''Ten people out of dozen are in
valids,' says a recent medical author
ity. At least eight out of these ten,
it is safe to allow, are suffering from
some form of blood-disease which a
persistent use of Ayers Sarsaparilla
would be sure to cure. Then, don't

are simply wonderful. I began to

as they were in their best days, and I
feel that will be soon.''
'What effect have the pills had up
on your stomach?" Mr.. Bigg was
asked GAS regards that" said he,
''you can readily believe that a stom-
ach which has been seriously out of
order for thirty-siX years is in bad
shape. Nothing used to stay on my
stomach, and [ was subject to violent
fits of hiccoughing. Then l would
have to take an opiate to get to sleep.
But now I find that food stays on my
stomach, though [ do not suppose
that organ will ever be in first-class
shape again. Still [ am satisfied to
think that it is improved to such a
degree, and that [ can eat with feel
ing of ease"
For six years until month ago, Oc-

OF the list of the many so-called in
durable disorders none has proved to
be more Of an enigma to the most
learned and accomplished physicians
than locomOtor ataXia, or as it is
more commonly known, creeping pa
ralysis. This dread disease has baff1ed
their skill, and they have been forced
to admit that they cannot successful
ly cope with it, All they have been
able to do is to mitigate the accom-
panying pain and suffering; beyond
this the science of medicine has been
of little or no avail to the many I'M
fOrtunates who have contracted the
dreadful malady, which many people,
especially those who are thus afflicted,
believe is a forerunner of the grim
messenger of death.
Thomas p. Bigg, who lives at No.
1913 ST. Clair Street, corner of Law
renee St., Cleveland, o., has been suf-
fering from locomotor ataxia for
nearly five years, and nothing but his
wonderful vitality has prevented his
dissolution long before this.
The malady is directly attributable
to his exposure during army life. He
enlisted in the Third Regiment Ohio
Cavalry in Toledo, and served nine
teen months in the volunteer service,

eighteen months in the regular army,

1t is an established fact, that all

make such thrifty trees, and are more
subject to disease than the Florida

Florida Fog.

ida in which the writer very justly
praises DeLand but very grossly mis-
represents other parts of the state.
The writer thereof evidently knows
too much. AS it was said of writer
on '*Pineapple Culture" recently, che
knows great deal that is not rue"
He thinks that DeLand is located in
just the right place, for he says, eve
are just far enough removed from
both the ocean and gulf not to be Wis
tied by fogs so characteristic of To-
calities near the coast" In another
place he speaks of the "too constant
fogs" of the coast.
[ have nothing to say against De
Land, and the weather bureau records
happily furnish the material for the
vindication of this coast region. Pre-
vious to 1891 the fog record was very
unsatisfactory. Days of fog were re-
corded the same as cloudy days; sew
en-tenths of the day or more was nee
essary to constitute a foggy day. AS
result, the records show very little
fog in the United States. Beginning
with 1891 a day with fog was one in
which fog prevailed for at least an
hour and dense enough to obscure
objects 1000 feet distant.
Such a record for 1891 I have before
me. The language quoted above
would indicate that it's author imagin-
ed that fog was the child of the sea-
that remoteness from the sea gives
immunity from fog. But these rec
ords tell another story. Philadelphia
is credited with 81 days with fog and
Pittsburg with So. Norfolk, Va, with
20, and Lynchburg with 35 Hatteras,
n. c., with seven, Charlotte 81, and
Chattanooga, Tenn, with 40, Titus
vile, Fla. with two, and Jacksonville,
which is just about the same distance
from the coast as DeLand A"s 10.
On the Pacific coast we find San
Diego with % and Los Angeles with
g. This also shows that Southern
California is not good place fer
people who are afraid of fog.
On the Atlantic coast there is a
gradual decrease of fog from East
port, Me-, with 80 days to Jupiter,
Fla, with O. Between these we have
Boston 25, Norfolk 20, Charleston 1G.
and Titusville two This gradual de-
crease is modified in some places by
local causes as examples, New Lon
don, Conn.,, has 90 days and New York
40. This is the greatest number Of
any station in the United States. The
Gulf coast shows the same thing in
favor of Florida; Galveston II, Mobile
16, Pensacola IS, Tampa four and Key
West three.
We learn further that no part of
the United States except the arid re-
gions of the west and northwest, is
as exempt from fog as the east coast
of South Florida.
When we remember that fog is WIS.,
IDLE atmospheric moisture, it will be
seen that it is but a part of the gen
eral question of humidity, the discus
sion of which must be reserved to
future time. Jas. FL. White.

To Induce Early Maturity.

