The early settlers of the colonies were
commonly led by their minister, but
there were exceptional instances in
which a woman was leader of the en-
terprise. In his recently published ac-
count Of The Mecklenburg Declaration
Of Independence" DIR. Graham tells how
The Scotch-Irish settlers came to North
Carolina. Among them was a minister
OF he name of Alexander, and the
story of his coming is as follows:
Their grievances increasing a few
years preceding the Revolution of 1858,
their ministers imprisoned for holding
fasts, the Alexanders resolved TO seek
quiet and repose in the New World.
On the eve of their departure from Ire
land they sent to Scotland for their old
preacher to baptize their children and
to administer to them the consultations
of the gospel.
rived in time to meet the friends on the
vessel on which they had embarked,
and there held becoming religious SER
vices. An armed company now came on
board, broke up the meeting, and lodg-
ed the minister In jail.
Toward night am old matron adj
dressed her kinsmen:
MEN, gang We away, TAX u minis
ter out o. the Jail, and TAX him, guild
soul, WI us till Ameriky."
Her commands had never been dis
obeyed. Before morning the minister
was on board, and the vessel had pro.
ceeded on its voyage. The minister,
having no family, cheerfully consented
to the arrangement, and with joy and
thanksgiving they landed safely OH

HOW He KILLED HI. Malt

General Wheeler Inc a number of
his colleagues in the service were once
swapping war stories, when Little
Joe" was reminded of one that he had
heard not long before. "a friend of a
veteran of the Union forces once asked
whether the latter. in his term of ser
vice in the Civil War, had ever killed
a man. The Old soldier hesitated q
moment before replying. WELL said
he. Il think that about the only one
was a Confederate at the first battle
of Bull Run. YoJ see, / was footing

Patient to Perfect Health
And Strenuth.

V"'@ A
Mrs. Mary Gagner. of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
Anew years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness. 81

/ could hardly stand, and my head be-
came so dizzy that it seemed as If the
floor vas moving around.
"My condition at last became so bad
that l was obliged to give up work i'm the
mill, and later still / became so feebly
that l could not even attend to ME
household duties. After the slightest
exertion / had to lie down and rest until
l regained strength.
"A friend who had used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urgel me TO
try them. l bought a box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that / continued
to use the pills until / had taken alto
gether six boxes. BY that time ! was
entirely cured, and for two years / have
had no return of my trouble. / am now
in the best of health and able to attend

edge the benefit I received and / hope
that my statement may be the means Of
inducing others who may suffer in this
way to try this wonderful medicine"
The secret of the power of DR.. Will

such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or

Food FIavorx Meat.

The food that animals onsum mod
ifes the character of their flesh. Fur
nips yield a peculiar flavor to mutton.
The flavor of mutton from sheep that
have lived upon the highlands is diff
ferent from that of sheep which have
obtained food chiefly from the lowlands.
The garlic of the meadows and some
fragrant herbs modify the flavor of
the meat. Oily food tends to make
the fat soft. Hens partly fed on scraps
of decayed meat yield eggs that are
at. once unpleasant to the taste and IN
healthy. Feeding the animals for hui
man food is of great Importance and
demands experience. 1t is not enough
that food makes fat-it should also
impart an agreeable flavor.

rhe Garden. shady Nook..


What to plant in the shady part of
the garden, or In the garden which is
all in the shade, as is often the case
in the city, Is a question that perplexes
many. There are few flowers which do
not require sunshine during some part
Of the day. The most suitable material
for planting in the shady places is
found in the wild flowers, many of
which are extremely handsome and cas-
ily cared for.
The solomon seal, canterbury bells
~may-apple, spiderwort, bleeding-heart,
violets and columbines are among the
best wild flowers. Then the ferns may
be relied upon as the best shade-lov-
ing plants we have. Our native maid
enhair does we'll in thoroughly drained
situations. And there are many Gull
tivated flowers which like best the
places where they are protected from
the suns rays. Forget-me-nots, with
their delightful sky-blue flowers, the
little lobelias, compact bushes six
inches high, and the improved variety
Of the cardinal flower, known as the
Queen Victoria, are among them. The
latter Is an exceptionally fine flower
for damp, shady places, and its extrasr-
binary coloring makes it attractive

A farmer who had engaged in grow
ing grain for a number of years Civ

started in the COW business. He has
now quit the latter because 1t called
for much labor and close attention. In
this case it was not the business, but
the man, that was a failure.
1t has beer demonstrated that a
mich COW will eat as much as seventy
five pounds Of green food in a day.
This appears a large quantity, but such
COWS are also producers Of more milk
than cows that eat but little. 1t is no
advantage to have what is termed a
light feeder, as it is impossible for a
COW to yield milk in large quantities
unless she consumes sufficient food
from which to produce the milk.
IT has been shown by statistics that
the average egg yield of the hens of
Canada is n~inety-one eggs per year.
That of the United States is only sixty
nine eggs per year. This comparison
should set every owner of chickens to
thinking. In the first place, there is
no reason why the average egg yield in
either country should not reach $50
eggs per hen. Many fiocks. bred for a
greater egg production, now average

to be an e~xtravagant estimate OF the
