TOLD EVA SOCIETY GIRL.
Something About morphine, Sulphur, Mo

Among the popular society leaders in
Eas5 Orange, n. J., Emma L. StolI, q
charming young maiden, stands in the
foremost rank. She is of a loyable dis
position and the light of the social set in
which she moves. For two years she has
been sick girl from internal troubles
peculiar to women, and having recently
recovered, has given our reporter the fol
lowing interesting account:
Instead of improving under the care
of my physician | became worse. For
i've weeks l was unable to get out of bed
and ABOUT six o'clock each morning /
suffered horribly. My lips were sore and
lacerated from the marks of my teeth, for
in my efforts TO keep from screaming I
sunk my teeth deep into my lips. AT
such times l rolled and tossed until the
bad shook like an aspen leaf, and it final
ly got SO serious that the dootoF-l won't
tell you his name-gave me some NOR
phine pills to take. The very thought of
them now makes me shiver. These NOR
phiDe pills simply put me to sleep for
awhile and when [ became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
The pain in my stomach and back was
more than I could stand. Your blood is
poor, said the doctor, take sulphur and
molaases, and 1 did unUil 1t was a great
NOuuGF bIltU was AOb mOl6SS6S C6thGs
It WAS time wasted in taking it because
was not benefited in the least: my
suffering continued, but by mighty
effort after being in bed so long | got up.
oh, but was a sad sight then. From
1l2 pounds, / had fallen to ninety; my
cheeks were pale and sunken and I
imped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then read of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the testimonial in the News inspired
me with hope. / got the pills and took
them. Before many days I began to i'm
prove, and before had finished one box

miles / soon stopped limping, and
Though the Pink Pills soon bid good
bye to my headaches, while the pain in
my stomach aud back slowly but surely
succNmbed to the influence of these pills
that seem to be able to persuade all pain
to leave ones body. Now I am as /
used to be; we'll and strong, light
hearte d and merry, but never without
the pills. See 1 have got some of them
now," and from nearby desk she hand
ed out CtEle of the boxes.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills ontain, in
a condeu s ed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
Llood and restore shattered nerves. They
are also q aspecific for troubles peculiar TO
females, srrioh as suppressions, irregulari-
ties and q g. forms of weakness. They
build up he blood, and restore the glow
of health b pale and sallow cheeks. In
men they infect a radical cure in all

The worlds Population.

From time to time numerous esti-

been published, but among the latest
and probably the most reliable is Messrs.
Wagner & Supan's estimate of about
/, 4so, 900, 900 of people, divided as fol-
lows:
Europe 857, 852 600
Asia ...........,............ s25,954 600

Australia and South Pacific islands 5,6s5, 900
Greenland, etc....................... 11,000
Total 479, 790 600
This approximation was arrived at in
1891, so that today it probably exceeds
1900, 900, 900 souls, which means about
80 persons to every square mile of the
earth, the rate of increase being from
about to per cent every decade. i.

P1ov Up the Old Fields.


There are too many acres of WORKOUT
sod on the farms Of the country, par
ticularly in the long settled portions.
The sooner such sod is plowed up the
better. AS soon as the hay is off, turn
it over. This early blowing of the land
permits the raising of a catch crop in
the fall in either barley for fodder,
turnips, or CARRIAGES for stock-feeding
and also gets the sod rotted and fine
for the planting Of the land next spring.
Sod turned late in the fall is tough and
unrotted in the spring, causing less
depth of soil for the crops, a more diff
ficult working, and loss to the
planted crop of the fertility that would
come from a rotted sod. Another ex-
cellent plan, in ATTITUDES that will per-
nit it, is to turn the old sod i1mmedi-
ately after the hay is, off, dress the land
and sow crimson clover to be plov11d
under next spring When fall-sown
crimson clover will do we'll, there is
no cheaper method of getting fertility
into the soil than this, for the clover
stores up nitrogen from the air and,
when turned under, delivers it UP to
the soil as a free gift. 1t is 'snitro-
gen trap" and Of the greatest possible
service to the farmer.

SPEEDING A LOCOMOTIVE.

