Mr.. G. B. Fizer, Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes:

Pe-ru-na for Kidney Trouble
Mrs. Geo. H. Sinlser, Grant, On
tario, Can, writes:
''I had not been we'll for about four
years. | had kidney trouble, and, in fact,
felt badly nearly ali the time.
"This summer l got go very bad l
thought would try Peruna, so ! wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
''I took only two bottles Of Peruna
and one OF Manalin, and now feel
better than have for some time.
''I feel that Peruna and Manalin
cured me and made different woman
of me altogether. bless the day l
picked up the little book and read Of
your Peruna."
It Is the business Of the kidneys to re-
move from the blood all poisonous mater
lals. They must be active all the time,
else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assist"
ance.
Peruna is exactly the sort Of q reme-
dy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at a time when they were not able
TO bear their own burdens.

Storing Potatoes.

There is more loss storing potatoes
than in storing any other crop. Barring
all waste from rot, there Is a heavy
shrinkage, both in quantity and weight
A bin holding 100 bushels will show
shrinkage of nearly one-tenth, besides a
greater loss in weight. A bushel basket
full that will weigh fully sixty pounds
in October, when taken from the soil.
will not weigh so much after being
stored In the cellar during the winter.
The shrinkage in weight is much less
when kept In pits closely covered with
earth, for there is then less chance for
evaporation.

Horse Breeding.

To careful observer 1t Is clear that
horses are now better classified than
formerly. Thus the horse that is best
adapted to road purposes is placed at
such work, and the horse that is suited
best to the plow and heavy hauling has
Its own proper work assigned. Hence
the advantage of breeding for pur-
pose. The man who makes the best
success of rearing horses is the one who
clearly understands the situation, and
breeds what is most desirable for his
customers.

Coal Ashes.

In one ton of ashes from bltuminous
coal are 8 pounds of potash, 8 pounds
of phosphoric acid, 90 pounds of lime
and large proportion of waste mat
ter. Coal ashes are said to be about
equal to clay, and are nearly Of the
same composition. They possess little
or no value as fertilizer, but serve
to assist light, sandy soils to retain
moisture, answering the same purpose
as clay. The percentage of potash and
phosphoric acid contained Is too small
in quantity to pay for hauling and
spreading coal ashes on the ground as
a fertilizer. II any benefit Is derived
1t is due to the mechanical effect Of the
ashes on the soil and as an absorbent
material

Grazing ON Rye.

The practice of turning cows on
young rye in the fall is good one, but
when the ground. is very wet damage
may result Grazing the rye causes 1t
to stool, and the young rye provides
late green food; but, while the rye field
may be used for cows in the fall, they
should not be turned on too early in
the spring. 1t does not do so much
harm for cows to change from grass to
rye, as 1t does from dry food in the
spring to young rye,

The imperial card was passed from hand to hand, around the table, and examined with interest; when it reached Jean she exhibited excitement and emotion, but for a time was quite speechless; then she said: Why, papa, if it keeps going on like this, pretty soon there won't be anybody for you to get acquainted with but God" It was not compli- mentary to think I was not acquainted in that quarter. but she was young. and the young jump to conclusions without rehecton.-North American Review.

The market is now on a safer basis than for many months, says Banker Clews in his last letter. Stocks have been somewhat scattered and have fallen into stronger hands than a month ago. The advance of the week seems to have been much stimulated by easier money and by the driving in of shorts; the present low basis of values making it much easier to operate for the rise than for the fall
 The former is likely to be the favorite and more profitable side of the market until a good recovery has fol- lowed the violent collapse of March. Stocks are likely to become scarcer than money-just the reverse of what has been the case for the past six months. This is due to the fact that at least 150,o00 shares a day were taken out of the market in small lots and paid for in full during the ten days of very low prices. This ag- gregates 1.5oO,0 shares. and to- gether with still larger amount bought in 100 share lots for invest ment. has relieved the previously overburdened market of the. stocks that were thrown upon it by foreign and American frightened holders. This relief to the situation. together with the flood of money from the treasury and the return of interior crop funds. insuring an easy money market during the coming summer, forms a good healthy basis for the present auvance and the up move- ment is likely to go still further"

France. it is said. is about to take up the weapons of compulsion and to force this country to reduce duties on manufactures, unless we are to see among other things - prohibitory duties placed on our vegetable oils. which France buys to mix with her olive oil says a writer in New York paper. It is possible that we would survive that act, and that even we might begin to make olive oil our selves of as good flavor and as pure as any that France exports. All Frances exports. as Mir Carey used to say. are highly elaborated. None of them are more so than her wines and her oils. We might dispense with importing both of our own materials. Meanwhile if France prefers to hand our market for her finer wares over to England and Germany she has no obstacle in the way. Let her alter her tariff to our disadvantage. We do not think she will. The talk of her doing SO is but skirmishing for a position, In negotiating with our state depart ment for concessions. These the state department Is always ready to make. It has SO few things to occupy its at- tention that it would be cruel to take from it the pleasure of negOtist- ing treaties of reciprocity with every body who wants one.

With developments in the political situation following one another so rapidly as to bewilder even the most hardened of old-time politicians it is impossible to predict what even the next twenty-four hours will bring forth, says Washington writer. Fortunately for the peace of mind of the people of the country at large, congress is not in session and we are spared the forensic. efforts of those who would surely rush to the attack or defense of the administration if the floor of the senate and house were open to them, and the benches and galleries crowded with auditors. The views of senators and representatives expressed in congress are of some i'm portance and are immediately given wide circulation. When given privately in interviews, congress be- ing out of season, they rarely get be- yond circumscribed field, generally local.

EAGLE WHIPS A MAN.
Then Resumes He Flight With .
 Stolen Lamb.

Frederick Hollenbach, farmer liv. ing on the Schoharie Ridge, near Saeg- ersville, was feeding the gray squir. rels in his woodland when an eagle flew past that had in its talons one of his lambs. The big bird had been annoying the community for month. Many farmers wanted to shoot it. but the game warden threatened to in- yoke the law providing for $250 fine and imprisonment for killing a bald eagle. The eagle was flying low, and thinking he could save the lamb. Mir. Hollenbach struck the bird sharp ly with a stick. The eagle dropped the lamb all right, but instead of fy- ing of made for the man. ripping open his face. his hands and chest with its talons and practically tearing of his clothes. After 1t had Hollenbach ly. ing prostrate in the woods the eagle picked up the lamb and flew on. Hol- lenbach is in bed. with a doctor at- tending him.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Sharu Mister Fox.

About a dozen farmers boys in New Hampshire turned out one Saturday last winter to hunt down fox that was known to have his lair in . hill. Reynard was finally routed out, and after leading the crowd chase of ten miles he doubled back and his trail was lost near a certain farmhouse. Hunters and dogs beat around for two hours and then gave up. When they had departed the fox left the house by a broken window. He had entered the same way and concealed himself in a chimney. There was fireplace but no fire. and no one would have thought of looking for him up there. He was so covered with soot when he got out that he was taken for a black fox.
