Jennie Lind's Retirement.

Thirty-seven years before her death

Every appearance had b3Cu u dra-

clear by the following narrstive.
Once an English friend found her
sitting on the steps of bathing ma
chine on the sands, with a Lutheran
Bible on her knee, looking out in the
glory of sunset that was shining over
the waters.
They talked, and the talk drew near
to the inevitable questiOn-"O, Mad

you ever came to abandon the stage,

"When every day." was the quiet
answer; 'it made me think less of

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. Catarrh
is constitutional disease, and can be
successfully treated only by means OF
constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly puri-
fies the blood and removes the scrofu-
lous taints which cause catarrh. The
great number of testimonials from
those who have been cured of catarrh
by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the un-
equalled power of this medicine to
conquer this disease. II troubled
with catarrh give Hoods Sarssparilla
a fair trial at once.

Rain.

The long, much wished-for rain
has come, covering large part OF
Central Kentucky If not of the whole
State. The drouth which has pre-
vailed In this county for more than
two months, and which resulted in
great Inconvenience and considerable
cost to town and country people, was
broken on Sunday night, when a
gentle rain began which. at intervals,
lasted until Tuesday night.
The rainfall has been light, but all
of it has been absorbed. The guam
tity has not been sufficient to start the
creeks. Stock water in Hinkston has
collected in pools, thus relieving
somewhat the anxiety that has pre-
vailed. The fields have been suffi-
GENTLY watered to help the wheat that
for weeks has been lying in the earth.
The dust has been completely settled,
thus greatly assisting in their work

The atmosphere has been purified and
eleansed; noxious germs have been
settled Now, TO all we say, open your
mouths and notrils, breathe long and
and deep of this life. giving atmos-
phere.
Many cisterns which have been al
most or completely emptied, have re-
ceived sufficient water for domestic
purposes until winter rains come.

all blessings flow? Receive not with
mute ingratitude the bounty which
has sustained you. Complain not be-

are favored people. Rejoice and be

Be Good For Something.

"He has good material in him." we
often hear it said of some young man,
and we count the words a commenda-
ton. But after all they count for
very little. A pile of boards is good
material, but it can be built into a
church, or prison, home or a place
o: infamy. Iron is good material, but
out of it can be formed a railing to
protect or chain to imprison. A
person must not only have good ma
terial in him, but he must make good
use of it, or he is mere cipher in the
world, and might as well never have
been born Farm and Fireside.
