FOR a RAINY DAY.
His Wife's Sayings Were the Means Of
His weathering N Financial Gale.

"I don't suppose you have forgotten
the panic of '93," said Dodzon. Il GER
tainly have not, for l had that unlucky
year impressed upon me in way that
| will not soon forget.
you remember how money disap-
peared when the crash came? Banks
that were fortunate enough to escape
going down in the general crash hoard
ed their money and refused to loan a
cent, even upon the best security.
81 have made it a rule never to talk
business with my wife, and she, poor
woman, never knew at the time the
many anxious days that l had, for |
tried to conceal my hopeless condition.
''At last it came to a point where l
was without even hope, and l stag
gered home with bankruptcy staring
me in the face. | had made the fight
and lost, and then, seeing all the saw
ings of lifetime swept away, l gave
up like a man doomed to die, and
knowing that no fate could ward off
the blow.
"I knew that my wife must be told,
so l took her in my arms and broke II
to her as gently as possible.
For several minutes she said not
word, and I began to fear that the
shock had been too much for her. l
had told her that if | could only raise
a small sum it might see me through
the worst and enable me to get upon
my feet again.
FINALLY she spoke: John she said,
4 have always had a presentiment that
some day something might happen,
and whenever ! CHANGED to have lit
tie money that I thought l would not
need ! put it away in one of Wille's
discarded toy banks. l haven't the
slightest idea how much there is, but
I have been adding to it for years. l
will get it and we will count it to-
gether.'
'I never knew until that moment
how a man feels when he is reprieved
under the gallows.
"She placed the bank before me and
T dumped the contents upon the table.
There was total of 73 cents, mostly in
pennies.

which I had surrounded myself. and /

How CaDitnI Is Wasted,

Capital is by no means an unmixed
blessing to the would-be poultry raiser.
My earnest belief is that in the ma
jority Of cases the chief use of capital
is to furnish something to throw away;
for one who is interested is sure to
think of so many hundred seemingly
desirable things, that capital melts
away into thin air at an alarming rate;
whereas, if one is so situated that the
fowls must pay their own expenses or
make none, their owner will have
learned to save his money, or to invest
it judiciously. by the time he has any
surplus to handle for anything besides
feed bills and necessary shelter.-Farm

Scrubs Day Is Over.

The breeding of fine horses, which
has been largely neglected for a num-
Der of years, is receiving a wonderful
impetus this season. Farmers have
commenced to realize that the world of
commerce cannot be moved without
good horses, and the increasing domes-
tic consumption and foreign demand
must advance the prices of horses suit
able for the markets. Many COM
munities are. commencing to take active
interest in the subject and in many
instances local organizations are
formed for the purpose of purchasing
prime breeding animals. This is move
ment in the right direction, as the day
for scrub stock is past.-Drover's Jour

nuNing NurserN Stock.

In making out orders for fruit trees
and vines don't forget to order from
nurseries having as near as possible the
same soil and climate as the trees will
have when planted and buy from a
nurseryman known to be practical, pro-
gressive and reliable. Get healthy, Wig
orous stock, with strong vitality, well
rooted, good cane or stalk, with
branches in proportion to the roots.
Apple trees are considered best for
planting at two or three years, not more
than the latter age; standard pears
should NE two or three years old,
dwarf Fsars, plums, peaches, currants,
goosebcrries and grapes, one to two
YearS old.

PRUNING GRAPEVINES.
1 Method Successfully Used by the
HorticuIturists of IA Prominent
Experiment Station.

The cut represents a good method of
pruning and training grapevines, rec
ommended in one of the station bull
letins. The vine in its early years is
pruned to make low, stout head that
will stand without support, having two
or more short arms. One of the new
fruiting canes is left on each of the two
arms and this is bent in circle and
first tied low down near the head. To
insure fruitfulness rather than a Wig
Drous growth of wood these canes
should receive a severe bend near the
base. This can be accomplished by
drawing up or pressing down, as re-
guired, in making the second or upper
tie. Care must, Of course, be taken to

why Butter Gets Strong.

The cause of butter getting strong is
in all probability due to germ of fer
mentation that lives and grows at a
low temperature and is not killed by
the ordinary process of cleansing. The
surroundings may be scrupulously
clean so far as appearances go, but the
germs are invisible and are not de-
stroyed, unless they are exposed to
a heat of 212 degrees for two or three
minutes. All the milk utensils should
be thoroughly scalded with live steam
if possible) and the cream should not
be kept more than two days and
should be ripened to a sharp acid, if
necessary by the use of a starter of
sour skinned milk.

Private Butter.

I am reminded of an incident on one of
the Atlantic steamers which took place not
SO long ago, and in which married member
of a family to whom it is not necessary to
allude was party. The husband and wife
appeared at all meals, tanked on either side
by large dish of butter.
As it was an English ship and butter was
not served at any of the meals, some Amcti-
cans who were neighbors were delighted to
see that the hor d 'oeuvre had at last a place
on the table. They helped themselves boun-
tifully at luncheon.
At dinner they were surprised to see little
sticks stuck in the middle of the mound OF
butter with a pasteborad card attached.
The card read:
private Butter. Keep OFF the Grass"
1t is needless to say that the hint was
taken.-N Y, journal

Have You Tried Swamp=Root?
To Prove for Yourself the Wonderful rlerts of This
Great Discovery Every Reader of This Paper
May Have Sample Bottle Sent
Absolutely Free by llail.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases OF the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidaey trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspectit.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery of
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself a
most wonderful cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
Ifyour water, when allowed to gemain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work. in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bot

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

Locking Up at Gibraltar.

Perhaps the favorite sight of Glib
raltar is the daily procession at sun
down for the locking Of the town
gates. The keeper of the keys, look
ing very like a prisoner despite his
uniform, marches through the town
in the center of a military guard, pre-
ceded by a regimental band, which
plays inspiring, familiar tunes. The
keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft
before him as an outward and visible
emblem of the vigilance of Britain in
guarding her prime military treasure.
'On arriving at the gates, the guard
salutes, the martial strains strike up
with a redoubled peal Of triumph,
while the great doors slowly swing to,
and are solemnly locked for the night.
Then right about turn, and the pro-
ceSsion mai cheS back to the convent
to deposit the keys in the governors
keeping, conveying by it's passage an
assurance to the people and garrison
that they may rest in peace. Once
the gates are shut it were easier for
a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle than for any unauthorized per-
son to go into Gibraltar. Even a be-
lated officer returning from pig-stick-
ing beyond the lines would be con-
fronted by so many formalities and
the necessity of mountaineering so
many high personageS that he would
probably prefer to encounter the dis
comfort of a Spanish inn without
Tit-Bits.
