Attractive Women.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admirable
and attractive thing about WON
and is her womanliness. Everybody
admires a womanly woman, she
must have health, of course, be-
cause without it she would lose the
brightness of her eyes, the fullness
of her cheek and her vivacity. ReaI
health must mean that woman is
really woman. That she is strong
and perfect in a sexual way, as wei
as in every other. That she is ca
pable of performing perfectly the
duties of maternity. Some are born
with what is called constitutional
weakness" Those who do not en-
Joy perfect health need only take
the proper precautions and the
proper remedy to become perfectly
well and strong. DR.. Pierces Fa'

SENSATIONAL.

The news that is now being sent
out of Cleveland, Ohio, has a SEN
sational twist to it, that would
make an anarchist turn over on his
pallet, and laugh at the idea ex-
pressed. The st. Louis Chronicle,
paper that prints "big heads"
and little bodied articles, says that
Mckinley will certainly withdraw
from the race, as he did not wish to
be placed on a gold platform when
nominated, and he and his manager
Mark Hanna, are having all sorts
of times with each other. The
idea is now with the Republicans to
let Mckinley come down and let the
goldbug Democrats nominate Gro
yer Cleveland, and they will meet
and endorse the stuffed prophet,
and try and elect him. Should he
be once more elected, they will
build him a throne, whose super
structure will rest upon the hatred
of the north for the south, and it
will be goodby tree America then.
All of these dire things are predic-
tions merely, and we will have TO
wait and see the outcome.

The Kansas Democrats and Popu-
lists propose to fuse, and put out
but one electoral ticket, and that
will contain Bryan and Sewall men
named by the Democrats. They in
turn ask the Democrats to endorse
some of their candidates they may
name. If this scheme is carried
out, the state will 90 overwhelm-
ingly for Bryan. When we take
into consideration that we are fight
ing Republicanism, we favor fusing
or anything else honorable to down
the party of trust and spoilation.
Let us treat the Populists fair, and
they will come back to the party
they cut loose from, and Republi-
canism, pensionism and fraudism
will soon be wiped out of the coun-
try, and men who are now drawing
pensions and at the same time max
ing big wages and salaries, will be
retired to the rear from the pension
list, where they belong.

Hefting the Baby.

The fond mother who puts her infant
ON the penny slot weighing machine
and exnlts over its pounds of solid flesh
only repeats the most ancient of Gus
toms, "hefting the baby Thus Pro
fessOr Cham berlain's remarks may fur
nish many valuable anthropometric
data. Haberlandt has written a curious
paper on the weighing of men in India
and how the devotees to some of their
gods propitiated them by gift, the
weight of which exactly corresponds
with the ponderosity of the supplicant.
''Thou art weighed in a balance and
found wanting" (DanieD may have its
origin in this custom. Critical examina-
tiOns, curiously enough, were made in
the past as to the effectiveness of prayer
in Brittany when an i'll man came to a
certain shrine seeking a cure. He was
weighed, so as to see whether he gained
or lost flesh as the religious regimen
under the priests was being carried out
Professor Chamberlain gives an Eskimo
custom: When a man or a woman is
sick, the nurse puts stone under the
patients headrest. Then she weighs
the stone III her hands daily, and if,
supposedly, the stone feels heavier, then
the sick one will be cured If the stone
seems to be lighter, then there is no
chance Of recovery. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er an Italian woman having child
born in America would ever submit it
to the trial of the balance 1t would be
deemed unlucky.-New York Times.

Sympathy.

The Boston Transcript says that a
clergyman was recently the guest of a
friend who was a college president On
Sunday morning he arose very early and
went out to take walk in the delight
full air. Not a soul was stirring at first
but as the clergyman's steps led him to-
ward the business portion of the village
he noticed a seedy looking individual
peering into various shady resorts in
turn. He watched him with mild
curiosity. and apparently the other was
not wholly oblivious of him and
considered that the doctor of divinity
was up for something. At last, after
the two had proceeded all up and down
the main street in semicompany, the
shabby and blear eyed man turned to
the immaculate minister and remarked,
with infinite sadness and pity in his
tone: 'Tain't no use, pard. All the
places is closed up.

PRUNING INSTRUMENTS.

In regard to the instruments required,
all that is necessary is an ordinary
pruning knife and a small saw. Shears
may be used, but with some experience
1 have had lately with shears, l con-
slider the knife is preferable, for all
branches should be severed with clean
cut, and as close to the primaries as
possible, which cannot always be done
by the shears. All large branches are
treated with the saw first, then trim
med with the knife.
1t cannot be too forcibly impressed
upon all those interested in coffee cuI-
ture that when once a tree has been
topped, pruning supplemented by sys-
tematic and careful handling, form the
most important and scientific work the
planter will have to contend WHITEHALL
ure to perform which will bring ruin
and disaster on the most carefully laid
out plantation.
In Ceylon, any superintendent who
could neglect to prune or handle an es-
tate under his charge would be consid-
cred in the same light with the one who
failed to harvest his crop when ripe,
and would have received a prompt dis
charge.
Without pruning and handling there
can be little or no crop. All the fer
tilizing in the world will not remedy
the evil. 1t would be sheer waste of
time and money to apply manure to
trees which were a mass of wood, as
it would be likewise a folly to attempt
such work in a plantation overrun
with weeds.
In order that fertilizers may produce
the results for which they are intended,
certain well defined conditions must
first exist on the plantation to be treat
ed. AS this, with the expenditures and
cost of various works, will form the
subject of my next article, 1 will say
no more at present.
Before concluding, there is one piece
of advice l should like to offer to small
planters, or those who are not pre-
pared or have not the means to under
take the work as described in this ar
ticle: Do not top your trees, but allow
them to grow to their natural heigh
You will undoubtedly experience some
and inconvenience in harvest
ing your crop; but after all, that is
preferable to having none to pick

admit It requires a good deal OF patience
on the part of the overseer or manager;
and it is needless TO say he must have
a thorough knowledge of the work him
self. If it was possible, therefore, to
train the Tamil coolie 10 do the work,
can see no reason why there should be
any more difficulty in breaking in the
Japanese to do likewise-some of whom
are just as intelligent, if not more so.
Moreover, although it may appear
somewhat elaborate, it is not really so,
provided the plantation is taken in
hand from the start, and all the various
details in the work are carried out at
the proper time.
If a plantation has been neglected,
then it is a very different thing. l have
seen some trees myself which l should
be very sorry to tackle. 1t would be
really hard to know where to begin.
The only advice | can give to those who
may be unfortunate enough to be en-
numbered with coffee trees in such a
state, is not to attempt to bring them
back to shape at once, for the shock
would be more than the trees would
be likely to stand. Moreover, what lit
tie crop they might have would require
to be sacrificed. 1t will require at least
two years, and perhaps three, if the
trees have been neglected for several
