The Cow That Went to Church.

About the funniest accident report
ed in this country in long time had
for it's victim COW which recently
performed the feat of falling into
chapel at West Coker. The place OF
worship was that of the Plymouth
Brethren, and it is built under the
slope of hill. The cow was brows-
ing on the hillside when suddenly she
lost her balance, plunged down twenty
feet or so, 'lit" on the chapel roof
and went straight through it.
Luckily there was no service going
on at the time Somebody who had
seen the affair told the cows owner
what had befallen her, and he got the
key to the chapel and went in. AS
soon as the door was opened the COW,
apparently uninjured, quietly walked
out.-English Exchange.

A Remarkable Clock.

August Mermet of North Adams,
has built clock which is AZ inches
high and ~ inches leep. 1t is made
of mahogany. white holly and white
maple and is very pretty. 1t keeps
good time and on the hour and half
hour strikes. A bell rings, fine cleo
trio lights light up and trumpeter
comes out of closing doors, which

with gold and silver, and it required
three months of Mr.. Mermet's spare
time to build it.

to hear some good singing. The whole
thing proves 20 be farce, as any one
among the audience could sing as well
as the people on the platform. So 1t
is with the Indian war dance. One
aborigine pounds drum, while an
other limps around singing "How, how,
howl" But people don't object; they
expect that sort of thing at the fair.
AS the side show cannot be eliminated
t should be improved. 1t can be made
both entertaining and instructive.

BOLT STAYS IN MINE.
Lightning Follows Wire 300 Feet and
DISCHARGES a Blast.


1t was peculiar freak of lightning
which sent Martin Stevens, a miner
at Franklin Furnace, N. j., to his
death. He was very much afraid of
lightning and said that he was glad
he worked underground where the
lightning could not get at him.
1t was his custom whenever storm
came up to run into the mine en-
trance. He did not think that the
lightning would chase him under
ground and Stay him there, but that is
exactly what it did.
Stevens was engaged in making a
blast ready for a charge, when sud-
denly the lightning struck the electric
light wire outside and ran down the
wire 100 feet into the mine, where it
crossed with the discharge wire which
Stevens was using.
AS a consequence the blast was dis
charged while Stevens was working
over it and he was blown to pieces

Fatteninq Hogs.

In regard to fattening pigs. I am
aware that the young hog Is the
hog in demand now. and the great
object Is to sell the pigs even before
they are hogs; when they are shoats,
less than year old. have never
pursued that method. l never like to
sell hog until he weighs 400 pounds
and over. | know that our professors
tell us that it takes more corn to
make a pound of pork on hog over
300 pounds in weight than before.
Pigs, in this respect, are a great
deal like children. used to walk the
floor with our little kids" night after
night; lots of trouble. They got
past it. They don't require half the
care they did when they were little
fellows. When you get pigs to- about
six months old they take less care
and require little attention. They
about take care of themselves. have
my pigs come along in May. after we
are sure of good weather. Then
let them run in the pasture the whole
summer, and they grow to be long,
lank, big boned and big muscled fell
lows. No fat on them yet. The fol-
lowing September we commence fat
tening them. In February they weigh
400 pounds. A few years ago such
hogs were at a discount 1t was all
English bacon, English bacon"
told them then that before long they
would be wanting fat hogs. 1t wasn't
long. OF course, you must get them
off at the right time, at the regular
season.-John Cowine.

Reports show that the consumption Of
this article last year was about 49,

NATURES OWN CURE.
HYomei Cures Catarrh Without Dan
gerOus Dragging Of the
Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered has It
been possible TO truthfully say that a
remedy for eatarrh was known
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for few minutes four
times a day, and during that time every
particle Of air taken into the air passages
and Tugs Is impregnated with the germ
killing and health-giving Hy0mei. II is
the only treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes disord-
cred digestion or brings on some other dis
eases and never makes a permanent cure Of
eatarrh. Hyomei not only kills the germs
in the throat and nose, but penetrates to the
minutest air cells In the lungs and enters
the blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs 10 the blood II frees the mucous
membrane from poisonous microbes and
gives perfect health.
/ A complete outfit costs but 81 90, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei for several weeks treatment.
Rickert q Wells have so much faith in
the merit Of Hyomei that they agree tC
return the money to any purchaser who
may be dissatisfied.
