one of Vests Pleasant Comments.

Senator Vest is the ablest ready de-
batter on the democratic side of the
senate; and he was the only member
of his party in that body with whom
the brilliant Ingalls, of Kansas never
sought forensic wrangle. Senator
Vest is very apt story-teller, and
sometimes makes some of the most tell
ing points in his speeches by anecdotal
illustrations. One of his most te ling
applications of an incident was deliv-
cred when he ridiculed Senator Hill,
who is known to be Cleveland's worst
enemy, but who had delivered a long
speech in the senate, ostensibly in de-
Tense of Cleveland for his course in
tariff legislation. Senator Vest said:
II once made a speech in defense of a
noted criminal, but in order to save
him it became necessary for me to pic
ture him to the jury as man of such
low order of moral sensibilities
that he was ignorant of the ex-
tent of his legal responsibility and
therefore could not commit crime.
Well, saved him: but he afterwards
came to me and said that h would
rather go the penitentiary for lfe than
hear that speech again. Ana pre-
sumo that the president felt something
the same way when he read the speech
in his behalf which was delivered by
the senator from New York"

ran ps.,ur,nr winter Grain.

Some of our western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect of fall
pasturing winter wheat, says the Amer
lean Cultivator. We have seen wheat
that made too heavy growth in the
fall which was materially benefited
by pasturing with sheep while the
ground was dry and before the frost
had injured the feed. Sheep are better
for this than any other stock. They
are light in proportion TO the size OF
their feed. and their tramping over
light. porous soil makes it compact.
Then what they eat off in fall is only
what would be a constant drain on the
root whenever the weather is mild.
The wheat grower wants large
growth in the fall mainly to get a
vigorous root. If the top growth is
cut or eaten off the root is none the
worse for the fact.

The shetland Knltters.

The sphere of women in the Shetland
islands is we'll defined. The 'wee lass
is early taught to 'hae somethin' in
her hand" Her hands must be kept
busy, and this is done by teaching her
the art of knitting, which will more
than likely serve as her occupation
from the cradle to the grave. The
most important work done by these
women consists in the knitting of the
fine shawls which take their name
from the islands These shawls are
the principal articles knitted. but wells,
different kinds of underwear, as well
as fancy articles, are all made. and
when "dre ssed, as the cleaning pro-
cess is called, are taken to the local
dry gods or general merchandise
store, when they, despite the law, are
simply bartered for anything the mer-
chant has for sale, money transac-
ton being of the rarest occurrence.
Bellamy, or some others of that school,
would do well to study the life of the
Shetland crofter or small farmer
which, though simple, is an ideal one.
The little farm produces the necessa-
ries of life; the women with their knit
ting procure the luxuries. and the men
with their fishing pay the rent and
manage ito lay something by for a
rainy day. Ladies' Home Journal.

The preceding winter had been a

% sudden exceedingly warm spell of
weather which melted the SHOWS, and
then warm rain pcared down in
torrents during the entire day of the

and strong east wind drove it far ont
in the lake during the night. But at
sunrise on the Goth the wind came from
the west. and, as the sailors say. it was
blowing great guns. This terrific
gale drove the immense mass of ice

it was gorged and piled up from shore

tremendous power back of those
streams accelerated their flowing; and

A Swedish Domestic Who Affords Her
Mistress Much Amusement.
Hoelma is a rosy-cheeked Swedish
domestic, whose struggles with the

country are a constant source of amuse-
ment to her mistress. Being observ-
ing, willing and amiable, Hoclma is
slowly learning the ways of Ameri-
cans. And she apparently derives as
much amusement from the process as
she affords to others.
The other day fine pair of ducks ar
rived at the house where Hoelma is
employed. They were the gift of a
friend of the family, and were placed
in the ice-box for the next days dinner.

MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR
An Oft Repeated Story of True
Philanthropy.
What Chas. II. Hackley Has Done for
Western Michigan.

(F'rom Grand Rapids, Mich, E0eRiHg Press)
The most beautiful spot in all this city is
inseparably associated with the name of
Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been in the
lumber business here continuously since
1856 and in that time has amassed a fortune
which gives him rating among the wealthy
men of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening of the purse
strings which is generally a marked char
acteristic of wealthy men.
1t is not wonder then that the name of
Charles II. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. His muniiicence to Muskegon alone
represents an outlay of nearly half million.
For the past twenty years he has been a
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheu-
matism, also numbness of the lower limbs
so much so that it has seriously interfered
with his pleasure in life For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed to grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had in youth.
To reporter for the Press Mr.. Eackley
explained the secret of this transformation.
Il have suffered for over 20 years. lie said,
with pains in my lower limbs so severely,
that the only relief could get at night was
by putting cold water congresses on my
limbs. Twas bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains in my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, finally be-
came chronic. l made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief and
then fell back to my original state. !
couldn't sit still and my safferings began TO
make life look very blue. Two years ago
last September noticed an account of DIR
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
cases so nearly resembled mine that Iwas
interested, so | wrote 10 one who had given
testimonial, an eminent professor of music
in Canada. The reply received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and 1t
gave me faith in the medicine.
Il began taking the pills and found them
to be all that the professor had told me they
would be. IL was two or three months be-
fore experienced any perceptible better
such long standing that | did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even TO
be relieved. progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself a perfectly well man. |
have recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others TO

full medicine l cannot say too much for
what it has done for me''
DR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams

dreamed that he had been bitten and
MORALLY wounded by the marble lion
which stood with open jaws in front of
certain church. Walking past the
church with few friends on the fol-
lowing day he told them of his dream,
and placed his hand in the lions mouth,
with the words: Now bite me-" At
that very instant he felt violent pain,
fora scorpion that lay concealed in the
lions jaws had stung him so severely

A NOVEL AND GOOD TRAP FOR ANIMALS.
from the poisoning of one carcass. This
was in Montana where the wolves are
very plentiful.
1t takes two bottles of strychnine to
poison one dead COW or horse and from
one-fourth to one-third of bottle for IA
sheep; smaller animals or birds require
less porportionate amount.
All the carnivorous animals may be
destroyed by strychnine. The larger
ones may be poisoned by putting a few
crystals in small balls of butter or lard.
When the animal is frozen so you can
not poison it scatter the balls round
about.
Small animals can he poisoned by
poisoning scraps of meat, or small
birds, mice or fish. The red fox can be
easily poisoned where he could not be
trapped.
Strychnine must he handled with
great care. IT should be used moder-
ately in small bats and placed where
dogs and cats are not likely to find it.
Poisoned animals may be kept for
months if necessary, and if promptly
removed when thawed the skins viii
be good.
A hole bored in a log or block of
wood and filled with lard mixed with
strychnine is very effectual when
weather is not freezing. They lick it
out so slowly that they die before they
get away.
THE above Is an illustration of log
or rail pin securely pinned or nailed
together. 1t is twice as wide at the
bottom as it is at the top, and the size
will depend upon the size of animal
you intend to catch.
As the sides are sloping, he walks up
readily, and, smelling the appetizing
bait that is placed in the center on the
ground. he jumps down in and is un-
able to jump out. A correspondent
says he finds this very effectual.
One of the cheapest and best traps
can be made from an old stove pipe
pounded so that it is square, as you see
