POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Bachelors may lead blissful lives
but you can't make a spinster be-
lieve it.
Many a man goes to the bad be-
cause he attempts to pose as a
good fellow.
Some women confde in men for
the purpose of extracting secrets
from them.
AT the age of 1877, this country's
remarkable vitality may be attrib-
uted to its wonderful constitution.
Men laugh at trouble and women
cry over it, or at least that's the
way they usually act at wedding.

To COnfine Purchases TO Breaks
in Louisville and Cincinnati.

Important negotiations are going
on which, if successful, will put
the Louisville leaf tobacco mark ct
In the strongest position the trade
can develop. The trade cannot
flourish as it once did until there
comes more competition in the auc-
tion markets.
The object in brief, is to reach
some agreement by which the Con-
tinental and American tobacco
buyers will hereafter confine their
purchases to the auction markets
of Louisville and Cincinnati.

There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more COM
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis-
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach. kidneys, livero
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. II you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and

great heart and blood tonic, without days

DANGEROUS INDEED.
Wound Doctor Feared Would Heal
Before He Could Dress Il.

At the recent congress of physi-
clans in New Orleans story about
DR.. Lorenz went the rounds, says the
New York Tribune.
DR.. Lorenz some years ago was
summoned suddenly to the bedside
of Frenchman who had been wound
ed in a duel.
"Cpme Immediately, and bring
plenty of surgeon appliances" said
the summoner, "for you will find
your patient in a serious situation"
Accordingly the physician and his
assistant loaded into their carriage
great quantity of bandages. and
iodoform gauze, and absorbent cot
ton, together with probes of every
size and shape, anaesthetics and
splints. Great was their DISCUS,
upon reaching the Frenchman's
house, to find that nothing allied him
but a mere sword scratch in the fore
arm.
DR.. Lorenz, with smile, sent his
assistant for some warm water am
waited for his arrival to dress the tiny
wound. The Frenchman, groaning
fearfully, said to him:
"Is my hurt serious, sir?"
Every serious, indeed" replied the
physician. "I'm afraid if my assist
ant doesn't hurry it will heal itself
before he gets back"

White Holland turkeys are not
such roamers as the other varieties.
They are IA fine fowl and are quite
gentle, laying their eggs in hooks
and secluded spots around the farm
buildings. The saving of time
that this makes possible is worth

Thinning Fruit.

The thinning of fruit was prac.
tically unknown years ago, or al
least praeticed only by very few
observing orchardists. Now. how
ever, fruit thinning has become q
regular practice among fruit grow
ers.
1t is the first requirement to pro.
duce choice fruit, which is now d.
days the only fruit selling for
high prices. No two specimens of
fruit should be left closer together
than four to five inches. This will
allow the fruit remaining after
thinning to expand and grow lar
ger and more healthy. This work
may seem very hard and tedious
at the first attempt, but we will
soon find it as necessary as the
pruning.
Trees have frequently been killed
from exhaustion by over bearing,
especially among plum trees.
Many fine peach trees have broken
down limb by limb, until only the
trunk remained. This work should
be practiced more among plum
trees than the larger fruit such as
apples, pears, ounces, etc.
The St. Louis Modern Miller says
regarding the crop outlook: ere
turns from the threshing continue
to show how small and how much
below the average Is this years
yield of soft winter wheat. Dis
appointing reports come from near.
ly every section where soft wheat
is raised. The only noteworthy
exceptions are Texas and Oklaho-
ma, although in Oklahoma the
yield is not up to expectations.
Some millers in Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and Kentucky are already
drawing wheat supplies from other
centers, as they cannot obtain sufiic-
ent stock at home. There are also
reports of disappointing yields of
hard winter wheat, but these are
not of sufficient Importance to
create alarm. The quality and
condition of both soft and hard
winter wheat is excellent for mill
ing purposes"
