a Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grOunded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits. and made
them Remedies of KuOaU7l Composition.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.

The Goat.

The following item, from Home and

those who find it difficult, often i'm
possible, to obtain a supply of good
milk:
The goat is being given more and

small scale, in the different parts of
the country.

city today and had to have milk for a
baby, would keep a goat or two, yet
not as a nuisance to my neighbors,
but in a sweet, clean stall. There
would then be no worry about a milk

The bureau Of plant industry of the
United States department of agricul
ture is now about to turn it's attention
to the scuppernong grape and it's re-
lated varieties. The scuppernong,
when the vines are we'll nourished and
the berries consequently large, is an
excellent table grape and the Thomas
is even better. But they are capable
of Improvement, like all fruits, and
probably will respond readily to ex-
perimentation. If the national depart
ment takes hold of the matter, with

the people through your columns.
The varieties of this species are at
present coarse and undeveloped, but
they are already of no little impor-
lance both for wine and amateur pur-
poses, while they are becoming of still
more Importance due to the fact that
the ''bunch grape varieties are sub

which render them of little Importance
commercially. The scuppernong be-

place of the more delicate varieties of
other species not only to sup
plant them but the prospects for de-

the South Atlantic coast region are

The object of the department is to
first collect all promising varieties and
wild forms and make tests of them
and if possible improvement on them
by breeding.
Such work, like the beginning Of

cows TONGUE SAVES LIFE.
Licks Unconscious Owners Face and
Pulse Until He Revives.

Sayre, Pa.-Simon Worster a farm
er on the Elliston road, believes that
he owes his life to a friendly COW
which he was fattening for the butch
er. He fell unconscious in his barn
at about three o'clock in the afternoon
and at six he was brought to his senses
by his old COW standing over him and
licking his face.
The animal had apparently been do
ing this during all the interim, for
when he recovered consciousness his
wrists were all aglow from the rough
coat of the cows tongue. His doctor
said that the animal had saved his
life; that the constant rubbing of her
rough-coated tongue against his face
and on his pulse had restored respira-
ton.
Instead OF the bovine healer being
slaughtered she will live in pastures
green and by cool waters as long as
she breathes.

Child Strikes Aside Poison Offered

Norfolk, va-A baby's whim that

a powder that the mother was about
to give to the child saved the latter's
life. Mrs. Frank Eberle had sent to
druggist for medicine for her four
months-old infant. When the medi-
cine arrived the mother opened one of
the powders and started to pour it on
the tongue of the baby. The child was
waving its arms, and before any of
the powder touched it's tongue it
knocked the paper from the mothers
hand. Mrs. Eberle called for another
powder. and was in the act of placing
it in the baby's mouth when she
heard the servant crying at the top
of her voice:
Mrs. Eberle. don't give the baby
that medicine"
The maid repeated the warning as
she hurried upstairs. She informed
Mrs. Eberle the druggist had tele-

Three Great conversationaIIsts.

The three greatest conversational
lists with whom 1t has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these. DR.. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point Of wit. sarcasm. anecdote and
narrative Of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like illumination of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic-
ton. such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
power of fascination.-Carl Schurz.
