The Farm, Beat. the Mortgage.

There is u story from Buffalo coun-
ty going the rounds that illustrates the
resources of a Nebraska farm: A farm
er up there from Missouri got discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the
first year, and, as there was a mort
gage of 500 on his farm, was about
ready to jump the whole business, but
determined to make one more effort
and sowed eighty acres. in wheat. 1t
happened to be poor year for wheat
and the stand was not very good. Con-
Guiding it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled uD his stakes and moved back to
Missouri, leaving the farm to fight the
mortgage all by itself. The farm was
equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lust
ilv SOME of the neighbors were hon
est enough to write about it down to
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got in
tersted enough to come back and take
a look. Then he stopped and harvest
ed his voluntary CROP He sold it for
enough to pay off the mortgage and the
rest of his debts and had tidy little
surplus over, with which he moved his
family back and now declares there is
no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln (Neb }

On Easter Monday, April 3, 1899, a
rural free delivery experiment was in
augurated upon an entirely new basis.
The county of Carroll, Nd, within a
convenient distance. of Washington
City, was selected as the basis of the
experimenting chief purpose of which
was to test the possibility of putting a
postoffice on wheels and carrying it
to the doors of the people in we'll
settled agricultural country, instead of
requiring the people to drop their avo-
cations and to travel to the postoffice.
For this purpose a postal wagon was
specially built, after the designs of
Edwin w. Shriver, postal clerk of the
Westminster, Nd, postoffice, who orig
mated the idea.
The vehicle is eight feet long, with a
sliding top, center handsomely painted
in blue and gold, and lettered gu. s..
Postal Wagon" It's interior is fitted
up with a counter, drawers and letter
boNes-siXteen large letter boxes in
front, forty-two behind, all zinc lined.
1t carries a driver and a postal clerk,
the latter of whom is authorized to re-
ceive, cancel, collect and deliver all
mails; to receipt for applications for
money orders and registered letters,
and, in short, to perform all the func-
tons of stationary postmaster.
This travelling postoffice, drawn by a
pair of strong horses, started over a
carefully laid out route of thirty
miles, and has since performed this
service daily in all weather, collecting
| mail from sixty United States letter
boxes, placed at intervals of every half
mile, and delivering to all the houses
on the route.
The progress of this experiment has
been watched with great interest by
agricultural communities all over the
United States, and within a few
months of its initiation 1873 applica-
tons for the establishment of similar
postal wagon service were received
from twenty-one different states. Tc
each of these inquiries reply was
made that the department desired
thoroughly to test the. economy and
efficiency of the service in the county
where it originated before venturine
upon further experiments. Among
the endorsements of the free delivery
system from members of congress Is
the following by Representative Coch
ran, of st. Joseph, No.:
Free rural delivery is no longer ar
eNperiment at Maryville. The people
are enthusiastic in praise of its merits

Our National Finances.

Columns of figures are seldom inter-
esting. yet fancy the two which reg
lister the receipts and expenditures of
the United States year by year from
1891 to the present time will, without
illumination, stimulate the curiosity
even of those ordinarily Indifferent to
statistics. Ii some modern Rip Van
Wrinkle We're to be handed this table,
which annually appears in the report
of the secretary of the treasury to con-
gress, he would know at a glance that
in one instance, at least, some great and
tremendous event had happened in his
country's history. Beginning with
gross receipts, which includes revenues
and loans, of $4,771,0oO in 1891, he
would notice a steady growth until
they reached $S3,371,640 in 1861. Newt
year, 1862, they were 1881 ,6S0,000 an
increase in twelvemonth of nearly a
half billion of dollars; in 1868, $780,.
379, 652; in 1864, $1,393, 461 900; in 1865
81, su5 ,939,345, aud for three years there.
after receipts in excess of one billion
dollars annually. From then until this
day he would see, also. that the govern,
ment's ordinary revenues have been
counted annually in the hundreds Of
millions. If, after seeing such pic.
ture, one were to tell him that this
country, a generation ago, suffered foul
years of strife such as the world had
never seen, it ought to occasion in hi.
mind no surprise. The plain, cold fig
ures are sufficiently graphic to tell the
story OF the magnitude of the Civil war

