THE EVERLASTING cATALPA.

The department of agriculture hence forth will urge upon farmers through out the United States the economic value of planting groves of the hardy catalpa.
 It is an almost indestructible timber. Representatives of the government bu- .reau of forestry have been making a detailed study of the uses to which the wood may be put. In southeastern Missouri they secured a post which for fifteen years served as fence post on farm at Charleston, Mo, and was then turned over to the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railway, where it played it's part sturdiiy i1 ar1tAc. fence for twenty-three years more. To day it shows not the slightest traces of decay. A tie which has been in actual use on the lines of the Louisville and Nashville for eighteen years was founI to be in perfect condition. Even where the spikes had pierced the tie the wood was perfectly sound.
 For telegraph and telephone poles the hardy catalpa is unequaled. The few groves in the west are speedily making their owners rich. and the government experts are urging farmers to devote as much land as possible to the culti- vation of this profitable tree.
 These groves can be cultivated with little trouble and expense and if ordi- nary vigilance is taken to protect grow ing trees from certain parasites, the hewn wood becomes practically inde- structible; for nothing, the scientists say. can successfully attack the cut timber II is the hope of the bureau Oi plant industry that a realiza ton of the great market for the hardy cataIpa timber. which at present is very scarce will result in vast tracts of artificial forests on the now treeless plains oi the west.-Saturday Evening Post.

The Year Just Closed WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
 By Those to Whom
Paine'S Celery
 Compound Gave New Life and Happiness

The year just closed has been a mem- orable one for Paine's Celery Com pound. A multitude of men and wo- men weakened. nervous, rundown and suffering the pains and agonies of dis ease, have had their burdens removed and their feet firmly planted on the solid rock of health.
 Stirring political events of the past year. the colossal efforts of trusts and monopolies, the recent miners strike, and other notable events will be quite forgotten in a few weeks or months Not so with the strength after weak ness. the new life after years of suffer ing. the robust health after wasting disease, the permanent cure after the verdict of "incurable" pronounced by the physician. These glorious remem- brances and blessings, and the happy assurance that Paines Celery Com pound makes sick people well" will be indelibly graven on the mind as long as life lasts.
 The victories of Paine's Celery Com pound over disease in the past year are supported by thousands of testimo- nial letters from the best people of the land. Medical journals have noted the blessed work, and physicians have been compelled to endorse the life-saVinS virtues of earth's best medicine. It matters not, dear reader, how bad you, case may be, give Paine's Celery Com pound an honest trial. and you will surely share the blessings it has be- slowed on others.

Reports come that Belgian hares are killed by hunters when out bagging the common cottontail. A report from Muncie, Ind, says all through the woods, apparently mingling freely with the common rabbits, Belgian hares are found that are probably the progeny of those that have been turned loose by former owners. The mingling has produced nalf-breed rabbit, some of which have been shot. Mos, of the hares are pure bloods, many of them apparently of fine stock. with well marked 'tickings," that bespeak their aristOcratic blood. They are much prized by sportsmen.
 It is believed that with the deca- dence of the Belgian hare fad the hares have been turned into the woods and that as the offspring from q few pairs will. in the course of a few months mean many hundreds, or even thou sands, the woods is gradually becoming stocked with them. To all appearances the hares and the common rabbits get along very well together.-Farmers Guide.

When Americans make pilgrimages in the precincts of Fleet street they gen erally have a look at "Goldsmith's house." as it is sometimes called, in Wine Office Court. At present they would find it prOpped up with strong beams to prevent it's being disturbed by the taking down of the building next door. Goldsmith. could he return to these old haunts, would probably nos recognize it in its splints. It seems to have been in the year 1760 that he moved to these Superior lodgings at No Wine Office court" He had been writing for John Newberry, and here he had lodged with one of Newberry' S relatives, who, perhaps, kept an eye on his errant industry. As we may read in the Dictionary of National Biography, Johnson supped at Goldsmiths iodg- ings on May 31, 1761. He had heard that Goldsmith had quoted him as ''preca- dent for slovenly habits" and he came to the supper dressed with scrupulous neatness."

DIsLOCATED HER SHOULDER.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver- tised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relic it gave his mother that he has since rec commended it to many others. For sale by Elvey & Hulett. druggists.

The Brooklyn reveler at Christmas tide, who went forth on his quest for the merriment belonging to the season. carrying before him the fine Roman nose which, like our revolutionary fore fathers in Webster's generation, had come down to him from a former gen. eration, returned home after a brief but eventful absence with that organ trans formed into one of handsome Grecian proportions. The foundations of the work were laid by some unknown Hit tite, but its symmetrical completion was due to the skill of the Samaritan ambulance surgeon who attended him, and who turned out so fine a job that the magistrate before whom the de- formed transformed was brought for judgment suspended sentence indefi- nitely, and sent him home with his identity somewhat impaired, but other wise rather better looking as the result of his holiday experience. The case is novel one, tempting the Christmas roisterer with nose not cut out by na- ture according to his liking, into the same unreserved line of celebration, but there is no certainty that it will always turn out the same way.

A POSSIBILITY.

That Became a Fact and Pleases Many
 Bald People.
 A. R. Lewis, M. D., in lengthy arti- cle in the columns of the American Journal of Health, says concerning hair: Its deterioration is a constant source of worriment to humanity, con- sequently bald people are readily de- ceived by fake hair restoratives. The wish that a hair preparation will fill the bill is father to the fancy that it Is likely to do so. A rare case in point is that of Newbro's Herpicide, which ac- tually does fill the bill. It destroys the parasite that attacks the hair root. and prevents dandruff, falling hair and badness" Sold by leading druggists.

health again by taking Wine of Cardui. As a regulator of the menstrual periods Wine of Cardui has never been known to fail. It has seldom failed to restore perfect health, even in the most persis- tent and aggravated case of weakness.
 Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Der gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, has used Wine of Cardui and she says 1t helped her into a new life. Health to Miss Snyder is worth a great deal.

 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder. if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's s Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer.
