JAMES X. MOORE.


In loving remembrance OF James X. Moore,
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Moore,
II Cherry Hill, who died Saturday, January
IS. 1900.
Our hearts are sad dear Jimmie,
Your mothers heart and mine
We long to be with Jimmie
In a brighter, fairer cline.
Your little couch is empty,
No more therein you'll sleep;
You are with your beloved Saviour,
And we are left to weep.
It's not because you are with Him
Whi' h causes all our grief,
But o sweet Angel Jimmie,
These tears bring sweet relief
You suffered here our precious,
Till Christ in mercy came,
And bore your spirit to glory,
Oh bless His holy name
But peace will come sweet Jimmie,
Peace to our bursting heart,
Now even while Its throbbipgs
Seem sundering 1t apart.
TITS true. deaths kiss fell coldly
Upon our darling's brow;
But DER our pathway daily,
Another Angel watches now.

its comparatively brief residences on

But three years later the tribe was

of the survivors were opened to the
impotence of their idol. they lost faith
in its divinity and soon parted with it
for cash.
Its fate was identical with that of a

A E!aster Of silence.

Among the few who have a perfect
genius for silence is a certain we'll
known artist whose reticence is the
amusement and wonder Of all who
know him.
"A friend who had dropped into his
studio one day was vainly endeavoring
to draw Mr.. ri. into conversation, when
the artists brother appeared in the
doorway.
"Hello. Toni" said the brother.
Hello. John" returned Tom, looking
up from his easel with a smile.
John wandered about the room for Is
minutes. turned over his brothers lat
est work and then, going toward the
door, stopped long enough to say.
well. goodby, Tom"
"Goodby. John" was the hearty re-
joinder.
Tom painted on for some minutes,
and then in an unwonted burst of conf
dence he said warmly to his amused
friend:

Shot ont OF Turn.

A former member Of the Gordon
highlanders relates the following anec-
dote in connection with one of the
Gordons who fought in the Anglo-Boer
war of 1851: Just befYe the battle of
Laingsnek the highlanders and a force
of the Beers were lying under cover
opposite each other. The highlanders
had been ordered to remain still and
hold theif h,e. Presumably the Beers
had received similar commands, for,
with the exception of one burgher and
one Gordon. who could not refrain
from taking pot shots at so much of
each other as they could descry,. the
men on both sides We're silent.
For some time the Boer and the high
lander referred to conducted q duel.
First the Boer would bob up from be-
hind his shelter, fire at the highlander's
cover and drop out of sight. The high
lander would jump up. reply and then
hurriedly hide himself. About 20 shots
had been exchanged in that way when
an exclamation of pain burst from the
lips of the. highlander. His left hand
had been shattered by one of the
Beers bullets.

Il Word
to Doctors

We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon-
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri-
ous to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying a liniment that softens and re-
lakes the ov~er-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, COM
bining the ingredients in q manner
hitherto unknown, and call it

one Thing aud Another

1t is reported that 1000 families will
be brought into Colorado this spring to
engage in sugar beet growing.
Conclusions from experiment at the
Illinois station are that where there is
n sutiiciency of moisture in the early
part of the season and where farm
practice must tend toward early
warmth in the seed bed. listing corn is
not advisable.
From experiment the Kansas station
arrives at the conclusion that the feed
ing value of Kafiir corn stover is fully
equal TO that of corn slower, il not
greater.
Coal oil is said to be sure death to
every hog louise it touches, but it does
not always kill he eggs and must be
used with caution to prevent clustering
the skin of the hog.
A Kansas notion is to mix sorghum
with Kaffir corn for feeding. The lat
ter is dry and seems to counterfeit the
tendency of the sorghum to cause
bloat. A Colorado farmer advises dry
alfalfa in the morning before turning
on grass as a guard against wet grass
bloat.

Regulating the Hotbed.

The most common danger in growing
plants in hotbeds is that they will
clamp Off or wilt when exposed to
sudden changes of temperature. Hence
having it too hot when the outside
weather is cold is more dangerous than
to keep 1T at 40 to so degrees, which is
sufficient to insure against freezing. 1t
does not require absolute freezing to
kill most plants that have been grown
under very high temperature. Hence
on sunny DAYS the sash should be rails

some time before the plants are to be
set in open ground. But. considering
the danger of ''damping off" OF dying
from sudden chill in the hotbed. this

more hardy had better be continued

When the Woodchuck Digs No More.
Here is the way a Rural New Yorker
correspondent would kill woodchucks:

vial full or half full of fine powder; in
sert one yard of fuse. cork and tie the
vial to the end of a flexible stick first

off the fuse before or after covering,
and wise woodchuck will dig no more
