THE KIND OF SEEDS THAT YIELD.

Like everything else there are good seeds and bad seeds. Seeds that grow and seeds that don't grow seeds that yield and seeds that don't yielG, and n little thought given now to the selec- tion of the seed you'll need, will be found time well spent, thoughlrealized much better at the harvest if you select the world-famed Ferry's Seeds-the kind that always yield. For nearly half century Ferry's Seeds have been known and sown wherever good crops are grown, until farmer and gardener alike, have learned to depend upon their wonderful reliable growing and yielding qualities, year after year, to the exclusion oI all others.
 Unfortunately the seed business seems to afford means for many un- scrupulous people, who aim to blind the unwary to quality. through little- less of price and boastful claims; who in reality have nothing to substaniate their claims, no reputation at stake, ID past record as proof. It is better to pay little more for the seed and be assured of great deal more at the harvest by sowing Ferry Seeds. The 1903 Seed Annual which is sent free, postpaid, will be found unusually in teresting and instructive. Write for it today. Address, D. M. Ferry X Co.,, Detroit, Mich.

ANIMAL ODDITIES.

Breton sheep are not much larger than fair sized hare.
 The mandarin duck is one of the most beautiful of aquatic birds.

 A beetle one-third the size of horse would be able to pull against more than dozen horses.
 The greyhound, which can cover Il mile in minute and twenty-eight sec onds is the fastest of quadrupeds.
 The giroFe, armadillo and porcupine have nc voral cords and are therefore mute Whales and serpents are also voiceless.
 The glowworm lays eggs which are themselves luminous. However, the young matched from them are not pos sessed of those peculiar properties until after the first transformation.
 To escape from dangers which men, ace them starfishes commit suicide. This instinct of self destruction is found only in the highest and lowest scales of animal life.

Smallest People In the World.

The inhabitants of the Andaman is lands are the smallest race of people in the world. The average height of full grown Andaman is feet inches, and few weigh over seventy-six pounds. They are marvelously swift of foot and as they smear themselves over with q mixture of oil and red ocher present very strange appearance. Few travellers care to encounter any of these bellicose little people. for their skill in throwing the spear and in using the bow is only equaled by their readi' ness to attack strangers.

In cases where bronchitis has become chronic from want of proper treatment in the earlier stages, there is nothing as good as Dr.. August Koenig's Ham, burg Breast lea, in conjunction with which is strongly advised the use ot St. Jacobs Oil as an outward applica- tion along the front of the throat, from close up under the chin to well down to the top of the chest, tie one remedy to assist the other, and as intended, they work in complete unison. The wonderful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil enables it to reach the ad- hesion of foreign matter which lines the bronchial tubes and which makes breathing more and more difficult. As these adhesops Lecome inhamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such auhesions to break away, making expectoration easier and more free. Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parts, is com forting and quieting, stops the cough and relieves the breathing. This manner of treatment (and tl.ere is no other two remedies that will work together so successfully reaches the difficulty from the outside and the inside at the same time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the adhesion, and assists Dr. August Koenig's Ham, burg Breast Tea in clearing them; then both remedies act in unison in healing and curing. The above re- marks apply with equal force n cases of asthma, croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils and all bronchial affections. Every family should have St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August Koen- ig's Hamburg Breast Tea always in the house in order that they may be promptly used in the first stages. Often the maladies develope with won- derful rapidity, and complications take place with equal suddenness.

AN UNCHANGED BILL.
The Clothing Merchant Was Ton Much For the College Professor.


 Ex-President Gates of Amherst col lege was man with three salient char. acteristics-belief in compulsory wor- ship as means of grace, nicety of Ian guage and fondness for bargain hunt ing that was almost feminine. As illus. tratiye of the latter 1t Is told that on certain occasion Mir. Gates bought for $3 pair of trousers that had been marked at SC and had them charged. The first of the month bill came in: "To one pr. pants, $3."
 Mir Gates crossed off the pants" and substituted trousers" then remailed the bill. The first of the next month an other bill came in:
 "To one pr. pants, s."
 This time the bill was returned, as before, but with the following legend: Dear MT. Thompson-I am always caro- ful about the language I use and like oth- CT people to be the same.
 The first of the third month MT. Gates received bill:
 'To one pr. pants, $3."
 This time he went in person to visit MT. Thompson. He explained his posi- ton. Thompson looked at him a mo. ment and then replied:
 Pres dent Gates, I've been in the clothing business for twenty-five years an during them twenty-five years ev- erything in my shop above $5 has been trousers and everything below $5 has been pants. It's pants you got. and. egad, sir. it's pants you'll pay for."-' New York Times.

fected a Treatment which when faith

BRANDS CATTLE
WITH ELECTRICITY.

