THE NEW CENTURY FOR GOD.
Midnight services to be Held for its
Solemn Conservation to
His Service

> Washington, Dec. 3.-Archbishop
Martinelli, the apostolic delegate, will
participate at services to be held at
St. Patrick's church, in this city, at
midnight on December 81, to conse
crate the new century to God.
A year ago the pope gave a special
permission, with a view to WIDE exer-
else of the privilege, to sing a solemn
mass at midnight of December 81 of
last year, to ~consecrate the closing
year of the century, and to repeat II
on December 81 next, at the same
hour, for consecrating the entire
new century. The ceremony, like that
of a year ago, is expected to be an
unusually brilliant one, and most OF
the bishops throughout the country
probably viii hold similar solemn
s~ervices.

Demrness Cannot Re Cnred

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you nave a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
canno be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Mrs. OIberg, a Prominent Minnesota
Lady. Tells a Remarkable
Story.

Albert Lea, Mimi, Dec. 3, 1900 (Spe-
ciaD.-There are few men and women
in this state or indeed in the whole
northwest, who have not heard, or do
not know personally Mrs. Henriette C.
Olberg of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, and Superintendent of Flax
Exhibit at the International EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. Mrs.
OIberg is Secretary of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor of the "Distaf."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous. and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties so taxed my strength,
that I thought I would have to give
them up. Through the continual
change of food and irregular meal
hours, and a poor quality of water, I
lost my appetite, and became wakeful
and nervous in the extreme. My Kid
neys refused to perform their usual
duties. One of my assistants advised
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent
for a box. I am pleased to say that I
derived immediate and permanent
benefit. / used three boxes, and feel
ten years younger.

cacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am al

favor.

TEACH CALVES TO LEAD.
Dr.. GaIen Wilson Relates an Incident
C~OnaHininE a Lesson for Every
Dairynan

Did you ever think what it would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any COW on your
place and lead her off like a horse?
DR.. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing a man driving a cow along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, fretting. using harsh language
and casting a stone at her occasion
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
lessons I had in 'eow culture
My good old ''pater'' kept a dairy
of ten COWS always, and raised the
cows himself. When a young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves 10 be led. 1t was only fun
for me and / thought him very lib
eral. Later, I saw him sell a cow to
a neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that "were not the cow so
nice to be led 1 should charge you
but S35: but now she is worth all i
ask you, and for that reason"
knowing that I had taught the cow
to be led and received only a dollar
for the service, I thought at the time
that 'my parent on my fathers side"
as Artemus Ward said. had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences. it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of a good
cow to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven or
led singly sometimes. somewhere.
Teach the calf TO be led and when
she's a cow she will not depart from
the early TEACHING

CENTURY WATCH MEETINGS.
Numerous ~eIeEyraIns lad
Letters.

Washington, Dec 3.-Miss Clara
Barton has received many kilograms
and letters asking about the twenti-
eth century watch meetings, and asks
the press TO make 1T known that, while
the movement is under her guidance
and control, all the details are com
mitted to the New York Office of the
Red Cross in the st. James building,
New York city.
Many towns seem TO be waiting for
special authorization to hold these
meetings, whereas none is necessary.
All that any church, lodge, military
company or school of any kind needs
to do is to organize its own watch
meeting.

Sweet potatoes give fair profits when

hills of sweet potatoes this a

such excellence only in some of the
hills. yet the yields show what is pos

not degenerate into the negligee that
can be worn in bed or dressing room
only. The tasteful May Manton mod
el shown is suited to flannel of various
weights and qualities, from the fine
French to the simple outing, and all
washable stuffs. AS illustrated, it is
made of the Scotch sort that contains
just enough cotton to allow Of wash
ing without harm, in cream white,
with stripes of blue, and is trimmed
with fancy blue braid about the seal

The jacket is fitted loosely at the
front, but is snug enough for neatness
and style. The backs are cut in
French style with curved seam at
the centre and are Joined to the fronts
by broad under-arm cores that are
shaped to give q graceful outline to
the figure. At the neck is a deep turn
over collar that can be worn with a
simple ribbon tie. The sleeves are
two scanned, snug without being tight,
and fare becomingly over the hands.
