The Mysterious Sunday Disease.

Many people are seemingly well dur
ing the week, but afflicted with all
manner of ailments when Sunday comes
around, and on Monday they are all
well again. | really dread the ap-
proach of the Lords day, for with the
day there come to many of my flock
colds, sick headaches, pain in the side
and nausea, while numbers complain
of that languid feeling"
Sunday before last l spent really an
anxious day, for there happened to be
absent from the services quite num-
ber, for the best of reasons, of course
q rushing in the head, touch of sciat-
lea, cramps, toothache hardness Of
hearing, catarrh, torpid liver, infiam-
nation of the membranes, lumbago
and, worse than all, that tired feel
ing
Then, what greatly distressed me the
next day was that Mrs. Henry Van
Blarscom had issued invitations to an
Eat home" for that evening and the
few would respond, seeing many of her
invited guests had been absent from
the Sabbath services. Imagine, then, If
you can, my profound surprise to see
on that Monday evening so wholly un-
expected, SO general and complete re-
covery, and when | made inquiry con-
cerning the Sabbath ailments only two
were able to recall what had really
been the matter with them the day be-

IrreguIarity and Indigestion.

A common cause of indigestion Is
irregularity respecting the time of
meals. The human system seems to
form habits and to be in degree de-
pendent upon the performance of its
function in accordance with the habits
formed. In respect to digestion this Is
especially observable. If a meal is
taken at a regular hour, the stomach
becomes accustomed to receiving food
at that hour and is prepared for it.
If meals are taken irregulariy, the
stomach is taken by surprise, so to
speak, and is never in that state Of
readiness in which it should be for the
prompt and perfect performance of its
W ork.

DUKE OF MANCHE ESTER

LIVERPOOL, March 7.-On the ar
rival here Wednesday afternoon of the
White Sar steamer Oceanic from New
York, the Duse of Manchester, who
with his bride, was passenger on
board, was served with writ for an al
legged breach of promise at the instance
of Portia knight of London. Miss
Knight is an American, twenty-four
years old. She was on the stage in
New York for short time and has
been living privately in London for a
year. She referred a representative of
the Associated Press to her LAWYERS
The writ has been out for some time,
she said, and she did not known wheth-
er it would be served in America or
in England.
Miss Knights solicitors were seen
but they declined to give any details.
They confirmed the report tina. Miss
Knight has commenced action. Miss
Knights allegations are not yet OBJ
tainable, but it is evident she is in ear
nest and that the suit was brought
without any idea of gaining publicity.
She is about the same age as the Duke
of Manchester, perhaps a trife older.
She formerly lived in Salem, Oregon,
and is the daughter of a well-known
Congregational minister of that city.

The one species Of biting louise is
very common upon cattle and is easily
reco ynized and differentiated from the
SUCKING louise, as it is red, while the
other is blue. 1t is often called "the
little red louse," but although it is more
common than the sucking louise, does
not cause 30 much real dana e as it's
blue relative. The biting louise has a
pair of cutting and biting jaws and at
tacks the animal along the spine, hip,
rump and sometimes the head nd
neck Its body does not fill up with
blood as does that of the sucking louise,
but it leads to great deal Of discom-
fort where numerous. One notices the
presence of lice about this time of the
year and toward spring. The cattle
rub themselves on posts and fences
and often do so in such vigorous
manner as to scratch the skin, causing
it to bleed and become bare of hair.
Emaciation is then likely to follow, and
If the cattle be not relieved the owner
is a considerable loser from his feeding
operations.
When any of the above symptoms are
observed the cattle should be examined
for lice and it is best done after they
have stood in the sun for time, as the
louse comes toward the surface when
warm. If it is found, the building &C.
cupied by the cattle should be vacated,
then thoroughly cleansed and white
washed, adding quarter of pound of
chloride of lime to each pailful of lime
wash. The cattle should not be re-
turned to tie building before they have
been vigorously treated for lice with
I one Of the usual remedies. The Blu
reau of Animal Industry advises the
use of decoction of fish berries Coco
illus Indicus) Take half pound of
the berries for each animal, pound fine,
then add Two quarts of vinegar and set
on the stove to simmer for an hour.
Apply this thoroughly by rubbing it
into the hair of the affected parts. This
will not injure the skin or sicken the
animals and is said to remain long
enough to kill all the young lice as they
hatch out of the "nits. "-Farmer's
Review.

IN CHINA.

PEKIN, March 6.-The next general
meeting of the ministers Of the powers
will consider the protests of the Chi
nese plenipotentiaries regarding the
legation quarters now established in
Chinese public buildings. TIE British
and Russians have taken the board Of
work, board Of revenue and board of
ceremonials. The Italians have taken
the Emperor's personal temple OF
worship. Fire has destroyed the great
err part OF the temple of thousand
years, in the summer palace. Fortu-
natey the effigy of Buddha, weighing
six hundred tons, was not injured.
The Japanese troops are preparing
to leave in the afternoon on their way
to Taku. The river is now safely open
and there is no danger of another frost.
PEKIN, March 8.-The ministers
committee has completed its report,
and the general principle to be adopted
in the case OF private indemnities is
based upon laws in harmony with the
Roman and English systems. This
decision was not reached without con-
siderable discussion, some believing
that the claims of men of good reputa-
ton should be paid in full without fur
Their consideration. On the other hand
a case was mentioned where a man of
high repute claims $4,000 each for his
own, his wfe's and his daughters
nerves and S20,0C0 for property de-
stroyed, whereas it is known that the
latter estimate is more than thrice the
value of all.
Regarding indemnity for losses sue-
tanned by missionaries and native
Christians, Gen. Chaffee pointed out
that his sentiments were we'll known to
the American missionaries, that he was
opposed to extortion in every form and
that he favored strict justice in every
case; and that, therefore, he would
agree quickly to His Excellency's propo-
sition that the indemnities Sir Robert
Hart had mentioned should be settled
by the diplomats.

