DISASTROUS WREOKs.

Carelessness is responsible for many a
railway wreck and the same causes are
making human wrecks of sufferers from
throat and lung troubles. But since the
advent of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds, even the
worse cases can be cured, and hopeless
resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs.
Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mass, is one
of many whose life was saved by DR..
Kings New Discovery. This great

now that alfalfa is about two feet

STRICT ATTENTION TO SIGNS
Farmers of Dutch Descent in Seneca

Rochester Post Cypress: The farm
ers of the township of Fayette adj
joining Waterloo, are largely of Penn
syvania Dutch origin They are a
hardy and thrifty race. and for general
intelligence compare favorably with
their ncighbors of Anglo Saxon stock
They are however, full of the quaint
superstitions and rural folklore of their
leutonic forefathcrS. and many inter-
esting stories are told by Fayettn peo-
pie illustrating the length to which the
good Dutch ycomanry go in their de-
Notion to the signs" in the conduct of
their farms and the routine of their
lives.
In all earthly matters the almanac
seems to be their bible and the moon
and the considerations are as really ven
Grated, though in a different way, as
they were by their yellow haired an
cestors along the shores of the North
sea. Not only in the filling of their
land. but in all the minute concerns of
their daily lives, the signs must be
right before anything is done, or---"woe
betide."
If a cheese is to be cut. It must be
done in the increase of the moon, or,
by the same token. it Will fade away
with incredible rapidity before the
daily demands OF the family, who will
yet derive mirurulously scanty nutri-
ment therefrom: whereas if, in ubeli-

their places. The swine must not be
slaughtered with disregard for the stel-
lar divinities, or the pork will dwindle
in the barrel as If an army corps We're

In the sowing. filling and harvesting

STORY or A FOX FARM.
Success Secured by Maine Man in This
Experiment.

New York Tribune: Starting a fox
farm was a kind of wild goose scheme,
SO Elijah Norton, the originator of the
project frankly acknowledged, as he
spent a great deal of money on the
undertaking. His success. however,
not only proves the excellency Of his
judgment, but his experiment Is at
tracing wide attention.
+; The fox farm experiment began
about five years ago. Mr.. Norton owns
+ a tract of several hundred acres about
forty miles from Bangor, Maine, two of
! which are devoted to the fox farm and
are enclosed with a wire fence ten feet
| high. AS the foxes will climb to that
| height, he saw to 1t that the fence at
the top turned in and projected over
| the enclosure about two feet thus pre-
senting an etfcctual barrier to their
escape.
Mr.. Norton dug a trench and filled 1t
with stones, so that underneath every
inch OF the wire fence about the en-
closure there is a stone wall. Then he
cut the fox farm up into twelve lots OF
different sizes, putting up a well built
house on every lot. with a yard rum
ming all the way around: the houses
In every instance being provided with
a comlnodious chamber. In the summer
uinc the inmates of the fox farm pre-
Ter thelr own burrows. But at the first
suggestion of cool weather they take
to the handmade dwellings,, showing
marked preference for the second floor
apartments.
Il started my farm with six blue
foxes, said Mr.. Norton. bringing them
from Alaska TO Seattle by boat, and
from there by express. Now | have
httE or more. II cost me just Sl05.S0
10 get my six foxes to the farm. But
they have paid for themselves, express
charges and all, several times over"
FOXES at the farm become less shy of
strangers after the cool weather sets
! II. With their owner and every mem
Der of his family they have learned to
De perfectly at their ease. Appearing
from a burroW or coming down from
their upstairs room, they scan the new
conner curiouSly. on closer acquaint-
ance with them it is easy to discern
mat the farm foxes also lack the hard,
crafty expression usually seen in the
regular wild type. They seem every
way more attractive and possessed of
4 pleasanter disposition.

owner or his young son VIII guide the

The care of the fox Is not difficult
Anything chat Il cat or a dog Will eat

Support for PuoiIistic P.rson,

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky tells
of a good old Methodist minister in his
state in the pioneer days who was a
considerable scrapper, and of whom It
was said, "Unrestrained by divine
grace Parson johnson can whip any

This good old man. says the sena-
tor. mixed muscular power with saw
ing grace. and often said that he did
not believe the Lord intended that any
man should be a coward simply be-
cause he was a follower OF the Nazar-
enc. He was good man. but it was
unsafe to step on his coattnil. and the
people both loved and feared him.
"One day after the parson had found
1t necessary to administer fistic punish
ment to several young toughs who per-
sisted in disturbing the meeting at one
OF the churches which lie served, one OF
of his flock, noted as being something
of hard hitter himself, got up in meet
ing and said:

was instituted to recover possession of Il
cemetery. The plaintiff was an incor-

ant q young practicing physician.
~ he plaintiff showed that the defend
ant. as one of committee appointed by
the church to purchase the ground for
the cemetery. had Il falling out with
some OF tho brethren, and had taken tho
ittle 10 the ground in his own name and
claimed to keep the promises himself.
The defendant insisted that he had
bought the ground in his own right after
his relations to the society had ceased .
that the hurying ground was his Individual
property, and Che church society had
nothing TO do wifi. tt
