 Stock takiug has been quite the or der of the day with our merchants last and this week.
 On Thursday evening, Apostles H J. Grant and Rudger Clawson. delivered some excellent discourses in the Edgar school-house. They came up from St. Johns that day accompanied by Mrs. Grant, Pres. and Mrs. D. K. Udall, Presidents Freeman and Gibbons.
 A joyous time was spent Friday e. vening. by large number of Eaear's Elite at the home of Mrs. s. H. Crosby, who had gathered to show the esteem they feel for her veteran father, who had reached his Seventy-seventh birth day.

 According to tradition, of New En. glsnder's, last Friday was Badger day and most of it was bright and clear. no doubt his badgershlp "saw his shadow and has returned to winter quarters for another forty days; time for snows to prevail, which they surely are doing 10 day. And while the severity reddens the pace, it also shortens 1t. and sage heads declare this to be the very kind of storm to fill the mountain ravinee. thereby insuring plenty of water which our valley so much needs. The storm has brought numbers of the men in from the reservoirs, where they have been Iaboring for some time.

B0LIvIA'S QUININE.
for the Market - How It Is Gathered.

The quinine plantations, or quinales, Hs they are called, which have been started in this country by the Germans, are usually found on rough and broken mountain sides and at attitudes of 5000 or 4,0o0 feet above the sea, The trees will grow st an elevation of 5000 feet, but they flourish best at about 1000, for they require great deal of sun, rain and wind to reach perfection.
 Most of the groves have been raised from the seed, which is gathered in the early summer months and planted in hothouses. When the plants are about six inches high they are transplanted upon the hillsides, which have been cleared of underbrush and plowed up beforehand, so that the young roots can secure the benefit of all the mois- ture and plant food in the soil and the heat of the sun. For shelter they are partially covered with twigs, straw or other light stuff, which also serves to keep the moisture and heat in the ground. After about two years this shelter is raked off, the plants are care fully inspected and those which are not promising are replaced by new ones, The ground around them is kept clear of weeds and the young trees are care fully trimmed twice year. In five or six years the tree will have reached a height of 12 or 14 feet and it's trunk will be straight and slender, with di- ameter of about six inches. It resem- bles the orange tree in size and shape and the peculiar gloss of its leaves.
 Two or three times a year three or four strips of bark about two inches wide and from two to eight feet long are cut from the trunk and thrown up- on a paved yard to dry, where, as the moisture evaporates, they curl up like cinnamon. Within year or so nature replaces the bark that has thus been stripped off and the tree is stripped again in other places. As 1t grows older smaller strips can be taken from the stronger branches, and mature tree will produce an annual average of about four pounds of bark.
 The bark dries in a few days and is packed for shipment in rawhide bales. The most of it is shipped from Africa and Mollendo.-Chicago Record.

She was fifty seven years of ago. and was the mother ot thirteen children, seven of whom survive her.

PHILIPPINE DOGS.
WAen There Was Any Firing @oing on They Made Themselves
 Scarce.

Those who saw the soldiers Mascotl under fire in the Santiago campaign were pretty we'll convinced that an ami nal does not know when it is unde, fire, and is much more afraid of tho guns discharged by its friends than oi those discharged by the enemy. The animals in the coast villages which were bombarded by the American feet did not take to flight with the inhab itants, but remained quite uneoncerned unless a missile fell in their immediate neighborhood.
 However, story altogether different is told of some of the dogs in the Phil. ippine villages. The trustworthy cor. respondent of the Record says that the Philippine dogs are invariably long and white, with ears pointed like those of a fox They are always hungry, and have no objection to inhsbiting the Ameri. can camps.
 On the day of the fight between the American and Filipino armies at Bag. bag the signal corps men were engaged in stringing telegraph wires along the railroad track, in order that the com. manding general might be informed of the progress of the battle Not a gun had yet been fired. Suddenly white native dog went fitting swiftly through the grass at the side of the railroad. The signal men called to it; it paid no attention, but kept or southward, get ting out of range as fast as its legs could carry it.
 Presently a shot was heard, and in a few minutes the fusillade became gen. eral. More dogs now came rushing past, their noses to the ground. Bull lets raised the dust in front of them and cut the bamboos above them. They could not run faster, and they dared not stop. They were getting out of the fight as fast as they could, and were all going in the right way.
 One of them was wiser than the rest. With astonishing intelligence he sought the deepest part of the ditch, covered from the fire on one side by the high enbankment and protected on the oth- CT by grass-covered mound. He lay so still that the soldiers thought he was dead, as they passed by in 8 crouch ing attitude on account of the flying bullets.
 The correspondent who tells the story looked closely at the dog'and saw that his eyes were wide open. The corre- spondent spoke to him, as if threaten ing to drive him on, but the look which came into the dogs eyes asked so plain ly to be let alone that the man could do no less than to respect the appeal.
 The dog was left behind. He saw the charge of the Kansas volunteers, but he did not budge as they went by him. He heard the shrapnel explode and the bullets cut the air, but he seemed to know that he was safe in the ditch, and he had no notion of moving to get bet ter view.
 At night, after the shooting was ever, he came to the camp timidly. Some one threw him piece of meat. He grew braver and followed the Americans to Calumpit; but during the ght there he disappeared, and only showed himself again after the shooting was over. He is clever dog, but, like some of the natives, he mo quiere mucho boom boom"-he does not care for shooting. -Chica0O Record

There is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlafn's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it favoTite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, pre- venting pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thou sands of eases without q single fail ure SO far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack.

WORK OF VISITING NURSES
the City and Teach Principles 0f Health.

ITO take care of the sick poor and of those who can pay but little for the service of nurse, to teach poor people the importance of cleanliness and how to care for their sick, how to make their homes habitable by good ventilation, how to allow the health-giving rays of the sun to enter in through washed window panes, thus bringing light and sunshine to suffering souls cast down by sorrow and disease" This is the aim of one of the most benevolent chari- ti-7, the Visiting Nurse Association of Chicago, and this is what is accom- plished by it's dozen nurses under the direction of the board of 32 of Chicago's most influential and intelligent women, of which Mrs. James L. Houghteling is president.
 If the walls of their office, 907 Masonic Temple, could speak they could tell stirring tales of hundreds of homes in- to which the nurses have gone, trans forming dirt and disease into cleanli- ness and health; of hundreds of bread. winners in the stock yards district whose lives have been preserved by the patient care of the nurses, of 25 sick women and children in the Hull house district who have been visited and cared for by one nurse alone day, and, more thrilling and pathetic still, of scores of poor incurables who have been refused admission to the hospitals, whose tedi- ous hours have been frightened by the cheering voice of the nurse. and whose pain has been lessened by the medicine she always carries with her-neither nationality nor religion being regarded.
 The directors are obliged to devote much time and do careful planning to meet these many cries from all parts of the city. They have received constant and substantial assistance from many of our weaIthiest citizens and from numerous clubs and circles. Each year the work grows, as it's possibilities are infinite, and this season an effort is be- ing made to bring the needs of poor and suffering women more prominently be- fore the eyes of their more fortunate sisters.-Chicago Chronicle.
