of reaching home beforethestorm
burst upon him in all its fury.
More than half the way had been
covered before the sun sunk to
rest behind the western horizon
enveloping the surrounding forest
and hills in utter darkness--dark
as the dungeon of Chillon--almost
impenetrable had it not been for
the occasional flashes of lightning
which lighted up the surroundings
far and wide and caused the forest
and other objects to assume the
most weird and awesome- aspect,

Carl known every foot of the road
he certainly, in the intense dark
ness, would have lost his way and
wandered off into the forest; but
being we'll acquainted with the
country and road he had very lit
tie difficulty in making good pro-
gross toward home. AS he adj
vanced the darkness became more
intense, the dark clouds o'erspread
the sky obscuring the light of the
moon, and not even the twinkling
Of star could force its way
through the black canopy. The
lightning flashed almost incessant-
ly, rending andshjvering Che stout

echoing and re-eching among the
hills until the very earth trembled
beneath the conclusion,
Through all this Carl pressed
bravely on for he was a courageous
lad. But as he came to the top
of the hill overlooking the dark
caynon through which flowed Dew
lis creek from out thicket of ivy
and laurel there came a shrill
scream Resembling that of a pam

in chilly streams through his veins.
He had never seen q catamount,
yet he knew that it was the scream
which proceeded their attacks, and
by a fash of lightning he saw the
hideous creature crouching close
to the road. He could see its frey
eyes shining like balls of living
fire in that black Egyptian dark
ness" Carl was a brave boy, but
this was enough to make the brav-
est of the brave shrink back aghast.
For a moment he was undecided.
He was armed, but what benefit
were fire arms in that intense dark
mess? A shot would be wholly at
random, and the chances of hitting
! the animal would be ten to one
against him. The situation was
critical indeed, but just as the
catamount with savage cry sprang
at him ne boundedpast it, dropped
one Of the packages he had hither-

the road at the top Of his speed.
The dropping Of the package was
a most fortunate act, for the cata-
mount found the parcel, stopped

This completed, it bounded on in
pursuit. BY the flashes of light

saw that the catamount was in

ton, which is a constant source of dis
cussion and general trouble to all con-
cerned with it. The illustration explains
the whole thing. AS it is we'll known
that the longer arm Of a lever is the
easier to move, and this question is one
of leverage between the two horses, it
follows that the horse that is ahead has
the easier pull, with the common shape
of the doubletree-that is, when the mid
die hole is near the front of the bar and
the draft holes for the clevises are at
the back of it.
But when the three holes are all in
line then there is no difference at all in
the draft, whether the horses are pulling
evenly or one or the other may be
ahead. The drawing is of course exag-
gerated to show the principle more
plainly, but it is the same, always in
proportion to the difference between the
lines of the three holes. When the two
horses are drawing the load, they are
pulling against each other. The draft
pin is the fulcrum on which the lever
of the doubletree works The two parts
of the doubletree ON each side of the
draft pin are two levers, and as one is
little longer than the other when the
doubletree is not level the forward horse
is pulling with the longer and the
hinder horse is pulling with the shorter
lever. To the extent of the difference,
added to the gain of the other horse, the
latter does more of the work. Thus, as
in everything else in the world, the fell
low that is behind has the hardest work
to get along. There is an interesting
moral in this little disquisition.

Mcbride told a party of his friend
this story: you know. boys, little PEG
pie have sharp ears, and they are not al
all backward about telling any little
scraps of information they pick up. This
popularity has led good many parents
to resort to spelling words when theil
young children are present. Of course
that sort of thing is of no avail after the
Youngsters learn to spell. Well, Mrs.
Mcbride and I are in the spelling stage
now, and little Freddie is often very
much mystified by our remarks to each
other. Last night we had our new min
lister to dinner, and Freddy watched the
good man helping himself very liberal
" to biscuits. Herkougbt it a good op-
portunity to put INTO use the family

that the minister would find it unintel-
ligible, so he called out, Mammal

Grateful Women Write Us Letters.

From every corner of the country
come thankful letters written by those
who have been lifted into cheerful, vig-
orous, healthy strength by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands of women
have been relieved of the nerve-nagg1ng
drag of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the humiliating
exposure of examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotyped treatment by local
applications T" is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
the system. 1t exerts wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. 1t is
an invigorating tonic for the whole sys-
TEN, and is almost an infa1lib1e specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, Irregular
ties and painful arrangements of woman.
To these causes may be traced the
trouble of tired, nervous, irritable, worm
out women. Careless, easy-going doctors
frequently treat their women patients for
biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles, when the real sick
ness is in the organs distinctly feminine,
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in both
structure and function which is .brougth
about in due time, by the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Prescribed for 80 years by DIR. Pierce.

Feeding New Corn.

