Last night man who had worked
hard in the country for a few dollars
came to town to "blow it in.' He sue

He claims he still had 500 gold piece
and some other money when he went
into a river front saloon and went TO
sleep in chair, but that he didn't have
the $50 piece when he awoke.
The rural pleasure seeker then sought
the aid of the police in his efforts TO
recover his vanished coin, but even

Advantages of
Department Stores.
By I. C. Hamilton.
Il think it beyond question that
the great mass of people is very
substantially benefited by the de-
partment stores. IF they weren't.
they wouldn't patronize them. If
they didn't patronize them there
would be no department stores. If.
then, we concede that these stores
are asource of benefit to the great
public, are we to do away with
them because they are objection
able to smaller competitors? Are
we to turn our back upon the
great principle Of the greatest
good to the greatest numberY Is
A to be suppressed because he
stands in the way of B and C,
when it is clear that all the rest
of the alphabet wants him and
needs him?
TN the first place, the DEPART
cessary adjunct to city life, and
the people would not listen to it's
abolition or any serious curtai1-
ment of it's facilities. In the sec
ond place, no law can stand in this
country which prevents the Iegiti-
mate transaction OF legitimate
business. IF it could. we would
be in a sorry predicament.
"Here are the four principal
reasons why the department stores
are favored with SO large trade:
'I. Lower prices.
"2. Superior accommodations.
SO. Better assortments.
81. The convenience of purchas-
ing different kinds of articles in
one store, instead of going from
store to store"

SaItiuo the Hav.

Hay should be hauled in when free
from dew; when hay rattles, 1t Is fit to
put into the barn. Glover and timothy
hay should be cured In the cock; If
left in the swath or windrow too long
most all the juices are dried up, and
the hay Is little better than straw.
When the hay is cured so that it feels
light upon the fork and rattles In the
handling, get it under cover as quick
ly as possible. By adding one peck of
salt to the ton, sprinkling 1t evenly over
every layer Of hay as it is put into the
NOW, the hay will cure out very nicely,
and when it is fed out, it will come
out bright, green and fragrant. The
salt not only helps to cure the hay, but
it adds weight to it, so that whether
the hay is sold or fed out on the farm,
there is economy in salting it.
Very weedy hay is much improved
by sailing it. Pings, rag-weed and
weeds of like nature will make very
good winter feed for mules, sheep and
young stock, by cutting them before
the stalk gets woody, curing quickly,
and stacking at once, spreading one
half bushel of coarse salt to the ton of
hay.-The American.

The expected has happened and Kai-
ser William has written a play. The
German Emperor was long overdue for

the field showed that when he finally

line. There was nothing left He had
performed in music, made faces and
ether unpleasant pictures, gone to

and done about everything else from
failing to go in when it rained to bluff

it was time for him to rise up and shine
again, and naturally he wrote a play
A description of the piece has been pub

the dramatic attack is acute. The play
will be praised by the critics and posi-

as far as the public is concerned. But
William ought to sustain this latest
freak longer than has been his custom
with the others. He ought to inject a
part for himself and go into the acting
line for a season. He needs the train

various star parts in the European

One of the boasts made upon the ac-
cession Of the present cZar was that
there would be greater religious free
dom for the subjects of Russia. Ac-
cOrding to information lately received,
however, it would appear that on the
contrary, the established church is GO
ing to greater lengths than ever in its
prosecution of dissenters. With the
aid Of the government extreme meas
ureS are being resorted to to punish
those who refuse to conform to the
regulations of the State church. These
are being carried on by the chief pro-
curator of the holy synod, who has al
ready made himself notorious by his
work against the dissenters. The lat
ter are said to number from ten to
twelve million, embracing many sects
and varieties of belief. The curious
thing about the prosecutions is that
they are being carried out against some
persons who, lowing to the absence Of
a formulated creed, try to strengthen
the basis on which their faith is built
by conforming themselves to the moral
and practical demands of Christian
ity." That is certainly strange ground
for prosecution, but the procurator
finds it sufficient for the harassing of
these people. 1t will only sow deeper
the seeds of the whirlwind which Rus.
sia is to reap.

