There are times when 8 man wishes he wasn't. There are placed in which he would rather be than the one he oc- cupies. A certain bishop in New York city was passing down the street one when he saw 8 small boy evidently trying to ring the door bell but could not reach it. Prompted by kindness, the reverend gentleman offered his ser- vices which were accepted. The bishop rang the bell when the boy broke in, saying, "Now. mister, me and you bet ter run like h-l." And the small boy succeeded in getting around the corner but step in advance of the bishop with the bishop gaining ground at eye- ry stride.

An interesting "record" was estab- lished in Scotland the other day. show. ing the shortest time in which wool could be taken from the back of the sheep and made into suit of clothes to be hours and 55 minutes. The wool was secured, dyed, carded and spun in ? hours and 20 minutes, the warping, weaving. milling and finishing occupied hours and 15 minutes, and the cutting and making up consumed ? hours and 20 minutes. The suit was worn on the afternoon of the day on which the sheep was sheared, and doubtless the wearer experienced a sence of pride in his record-breaking clothes.

BITTER TASTE.

 wholesome Food.

Daniel Webster in the famous White trial in Salem, Mass, years ago declar- ed that "murder will out" This maxim has been found applicable to many other things bssl5os murder. House. wives know 1t to be rue when there is alum in baking powder. A bitterness in the bread at once betrays the alum's presence. It can't conceal it's true na. ture. The alum bitterness twill out. ;" and because 1t will, physicians, who understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are at 8 loss to know why people continue to buy baking powders containing 1t. All baking powders sold for twen sy-fve cents a pound and less contain alum. There IS surely no economy in using tn csc cheap powders. For pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr.Price's was shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes so much farther and gives so much better result there is no doubt Of it's being more economical in the long run.

Deafness cannot be cured by local applica-
tons, as they cannot reach the diseased por.
tions of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in famed
condition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the Inflammation car
De taken out and this tube restored to it's nor
mai condltlon' hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is ing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces
We will give one hundred dollars for anv
case of deafness (caused by catar-h) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free. FL. Cheney & Co., Toledo.

I've sometimes thought that he who gives
From motives pure some brilliant gem,
Will find in his immortal lot,
Twill sparkle in his diadem.
That treasures hidden in the soul
Are surely lost, if buried there;
That all the good we can control
We should with others freely share.
That we should keep the wrong from view: 4
And but display the good alone.
Strive daily for the pure and true;
Make others hopes and joys our own.
That he who thinks the grandest thought,
Like him who does the noblest deed,
Should give to those of humb bier lot
The solace which their spirit need.
That lives so brief, if idly passed
Are like desert, waste and drear,
Or like ship with anchor cast
Far from port of mortal cheer.

A school boy may know a word well
enough, but he isn't always sure
about its meaning. The Schoolboa

funny definitions given by boys and
girls. Here are some of them:
Back biter-a flea.
Fan-a thing to brush the warm off
with.
Fins-A fish's wings.
Ice-water that stayed out in the
cold and went to sleep.
Nest egg-the egg the old he n
measures by to make new ones.
Pig-hog's little boy.
Snoring off sleep.
Snowman all popped out white.
Stars-the moons eyes.
Wakefulness-eyes all the time
come out unbuttoned.

QUEEN RANAvALONA.

try, but she is a proud, willful and spir-
tied woman, and it was impossible for
her to submit tamely to the humilia-
tions which the French resident general
heaped upon her daily. So she gave her
consent to the revival of plots against
the conquerors and not even the execu-
ton OF her uncle for treason could ex-
tinguish her hope of successful revolt
She is now too far away from the
Hovas to lnflame their fiery patriotism,
for the French have sent her to the is
land OF Reunion, little spot of volcanic
origin out in the Indian ocean, over 400
miles east of Madagascar. There this
unfortunate and romantic young queen
will be kept q prisoner of state and may
never again see the shores of her native
island, where for ID years she was
ruler.

What is the use of eating when food does
you no good-in fact, when it does you more
harm than good, for such is the case if il is
not dlgested? If you have 1oathing for food
there is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. Y GU must restore the diges-
tive organs to their natural strength and
cause tho food to be digested, when an appe-
tite will come, and with it relish for food
The tired, languid feeling will give place to
vigor and energy; then you will pnt flesh on
your bones and become strong. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial as made by the Mount Leb-
anon Shakers contains food already digested
and is digester of foods as we'll. It's action
is prompt and its effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it has all
the virtues OF castor oil and is palatable.