AGRICULTURAL.
Beware the Tree Peddler.

Farmers should load up their gun for
the 'grafter, who is said 10 be invsd-
ing this part Of the State, selling fruit
trees. He contracts with the farmer,
agreeing to receive his pay tor the trees
from certain percentage Of the fruit
raised each year when they begin to
bear, but the "catch" is 10 the order
for the trees which the farmer is called
upon to sign. In thirty days he is
called upo to pay in cash for trees the
amount named in the order. Some
have purchased as high as 5000 worth
of trees-.he terms are 30 fair and rea-
sonable--and have been caused much
trouble and expense and in many cases
have been compelled to pay. We
would say to the readers of "The Ban
ner," if this fakir calls at your place set

Success With Sofa Beans.

About two years ago l read an article
in the Tribune, written by Mr., John
Gould of Ohio, in the course of which
he said: "Twenty bushels of threshed
beans an acre is an extreme yield of
sofa or soy beans. With six years. ex-
perience of growing sofas in Michigan,
1 can assure Mr.. Gould that, so far
fom being an extreme yield, twenty
bushels is not even an average yield.
1 live in Al degrees IL minutes north
latitude, but never had an average
anywhere near 80 low as twenty BUSH
els. / have known dozens of cases
where the yield was from thirty-fve to
fifty-two bushels. l have grown all
the imported Japanese varieties and
about a dozen of American origin. The
only failure l ever had was with Mis-
souri, grown seed, and the only time the
yield ever fell below twenty bushels
was with the dwarf brown variety.
The yield of this variety was sixteen
bushels in 1898.
My crop has averaged thirty-six and
a half bushels an acre the last five
years. Soy beans average 81 to 81 per
cent protein. On an average of 80 per
cent get seven hundred pounds pro-
tein to the acre, or more than three
times the amount indicated by Mr..
Gould's statement. 1t costs me about
$10.50 an acre to produce crop of
sofas, use of land included, but this
figure can be very materially reduced.

ton for cattle or sheep feed. l know of
no concentrated feed stuff that can be
obtained 30 cheaply as soy beans,
Now, Friend Gould, am in GUAM
Diary. Either Ohio soil is poorer than
it looks, or Michigan sand is long
ways better than the popular estimate
of it. Or maybe the soy bean is a
triie more prolific than you had
thought. Which?-(Edward E. Evans,

Lice on Cattle.

Those who write to US bout this
time of the year complaining that their
cattle are lousy are doubtless unaware
of the fact that there are two kinds of
lice which infest cattle. They are di-
vided into two separate families-viz.,
short-nosed louise and long-nosed louise.
OF these two the short. nosed louise is
the larger and most difficult to destroy.
1t is to be found mainly about the neck
and shoulders, which parts are often de-
nuded of hair by the rubbing induced
by The itchiness caused by the little
pest. The long-nose louise, is however,
the most familiar TO cattle breeders.
The body is about an eighth OF an inch
long and about a thi of that in width
The head is long and slender without
visible eyes.

Diversity VS.. SpeciaIties.

The great mass of farmers believe in
diversified farming, even when for
some reason which they think is to be
found in their particular situation they
do not practice it. Opportunity for ro-
tation is furnished by it; steady, all
the-year-round employment is found in
it; it supplies a means of escape from
the low prices that are the rule in
section where all the farmers grow
largely of staple crop which seems to
be adapted to the section; with crops
and products wisely chosen some money
comes in all the year through, and the
farmer does not have to postpone every
thing till 81 sell my corn" all the eggs
are not in the same basket, and in
great variety of ways wise diversity is
advantageous.
1t is true that the specialist who has
made success of some particular pro-
duct is just as enthusiastic in behalf of
specializing. He argues that this is
the day of specialties and one must do
some one thing better than other peo-
pie in order to succeed; that no farm
or can get along with too many irons
in the fire and the like, all of which ar
guments seem plausible and have at
least some truth in them. Nor would
we seek to dissuale any one who has
found specially that suits his tastes,
his soil, his situation, his market, his
labor supply, ETC., from continuing to
produce it and betakes himself to diver
sity, although it is fact that when the
basket that contains all ones eggs falls
to the ground the wreck is pretty seri-
GUS. We do believe, however, that for
the great mass of farmers, diversity of
crops and live stock-snd as large q
diversity as can be devised under the
circumstances, too-will be found the
wisest course and the one that will pay
best and make the farm more homelike
during a series of years. This docs
not preclude the idea Of giving special
