HALF DEAD SOLDIER.
Returns All Broken Up to His Home
In south Dakota.

Bristol, So. Oak, March II, 1901
(SpeciaD.-Peter Behres says: "When
| returned from the war | found that
| was in a very critical condition.
My system was all run down, and l
gradually became worse, until 1 was
half dead with Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. My family wanted me to
consult a physician, but as 1 had
learned through several of my com
rades of the wonderful cures of
Dodd's Kidney Pills / determined to
give them a trial first"

the ripe old age of three score years
and ten. He continues: II am now
an old soldier, seventy years of age,

and all thanks for this is due to
Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 found after
having used the first few boxes that
my faith was not misplaced in them,
and in a very short while my kidneys
were doing the work required of
them and the bladder trouble was
soon eliminated. 1t was almost a
year before l was myself, but during
that time l used Dodd's Kidney Pills

Stable floors should have no space
beneath to fill up with filth. l prefer
to have the walk behind the cows paved
with blocks similar to the pavement
of city streets. 1t is not only very du-
rable when put down in clay, but is
also preferable to plank, or cement,
from the fact that cows never slip on
it in passing in or out of the stable,
which they very often do on floors
made of those substances. The plat
form on which cows stand is usually
made of plank, although some prefer
having that part of it at cows forefeet
and about two-thirds of way to gutter
composed of earth. 1t will usually be
better to have this platform slope
about two inches to the rear. and it
should be about six inches higher than

JOtS on Letter Writing.

1t is blessed thing to be able
to write, but it is wisdom to real.
ize how very important and alto
gether different is the written
from the spoken word.
Women write voluminously:
men with caution; young women,
especially those who are separat-
ed from their culture" often err
both in epistolary quantity and
quality.
Upon every dainty desk might
be the word"Caution. " In every
letter it is needed. There is no
implied distrust in being careful.
News of mutual friends should
be given with great care as to re-
liability. Friendship is often
shattered by mail.
The girl who writes a practical
business letter is as rare as a
hawless emerald-unless she is a
business woman, which is differ
ent-but every woman should
know how, and be able to help
her male relatives if required.
The postoffice authorities only
can estimate the carelessness of
women in sealing and addressing
letters. To permit ones cores
pondents to pay postage for ones
letters is not the right thing by
any means.

Butcherins the Family Pork.

Drive hogs the evening before
killing day into a small pen; give
no feed or water. After the
hanging pole, scalding barrel or
vat and scaffold have been placed
in shape and a kettle containing
thirty or more gallons of water
is heated to near the boiling point
if there are three men to do the
butchering, kill two or three pigs
at time by stunning them thor
oughly with the back of an axe or
light sledge-removed from the
pen, place them one at a time
squarely on the back, an attend
ant holding the fore legs in a nat
ural position don't pull the legs
back nor be in a hurry, as, if the
pig is well stunned, the blood col
lects near the heart). The shar-
pened knife is inserted carefully
so as to enter the vital place
through the small orifce (not
larger than a dollar), and if done
right will prevent any congulation
of blood on the shoulders and the
chime, which prevents perfect
curing of the meat. While the
pigs are bleeding and being
brought to the barrel don't drag
or handle before dead as it causes
the skin to get red), remove five
buckets of boiling water to a five
gallon barrel; add one and one
third buckets of cold water and
pint of unleached ashes. Scald
the rear of the carcass until hair
slips on legs; while head is scald-
ing, place second pig crosswise
on scaffold near the barrel, which
answers as roller to pull first
pig out of barrel. Proceed with
second pig by placing head in
first; for third pig remove about
three gallons from barrel and
add from kettle same quantity of
boiling water, water, which will
raise temperature just right.
While first two or three pigs are
being scraped, hung and thor
oughly washed with hot and then
cold water, the water must be re-
moved from the barrel to heater,
when you proceed to slay the
next lot.

Power and Nose.

A large nose is always an unfail-
ing sign of decided character. 1t
belongs to the man of action, quick
to see and to seize opportunity. A
small nose indicates a passive ma
ture, one less apt to act, although
he may feel as deeply. He will
have many theories, while the pos
SCISSOR of large nose will have
deeds to show. Persons with small
noses are most loving and sympa-
thizing, but their friendship is not
the active kind.
A nose with the tip slightly tilted
is the sign Of the heartless flirt. A
long nose shows dignity and repose.
A short nose, pugnacity and a love
of gayety. An arched nose-one
projecting at the bridge-shows
thought. A straight nose shows an
inclination toward serious subjects.
A nose that turns up slightly indi-
Gates eloquence, wit and imagina-
tion. If turned up much, it shows
egotism and love of luxury. A nose
that slopes out directly from the
forehead, that shows no indenting
between the eyes, indicates power.
If the nose is indented deeply at the
Ioot, the subject will be weak and
vacillating. A nose that turns
down signifies that the possessor is
miserly and sarcastic. - Ladies'

Where Women are Whipped.