One of the best ways of feeding new
corn, at least for time, is to commence
feeding cornstalks and all. There is a
loss in one respect in that the corn not
being fully matured contains more
water, yet what is lost in this way is
more than made up in the amount Of
benefit the hogs will secure in the stalks
and leaves after the corn is reasonably
well matured. There is but little nutri-
ment in the stalks or foliage
Generally the better plan is to COM
mence in good season, giving small
quantity at first and gradually increas-
ing until they are given all they will
eat If given good pasturage, good
feed of bran slop and light feed of
corn daily a very rapid gain can be Sc
cured.
There are several advantages in feed
ing early. One is that generally better
gain in proportion to the amount of feed
supplied can be secured early or later in
the season. Then by having them in a
good condition early in the season a
much better opportunity is afforded Of
taking advantage of the market.
But it is best not to feed too much
corn at once, but after they once get on
full feed they should be pushed along
as rapidly as possible, and full feeding
is necessary to secure this. Southern

Khe Hospitality of Albert Edward at Marl-
borough House.
The Prince of Wales gives in the
course of the season certain special din
ners at Marlborough House, which in
many essential respects differ from those
which he attends at other peoples
houses The guests do not number more
than 40 people, including the ladies and
gentlemen i'll attendance upon the prince
and princess When members of the
royal family arrive at Marlborough
House, at the outer gate, the fact is at
once signaled from the lodge, SO that the
Prince and Princess of Wales are never
taken by surprise, but are in readiness
to receive them.
The dining room in which the BAN
quet is served is a magniicently deco
rated apartment, with ceiling of white
and gold. On the wall ON the left hand
side is great square of red plush to set
off the presentations of plate which have
been made to their royal highnesses dur
ing the recent years. The Prince of
Wales, as host, sits not at the end, but
in the middle seat, at the side of a large
and long table. Table decorations are of
q massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. A very high centerpiece is
filed with flowers, and more blossoms
are placed in tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses.
Probably Marlborough House is the
only place in London in which the
knives and forks are laid so curiously
To each guest two forks and no more
are provided, and these are placed prongs
downward, reversing the usual method
In addition there is one large tablespoon
and one large knife. In no circumstance
are two knives permitted upon the table
simultaneously, and for this rule very
strange reason is assigned. His royal
highness is very superstitious, and on
no account will he incur the risk Of
having knives crossed inadvertently.
The wineglasses are placed, by the bye,
in line as straight as a company of
soldiers, and the services are simply fold
ed in two. Small water bottles are used,
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
in Marlborough House
Dinner begins at s :45 p. m. and lasts
for one hour and ten minutes. Rapid
service is insisted upon. Yet four or five
walters only are allowed to enter the
dining room, which is, however, some
distance from the kitchen. Celebrity and
dispatch are obtained by the employ
ment of small army of assistants sta
toned behind the scenes.
For dessert royal blue sevres is used,
and when the time has come for coffee
and cigars the custom is once during
the year, and only once-the night of
the Derby dinner-to hand to each guest
a silver lighter of unique design. No
two lamps are alike, as they have at va
rious times been presented by different
donors to the Prince of Wales, and each
one has its history. Home

THREE FOR A NICKEL.
A Shrewd Ohio Postmaster Causes q Rush
For Postage Stamps.

A Shrewd Ohio Postmaster Causes Rush
For Postage Stamps.
The business world of the village Of
Johnstown, in Ohio, had succumbed to
the heat and had lain down for the sum-
mer siesta. Plainly things needed stir
ring up, and it was Postmaster and Edi-
tor W. s. Ashbrooke who did it. His
humble instruments were merely piece
of white pasteboard and some black
paint, the latter, however, mixed with
shrewd quality of brains.
When his preparation was finished, a
large placard challenged the notice of
all passersby with the startling legend,
Postage stamps, three for cents. "
The first response to this alluring state
ment was from drummer He accosted
the postmaster, "Do you mean to say
that you actually sell three postage
stamps for nickel?" The postmaster
replied that this was undoubtedly the
case. "Well," said the drummer, 81
never saw a reduction in stamps before.
I'll take So worth I don't need 'em,
but it's the best bargain in stamps
ever heard Of
He waited with a gratifed smile
while Mr.. Ashbrooke put his So bill in
the drawer and counted out the stamps.
By this time his expression of compla-
cency had given place to one of chagrin,
and as he pocketed the stamps he re-
marked, "Well, that's one on me. -
Presently winsome girl came trip
ping up with letter to her sweetheart.
When she read the placard, her eyes
sparkled with pleasure to think that the
stream of coin she was steadily pouring
into Uncle SANS Golfers was to be even
slightly diminished. She laid down a
nickel with confident air and said,
"Give me three stamps. /"
The obliging collector of government
revenues pushed her out two twos and a
one. Then perhaps he didn't pay for his
little joke. Feminine scorn held the
floor in that Office for the next five min
utes. Then, with the somewhat feeble
peroration, "Will Ashbrooke, you think
you re smart, don't your" the offended
maiden founced out Of the Office.