Lloyd Jenkins, a Texan, has invent
ed a method Of branding cattle which
he says will do away with the hot iron
altogether. and save the cattlemen of
the West more than ST ,0oo.o 900 a
year in the value Of hides. The scar
made by the hot iron goes clear
through the hide, and after the pelt is
tanned 1t makes that portion of 1t on
which 1t appears practically worthless.
Each brand costs the cattleman in
the depreciation Of the value of the
hides of his stock from 25 cents to ST.,
according to the size and position of
the brand.
Mr.. Jenkins called at the brand de-
partment of the Secretary Of States
office and brought with him the draw
ing of his apparatus. together with a
cowhide tanned with the hair on. show
ing how his marks look, and another
piece Of leather tanned for betting.
showing that the brand cannot be seen
on the leather unless 1t is carefully
looked for, and that It does the hide
no harm whatever.
The invention is an adoption of the
electric process used by the beauty
doctors for the determination of SUI
perfluous hair on the human face.

La PLATA.
"reminiscences of Churchill County
and Court Doings.

Nt&
Of all the mining excitements In the
early days none is less known than that
of La Plata. Still at one time La
Plata boosted of a population of about
500 souls. was the county seat of
Churchill county. had two daily stages
from California by way of Virginia City
and there are a very few old-timers
living today who do not remember the
La Plata excitement.
In the early sixties there were two
companies operating in the La Plata
district. the La Plata and Black Knob
companies. They we're about three
miles apart. Each company spent
about $750.ooo in development and
each had its own smelter. Just as
they were about to start up White
Pine with its excitement set the coun-
try ablaze and the La Plata and Black
Knob companies tore down their ma
chinery and shipped it to White Pine
and that closed the history Of what
might have been one of the greatest
bullion producing camps of the state
Of Nevada.
If La Plata failed as a bullion pro-
ducing camp by reason of its not being
properly developed, 1t did not fail in
other respects for there wa born in
1866 one of the most eminent lawyers
Of the state, The Hon. B. F. Curler.
Judge of the second judicial district Of
the State Of Nevada. La Plata like
most old-time mining camps is rich In
"reminiscences. A case came up be-
fore the district court, presided over
by Judge Grey. in which !. M. Sanford.
at present a resident of Wadsworth
and for thirty years landlord Of the
Saltwater hotel, wa defendant. Will
son who had killed a man a few years
previously with a monkey-wrench in
Austin and was known as Monkey.
wrench Wilson was plaintiff. The case
was over the ownership of a piece of
land on the upper sink Of the Carson
known as the big island. Sanford
squatted on about 100 acres OF this
island. and while he wa in Wadsworth
after lumber, Wilson jumped his claim
and put up a shack. Sanford's wife
informed him of the fact. He came
back late in the evening and In COM
pany with Dave ST. John went ever to
his claim. tied a rope around Wilson's
house which was built on the brink of
a slough, hitched a yoke Of oxen to 1t
and tumbled 1t into the slough. Hence
the law suit.
1t was evident to the jury when they
were summoned to try the Ease that
the court favored Wilson In all his rul-
ings and as the jury were strongly in
favor of Sanford they did not relish
the courts instructions to find for the
plaintiff. So when the case was given
to the jury their first move was to APP
point a judge and counsel for both
sides from the members Of the Jury
and retry the case. In every point
wherein Judge Grey ruled for the plain
tiff the judge appointed ruled for the
defendant. And Sanford won out.
During the proceedings in the jury
room Judge Grey was in his room ad-
joining and heard all that ~transpired.
To say that he was wrathy doesn't ex-
press it, but Sanford appeared and set
'em up for all hands and the matter
was considered settled. says Mike
Sullivan in Lovelock Tribune.
