There Were Drawbacks to Her Gener-
aIIv Good Health.

Old Mrs Parlin had reached the age
of 90 years, and her two daughters,
both women of nearly 60, were often
heard to say that the old woman took
as much comfort as anybody says the
Youths Companion" Their unchang-
ing affection failed to see the changes
that were so pathetically apparent to
others.

Mr.. Hanna attributes his success to
the fact that he sells cheap and that
he originally bought the highest pre-

he always studied and kept the top

six Hundred HerefOrds at Auction.

All Of our readers Interested in beef cat
tie, especially the Herefords, commonly
known as "wbitefaces, - ought to be inter-
ested in the great closing out sale an
nounced elsewhere in this issue. The
offerings will consist Of the entire regis
tered herd known as the Rock Greek herd
that was founded in the early sos by
Thomas j. Higgins, formerly of Council
Grove, Kas.
The reader, IL he will call to mind the
Hereford cattle exhibits at the State Fair
circuit west Of the Mississippi river in 1885,
1885, 1887 and 1885, will doubtless call to

mission men, and other necessary build
ings for the accommodation of the fast
increasing horse and mule market at that
place.
In the future these columns will con
tain more extended notice of the facilities
for handling stock at these yards. Mr..
Gordon Knox, the Vice President of the
company, is most genial fellow. Any
one visiting St. Louis cannot afford TO
leave the city without seeing the great
horse and mule market of the National
stock yards.
Campbell & Minis are doing an excel
lent business They sold 400 head on
Wednesday, February u, and the stock
brought fair prices, considering the past
market. Mr.. Campbell is man of widI
experience in handling the higher grade
horses and takes great pride in securing
customers for that class of stock. In
fact, no man need leave his barn for a
buyer if he has strictly tirst-class export
stock.
A representative of the ADVOCATE
visited this market last week and found
John Kirk, the enterprising horse and
mule commission man, receiving enor-
NOUS consignments. On February he
sold over 600 head. This only proves
the popularity of Mr.. Kirk. His fifteen
years experience in the commission bust
ness has placed him among the best
posted men on the market. His increas-
ing trade proves that his numerous Gus,
toners appreciate his ability and per-
sonal efforts in their interest.
The A. B. Clark Co. is another enter
prising horse and mule commission firm
at the National stock yards. This COM
psny has secured the services Of W. M.
Speak, formerly auctioneer for W. S.
Tough & Son, Of the Kansas City horse
and mule market. He is considered one
Of the best auctioneers in the country,
and the company is fortunate in secur-
ing his services. Mr.. Clark was form
erly Of Omaha, and says his trade is
double what he expected up to date.
They take especial pains to personally
attend to stock consigned to them.
Shippers will make no mistake in send
ing their stock to this firm.

shadOwgraphy-A New Discovery.

70 the new discovery Dy PrOE. hOenC"
gen, Of Germany, that Of casting rays
Of light through Opaque substances
and registering on 40 photographers
plate shadows of the Different sub.
stance through which the rays passed.
The result and the important use of
the discovery are best explained by
the following instance. which is one of
many of the same kind: A living
human hand was "shsdowgrsphed"
and the picture on the plate showed a
light shadow the shape of the hand.
Inside the outlines of the shadow was
a darker shadow representing the
bones, and inside of them was still
darker shadow cast by lesdsn bullet
which had been lodged in the hand.
So there is no doubt but what the dis
CoVery will be of great benefit in q
medical way, and it can be made to
serve the purpose of discovering the
contents of wood, iron and other sub
stances, without cutting or breaking
them.
The work Is done with the aid Of
electric light appliance, The explsns-
ton Of the process as given by Prof,
Morrison, OF Kansas City, seems to be
IN more simple language than any
other that has appeared in the news
papers. He says.
''I will explain the experiment as
follows: There are certain ether waves
Of light to which glass and some other
substances are transparent to the hu-
man eye; there are other ether waves
to which so.Cslled Opaque substances
are transparent. These on-luminous
ether waves have received the Rtten-
ton of scientific men for several years.
The Investigations were started by DR..
Hartz, q German professor. Since his
discoveries various experlmenters have
been working with ether waves. These
ether waves have been passed through
such opaque bodies as stone walls,
wood, metals, etc. We have done
something with them in the High
school; for instance, among other
things, currents of sufficient voltage
to light the largest Geissler tubes have
been passed through the human body
without being felt. One very pretty
experiment was In focusing the waves
by means of ordinary refectors. In
these foci incandescent electric light
bulbs were illuminated by holding
them In the hand without other cleo
trical contact, the light having passed
through the human body. The new
experiments now being so widely
talked about consist In exposing a sen.

