Pure and Undefiled Patriotism.

Patriotism, pure and undefiled, is one
of the noblest sentiments that can inspire
human heart, and no page of history
chronicles more sacrifices, more unselfsh
effort and more lofty and determined en-
deavor than characterized the period of
that bitter and uncompromising struggle.
The hundredth part of it has never been
told, and only in the books of the record
ing angels above are many of the entries
to the credit of those who gave up every
thing that they held dear that the honor
of the American nation might be upheld
and upon the historical battle grounds of
the disputed territory, as well as upon the
scattered graves all through the entire
Union, it is fitting and proper that gar
lands be laid and that patriotic tears may

Banker Morse had learned that his daugh-

young village physician. She, Mrs. Nor

angry scene at the mansion, in which the
purse-pfoud Morse had told his child he

Gladness Comes

\HTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasantef efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which It acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali,
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
ono should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
oed and gives most general satisfaction.

WE HAVE SWEET TEETH.

How the Little Warb1ers Are Lur d
to Their Doom in Tennessee.
Although the production Of beet su-
gar in the United States has never full
filled the high hopes Claus Spreckels
once had of that industry, yet the stat
istics issued by the Department of Ag-
riculture show that it is by no means
to be despised. The increase in pro-
duction, If nothing else, commands at
tention. In 1S95-96 the United States
produced 10000 tons of beet sugar and
in 1S96-97 1t produced 10000 tons. II
the beet root sugar of Europe were left
out of the calculation the United States
would be to-day the second sugar pro-
ducing country of the world and Java
would be the first. Last year the Uni
ted States produced 315,0OO tons Of
sugar and Java 495, 900 tons. Poor Cuba
used to be the worlds great source of
supply for cane sugar. In 1S94-95 Cuba
produced I, 100000 tons; last year she
produced only 100000 tons. So great is
the production of beet root sugar in
Europe, however, that it has been able
to supply without effort the remarkable
deficiency in the worlds sugar crop
caused by the Cuban war. In 1S96-97
no less than 1850, 900 tons of beet root
sugar were produced in Europe, Ger
many alone producing 100000 tons.
Last year the people of the United
States ate up no less than ], ,960, ,OS6 tons
of sugar. Americans have the sweetest
teeth of any people in the world, ex-
cept the English. The consumption Of
sugar in the United States averages
62.6 pounds per capita and in England
86 pounds. In Servia there Is the
smallest consumption per capita, each
person averaging only four pounds a
year.

price mark was three dollars and a

Eyes, it's real AMBER" said the deal
er. "That is, it's as real as any amber
you can get nowadays in pipe. 1t is
not cut from a piece of amber, but is
made by a melting process. Ninety

The other ten per cent. is compost

"Some years ago amber was plenty,
and a pipe like that would have a
mouthpiece of amber cut from a block
and never melted. But the amber
mines have practically given out, and
you can't get any more big pieces.
"a piece Of cut amber as long as
that on the pipe you have there would
be worth from twelve to fifteen dol
lars, and it wouldn't be bit better
than the manufactured amber. 1t
wouldn't be so durable and would not
feel any better between the teeth"

a man who had listened to the CONVEX
sation, land one of the largest pipe
manufacturers said that there had not
been piece of amber as long as three
inches in the market for five years."
"That's So" said the pipe seller.
"You may get pipe with a genuine
cut amber mouthpiece in some stores
in New York. but if you look up it's
record you will find it was made eight
or ten years ago and has been in stock.
This composition is used to-day in ex-
pensive meerschaum as well as in
briarwoods."

Grease to Destroy Horn Fly.

The horn fly, unknown to cattle
breeders until within a few years, is
now widely spread, and it's attacks
need to be counteracted in every locali-
ty. The best preventive is to apply
grease pretty thoroughly around the
head and horns where the bulk Of them
will congregate, and then sponge the
animal along its back, sides and legs
with kerosene emulsion. Enough Of
the grease will remain after the water
has dried away to repel the fly. 1t
breeds in the fresh excrement of cat
tie, and if this Is broken to pieces so
that it quickly dries, many of the eggs
will fail to hatch, or at least will not
reach maturity as fly.

Minor Dairying Matters.

There are small matters, or minor de-
tails, connected with dairying which at
tract no attention. The manner in
which a cow is MIXED may influence
her yield. At the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station milking one teat at time
and weighing the milk drawn from
each teat was tested, and the order
in which the teats were MIXED was
changed at each milking until each
teat had its turn of being MIXED first
and last. 1t was found that the teat
that was milked last gave less milk
than the others. The claim is that the
gland had been excited to action and
the milking delayed, which gave the
result as mentioned.

Early summer Is good time to prune
trees, provided the pruner is person
