Last Call For Bargains In lr, n.

An enterprising ironmonger IN q
small country town recently posted
the following announcement in
front Of his shop:
"The reason why / have hitherto
been able to sell my goods so much
cheaper than anybody else is that ]
am a bachelor and do not need to
make a profit for the maintenance
of a wife and children. 1t is now
my duty to inform the public that
this advantage will shortly be with
drawn from them, as | am about TO
be married. They will, therefore,
do well to make their purchases at
once at the old rate. London Tel

Gems In Verse

"He That Bslieveth Shall Not Make
Haste"
The aloes grow upon the sand,
The aloes thirst with parching heat;
Year after year they waiting stand,
Lonely and calm and front the beat
or desert winds, and still a sweet
And subtle voice thrills all their veins,
Great patience wins; It still remains
After a century of pains
To you to bloom and be complete"
l grow upon n thorny waste;
Hot noontide lies on all the way,
And with its scorching breath makes
haste
Each freshening dawn TO burn and slay.
Yet patiently bide and stay;
Knowing the secret of my fate,
The hour of doom, dear Lord. 1 wait
Come when II will. or soon or late,
A hundred years is but day.

Largest Woman in Virginia

The death of one of the most re-
markable women in Fairfax coun
ty occurred recently When Mrs.
Jaculine Johnson died at her home
near Langelg. Mrs. johnson had
always been looked upon as the
largest woman in the state, but few
knew her exact size and weight.
The coffin which was six feet long
thirty inches wide and twenty in
ches deep, had to be built to order
in Washington. Ten pall-bearers
were required to carry the body to
the hearse. Mrs. Johnson's weight
was about 500 pounds. She was
sixty years old, and is survived by
one daughter and one son.

SOME REAL VAUES
Many of Our Greatest Blessings
Are the Commonest

Are tile (OmmOneSt
Not all values, nor even the best,
are measured in dollars and cents,
says the Richmond Journal.
Some things are worth what
they will bring in che market, and
their prices are regulated by many
circumstance and considerations.
The intrinsic value Of q bushel
Of wheat depends on the necessities
to which it ministers and the uses
to which it is commonly put. A
bushel of wheat contains specific
amount of the elements of the
daily food required for the sus-
tanning of human life.
But intrinsic value is not market
value. The former remaining fixed
and certain; the latter may change
every day, The market ductuates
with the condition of supply and
demand, and the price goes up or
down accordingly.
The value of a certificate of
stock depends upon the capital,
tangible property and productivity
of the corporation.
All these values are measurable
and may be definitely expressed in
figures. These are the values most
of us strive for all our lives.
But they are by no means the
things of most value to us.
Bread mas it's intrinsic and its
market value, but back of that and
higher than that is the value of
digestion.
Bread brings no Joy to the
dyspeptic. True,it keeps him alive {;
but the keeping alive is only the
prolonging of his misery.
GOOD digestion cannot be bought
and sold. Therefore, we fall to
appreciate its value. We will work
hard all day to gain bread to eat,
when we will not give five seconds
thought to keeping the stomach in
right condition to digest it.
When the poor boy is making his
fortune he does not realize that
his happiness are largely due to
his plain living. Grown rich, he
eats eight or ten courses-that is,
he does until they carry him into
the graveyard.
Health and happiness are not
listed IN tine market reports, and
hence many millionaire has for
gotten to invest in them; though
nothing in the world pays bigger
dividends on smaller investment.
That the highest happiness lie
inexpensive-that it has, in fact,
no market price-is seen in the
fact that mans chief pleasure
comes from mental and moral
culture.
Such pleasure is not fiery nor
consuming.It is gentle pleasure,
like that experienced when we
listen to high music or look at a
rich sunset or behold a mountain
side golden with autumnal SPLEEN
dor.
1t need not be college culture,
for the time is gone forever when
culture is limited to colleges.
The most precious things in the
world are for the rich and the
poor alike. ALI that is asked of US
is the hunger for the feast of bless
ings that God and nature hath pro-
vided.
The fountain that bubbles on
the hillside is free to lark and
eagle alike, and the fountain of
content bubbles free in every
human heart that will only drink
Of it.

Mixed Theology.

