The wife of our esteemed citizen,
Mr.. John Boswell, while suffering I'M
der a severe attack of the blues, tried
to commit the infanticide, but was

a neighbor. Her case has been con-
sidered by the best doctors incurable,
but her husband was highly pleased,
after using a course of sulphur Bit
ters, to find that she was entirely
cured.-Kingston Herald.

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to wo1nankind III the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-wee1ss,
months, years. The story of weakness
aud torture is written IN the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, IN the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn 1nodesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and ''1oca1 treatment.

There was going to be an awful spat.

And the calico cat replied me W."

With fragments OF gingham and calico.

What the old Dutch clock declares is true }

And walled: "Oh, dear! what shall we do?"

The United States department OF
agriculture says that in constructing
new dirt roads all stumps, brush, veg
stable matter, rocks, and powders
should be removed from the sur
face, and the resulting holes filled in
with suitable material, carefully and
thoroughly tamped or rolled, before the
road embankment is commenced. No
perishable material should be used in
forming the permanent embankment.
Wherever the subgrade soil is found
unsuitable 1t should be removed and re-
placed with good material rolled to a
bearing. The roadbed having been
hf5aght to the required grade and
crown should be rolled several times to
compact the surface. All inequalities
discovered during the rolling should be
leveled UP and rerolled. On the pre-
pared s.hs::do the earth should be
spread, narrowed if necessary, and then
rolled to a bearing by passing the un-
ballasted road roller a number of times
W. every portion Of the surface Of the
section.

A dentist in Connecticut says he ex-
poets to meet his pet parrot in heaven.
We trust the bird has as as good a pull
OF that kind as it's master; but to admit
the theory is to admit 100 much. A
clergyman who has written a charming
book regarding his several dogs ex-
poets to meet not only those animals
in paradise, but all the animals and in
sects that ever existed, including mo-
sqsitoes, black flies, and the original
tadpole. Even he may be r:ght; and it
is a comforting reflection therefrom
that we larger angels will dwell there
solely in the spirit, SO that our old COM
panions and prosecutors will lave moth
ing of us to bite on.
