A Woman's Wealth,
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
OF those powers by which life is maintained
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing TO overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands Of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness TO Paine's
Celery Compound Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatchcd from
the grave; she says:-

4 Quaint Old Custom.

A London shop assistant says: at Is
my duty every night to 20 out to the
rear of the premises and fire of an old
1intlock pistol This curious custom
dates back TO the middle of the eight
zenith century Our shop, now In a
crowded north London district. was in
those Old days practically in the cour-
try. and it was the custom of the then
proprietor, who was tlmid. eccentric
man, TO fire Il pistol off every night TO
let the would he burglar know lie was
armed and prepared for him. Think
Ing his custom such Il good one. seeing
that his shop WAS never attempted. lie
stated in his will that the custom
should be continued. which has always
been carried out. although, of course.
we do ii now merely to keep up a
quaint old custom"

Remarks of Louisiana stock Breed
ers In Convention.
Mr.. Communicable are adapted to
certain conditions. Nature seems to
have fixed this. Those adapted to hill
country are usually short and bulky,
while those with large frames are bet
ter adapted to the prairies. The Here
fords are the best rangers. For dairy
purposes the Jerseys are the best For
the hill farmer the Red Polls are the
best. This Is the best dual purpose
animal and is well suited for the aver.
age farmer. The Herefords are not
good mixers. Every man should get a
good breed. Then it is his duty to per.
feet that b'eed. They should be well
fed and taken care of. Some people
say cattle don't eat in winter. This Is
wrong. If you don't feed them enough,
1t stunts their growth and weight.
Mr.. Gayden--I tried cattle in winter
without feeding them; put them in a
canebrake. | weighed them the follow
ing May, and only one Of them had
held its own
Do you find that Red Polled cattle
make baby beef?
Mr. Constant-Galloways and Red
Polled cattle will weigh as much at
eighteen months old as ShOrthOrns.
The Red Polls are the best and oldest
breed in England. They are the best,
in my opinion.
Mr. Avant-I breed Shorthorns. | be.
lieye the Durham the best dual pur.
pose COW. | think there is money IN
the Durham for us in this country.
They are excellent mixers. | don't
like the Jersey breed except for milk.
Our rich grasses build them up.
Mr.. Dougherty-Years ago Colonel
Richard Peters gave my father a Brah.
ma bull. The first one was white and
several of them red All over this coun
try afterward showed this blood. They
make fine oxen and are as good as
mules. | don't believe they have been
perfected as well as the other breeds
MI Albert Montgomery of New Or
leans says he will give 500 for every
tick you could find on them. 1t is said
there are no ticks Oh them.
Mr. Won Phul-I find Brahmas good
cattle They soon get acclimated in
our hot weather.
Mr.. Pipes-I think the Brahmas are
the best cattle for the hill country. No
ticks get OH them. l think they are as
good as the Durham.
DR.. Stubbs-We are trying to improve
breeds. Brahmas were first introduced
by General Wade Hampton OF South
Carolina. | cannot see what you want
with Brahmas unless you want oxen.
You should get cattle adapted to your
climate We wish to develop. AS to
cattle, If you want butter and milk,
etc, Brahmas will not do this. They
will not sell up north. Beef cattle to-
day rely on early maturity. We want
them to tip the scales at 1900 or 400
pounds. Today it is the Galloways
Shorthorns, Devons, Red Polls and
Herefords, for dairy and butter the
Guernseys and the Jerseys and for
milk the Holsteins. would advise you
to select a good breed and go ahead,
and you will make money.

FOR WOMEN
Much That Every Woman
Desires TO Know
About Sanative AntiSep-
tic Cleansing
And About Curing Lucrative
Pains and Weaknesses.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Pills in the antiscptic cleans
ing Of the mucous surfaces and of
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening discharges, alterations, in
Examinations, feelings, irritations, relax
atoms, displacements, pains and irregu-
larities peculiar to females. Hence the
Cuticura remedies have a wonderful
influence in restoring health, strength
and beauty to weary women, who
have been prematurely aged and in
validod by these distressing ailments,
as well as such sympathetic Affections as
anamia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous
ness and debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford Immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and identifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruh,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, in the form of
baths for annoying irritations, inham-
nations and Lucrative weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
we'll as for all the purposes of the
toilet, bath and nursery.

