A Word About White Glover.

Professor Henry Of the Wisconsin sta
ton is credited with the following: 1t
is not advisable to SOW white clover
alone ON land for hog pasture, but q
mixture Of several grasses, such as two
bushels of blue grass, one bushel of or
chard grass, one peck of timothy and
four pounds of white clover seed. Sow
this on three acres of ground, with a
very light seeding Of oats or barley, or,
better still, without any grain at all.
L is suggested that the land be not pas
ured until the sod is we'll formed, and
if the grass runs up tall that it may be
tut for hay. No stock should DO turned
in on the field until the second season,
unless for few weeks in the fall while
the ground is dry. Thick seeding is
urged.

tooth harrow, being careful to cover
all the surface. If the general ground
is dry, heavy roller to pack the sur
face may be used with profit. / should
not use grain as mulch or nurse crop.
AS the weeds spring up and begin to in
terfero put the moving machine to work
and cut the weeds down, leaving them
OH the ground unless the crop cut is
very heavy one, in which case it would
DO well to remove a part of the weeds
where they are the thickest. consider
the use of the moving machine on
pasture as decided help to the young
plants rather than otherwise. 1t retards
the growth of the top and allows the
development OF tho root that will in
after years send up an abundance of
heritage much greater than if left to
develop tho top at the expense of the
root.

AT her residence in the township of Owes
so, March 30, 1895, Mrs. Anna A. Shepard,
widow of Samuel Shepard, aged SO years,
2 months and days. Thus has passed
from the stage of life another of the old
pioneers of Shiawassee County, one among
the last survivors of those who by their
toll and sufferings did so much to re-
deem this fair county from the bowling
wilderness. The deceased was born in
Chemung county, New York. Was MARI ed
to Samuel Shepard in 1889. In 1S41 the
family removed to Michigan coming through
Canada in lumber wagon. AT that time
Michigan was covered with an almost un-
broken forest, there being but four families
then living in what is now Owosso town
ship. After one years residence in the
then small hamlet of Owosso the family
moved TO their farm in Owosso township
where the deceased has since lived. The
funeral services were held at the family
residence, March 3lst, and the remains de-
posted in Oak Grove cemetery, attended by
a large circle of mourning friends and sym
pathizlng neighbors. The family of the
deceased consisted of two children, Francis
M. Shepard and Hannah A. Mason, wife of
George T. Mason, who still live to mourn
her loss.
Farewell Mother, we have loved thee,
But our loss is sure thy gain;
And, oh, why should we begrudge thee
Thy release from toll and pain.
Thou hast passed from earth to heaven,
There to dwell among the blest.
We rejoice that there is given

Tho Lost leo AK.

The valley above San Damiano is
beautiful with rare loneliness. Debris
from the hillsides once filled the floor
across and made wide fiat area.
Through the deep bed Of conglomerate
thus formed the river has again cut
gorge, within which it gracefully winds.
In long green or wooded slopes the
mountains spread down on either side
to the fertile valley floor, villages are
planted on the edge of the lower ravine,
the sides of which are precipitous, with
birch trees growing on their lodges, now
and then a waterfall leaping down over
them. The floor of the ravine again is
fat, with grass lawns Of wonderful ver-
duro, contained by the loops of the clear
and hurrying waters.
As we drove along gazing at the Sc
ries of beautiful pictures thus revealed
to us, we turned corner, and long
tendril of wild rose in full blossom
reached out from the rocks OH our right
and arched the picture in. So entranced
were we that an ice AK, my companion
for Is summers, leaped out of the car
riage, and l did not miss it till we
reached the trysting place, where our
men awaited us. Aymonod went back
mile or so to look for it. He met some
PEASANTS and asked them if they had
seen such thing in the way. Eyes"
they answered, Lying in the middle of
the road" "Why did you not pick il
up, them" ooh, why should we? It
was not ours, and the next man we
met said the same 1--WE saw it and left
it, It was not ours" 1t lay where it
fell till Aymonod found and brought it
safely back. contemporary Review.

Our Position as to Foreign Affairs.
BY WILL ID. FITZPATRICK.

