A SPASM OF SENSE.

Now, let's have short spasm OF
common sense. If people who have
been chemically sick are so soon
and so easily cured by WampoIe's
Preparation, why were they not
cured by some of the medicines they
took before i? Because medicines
are like novels and songs; once in a
while u good one in tons of tons of
poor ones. That's the reason and
its reason enough. But what is this
preparation made of that it should
do what others cannot The an
swer is simple and straight. 1t is
made from fresh Cod Livers, the
Hypophosphites. and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry Bark,
combined in a new and scientific
way. 1t isn't lot of homogeneous
ingredients shaken together, but
chemically united, so as to make one
thing of unprecedented potency. 1t
is no Anticipated mixture-fit to
upset the stomach of u Greenlander,
but Cod Liver Oil $50 far as that
goes) with the taste and odor COM
pletely taken out of it.

Mr.. Ward L. Smith, of Fredericks,
town, Mo-, was troubled with chronic
diarrhoea for over thirty years. He
had become fully satisfied that it was
only a question of short time until
he would have to give up. He had
been treated by some of the best ply
sicians in Europe and America but got
no permanent relief. One day he
picked VI newspaper and CHANGED to
read an advertisement of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. He got a bottle of it, the
first dose helped him and its continued
use cured him. For sale by all drug
gists and dealers. Benson, Smith &

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office Of the Electric Company and said:
Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number IL
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

The Dying Lion, a German Fable.


An old lion, who had formerly been
very cruel, lay powerless before his den
and awaited his death. The animals,
who formerly fell into a fright when
they saw Jim, did not pity him; for
who indeed worries himself about the
death of disturber of the peace, be-
cause Of whom one can never be quiet
and secure? They rejoiced rather that
they should now soon be rid of him.
Some of them, who still smarted from
the wrong which he had previously
done them, now wished to vent their
hate on him. The crafty fox mortified
the lion with biting speeches; the wolf
addressed to him the angriest abuse;
the OK prodded him with his horns; the
wild boar wounded him with his tusks,
and even the patient ass gave him blow
with his hoof. The noble horse alone
stood apart and did nothing to him, al
though the lion had devoured his moth
er ''Wilt thou not" asked the ass,
"give the lion one behind the ears?'
The horse answered gravely, 81 consider
it base to revenge myself on an enemy
who can no longer harm me.

FiSticufs Forbidden.

Though the Chinese have never heard
of the great DR.. Watts, it is odd TO find
them acting upon the rule laid down by
the hymn writer for the guidance of
children, whose little hands, he said,
were not made to tear each others eyes.
Not that the countrymen of Ii Hung
Chang love harmony more, but they
love brawling with the fists less. For in
China to strike with the hand or to
kick with the foot is looked upon as a
public offense, not a private insult at
all. Thus it happens that one may often
see two Cinnamon quarreling with the
utmost vigor, jabbering away at one
another with an energy that fishwife
might envy, throwing their arms about,
but never coming to blows. The onlook-
ers, too, knowing that they, or their
village, may be punished, take good
care to prevent the disputants from re-
sorting to coercion.

A Wind That Tries tho Temper.

We think March winds are pretty
bad, but there is one wind in Spain
that seems to defy the proverb about the
i'll wind that blows nobody any good.
Everybody hates this wind, but, fortu-
nately, it is not very common, or life
in that country might hardly be worth
the living. This wind is called the So
lano, and it halls from Africa. AS it
comes rushing up from the sandy Sahara
it is like fierce blast from fiery fur
mace. AS long as it lasts business must
cease and folk seek the shade and shell
ter of their houses. It's effect upon the
temper is so very trying that the Span
iards have proverb warning wise peo-
pie mot to ask a favor in the solano, +"
because then every one is so angry and
irritable that to grant favor is out of
the question.

Again, counsel all clerks to conquer
the trials Of their particular position.
One great trial for clerks is the incOn-
sideration of customers. There are peo-
pie who are entirely polite everywhere
else, but gruff and dictatorial and con-
temptible when they come into store
tic buy anything. There are thousands
of men and women who go from store
to store to price things, without any
fdea of purchase. They are not satisfied
until every roll Of goods is brought
down and they have pointed out all the
real or imaginary defects. They try
on all kinds of kid gloves and stretch
them out of shape, and they put on all
styles of CLOAK and walk to the mirror to
see how they look, and then they sail

Triumph of King Waterway.

King Katterwag was very old,
His lands were very wide.
One day he sat upon his throne
And sobbed and screamed and cried.
"Oh, what" cried he, "if l should be
Surrounded by the tide?"
He beat his breast and tore his hair,
Grew laniS and pale and thin.
He seized his valet by the beard
And shook his humble chin.
"What walls could keep the ocean out
If wishful TO get INF"
Each day he faded more and more
With thinking that the sea
Might gurgle down his aged frame
Ere he had time TO fee.
Though where he lived the ocean waves
We're never known TO be.
At last he built a boat of cork
And hired a valiant crew,
And in that boat he lived and died,
With six strong men in blue.
"Now let the ocean come" he cried,
''We all know what to dol"

Kissing In kentucky.

for kissing a girl once. About three
months back another man in the same
state was fined so for kissing another
girl three times 1t will be interesting
to watch these osculatory experiments,
for by so doing we may discover just
how often it is necessary to kiss Ken

occasion and told to bring his certifi-

"Why, Pat, this is the old certificate. "
"Sure, 1 know that, your honor"
said Pat calmly. "And isn't it the same

The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1897-01-23

Fed that if they had followed his advice
hey would have found it good. He
applied the cutting back particularly to
the peach tree.
In the spring OF 1892 I superintendent
The setting out OF about II acres of or
chard on the experiment station farm
at Wooster. This a. i variety orchard
with Il vengeance. such Is no private
individual would care about planting.
containing over 500 kinds of the differ
eRt fruits. Tie tree came from many
Larts of the United States. and coming
1T different times, they were not in as
GOOD shape as if they had all beer
bought at 4 place, yet by severe cut
ting back the per cent. of loss was small.
] remember particularly the apple
trees. which We cut back in very much
the manner shown in Fig. I and Fig. 2
and all other trees were cut back nearly
as much The season started out very
wet, put got very dry before the mid
de of the summer. This experience
showed me that not only the peach tree
was benefited by a sever pruning at
rhe time of tra~nsplantilg. but all other
fruit trees as we'll.
In the spring of 1896 I spent nearly
TIE entire months of April and May II
planting trees on the grounds OF the
Ohio State university. There were nc
fruit trees, but a large collection OF
shade and ornamental trees and shrubs
The season was unusually favorable fol-
the growth of trees, yet in looking them
ever at the cad of the season l find that
those cut back severely have done the
lest. While they may lave looked rather
bad to start with, they have more than
made up the difference by their good
growth later en-. About $50 shade
trees were planted out very late-so late
that l had my doubt if any would grow.
The leaves were out to full size, and
they had made quite a growth of wood,
but by cutting them back severely,
with the favorable season, nearly every
one lived.
While the proper cutting Tack of 4
tree at tranSplanting time may not be
the most important point, yet L be-
lieve it to be the one to be most insist
ed on. because it is the one most likely
10 be neglected. 1t seems rather hard
when we buy i tree. TO cut away the
part We most want. but could We see
the roots rs they are in the soil, and
