Rockbridge, Mo-. June 24th:-The
neighborhood and particularly the
members of Rockbridge Lodge, No.
435; A. F. & A. M, are feeli1g very
much pleased over the recovery Of Mr..
Ambrose Mckay, prominent citizen
and an honored member Of the Mason
ic Fraternity.
Mr.. Mckay had been suffering for
years with Diabetes and Rheumatism,
which recently threatened to end his
days. His limbs were so filled with
pain Il at he could not sleep. He was
very bad.
Just then, someone suggested new
remedy-Dodds Kidney PillsTwhich
has been much advertised recently. as
cure for Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Dropsy, !. Rheumatism and Kidney
Trouble. & n,
After Mr.. Mckay had used few
doses he commenced to improve. His
pain all left him, and he is almost as
we'll as ever. He says Dodd's Kidney
Pills are worth much more than they
cost They are certainly getting great
reputation in Missouri, and many very
startling cures az being reported.

The forestry idea grows, New Jersey
being the last to undertake it. 1t is
considered surprising that she should
undertake it at all. for it has been
held thAt$tstes, with mountain ranges
and the newer states are the ones in
which the movement would naturally
find place. but New. Jersey has two
million acres Of forest which. even
with wasteful methods, are valued at
more than $4,OOO,OOO. Forestry ex-
perts think that this could be increased
and at the same time the forest could
be preserved so that the revenue would
be continuous. Recommendations has
been made for plan Of state for
estry reservation, and the governor. 1t
is said. will recommend this to the
next legislature. The idea is based on
purely business and not sentimental
reasons, some Of its advocates going
so far as to think that the state could
derive an annual revenue of nearly
a half million dollars.~

The young woman turned at this; fire

1t was enough. The old gentleman
was paralyzed. He attempted to ex-

"Wishmaker's Town." ,'-
Good people, before we turn.
To your follies. and plots and treasons,
We pray you hear and behold
The whimsical Masque Of Man,
Which shall here be acted and told
BY your servants yclept The Seasons,
With its moral, which we should learn.
For sundry and divers reasons,
And its melodies new and old,
Discoursed by the Pipes Of Pan.
For we hold it timely and meet,
Thus at the days beginning,
To ask, in a mode debarred
To the pundits and the sages,
Whether the days reward
Be properly worth the winning
In short, IL we will, to treat
or the current question of wages.
And so to your clemency
Do we yield us and address us,
With due humility;
And he that is overwise-
AS some of you needs must be .'
In damning us shall bless us,
For the opportunity s.;
To cavil and criticise.

Raising Tea In America.

When Mr.. LIE Due was commissioner
of agriculture under President Hayes.
it will be remembered, perhaps. that
he was the subject of q good deal of
humorous comment for his suggestions
and experiments. among them that of
the growth of tea in this country. He
planted tea garden and made elabo-
rate reports about it. His conclusion
was that tea could be grown here. The
press at the time agreed to this state
ment, but declared that it would cost
500 pound. But Mr.. lie DUO MAIN
tanned that with the proper condition
Of ground, and with proper pickers,
we could have as good tea as is sent
us from Japan or China at like cost.
1t begins now to look as If Mr.. LIE Due
was prophet. At Pinehurst, N. c.,
tea farms have been established. and
DR.. Sheppard has been making eYpe-
riments, with the result. it is said. to
show that in certain portions of the
United States an acre of ground will
yield 400 pounds of tea of fine quaa-
ity at is cents pound, At a selling
price of 80 cents the profit would be
50 ample that capitalists have organ
lied a company for the purchase of
land for the 'cultivatiop,'of tea. The
most serious difficulty that DR.. Shep-
pard has encountered is the lack of
pickers. but it is believed that negro
boys and girls can be- trained to the
task In this connection again 1t Isl
predicted that the southern states will
produce Cuban" tobacco of the best!
Quality The superior quality of this
tobacco is said to be in the life of a
microscopic engine. This can be
brought to this country. according to
the investigation of the department of
agriculture, and can be; propagated In
tobacco. with the result that the quail
ity will be as high as that Of the Ha-
vana- 1t seems pretty certain that all
the resources of Uncle Sans farm
have not yet been developed. - "
