Mrs. Mary j. Brown Dead.


MARTINsBURG, Mo-, Aug. 24.-Mrs.
Brown is dead, was the sad news in cir
culation in town on the 18th; after a
long and painful illness of many
months which she had borne with true
Christian patience. Mary ]. Brown
was born in Lincoln county on the 9Th
day of October, 1s4S, and was married
to Gabriel Brown June z, 1856, and
has been a resident of Martinsburg for
nine years. During her stay among
US abe has always been faithful In the
discharge of her duties as q Christian,
being devoted member of the M, E.
Church for 3s years. Thus beautiful
Christian, loving wife and indulgent
mother has passed away and left a
kind and loving husband, son and two
daughters to mourn In a lonely home.
Gould the skill of physicians or un-
wearied care of loving friends availed
she would not have died. For months
she was watched over by as devoted
husband and as good physician as
the world affords, but death alone
could relieve her pain. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Kemp
sey at the Methodist church. He de-
livered a very tender and appropriate
service from the 18th chapter of Cor,
after which all that was mortal was
laid to rest In the Martinsburg ceme-
terry.
Calmly she sleeps,
So peaceful and still.
Calm are the waters
That rest meath the hill.
Nothing seems bright,
Though flowers are in bloom.
Ali whispers sadly
or death and the tomb.
FRIEND.

When a little one is expected into
the family how lovingly the parents
plan together for its future welfare.
They sometimes even forecast its ed
ucation and career. Does this seem
too early to anticipate while the child
is yet unborn? It isn't. The child's
destiny has already been partly map
ped out by nature according to the
disposition and habits of the parents.
The best plan mother can make for
the future happiness of her unborn
child is to maintain her own cheer
fuiness and health while her child's
undeveloped being is still a part Of
hers. Her health at this critical period
is of tremendous consequence to the
little one's whole future existence.
Every prospective mother win find
direct nourishment, comfort and sus-
tanning strength, In DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It win maintain
her vitality both bodily and mental;
shorten the period OF confinement
and make labor easy and almost pain
less. 1t inparts strength and elastic
ity to the organs concernedlin parturi-
sion, invests the mother with recuper-
ative energy against any after period
OF weakness and depression, and aids
In the secretion of healthy nourish-
ment for the child. 1t is the unfailing
cure of all .sfemale weakness. .

IT is to be noted that the price OF
corn is moving up, rise of more than
2 cents being made last week. The
crop of the United States this year is
not less than 2,O00,O00,00 bushels.
The increase in value, therefore, last
week of this grain alone was $4,000,
900. But this Is not all. From the
crops of 1895 and 1896, as every farm
or knows, there is still in sight about
1000, ,OO0, 900 bushels, which has grown
in value $4,000, ,O0O, 900 during the last
week. This makes the total increase
in corn of $1,000, 900, add to which the
81 ,00O, ,00O, 900 gained by wheat in the
same time, and the fact is plain that
with realization at the present market
taken advantage of, the American
farmer is assured of the most pros

The senate tariff bill as a whole, 3"
says exCongressman John De Witt
Warner, "is notice to eastern manu-.
facturers Of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort Of proyidential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on the rest Of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet, they are in
vited by a certain oonvocation of politio
worms to supper not where they cat,
but where they are eaten. The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit Of 9th
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule. -
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that sohed-
ule?"
II think not, The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to tho Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept so except by tho
votes controlled by the Cattle trust Of
the west, We're the New England soma
tors willing to risk offending tho Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with Sugar trust influences than
Is any other part Of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail tho
fate Of their boot and shoe manufac-
turers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the Sugar trust
interests to help them. "

