COMMERCE AND GENT1LITY.
Sister Jane Nervous and stopped
It's Sale.

One OF the most interesting pieces of char
acter drawing in Hawthorne's work is the
proud old New England woman, Hepzi-
bah, in the House of Seven Gables"
Forced to keep shop, she used to wish that
customers would not come to witness the
fall OF her pride and her fortunes The
Washington Post tells similar story, the
scene OF which is laid in a Pennsylvania vii
lage.
Two old spinsters keep a little shop in
which they sell pins and calico and other
small wares" Last summer Washington
woman saw a jar of homemade candy in
their window, and bought some of it, 1t
was so good that she bought more of it, and
told all the summer visitors about it. There
was run" on homemade candy, and the
jar had to be refilled again and again.
One day the Washington woman called
for some more of the candy, and was told
that the sisters were out of it. A day later
she called again, and the elder sister, with
some embarrassment, said that they were
still out, and recommended that she try
the clty-made candy at the drug store. This
was not what the Washington woman want
ed, so after two days she paid third visit
to the shop. Still the candy jar was empty.
Aren't you ever going to have any more
of it?' she asked
The elder sister hesitated in obvious dis
tress.
Il don't think we are" she said at
length You see, so many people got to
running in here asking for that candy, and it
made SO much confusion, that Sister Jane
got nervous about it. So we decided not to
sell any more candy. We aren't going to
keep it after this

Rev. e. q. Smith.
Mr.. M. J. Rossman, prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
" For a long time Twas troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using few
bottles am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and am
now enjoying effer health than have
for years, and can heartily recommend
Peruna to all similarly afflicted. Ills
certainly a grand medicine. IN. j.

Catarrh is essentially the same where
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

HAD CRAZY SPELLS.

West Pembroke, Me-, Sept. 22.-The
thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. A.
L. Smith suffered with peculiar af-
Fiction which her mother describes as
follows:,
ut is two years now since she was
first taken with crazy spells.
"They kept on coming at intervals
and 1 could get nothing to do her any
good.
"The doctors gave me no encourage
,nent. They all said they could not
help her.
"The crazy spell would last about
nine days, then she would be well about
nine days, but would eat very little and
was very yellow. Even the whites OF
her eyes were yellow.
81 heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills
were a great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
"After taking one box she was COM
pletely restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. Of course we con-
tinued to use the pills and she used
altogether five boxes last fall.
"In March thought saw symptoms
of the spells again and I got six boxes
of which she has taken four and is in
splendid health.
"Her case was certainly remark
able one and we are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good
they have done my daughter"

TO DISTRIBUTE SILAGE.
The Hopper and Bag Plan Here De-
scribed Is the Best That Has Yet
Been Discovered.

Many forms of distributors have
been invented, but what is known as
the hopper and bag" plan is far
superior to any yet CHANGED upon,
and is shown in the figure. The hop
per is about three feet square at the
top, quite deep, so as to get pitch,
and is suspended from the roof, so
that the cut silage is thrown from
the carrier into it. A is header
board for the silage to strike, so as
to fall straight down and so mix
corn, leaves and stalks all together.

To Relieve a Choked Cow

A neighbor turned his cattle into an
orchard with fallen apples bad
place for cows. One cow became badly
choked with an apple. A neighbor hap
pened to have piece of rubber hose,
about three feet long, rather stiff. We
CREASED this with lard, held the cows
head up, and showed the hose down
her throat, pushing the apple down
into the stomach. A piece of rubber
hose is just the thing for this purpose,
being flexible and soft, yet stiff
enough for the purpose. Hogs are
better for the orchard than cows. A
little caution saves trouble and ex-
pense in many instances. Ohio

Improve Your Dairy Herd.

Many dairymen possessing COM
mon cows get discouraged because
they say they cannot compete sue
cessfully with more fortunate farm
ers owning blooded herds. To such
let me say the remedy for improve
ment lies in your own hands. If
you think you cannot spare the
money to purchase blooded bull,
attempt to secure the services of
one this season for at least portion
of your herd. Select only your best
milk animals to be the mothers of
your future grades, and you will
soon have a herd of the latter, of
which no dairyman need be ashamed.

A Great System.

A peddler entered one of the skyscrapers
and proceeded to the thirteenth story.
There ill luck overlook him and he was
kicked down the stairway. The noise at
tracted the attention of tenants on the
twelfth floor, who appeared on the scene in
time to accelerate the motion of the unfor-
tunate as he passed down to the eleventh
floor. Successfully and numerous additions
to the propelling force as ne passed each
floor finally landed him in the street in a
state of intense excitement. AS soon as he
could regain his feet and breath and be-
hold the magnificent building and the height
from which he had descended with such
uniform and rapid progress, he remarked:

A DURABLE SALT BOX.
1t Will Be Visited by Stock Nearly
as Many Times as the Water
ing Trough.

In this day of intensive up-to-date
farming every farmer who keeps
stock should have supply of salt
within reach of the stock at all
times. A salt box will be visited by
stock nearly as many times during
the day as the watering trough. But
salt in an open box will be wasted
considerably by rain or snow, or the
stock, particularly sheep, will get
their feet in, and waste it in this

Palm Oil In Margarine.

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has notified the Chicago. manM-
facturers of oleomargarine that they
will not be permitted to use palm oil
in the manufacture of oleomargar-
ine This the manufacturers take
exception to. They say the law per-
mits the use of vegetable oils and
that they will go into court to de-
fend their rights. But the path of
the. commissioner is plain. Tt takes
less than one per cent. of palm oil
to color the butterine yellow like

use is obvious.

Eev. ]. S. Dill. D. D., of Fredercks-
burg, one OF the best-known and best
beloved pastors in the State, may como
to Richmond to take up the work of the
Rev. G. ]. Thompson. as secretary OF
the State Mission Board.
At two meetings the board has failed
to make an election, but it is believed
the next effort will be successful. Here
tofore it has been generally thought the
choice would be between the Rev. B.
Cabell Henins, of Bristol. and the Rev.
f. B. Martin, of Salem. But it develops
that there are on the board men who
feel a deep interest in the Virginia in
stitute at Bristol. with the work of which
Mr.. Hening is prominently identified and
in the orphanage at Salem, in connection
with which Mr.. Martin occupies a sim
liar position. Either of the two would
make an excellent secretary of missions.
but to remove either would be more or
less disastrous to one or the other OF
the two institutions.
Hence several ministers are preparing
to advocate DR.. Dill for the secretary

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary In Order to Cure ca.

tarrh.
The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarril is change of climate, is
mistake because catarrh is found in ali
climates in all sections Of the country;
and even If change Of climate should
benefit for a time the catarrh will ce:-
.ainly return.
Cataryh may be readily cured in an.
climate, but the only way to do it is to
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the mis-
chief
The trea tmeEt by inhalers, sprays pow
ders, and washes has been proven almost
useless in making a permanent cure. as
they DO not reach the seat of the disease
which is in the blood and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting with
remarkable success in curing catarrh OF
the head. throat. and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the stomach, is sold BY
druggists under the name Of Stuart

These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency 10
