FARMERS FEARFUL.
Afraid That Free Delivery Will Be
Failure In the Winter.

Farmers living on the lines of the
rural free delivery routes are agreed
that such a delivery system is of great
benefit to them but they are doubtful
about the success of the scheme.
The carriers find little trouble this
time of the year in making deliveries,
but the farmers are afraid that when
winter sets in and the roads become
bad that the carriers will find great
difficulty in covering their routes in
the specified time. The roads around
Topeka are generally poor and the win
ter rains and SHOWS leave them in mis-
cradle condition.

A distinguished foreign physician
says that the Inhalation through the
mouth and nos trils of the fumes Of a
mixture of menthOl and chlorofOrm Is
an infallible cure for a cold. 1t de-
stroys the disease germs that have
found lodgment in the air passages.
His prescription is ten grammes of
chloroform to some eight cent?
grammes of menthOl. Five or six
drops of this mixture are poured into
the palm of the hand and breathed
both into the nose and mouth. DR..
Winsche says the coming Of cold is
usually stopped by one Inhalation Of

But the world still waits for Paine's
rainbow flag, which to him meant the
blending of all nations into a beautiful
union, before which war must pass
away forever. That rainbow he no
doubt saw In the American dag
which in his last Crisis he spoke of as
beautiful to the eye, ''and to contem-
plate its rise and origin inspires a sen
sation of sublime delight" The rain
bow is in every one of Paine's writ
ings, whatever storms sweep through
them. He was the typical enthusiast
of liberty, equality, fraternity; he was
the passionate lover of America for the
sake of it's exalted virtues, it's free
dom and Justice; and it is but sober
historic truth to affirm that no man
ever lived whose mind and life and
work were more transfused with
sweet humanity than Thomas Paine

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In your paper of May 10th, RObt A.
Mills thinks we ought to grow cherries
in Florida. 1 wish we could. When
I came TO Florida in 1882, brought
about all the varieties of fruit I had
in my nursery in Illinois.
The apple, cherry, gooseberry, cur
rant, raspberry and pie plant or hui
bard failed. was not satisfied with
one trial, but made two or three before
giving it up. The cherry I budded on
to native seedlings, but they would not
make good union, and SO many broke
off. W. III. Mann.

A London bookseller tells this story:
zone time Sarah Bernhardt visited my

and she seemed pleased. AS she was
going out she took hold of my pencil
and asked me something in French
which 1 did not understand. Seeing
that 1 had failed to catch her meaning
she looked about on the counters, then,
quick as flash, she took up volume
of one of the very best sets OF Scott,
bound in tree calf, opened it at the
very center, wrote something quickly
calmly tore ont the leaf, handed 1t to
me, smiled and went out" The as
founded bookseller looked at the leaf
and discovered that Sarah had written

In Burmese schools making the lads
shout is the approved method of ele-

he is silent he is certain to- be schem-