waves or rays. Roentgen's Contribu-
ton therefore, consists In thinking of

term is understood. In true photog-

graphed and focused through lens to
the plate. Glass is imperVious to these
rays; therefore in the new process, the
object intercepts the rays, casting what
might be termed an ether shadow.

The Great Coming Sale Of Pedlgreed Prize
Winning Poland Chlnas.

One Of the greatest dispersion sales Of
registered Poland China swine yet an
nounced so far this year, is that Of the herd
known as Sunny Slope Farm herd of prize
winning animals, owned by Mr.. O. S. Cross,
Of Emporia, Kas.
This herd won more first premiums and
sweepstake prizes at four Of the leading
State fairs last year than did any herd in
the entire West, and possibly more than
did any one single herd In the United
States. The reader will find on consulting
the sale advertisement found elsewhere in
this issue that all the show animals will go
into the sale along with the entire herd as
1t Is positively closing out sale. Mr..
Cross and the manager, Mr.. Leibfried, are
especially DESTROYS that any Poland China
breeder send for q free copy Of the ele-
gautly Illustrated and best swine sale cata-
l0gue ever issued in the United States.
Emporia Is situated on the main line Of
the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe railroad,

Black Ants and Cociroaehes in Guiana at

chair will provide a suitable gangway,
or they will even run over your clothes
as you sit at dinner. They even get into
our beds, and we wake up at night and
find hundreds of these tiny creatures
crawling over us ami giving us vicious
bites here and there. Then the baby
cries in the next room, and its nurse
wakes up to find the little pests running
over its face and sucking the moisture
from its eyelids. The child wakes up
and rubs the part with its fist, to be re-
warded with sundry bites on his deli
cate skin. Or perhaps one of thens has
got into his ear, and the child screams
with all his might then the mother or
nurse has much ado with a syringe and
oil before silence is ogain restored.
Now come the cockroaches. Not
that they have ever been entirely
wanting, but as long as the weather was
dry they could hide under heaps OF
dead leaves or about the roots Of trees
in the garden. Routed from these snug
quarters, they appear in great numbers,
flying into the open sitting-rooms, and
perhaps making lady scream out with
disgust as one of them sprawls on her
dress. Their object is to hide them
selves as soon as possible, no matter
where, and female drapery is very con-
venient. Like the ants, these sinking
creatures invade our bedrooms, and n
newcomer is warned not to sleep with
his mouth open, for he might wake to
find one exploring the cavity. Those
who have lived in the tropics for any
length of time can hardly escape tast-
ing the cockroach. Now and then they
run over etfr dishes a md feavr their taste
and smell behind, while occasionally
one gets into the -four barrel and spoils
your cake or pudding. We have seen
bits of their carcasses in our bread, and
have had to re ject roll altogether from
such cause.
Now that the ground is well soaked,
the wood ants or termites begin to
swarm. They fly for little while, but
quickly get rid of their wings, to crawl
into the chnks and crannies of the
floor, between the covers of books and in
fact everywhere. They litter the table
with their cast-oif wings, and if not
looked after will do serious damage in q
few days. Furniture is bored with
holes, books are eXcavate1 to provide
nests, and the house itself becomes
ultimately little more than home for
wood ants.-James Roadway, in Apple
tons Popular Science Monthly.
