Can Afford to Have . Cow.

Just after President McKinley's In
augurntion he had his relatives who
were in the city at q family dinner at
the white house, says the Ladies' Home
journal in an illustrated anecdotal
biography of the president. 1t was u
large company, and very good din
ner. Dear old Mother Mckinley was
there, but she was not very talkative.
She was too happy for words. But she
kept a sharp eye on the dinner, and no
detail of it escaped her. She was i'm
pressed by the quantity of cream
served with the fruit and coffee. for
she looked up at her son in her sweet
way and said: william. you must
keep COW now" Some of the young
er members of the family party found
It difficult to suppress smile, but the
president. with his usual tact and
graciousness, replied: Eyes, mother,
we can afford to have a COW now, and
have all the cream we can possibly
use."

BILL ARP ON THE METEORs.
KNOWS E0THING OF THEIR ORI-
GIN.

He Has q Letter from Arkansaa
Describing a Phenomena Out Til There
Last Month-AIeteors Never Hurt
Anybody.
A friend living In Arkansas writes
me about the recent fall OF meteor
near his home, and he compliments
me by asking some questions that l
cannot answer. The origin of meteors
and their flight and fall is yet the un-
solved problem of the ages.
He says that on the Goth OF last
month. at O'Clock in the morning,
when there was clear sky and not q
cloud to be seen, there was rum
bling sound OF thunder 80 weird and un-
natural that 1t was alarming. It was
like the rolling of heavy trucks over
an uneven platform, only immensely
louder. 1t was heard in ell the noigh-
boring towns, and they all telegraphed
each other to know II mill had not
blown up or magazine exploded.
Suddenly there was an explosion In
the air and dark cloud formed and
meteoric fragments fell at different
places In this vicinity. a small piece
that weighed one and a half pounds
fell In field near by and was brought
to town while it was yet hot. 1t was
powder-blackened on the outside, but
inside was a grayish color, and It's
particles shone like gold dust. Under
the microscope they resemhled quick
silver.
1t was full minute from the begin.
ming of the rumbling thunder till the
explosion came, and the course of the
sound was from east to west. The
event was 80 unexpected and so like
themythology of Jupiter Ton0ns throw
Ing bamb from Mt. Olympus that the
white people were spellbound, and the
negroes declared 1t was warning and
went to prayer.
Philosophers and astronomers have
been studying these phenomena for
2,boO years, and have not yet agreed
upon q solution. The archives OF the
Chlnese empire record the fall of six
teen great aerolites from 300 to 600
years before Christ. The Greeks and
IsomSns record o number, and Aristotee
Sno Dl0genes commented. upon them,

bRiMsTONE CURES DIPHTHERIA. -
A few years ago, when diptheria was
raging in England, a gentleman accom-
panied the celebrated Doctor Field on
his rounds to witness the so.called
"wonderful cures" which he perform
ed, while the patients of others were
dropping on all stiles. All he took with
him was powder of sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured every case
without exceptlon-t that is, he put q
teaspoonful into wine-glass of water,
and stirred 1t with his fnger instead of
q spoon, as sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water, and ON the
sulphur becoming we'll mixed he gave
it as gargle, and in ten minutes the
patient was out of danger, as brim-
stone kills every species of fungus IN
man, beast and plant in few minutes.
Instead of splitting out the gargle, and,
In extreme cases, in which he had been
called jnst in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the gargling, he blew the sui
phur through quill into tho throat,
and after the fungus had shrunk to al
low it, then the gargling. He never
lost patient from diphtheria. Or if
the patient cannot gargle, take live
coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle q
spoonful or two OF the birthstone at
time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it,
holding the head over it, and the fun
gus will die.-Lond0n Lancet.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YoU?--
Nearly every one you know or meet
has some eccentricity you could point
out, no doubt. They entertain certain
views or have peculiar way Of doing
things that the generality of mankind
think nonsensical, and perhaps absurd.
We often think of the remark of the
old Quaker to his wife who said to her ::
Everybody is a little queer, Mary,
but thee and me, and sometimes I
think thee a little queer also." We
see great many people who are con-
sidered queer because they get into
some sort of groove in farming and
nothing can induce them to try to pull
out and adopt up-to-date methods. In
passing around through the country
we still see an occasional farmer who
wastes his time trying 10 save fodder
by topping his corn, or in cultivating
crop still thinks it absolutely necessary
that the bar plow should first be used,
throwing the dirt away from the corn,
and aftelward c,lltiyating up to it. Not
few do their planting and seeding
SIN the mOon," and no amount Of ar
gument would ever convince them that
good crops could be grown if started
when the "sign" wasn't right. One
OF your neighbors doesn't get along as
well as he ought because he works
without any sort of plan or system.
Another fails for the reason that he is
always behind with his work. While
others spend too much time at cross
road stores or dabble IN politics in
which there is no pay. If all the fell
lows round about you have their short
comings, have you ever stopped to
consider that you too may be ''littJe
queer 2" It's good thing to know
just where our weak places are and
then use some effort to strengthen
them as we 60 along.-Farmers'
Guide.