Err AND HOUSEWIFE.
Reasons for Objecting to Dehorning
Cattle-Care of the Henhouse in Sum-
mer-Sa1ting the Hay-Use of Ma
chinery in Farm Work.
Against DehOrning.


G. A. NJ, In Breeders Gazette. gives.
among seven very good reasons for OBJ
lection to dehorning, the following
points: That dehorned cattle are
more troublesome to keep, and wilder,
and will gain from 100 to $50 pounds
less under otherwise similar conditions
than those with horns left on; all of
which of the above points he can sub
stantiate by actual experiment" The
blood starts from the center (the heart),
branches out, similar to a tree, into
little branches, surchargeS every part
of the body with nutriment, and carries
the worn-out matter back, to be ex-
PEELED from the system through the
lungs, pores, kidneys, liver and alimen-
tary tract, the circulation merging so
gradually through the capillaries as to
be imperceptible where the arteries end
and the veins begin. By mutilating the
circulating medium, the normal flow
of blood is interfered with, hampering
the process of waste and repair. The
forcible dehorning stops the ever COM
ing current of the blood to that part
of the beast which has been severed,
and keeps humping, humping, ever
after, during the entire span Of life.
We may ask anyone that has had the
misfortune of losing limb, be it only
toe or little finger, and they will tell
that they are feeling the limb that has
been taken off 80, these many years.
that that feeling has entailed untold
suffering, and for which there is but
one end, and that is dissolution. To
medical men it is we'll known that the
seat Of pain is In the brain, the main
nerve center; to them 1t is known that
pain lowers vitality, and lowered vital
ity lessons the power to resist the In
fiuence of the pathogenic bacilli. Be
cause the dehorned COW eats, drinks
and gives some milk, she appears to be
in good health, to the superficial OBJ
server; to him the imperceptible, grad
ual deterioration is not noticed.

A movement is on foot to secure par
dons for the notorious Younger broth
ers. who have been in prison for the
last twenty-one years for completely in
the robbery of the Northfield, Mimi,
bank and the murder of two men at
that time. The Younger and James
boys were the leaders of a desperate
gang of bank robbers and murderers
of that day at whose door many crimes
have been laid but to whom are at
tributed by admirers many Of those
qualities which distinguish better men.
Jesse James went to his bloody ac-
count many years ago. His brother
Frank is living life of comparative
decency among a community where the
James boys were regarded as deities.
The Youngers were captured and have
since been in prison. The warden, who
is said to favor their release, speaks of
their having given twenty-one years of
shonest manly and faithful service to
the State" and st. Paul newspaper
processes to discover that there is
'something fundamentally good and
noble in men who preferred capture
and probable death to deserting a
wounded brother" 1t is asserted that
during their Incarceration they have
been thoroughly reformed, and that no
good can be had by their further i'm
prisonment. If this is really the case
they might be liberated, but there is
no use in becoming mawkish about the
matter

A Pointed Reply.

What would you do If you are on
sentry duty and many people crowd
near you?"
Il should ask them to go away at
once, your Majesty"
That's all WE'LL" said the Kaiser,
''hut suppose one man stays behind and
makes himself a nuisance to you, what
would you say then?"
Il should say, Don't make yourself

The He's Hou.e in summer.

In hot weather lice breed very fast
and unless they are killed off the hens
and young chickens will be covered
with lice and lice-eggs, which will pre-
vent growth. A good method is to take
an old iron pot, put a few live Goals in
the bottom, and set the pot in the mid
die Of the hen-house, close the doors
and windows, and every large open
ing; then pour one pound of sulphur
over the Goals; smoke the house for
two hours; then ventilate 1t before al
lowing the hens to go in. 1t is best to
smoke it in the morning. Strong to-
bacco smoke will also kill the lice. AT
ter smoking, the house should be white
washed; add one gill of carbolic acid
to every two gallons Of wash. If the
wash is strained, it can be put on with
the spray-pump. The chicken coops
are often filled with lice. Turn them
upside down; give them good spray
ing with crude petroleum, and then
whitewash the coOps inside and out

