swell, how do you like farming
Has the hog cholera got in your pig

escape an epidemic of appendicitis
that was raging in the city, extracted
silver from his thumb and replied

hen. The hens were all laying, and,

Wifa vs.. Horse.

Husbands, give to your wives at least as
much consideration as you would a pet an
nimal. You would not knowingly work a
favorite horse while sick. Yet, how many
feeble, debilitated wives work on, dragging
out weary lives, made miserable by the
many diseases peculiar to women. They suf-
fer in silence and because delicacy prevents
complaint you underestimate the disease
and its effect in shortening her life. Get her
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. We as
sure you that no sufferer from those painful
and weakening female diseases, which
wreck the constitutions of so many women.
can take it without being benefited. The
greatest restorative tonic and strengthening
nervine known to medical science. Produces
refreshing sleep and drives melancholy away.
Prevents threatened insanity, and cures
sleeplessness, nervous debility, spasms, st.
Vitus's Dance, and kindred nervous diseases.

For the next few weeks the leading
items of news will relate to the Repub.
lican and Democratic National Conven
tion, the Republican Convention will
meet at St. Louis on the 10th inst, and
as the National Committee will begin
its sessions on the 10Th, the interest is
now at fever heat. Newspapers are
supposed to be able to accomplish won-
ders, but it is doubtful whether one
person in a thousand appreciates the
effort which great journal puts forth
to please its readers. At st. Louis. for
instance, 1.-THE Philadelphia Pressn
will be represented by Hon. Charles

Col. George N. Mccain, Mr.. E. ]. Glib

men will control the services of a corps
of skilled telegraphers and every de-
tail of the proceedings will be given to
the readers of 1.-THE Press" each day.
1t is doubtful whether any newspaper
has ever been represented at ore point
by so distinguished staff.
1t is worthy of note, too that Mr..

sailed for England last Saturday in
order to cable 1.-THE Pressn special re-
ports ofthe International Regatta on

URBAN vs.. RURAL LIFE.


|. In discussing the concentration
population into cities and towns the
San Francisco Examiner takes the .op-
posite side of the question from that
usually taken by the press. 1t contends
that if people leave the country for the
city, it is for some good reason. They
prefer it because life in the city is
more agreeable and living can
be made with less work. There are
plenty of people still living in the
country. 1t adds, to produce more than
enough food for the whole population
urban and rural, to Consume. This is
narrow view to take of the matter.
In the cities the ranks in every occu-
patton are Overcrowdsd, and there is a
fsrce struggle for employm mt and for
bread. The life in the crowded dis
tricts Of The city is surely not as
healthy AS in the pare ar and uneon-
fned space Of the country.
When the man nf small means goes

lily go TO Increase the am, urt of food

meat, poultry, butter and eggs or veg

such other necessalies as cannot be
produced onfthe land will bs for sale.
1t great many people are living on
small tracts, they will be close together
and that will add sDcial features, the
absence of which is rsally what makes
country life unpopular, especially with
women.

Deafness Cannot be Cured,

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but ar inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

WANAMAKER CLOTHING

We sell 5000, ,ooo-worth of

Do you know what belongs
in a store that sells 5000, 900
worth of'clothing a year,?
Yes, in a general way, you
do; you know, in a general
way, that part of the stock
that you pick your clothes out
of. You don't know particu-
lars; can't. Why, we keep
some hundreds Of statesmen
with nothing todo but to know
our stocks and to take you
right to your part of EN- when
you come in.
The way for you to know it
is to come in. A salesman will
take you to what you want to
see in a minute 'twon't take
him a minute to find you out
if he never saw you before.
It's wonderful.
That's the way to know your
part of the stock: come in.
Take half-an-hour off; if it
takes you more than halfan-
hour it'll be because you enjoy
it; you'll see so many things
that you want that it's hard to
choose. A hardship that Gus
toners bear with singular for
titude !
All we advertise for is to
keep you in mind of us.

The teased colt is sire to the ill-tem

The best fed work horse has the
heavy grain ration in ths morning and

night.

clean and bathed each evening with

When you have good horse stick

not be completely sound, but be does
all you need of horse, is safe and
healthy. Why change, even If some
Jockey with a more snowy horse does
offer to trader You know nothing Of

the man who deals in horses knowst
more about them than you do, and tha

He is In the business for what he can

We prefer to have the colt in the

in the stable both it and the mare will
fret. Besides, the colt should suck
every two or three hours.

Sick-poison is poison which matos you
sick 1t comes from the stomach The
stomach makes it out of undigested f"d
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested,
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick poison out Of
fyour stomach is too weak to see to this
properly by itself, help it along with few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is delicious,

THE FAuLTLEss FOOT.

A truly beautiful foot must first be
free of all blemishes and in perfect
proportion to the leg and the stature.
The instep should be high or moder-
ately high and the portion under the
instep hollow and well raised above the
level of the sole, the toes regular and
well developed and the heel narrow
and non projecting. The general out
line of the perfect foot is long, slender
and graceful. The toes of the beauti-
ful foot, according to Flaxman, should
follow each other imperceptibly In a
graceful curve from the fist to the filth,
and in the Greek foot, according to the
most famous statues. the second toe
was made longer than the great toe.
The beauty Of the longer second toe is
disputed.

difficult faculty of preventing the too

fruit of long, solitary study, and the
