Dr. J. w. Bates Of Corfu, N. Y, states I:
"a most remarkable case has come under
my hands of late and has fully convinced
me of the wonderful power of DR.. 4. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills over diseases Of the
nerves.
"A young lady who was treated tJr ever
two years for epilepsy by two doctors was
given up to die. | found that her sickness
was not epilepsy, but nervous troubles dus
to menstrual arrangements, and prescribed
four Of Dr. Chase's Nerve Pills a day after
meals and at bedtime Since that time she
has not had a single bad spell. Her health
has rapidly improved, she has gained about
fifteen pounds in weight, and do not hest
tate to state that DR.. A. w. Chsse's Nervs
Pills have saved her life and restored her to
health"

Why Eyes Are Light and Dark.

An interesting point is the cause OF
the different shades OF color we see in
the eyes. On a certain membrane in
the interior are numerous cells called
pigment cells. When these are pres
ent In very great numbers, they pro-
duce that deep black color Of some
eyes and in proportion to their num-
bers decrease also the depth Of color
till finally light blue is reached In
certain eyes these pigment cells do not
exist at all, being wanting. indeed, all
through the system, hair and skin. A
person Of this description is called an
albino, and among animals we find a
parallel in the case of the white rab-
bit-Chambers' Journal.

FOR THE CHILDREN

The Kind of n Boy the World Wants.
Boys are always in demand because
they are the material out of which men
are made, and as first class material
is always at a premium in every line
of trade SO the boys who give promise
Of making first class men are most ca
gerly sought after.
The boy the world wants today is the
one who can be trusted to handle mon
ey without any of it sticking to his
fingers or finding its way into his pock-
cts. He will take as much interest In
the. affairs Of his employer as If they
were his own and will stay fifteen min
utes without being asked to finish 4
piece Of work after the whistle blows
and the rest Of the men have quit
work. He will be able to write busi-
ness letter and spell the words cor
reCtly and to add up a column Of fig
ures promptly and accurately. He will
lift his cap as readily to his sister
when he meets her ON the street as he
would were she the sister Of some 9th
er boy, and he will not be ashamed to
walk to church with his mother show
her into her own pew and sit beside
her during the service. He Will be
careful in making a promise and just
as careful about keeping it. He will
have sufficient moral backbone to say
"No" to those who would lead him
astray, and he will have enough cour-
age to own that be is striving TO make
q man Of himself.
This is the kind of boy so many are
on the lookout for-Selected.

The ideal farm COW, sheep or pig
should be medium between the high
bred animal and the old scrub, says a
Kansas farmer in American Cultiva-
tor. That IS, each one should possess
some OF the hardness of the latter and
be able to hustle a little for a living
without suffering therefrom and yet
be able to do good work, make beef or
milk In good quantities or produce
pork or wool that will pay. These AMI
mails show a degree of success on the
average farm which makes them OF
great value. They are suited TO a little
rough, practical life, and yet wbeu
kindly treated they respond quickly to
the improved environments

Apparatus That Makes the Process
Easy and How to Use 1t.
American Agriculturist describes a
scalding pan or vat made with IL inch
boards and galvanized iron, using for
the sides two pieces Of boards about
feet long and IA or 16 inches wide.
Have the lower corners slightly round
ed. Secure n piece Of galvanized iron
% to 80 inches wide and ~ or feet
long Nail the iron to the bottom Of
the boards, allowing it to extend
around each end to the top.
To use this dig a trench in the
ground a little narrower than the pan,
2 or feet longer and IS or 90 inches
deep. Set the pan over this trench,
bank up on the sides with soil and put
in about six inches Of water, build a
fire under one end and allow the water
to heat. At one side Of the vat build
platform for scraping the hogs. Have
q couple of pins near the top of the
pan. over which put the ring Of two
trace chains. Put the hog on the plat
form. Have one man take hold Of
both chains on the opposite side Of the
vat Roll the hog into the chain hold
er, letting it down into the water grad
ually Standing astride the pan, each
taking hold of the ends Of one chain,
two men will easily turn and scald a
heavy hog In about half the time 1t can
be done in the barrel. The water can
be kept at the proper temperature by
adding more fuel or by adding cold
water when it Is too hot. The trace
chains should be close enough together
to pass In front Of the hind legs and
just back Of the front legs. When the
hog is scalded, he can be returned to
the platform by replacing the rings of
the chain on the pins and lifting on the
free end.

The best data obtainable as to the
growth Of independent companies not
controlled by the American show that
they now have exchanges In 2,111
cities and towns and serve. as shown
above, 70S.717 subscribers.
This Independent development rep
resents an investment OF probably not
far from $150OOO,O00. Besides inde-
pendent companies operating e1chenR-
es. there are nearly half million tel
ephones in use by persons who do not
need connection with n central sta

of the Independent companies Is rapid