Good Corn Crons.

think the corn crop one Of the most
profitable hoed crops on the farm, but
it needs good cultivation. Our method
of raising Is this: We plow our ground
in the fall, green sward, and in the
spring we cart on good coat of barn
yard manure. Then we spread. and
give it thorough narrowing with a
spring tooth harrow. Then we work it
with a marker three and one-haIf feet
one way and three feet the other, and
use about three hundred pounds super
phosphate to the acre in the hills. In
this way we have never failed to make
a good crop of corn, from 125 to $50
baskets to the acre. We follow the
corn the next year with oats, and in
this way we have not failed to get a
good crop Of grass.-Grange Visitor.

Machinery in Farm Work.

Farm work is now everywhere done
with much less manual labor than
used to be the fact before labor-saving
machinery was invented. One man
will now do the labor of four or five.
and will also generally do 1t better.
Even if it were not so, the difficulty
in securing sufficient help would make
the machinery necessary. 1t is not
certain either that the better care Civ
en- improved implements on small East
ern farms does not make their use paw
as we'll as it does ON the large farms
of the far West. Almost all Eastern
farmers house their farm implements
when they are not in use. Even the
grain is not put under shelter at the
West, but Is rushed from the field to
elevators and stored there. The lack
of buildings to shelter improved i'm
plements at the West makes their
working life much shorter than it ought
TO be.-Mirror and Farmer.

Salary of Senators.

There is common impression in this
country that the salaries of the United
States Senators are larger than those
of the Representatives AS matter
of fact the two classes are paid exact
ly the same-$5, 600 a year each, with
allowance for stationery and mileage.
There was formerly difference in the
salaries, the Senators being paid a per
diem for attendance, the amount being
somewhat greater than that of the
Representatives, but many years ago
this difference was abolished. Cabinet
Ministers receive $4,000 a year each.
and this fact is probably responsible
for the popular blunder, many persons
supposing that Senator is paid as
much 5 member of the Cabinet.

Benedict Arnold's Horned Horse.

A good story comes from Ridgeland,
that fine old town In Fairfield County,
which has many residences of wealthy
Newly Yorkers. The people are proud
of the revolutionary history of the
place, and one of the residents has a
local reputation for his knowledge in
that line. The other day some work
men dug up lot of bones, which were
promptly conveyed to the village his
torian and laid on his table" AS the
story goes, he adjusted his spectacles,
asked as to the precise location where
the relics were found, put on his think
ing cap and Immediately proceeded to
remember. After remembering for a
few minutes he distinctly recalled the
fact that General Benedict Arnold's
horse was shot under him while the
revolutionary war was being fought
at that identical spot and was buried
where it fell. The bones now occupy
a showcase in the local museum of his
tory in the rear of the village store. But
the horns, which were dug up at the
same time, were hurriedly buried
again.-Hartford Times.

The Duke of Tetuan, who recently

Donnell who in 1860, during the war

the town of Tetuan in Morocco and
got title for his bravery. The Duke
has a title apart from that which he
has inherited from his fighting father
in Spain. 1t is that of Lord Donegal
in Ireland. The name of the family
is an illustrious one in Irish history,
and when the present Dukes ancestors
left their native land to espouse the
cause of Spain they also left an estate

them during the time of Elizabeth.

Se1f-Supporting Farm.

A farm is self-supporting when
enough of the food products are raised
for home consumption, and when
enough fertilizing material is made and
saved to maintain its fertility A con-
dition, which, to US, does not appear
to be impossible, Of attainment. This
may be done, indirectly, by growing
largely for market those crops for
which the soil and locality are fitted
and exchanging them for others. At
present prices, we are able to exchange
one acre of potatoes for ninety-three
bushels of corn, which as we had an
abundance Of coarse fodder in the barn
and silo was Of more value to us than
the same amount Of land would have
been in corn. We believe such an ex-
change is perfectly legitimate, and is
often to the advantage of the farmer
