Highway of Prosperity.


some have argued. They have been
the birthplace Of civilization. In them
popular liberty has lifted it's voice.
Witness Genoa and Pisa and Venice.
After the death of Alexander the Great
among his papers were found extensive
rope. some to be built in Asia. The
cities in Europe were to be occupied
by Asiatics; the cities in Asia were to
be occupied, according to his plan, by
Europeans, and 50 there should be a
commingling and a fraternity and a
kindness and a good will between the
continents and between the cities. So
there always ought to be. The strang-
est thing in my comprehension is that
there should be chickering's and rival
ries among our American cities. New
York must stop cariCaturing Philadel-
phia, and Philadelphia must stop pick
ing at New York. and certainly the
continent is large enough for St Paul
and Minneapolis. What is good for
one city is good fJr all the cities. Here
is the great highway of our national
prosperity. Oh that highway of ma
tional prosperity walk the cities.
A city with large forehead and great
brain-that Is Boston; a city with de-
is Philadelphia; city with its pocket
full OF change-that is New York; two
cities going with rush that astounds
the continent-they are st. Louis and
Chicago; a city that takes its wife and
children along with it-that Is Brook
Ign. Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburg,
all the cities of the north and all the
cities of the south. some distinguished
for one thing. some for another, one
for professional ability. another for
affiuence, another for fashion, but not
one to be spared. What advantages one
advantages all. What damages Boston
Common damages Washington square.
Laurel Hill, Mount Auburn, Greenwood,
weep over the same grief. The statue
of Benjamin Franklin in New York
Everett in Boston. All the cities a
| confraternity. | cannot understand
how there should go on chickering's and
rivalries. l plead for higher style
OF brotherhood or sisterhood among
the cities.
| Important Lessons.
But while there are great differences
in some respects have to tell you that
all cities impress upon me and ought
to impress upon you three or four very
important lessons. all of them agree
ing in the same thing. 1t does not
make any difference in what part of
the country we walk the streets OF a
great city there is one lesson l think
which ought to strike every intelligent
Christian man. and that is that the
world is scene of toll and struggle.

HOiiowness of Society.

Again. in all these cities l am i'm
pressed with the fact that life Is full
of pretension and sham. What sub
terfuge, what double dealing, what
two facedness! Do all people who wish
you good morning really hope for you
happy day? Do all the people who
shake hands love each other? Are all
those anxious about your health who
inquire concerning it? Do all want to
see you who ask you to call? Does
all the world know half as much as it
pretends to know? Is there not many
wretched stock of goods with a bril-
liant store window? Passing up and
down the streets to your business and
your work, are you not impressed with
the fact that society is hollow and that
there are subterfuges and pretensions?
oh, how many there are who swagger
and strut and how few people who
are natural and walk? While tops
shipper and fools smoker and simple
tons giggle. how few people are nat
ural and laugh! say these things
not to create in you incredulity or mis-
anthrophy. nor do forget there are
thousands of people a great deal bet

Good Work by Travelling Man

A travelling man. Mr.. Julius c. Meyer,
of 175 Fairlawn street. Cleveland. has
cured number OF his friends OF stom-
ach troubles, dyspepsia, bowel com
plants, etc. by urging the use of
Grapc-Nuts breakfast food. He says:
"a business man. n friend of mine.
was so run down that he left his busi-
ness several months because he could
not eat enough to supply the strength
required TO work. After spending hun
dreds of dollars, in journeys to mineral
springs for baths. in medicines. attend
ants, etc., without success recon-
mended Grape Nuts food and at the
end of thirty days he told me he never
enjoyed better appetite, was never
more energetic or felt more like work
than then. This change came around
entirely by reason of his leaving off the
ordinary food and using principally
Grape-Nuts at his meals. He said he
would not be without the food at a dol
lar Il pound.
"A lady friend Of my wife was suffer
ing so with dyspepsia that she was
compelled 10 give up her work, as no
food would stay on her stomach for five
minutes. The doctors told her there
was no hope for her ever enjoying food
of any kind. She started in on Grape
Nuts. and used nothing, else for about
three months. when she was completely
ness. She takes Grape-Nuts with her
every day. She said To my wife: Had
it not been for you and Grape-Nuts
surely would have died. l shall never
forget your kindness to me-.
In my own family we have used the
food for about n year constantly, and
have all enjoyed better health since its
introduction. 1t has done us more good
than we ever expected to get from a
food"
There Is a deep. underlying reason
why GrapeNuts food cures people OF
dyspepsia, and builds them up into a
fine condition of health and strength.
Certain principles are distracted from
the grains and made up into the food
known as Grape Nuts. producing a
powerful. concentrated food that gives
certain and we'll defined results. The
proof Is in the eating. There are hun
dreds of thousands of people that can
give testimony regarding the strength
ening properties Of this famous food,

Poultry as a Farm Crop.

