The Trials Of Women.

The homes of this country are filled
with women whose trials utterly de-
strOy the joys of existence. They are
the victims of female disorders and they
do not get relief, and they are forced to
drag through the weary years without
the hope of better days. All such should
be advised to use few bottles of

stint Walking Is Ancient.

Strange stills are those used by Jap
anese and Chinese boys. Instead of
having side blocks, like the American
boys, they have foot rests mOrtised on
the silt stick and projecting backward.
These stills can only be used where the
Japanese boys feet are bare, for the
silt stick must be grasped between the
first and second toe of each foot.
Spanish boys are great silt walkers.
and they invariably use sticks that
reach to The hips and are strongly
bound there as well as at the ankles.
In some of the islands of the south
Pacific ocean very rough sport is en-
gagged in by boys on stills. Perched
high on their thin support and with
their faces and skins grotcsquely paint
ed, these semisavage lads, sometimes
as many as twenty at time, meet and
try to trip each other up or knock each
other down.
Like most sports and games silt
walking is of very ancient origin. Cut
in the stone which forms one of the
oldest Pharaoh's tomb there is crude
picture of a man leading a procession
and walking on stills. This ancient
silt walker must have been very skill
full, for he is holding no side sticks,
but is using both hands in holding
great horn to his mouth, which he is
apparently blowing.-W Washington Star.

Nothing is now more universally ac-
copied than the fact that the peach is
an improved variety of the almond.
The almond has thin sheH around
the stone, which splits open and shows
the stone when mature. This outer
skin has simply become tleshy in the
peach, so that it is all that gives it its
specific character. 1t seems now clear
from investigation in the history CT
ancient Babylon that in their gardens.
nearly 1000 years ago, the peach was
cultivated then as it is now.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Pos
sibly gardening in some respects. at
least so far as it relates to many Of
our cultivated fruits, was as far ad-
vanced 5000 or 5000 or perhaps 10000
years back as it is today.
Ph9nicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds. apricots, ba-
nanas, citrons, figs, grapes, olives.
peaches, pOmegranates, and even sugar
cane was in extensive cultivation. Ger
tainly this shows how far advanced
these nations were in garden culture
many years ago.

George I'LL, when not engaged in per-
forming the operations which had so
much to do in gaining for him the
popular nickname of Farmer George"
amused himself at one period of his
long life with the making of buttons
and attained a very respectable degree
of skill in the manufacture of the diff
ferent varieties then most in fashion.
George ~, his son and successor,
affected another sort of unkingly dis
traction for idle hours and particularly
prided himself on the perfection with
which he could "cut out" pair of
breeches. Outside the glorified ranks
of the fashionable outfitters of the day,
the StultZes, the Meyers, the Schweit-
zers and Dandrons, only Beau Brum-
mel was thought to be his rival at the
shears, but for elegance and accuracy
and style the king considered himself
the Beau's undoubted superior. The
unfortunate Louis XI. was an expert
locksmith, with a general turn for
mechanics, and spent whole days in his
forge, as did one of his predecessors
on the throne of France, Louis XIII.

Des Moines, Iowa.
Though the average daily temperat-
ure was to 5 degrees below normal,
yet there was sufficient warmth and
sunshine during the week to maintain
a healthy and vigorous growth of
corn and other cereal crops. Con-
ditions were better, especially for
oats, spring wheat and barley, than
would have been the normal heat and
moisture of the first of July. The
small grain crops are now generally
free from rust, and though short in
straw the heads are filling well, giving
promise of a fair yield of well devel-
oped grain. The corn crop has made
fairly good progress, being generally
we'll cultivated, and many of the most
advanced fields have been laid by in
good condition as to size and vigor
of plant.
The stand is materially below per-
feet stand, Or 100 per cent, and this
has been measureably true of every
corn crop grown in the state in the
past twenty years. The final output
of the crop, whether it shall be up to
or below the actual average of the
past decade, depends wholly upon
future weather conditions. Haying is
in progress, with variable reports as
to the yield; all accounts agree
ing that the quality is good.
Potatoes, apples, berries and the
minor crops generally, are doing we'll.

The story of n vision.

A Scottish newspaper prints the fol-
lowing remarkable and dreadful ex-
periencc," which a correspondent says
he heard from the lips of a fellow pas
senger, member of parliament. This
man had left home early in the morn
ing, travelled about hundred miles by
rail and put up at n village hotel. Feel
ing fatigued. he retired to his bedroom
at an early hour. He was in the act of
undressing when there appeared to him
what was evidently the ghost of his
fOur-year-Old son arraycd in the vest
ments of the tomb. \ conviction that
his son, whom he had left in the morn
ing in perfect health, was dead urged
him to driv" to the nearest station in
time to catch IL train that passed ut
midnight. On reaching home early next
morning he found that his boy had
died about the time the vision had ap-
pCared to Kim.

1--WE are going to make all other
breeds take to the woods after this
test" said Mr.. Graves. "a few days
ago was testing some Of our Jersey
milk, and my hands were all sticky
and greasy from the enormous amount
of butter fat the milk contained. Mr..
Won Heyne, who is in charge Of the
Holsteins, sent over a quantity of his
milk for me to test. OF course, from
commercial standpoint, there was no
comparison between the milk, but it
was a pleasure to test his milk, for
when 1 got through there was no
grease on my hands. After this !
will have q bucket of Holstein milk
around handy to wash my hands in
after testing our own rich Jersey milk"
The test begins May 16 and contin-

You may search through the annals
Of all time, and the speeches of men
will tell the passions of the periods
during which they flourished. The
speeches of the ancients that have
been preserved through the ages pre-
sent to us our strongest and most i'm
portant history of the past. They con-
stitute the living sentiment of the lit
erature of fame. In all the mighty
tumults Of war, the tranquil periods of
peace and the convulsive shocks of rev.
olution the orator stands in clear relief
as impressive and enduring as the SOL
der. The great speeches of the great
men of antiquity are in the mouth of
the schoolboy. He cannot know Greece
without Demosthenes. He cannot know
Rome without Cicero. Still the stenog-
raphers of those centuries were unlike
the stenographers of this. and so it will
always remain a lasting regret that
many of the most brilliant utterances
of ancient oratory and wit have never
been recorded. -Schoolmaster.

Many, says contributor, are dis
tressed by the way in which a cat
"plays" with mouse before killing it.
That the mouse does not suffer so much
as might be expected is proved by GER
tain facts told me by friend short
time ago. Her cat after catching a
mouse and playing with it for some
time left it to go and eat some meat in
a plate on the floor. To my friends
surprise, the mouse followed in spite
of broken leg and fed for awhile out
of the same dish, the cat occasionally
pushing the mouse aside when 1t came
too close. When both had finished, the
cat ate up his companion. who evident
ly feared death as little as the con-
demned murderers who, we are often
told. late a hearty breakfast on the
morning of their execution"

How many people, when 5J'y'

complications? There are few
II they would only investigate
The different makes before de-
Gliding on the purchase, there
would be fewer repair shops
over the land. A spring here
and a gear there, and loaded
down with q lot Of inventions,
mest people say, "That must be
a god engine. |" Well, they buy it.
In little while, to keep it SO,
Tag, they commence to tinker,
and the more time and money
spent the more she gets out OF
whack. When they realize that

with it. Now if they had only
bought a simple engine, one that
would not run because it did not
have q lot of fixtures, they could
have avoided the expense and
delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stouer" when you
are thinking Of buy ing an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as It
gives them but little work.
