from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for woman's dis

friends as has Lydia L Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
1t has relieved more cases of Back

any other one remedy. 1t dissolves

Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-

yield to it; also deranged organs,

Antonius Aurelius, king Of Arau-

dynasty, had once his day Of fame.
He was the man who would be king,
and for a short time he was one.
Aurelius began life as an ambitious
Frenchman; he ended it as a Ger
man under the name Of Herr Won
Tonneins, dying in great poverty at
Marseilles, but for brief period in
the ffties of the last century ne
was king over the Araucanian In
dams in South America. When
Won Tonneins founded his mon
arehy he found it necessary to have
his court, so he travelled over to Ed
rope and created his own orders and
titles. Then he reigned till his
court was broken up by the govern
ment of Chile, and Aurelius as
roi en- exile returned to Marseilles.

of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of each 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical

assume that 800 pounds of meal

PROFANITY.
orowth Of Refinement Win End Its
Now Declining Use.

Words and phrases which are am
ply sufficient for the understanding
are often altogether inadequate for
the expression of the feelings. The
result of this mental dissatisfaction
with the communication of mere
knowledge is most conspicuously il
lustrated in the wide prevalence of
profanity.
Into the discussion of this prac-
tice its moral and religious aspect
does not enter at all. 1t Is purely
from the linguistic side that it is
here to be considered.
So looked at, its existence and
the extent of the indulgence in it
bear out the truth of the principle
Just announced. Whatever intel
lectnal justification there may be
for profanity is based upon the fact
that men are aiming to state strong
" what the. feel strongly.
The habit is in con, eQaence sub
ject to tie general law governing
intensivcs. To a very great extent
the practice of swearing is specially
Characteristic Of a rade and imper-
feet civilization. With the advance
Of culture profanity declines.
1t declines not 50 much because
men become peculiarly sensitive to
its viciousness, but they do to its
inefectiveness. The growth Of re-
fnement both in the individual and
in the community tends more to its
disuse than all the exhortations OF
moralnts or the rebukes Of divines.
Much must always be allowed in
the case Of particular persons for
the influence Of early training and
association. Exceptions are,- there
fore, too numerous to lay down any
positive rule. Still it Is safe to say
in general that mans intellectual
development is largely -detesmined
BY the extent Of bis indulgence in
profanity.
No one, indeed, doubts it's wide
prevalence at the present time. But
compared to the practice Of the past
it has been steadily, even if slowly,
diminishing for centuries. This
does not prove that men are better
morally or intellectually than they
were.
It does show, however, that there
exists now a higher average OF cul-
tivation which renders the habit dis
tasteful to increasingly large num-
bers.-Harper's.

the death of a hound killed on the

self upon the following points:
Said dog was chasing rabbit up

Said rabbit lived on defendants
right of way and was therefore the
property of the defendant.
Plaintiffs dog was trespasser
