The Amalgamated Association Of
Iron and Steel Workers have done a
good work for temperance by refusing
to sanction strike of 800 skilled men
on account of the discharge of a pud-

working hours. This holds up the
hands Of employers in their efforts to
repress drinking by their employees.

A TENSION BILL.

The Senate Committee on Pensions
has favorably, reported Senator Nc
Cumber's bill for, q service pension.
This provides that when q soldier
reaches the age Of So he will be grant
ed s1s. with SIS at 20 and $40 at IS.
This is along the lines OF -tis bill In
troduced two years ago by Senator Dol
liver at the instance OF the Grand
Army of the Republic in Iowa, and
which was not acted upon at that time.
1t is estimated by the Pension Bureau
that it would increase the pension ap-
preparation about s 10. 100000 yearly for
the first three or four years.
Tho election Of Judge Andrew Ham
ilton by a unanimous vote as President
of the very exclusive club Of Albany.
N. Y. shows how well Americans ap-
preciate real manly man. Judge
Hamilton has been under fire since the
beginning Of the insurance troubles.
and no end of abuse has been showered
upon him as a corruptor of legislators
and squanderer of the money of the
policy-holders. He has been treated
as a fugitive from justice because of
his absence in Europe during the in
vcstigations. Now he comes back,
somewhat late. 1t is true, and seems to
be telling the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. He says
what every one knows. that the insur-
ance business was constantly threat
ened by blackmailers in the Iegisla-
ture, and that II was essential to heau
them off IL necessary by purchasing
| them, and he did so. While it is ex-
tremely reprehensible to bribe Iegisla-
tors. 1t is still more so for a legislator
to be bribed, and the censure ultimate
ly goes back to the people who would
elect such men to the Legislature, Mr..
Hamilton says with entire truth, in all
probability. that every dollar that he
spent in this way was approved by the
directors Of the company, who are now
| sneaking out of their responsibility and
| trying to make him scapegoat. This
he naturally declines being. His testi-
| mony is a much-needed admonition to
the people to be more careful in the
men that they send to the Legislature
and to hold them to a stronger ac-
| countability for what they do when
there. Every one knows that in every
State there have been men elected to
the Legislature whose sole object was
| to fill their pockets by bIackmailine
corporations, and they have taken ad-
vantage Of the feeling of the people
| against the rapacity of corporations to
hold these up and bleed them. We
! must begin the reform in the nominal
| ing conventions and at the ballot box
Only men whose private character is
above reproach and whose career com
mends itself to their neighbors should
be sent by them to represent the peo-
pie in the Legislature. Then what they
do should be Carefully watched and
their acts made, the subject of strict
examination by the people whom they
! assume to represent.

After all, the United States Navy
seems to be very desirable place for
a young man to be. Jack Ferguson
has been making quite a success on the
concert stage as bass singer at SAL

to go into this business. but found that
a theatrical life was not so agreeable,
after all, as one upon a war vessel, and
last week re-enlisted.

The developments in the English
army make our hazing at Annapolis
seem quite tame and comparatively re-
spectacle. A young officer in one of
the swell regiments committed the aw-
full crime of being poor and not having
money to meet the lavish expenditures
expected, whereupon his fellow-oficers
stripped him, sneared him with motor
oil, covered him with feathers and
plastered his hair with jam. Evidently
the British standard for officers and
gentlemen needs immediate elevation.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
o. UnderRoes Wonderful Changes
During It's Growth.

