The FOLLY OF Chnnre.

A California judge told the following
story: Montana Jack, a highwayman
prosecuted and convicted while was
district attorney, was great humor-
ist The day he received his sentence
the judge asked him whether he had
anything to say against sentence being
passed upon him. Jack admitted that
he had no protest to make, but that he
would like TO say few words TO the
young men in the courtroom. Consent
was given, and Jack spoke as follows:
"'Boys, my advice to you is to stick
to whatever you are dom. Don't
change your occupation or you'll never
get along in the world. Look at me-

ORIGIN of nnnhres.

Bonfres are a survival of the rites
of Baal and Moloch. When Christian
ity ruled old ways and customs could
be abolished, and so the heather, still
hankering after the ancient delties. but
half controlled by pope or bishop, made
their bonfires on the eve of st. Peter
or ST. John. one use of bondres in the
not 50 far distant past was as means
of dlsinfecti0n. In his History of the
Plague Defoe tells Of bonfres in Lon
don streets. There IS reason to suppose
that in klndling such fires there was
still remnant Of superstition left. 1t
was in a measure a sacrifice to Baal.
As to the excellence Of the method of
making fires TO drive away a plague
the benefit would be questionable.
Anyhow 1t may be dwelt upon as the

FARMERS WANT INFORMATION.
Sharp Increase in the Demand for
Agricultural Publications.

OF the growth of the publication
bureau of the department of agricul-
ture for the year 1906, Secretary Will
son says:
The work Of publication continues
inevitably to increase with the growth
II the department. The total num-
er of publications issued in 1906 was
III. aggregating nearly 13,50O,O0O
copies; of these more than 6,50O.000
copies were farmers bulletins. The
number of these bulletins distributed
during the year on congressional or
ders aggregated 5,279,476.
The increased demand for the pub
lications Of this department has been
so rapid as to compel the virtual
abandonment of gratuitous distribu-
tion Of all save farmers bulletins and
circulars.
The sale of government publica-
tions. especially of this department.
by the superintendent of documents
continues To grow; out Of n total Of
75,S2S government publications sold
during the year, 47.745 We're publica-
tions OF the department Of agriculture
The superintendent Of documents
has also, under the law authorizing
him to do so, reprinted. with the ap-
proval of the head of this department
i3 department publications, in order
to satisfy the continued requests of
purchasers. Under this law these re-
prints are paid for from moneys re-
ceived by the superintendent of doc
uments from the sale of the publica-
tions OF this department.
A great demand exists for the de-
partment publications for use by edu-
cational institutions as text books. An
effort has been made hitherto to sup
ply all such requests but, as they in
volve supplying whole classes of stu
dents, it takes large number of pub
lications to satisfy this demand. In
many cases the number desired is so
great that the parties themselves de-
sire the privilege of purchasing hun
dreds and sometimes thousands of
copies. The secretary recommends
some modification of the law, facili-
tating such purchase.

TO EUROPE VIA HUDSON BAY.
IL Feasible VIII Save 1000 Miles OF
Ocean Travel.

Quebec. Nov. 3O.-The proposed
new route to Europe via Hudson Bay
is attracting considerable attention in
the Canadian northwest. Should the
proposed route be worked 1t will be
the means of bringing Canada 1000
miles nearer to Europe and by the
saving of price will give the farmers
of western Canada practical control
Of the grain markets of the world.
Up to the present eight railroads
have applied to the Dominion govern
ment for charters for lines to Hudson
bay from various points in the interior
of Canada and some of them are now
being built from the south and west.
An enormous country will be tapped
by these lines and Notwithstanding
the fact that the season in the bay
only lasts from July to October 1,
the shorter railroad haul will give
such inducements that heavy traf-
fic can easily be developed. Huge
storage elevators will have to be erect
ed at the end of the railroad lines but

been made with the company's agent
for fuel at $S a ton, sufficient money
being put up to reimburse the road
for the amount of coal pilfered. In
other cases the populace has convert
ed the fuel to its own use without
payment.
The railroad officials are apparent

the qualification of voter to place his name on the great register before the time shall have passed for doing so.
 Up to the present time great many have failed to offer their names for registration to the registering officers and the time now remaining for regis tration is growing short. The law provides that registration must close twenty days before the election which occurs this year on November 6. Only those can vote whose names are on the great register, no matter what other qualification they may possess. We have always believed that it was q useless duty to compel a voter to have his name registered every two years, but this is the law and until

.Mrs. Gzes/erIuri.y

A nervous, irritable mother. often on the verge of mysteries, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposi- tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly.
 The ills of women act like firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration. ner- vous despondency. "the blues," sleep lessness. and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying?
 Do you feel something like a ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound {; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia. and almost continually cross and snappy?
 If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration,
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra- tion than Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege- table Compound; thousands and thou sands of women testify to this fact. ksk Mrs, pinkham'S AdyiCe-A WOm

 In the incorporated cities of the county voters should not get the idea that because they have registered in the city they will be entitled to vote in the general election in November. The city registration has nothing to do with the county register. Your name must be placed on the county register or you cannot vote in Novem- Der.
 Each justice of the peace in the county is registering officer and be- sides several special registration of ficers have been appointed in the county.