BY WILL ID. FITZPATRICK.
At present the problems before the Exec
utive of our government seem to be of for
eign nature. In our relation with foreign af-
fairs we have made ourselves perhaps toe
conspicuous in some respects, and in Others
we have held aloof from duties which ought
to demand our attention. In the handling
of its foreign affairs the government seems to
have withheld its action in some matters of
most vital importance to our nation all toe
long to be able to command the confidence
of the people which the acting power of a
republic ought to command. In these mat
tiers we refer more particularly to the
trouble arising from the interference of
England i'm the affairs of some of the states
of South America. Besides this particular
one, we have been engrossed in many COM
plications of minor importance with foreign
countries, none of which bear with them
so much Importance, resting upon immedi-
ate action, as does the difficulty which con-
fronts us from Venezuela.
In the northeastern part of South Ameri-
ca, in the close vicinity of and bordering on
the Orlnoco river, lies the part of the coun-
try which is giving rise to this question of
such great interest and concern to the
republic of the United States. This portion
of the country is divided between England
and the republic of Venezuela, the latter
holding the most desirable portion of that
valley. The difficulty lies in the unsettled
boundaries of the two countries and the
threatened suppression of the latter by the
former. The far-reaching greed of England
evidently sees chance for subjugation and
increase of territory and has taken this op-
portunty of asserting its authority on this
small and defenseless republic. 1t would
be a most disastrous blow to the western
world and most threatening one to the u.
s. should England gain control of this terri
tory. Its geographical position would give
to any power in control the entire command
of one of the three great waterways of South
America, which would eventually lead to
the complete control of the South American
continent and the immediate peril of the
United States.
AT the beginning of the dispute our gov
eminent offered her services as an arbitrator
but was not accepted; now she asks that the
matter be referred to uninterested parties
for arbitration, so that the trouble may not
result in the seizng of Venezuela by the
British.

ton, England, with the other countries of

work, by the advice of the wife of U. S.
senator in Washington, tried Paine's celery
compound. She says: "My spirits pi cked
up, and at the end of two weeks the same
old eXuberant health with which nature
blessed me had returned.
II ate and slept as had not done since l
was child, and haye never known since
then an hours inconvenience from nervous
prostration.
The medicine to which | owe so much is
Paine's celery compound, and 1 have recon-
mended it to all of my stage acquaintance
who have oyertaXed their brains 10y too
close attention to study, and all have ex-
perienced the same happy results as my
SELF"
Marie Tempest also, and host more of
the most eminent trtists who appear before
the public, have recently testified to the
wonderful reinvigoratng power of Paine's
celery compound. Their testimony i'm note
worthy because no class of women work
harder or are under greater nervous strain.
Women in every walk of life have reason
to be grateful to Prof. Phelps of Dart
mouth, who discovered Paine's celery COM
pound. He understood the peculiar weak
ness of the sex. He knew that the back
acke. lassitude, headache, sleepessness,
and loss of appetite all mean that the sup
ply of nervous force is low and inadequate
to the demands upon it. The experience of
thousands has taught the women of the
country that only Paines celery compound
will give health to the nerves, and, through
them, to the entire body.

The play is done, the curtain drops.
Slow falling to the prompter's bell.
A moment yet the actress stops and looks
arourd to say farewell.
1t is an rksome work and task,
And when she's laughed and said her say,
She shows as she removes her mask a face
that's nything but gay.
Acting is not all gaiety, lights and APP
plause.
There is deal of drudgery, vexation, and
heartache that the people in the front of the
house little imagine.
Mary Anderson used to advise young stage
struck girls to keep off the SAG. The
feverish excitement, the late hours, the
drudgery OF rehearsals, the unnatural stimu-
lus from new audiences, rivalry and ap-
pi luse, make the life full of perils to health
of mind and body. The careless theater-
going public have no notion of the strain on
the nerves that is inseparable from dra-
matte career.
But members of 1.-THE profession" know
what 1t Is, and they have, as body, learned
how best to keep their nervous systems
strong and capable of doing the hard work
demanded of them. That is why Paine's
celery compound is so popular on the stage.
Helen Barry, the we'll know actress,
writes to physician friend, from Tex Box
Cottage, Bellfost:
sit is with great pleasure l write to tell
you that L find Paine's celery compound
splendid tonic. L should like you to to pro-
cure me few more bottles"