What 1T Means to Run a Huge Ma
chine at Sixty Miles an Hour
At 'sixty miles an hour the resistance
Of q train lis four tines as great as it is
at thirty miles that is, the fuel must
be four times as great in the one case
as 1T lis in the other. But at sixty miles
an hour this fuel must be exerted for
given distance in half the time that
it is at thirty miles, so that the
amount of power exerted and steam
generated in a given period of time
must be eight times as great at the
faster speed. This means that the ca
paciW.of the boiler, cylinders and the
other parts must be greater with cor
responding addition to the weight of
the machine. Obviously, therefore, if
the weight per wheel, on account Of
the limit of weight that the rails will
carry, is limited, we soon reach a point
where the driving wheels and other
parts cannot be further enlarged, and
then we reach the maximum of speed.
The nice adjustment necessary Of the.
various pants of these immense engines
may be Indicated by some figures as to
the work performed by these parts
when the locomotive is working at high
speed. Take a passenger engine on
any of the big railroads. At sixty.
miles an hour a driving wheel five and
one-half feet in diameter revolves five
times every second; now the recipro-
eating parts Of each cylinder including
one piston rod cross-head and connect
ing rod weighing about $50 pounds,
must move back and forth distance
equal to the stroke, usually two feet,
every time the wheel reyolyeg, Or in o
fifth Of a second. It starts from a
state of rest at the end of each stroke
Of the piston, and must. acquire a We
loeity of thirty-two feet per second in
one-tWentieth of a second, and must be
brought to a state of rest in the same
period Of time. A piston eighteen inch.
es il diameter has an area Of 81 1-2
square inches. Steam Of $50 pounds
pressure per square inch would, there.
fore. exert a force OF. the piston equa
TO ::}}SE pounds. This force is applied
alternately on each side Of the piston
ten times per second. Ladies' Home

The Origin of Corn.

In view of the general distribution Of
corn in the United States and it's i'm
mense value as grain crop, it is sin
gular that SO little is generally known
as to it's origin. Mr.. J. w. Harshberg-
er has recently made a contribution to
the history of the plant, under the fol-
lowing heads: Botany, origin. geo.
graphical distribution, chemistry, util-
ity, etc., entitled, contributions from
the Botanic Labors tory IF the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania" which is, per-.
haps, the most complete ever written
on the subject. In this notice of it, we
deal only with the question Of the orr
gin of corn. The author believes it to,
have originated in Mexico at the eleva-
ton of $500 feet above the sea level:
and south of twenty-five degrees north,
latitude, at about the beginning Of the
present era.

Farm Notes

Never plow freshly-spread manure,
under.
Stir up the grain in the bins, and put
in few dried bricks, and thus prevent
mustiness.
Careless OF unskillful stacking is &,
sure way of giving something for Moth
ing.
Cruelty to farm machinery is not so,
inhuman as cruelty to dumb animals,
but it is woefully expensive.
The best-paying clcps are grown, not
by the farmer with the richest soil, but
by the one with the longest head.
The cool hour after supper is a good.
time to touch up the garden a hit, with,
well filed hoe.
Kill myriads of next years weeds,
weed seeds, in the fields, fence corners
and by-places.
When the land is too rough or brok-
en- to be cultivated to advantage, it
will be found a good plan to set out
trees.
Unless there is danger from the dis.
ease of potato rot, the potatoes will.
keep as well as anywhere if left in the
ground until cool weather.
No work about the farm gives more
solid and lasting satisfaction than a.
day OF two spent in fixing up the.
grounds around the buildings.
Having heavy growth of clover or
peas on the land, would it be advisable
to turn it all under just before seeding
the wheat?
How do you manage rolling or hill
land to prevent loss from the washing
away of soil, when under cultivation?
How do you make it retain moisture in
time Of drouth?
i Experiments show that while bis,,i-
phide Of carbon kills insects in store-
grain, or seed or carpets, without in.
jury; If applied to growing plants IL
sufficient strength to kill insects iuns!!..
the plants.
In trials made at the Missouri Az
ricultural college, horse manure proved,
more efficient each year for several
years trial than did an equal weight
OF cattle manure, the difference being
IA per cent.
If farming was made pleasanter, as
It easily could be, there would be less
of desire among the boys and girls,
to get off the farm, and life in the.
country would become so pleasant that.
people would Ie ready to admit that
the golden age" had really come
