QUESTION ANSWESED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized woJld. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of any
thing else for indigestion and bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Presentation or Heart Failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
Organic action OF the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Green's

make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Get

New Ter commandments.

An unknown sacred writer has pre-
pared ten new commandments that
commend themselves to all loyal citi-
Gems. They are as follows:
I. Thou shalt not go away from
home to do any trading, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter.
II. Thou shalt patronize thy home
merchant, and the home printer, yea,
verify, doth not thy home printer
spread over the land glad tidings of
thy goodness and greatness: and they
shall patronize thee. Make haste
therefore, and subscribe, for that which
will cause your countenance to shine
with intelligence and bring prosperity
to both.
III. Thou shalt employ thine own
mechanics that they may not be driven
from their homes to find bread for their
little ones. Thou shalt also consider
him as thy neighbor, above all that
dWelleth in a strange town.
". Thou shalt not ask for credit as
the goods cost much money and the
merchants brain is burdened with
bills. His children clamor daily for
bread, and his wife abideth at home
for lack of such raiment as adorneth
her sister BLESSED, yea, thrice
blessed, is the man that pays cash. -
V. Thou shalt not ask for reduced
prices for thine influences" for be-
hold guile is thine heart and the mer-
chant readeth it like an open book.
He laugheth thee to scorn and shouteth
to his his clerks, "ha, han
vi. Thou shalt doeth whatever lieth
in thy power to encourage and promote
the welfare of thine own town and
thine own people.
VII. Thou shalt not suffer the voice
of pride to overcome thee and if other
towns entice thee consent thee not for
thou mayest be deceived
VIII. Thou shalt spend thine earn
1ngs at home and they may return from
whence they came and give nourish-
menu 70 such as may come after thee.
TX. Thou shalt not bear false wit |
ness against the town where thou |
dwelleth but speak well of it to all men.
x. Thou shalt keep these command
ments and teach them to thy children |
to the third and fourth generations
that they may be made to flourish and
grow in plenty when thou art laid to
rest with thy fathers.

curing Hays

To cure hay perfectly, retaining all
the nutrive quality of the grass, re-
quires good degree of skill and care.
In that line there is rather more kill
ing than curing; that is the vital quail
ity of the grass is measurably destroyed
by bleaching in sun, dew and rain.
Haymaking is one of the most difficult
and risky operations on the farm. A
man should be a close observer of
weather conditions, or a storm-scenter,
to avoid the heavy losses that result
from having the hay caught by soak
ing rains. The early hay harvest
comes usually in the season when show
ers are most frequent, and the aggre-
gate of loss is very heavy. In some
seasons two-thirds of the tame hay put
up in stack or NOV has suffered ma
terial damage from sun, dew or storm.
If farmer is situated within range of
the delivery of daily weather forecasts
by mail or 'phone, he should carefully
note the storm warnings during the
haymaking. If the forecasts are not at
hand he should be close observer of
weather conditions, taking note of the
humidity of the air and directions of
the wind. Local showers may come at
times without warning, but generally
there are quite plain indications many
hours in advance of storms OF consider
able extent and duration. When the
the wind is southerly, with marked
humidity, the farmer should devote
more time and labor to curing and Sc
curing the hay than running the now
er. Trust in Providence is all right,
but be careful to keep the hay dry

DUST.

March is just upon us, and March is

F., to be allotted to us.
| l was curious to know what the dust
of FL Paso consisted of, SO the other
day, when there was mild wind blow
ing, I took a slip of glass and coated it
with glycerine and walked around a
block with it in my hand and then ex-
amined it with microscope to see
what 1 had caught. I found that 1
had caught quite a variety of things.
| First there was sand, then there were
hairs, white, blue and red: there was
much decayed vegetable matter-prob-

of exchanging articles of clothing with

of retaining the affection of his men,

BRIDES PROMISE TO OBEY
Opposed by Religious Paper as a
Remnant of Comparative Barbar-
ism.

From the Independent
The promise of the wife to obey lin
the marriage service) is the ragged
remnant fro mthe days when women
were the despised servants and drudges
OF men. In old English usage. the wo-
men promised to be "buXom' (bow-
some, submissive). Now the phrase is.
In nearly all churches. that she will
love. honor and obey him. The ODE
dlence is made very pronounced. and
after the service. as they march from
the church. the organ rattles out the
music of Now you are married. you
must obey" and the bride is gibed
about her promise and declares that
she would say it but that she did not
mean to keep the vow. What ought
to be the most serious promise of mar
riage. the pledge of dutiful affection
and fidelity. becomes joke and a farce
Just because priests and people will
Keep in the service of marriage the
words which perpetuate an antiquated
obsolete condition of social life
Still clergymen of conservative ideas
and whole denominations that provide
a required form of marriage, insist on
the retention of the falsehood Some
times they even try to justify it from
Scripture. They juote Paul on the 81
lence and obedience of women. as if
what was right in Paul's day were to
| be right always. They even go back
to the Garden of Eden for argument.
But we know better now, because So
cial and moral conditions are better
When the conditions changes the law
changes.
| But the sad thing is to see these
teachers of religion requiring women
to perjure themselves on such a SOL
emn occasion, to promise to do what
| they do not intend to do. and ought
not to engage to do. 1t is of piece
with the pledge required of ministers
or theological professors giving their
| adhesion to a creed which was made
generations ago, and which can be &C
cepted only in some very loose con-
| struction of language. 1t tends to in
sincerity, to fiippancy of thought about
marriage. even to misunderstanding
and differences that may lead to quar-
rels and divorce.
Marriage is the foundation of So
ciety; it should be the fit foundation
for the best society we know. Such
society requires the best development
of woman as well as of man. 1t makes
neither a tyrant and neither a slave.
but each the helpful mate and adviser
of the other. In such society as the
Christian religion has developed with
education and culture the right and
the achievement of the woman as well
as of the man should be recognized. To
require the woman to put herself under
the will of the man, to obey him. as
well as to love and honor him. is a
cruel. wicked anachronism; and no
clergyman is justified in compelling a

violent temper He is the intimate
friend of all the men in his comman-
dos. yet when there is duty for them
to perform, he is cuttingly stern with
them, and temporarily there is wide
gulf between them. For many years
before the war he was a most bitter
Anglophobe in the Free State Rad;
now, as soon as the British soldier falls
into his hands he will insist that the
prisoner have the best treatment that
it is possible to give him. While form
ing plans for battle or movement, he
discusses the subject thoroughly with
anybody and everybody, but as soon as
he commences to carry the plans into
effect he becomes dumb. and refuses to
disclose his purposes, even to his most
trusted lieutenantS Although he rel
ishes a victory as keenly as any one
he will not allow one of his burghers
to cheer or display other signs of joy
after battle is won. UnschoOled in
the tactics of war, he is a master tao
tician: born outside the breastworks OF
civilization. he is noble in manner and
department; bitter enemy of the
British, yet he is a staunch admirer of
their capable men, DeWet is rough.
honest and fearless; a devoted friend
and vengeful enemy; he is a marvel

the commandant general are his impeT-

his effervescent humor, his kindness to
the burghers anr prisoners, his great
regard for the opinions of the enemy
and his unbounded. inextinguishable
faith in the ultimate success of his and