about month ago | built combina-
ton buck which was convenient for
both crosscut and buck saving, says a
writer In Ohio Farmer. 1t is shown in
the figure. 1t is made of by 4 oak
scantling halycd together, and the two
nearest KS are only twelve inches
apart from outside to outside. Our
range takes wood seventeen inches
long. and I put the supports near
enough together so that can saw out
side the end and not have the saw
pinch. This would be inconvenent, and
the buck would tip endwise If it were
not for the third Y, which gives sup.
port to long sticks and makes buck
saving much pleasantcr. as much Of
the fatigue in this kind of work comes
from keeping in place the sticks that
are being sawed.
The buck Is 24 inches high to where
the wood rests and 46 inches long The
long legs of the Y are 4S inches. Such
a buck stays where it is put and is very
convenient until time to store 1t. BY
having the cross rods held In place by
lag screws pat In from the underside
the KS can be separated and laid away

TRAPPING ERMINE.
Different Methods For the Flu
Grown and baby Animals.

Different Methods For the Full
Grown and baby Animals.
The colder the climate the finer the
fur, says the author of 1.-THE Greatest
Fur Company of the World in Frank
! Leslie's Magazine, and the difficulties
of obtaining the rare furs are many.
Ermine Is at its best when the cold Is
most intense, the tawny weasel coat
turning from fawn to yellow, from yell
low to cream and then to. snow white
according to the latitude and the sea-
son.
Fox, lynx, marten. otter and bear the
trapper can take with steel traps Of a
size varying with the game or even
with the clumsy but efficient deadfall,
but the ermine, the fur Of which is as
easily damaged as the finest gauze.
must be handled differently.
The hunter going the rounds of his
traps has noted curious tiny tracks like
the dots and dashes of the telegraphic
alphabet. Here are little prints sur-
ring into one another I'm dash; there
q dead stop. where the quick cared
stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert,
for snowbird or rabbit; here, again,
clear blank OH the snow, where the crafty
little fOragcr has dived below the light
surface and wriggled forward like a
snake, to dart up with plunge of his
fangs Into the heart blood OF the I'M
wary snow bunting.
From the length Of the leaps the trap
per judges the age Of the ermine. The
full grown ermine has hair too coarse
to be damaged by snare. II. there
fore. the tracks indicate full p. own
animal. the trapper suspends the moose
of looped Irvine or wire across the
runway from bent twlg, which, when
released. springs upward with jerk
that lifts the ermne off the ground
and stranglcS it.
If the tracks are like the prints Of
baby's fingers. close and small, the
trapper hopes to capture pelt fit for
throne cloak. Perfect fur would be
married by the Irvine snare, so the trap
per devlses as cunning a death for the
ermlne as the ermine devises when it
darts up through the snow and fixes its
spearlike teeth in the throat Of a rabbit.
First he smcars his hunting knife
with grease; then he lays it across the
track The little ermine comes trotting
in dots and dashes and gallops and
dives to the knife. The knife is frosted
like Ice. Ice the ermlne has licked. so
he licks the knife But. alas. for the
resemblance between ice and steel! Ice
turns to water under the warm tongue;
steel turns to fire that bllsters and holds
the foolish little stoat by his inqulsltive
tongue, a hopeless prisoner, until the
trapper comes

FOUNDED ON A ROCK.
The Pueblo of the AcOma Indians
In New Mexico.

A traveller from New Mexico was tell.
ing the other night of the wonders of
that country.
You have all heard the advice about
building on rock, suppose" said he.
"Well to see that injunction carried
out to the letter you should visit the
Acoma Indians. Their pueblo is built
on a mesa rising 800 feet from a COM
paratively level stretch.
"They tell funny story about how
huge rock. 1t seems that they were
formerly located on another rock, and
one day when they were all out work
Ing along came great rainstOrm and
wiped off the map the only path lead
Ing up to their rock city. Well. there
was nothing for 1t but TO hunt up an
other rock. and they took life lease
Of their present location.
'It's a picturesque place when one
gets up there. The houses are built of
adobe, and one has to get out Of doors
to get upstairs. You see. they have
ladder up which they climb to get into
the second story.
''They have ways Of their own Of
cooking They grind their -four In
trough with stones. They grind the
wheat as a woman washes clothes and
spread 1t to dry on an old shawl. That
part Of 1t may look simple. but tell
you 1t takes some skill to spread
thin batter over q redhot soapstone as
they do when baking When 1t Is done.
they take hold of one corner and lift
it off as one would porous plaster.
"But those people are past masters In
the art Of making pottery. They have
been at it for years and turn out some
beautifully colOred water jars. bowls
and such things. Altogether they are
picturesque people, and visit to them
is well worth the climb up to their
rocky home if one happens to be In
that part OF the country."-New York

Discretion.

of a merchant who was generally con-