The success of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the cure, of diseases pc
culiaf to women, is beyond comparison
greater than that of any other medicine
prepared especially for woman's use. It
is not cure-all but a scientific prepare
ton, the prescription of an eminent
living physician, still in active practice
and who, assisted by his staff of nearly
score of trained physicians, treats and
cures thousands of women every year.
/" Favorite Prescription . has an invigor-
ating and vitalizing power peculiar to
itself and phenomenal control of dis
eases which attack the delicate organs of
woman. It permanently cures backache,
bearing down pains, liberation, inflam-
nation and like ills by curing their
cause. It dries up the drains, puts out
the fever fire of Inflammation and cures
the corroding ulcer. It makes marriage
a happiness and motherhood blessing,
by giving to women such an abundant
vitality that the baby blossoms into life
as sweetfy, simply and naturally as a
flower. Sick women are invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce by letter free of charge.
All correspondence strictly confidential.

The San Francisco call., 1899-04-16

TO the ground at noon yesterday by order
of the Board of Supervisors to make room
for. new structure that was ordered
built some days ago. The leper patients
and their small belongings were removed
to another of the groups of tumble-down
structures FRIDAY, and when Supervisors
Holland, Aigeltinger, Attridge and Kali
ben of the Committee on Public Build
ings arrived on the scene shortly before
noon yesterday everything was IN readl-
ness for the work of demolition. Fire ap-
paratus was put in readiness to prevent
the spread of the flames to adjoining
structures and then the match was ap-
piled. The old wooden shell burned fierce
ly for a time and residents in that Vtcin-
ity who had not been apprised of what
was going on became alarmed and some
one turned in a fire alarm. The depart
ment responded, but there was no need
of the services of the firemen, for be-
fore they reached the scene the build
dering enibers. The ruins will be cleared
as quickly as possible and the construc-
ticn Of the new building will be begun
without loss of time.
The building to be erected on the site
of the old leper building will be of cheap
construction, but in its dimensions 1t Will
be ample Tor the present needs Oh the
unfortunates who are to occupy IT. 1t Is
to be fitted with comfortable beds and all
furnishings necessary for the comfort Of
the patients and their attendants.
The building destroyed yesterday which
has been occupied for many years by the
lepers who have been confined at the
Pesthouse, was not fit for human occu-
pancy, and the fact that 1t was the only
place provided for the shelter of those
afflicted with leprosy has long been a dis
grace to the city. Some time ago The
Call exposed the true condition of things
at the Pesthouse. and as a result of the
public indignation resulting from a knoWl-
edge of the facts the Board of Supervisors
voted sufficient funds for the construction
of a new building 1t was thought best
not to build an expensive building as il
is hoped that in the near future arrange

empty long before the close. However.
the pleasant jingle of the treasury box did
much to recompense the deserted, mar
tistic appearance of the hall.
A large number of friends OF the hospi-
tai neglected to visit the fete during the
week, reserving themselves and their well
lined purses for the closing night The
pleasant result was that quite as much
money was taken in at the door and spent
at the various booths last evening as dur
ing all the previous nights of the show
combined
At the matinee there was also a spIen-
did ATTENDANCE. The little ones of the La
dies Relief Society attended in a body as
the guests of Miss Kohl. and the generous
hostess saw that every child had a chance
at the grab-bag and a plate of icecream.
The board OF lady managers of the Chill
dren Hospital spared neither time nor
expense to make the fete an artistic a
well as a financial success, and to their
excellent management all credit for
most pleasant affair is due.
Next September the great charity ball
will he held and the dance will be the
first great event of the winter season.
