an hour The rest had undoubtedly re-
GENERATED it. for it seemed to possess
double the force.
Positively, Jonas was in deplorable
condition; his hand throbbed IN a DIS
agreeable manner, his leg was swollen
and stiff and sore, and his teeth-well,
words are utterly inadequate to ex-
press the extreme pain they caused
him.
In his younger days he attended
church regularly and evinced consad-
cradle activity as a member; ano now
in his misery he remembered and re-
heated several Of his ole time prayers.
Their good effects, however, were de-
stroyed by the flow of stronger lam
guage that invariably succeeded them

Downing his greatcoat and muller
he proceeded to the barn. No sooner
had the outside door closed at his
heels. than Mrs. Pages white-robed
figure came gliding down the stairway.
With lamp in hand, she entered the
bedchamber. Disorder reigned su-
preme. Four medicine bottles, prom
inent among them the flask of liniment
which for once had not proved equal to
the emergency, two wet towels, basin
of water and bag of hops were strung
over the bureau. A couple of quilts
and pillow lay on the floor, while the
other bedclothes were rolled in ball
down by the footboard.
As Mrs. Page noted these particulars,
the stern lines around her eyes and
mouth relaxed; and look, in which
anxiety and compassion were blended
passed over her features.
Poor Jonas!" she murmured, audi

the value of sympathy?"
After dressing herself, she COM
menced restoring the room to rights
and had nearly succeeded when the
sound OF carriage wheels reached her
ears. and. glancing out, she perceived in
the hazy dusk of the early morning
that it was Jonas driving rapidly away
When he returned, some two hours

her husbands face wore a radically diff

the loss of his two front teeth was ac-

LILLIAN RUSSELL A CONVERT.
Announces to Her Friends That shs
Has Become a Faith Curist
After Much study.

After long and diligent study OF
the religion Lillian Russell has an
uounced to her friends that she is an
outand-out faith curist. She does not
subscribe to the doctrines of Mrs.
Eddy, of the Christian Science cult,
in their entirety, but so strongly 10
she convinced of the power of the mind
over the tendency of the body to be-
come disorderly that she is almost
hoping for severe attack OF illness
in order that she may give the the
DRY a test.
At the outset it may be said that
Miss Russell has never been seriously
i'll in her life and that her health at
the present time is so good that she
is almost ashamed Of herself. 1t Is
hard, indeed, for a woman to work as
many as two hours day on hot,
stuffy stage and be unable to produce
a single pain. Even ION days when
there is q matinee Miss Russell retains
her scandalous freedom from bodily
aches and pains.
81 have noticed, however" she said
the other day, "that when get head
aches am able to get rid of them
by simply concentrating my mind on
the proposition that have no head
ache.
"Of course I don't believe that could
wish myself a new arm should have
one cut off by q Broadway car, nor do
I believe that my mind would be strong
enough to equip me with new lung
should I fall a victim to the ravages
of consumption. do not go to those
lengths. But do say that we are too
prone to drug ourselves and that the
mind Is In such supreme control that
the ordinary ills of life can be cured
by thought concentration.
This is not q new belief with me"
continued Miss Russell. II have had
as much trouble as any woman, but
have found, all through my life, that
by persistently concentrating my mind
on the bright side Of dark situation
that every cloud has its silver lining,
you know-I have been able to live
quite placidly. If women could only
be brought to the realization of the
power of the mind we would have more
healthy and happy members of ouI
sex"
Miss Russell 10 not the only advocate
of the faith cure in the profession
Many actresses 60 to greater lengths
in their advocacy Of the cult than the
prima donna. But it is news at this
time that this beautiful woman, with
everything that a female heart could
beside Of her disposal, should come
out in advocacy of the theory of the
superiority Of the mind over matter.

One of the Ironies of War.

Capt. Lans, of The German navy,
who took such prominent part in the
eapture of the Taku forts, writes
home that the Germans captured at
that place II guns of various caliber
and much ammunition. These" de-
rlares Capt. Lans, fare the guns which
have killed and wounded so many OF
nv brave fellows, and which alas! like
almost all the ehemy's guns and am
munition, come from our native coun-
try. The guns are all modern quick
hrers from Krupp's."

ADVANTAGES of GirdIinT,

The object Of girdlng is to check the
flow of sap and to stimulate the forma-
ton of fruit buds. The nonfruiting
trees have a tendency to form teo many
wood buds, and this means too few fruit
buds. Pear and apple trees will endure
virdling to a really remarkable extent.
I have one apple tree that I have girdled
several times. At one girdling i re-
moved strip of bark four inches wide,
and the gap has been covered perfectly
by new bark. Pear trees that have
girdled show the same ability to re-
Mace bark.-Farmers Review.

A fine example of mans triumphs
over adverse natural conditions is to
be seen in the Sahara. That region

acres of it have already been made

A Difference in Results.

The value of a good cow compared
with a poor one may be shown by the
test made at the New Jersey expert
mental station. With milk at one cent
per pound the best cow gave a profit
of $49.75, while the poorest cow gave
a profit of only IS cents. With butter
at 20 cents pound the best COW gave a
profit of s46.64, while the poorest COW
gave a profit of only 1884 for one year
The COW, more than the food, pro-
duces the profit.

FACTS ABOUT sARDINEs.
The Greater Part of This Country's
Cons um n ION Now Packed Here

The Greater Part of This Country's
Consumption Now Packed Here.
Formerly the sardines consumed in
this country were all imported from
Frauce. Now about three-quarters of
the sardincs eaten in the United States
are put up here. the chief center of
the sardine industry in the United
States being the eastern coast OF
Maine. though some .,n,"dlnes are now
put up on the coast y, alifornia. The
packing of sardines in this country
was begun about 1856.
Thousands of people now find en-
ployment in one part and another of
the work in catching fish, in making
cans and in canning aud packing and
marketing and so on.
Sardines are put up In greater va
riety than formely. there being now
adays sardlnes packed in tomato
sauce, sardines in mustard. spiced sar-
dimes and so on. but the great bulk of
sardines, both imported and domestic.
are still put up in oil. Sardlnes are
put up also In greater variety OF
packages than formerly. there being,
for example. various sizes and shapes
of oval tins. and some Franch sar-
dimes are imported in glass, but as the
great bulk of all sardines are still put
up in oil. so the great bulk of them are
stlll put up In the familiar fat boxes.
the great majority Of these being OF
the sizes known as halves and quar-
ters and far the greater number of
these being In quarters. Sardines are
packed 100 tins In a case. and the con-
sumption OF sardines in this country
is roughly estimated at from 100000
to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods Of every descrip-
tion, sardines are cheaper now than
they formerly were. and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the import
ell. American sardines are now ex-
ported from this country to the West
indies and to South Amerlca.-New

general satisfaction.
DO you think the time will ever

II. A. Fritz, superintendent of the

Its got to come" was his quick
response, the forests and timberland
of this country will not last forever.
In the last 100 years the forests have
been wiped out rapidly. Before an

Barberton needs u new and larger

has been cramped for room for many
months, owing to the phcnominal in
crease in business.
The family residing in the rear of

With this added room, however, n

alone is argument enough for better

Mail is piled mp sometimes so that
the attaches Of the Office cannot get
