 A writer in the Review of Reviews sums up the attributes of the weekly paper as follows: "Each copy is read not only by the five people usually credited to the ordinary paper, but by twice or thrice that number in many instances, for many subscribers pass their paper on and on to the inmates of less fortunate homes. These publica- tions are pre- -eminently the home pa- pers of newspaperdom. They are not superficially scanned while men travel to business and then left for brakemen to gather up. They go directly into homes and the reading of them is a duty as well as a pleasure. Hence their peculiar value to advertisers and their value as moulders of public opinion"

This Information is Worth More Than
 the Present Value of a Bin Full of
 Grain.
 In New Haven. Co.,, just outside the village of Seymour, Ct, there lives a good, honest, hardworking tiller of the soil, named John Castle. Like every sensible farmer, Mir Castle subscribes for papers, and one evening as he was looking over his Ansonia weekly, his eye chanced to catch a reading notice which proved bonanza for him and frightened up his Tagging spirits over the low price of grain and farm produce, and the high price of the commodities which are necessary for farmers exis- tence A farmer reasons in his own peculiar way and he calls spade spade, so Mir Castle says quietly to him. self: "I want just such a remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out half what 1t claims, it will cure my lame back. However much good may result from one box, little or no harm can en- sue." The next time MT Castle visited Ansonia be made some inquiries at a drug store about the preparation and was informed that scores of people in Ansonia and the surrounding country had thoroughly tested Doan's Kidney Pills and published their experiences in Ansonia papers. This was enough for Mir Castle, he purchased supply at a drug store and what follows. is his ex- perience: "I have at times been afflict- ed with backache and lumbago. It would catch me in the small of my back and I would feel it very much in the back of my head and in my neck. It hurt me to bend over or to make any sudden movement, On these occasions there would be some annoyance with the kidney secretions and the pain and lameness would hang on me for quite spell. My housekeeper had used Doan's Kidney Pills and spoke so high ly of them I got box at drug store and gave them trial. found them to stop my back from aching and made me feel better generally. From my own experience I know that Doan's Kidney Pills can be relied upon"
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all deslers-price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster -Milburn Co, Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents for the United States.
 Remember the name Doan's and take no substitute.

1871 March 1898.

A contributor to the New Milford Gazette quotes several ancient descrip- tions of the month of March, and then proceeds to compare last month with March, 1871. He says:
 A pleasant march indeed has been the one in 1898. Yet more bright and pleasant one occurred in 1871, which was so from the beginning to end with out any reaction, pleasant warm, and some days very warm, One day about the middle of the month the mercury arose to 84 in the shade. The snow had all disappeared before the 1st, and we had no more through the whole month. Farmers were blowing as early as the first week, the ground being set tied and grass looking quite green in wet places as early as the 10th, and not until April did the change occur, then thunder showers and cold, sour wealth er would follow which terminated in rather an unpleasant month.
