Mr.. Major. the famous cement man Of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that 1t Is many hundred per cent better
than other cements. for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know Why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufacrureTs do not use them. because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits Mr.
Major tells Us that one Of the elements Of his
cement costs S3-75 pound. and another costs
S2.65 a gallon. while large share Of the so
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
nc acid, and, In some cases, altered slightly in
color and odor by the addition Of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle. and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute yOu~can depend upon
II that his only object Is to make larger profit.
The profit Majors cement Is as much as
this is dOubly true in view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit Of Hr. Maj
OF advertising, which nov amounts 70 over
S5t0O month. throughout the country. Estab-
hshed in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
OH-hand advice from a druggist.
If you are at all handy land you viii be likely
to md that you are a good deal more 50 than
you Imaglnel you can repair your 70 bier boots
and family shoes, aud any other rubber and
leather articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
and Majors Leather Cement.
And you VIII be surprised at how many dol
lars year you viii thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, DC VIII be
forwarded BY mail; either kind, free Of postage.

IT WAS A SUDDEN AWAKENING
A Telegraph Operator in Reminiscent
Mood Tells Of an Experience
in the Country.
Detroit Free Press.l

"a good many years ago, when was
a cub" said the old operator who was
10 a reminiscent mood, ST was sent out
to relieve an operator in a little country
town. On the way there I noticed at a
town about ten miles from where 1 was
going that the Office was in charge of a
girl operator. was a gay spark those
days and I Immediately made up my
mind to get acquainted at once. As
soon as I arrived at the Office was to
take charge Of I lost no time in calling
her up, and was soon getting on fam
ously. Inside Of a week I sent her q
box Of candy AMI was thanked so
sweetIy for it over the wire that i'm
mediately bought another box Of more
expensive candy and sent that to her.
Luckily for me there was nothing to do
but to report a train now and then, so
I managed to get along without being
called down by the train dispatcher, for
I spent most Of my time sending sweet
words over the wire to my eharmer.
@One Sunday I made up my mind to
give uCE q CdAAs anu dSho4 Tie us
patcher for permission to go down
there, but got a point blank refusal.
Nothing daunted, figured out that I
could slip down there between trains
and no one would be the wiser. Secur-
ing handcar from the section boss, I
proceeded to pump it down to where
my charmer lived. 1t was down grade
so it was not a difficult matter, and I
soon arrived at my destination. What
saw when I entered the Office with
wildly beating heart caused my hair to
curl. Instead Of my golden haired
beauty, there sat a red headed, cross
eyed cub smoking a cigarette and eat
ing candy out Of a box that had sent
on the day before. By cautious inquiry
and not revealing my own identity, I
learned that the girl had been trans
ferred to another Office two days after
1 had seen her, and that I had been
pouring my sweet things into the ear
Of that red headed cub, whose appetite
for candy was something enormous.
I pumped that handcar back up grade
for ten miles, and had plenty Of time
TO think it over
81 met the girl afterWard and she is
now my wife, but she doesn't know
anything about the time and money I
wasted on that red headed cub"

LARGEST OF ALL BIRDS.
why There Is Excitement Over Some
Feathers Recently Sent to
Washington
Boston Evening Transcript

Boston Evening transcript.
WashingtOn-Government natural
lists are much excited over the arrival
at the National museum of some feath-
ers of that wonderful bird, the mOa,
which are the first ever discovered.
When it is considered that this fowl
was probably the largest bird that ever
existed, attaining a height Of IA feet
and a weight of 1000 pounds, one reali-
zes in some degree the interest that
must attach to such a Sind" For the
moa became extinct a long time ago
some authorities say as much as 500
years ago, though there is no absolute
certainty on that point-snd, mas
much as no feathered creature resem-
bling it seems ever to have lived in the
world before or since, any facts that
throw light upon its history are eagerly
sought.
The reason Why the feathers in ques-
ton are known positively to be those
of a moa is that they were found at
tached to a piece Of skin which still
hung to some bones that were readily
recognizable as having belonged to a
moa. They were discovered in a cave
and Just how the bones got there is not
wholly obvious, though it was probably
through human agency. In New Zea-
land, whence the feathers came, large
quantities of mos bones have been dug

THE Goebel corruption fluid is work
ing admirably. Since its coming four
men have been placed in bars, all Of
whom are perfectly innocent OF the
charge. The subsidized and Goebel-
lied Couier.Journal and Times assert
ed all the while that they knew the
man that killed Goebel and had HIM
"spotted," but the arrest was not made
until the corruption fund was secured.
Every man in Kentucky who opposed
and defed the Goebel conspiracy is in
danger of having the 100000 cor
ruption fund applied to him. Doubt
less that monument fund, that the
good ladies are labOring for, will be
called into play as soon as the original
corruption fund has been gObbled up.

FL per cent. On March Ist, 1899. It
was estimated that 40 per cent. OF the
crop of the previous year was so held
The average price on March Ist is
estimated at 67c. per bushel for No. q
wheat. &c. per bushel below the price
one year ago.
CORN.
It is estimated that 81 per cent. OF
the corn crop OF 1899 was in the hands
of farmers on March Ist. This is 10
per cent. less than the stock Of old
corn so hel one year ago.
LIVE STOCK.
Live stock is below the average
conditisn, as follows: Horses, ga;
Cattle, 90; Sheep, ga and Hogs, 81.
In many counties the corn crop Of
1899 was practically a failure and It
has been necessary to import corn to
supply the deficiency. The severe
weather during February has made
heavy drains on supply of hay and
other roughage and an early grazing
season will be hailed with delight.
Cattle have wintered better than
any other class of stock. The ins
crease demand and better prices for
horses and a season of prosperity for
breeders OF these animals Is assured.
The cold, wet weather Of February
was unfsvorable to sheep espt cially,
and considerable losses, both Of old
sheep and spring lambs, are reported
Hogs are scarce and the number be
irg I'D tor market is far below the
normal. Thirty correspondents re
port hog cholera as against 90 who re-
port hogs free from disease.
Farm work is being greatly delayed
by unfavorable weather conditions.
Very few tobacco beds have been
sown to date.
There is nothing to indicate that
tnat the fruit buds have been unfavor
ably affected by the winter.
