A Profitable YEAR
on The FARM
Depends to a large extent on pure blood, good diges'
ton and a sound physical condition.

The farmer cannot afford to commence Spring work with his blood loaded with
impurities or with a torpid liver or constpated bowels. When the sun gets warm,
fthge are impurities in the blood they begin to spread their malignant influence
to every part of the system producing a drowsy tired, lazy feeling. Work becomes
a severe task instead Of a pleasure and the victim has to drive himself to his daily
duties. Unless this condition is corrected symptoms of a spell OF sickness soon
appear The appetite becomes variable, the breath foul, with bad taste in the
mouth, occasional headache and fevershnesS, all of which gradually grows worse as
the days get warmer, and by the time hot weather sets in the victim finds that he
can't work to amount to anything. He is weak, short-winded and his head swHns
on the least exerton hence he is compelled to lose valuable time sitting around
work. How long delayed the final breakdown will be is a question of strength, and
if the disease is allowed to progress until it undGmines the constitution the end IS
inevitable, in the meantime there Is much suffering and expense. The proper
course to avoid this misery is to begin the seasonr right, by thoroughly purifying the
blood, and cleansing and regulating the stomach, liver and bowels so that the
system will be equipped for hard work in hot weather. Prudent persons begin
and continue its use regularly until Summer begins. The expense of this "sPdng
cleaning is trhMng while the benefits are beyond estimate. The number OF
persons who take a curse of PRCKLY ASH BnTERs every year for this purpose
is increasing rapidly. As its great efficacy in purifying the blood and regulating the

III HUNG CHANGES WIVES.
The First One, Though Alive, Was
Looked Upon ms Dead.

l The one romantic complication in the
life Of the late Machlayelli Of China,
Ii Hung Chang. is, amusing or tragic
according as one may choose to look
at It,
Earl Ii early in his distinguished
career took 4 wife. During the Tai
ping rebellion his wife had to fly to the
Interior for safety. where she lived for
many months without communicating
with her husband. The Chinese states
man meanwhile, thinking his wife had
persisted with other victims in the mas
sacre, enlisted the sympathies Of the
emperor, who ordered a magnificent
funeral. The empty coffin was follow
ed to the grave with all pomp and
ceremony of state by ii Hung Chang
and representatives of the emperor.
After a period of mourning II Hung
Chang took unto himself another wife
and settled down again to domestic
felicity.
Then the first wife appeared. She
had narrowly escaped the massacre
and had been living with her family.
Mrs. Chang No. took exception to
Mrs. Chang No. and wished to be
reinstated as principal wife, for the
law of China does not allow polygamy.
II Hung Chang was in a great stew.
In despair he applied to the emperor.
The emperor said Mrs. Chang No. /
had been accorded a state funeral.
Therefore, to all intents and purposes,
she was dead, and he advised his min
lister to ignore her, which he did. AS
women are treated as mere chattels in
China, the first wife did not demur
but went back to her family, among
whom she died-New York World.

mstnmnr n cnIhn

The man who originated tine oft
quoted maxim, "Stuff cold and starve
fever" either did not understand
what he was writing about or he has
been widely misunderstood. to the
great injury of multitudes who have
acted Upon the absurd maxim.
Presuming that the author of It was
physician who knew something Of
the nature of colds and the action of
remedies, he must have spoken sub
1unetlvely and not imperatively, and
then 1t would read thus: "If you stuff
a cold, the consequence viii be that
you win be thrown into a fever rs a
result Of the stuhing treatment of the
cold, and then you viii have to starve
the fever"
This is a true and sensible interpreta-
ton Of this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as any
Of the thousand and one popular er-
rors which prevail on medical subjects.
without dwelling on the nature or
causes Of colds or on what physicians
call the pathology Of these disorders,
we VIII say that low or even starva-
ton diet for few days, with the free
drinking of warm, mildly stimulating
teas, is better for a cold than any drug
or combination Of drugs.-London Fam

uo,r a plnmona cuts GIass.

It has been ascertained by a series OF
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart so that a
continuous crack is formed along the
line of the intended cut. The crack
once begun, very small force is neces-
sary TO carry it through the glass, and
thus the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep. A depth, according to fine meas
urements, of a two-hundredth part Of
one inch is quite sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose, so that the applica-
ton of much force in using the dia-
mond only wearsfout the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into
proper form, will cut glass like dia-
mond, but are not so valuable for that
purpose, lacking the requisite hardness
and soon losing the sharp edge neces-
sary to make the operation a success.

wheat Does Not Crow wild.

The existence Of names for wheat In
the most ancient languages confirms
the evidence of its great antiquity and
OF It's cultivation in the more temperate
parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.
From the evidence adduced by botan-
lists Of high standing, it seems highly
improbable that wheat has ever been
found growing perslstently I'm a wild
state, although it has often been as
serted by poets, travellers and hlsto-
rians.
In the odyssey" for example. we
are told that wheat formerly grew in
Sicily without the aid of man. Diodo-
rus repeats The tradition that Osiris
found wheat and barley growing pro
mfscuously in Palestine, but neither
this nor other reputed discoveries of
wheat growing wild seem at all
credible, seeing that it does not ap-
pear to be endowed with the power
Of persistency, except under continued
culture.

An ndd r.e rnr 1he pIn.

An odd use that the pin was put to
long ago was that Of checking the in
temperate habits of the English. St.
Dunstan conceived the idea of dividing
the tankards out of which the ltduor
was drunk into eight equal parts. each
part marked with a silver pin. The
cups were generous affairs, holding
two quarts. Consequently the quantity
from pin to pin was half a pint, and
the regulation was that the drinker
"stop at q pin"
Roisterers. however, prevented the
purpose Of good st. Dunstan and estab-
lished the rule of good fellowship, I"
by which the drinker was TO stop only
at pin. II he drank beyond, he had
to 20 on to the next mark. AS it was
difficult to stop exactly at a pin the
vain efforts always excited much
mirth, and the trial usually ended with
the draining Of tho tankard.

RuTTER AS a MEDICINE.
It Is Good For consumptives and
For Thin, Weak People.


Butter is so common a commodity
that people use is and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand in the pats of dainty yellow
cream fat. OF course they know that it
IS useful in many branches of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare OF its thinly rolled bread
and butter, it's delicate cakclcts and Its
other usual accessories. BeyoRd these
uses the value of butter is a thing only
vaguely thought Of.
But this delicate fat is as valuable
as the dearer cod liver oil for weakly,
thin people, and doctors have frequent
ly recommended the eating Of many
thin slices OF bread thiclSly spread with
butter as q means Of pleasantly taking
into the bodily tissues one of the pur-
est forms of fat it is possible to get.
Butter is a carbon, and all excess OF
it is stored up as fat in the body. II
gives energy and power to work TO
those who eat heartily Of it. So it is
not economy at table to spare the but
ten, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery, If plenty Of fat can be digest
ed, IS one of the best ways Of curing
me disease If it is in its early stages
or Of keeping It at bay if advanced.
Butter is not a simple fat, composed
of merely one sort. 1t is a mixture OF
no less than seven different sorts OF
fats, and no more complex oil can be
taken than this is.
