of fine, we'll
rotted manure. There should be no
Jumps, stones or pebbles in the hotbed.
If necessary, sift the dirt. The thick
ness of the dirt should be about 6
inches. As there will then be about
! foot of space between the dirt and
the sash (the hotbed being "A inches at
the rear ample air space will thus be
provided. If the manure does not heat
up quickly and is slow sprinkle the bed
well with hot water, first adding a
small quantity of air-slacled lime to
the water. If too much heat is gen
erated.use cold water alone. When the
heat reaches about 60 degrees plant the
seeds in rows, but more warmth will
be required for the young plants
| later on.
The frame should be we'll banked up
with dirt to prevent the effects OF the
frost. The object should be to main-
tain as even temperature as possible.
On clear, warm days the sash may be
raised slightly in order to admit air
during the middle of the day, but this
will depend on many circumstace aces.
The better plan is to hang a tlcrnom-
eter in the hotbed, and to visit il ire
quently. AS the heat from the manure
decreases the weather will become
warmer Gradually accustoin the
plants to the atmosphere as much rs
possible, and transplant to the Geld
frame such as may be suitable for that
purpose. Some sort of covering should
be used over the sash at night, such as
an old carpet, with few loose boards
over the carpet. The temperature of
the atmosphere must be the guide in
management, as the plants must not
tie kept too warm or become liable to
being chilled.-Farm and Home.

FOR TIE FUCLiC GOOD.


Tho Employment Of onyicts in the Con-
str ceioa OF State Roads.
A correspondent Of the San Antonio
Express calls attention to two ques-
lions of supreme public Importance
pressing for solution at the present
time in Texas.
One Of these Questions is "How to
obtain good roads" and the other
"How to employ convict labor" and
to his mind the second question sug
Eests the answer to the first He
takes the view which the Post has long
and persistently urged, that honest la
bor should not be compelled to COM
pete in any line with convicts, and
that some means should be found for
employing their services which would
make them pay for their keep, which
should not be open to the objection
which honest labor properly urges.
The necessity for improved public
Highways is everywhere apparent, and
fhc problem of how to provide them
has engaged public attention as one
difficult of solution. The counties and
local communities have tried in
q feeble way to improve roads,
and it mutt be admitted that in
some instances they have accomplished
Il good deal, but the means at their
command have not been sufficient to
enable them to more than make start
In the dcGircd direction. The entire
state needs better system of roads,

Victs be put than il supplying this

DIED THE DEATH IF \ HERO. A ChiId'S Life More Valuable Than His Own. THO. :BOTH DIED TOGETHER
  Thomas flovenden, The Celebrated American Artists Sacrifice Proves Hope
 less and Useless One.

Norristown, Pa, Aug. 4.-Thomas Hovenden, the famous artist, was in- stantly killed by a railroad train here this evening. MT. Hovenden met with hero's death, for in attempting to save the life Of a little girl he lest his own. The sacrifice of Mir Hovenden's life was useless because the child that he at tempted to save met her dath beneath the wheels of the train that ground the life out of the artist.
 The accident occurred at a grade cross ing on what is known as the Brenton cutoff of the Pennsylvania railroad. The Chestnut Hill Trolley company's track runs up to the tracks of the railroad com pany at the point where the accident oc- cured, but does not cross them. Pas sengers of the Trolley company are com pelled to leave the car at the railroad tracks and cross the latter on foot and take trolley car on the opposite side.
 MT. Hovenden has a summer residence in Plymouth township, this county, and he was returning this afternoon on trolley car. When the trolley car reached it's stopping point on the far side of the railroad track he alighted, as usual, and proceeded to cross the trolly car on the other side. Besides MT. Hovenden, dillOilS lut passengers Oil liic Noi NSh Mrs. Clara Pefr and her 10-year-old daughter, Bessie fast freight train was approaching the crossing as the pas sengers from the trolley car alighted. The little girl did not notice the com ing train and she ran ahead of her moth- CT to cross the tracks.
 The train bore rapidly down and the engineer blew his whistle freely when he saw the little figure standing between the rails. The child seemed to become confused and awaited her coming death without attempting to avoid it.
 MT. Hovenden rushed forward and snatched the child up in his arms. Be- fore he could make the leap that would have saved them both the pilot of the engine struck Mr. Hovenden and hurled him across the tracks with terrible force. The engineer stopped his train and he and the fireman ran to where Mr Hoven- den and the little girl were lying side by side. The man was dead and the child died as she was raised from the ground.
 Thomas HOVenden was one of the lead ing artists that America has produced. He was still in the comparative prime of his intellectual vigor and artistic skill, being but 59 years of age. His best known painting, Breaking Home Ties" has been engraved probably more than the work of any other American artist, and is a familiar work on the walls of thousands of homes in the United States The painting was one of the most notable of the American groups at the Worlds fair.

A party from Selma and party from Mississippi are expected to swell the number.

The route will be via At lanta, Washington, Baltimore Philadel phia and New York, with the privilege oe a variable route between the latter city and Boston. The party will have the privilege of either going from New York to Boston by water and return by rail or vice versa.
