The approach from the south to La
Grange, Ala, is marked by the fine
view into the valley of the Tennessee
river, 300 or 400 feet below, which IL
presents, and by the masses of sand
stone lying around the village, where it
has been precipitated from the cliffs
above by the wearing away Of the lime
stone under them But the most inter
esting and remarkable feature of the
locality. says Henry McCaiiey in his
geological report of the valley region,
and the one for which La Grange will
always be distinguished, is the profu-
sion of the remains of fossil plants.
Nowhere can one gain better ideas of
the magnificence of the fora Of the coal
period than at this place. Trunks of
lepidodendron two or three feet in di-
ameter lie buried and protruding from
the debris OF the sandstone. These
trunks bave in general preserved their
form and are not at all compressed.
whereby they show that they stood
erect in the beds that inclosed them.
Although stripped of their bark. the
scars are plainly impressed on their
surface.-Popular Science Monthly.

DARED A NEGRO ROBBER TO
SHOOT AND THEN TELEGRAPH
ED FOR HELP.
West Chester, Sept. Mrs. Chalk
ley Speakman, in charge Of the station
at Oakbourne, on the West Chester
and Philadelphia railroad, had a terri
flying experience with strange negro
at noon yesterday He presented him
self at the ticket window and asked Mrs.
Speakman to change for him a 81 bill.
When she had taken out the change
he grabbed both it and the bill. Mrs
Speakman also caught hold Of the bill
and upon her refusing to let go her
hold, ne pulled a revolver and pressed
it in her face, threatening to blow out
her brains if she did not release her
grip on the bill. Pluckily she held
fast and dared the desperate to shoot,
whereupon, finding that she would not
obey his demands, he tore the bill and
made his escape with il and the change
She at once telegraphed to the West
Chester depot, and a special engine,
with officers on board, was sent down
Officers Jefferis and Thompson sue

uncertain elements. No track, no course
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain No organ can be depended on
TO do its normal work The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bill
ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regular nourishing OF purifying process is
going on. There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering
in all dyspeptic, bilious debilitated CON
ditions, what is needed is to change the alb
normal, erratic operations of the system
into a natural regular, straightforward pro
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It directly regulates the vitalizing func-
tions. It sets the stomach and liver into
natural, healthy operation and gives the
blood-making glands power to manufacture
an abundance of pure rich blood.
It creates appetite; builds UP muscular
strength and banishes nervousness and
neuralgia As it can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach, its nourishing properties
are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil
in severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
The druggist who recommends something
else as "iust as good " is thinking more of
his extra profit on the just as good kind
than of your welfare.

The HRowN.rAIL MOTH.
A Poisonous Pest of Mnssachusett
Towns.


A Poisonous Pest of Mnssachusetts
Towns.
Many residents Of Somerville have
been afflicted recently with a strange
disease, which baffled the physicians,
and for which no one could offer an ex-
PLANTATION, says the Boston Transcript.
They seemed TO have been victims of
ivy poisoning, the hands and arms red
dening and swelling, but they had not
touched any ivy. 1t is now definitely
known that the trouble all came from
the presence of that new pest, the
brown-tail moth.
This discovery was made by the en-
ployes of the gypsy moth committee.
who, to their sorrow, have found that to
touch a brown tail moth is equiva-
lent to taking dose of poison. When
the employees of the committee began
their annual work of turning burlaps
to see how many pupa had Sc
creted themselves hereunder, fhey
found in the places contiguous
TO Somerville a number Of pupa
of the brown-tailcd moth. Grown
careless by the innocent nature Of the
ocneria dispar, they plucked them Off
and destroyed them. Then the trouble
began, and loud are the complaints Of
the men with poisoned hands and arms.
The moths are now handled gingerly.
The center of the gypsy moth pcsti-
lence has moved from the Malden-Med-
ford district, where it originally devel-
oped, to the Saugus woods. tits esti-
mated that the committee men are
slaughtering 100000 daily.

AT no time could such substantial
rise in the price of wheat have proved
a greater boon to the farmers Of Del

The jump has not only come after an
exhaustive period of depression, but at
a time when nearly every farm down
the state gave richer yields Of wheat
than was ever known.

farm near Midd.etOwn is one of the
prd.tiest in the Eastern states. had 1l2
acres in wheat and garnered therefrCm
8. 600 bushels II was all good, too, and
the kind that brought S1.06, cash.
Although such yields were never
known before, good farms brought
forth between thirty and forty bushels

Clement A. Davidson's farm. below
Mt. Pleasant, gave over thirty-ive
bushels to the acre. while the wheat Of
Samuel Warren, adjoining him, meas

Novel ideas are being put into prac-

bewildered reader may be inclined to

which undertakes to post letters from

tuition, devised for the benefit Of per-
sons who, while remaining quietly at
home in a sort Of incognito condition.
can make believe that they are on

arguing that after all this pleases some
people who do not care for the trouble
and fatigue OF travelling. but are eager
to enjoy the prestige with which n
grand tour will, as they fancy. invest
them in the eyes of their friends. After
all, this may be mere report. for the
Office is described as being a very dis
Greet institution, having no outward

Among the applicants for foreign
missions in Washington recently was
a New England man attired so fault
lessly that he might have served for
q fashion plate. He reminded the vet
eran Tom Donaldson of a story told of
an Ohio dandy whom President Lin
coin appointed as consul to a South
American country. A wag met the
new appointee on his way to the white
house TO thank the president He was
dressed in the most eXtravagant style.
The wag Mortified him by telling him
that the country TO which he was as
signed was noted chiefly for the bugs
that abounded there and made life un-
bearable. They'll bore a hole clean
through you before week has
passed. was the comforting assur-
rance of the wag as they parted at the
white house steps. The new consul
approached Lincoln with disappoint-
ment clearly written all over his face.
Instead of joyously thanking the pres
ident, he told him the wag's story Of
the bugs. 4 am informed, Mr.. Presi-
dent, he said, that the place is full Of

Roasted Cotton Seed.

Recent publication in the sScimitdr and in the Greenville, Miss, papers, concerning the successful use of cotton seed as tfe sole food of work stock, have attracted much atten- tion and comment. They have also stimulated the inventive genius of some persons to attempt means by which the value of this proyender may be increased. The Helena World mentions citizen of Phillips county, Ark, as the inventor of device for roasting the cotton seed, by which process as he claims, ii is made more wholesome and appetiZ- ing than it is in the natural state.
 The machine consists Of metal cylinder ten or twelve feet in length by two feet in diameter, fitted with an endless screw device for carrying the seed through. Heat IS conveyed into this cylider at one end and the roasted seed come out at the op. posite end. The inventor says a half cord of wood will roast two or three tons of seed in an inereditabIe short time, and that an ordinary field hand can do the work safely and properly. He states that horses and cattle relish the roasted seed much more than the raw, and he be- lieves hogs will fatten on It. To satisfy himself on this point he will roast two or three tons of seed and feed it to his own porkers.
 The World says the results of the ingenious Phillips coun tain's expert ments are awaited with great inter- est by the farmers of the yieinity, and well they may be.
 There seems to be practically no limit to the uses of the cotton plant. Memphis Scineitaf.
