The Evil of Worry.

oOuDties6 tueI6 has De6Q more or
less worry since Adam hid in the
bushes, but it is a curious physiolo-
gioal-indeed, it may be pacholog
ioal-fact that real worry. the wor.
ry that has a definite cause, is not
so wearing as the imaginary wor-
ries that we persist in taking to
bed with us. We cannot rest and
be busy at the same time, and it is
not hard 10 guess what will hep
pen to the brain that insists on
fIetting and worrying when it
should be enjoying the serenity of
repose.
There are doctors who can exam.
inc your eyes and tell you whether
you have kidney disease, but how
much better it would be if some
specialist could arise, who can To-
cate worry and pluck it out, as it
were, by the roots. 1t is baleful
source of poison at best, and at it's
worst, it is ruinous. Happy the
man who is able to take the meas
ure of his worries and troubles and
value them for what they are.
Happy. thrice, happy is the man
who can present to their attacks
the impenetrabIe armor of serenety.
His years shall be long, and full of
charity. His head shall be in the
sunshine, and there shall be no
shadow about his feet. Old men
will follow him, and little children
shall be his companions.

The only plan think is to try and
catch the weasels which are killing
your hens in a trail-trap. These ami
mails are extremely difficult to catch
in an ordinary baited trap, because
they always kill their food and suck
the blood. II the animals have got

used while handling the trap, so as to
leave no Odor Of the hands Put the
trap in the run and cover il over with
two boards nailed together so as to

The reason that gloves or some other
covering to the hands is necessary is

these animals The proTerb that you

When I drank coffee I often had

MY mother was Just the same way,
We all drink Postum now and have
never had any other coffee in the
house for two years and We are all
well.
a neighbor Of mine a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains IN
her side for years and was an invalid.
She was not able to DO her work and
could not even mend clothes or do
anything at all where she would have
TO bend toward. II she tried to do
q little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest OF the day.
Il persuaded her at last TO stop
drinking coffee and Try Postum Food
COnee and she did so and she has
used Postum ever since; the result
has been that she can now do her
work, can sit for a whole dsy and
mend and can sew on the machine and
she never feels the least bit Of pain in
her side, In fact she has got vel and
it shows coffee was the cause Of ths

The returns Of the Interior Depart.
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northWard to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas Of the United States Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the DakOtas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk Of its American contingent Last
year, however. fOrty-four states and
districts were represented in the Of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence Of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada The Dakotas still
head the list, with 4,O06 entries, Min
nesOta being a close second with 1857,
but with the exception OF Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who, in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country Of Canada. be
came citizens OF and took the oath Of
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 11,s41 Americans
ada
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Missis-
sippi valley, but the ranchers Of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivatOrs
Of the comparatively virgin soil Of
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands Of the Cana
dian Northwest. It is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; it has become almost rush
to secure possession Of land which it
is feared by those impeTfectly ac-
quainted with the vast area Of Can
ada's vacant lands, may all be acquir
ed before they arrive. There is no
element Of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
fall information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
laws, taxation and system Of govern
ment Of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can well afford to welcome
cordially every American farmer COM
ing to the Dominion There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development Of the
prairie portion or the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thOrized Canadian government agent

Nearo's cIever Invsntion.

A negro Of St Joseph, Mo, an
nOunces that he has solved the prob
lem of producing heat and power with
out combustion. Charles S. l. Baker
is the inventors name. He has a hot
water heater in operation, having
worked for twenty-three years to COM
plete it.
By means Of friction heat is con-
veyed into an air or water chamber
whence the hot air, hot water. or
steam is conveyed, by means Of or
dinary pipes and radiators, to the
place where it is to be used.
There are two complete systems, one
Of hot water radiation and the other
Of steam radiation, now connected
with this one heater, and the heater
can be instantly changed from a hot
water boiler to a steam boiler. With
the water in the boiler and the entire
hot water heating plant cold, it is
possible to heat radiators in less than
one-half the time that hot water radia-
tors can be heated by any other known
process
With the water in the boiler and all
the steam radiators cold, it is possible

pounds pressure on the steam gauge in
less than one-half the time that il can
be done by any other process.
After the steam gauge begins to
show pressure the steam pressure
rises at the rate Of a pound a minute
This is a remarkable performance.
After the steam has reached the de-
sired pressure its further rise is au-
tOmatically prevented
This heater may be used for prOduc-
ing heat OF power. The same heater
may be used for either low pressure
or high pressure steam. The limita-
tiOns which apply to ordinary steam
boilers are not applicable to the fric-

western yards at Council Bluffs. They
were believed to have been tramps
trying to steal a ride, but no clue as to
their identity has been obtained, as
their clothing was practically de-
stroyed. The car was discovered to
be on fire while being switched, and
the cries Of the men for help we're
heard BY trainmen, but all four sue
cumbed to the flames before they could
be reached. The car was filed with
bedding and It is presumed the fire

Horse q Years old At work.

