One HObby's Good Results.

Col. j. w. Vrooman believes thai
every man ought to have a hobby, to
take his mind off business cares. He
looked around for one and selected
the New York juvenile asylum. With
others who had chosen the same hob.
by, he has been able to add to the
pleasure of the $50 children of the in
stitution and take a very close inter
est in their personal careers. Some
one was good naturally twitting the
colonel on his hobby the other day,
when he won another ally to the
cause by a story.

The Value of witch-HazeI.

Alphabetically, the plant has no
value, as it hardly grows large
enough for fuel, but makes a bushy
clump full of branches. 1t is found
abundantly in bush pastures, and the
only good thing to be said about it is
that it acts as a nurse plant for bet
ter forest growth, to which it gives
way.
Incidentally, it has a great reputa-
ton. The extract of witch-hazel is
manufactured by thousands of gal
Ions in Middlesex county, Conn.,, as a
remedy for wounds, bruises, etc. 1t
is sold by the bottle and the barrel,
and is in wide demand.
Now comes in the agriculture.
Witch-hazel brush-the whole plant,
body and branches-is cut up short
in a huge straw cutter, and a fluid
extract is prepared.
The farmers get just enough for
cutting and delivering the brush to
pay for the labor, thus getting pay
for clean pastures within the reach
Of the factories. Other parts of the
state would like to share, with Mid.
dlesex county, in this market for an
otherwise useless product. We hnd

AN HONEST MANS OPINION

Vermont, Mo-, April ssth.-If what
Mr.. j. S. Tillery, of this place, says is
true--and none who know him doubt
his honesty-the new remedy, Dodd's
Kidney Pills, is q wonderful medicine
indeed. Mr.. Tillery says:
IL had Kidney and Liver Trouble for
years. l had used many medicines but
could get nothing to cure me.
II heard of a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and began a treat
ment with the result that l was very
soon on the mend.
II kept on using the pills and am now
entirely better. l honestly do believe
that they are the greatest remedy the
world has ever seen.
Il am always willing to help a good
thing and | cannot say too much for
n that helped me so much.
IF | didn't know that Dodd's Kidney
Pills would do all that is claimed for
them !. wouldn't say a word of praise
for them"

An Improved "Rural Delivery

The farmers of Fairfield, Nelson
county, KY, are not much interested
in the free rural delivery system.
Several years ago they solved the
problem of rural delivery to their
own satisfaction. James Stanley,
who keeps a general store" at Fair
field, is the postmaster, and delivers
the farmers letter nine miles from
town.
He uses the telephone to do 1t.
About five years ago about forty
farmers, who live on the various
turnpikes within from five to nine
miles from town, agreed to pay for
private wires for their own use. One
wire serves eight or ten of them.
When they don't want to drive to
town for their mail they call up the
postmaster and ask:
rs that you, Stanley"
"Yes," replies Stanley.
"Any mail for me-"
Yes, a postal card"
Read it to me-"
This is done. If it is a letter he is
asked to open it and read it, which he
does. In this way, as the farmers
know when the mail gets in, they get
their news sooner than rural delivery
could give it to them.-N. Y. Times.