CARING FOR TOURISTS.
wias-Awako Japanese Organization ,

wide- Awake Japanese Organization TO
l. ok After Foreigners
The large number Of tourists who
IN recent years have visited Japan have
added considerably to the revenue OF
the country. 1t has been calculated
that every visitor spent IN his travels
not less than $500, and the aggregate
result of the arrivals from foreign
parts meant 100000 and $S,OOO,0OO
to Japanese bread-earners, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Most of this fell
into the hands of curio dealers, who
palmed off inferior goods on ignorant
westerners, and of the guides. who
acted as their agents. To remedy this
abuse society was formed in 1893,
on the Initiative OF a number Of
Japanese noblemen and gentlemen, Us
sisted by several influential foreign
residents. It's objects were to extend
welcome to foreign tourists and to
render them every assistance during
their stay in Japan. 1t aims at bring
ing within the tourists reach means Of

the country and the characteristics Of
the people; visiting public buildings
and places famous for scenic beauties
seeing objects of art, both ancient and
modern; entering into social and COM
mercial relations with the people; in
short, affording them all facility and
convenience toward the accomplish
ment of their aims, thus indirectly
promoting, in however small degree,
the cause of international intercourse
and trade. Arrangements are made
for the provision of trustworthy guides,
and facilities are given for travel and
sightseeing. Entrance is obtained to
all the government establishments and
to the places of interest in different
parts of the country. Introductions
are provided to manufacturers and
merchants, so that although the main
object of the society is of social ma
ture, 1t may be of great service to
those who go to investigate commercial
and industrial conditions. According
to the rank or personal record Of a
tourist, the society will introduce him
at his request to any japanese noble
man or gentleman, if the circumstances
seem to warrant such an introduction.
In the case of a distinguished tourist
the society might make arrangements
at It's own cost to entertain him, so
that it's members and friends may
make his acquaintance.

Now that attention to desirable bacon
qualities of hogs is growing there
seems IN be a disposition to grow Sor
bacon purposes an animal very diner
ent in type from the breeds to which
"a streak of fat and a streak of lean"
are almost unknown, says Texas Stock
and Farm Journal. OF late, agriculture
al papers have discussed the Medium
Yorkshire and the Tamworth, and the
latter is growing in favor as bacon
hog among English breeders and seems
destined to take very important place.
They are little known in this country
and probably there is not one in Texas
Here they are known only by descrip-
ton, and to judge from that they seem
to be reversion to the old-fashioned
breed of SANDY shotes" with long
shouts, such as are yet known in the
mountain regions of Kentucky and
West Virginia and on the poor lands Of
the South. you'd 1t not be strange il
the razor-back boar should become the
valuable sire for the production Of ami
mails that will furnish the tables Of the
rich with their choicest and most cost
ly meats? Yet it is certain that no.
other bacon has such excellent flavor as
that which is found in those parts of
the country where the Poland-China.
and the Berkshire and other so-called
improved" breeds of swine are I'M
known. The razor-back has his merits.
A recent writer has called attention TO
the fact that the Anglo-Saxon and Ger
man, pork eating races, are highest and
strongest in the ranks of civilization.
1t is not intended here to assert that
pork has caused their excellence, but
the best pork they have was probably
the razor-back of the days when their
pre-eminence was established, and that
they got his meat by hunting him With
dogs and the weapons of the chase.

The X RAY and the Hen.

The Poultry Monthly says: Verify.
"the world do move" and in no direc-
ton is this fact more pronounced than
in the application of scientific discov-
cry to the practical affairs of everyday
life. An enlightened poultry culture
is also feeling a quickening of its
pulses along new and advanced lines,
and the result is certainly promising
for a great future. Every new idea
helps the race. No sooner is the X or
Roentgen ray a practical demonstra-
ton, than 1t at once finds use in a
thousand different directions. 1t has
been applied to the chicken business.
Mr. Rudolph Spreckels, the millionaire
Hawaiian planter OF San Francisco,
owns bonanza poultry ranch in Som
ona county, on which are running
some 10000 fowls. Now out Of that
number there are necessarily a good
many sterile or barren females-the
drones Of the poultry yards. If the
Roentgen rays will locate a dime in a
small boys stomach, why will it not
SHOW up" a non-laying hen? No
sooner thought than acted on. A test
case was made with twelve chickens,
eight of which were found with eggs
and four barren. A subsequent post
norton examination confirmed the de-
duction of the X rays. What follow
ed? Bless your dear heart, an X ray
plant was added to the establishment
and all females put through the test.
Result? There was a glut in the local
poultry market, and corresponding
reduction in Mr.. Spreckels' feed bill. Is
this not practical application of sci
ence 10 ones bank account?
