This is Certainly Chance Which Should
 Not Be Lost,

We are aware that our people who suf- fer from nervous, chronic or long standing complaints do not have the same oppor- tunity to be cured as do the residents of the great cities where the most eminent physicians and specialists reside. In oth- CT words our people are debarred from seeking a cure by the great and skilled physicians owing to the cost of travel to the large city and the high fees charged by such physicians.
 Here, therefore, is chance for the sick of our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th Street, New York City, who has the largest prac- tice in the world and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all sufferers whom their local physician has failed to cure. You have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing your complaints, and he will, after carefully considering your con- dition, send you letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. He will also give you his advice, based upon his vast experience and wonderful success in treating such cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing and you can thus have consultation with the best-knOwn physi- elan and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world, without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The Doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of all known medicines, Dr, Greenes Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy, and he has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write to him now, for this is a chance to get cured which you may nev- CT have again.

Napoleon and Josephine.

The day before the ceremony dele gation of the senate had formally an- nounced the result of the plebiscitum, and the emperor not only had guaran- teed the popular rights as secured by the revolution, but had promised to trans init them unimpaired to his children, but where were they? That same night at the last hour the empress, who in the eyes of the church had so far been only a concubine, obtained by the pope's in sistence what was the chief desire of her heart, but what had so often been refused by her husband-a secret mar riage to him by ecclesiastical rite.

The Best Floor.

The best and most satisfactory floor
for hen house is dry, clean dirt upon
an earth floor. The earth in the house
should be filled from six inches to one
foot above the ground surrounding the
house outside; this will prevent it from
becoming damp and disagreeabe to the
occupants. Under the roosts should be
thrown shovelful or more of loose, dry
dirt every morning, and the droppings
removed at least once a week and the
floor swept or scraped. A scratching
place should be divided off by setting up
boards foot high, making q pen in
which should be kept loose straw or
chaff to the depth of four to six inches,
and all loose grain fed fowls thrown ia
this pen. This will keep the hens busy
and the busy hens lay eggs. This should
not be allowed to become foul, but
should be renewed occasionally. A lib
eral supply of air-slaked lime scattered
over the floor will do much to ward keep
ing the house in good, wholesome con
dition.-Interstate Poultryman.