In Russia wives are very much
in subsection to their husband.
In circulated book written by
the Russian priest, Pope Sylves-
ter, who lived in the sixteenth
century, corporal punishment is
advocated, not only on account Of
its religious propriety, but also
as of benefit to their health.
What the women may think of
tits another matter, but certainly
the Russian branch of the Greek
Church seems to think that if you
spare the rod you spoil tho wife.
Until recent years a rod or whip
has formed part of the BRIDES
trousseau, and in some districts
her first wilely duty was to hum
bly, remove her husbands boots,
in one of which she found a whip.
A custom which obtained in
other parts of the country was
for the bridegroom to give the
bride a light blow as he took her
from her fathers house, saying;
Snow you must forget the ways
of your own family and learn
those of mine.

Cultured Chlnamsn Made Him Lose
His Sense OF Superiority.

A writer in London NJ. A. P. tells
Of meeting Sir Chi Chen, afterward
the Chinese ambassador to London,
in Tientsin when the latter was
plain Mr.. Lo Feng Luh, an under
secretary of state in the encourage
of the viceroy of the province, Ii
Hung Chang. "My own mission
was to the Bismarck of China as
the one statesman in faroff Cathay
was known at the time, which was
before the fall" says the writer,
"and Mr.. Lo Feng Luh had been
deputized to serve me in the double
capacity of cicerone and inter
prefer.
1--WE sat slipping tea in the long
wait which in Chinese court life fol-
lows the announcement of your
name and prccedes your reception,
and is supposed to deepen your re-
spect for the great man of whom
you have sought an audience and to
deaden in yourself any lingering
consciousness of British superiority.
Then it was that Mr.. Lo Feng Luh
suddenly opened up his battery of
questions and criticism upon the
leading men of letters, philosophers
and theologians Of Europe. His in
quiries were not, indeed, Of the
alumni Of one nation, but of many,
and when he had done with Spen-
Ger, Huxley, Darwin, the Eliza
bethan poets, the theology of Dol
linger, the writing of Comte, the
plays of Moliere, he waited his way
to America and was promptly at
home with Oliver Wendell Holmes,
James Russell Lowell and the funny
stories of Mr.. Chauncey Depew."

Maud'S Mistake.

Maud Muller on a summers day
Dropped her rake and ran away.
With an agent for patent churn,
Who had a million-yet to earn.
The village squire made the splice;
"Gee." said Maudie, "ain't it nice!''
But the churn fal1er soon did tire
OF Maudie, which aroused her ire;
And when she saw that she was sit, -
She gamely dropped the job and quit.
The peddler had her savings spent,
So back to the bayfield, Maudie went,
A sad grasswidow; and she's to-day
With the same old rake making hay.

The Saruasso Sea,

The Sargasso sea is a region in
the Atlantic about midway between
southern Europe and America, ex-
tending from 2l to 23 degrees north
latitude and between 30 and 10 de-
grees west longitude. 1t derived its
name from a Portuguese word sig
nifying a grape, and was so called
because the seaweeds characteristic
of the region bear on their branches
small air cells, which in shape are
not unlike the grape clusters. The
weeds themselves are among the
most peculiar of vegetable produc-
tions, since they have no roots nor
any signs of fructifcation and are
propagated by division. They float
in the water, sometimes in dense
masses extending for miles.
This portion of the Atlantic is a
great eddy, little affected by the
currents which surround it on every
side, and the stiffness Of the water,
it is supposed, has contributed to
the development of the weeds in the
vast quantities in which they are
found. The floating masses were
noticed by Columbus and his men,
to whom they were source of un-
easiness, as the sailors supposed
they indicated shallow water. De-
tached masses of the weed are often
seen in the gulf stream, and the
long, yellow lines of floating weed
are sure indication Of its close
proximity.

Ask yourselfif it is a tangible
danger you fear, or If it is simply
night itself, Sleep in either case
with a low shaded light in your
room. Satisfy your mind that
you have no reason TO be afraid,
by that investigation of closets
and the limbo under the bed at
which the brave are inclined TO
laugh. Exert your will to con-
quer this bondage, aud also say
your prayers and take comfort
in knowing that God hears you.
The darkness and the light are
both alike to him. Margaret e.
