A Carnation Saver.

do you know why carnations have
fallen about 40 per cent. in price in
the last year or SOP" said a local
florist ut isn't because they are less
popular-they are more popular than
they ever were-but it is all on ac-
count of little wire machine, recent
ly invented, that costs about 3A
cents. This machine may be de-
scribed as an automatic tree box of
steel wire. 1t is a couple of feet high
and stands upon three legs. AS soon
as carnation begins to grow it is
slipped within the machine, and there
afterward it remains upright, for
there is a series of rings that take
hold of it and guide it in it's growth.
Before the invention of this device
the majority of carnations spoiled be-
cause when they became tall they fell
over and the the flowers rotted in the
dust. "-Philadelphia Record

After Twenty Years.

Lusks Springs, Ind, June 9th.-It
would be hard to find happier man
than Mr.. William CattersOn of this
place has been for the last few weeks.
For twenty years his wife had been an
invalid with complication of diseases,
Neuralgia, Rheumatism and generally
broken down constitution.
Mr.. CattersOn had done everything
that loving care could suggest, but in
vain-his wife only grew worse.
Recently, however, he heard of
Dodds Kidney Pills and determined to
give them a trial and was overjoyed
at the splendid result.
From the very beginning of the treat
ment she commenced to improve, till
now she is nearly we'll and Mr. Cater
son is rejoicing. He says: Nothing
ever did her so much good. We will
always praise DOdd's Kidney Pills for
the good work they have done for US"

Drought Made Them Thieves.

That was pitful scene in Jefferson
City, Mo-, last week when twelve men
from Camden county were arraigned
on the charge of cutting and selling
timber on government lands. They
did not deny the charge, but said that
they were obliged to sell the timber
or starve. Owing to the drought they
had raised nothing and had no means
OF support. With fine heroism they
said that if the government wished to
punish them they would not complain.

Only Prosecuted Christians Sell.

A New York author recently wrote
an exceedingly clever story of early
Rome and took it to a we'll known
publishing firm.
What sort of story is it," asked
the publisher.
Roman" said the author.
ANY prosecuted Christians in it?'
No; the date is too early for that 3"

Deafness Cannot BE Cnrad

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by cOnStitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube gets inf1amed
you have a runbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

he is susceptible of ready analysis and
examination. He has long head for

recalls at once the fate of Mark
Twain's three Glasgow Jews, who
could not get car fare to escape from
Scotland. He has implicit, unquestion-
ing faith in God, tendency to believe
that too large share of this worlds

and another tendency toward finding
the hand of God in all that pleases him

WHISKY TABLET FIRM
DENIED USE OF MAILS.
Committee of Experts decided II
Was Not the "ReaI Stuff" and
That Settled 1t.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The Tribune
prints the following telegram from
its Washington correspondent:
Postmaster General Payne today
issued an order denying the use of
the mails to the Whisky Tablet Co.,
2l5 Lyceum building, Kansas City,
Mo. The company advertised that
the tablets when dissolved in water
made a substitute for whisky that
was even better than the straight
article. The department received
number of complaints regarding
the company, and an inspector was
assigned to the case who bought a
box of the tablets and made a tum.
bier full of the liquor, according to
directions. He didn't thing much
of the result, but inasmuch as he
does not confess to being a Judge OF
alcoholic liquors-at least not in his
official reports--he formed an i'm
promptu expert commission COM
posed of a Kentucky Colonel, a
drummer and bartender, to pass
upon the quality of the substitute.
The members of the commission
solemnly and successfully tasted
the contents of the tumbler, and
after they had recovered sufficiently
to sample a substitute, their con-
clusion was voiced by the Kentuck-
ian in the statement that "this
stuff, such, is vile, perfectly vile.
1t bears not the slightest resem-
blance to the genuine article, sub,
and the man who sells 1t for a sub
stitute should be prosecuted-rig-
orously prosecuted.
The other members of the com
mission concurred in the remarks
of the chairman and after their con-
clusion that the liquor was not alec.
holic had been substantiated by ex-
pert testimony of a slightly differ.
ent kird, the Assistant Attorney
General decided that the sale of the
tablets as a whiskey substitute
constituted a fraud.

Car. You Tell?

1t is the boast of Kentucky that
her wealthiest class of citizens live
10 the country; that many Of her
farmers are college graduates, and
that in their homes can be found
libraries that would do credit to
professionals. Can it be that in
the pursuit of "book larnin" we
have neglected that homelier, but
just as essential, knowledge that
can be picked up around us? Could
you answer these questions:
You can any day see a white
horse, but did you ever see a white
colt?
How many different kind of trees
grow in your neighborhood and
what are they good for?
Why does a horse eat grass
backward and a COW forward?
Why does a hop vine wind one
way and a bean vine the other?
Where should a chimney be the
larger, at the top or bottom?
Can you tell why a horse, when
tied with rope, always unravels
it, while a COW always twists it il
to a kinky knot?-Winchester Dem

Measuring Corn in the Crib.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer says he has measured
thousands of bushels of corn by the
following rule and in cases when it
was afterwards weighed proved
satisfactory:
"There is no rule by measurement
that will prove exact, as so much
depends upon the variety ard quail
ity of the corn. Reduce the inside
measurement of your CRIB to cubic
inches, and divide the amount by
1900, and your quotlent will be the
number of bushels. The rule is
based on the fact that there are
2, $50 cubic inches in a bushel, ig-
noring d small fraction. We esti-
mate two bushels of ears for one of
shelled corn; therefore divide by
double the amount of cubic inches
in a bushel, 1890; and I have al
ways been willing to buy or sell on
this basis where it was impracti-
cable to weigh. Your crib 20 by 10
by 5, by this rule, would contain
401 bushels plus fraction"

A Model Man.

Mr.. G. S. Brown, of Salubria,
KY, is visiting his brother, Col.
NJ. D. Brown, of jacksonville. The
visitor is 81 years of age and has
never been married. He is one of a
large family of children and has
been rather a remarkable man.
During his whole lie he has never
used cup of coffee, never tasted a
drink of liquor, never smoked a
cigar, a pipe or cigarette, never
took a chew of tobacco, never was
sick day in his life and has never
taken dose of medicine. Neither
did he ever swear an oath or use
profane language of any kind.
While he is quite aged, yet he is
very vigorous for one who has seen
so many years.--Glenn's Graphic.
