that would assemble to witness such

common occurrence during the sixth

island was separated from the French
district Of Coutances by a narrow
stream only and that the stream was
bridged by single plank. The inhab-

keep this plank in good repair, for it
was used by the bishop of the diocese

worthy prelate desired to make the
crossing in safety. In the year TOO

Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE
Ladies Home Journal.

Sending truth after lie. 1t is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting it's boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. V. Pierce
and his "Favorite Prescription published
in the May $500 number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings, who never saw the hum
bic, groveling retraction, with its incon-
spicuouS heading, published two months
later. twas boldly charged in the sand-
erouS and libelouS article that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, for the cure Of
woman'S weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingredi-
entS. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for S200, 100 damages
DR.. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent of injuring his
Observation-Disclosures that no alcohol, or
other Injurious. or habit-forming, drugs
are, or tyTer were, contained in his "Fa-
vorite Prescription" that said medicine

Scription.n from eminent chemists. all Of

These facts were also proven In the tffsf 81
the action in the Supreme Court. But the
business of DR.. Pierce was greatly injured by
ha los IF no 1ihnlnns wi
its great display headings. while hundreds of
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re-
traction, set in small type and made as incon-
spicuous as possible. The matter was. how
ever brought before jury in the Supreme
Court of New York State which promptly
rendered a verdict in the Doctors favor.
Thus his traducers came to grief and their
base ISLANDERS were refuted.

Selecting Eggs For Matching,

The selection of the eggs for sitting
is an important matter, says writer
in the Western Poultry Journal. They
should be as fresh as possible, certain
~ not more than two weeks old, and
should they have been carried any dis
lance or be sent by express they must
be carefully laid out on their sides to
rest for tWenty-four hours. Only clean
eggs of ordinary shape and size with
a smooth surface and fairly thick shell
should be used for Matching. Very
small or very large or misshaped eggs
must always be discarded When eggs
for setting have to be purchased OBJ
tain them from a vender of repute and
pay a reasonable price, as it is alto
gether false economy to hatch very
cheap eggs advertised, the value Of
the chickens resulting from the former
amply compromising for the small in
creased cost

BESSEMER STEEL.
Just What 1t Is and What 1t Hns
Made Possible.

Just What 1t Is and What 1t Hns
Made Possible.
Most persons are unaware of the rev.
olution created in industrial circles by
the introduction of the bessemer proc
ess of making steel. This process be-
longs in the same category with the in
vention of the printing press and the
Introduction of the steam engine in its
relation to human progress.
Steel is n compound of iron with q
small percentage of carbon, which Is
rendered malleable by being cast while
in q state of fusion. Cast iron is iron
with a much larger percentage of car
bon and other impurities. BesSemer's
process converts cast iron into steel by
blowing a blast of cold air through
melted cast iron. The oxygen Of the
air burns out the carbon. silicon and
other unwelcome elements until the
right proportion is reached, and then
the steel is cast.
The effect of the process was at once
to cheaper steel and to increase its use
enormously. In 1886, when Bessemer
took out his first patent, steel sold in
England for five times its present
price.
Sir Henry Bessemer shared the COM
mon lot of inventors In encountering
incredulity when his discovery was
first announced, but he was more for
tunate than most inventors. He lived
to enjoy the rewards of fame and for
tune and to witness the worldwide
adoption of his process.
The first beSsemer steel rail ever
laid down was at Derby, England, in
1857. 1t was placed at Il point where
it had been necessary to renew the iron
rails once in three months because of
incessant wear. 1t was not taken up
for sixteen years, during which time
1,250,0O0 trains passed over it.
1t is to the beSsemer process that we
owe the rapid development of our great
railway systems. The giant locomo-
tiveS that draw long trains across the
continent and the steel rails upon
which they run are due to it's discov-
cry. 1t is estimated that the bessemer
process has reduced the cost of land
also greatly cheapened transportation
by water. 1t has opened great tracts
Of fertile country which could not have
been reached otherwise and has given
the farmer good markets. In the de-
velopment of electric railways it is all
the time bringing together scattered
villages and giving new opportunities
for intercourse.
We owe to Sir Henry Bessemer the
improvements in our modern steam
ships, the strength and lightness of
the bridges which cross our rivers,
countless modern forms of machinery
and their cheapened products and the
skyscrapers, which could not have been
built save by the use of steel.-New
York Herald

HOW 70 Keen Hawks Avav.

We have little faith in the ability Of
martins to keep hawks out of the way
and prefer to depend upon some other
plan of frightening the hawks, says
Reliable Poultry journal. We erect
poles about ten feet high twenty to
fifty feet apart and string from the top
Of these wire or heavy Irvine zigzag all
about the poultry yards high enough so
that a man can walk under it conven-
iently. To these strings or wires attach
white and various colored rags or
streamers. This proves an effective
safeguard against both hawks and
crows. Guinea fowls are credited with
frightening hawks. However, we do
not believe that they really do scare
hawks away. They are excellent watch
crs and will set up an awful racket
when hawks. strangers or providers are
about and are valuable for this reason.

Common Sense of Dry Feeding.

The system of dry grain ration for
the young chick, the growing fowl and
the matured hen is simply a common
sense assembling of many kinds Of
grain broken in small particles and

many kinds produce the proper mix
