Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Append
citis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of
GREENS AUGUST FLOWER, in liquid
fo'm, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

FATAL FALL FROM A ROOF.
Fred Steele Killed at HOughtOn
Saturday Last-Remains
Brought to Baraga.

Following is from the Houghton
Daily Mining Gazette of Monday:
Fred Steele, employed in the Du-
luth, South Shore & Atlantic Rail
road company's yards at Houghton,
fell off the roof of the freight house
Saturday morning shortly after Z
O'Clock, death resulting shortlyaf-
ter noon from the injuries received,
Steele was employed in the trans
fer gang. and went up on the roof
to take down the signal light. This
was not his duty, but he did it to
accommodate a friend. HIS friend
told him to leave the lamp there and
he would get it later on, but before
he was aware of the fact, Steele had
climbed to the roof and secured the
ladder. He was on his way down
when he remarked that the roof was
very slippery. No sooner had he
uttered the words than he slipped
and fell to the track below. 1t was
not thought that he was badly hurt
at first, as he jumped up, but i'm
mediately fell over and began to
groan, as if in great pain. When
picked up he was unconscious and
remained so until he died. A ply
sician was called, and did all in his
power to relieve the pain, as that
was about all he could do, for it was
evident that the fall produced
serious internal injuries. After
death the body was prepared for
burial at Theodore Lange S under
taking rooms, and Sunday after
noon the remains were shipped to
Baraga, where step-brother re-
sides, for interment.
Steele was % years old, was born
in Bay City, and lately has been
known TO be a very steady young
man. 1t is said that he recently be-
came q member of the M. f. church
and Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION of Hancock.

'iat is TO say, as soon as they have
got q firm hold upon the soil. If sovn

be oats, and the oats should be sown
at the rate of not more than three or
o pecks per acre and then harvested

pasture thus we'll established should
last many years.
1t may also be possible to establish
L good permanent pasture in some in
stances when the land Is too we in
the spring season to admit of cultiya-
ton. If the dead grass or reeds on
these sloushs can be burned off in the
early spring. seed can be sown upon
them of the kinds named above, but
less in quantity. They should be sown
and narrowed just when the frost is
out a short distance from the surface
ana the p%asturing should begin as soon
as the ground is firm enough to bear
up the animals.

else of forethought our dairy cows

CrOwifnx the Chicks.

One Of the most serious mistakes
into which beginners-and for that
matter, the older breeders-fall into, is
allowing the flocks to become crowded.
Often the season Is begun with only 4
limited number Of hens, which are cas-
lily accommodated, but the Matching Of
young chicks soon increases that num-
Der, until before the owner is aware
of the fact he has perhaps almost Il
hundred in the flock. The little fell
lows thrive nicely for 4 time and show
no i'll effects of the crowding for per-
haps six weeks or two months. but the
trouble is sure to come, and before dis
covered will often carry off the entire
lot. Chicks as they grow should be
allowed more o gradually, until
given proportionately as much room as
the original flock of old fowls had. Do
not start with the expectation Of kill
ing off the young fowls before they
show the effects of overcrowding. as
they will invariably cause trouble be-
fore large enough for the table.
The Opelousas courier., 1899-08-26
Growing Ounces.

Ounces do not, as Il rule. do well
everywhere; but there are very few
places where they will not fruit. They
occupy but little room and their fruit
is always in demand. 1t is especially
fine when canned. The peculiar flavor
of the fruit Is strong enough to flavor
many times it's own weight of other
fruit preserves when used for that pur-
pose. The ounce and the asparagus
plant enjoy the popularity Of being
able to assimilate more salt than any
other two members Of the vegetable
family thus far brought under cult
Walton. Ii manur from the pigsty is
used about ounce trees they seem to
do very we'll, but Il of the best fer
tiliZers is common salt. about one
quart for each tree. worked we'll into
the soil. They need fertilizing every
year. They should also be pruned.

Custom Observed IN an Old

London Cburchysrd.
There Is still observed In al out-cf-
the-way London churchyard one CT
those ancient customs, the observance
OF which gave SO much delight to
Charles Dickens, and whose desCrip-
ton OF which has done SO much to
endear to all who read the right little,
tight little island. Twcuty-one ladies',
either past the age CT s~eIf-suppOrt or
unable by reason Of disease to make a
living fer themselves, have gathered
1or centuries In this same Churchyard,
on tle sane day, to receive the same
gifts from the beneicerce CT the same
lady, row. OF course, long since dead.
Priory Church Of St. Bartholomew tho
Great is well worth a visit from the
tourist in search Of that which IS an
cient. Hidden away behind the Great
postordce building of St. Ma-tin's-Ie-
Grand. next door to the old hosplta!
1hat bears its patrons name, and
within a few yards of the quaint court
yard where the bluecoat boys, hatless
and n yellow stockings, play their
games. Founded In 1923, it still re-
tains its heavy Norman pillars and
arches, which have been care
fully restored where the stone has
crcs.nbled through centuries OF decay.
It's narrow churchyard is bordered on
two sides by houses which have exag-
gerated their architectural tendency to
oVerhang. The gravestones are so old
that most Of the inscriptions are worn
on, n they are only to be reached by
Climbing a sort Of portable stage coach
ladder from the pathway. Here gather
on the appointed morning the twenty
one Old ladies', for, as q rule, they are
old, and very old. The distribution Of
sixpences. hotcross buns, shawls and
t"o-shi!llng pieces takes place in &C
cordance with legendary custom after
morning service. It IS not quite GER
ain TO i few centuries when the thing
vas first started, but it has been go
ing on now for several hundred years.
Tbs ~onlOokers, as a rule, are a few
fresh-coCplex!oned nurses in pretty
Donnets and c!oahs, and half a dozen
residents Of Little Britain. After Rev.
Sir Rorradaile Sayory, the present rec
tor OF st. Bart" has conducted morn-
ing prayers. the twenty-one aged
Games mount the stage coach ladder
and make their way to the particular
gravestone on which the twenty-one
new sixpences lie. and each old lady,
having picked up her sixpence. is then
presented with the form, the bun
