Millions Given Away.

1t is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro-
prietors Of DR.. Kings New Discovery

have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction Of knowing it

hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis,
Hoarseness and all diseases of the

cured by it. Call on G. R. Taggart,

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.
College Of Agriculture, Madison, Wis.
Close Of the Short Course.


One of the most successful terms
ever experienced in the College of
Agriculture has drawn to a close
and the young men have left for
their homes or to positions which
have been secured for them by the
College.
The attendance during the past
term in the Short Course In
Agriculture was 1876, more than
double that Of three years ago; of
this number thirty-two came to
us from other states and 164 from
Wisconsin.
Dairymen, stock breeders, horti-
culturists and general farmers
have been quick to realize the
Importance of the services of these
young men, and no less than one
hundred calls have been received
at the College during the past
three weeks for the students.
Seventy-one students secured
positions as managers and helpers
on dairy, stock and fruit farms,
and left the College at the close of
the term to enter upon their re-
spective lines of work III the
different states to which they had
been called as follows: 5 to Illinois
5 to Iowa; 3 to New York; 3 to
Minnesota; 2 to Montana; 2 to
Tennessee and one to each OF the
following states: Mississippi,
West Virginia, California, Virgin
la, Nebraska, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts.
A accepted positions in Wiscon-
sin while the larger portion of the
students return to their own or
their parents farms.
Numerous calls for the young
men are now coming in daily
which we are unable to fill.
The next term of the Short
Course, beginning Nov. %, 1899,
promises to surpass all previous
terms in the way of attendance;
already 10 applications have been
received for admission to the
course from young men of this
and other states.

Non Seoujtur.

The attempt to change a natural
law by legislative enactment is pat
ent sham, a puerile fiction. A legal
decision, the "order" of court, or
the proclamation of the governor
will ANONYMOUSLY fail to make water
run up hill, lift a man out of hole or
expand wasp waist" For a legis-
lature to resolve that tight-lacing
shall cease even if such resolve is rein
forced by the executive order and the
militia, will not only EN- phasize the
above fact but bring the lawmakers
into disrepute for failure to manifest
ordinary sagacity or common sense.
The resolution of assem- blyman Dag
gett assumes that tight-lacing is inju-
rious in that it unnaturally com
presses the vital organs of the woman
so squeezed and impairs their func-
tions. But the pressure imposed upon
the waist by tight-lacing is evidently
the attempted substitute for the pres
sure that nature suggests. A hint for
the occasion of it may be found in the
following conundrum: $ young lady
asked fool editor how to make mot
enough out of the word enough and
he told her it was done by transposing
the letters into words like this: Take
the Bird, End and lst letters for the
first word and the 9th, Attn and 9Th let
tiers for the second word, and you have
two words that signify something that
is not enough for any young lady"