.W
During It's Growth.
The wonderful changes which the hui
man brain undergoes from the moment
when it first appears in the embryo un
til it becomes the perfected laboratory
of thought characteristic to the ma
tared human being has been commented
upon by several of the leading writers
on biology, physiology, etc. During
these successive changes, or, rather
transformations from the lower to the
higher sphere, the human brain not
only takes upon itself the general shape
and form Of the brains OF various rep
resentatives of the lower classes of ami
mails, but appears to have the same
structural constituents, at least to a
certain degree. Thus 1t has been found
that the original germ Of the brain as
1t appears in the human embryo has
the exact outlines of a serpent's thought
factory After that the changes which
take place while the brain is assuming
the various shapes which 1t must un-
dergo before 1t becomes perfect give II
q decided resemblance 20 the brains of
fishes, birds and mammlferouS AMI
mails.
''Hein's Thoughts on the Structure
OF the Human Brain" and Wilson's
Anatomy of the Human Body" both
mention these queer transformations.
as does also Hugh Miller In his famous
work, Testimony of the Rocks" Mil
Ter puts 1t In this way: 'It has long
been known that the human brain is
built up by wonderful process, dur
Ing which It assumes in succession the
form Of the brain Of serpent, a fish,
n bird, and lastly, before 1t assumes the
characteristic human form, 1t takes up
on itself the outline OF a mammiferous
quadruped's BRAIN" Hence the remark
made by scientific writer's that "man is
the sum total of all animals"

STACK COVERS.
4 Very Great Convenience In Hay
and Grain Harvest.

Very Great Convenience In Hay
and Grain Harvest.
On this farm stack covers have been
in use about twenty years and in saw
ing grain and hay have paid their cost
many times over. The two now in use
are ten or twelve years old and are
good for n few years service yet Ii
they were kept for accommodation. to

year, they would be very short lived.
To prevent lending to every one for

proper care 4 small fee Is charged for
use. In haying or grain stacking time
they often can be made to help in
pushing the work to completion as well
as saving hay and grain, says John y.
Jamison in National Stockman.
Stacking can often be commenced
and well under way before rain comes
when If one did not have the stack
covers he would fear to begin the work
on account of the unfavorable weather
prospects. With the covers the work
goes or till evening without fear of
loss by rain and without great rush
and late work to finish the stack or
rick begun. With the covers In reach,
every hour In the day fit TO use in
stacking can be saved
Covers can be put to excellent use in
storing green hay In the barn. Late In
the evening the wagons can be load
cd with tough hay that one feels is
most too green to put in the NOV. The
wagons can be driven to the barn and
can safely stand outside with the Gov
ers over the load. If the sun Is shin
ing in the morning and the covers are
removed the top part Of the load will
soon dry Off Then putting the hay in
the NOW and storing II away will re-
lease much of the heat and prevent a
great deal of heating in the NOW and

LAMBS FOR PROFIT.

lambs in general cannot for some years

In the sheep industry, rs I'm other lines

1t Is in the good animal well prepared

which will return the largest profit, be

bred for the purpose, along the right
lines, and so cared for that every day

Farming is now one of the best ca

out of college or professional school
because of impaired eyesight. voice or

with an air of hopelessness, as if all

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one OF DR..
Pierce's family medicineS-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrappers and their formula
are atteSted under oath as being complete
and correct. You know Just what you are
paving for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing In our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women ana children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for ex-
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties Of its own,
being a most valuable anti-Septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demui-
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part In
DIR. Pferce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling In stom-
ach. biliousnesS and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments. the Golden Medical Discovery
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether OF the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its lucrative
stages it will yield TO this sovereign rem
edy If its use be perSevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, II Is well,
while taking the Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment. to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times day with Dr. Sage'S
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarsepess caused by bron-
ch!al throat and lung affections, except con-
sumption in its advanced stages. the "Golden
Medical Discovery" IS most efficient rem
edy. especially in those obstinate. hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "Dis-
covery is not SO good for acute coughs aris-
ing from sudden colds. nor must 1t be ex,
pected to cure consumption In its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate. chronic coughs which. IL neg
lected, or badly treated lead up to consump-
tion IT is the best medicine that can be taken.

an arrangement similar TO the one
shown in the cut, says correspondent
of Farm, Field and Fireside. This is
very easily constructed at little or no
expense. Any sort of available poles
or sticks may be used, lashed together
with pieces of twine or small wire.
The platform, built ten inches or
more from the ground, permits free
circulation of air underneath and so up
through the pile and prevents the bot
tom layer from molding. BY arrang-
ing cross sticks as shown n cover may
be placed over the top that will pre-
vent rain entering the stacks from