A group of small girls turned
their attention from their dolls for
a few minutes to comment upon the
religious beliefs Of their respective
parents. Several denominations were
represented, according to the cen
sus, and the count narrowed down
TO the seyen-year-old daughter of
an active member of the leading
Presbyterian church in the district.
'FWhat church does your papa and
mamma 60 to, Ethel2" asked the
most inquisitive of the members Of
the company. Ethel answered:
Papa don't go to any church.

Love and Friendship.

Love and Friendship.
Love IS like the wild rose brier;
Friendship like the holly tree.
The holly Is dark when the rose brioy
blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly
The wild rose brier is sweet in spring;
Its summer blossoms scent the air,
Yet wait till winter comes again,
And who will call the wild brier fair7
Then scorn the silly rose wreath now
And deck thee with the holly's sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.

THE CALF.
Most Rigid Selection Should Be Made
in Adding to Herd.

The most rigid selection, according
to dairy standards, should be made
among the calves as they come into
profit, those being retained which
will raise the average performance OF
the herd. When it is necessary to in.
troduce a new sire, he should be
of the same type and personal quail
tiles already determined upon as the
id cal for the herd Constant records
should be kept of the work of every
individual animal, in order that rea.
sonable treatment may insure the
greatest profit, and this is only pos
sible when the owner is personally
familiar with the characteristics and
performance of every COW.
Personal comfort, cleanliness, light
air, exercise and water, are as neces
sary as feed. Frequent examinations
should be made by a competent in.
spector to make sure of the health
of the herd and any animals found
suffering from infectious or conta.
gious diseases should be Immediately
removed to hospital stalls for proper
care. With such reasonable treat
ment a pure bred herd will prove
itself the best investment that the
intelligent farmer can make, and will
be a source of constant satisfaction
and pride.

Dairy Facts.

Don't overdo the milking tube act.
The hand-separator business has
steadily increased during the past ten
years.
1t is impossible for a cow to be two
opposite things, dairy COW of the
highest type and beef animal of the
greatest possible value.
The control of moisture in butter is
not possible without the control of
churning temperatures. Ice and ther-
mometers are necessary for the max.
ing of butter under proper conditions.
The New South Wales Farmer and
Settler tells of a New Zealand farmer
who holds the record as a mixer. For
a considerable time he and his wife
milked 72 cows night and morninl
without keeping any hired help, their
family consisting of one small child.
We are told that the farmer and his
wife were healthy and robust-which
they need be-and fine specimens OF
humanity.

Partisan Meat Supply.

The last year for which complete
statistics concerning the meat sup
ply of Paris have been published is
1903. From the reports of that year
1t appears that 267,027 cattle, 274,390
calves and 2,047,770 sheep were
slaughtered at the city abattoirs and
produced 156,007,S5O Kilograms (or
327,616,485 pounds) of meat, of which
123,712.180 kilograms (259, 9,795,573
pounds) were consumed in Paris, and
32,292, $50 Kilograms exported. Some
of the choicest of French beef goes to
England, where the fillets and other
prime cuts are in demand for clubs,
hotels, and the best class of restau-
rants. During the same year there
were killed 2S2 sos hogs, which yield
ed 27,657,350 Kilograms (58,0S0,435
pounds of pork, and 29,370 horses,
which furnished 7,305,650 Kilograms
(or 15,341,8 ,865 pounds) of meat, all of
which was consumed in Paris.

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs
Ready to Hatch.

A correspondent from Safi wrote in
our June issue expressing his mysti-
fication as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says:
"If tn wild ducks, ETC., of Morocco
are sir liar to those elsewhere there is
no mystery. For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfish could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie river in New South Wales.
I'm some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filled the
dam than the fish were observed, and
the farmers started large theory Of
spontaneous production.
This obtained till Sydney profes-
sor CHANGED to pick up a wild duck
and found its breast feathers and
webbed feet well dotted with fertile
and almost hatched fish-ova, on which
the spontaneous production theory
was promptly withdrawn" = Cham

Airs. III. Wriahf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that | ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me- / was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays l began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks ] was well woman. | have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Wouldn,t Eli.

Some visitors from the north at
tended service at colored church In
Alabama and were much amused when
the good old preacher referred to
John l. and John II. as John with one
eye and John with two eyes!"
But when he gave out hymn be-
ginning Purge Me with Hyssop,"
there was CONSERVATION in the choir
and great fumbling around for a tune
to fit the words. At last the leading
chorister addressed the preacher:
