GUNS THAT MAKE NO NOISE.

May Make Assassination n Much
Safer Crime to Engage In.
With the modern high-pOwered rifle
great battles not only can be, but nave
been fought without the two armies
engaged getting more than occasional
glimpses Of each other. Now cometh
Hiram Percy Maxim and patents
"muf1ier" for the high-powered rifle. 1t
will, he says, make the gun compare
lively noiseless," and he genially de-
scribes how easy it will be for Skin
mishers armed with such weapons to
work along an enemy's outposts and
shoot the pickets without alarming the
main force or revealing their own po-
sition, says the New York Times.
War has already ceased to be a spec
tacle, and hereafter, apparently, it is
to become as dull for the ear as for
the eye. A silent gun, however, is a
rather alarming thing to contemplate.
Not since bows and arrows went out
of fashionable use elsewhere than at
an occasional lawn party has there
been an engine that would kill at a
distance without attracting the atten-
ton Of everybody in the neighborhood,
and, while this fact has not prevented
all homicide by any means, 1T yet has
had decidedly restraining influence
on the less formal kinds, and in the
days when murder was fairly certain
to be punished by death the noise ne
made in committing his crime brought
many a murderer to the gallows.
One can easily imagine the interest
with which the accounts of Mr.. Max
inns invention will be read in Breath
lit County, Kentucky. There the re-
portless gun, using smokeless powder,
will make assassination as safe as 1t
is popular. There will be many other
demands for the new weapon, but none
Of them that we can think of at the
moment entirely innocent

BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE.

Cures I'm Two Weeks.
"My little daughter broke out all
over her body with humOr, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. 1 called in three doc
tors, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was being eaten away. Her
ears looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and be-
fore 1 had used half of the cake OF
Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment the sores had all healed, and
my little ones face and body were as
clear as a newborn babes. 1 would
not be without it again if it cost five
dollars, instead Of seventy-five cents.

Truf6 and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its componsnt
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

BOUAX, NATURES DISINFECTANT,
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Everybody realizes the necessity OF
some method Of publication Of sinks,
drains and utensils in which. may Turk
the germ Of a dreaded disease.
Health is a question Of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the use
of disinfectants in their ordinary sense
all Of which are unpleasantly asso-
ciated with disagreeable odors, on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which disinfectants must Of ne
cessity be Of a more or less dangerous
purpose and for no other, and in conse-
Quence kept from children and careless
handling.
There is, however, within the reach
Of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only an
swer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for multitude of
domestic cleansing and purifying pur-
poses-Borax.
Borax is a pure, white harmless pow
atory; in fact Borax has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Disinfec-
tant"
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of a SINK or flushed
through a disease-laden drain, cleanses
and purifes it, leaving it clean and
sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, If washed in
q hot solution of BoraX water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all pos
sibility Of contagion if Borax is used
when washing them. Pure as snow and
harmless as salt, and because it can
be used for almost every domestic and
medical purpose, BoraX must be consid-
cred the one great household necessity.

90 BUSHELS OF OATS TO THE
ACRE.

What Mr.. KalteRhEUnner Has to
Say About His Grain Crops in
Central Canada.
Writing from Regina, Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:
''Some years ago took up home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Greek; is low,
level and heavy land. We put in 20
acres Of wheat in stubble, which went
20 bushels to the acre, and 80 acres of
summer fallow, which went % bushels
to the acre. All the wheat we harvest
ed this year is No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first class seed,
for there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out of 160 acres; so acres
has been fall blowing, which yielded 80
bushels per acre, and so acres stubble,
which went 30 bushels to the acre.
These oats are the best kind that can
be raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got % cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month Of Au-
gust before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions. :
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta may be had on application
to any Canadian Government Agent.
whose advertisement appears elsewhere.
He will give you information as to the
best route and what it will cost you
to reach these lands for purposes of
inspection.

Some Things to Remember.


The fact that parrot is green is nc
sure sign that he is not a bird of ripe
experience.
The great drawback about yellow
journalism is not that it is yellow, but
that it is read.
There is nothing so wonderful but
that it might be more so. Niagara, for
instance, would be far more marvellous
if the water flowed the other way.
Many a man is modesty itself until
his children are born. 1t is then he be.
gins TO put on heirs.
1t may be true that money talks, but
it is so frequently tight that its con.
versation is hardly worth repeating.
There is nothing that so destroys
ones pride Of ownership as the early
morning call from the tax collector

Teaching the Drummer.

1t was the custom in the days Of our
old navy for the men to bring to the
mast all the wornout articles which
were to be inspected, handed in and ex-
changed for new. The drummer had
applied for so many drum heads that
the commodore felt sure he was being
imposed upon, and one day set himself
to watch while the band was playing.
AS one rafting martial air followed an
other his anger increased perceptibly
until he broke forth in uncomfortable
rage:
There, now, confound you! 1 see
why you use so many drum heads.
Don't drum in the middle of it all the
time. Drum all over that drum, l tell
you'll"

The Good Time Coming.
There's good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
We may not live to see the day,
But earth shall glisten in the ray
Of the good time coming.
Cannon balls may aid the truth,
But thoughts a weapon strongerI
Well win our battle by its aid
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
The pen shall supersede the sword,
And Right, not Might, shall be the lord
In the good time coming.
Worth, not Birth, shall rule mankind,
And be acknowledged stronger;
The proper impulse has been given
Wait a little longer.
There's good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
War in all mems eyes shall be
A monster of iniquity
In the good time coming.
Nations shall not quarrel then,
To prove which is the stronger;
Nor slaughter men for glory's sake
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
Hateful rivalries of creed
Shall not make their martyrs bleed
In the good time coming.
Religion shall be shorn of pride,
And flourish all the stronger;
And Charity shall trim her lamp
Wait a little longer
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
And poor mans family
Shall not be his misery
In the good time coming.
Every child shall be a help
To make his right arm strongerI
The happier he the more he has
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
Little children shall not toll
Under, or above, the soil
In the good time coming;
But shall play In healthful helds
Till limbs and mind grow strongeri
And every one shall read and write
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
The people shall be temperate,
And shall love instead of hate,
In the good time coming.
They shall use, and not abuse,
And make all virtue stronger
The reformation has begun
Wait a little longer.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
Let us aid it all we can,
Every woman, every man,
The good time coming.
Smallest helps, if rightly given,
Make the impulse stronger
Twill be strong enough one day
Wait a little longer.
