Books and READING.

II you are to make silk purse, you
must have the silk. You cannot make a
reader of good books out Of any human
material that comes along. You must
catch mind proper for the job. Not
all good minds are adapted to much
reading. You find very able people who
read few books and mostly trash and
people of less ability who read more
and much better ones. You find also
interesting differences in the facility
with which different people take in the
sense of printed words. Some people
from childhood read very much faster
and with less effort than others. Their
eyes seem to connect quicker with their
brains, and their perception of words
and rows of words is almost instanta-
neous. Other people never entirely get
past the need Of pronouncing mentally
each word.-E. S. Martin in Harper's
Magazine.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Private Telephone.

Do boys know that it is possible with
Attle trouble and expense to construct
O telephone without electricity over
witch they can talk for a distance of
from 200 to 400 yards? Here is the
way to do it: Get as much ordinary
ron wire as may be needed of medium
sire, say No. Il by the gauge. 1t must
be pulled taut, and to this end may be
supported at several places. Wherever
1t Is attached. however, it must be
properly insulated, for which purpose
glass or porcelain knobs, such as are
used on window screens, will serve.
1t is not essential that the wire
should extend in straight line from
one terminus to the other, but as many
turns or bends may be made as the in
tervening objects may make necessary.
In every case. however. from one point
to the next, the wire must be pulled
taut. At each end of the line the Wire
should be fastened to tin diaphragm,
fcr six inches in diameter, around the
Ter edge Of which should be soldered
tin lnouthpiece tapering to diane
ter of about four inches at its open
end.-Chicago News.

MAKE IT YOURSELF.
Tells Our Readers How to nix Best
Rheumatism Cure.

/ A Well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
! Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bed time.
| He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harnl-
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, il taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rhematism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without In
juring the stomach. While there DIRE
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless an can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers, if asked to.

A Narrow Escape.

One morning in the summer of 1866
a portion of the Fifth United States In
fantry while on their way to New
Mexico halted on the prairie. They
were 800 strong, and many Of them
were veterans of the civil var. An
ominous sound, like the muttering Of
distant thunder, startled them. Soon
a scout came in and reported that an
immense herd Of buffalo was sweeping
toward the camp. The roar heard by
the soldiers was the rafting Of the
herds hoofs. Soon black mass was
seen bearing down and behind it O
cavalcade of pursuing Indians, 500
strong. They had maddened the buff
falo, hoping to capture the train by
stampeding the frightened animals and
causing them to overrun the soldiers.
Something caused the herd to open be-
fore it reached the soldiers. 1t passed
in two columns, leaving the infantry,
their wagons, mules and horses be-
tween and not 600 feet from either
mass of the maddened beasts. When
the savages saw that their tactics had
failed, even their natural self suppress
sion failed to prevent an exhibition OF
their rage. They rode of in sullen
fury.-Old Santa Fe Trail.

As he finishes he runs up the line
behind the children. The hunter, start

IA front Of the children, hoping by his
superior speed to be able to overtake
the squirrel. If he cannot do this after
he has followed him around the line
twice he may double back. the squirrel
OF course being allowed to double also
until he catches him. They then take
their places in the middle of the line

The Feminine Seasons.

During a local campaign" said O
New York official, Il attended a politi-
cal meeting where one Of the speakers,
a witty Irishman. made continual ref
erence to the changing seasons, which,
I found. he always honored by treating
them as if they were Of the feminine
gender. When you come to cast your
votes in the autumn he yelled. the
autumn who bears the fruits Of the
earth in her outstretched hands, you
will have to think well Of your duties
as citizens of this glorious country"
"'Why is it. I asked afterward that
you spoke of the seasons as if they
were femininey
1.-THE Irishman was for a moment at
q loss for reason.
"sSure.' he said at last, I think of
the seasons as women because they
change and because, no matter which
wan We have, ye wish it was another

His claws were long and pointed. but his
wit was short and blunt.
He begged his wise relation to instruct
him how to hunt,
The cat on velvet pattens stole along the
quiet hill.
"Now, this she whispered, nephew, Is
the way to stalk your kill.
The cat drew up her launches on the
messy forest couch.
sAnd this" she said, my nephew, is the
proper way to crouch.
She hurtled through the shadows like a
missile from sling.
"And that my loving nephew, is the only
way to spring.
Oh, hungry was the nephew, and the aunt
was sleek and plump
The tiger at his teacher made his first
apprentice jump.
He did it very ably but the puss, more
quick than he,
Escaped his clutching talons and ran up
a cedar tree,
To pur upon the snarler from the bough
on which she sat- 4
"EIow glad / am, my nephew, that L
didn't teach you that!''
And since that curtailed lesson in the rudi-
ments of crime

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
rsupposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be CON
stitutiona1 disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure. manufactured by FL. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful, It acts directly on the blood

Farmers Telephone.

The following, which is supp oseG

request that we publish the same:
A neighborhood not far from here
Pat in a telephone last year,
The farmers built rural line;
The instruments all talked up fine.
Every neighbor had his call
Turn the crank and that was all.
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting ling;
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short for old man Scroggs.
Every time the signal rang,
To the phone each farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned and softly took
The reeeiyer from the hook,
Slapped his leg and said, 1T swan,
The phones are lots of fun'',
Mighty nice when work was through
To gossip, for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one.
Mighty nice, but lots more fun
To overhear, some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Somehow in week or two
Troubles dark begin to brew.
Tanners Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Seroggs call him sot;
Farmer Brown seemed angry, too,
Heard Smith telling what he knew.
Smith heard johnson telling lies;
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on some hogs;
Ezra heard some sneaking churl
Making love with his best girl.
Women, too, were in muss;
Raised most outrageous fuss;
Everyone from Scroggs to Jones,
In glass houses throwing stones.