The Southern Cultivator observes
that experiments on ridging the soil
as means of forcing vegetables to an
early maturity appear to demonstrate
the utility and efficiency of the plan.
An experimenter began with peas.
The soil was thrown into ridges three
feet apart with an ordinary pillow dur
ing the previous autumn. AS soon as
the tops of the ridges were dry
enough to work a revolving harrow
was run over twice and a furrow four
or five inches deep made upon each
ridge with cultivator. Peas were
then sown by hand, and covered by
the cultivator, two ridges being work
ed down to level and planted in the
same manner hte same day. The peas
planted on ridges were ready for pick
ing June 20, while those planted on
the level were not ready till June %,
This was in a cold season. The next
year the season was warm, and the
was only three days. Experiments
with sweet corn, cabbages and toma
toes were also made with ridge Gull
ture, and the contrast in earliness was
very marked, especially with the
sweet corn.
A potato-grower says if you throw
the furrow from the north side of the
row you make a shade in which if
you drop your seed, it lies for long
time, before warm enough to germi-
nate. This plan is to prepare the
ground thoroughly, pillow deep, ma
nure we'll; lay off east and west, drop
your seed and cover on the south
side of the row, covering about two
inches deep. This forms a bank of
earth just the right shape to catch the
suns rays and produce termination.

Women are often accused of becom-
Ing careless about their dress and
style OF halr-dresslng after marriage,
and the reason for this is specialized
upon. Here is the other side OF the
question:
II found out the other day why mar
ried men. or almost all married men,
are so slovenly regarding their Dress
q a married mar recently, mo mat
ter how much OF a dandy the man may
have been before marriage, as a rule
he begins to show unmlstakahIe signs,
shortly afterward, that he cares MOTH
ing about his personal appearance. 1t
has been popularity supposed that the
reason for this is because a man, once
he is married, thinks that his mission
In life as a good dresser Is ended. and
that he "a wear solled linen and old
clothes to his hearts content, or be-
cause the wife does not think to have
clean collars and cuffs laid on hand
for him. This idea is all wrong, for all
women like to have their husbands look
well, and at least clean. for they well
know II is a reflection upon themselves
II the husband looks otherwise, and
they are too selfish to want any such
notion to gain credence. The real rea-
son. however, is Jealousy. A friend Of
mine, when I asked him why he always
wore the same necktle, told me that IL
he changed hts tie or clothes or shirt,
and often II he shaved himself. his wife
thought It was because ne wanted to
look nice for some other woman's BEN
eft, untll, out OF sheer desperation, he
preferred to go about looking almost

1t may be against their will. to admit
that we do move toward prosperity. The
Chicago Inter-ocean calls attention to
the fact that the newspapers are dotted
with paragraphs that indicate that that
movement is really in existence.
In the dispatches that appeared in the
daily papers OF Tuesday our contempor-
airy notes that the labor commissioner Of
the state of Michigan gave 1t out that Of
295 villages that made answer to his In
qulries, 253 reported that I'VE have no
idlers here" Two hundred and tweice
reported the establishment of new In
dustrles. In the Iron district OF the same
state the Chaplin Mining Company. the
Pewabic Company, the Antoine Ore
Company, the Aragon Iron Company.
and the Pennsylvania Iron Mining Com
pany gave notice OF a 10 per cent Increase
of WAGES, the same to take effect Deem

operators gave notice of an Increase of 20
per cent in rate OF pay on and after the
LIST OF next month. From Indiana came
news that thirty-three straw-board fac
tories are about TO resume operations,
IND TO run day and night.
These and many other similar reports,
together with the fact that our foreign
trade is greatly increasing, the balance
being enormously in our favor, show
how much OF a Chinese wall the Dinglcy

reports Of conditions under the WILSON,

Tekamah, Nebraska, dispatch in st.
Louis Globe Democrat: Miss Alice
Thomson and Prof. c. s. Laughlln
were married last evening. The affair
grew out OF the recent elections. Prof.
Laughlin has been principal Of the local
high school for some time, and Miss
Thomson has been his assistant. He
is n Republican, and his pretty helper
protested the Populist faith. This fall
Prof. LauGhhn became a candidate for
superintendent OF public instruction in
Burt county. The Populists induced
Miss Thomson TO accept their nominal
ton. The campaign became quite ami
mated. Miss Thomson made speeches
In opposition to Ltughhn, and the
fight was spirited. on the eve Of cleo
ton, when II was too late for the Pop
ulists to select a new candidate, Miss
Thomason withdrew from the race. AS
Mr.. Laughlln had practically no oppo-
sition, he was elected. The next day
cards announcing their approaching
marriage were sem out. Both now adj
init that they intended to be married
all the time, but thought all vas fair
in politics, and took this method OF be-
ing sure Of the position they coveted.