If any farmer can make his farm
pay profit OF $50 per acre he will do
more than can be claimed by the ma
iority of his neighbors, and yet this
would not be too large figure to
credit to the hens that could be placed
on an acre, and the ground could, at
the same time, be made to produce an
excellent crop of fruit, for both the
poultry and the fruit would be bene-
hted by the combination.
An acre in grass ought to give
ample forage for at least 100 hens in
summer, and they would not require
an awful lot of extra food from the
barn, so the eggs would be practically
clear profit. and if each of these hens
couldn't turn out clear profit of so
cents at the end of the summers pas
turage we are awfplly mistaken. The

Fo.s of civ Trees.

The worst foes of city trees are
storms, pavements and nocturnal IL
Elimination. Subterranean steam is
also deadly. As to the bad effect of
the electric lights there are least q
couple of large trees in City Hall Park
to-day to which the light is slowly
but surely proving fatal. Insomnia
is their trouble.
The death of other trees can be re-
ferred to Illuminating gas, which es-
capes into the soil and asphyxiates
the roots. The symtoms of gas-poison-
ing in trees are the sudden falling of
the leaves and the deadened appear
ance of the bark. In mild cases the
effect shows upon only one side of the
tree. which, nevertheless, seldom
survives. Death by gas may occur to
trees q hundred feet from a main.
Despite these difficulties property
owners are beginning to appreciate that
trees have their place in the city no
less than in the country, both for or
nament and shade; and it is probable
that the metropolis of the future will
be better shaded than it is now, even
if its former glories in this regard can
never be restored.-New York Post.

To Purify a Cistern.

Should the water in your cistern
become tainted from some unac count
able cause and have an unpleasant
odor, it may be purified either by
forcing air into it by stirring it we'll,
or be adding mixture of equal par !,
of alum and borax at the rate of about
three ounces to the barrel. To make
trebly sure combine these three
methods. If the cistern can be
emptied without inconvenience, as in
the-time of drought, give the sides as
well as the bottom thorough scrap
ing, being careful to remove every
thing collected Wet the whole place,
then lower an old iron pot full of live
Goals, upon which, when upon the
bottom, drop two rthree tablespoon
fuls of sulphur. You must not be
in the cistern at the time. Close the
place for day and air it for a night
before going in again. If the walls
can be made fairly dry before rain
comes, whitewash them, using quick
lime fresh from the kiln, and apply
ing while it is still hot. The sulphur
fumes and the whitewash so made and
spilled will act as germicides and
fungicides and will make the place
pure and sweet. Always keep the els
tern clean.

FOR THE HOUSEWIVES.
Cushion Cover. for the summer.

For cheap covers to summer sofa
cushions the new bandannas '.from
India" will recommend themselves.
These novel and modish looking
squares they measure yard and o
quarter) make up very effectively. A
single square is large enough to sup
ply cover for cushion. One cuts
right through the square the entire
length, and this piece cut out is folded
once for the cushion proper. AS you
see, it forms both the back and the
front.
The strips along the sides are left
and from these the ruffle is formed.
Oriental colors in vivid or sombre
schemes characterize these squares.
And the best of them is that while
they are attractive they are so cheap

Fighting Hawks and Crows.

In my town, which produces an
nually from 30, 900 to 40, 600 chicks, a
bounty of 25 cents per head is paid
for hen and chicken hawks, writes
P. H. Wilbour of Rhode Island, in
New England Homestead. The same
sum is paid for crows per head, they
being nearly as inimical if not equally
so to the career of the chicken. This
bounty is usually voted at the town
meeting. At times it had been left
for the town council to atfix the sum,
never to my knowledge being more
than % cents per head, and some
years lesser sum.
Various devices to prevent the near
approach of the above mentioned
birds are noticed about here, among
which may be mentioned the small
windmill SO arranged that at each
revolution rapid and noisy clapping
is produced. Another arrangement
quite generally in vogue is to erect
long poles about the chicken yard, a
stout cord extending from pole to pole
at top, to which cord is appended
multi-colored strips of cloth. This
method, while it prominently adver-
tises the location of the tender NOR
sci, is supposed to intimidate its wary
foe

Experience has shown that an ele.

The soil will respond in large

A great many are claiming that mice

the reason of this is the constant de-