There is a horse in the town or
Boydton, Va, known as Morgan,
which is older than most of its inhabi-
tants- He was fOaled in the month Of
April, in the year 1876, in the county
Of Mecklenburg.
Morgan has no claims to aristoc-
racy, and his pedigree is not recorded
IN the books, but for more than twen-
" years he has been a faithful col
lector OF taxes, his master being the
treasurer of the county to the Ist Of
January last.
Though Morgan is % years OF age,
ne has until now performed all the
duties OF any horse. He has received
no favors because Of age, and has met
every engagement in the time. and
when not engaged in collecting taxes
he was the favOrite driving horse of
the ladies and children of the family.
and in addition hauled his own bed
ding and wood for the winter.
Mr- Wells, MOrgan's master. thinks
his horses lOng life and fitness for
service is due to methodicaI attention

HandIess EiddIer

Frank Clawson is the name of a
singular fiddler of Atlanta, who is
without hands. Many years ago he
was caught in a blizzard and his arms
frozen so badly that both hands were
amputated at the wrists. For a long
time the violin was silent and he SUD-
posed that his fddling days were
over He decided, however, to expert
ment, and, being a mechanical genius.
he made a cOntrivance of heavy wire
which would enable him to WELD the
bow. The lingering was more difficult
but by long practice he trained the
stump of his left hand to make the
necessary shifts from one string. to
another and the varying positions.
With the violin held in place by his
chin and knees and with the help Of
his fngerless arms, Clawson manages
TO play his Old-time selections with
nearly as much skill as he formerly
did.

rheumatism In Utah.

Frisco, Utah, May 2nd.-There is a
great deal Of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring states, and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people
Recently, however, there has been
introduced into Utah a remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint.
The name Of this new remedy is
DOdd's Kidney Pills, and it has al
ready wrought some wonderful cures.
Right here in Frisco there is a case
OF a Mr.. Grace who had Rheumatism
so bad in his feet that he could hardly
walk He tried many remedies in
vain, but DOdd's Kidney Pills cured
him.
His wife says: We both had Kid
ney Trouble, and my husband had the
Rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used DOdd's Kid
ney Pills with much benefit We have
tried many remedies, but none have
done US 50 much good as DOdd's Kid
ney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the state, and II would seem as IL

If you cannot SOW vetch until Sept.
I, do not think it would be as use
ful a cover plant as rye. 1t would
germinate, but the growth possibly
during the limited period between
that time and cold weather would be
comparatively slight It would, under
ordinary circumstances, continue its
growth promptly in spring, but still
I question whether it would be as de-
sirable to use il. If, however, you
could COW the vetch as early as the
first of August, you would have
cover crop worth while; and in this
cover you would secure much more
valuable fertilizing material than in
the rye The rye will add humus,
but as a nitrOgen-cOllectOr, it is not
TO be rated with vetch. Vetch hay
is rather hard to handle. Like clover
it cures slowly, and is almost impOs-
sibIe to cure when the weather con-
ditions are unfavOrable- 1 would sug-
gest that you try a small patch next
year as an experiment. This will be
the best way to answer the question

shows how remarkable the japanese
are and what a wonderful patience
they have. The priest is bearing in
his right hand a staff, to which is
bound a lotus bulb, while in the open
palm Of the left hand he holds a
miniature figure Of himself, exact as
to detail.
Every hair of his head and every
detail Of the body and drapery are
perfect The flowing robes are as
thin as paper. One can almost see
under the finger nails; the arms show
as far as the elbow, inside of the loose
sleeves, eyidencing the wonderful
skill Of the carver and how carefully
he must have done his work to pre-
vent the delicate ivory from breaking

and surface condition of a real tooth.
1t is about seven inches in length

inches wide The roots are perfect.
