The home is, after all, the best mar
ket for the American fruit grower.
Farmers and even orchardists have too
little of small fruit on their tables.
Half bushel of fruit per day the year
round can be profitably disposed of by
tho average family. A Connecticut
farmer kept an account of the small
fruit grown on half an acre of ground
and used by his family last year. He
charged the family with the fruit at
market rates and found it amounted to
eos, or more than s7O0 per acre. Such
small fruit culture pays, not only In
the money value of the product, but In
the healthful outdoor habits of life
which It encourages, and the hundred
other ways in which garden ministers

TONSIL TROUBLES.
Simple Home Treatment Which Is Very
Effective.

Simple Home Treatment Which Is Very
Effective.
The common name of this disorder is
"sore throat" although distinction
should be made between an affection
of the tonsils and an invasion Of any
other part of the throat.
Many persons have tendency to
tonsillitis, and upon the slightest ex-
posure the tonsils become inflamed
and swollen, causing much annoyance
as well as actual pain. The inflamma-
tion may even go on to liberation.
Then the disease is commonly known
as "quinsy."
What happens in tonsillitis is briefly
this: The membranes and underlying
tissues of the tonsils, which are usual
ly soft and spongy and covered with
secretion which keeps them always
moist, become congested, and the secre-
tion being wholly or nearly stopped,
the surface becomes dry and hot. There
is also more or less of fever accompany
ing the disturbance.
The commonest cause Of tonsillitis ia
probably exposure to cold and damp,
although it may be set up by any form
of direct irritation.
With those in whom there is ten
dency to tonsillitis, there is often pres
ent constantly more or less of a ca
tarrh of the upper respiratory tract.
Some writers even go so far as to say
that these cases are hereditary in their
nature, and it is true that very often
two or more members of the same fami-
ly are afflicted with the same dispose.
ton to the trouble.
Proximity to the sea coast or othef
places of damp and changeable TEN.
perature conduces to the chronic form
of this disorder.
The onset of an attack Is usually
sdden, and in short time symptoms
of n very disagreeable nature appear.
Headache, pain in the throat, inability
to swallow and general discomfort rem
der life unbearable. Not infrequently
earachc, from the extension of the in
fammation to the canal of the ear, adds
to the sufferers distress.
Fortunately, however, this disagree
able disturbance is speedily amenable
to proper treatment. The attack
should be made upon it from every
quarter; the general feverishness
should be dispeled by suitable per-
spiration starter, like drink of hot
lemonade, and the swelling of the tom
sils should be reduced by hot gargles
and by applications of heat or cold to
the angles of the jaw.
Above all, IL there is the slightest
appearance of liberation upon the sur
face of the tonsils, there should be no
delay in calling a competent physician,
since there Is danger of mistaking the
simple tonsillitis what may really be
diphtheria or quinsy.
Many persons advocate cutting off
the tonsils, especially where there Is q
pronounced tendency to inflammation.
This may be safely left to the judg-
ment of the family physician, although
1t may be said that an enlarged tonsil
is in itself an exciting cause of tonsil.

CoNvIcT-MADE ROADS.

Valuable Suggestion Contained In Gov.
Morton's Message.
Gov. Morton's inaugural message con-
tains among other good suggestions
one that Is of particularly great impor-
tance. He merely touches on the sub
ject, but the hint might be taken as
well by legislatures of other states as
by the assembly of New York:
The subject Of good roads is also commended
70 the attention OF the legislature. II is sug-
gested that convict labor may find employment
In this direction, particularly as q constitu-
ttonal amendment which takes effect two years
hence forbids the state from employing con-
victs at the state and county prisons, jails and
reformatories In any industrial art or useful
occupation In competition with the work or
products Of the people
The attention OF other people than
the bicyclist and Coxey lately has been
directed toward the subject of good
roads. This is practically a roadless
country. The best of our country wag-
on roads would not compare with the
worst roads in the remote north of Eng
land or in Germany and France. OF
course the older countries gained no
BILE heritage from the road-building
Romans in this respect, whereas on
this side of the water the railways
came so quickly after the open
ing of the country that road-build-
ing seemed an idle pursuit. Here and
there through the west one encounters
small stretch of well-laid road run
ming down to city or post office, but
in general the country roads are little
more than widened trails, unscien-
tifically filed in by the farmers in idle
times, rough in winter, impassably
muddy in spring and intolerably dusty
in midsummer.
The country has got old enough and
carriage travel in the country places
has increased to such an extent as to
make the necessity of better roads ap-
parent. By n coincidence the dispo-
sition to save free labor from the COM
petition of convict labor has also risen
Many states have laws against convict
contracts without means of keeping

Tho Nicaragua Canal.

The project OF the Nicaragua Canal has
been debated in the U. s. Senate very vigor-
ously. One thing should be remembered
about that climate, it is death to almost
every foreigner who goes there, and labor
ers especially succumb. II is said that the
Panama Railroad cost life for every tie.

the felons employed. In Illinois, al
though the present system here seems
working in promising way, it is still
subject to the protests of the labor
unions. What better channel for the
employment of the convicts could be
devised than that of road-building?

after a life of nearly three hundred

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Dr. J.. III WhitfOrd shoots his Wife
and Commits suicide.

The shocking Intelligence was recelv-
ed early Monday morning that DIR.
Henry Whitford, the Wllmo, physician,
had killed his wife and then committed
suicide The particulars of the hor-
rible affair were afterwards learned to
be about as follows: The family lived
on a farm few miles east OF Wilmot,
and consisted of the doctor, his wife ana
+son Clarence. IA years of age, In con-
nection with the practice Of his pro
fession the doctor managed his farm upon
which he lived. He had a few days be-
fore, while repairing farm machine,
quite badly injured his hand This in
Jury OF itself was not OF = serious char
acter. but the fact that the man had his
constitution undermined by drink, and
that he had recently attended the death
bed of his father, with perhaps more or
less financial worry, undoubtedly un-
balanced his mind and prompted him to
the frlghtful crime which he committed
People who saw him in Wilmot the day
before state that there was nothing
noticeable wrong with him, but IL IS
known that his wife had seen indications
Of his arrangement, as she had tel
egraphed for his mother, who. lives at
Northfield, but who was In st. Paul at
the time, and the lady a, once came on,
arriving at Milbank Saturday, and had
been taken to the farm by team the same
day and was there when the doctor ar
rived home from Wllmo:. That his
wife had not told him about this, was but
further proof to his disordered mind that
his friends had conspired against him
While greeting his mother atfectionately
he gave many indications Of disordered
mind, making up rhymes and stating re-
peatedly that the cattle and horses were
his friends as he never did any harm
to them. On Sunday afternoon he bad
taken short sleep, and upon arising
about2 O'Clock took his gun, saying he
was going hunting. Returning in Q
short time, while his mother and wife
were in the house, he entered and level
ed the gun at his wife, who exclaimed
20, Henry, don't point that gun at me- :
He Immediately fired, and the mother
ran from the building, and gave the
alarm to some neighbors. When these
arrived they found both the man and his
victim dead. Mrs. Whitford having
fallen where she was shot, with every
indication OF instant death, the upper
part OF the head being completely blown
off The doctor was sitting in a chair
with the gun resting against his limbs
