An impossible Mngcr.

In the year 1864 the parliament Of
Dole. in France. was called upon to de-
eide an extraordinary wager between
two inhabitants of Pasmas. One of the
two had agreed that if the other would
pay him five dollars, ready money. he
would furnish him with a certain num-
Der Of grains of millet in proportion to
the number of children who should be
born within a certain extent Of coun-
try and be baptized during one year.
For the first child he was to furnish one
grain. two for the second, four for the
third. and so on. always doubling the
number of grains for each successive
birth.
The number Of children born was GO,
and the proportion of grains o he sup
piled was so enormous that the party
bound by the wager demanded the can
ceiling of the bet as being based on an
impracticable condition. The court
decided. after making the necessary
calculation. that the wager was natu-
rally impossible to be carried out. and
il consequently decreed that the party
who had received IL five dollars. on
condition Of an event which he de-
clared himself unable TO meet should
return that sum 10 his opponent and
should pay an additional sum of five
dollars, which was the only chance of
loss incurred by the winner if the mil
let had been furnished Detroit Free

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. TO prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

skim MILK and Whey,

One of the most needed reforms in
creameries and cheese factories is in
the care Of skim milk and whey, says
Elgin Dairy Report. Filthiness, which
is practiced in many places, comes
back in severe punishment to every pa
tron. 1t exists because the patrons
and all concerned are ignorant of
sanitary principles and their effect on
the value of the product. In many
creameries and factories pains are
taken to have an elevated. double tank
for skim milk and whey. One of the
tanks is cleaned and scalded out every
day, so that this valuable food goes
into a clean receptacle each morning.
In addition some creameries use the
exhaust steam to pasteurize the skim
milk as it comes from the separator,
that it may have the largest value pos
sible when fed to hogs and calves.

GOOD WAGON JACK.
Its Designer Claims for IT Many Ac-
vantaGes Not Possessed by
other Devices.

The trouble with many wagon-jacks
Is that they are inclined to tip toward
the end of the lever, if the ground is
little soft or uneven. Another fault is
that it takes the greater part OF mans
weight TO raise heavy wagon because
lever is made too short. In this
wagon-jack the lever is made long. 1t
projects a foot beyond the bolt. which is
the fulcrum, at /. The advantage of
this is that the lever does not have TO be
raised or lowered at / for the front and
hind axle. The base, L, comes well out
beyond the end of the lever, A, so there
is no tipping over the end OF the lever.
With this wagon-jack can lift ton
and a half; can take of wheel with

There Is 4 natural adapt4biIity of the
orchard for peas aside from the fact
that the pea roots increase nitrogen in
the soil. The pea must be sown early.
and therefore the blowing is done when
it does not injure the tree roots Then
the broad leaves on the pea shade the
soil and apparently absorb enough
moisture at night to keep the plant
fresh and growing. Then after the
peas are harvested the hogs can be
turned in to eat what have been scat
tered in harvesting. II the hogs are left
without rings in their noses they will
root over the surface soil and thus cover
" hat excrement they have dropped.
This. with continued extra feeding l..
the orchard is the best way TO enrich il.
