A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.

Velpen, Ind, June 17.-William o.
&. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and
who is q brother of eX-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties, has had a remarkable eH-
perience recently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years of age,
and has been citizen of Pike county
for 80 years. For two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was so bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita-
ton of the heart, and a smothering
which was very distressing. He used
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure mir
acle. Mr.. Sullivan's statement of his
case is startling:
"a month ago l was cripple. To-
day / can do hard days work every
day, and have not single ache or
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the
case of Mr.. Sullivan.

A RURAL MAIL BOX.
One of the Most ServieeabIe of the
Many Now Being Introduced
Into the Service.

The accompanying drawing shows
one of the newer mail boxes invented
for use in the rural districts, where
the same box is employed both for
mail matter that is being delivered
to the resident and for matter de-
posted by the latter for the carrier
to take away. This particular box is
made rather long, so as to admit
periodicals without folding them.
Many persons object to having their
magazines needlessly creased
The opening above the door is so
arranged that the carrier can drop

Goose Farming I'm England.

Goose farming and goose fattening
have fallen off greatly in England.
From old accounts we read that it
was not uncommon for man to keep
a flock of 1000 each of which might
be expected to rear on an average
seven goslings. The floclls were reg
ularly taken to Craze and water, the
same as sheep, and the man who
herded them was called goose-herd
or gozzard The birds were plucked
five times in the year, and in the au-
tumn hocks were driven to London
or other markets. They travelled at
the rate of about mile an hour. and
would get over nearly ten miles a
day When geese are to be Travelled
a distance in Europe, they are driven
through warm tar, and then through

lustration represents the gap while
the water is low During q food

glance some might think water gap
made in this way would not turn

attempt going through. The bars or

securely to the pole which crosses
the stream. The pole must also be
secured at both ends by means of
posts or stakes. Should any drift ac-

enough to flow over the top of the

mail in there without unlocking the
door, and thus save time. Then, like
some other mail boxes, this one has
a signal to attract the carriers atten-
ton, in case mail for him to take
away is inside. The signal projects
below the lower edge of the box, and
is adjusted when the main door is
open. 1t can be set, therefore, only
by person having a key to the box.
Of course, when the carrier stops and
opens the box he shoves the signal
up out of sight, where it remains I'M
til one of the family pulls it down
again. When a carrier has nothing
to deliver and sees no signal set for
him to collect mail, he saves time
by passing right along.-N. Y. Trib-

THE SOUL OF The SINGER.

We read the song that IS written
few little grotesqUe signs,
Arranged IN a certain meter,
Wtsh rhymes at the end OF the lines;
And by the sound Or the meaning
Some chord IN our hearts IS stirred;
But the song In the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
We all fall short Of expression.
However ye seek to linn
The picture within the spirit,
The painting is crude and dim;
So little is placed on canvas.
SO much there must be Inferred
The song in the soul Of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
How oft the message that's gathered
The reader himself puts there!
How oft the message intended
Escapes and is lost in the air!
We miss the intangible something
That's back of the printed word.
The song in the soul of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
The ono who best sees the picture
rs he with the soul for art
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart.
The thoughts that are rarest and sweetest
Are deepest from sight inferred.
The song I'm the soul OF tie singer
Is something lndl never Htdtu.
We meet: yet are yelled in spirit:
Familiar. and yet unknown;
A realm IN our inmost beings,
In which We're alone, alone;
In each is a strain peculiar
To 20 other mind conferred
The song in the soul Of the singer
Is something that's never heard.
There are yearnings that can't be spoken;
There are loves so supremely blest,
There are dreams so infused with heaven,
They neved can be expressed.
There are infinite Inspirations,
BY which we are thrilled and spurred,
Like the song in the soul of the singer,
something that's never heard.
II may be in realms eternal
The curtain shall backward roll.
Revealing the CLEANS Of glory
That shine in the Utmost soul.
And then, the ideal vision
No longer obscured and blurred
The song In the soul Of the singer.
Unpent, shall at last be heard

ApnuaILoas of Fertility.

The loss Of fertilizer from rains cam
not be estimated. The water courses
carry millions of tons of plant foods
to the sea. The Nile alone pours more
than 900 tons into the Mediterranean
every "a hours The annual loss from
the earth's soil is greater than the en-
tire deposits of guano, even before
they were exhausted. Unless q large
portion of the fertilizer is reclaimed
from the sea time may come when

The Mule Breeding Business.

We are of opinion that mule breeding
has been too much neglected in the
south and perhaps elsewhere. The
mule is really the most useful draft
animal on the farm and by far the
most economical. For real rough
farm work mules are better than
horses. They are not quite so speedy
as horses, but there is much blowing
on every farm that cannot be done
both rapidly and well, and for steady
pulling at a uniform speed the mule
has no equal. They are harder and
more easily kept and more cheaply fed
than horses, and when grown for mar
ket they are always ready sale at
higher prices than farm horses. Largo
mares and well bred jacks are needed
to produce mules that will bring 5000
at two years old.-Farm and Ranch.

WINDMILL SCARECROW.
Even Where They Have Begun
Their Depredations.

The only effectual scarecrOw l ever
found is a windmill. l formerly made
them to jingle bell as they turned,
but later found that their motion
alone is just as effective. l take two
pieces of pine two inches square and
about two feet long. These are first
balanced on l<nife-edge to get their
center of gravity. Make a side NOR
tise in each, cutting half through,
tack them together at right angles,
and we have the four arms. Bore a
hole for the axis and insert an iron
box, or else tack a washer on each
side to prevent wear. The oats are
the sides of quart tomato cans, un-
soldered in the fire, rolled out fiat
and tackled to the arms, which have
previously been beveled by taking off
corresponding corners. Another
strip of two-inch stuff about three
feet long is required, a piece of tin
or a single is tackled to one end for
a vane, hole is bored longitudinally
in the other end to receive a bolt,
which is then driven in with the
wheel upon it. After being thus
mounted the center of gravity is
found. hole bored through the stick
at this point. and the whole mounted
upon a stout pole set in the ground,
using bolt for a spindle to allew the
vane to turn in the wind. Such
contrivance has never failed with me
to prevent, or to interrupt the work
of crows even where they have com
menced their depredations.-Rural

NO RADICAL CHANGE.

The ceremony of administering the
oath Of Office TO President Roosevelt
was most impressive, according to the
reports sent out from Buffalo by the
news agencies, and some remarks made
by the new president on the occasion
indicate his line of policy. In brief, he
declared that it would be his purpose
to carry out the policies OF President
Mckinley in all things, and to make
this promise good he Immediately inb
vited every cabinet officer to retain his
position under the new administration.
1t lie given out that no immediate change
will take place in the cabinet.
This will be gratifying news to the
couatry since general ripping up OF
the departments at Washington would
doubtless follow reorganization of the
cabinet. However. weave Of the opinion
that IS coon as the country settles down
from the shock occasi0ned by the
assassin alton aud death of President
Mckinley, some changes will lake place
10 the cabinet. Two or three members
of the cabinet had expressed their
intention to retire before President
Mckinley was shot. We regard change
in the posLmaster-general's Office se
practically cersain, aud 1t is quite prob
able that Secretary OF State Hay will
ask to be relieved. Who Will be called
into the office OF postm aster general is
not intim&ted, but It is generally be
lieVed that on the retirement Of M.
Hay Henry Cabot Lodge will be made
