BERRIES FOR MARKET.
4 Pays to Raise Them, Provided the Crop Is Disposed Of in the Right
 Way and Place.

Having been asked, by farmer sub scriber, if it will pay to grow berries for market, in reply I will say "yes'- if the business is managed right, and the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get If any, are second class-the overflow or refuse from the cities, where the market Is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the berries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the south, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their ber- ries get ripe the demand Is supplied. prices drop, and the berries being per- ishable product, have to be sold for what they will bring.
 My advice Is to grow berries for local market towns that are not we'll supplied Such places can be found in the west; land can be bought for less than half that close to large cities, pickers are cheap. and. as . rule, more reliable Berries that get too ripe on account ot rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home market; all the rough handling of the railroad men. shipping expenses, commissions. etc.. are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome. home grown berries, they often get twice as many, and the growers in the local market often can regulate the price.
 It Is a mistake to plant too large an acreage. We have to pay two cents a quart for pickers; one cent for straw berries and blackberries and one and one-half to two cents for raspberries The pickers can make good wages. { have had boys and girls under 16 years old make dollar a day. I, IS years ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw berries in day. remember selling i've dollars worth of raspberries from one picking off one row the length of ten acres. Blackberries, F or more years ago. were not profitable, as so many grew wild; but of late years, growing blackberries has become more profitable

The Right Way of Pruning.

To prevent injury to the tree, saw one- fourth or one-third through on the under side. and then saw on the upper side, or, with very large lim bs, to have them sup ported by crotched pole, held by an aA- ststant below.-N.

ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from Uncle After Serving Three
 Years as Soldier.

"That he shall serve at least one full term of not less than three years in the ranks of the United States army charge shall read: Service honest and faithful character excellent and shall have reached the grade of a noncommis- stoned officer and bring to the executors I herewith appoint a letter of com- mendation from the officer under whom he served, I bequeath to the said George o. Travis the sum of $130, 900, knowing that, after such service, he will have had enough experience of the world and disciplinary training to insure the proper disposal of what has taken me a lifetime to accumulate"
 Such are the terms of the will of the late S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi cago, made to his nephew, George O. Travis, telegraph operator of Okla homa. The other day the young man became of age and appeared at the Unit ed States army recruiting office and en- listed for the purpose of carrying out the dying request of his uncle.
 Mr. Houston was an old soldier, hav- ing served in the civil war in the Fourth United States artillery. Unable to con- tinue an army career, Houston, having no sons of his own, was determined that his next of kin, his nephew, should be- come soldier.
 Young Travis said it was not neces- sary for his uncle to make that clause
 
 United States army compulsory for him, as he had always intended to enter the army as soon as he was 21.

Tired Nervous

When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vii tality is low-your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power,
 The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and in- stead of throwing off the i'm purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery.
 Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous.
 My wife suffered with nervousness previous to recent attack of typhoid fever. but after her recovery from the fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceed ingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had good nights rest. She also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles Nervine was recom- mended by friend. After the first three doses she had a good nights rest. and at the end of the first weeks treatment she was wonderfully inn proved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure"

A Hole with a Future.

An English engineer proposes to find out what is in the interior of the earth. He will do this by digging hole F miles deep, provided with air locks and cool ing apparatus.

900, and that it would require 85 years to accomplish it. This shaft, cut down into the earth, would represent the equivalent of a hole one foot deep in mass 666 feet thick. It would solve many questions that the scientific knowl- edge of the world has left unanswered, yet 1t would investigate only the crust and leave thousands of miles of the in- terior mass still untouched.
 The amount of compression at the globes center should, to some extent at least, define the character of the mass of which 1t Is formed. It is argued that the great mass of the interior of the earth is solid. Against the contention that the planet, under . crust 25 miles thick. is a mass of fiery liquid is arrayed ths fact of the known density of the globe That density in the earth's entirety is about 5.5 times the density of the water that covers three-quarters of the sur- face.
 The assumption of a comparatively thin crust requires. according to Sir William Thompson. that this crust should have rigidity possessed by no known substance. The sun exerts such strain upon the substance of the earth that the planet could not maintain it's shape as 1t does, he maintains unless the supposed crust were at least 2,000 or 2,500 miles in thickness.
 There is gradual increase in the tenn perature while penetrating the surface of the crust This increase in some To- calities is as rapid as one degree for each 56 feet of descent; in others one degree for 75 to 85 feet.
 In the Comstock silver mines of Ne vada, at depth of 3,065 feet, water has a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren- heit The deepest excavations in the earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop- per mines in Michigan, where the longest perpendicular shaft goes down 4,900 feet, while one of the standing shafts is more than 5000 feet in length.
 There are in these mines 250 miles of lateral galleries Colossal engines are required to ventilate the immense sub terranean city and to keep the tempera- ture endurable in the lower levels. All deep mine borings prove how stupend- ously difficult would be the task of de- scending below the mile level.
 At the lowest rate of increase in the temperature in penetrating the earth the heat at the depth suggested by Mir. Par sons, F miles down, would be 800 de- grees Fahrenheit. This heat though far from the fusing point of wrought iron, (3,280 degrees), would render the use of tools, even if the lower borings of the shaft were constructed as they are in oil wells, a difficult process. It would defy the most colossal scheme of artificial re- frigeration to render such depths avail- lble for entrance by human beings.
 No considerations of commercial ben- eft enter into the plans of Mr. Parsons in suggesting the Emile boring into the crust of the earth. It is a scheme purely ir the interest of scientific knowledge.

INTERESTING HISTORY OF PRES
BYTERIAu SABBATH SCHOOL
READ LAST NIGHT.

The 10th anniversary of the Pres
lyterian Sabbath School was cele
brated at tie anniversary services at
tie Fret Presbyterian Church last
evening and an interesting history of
the school was lead by the present
superintendent, J. Walter Barnes. The
early history 0f the, school was unre-
corder so the facts are meager. The
only source Of information is as Ii
has been transmitted from older to
younger generations and now exists in
their memories. The frs school was
held at the house on the farm of John
Hall near the city. After two years it
was moved 10 school house near the
Evansville wooden mills and later to
ar old horse mill in the same town.
In 1880 II was again removed to the
Presbyterian Church at Middetown, now
Fairmont. though the church edifics
vas not yet completed. Then followe..
an interesting history of the school
down TO tie present time IL which the
names of many old residents OF Fair
mont appeared.
There was no report given of the C.
E. Society, for the reason that no rec
ord of the organization could be found
The secretary's book seems to have
been lost or destroyed. We are in
formed. however, that the society was
organized IN 1890 with about five (5)
members. IFS growth has been steady

holding the work back is the lack OF

suspension bridge at that place, like
our own, Is not strong enough to &C.
commodate a railway. Before com.
mencing the road he wants to see u

how the Morgantowners feel about it.,
but we know one thing and that is that
II they knew what an advantage such
road would be to them-if they
knew what a feeder It would be to
their town and the wealth It would add
to both it and their county they would
let no such an obstacle stand in their
way as that old suspension bridge
Fairmont Is greatly handicapped by
such a structure, but it won't be long
until new bridge will be seen in its
place. The piers for 1t have already
been built. We hope to hear of new
