Origin of Our Secret Service.

The United States secret service had its origin in the early sixties under the auspices of the war department. It ac- tually grew out of the fact of Captain Lafayette r. Baker of the Union army offering his services tc Secretary Sew ard as q police-scout to gather informal tion concerning the Confederate army. During the war the United States be- gan the issuance of greepbacks. Then came the first appearance of green goods" men. By an act of congress in 1861 or 1862 S10,000 was appropriated for the maintenance of Bakers service to suppress counterfeiting. The super. vision of the service was then under the solicitor of the treasury. - New York Tribune.

Life to the most favored is not always full of sunshine, but to the average American girl or woman who is obliged to work for her living, and, perhaps to help others at home, life is often a heavy drag in consequence of illness.
 Women who work, especially those who are constantly on their feet, are peculiarly liable to the development of organic troubles, and should par ticularly heed the first manifestations, such as backache, pains in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach, irregular and painful monthly periods.

 "There were several large carrion crows that had been following the farmer and picking up the insects that were turned up, and they were now a few feet away, waiting for the blow to stars again.
 "We went on few feet. and the crows followed. One big, black fellow soon saw the centiped and swallowed him at one gulp.

i and change with farmers is their ina
bility to adapt themselves to altered
conditions. For example, the growth
OF population and other conditions in
the older States render extensive farm
ing Improbable. Land in large bod
les has become scarce and is worn out.
The farmer then decides that he must
go West, where land is more plentiful,
instead of changing his method from
extensive to intensive farming.
If he would only see it, he could
by changing the character Of his pro-
ducts and culture, make more than
twice as much from one-half the acre
age Of land. Again, instead of con-
stantly improving his land by sowing
peas and other legumes in proper ro-
tation nth other crops, he goes on
wcarine it out and then goes West to
get fresh land to be served in the
same way.
Farmers, as class, are very SLOW TO
adjust themselves to any ,ort of new
conditions. Through the multiplica-
tion Of railroads their markets have
been changed, and they fail to see
that at the same time many new mar
kets have been opened up, and their
opportunities are thereby greatly in.
creased in number. They will go on
for years losing money by following
obsolete methods, when slight
change would rcvolutionize their bust
ness.
There is scarcely any business that
requires greater insight than farming
This makes leadership necessary.
The community that has leader who
opens up the way to genuine improve
ment is fortunate indeed, for farmers
are like sheep-they follow leader
with great alacrity when he once
makes successful leap, but few will
take the start.
fear this subject is little appre-
clated even by leaders in agricultural
thought and Practice. Farmers are
not taught to Judy their relation to
environment. 1t is of little value to
farmer that he is taught how to
grow certain crop if that crop is not
we'll adapted to his locality.
The growing of alfalfa is case in
point. Much money and energy are
wasted in trying to produce it in To-
calities where it is not adapted. The
same is true of many other crops.

Faith Cure for Animals.

Christian Scientists in this city
read with great deal Of interest yes
terday report which came from the
west to the effect that the trottiug
stallion Lord Vincent, which is enter
ed in the 2.09 class races at the EN-
pire City track next week, had been
restored to health aud put in racing
form after a serious breakdown
through Christian Science treatment.
Lord Vincent is owned by II. W.
Foote of Texas. He has record of
2.08 3-4, and two years ago won the
rich Transylvauia stakes at Lexing-
ton, Ky. It was after winning this
race that his illness occurred.
The story is that all efforts of vete-
rinarians to remedy the horses trou-
BILE we're unavailing, and then wo-
man in Youngstown, Ohio, tried the
treatment Of mind over matter and re-
stored him to health. Such q report
naturally was received with incredul-
ity among horsemen, but not by mem
hers Of the cul. Of Mrs. Eddy.
Franklin Blake, who is reader in
the Second Church of Christ and a
well.known practitioner, was asked
yesterday if such thing could be
true. Mr.. Blake said he had not
heard of the reported cure of Lord
Vincent, but that it was fact that
many horses and, in fact, domestic
animals Of all kinds had been cured
Of all SORTS Of disorders by Christian
Science, which was nothing in the
world but scientific prayer.
"The cure Of animals is side Of
Christian Science that has not been
touched upon very muoh," said Mr..
Blake. "but in these days Of criti-
cism of Christian science it might be
well to refer little more tc it, Any
one who attends our Wednesday night
meetings is apt to hear of cases in
which animals have been cured. Chris
tian Science is the science Of the
power Of God, and that extends over
animals as we'll as men.
"Animals often respond to treat
ment more readily than human be-
ings, for the reason that there is not
that antagonism that we often have
to subdue in the human mind before
We effect cure. We treat animals
generally by the absent method. OF
course, animals, not being able to rea-
son, it does no real good to be with
them.
IAN animal is always in the right
mental attitude and q man isn't. Any
thing person does for an animal TO-
ward relieving him is appreciated.
You just throw the right mental
atmosphere about them and they re-
spond.
"There is just one difficulty some
times. Animals are reflected thought,
as we regard them. They are subject
to The Influence of msn's mind sud
the rules that govern them are mortal,
not Gods. Now in the case of q
horse or any suffering animal it is
necessary TO clear the atmosphere
around him Of all inharmonies of
thought before cure can be effected.
If had such case I would proba-
bly, begin the tEea,mnnt or the per-
sons with whom the sni&:l was as
soc,aled, as The animal would be re-
fec,ion Of their thought, and the an
