RUSSIAN WOMEN.
Not Long Ago They Were Treated az
Turkish women Are.

Turkish women Are.
1t is curious to think what short
time it is since the emperors of Russia
treated their womankind in the same
way they are still treated in Turkey
In those days the ear chose his wife
from among his subjects and she was
never considered his equal. The mat
ter was arranged in this way: On GER
tain day the mobiles brought their young
daughters to be looked at, and she who
took the empeyor's fancy was forthwith
chosen to be his wife.
The princesses were kept with the
same strictness as eastern princesses,
and marriage only changed their place
of residence, but gave them no more
freedom. They were allowed OCCASION
ally to be present when guests were re-
ceived, to whom they would hand cup
of wine and then retire to their apart
mcnts, there being suite of rooms at
the north side of the palace reserved
especially for them.
If they were i'll the room was dark
ened before the doctor was admitted,
and he was not even allowed to feel
their pulse, and when they drove out
the windows of their carriages had
drawn curtains.
The first czarina who emancipated
herself from this state of slavery, and
so instituted new and happier era for
Russian women, was the beautiful Ma
thalie Neryschki, the second wife of
Alexis Michaelovitch and the mother of
Peter the Great, and her triumph was
when she obtained her husbands con-
sent to drive with him in an open car
riage to the monastery of Troitzsky, a
proceeding which az the time occa-
stoned great scandal.
Naturally, when the Russian princes
began to intermarry with other Eu
ropean royal families they were obliged
to treat their wives differently, but il
was a long time before the court Of
Russia became as civilized as the rest o.
Europe.-Montreal Star.

There are two classes of farmers to-
day, tilling or. attempting to till the
fields of America. One is progressive;
he takes sufficient number of live
newspapers and farming journals to
keep posted as to what is going on in
the world. If India or China or any
other foreign country is threatened
with a wheat or corn famine he knows
it as soon as anyone else, and can form
his own Judgment without having to

spectators, as to whether 'twould be
better to sell at once, or hold for high
err prices.
If there's a promising new cereal or
seed potato discovered, he knows all
about it and procures trial package.
He believes in and practices intensive
farming; that is, his acres are not
many, but his cultivation is thorough

talk of his wonderful good luck
Luck forsooth! It's nothing more
nor less than good management. The

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The railways of the world carry ever
40.0OO,O 900 passengers weekly.
-Lenenhock and Humboldt both say
that single pound of the finest spider
webs would reach around the world.
= The annual value of the human hair
exported from China is said to be about
100000. 1t is taken from the heads OF
paupers, criminals and the dead.
1t is a strange fact that the right
hand, which is more sensible to the
touch than the left, is less sensible than
the latter to the effect of the heat and
cold.
Official estimates of the worlds raw
sugar product for this year is as follows:
Beet, 100000 tons; cane, 2,655,000 tone.
Stock on hand, 1,150,00o tons; total,
s,765, 900 tons. Estimated consumption
for ensuing year, 1880, 900 tons.
1t takes each year 100000 acres of
forest to supply cross ties for the rail-
roads of the United States. 1t takes 15,-
100000 ties to supply the demand, for
which the contractors get an average of
35 cents apiece, making in the aggregate
$5,25o,o00.

indeed OF a very rapid advancement.

NERVOUSNESS THAT
CAUSED LOSS OF SLEEP.

From the Democrat, Monroe City, Mo.
Miss Zoe Megown is daughter of ex-Al-
derman Megown, OF Monroe City, No.,
where she was born and raised. Her history
was that OF majority OF noble women. She
married VIM. Slcles, q prosperous farmer OF
the place. Just before the birth of her first
child her trouble began. She found her blood
was seriously out OF order. This was soon
followed by nervousness that caused con-
rinual loss of sleep. She consulted ply
stefan and he prescribed for her, but instead
of being benefited she gradually grew worse.
In short time she began to grow weak and
had continual heavy, depressed sensation

end relief.
Fortunately for her neighbor called and

Mrs. Sicles bought two boxes from the drug
gist, B. D. Wood. She took them according
to directions. In short time her color re-
turned and the system was toned up to its
normal condition. Best of all, however, she
could sleep every night. To-day she is wei,
with strong, healthy little boy by her side.
The above is correct in every respect as may
be learned by writing Mrs. Sicles direct.
B. o. Wood, druggist, of Monroe City, In.
formed your CORRESPONDENT that he has sold
large quantities of Pink Pills for Pale People
and that the call for them is constantly In

without them. Also that among his large
number of customers, be has yet to find one
that has used Pink Pills for Pale People thai

different tables realize the wonderful

The progressive farmer has good
garden, and if he resides near market
is always on the lookout for earliest
varieties of fruits and vegetables in or
der to get good price for his product
The old saying: 1.-THE early bird
catches the worm" is no less true than
that 1.-The early gardener commands
the market"
The poultry yard, too, has proper at
tention, and neither it nor the garden
are left entirely to the care OF the
women folks" The care of from one
to five hundred hens is quite as labo-
rious as feeding stock, but the income
| is greater. AS the despised silver dol
| lars flow into the hands of the pro-
gressive farmer as the result OF we'll

But how about the other kind OF

In many eases. his wife is by far the

always well developed in one spot-the

FERTILITY OF THE. SOIL.
IL Natural Laws were Observed Fertility
Would Increase with Cultivation.

IL Natural Laws were Observed Fertility |
Would Increase with Cultivation.
E. S. Teagarden, of Iowa, in speak
ing of the wearing out of the soil by
cropping says that If natural laws were
observed the cultivation and crops
would increase the soil. He refers to
the natural growth OF timber for his
reasons. If the depletion of soil in the
growth of timber were the results, all
timber growth must come to an end;
but in the case of timber growth there
is constantly increasing demand for fer
tility to supply the increasing growth
from year to year: for who will dis
pute the fact that large tree increases
in the production of wood each season
to greater extent thar. . small one.
1t then follows that an increased
amount of fertility is supplied each
season, and this fact proves beyond
doubt that nature has supplied
! inexhaustible source of fertility. The
shade of the forest tends to preserve
moisture, and this is the all-important
condition of the soil necessary to pro-
mote growth. The roots penetrate the
earth in all directions to great depths,
preserve a mellow condition of soil, and
these two conditions are the essentials
of plant growth and they invariably
promote growth to the greatest possible
extent. Mellowness and moisture OF
the soil being preserved in their timber
growth, as has been seen, the results
/ are that continued and increased
growth from year to year over the pre-
cedipg year and receiving as they DO a
greatly increased amount of fertility,
demonstrate clearly that the same con-
ditions in all agricultural work will
produce constantly increasing yields OF
crops with an increasing fertility OF
soils.