LETTER FROM MINNESOTA

Mr.. EDITOR: Perhaps some of
your readers would like to know what
kind of weathe we had in Minnesota
during March. am told that there
was more snow here this year than
ever before. The day I arrived here
mercury registered 80 degrees below,
and that night expressed the wish
that might witness first class biz
gard, and Sunday Mar. 18th, I thought
they had gotten one up for my es-
pecial benefit; it showed all day and
the wind blew hard, but along toward
night it began to moderate and in the
night there was thunder shower. I
had been used to all kinds of wealth
er in Vermont and thought could
weather it through here, but the sud-
den changes proved too much for me
and was laid up in the house for
time. Although it has been thawing
here for a few days there is plenty of
snow left yet, and it seems that spring
will be rather late.
The land in this section is worth
from $40 to $50 per acre, and the far
mers are increasing it's value every
year. They can raise plenty of grain
for their COWS and consequently they
are getting good lot of milk; the
cream goes to the creameries, where
the butter is made and then sent to
New York markets. where they get
rather of a minority in this town. the
people being of all nationalities, and
some might object to the society one
meets here, still the West seems like
a pretty good place in which to live.
The country in this section is very
level; the greatest nuisance being the
scrub OAK but when these are cleaned
out the fields are very fine. In going
from Moscow to Fairbault l saw fields
completely covered with water,
caused by the snow melting making
high water. Fairbault is on higher
ground and has high bluffs extending
half way around the city. The Fair
bault schools are very fine; there are
and blind; schools for young men and |
another for the young ladies'. The |
city has population of about 5000, /
and has fourteen churches. There |
is flour mill here which grinds out !
GOO barrels of -four daily. The streets
are laid out in good shape and it is
easy to get around here. The city is
about 20 miles from ST. Paul. There
ire many Eastern men here, but can
1ot see they are any better off here
han they would have been had they
ived in the East and practiced equal
economy. Some of the farm build
ngs are qnite good, but many of
hem are very poor, hardly up to the
arm buildings of Orleans county.

Professor Virchow, the veteran Der
lin authority on all infectious diseas-
es, has put himself on record as a
critic of such olunders as the New
York Post office authorities were
guilty of when they received mail
matter from Bombay without fumi-
cation.
I'm keeping out infectious diseas-
es," he says, 81 warn all governments
to rely on nothing so much as on DO
lice precautions. Fortunately, Ger
mans and Americans have learned a
lesson in that respect during the last
ten years. The manner in which
cholera was held at bay in New York
harbor four years ago was a spectacle
for medical gods to be proud Of. We

plague will visit Europe or America.
or both. The only thing that can be
done now to guard against it is to
watch the shipping lists. Whenever
vessel that may come from an in
fected port nears our ports, let the
police, reinforced by medical advis-
ers, swoop down upon it and investi-
gate it thoroughly.
And if a case of sickness occurs.
let 1T be isolated, and isolated in the
strictest manner.
There are, am sorry to say, in all
countries stupid and sentimental peo-
pie and negligent officers of the law.
and these fear more in connection
with infectious disease than the dis
ease itself. Science knows low to
grapple with disease, but few light
headed or mischievous persons have
it in their power to undo by a single
act the beneficial labors of science

4 WORD At THE GATE.

From far off Florida Dr. Sabel sends
us the following beautiful gem from
one of Wendall Philippe Speeches:
| A mother on the green hills of Yer
mont was holding by the right hand a
son, sixteen years old, who was mad
with the love of the sea. And as they
both stood by the garden gate she
| said:
Edward, they tell me-for I never
saw the ocean-that the great temp
alton Of a ssaman's life is drink.
Promise me before you quit your
mothers hand that you will never
drink.
And, said he, for he told the story, I
gave the promise and I went the globe
over, to Calcutta and the Mediter-
raneun, San Francisco and the Cape
of Good Hope, the North Pole and the
South; | saw them all in forty years
and | never saw glass filed with
sparkling liquor that my mothers
form by the gate did not rise up be-
fore me and to this day Pm innocent
of the taste of liquor.
Was not that sweet evidence of the
power of a single word? Yet that is
not half. For, said he, yesterday
there came into my counting room
man of forty years.
Do you know me?
No.
Well, said he, I was once brought
drunk into your presence on ship
board; you were passenger; they
kicked me aside; you took me to
your berth and kept me there until
had slept off the in5oxication; you
then asked me if I had a mother. I
said had never known a word from
her lips. You told me of yours and
the garden gate and today am mas
ter of one of the finest ships in New
York and I came to ask you to come
and see me-
How far the little candle throws it's
beams. That mothers words on the
green hills of Vermont! God be
thanked for the mighty power of a
single word!
