absence Cure" Works Wonders in
Cases Of Conjugal Jars.

When symptoms set In of an out
break of conjugal jars-which may

husband or wife to go off on a solitary
holiday for a few days, to let the

If two persons start jangling and
getting on one another's nerves, an

Don't discuss your grievances with
the hostess; calm down, forgive and
forget, and stay away till you can re
turn in love and kindness.

Plant Well Equipped.
The present plant also has adequate
boiler capacity to supply their newly
acquired business and the plant is
ideally able to meet the new demands
made upon it. Not only Lowell will
be supplied with current and power
from the local station but Cedar Lake
will also come under the arrangements

Got Their Franchise.
The management has secured from
chises for terms of twenty five years
from the county and a ten year option
from the Lowell town board, and will
commence their operations at once.
Manager Keeney. in making a rough
estimate of the money to be spent in
| financing the new deal, says that in
the nsighborhood of one hundred or
one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars will have to be spent to put the
plant in operation.
| Directors Are JubiIant.
The directors here are jubilant over
their newly acquired business, claiming
that 1t is one of great possibilities and
be the means of bringing quite little
money into the town, as extra men will
have to be engaged at the plant &c
keep it in operation.
Operations will be commenced on the
line as soon as possible and the man
agement hopes to be supplying Lowell
| and Cedar Lake with the juice before
snow flies. The present plant at Low
ell will be kept in operation until th'
Crown Point concern is ready to turf

be dismantled.
Great Import TO Lowell.
The new deal is one that is of ad
vantage to the town of Lowell and tn
local concern, giving Lowell efficien

states that the new business will ne

Puzzle of DomlcIie.

W. E. Murchison of Jonesboro en-
joys the unique distinction of having
lived in four different counties and
yet moved his residence only once.
That seems a puzzle. but it is quite
simple. He was born and reared in
Cumberland, and when Harnett was
created out of Cumberland he found
himself in Harnett. Afterward he
moved to Moore county, and when
the county of Lee was formed a few
months ago he found that he was re-
siding in Lee.-Fayetteville Observer

Old Persian City.

Persia's ancient city of Tabriz, one of the scenes of recent violence in the shahs dominions, can hardly be said to have ever enjoyed a quiet life. When Turk and Turcoman and Per sian were not shaking the old walls with battering rams the earthquake was having it's inning. The public buildings bear traces of this sort of violence notably the Kabud Masjid blue mosque-constructe of won derfully arabasqued blue tiles; while the citadel gapes with it's earthquake riven sides. Although the Anglo-In dian telegraph runs through the city it is not as in the ancient days when it was known as the glorious Tauris. v The new Russian railway has deprived it of much of it's importance and the leather merchants and silversmiths eke out a precarious livelihood by en gazing in littld smuggling.

 Adventurous Monarch.

Kings, as rule, do not take up new hobbies when they are on the wrong side of 50, but the king of Wurtem- burg is not of this class, as may be seen from his airship adventures. But he nas always been in favor of prog ress on political and scientific lines. and his interest in cloud journeys is by no means of recent date. Perhaps more monarehs would indulge in ad ventures of this kind-if they were permitted. It may be remembered that when King Edward VII. Gas prince of Wales) was at Niagara Falls Blondin offered to carry him on the tight rope over the falls. But, for more reasons than one, the invitation had to be declined.

Women Fishermen-FIemis Style.
 On the coasts of Holland Belgium and northern France the f1sherwomeE are familiar sight, with their great hand nets and quaint costumes Many of the towns have distinctive cos. tunes by which their women can be recognized anywhere. Those of Maria. Kirke. near Ostend. wear trousers and loose blouses, while their heads and shoulders are covered by shawls. They carry their nets into the sea and scoop up vast quantities of shrimps and prawns. with an occasional crab or lobster and many small fish. They often wade out till the water is up to their necks, and they remain for hours at time in water above their knees, rarely returning until their baskets are full.

 Bucolic Ignorance.

For horses suffering from inf1amma- tion of the lungs an old prescription was a mixture of shot and powder in milk. This has even been applied to human beings. In "idlehnrst' men, tion is made of sparrow shot. five or six to the dose, to be taken twice day, as a remedy for brown kiters," which is believed by the English farm laborer to be caused by the lights" (their term for lungs) rising up the windpipe. The shot is supposed to weigh them down in their rightful place. Sussex, England, is the scene of "Idlehurst.' It was Sussex woman who was ordered by the doctor to put some ice in a bag and bind it on the temples of her sick boy. Inquiring after his patient the next day the physician received the reply: "Oh, Vommy's better, but the mice are deadi"

Sad Fate of 2 Human Sian.

He was standing on a corner of Canal street, way down in an unim- )ortant neighborhood, with hardly any body looking at him. Just a few shortskirted children and some of us who were passing in the car.
 He still is a dentist sign, but it is pitiful the way he has gone down in the scale of taking the looking at. He was dressed differently, too. Instead of the Uncle Sam stripes he affected on Sixth avenue, he wore dinky light blue suit, with stripes running around the bottom of his coat and his trouser legs. I think he recognized me. He looked my way as 1 passed and smiled apologetically, l thought. New York Press.

Freeing British Slaves.

The 1st of August. 1884. was the day on which the slaves of British colonies were assigned to what was called an apprenticeship which was to prepare them for freedom. By the terms of the act all slaves became ap- prentice laborers to their masters in two classes, one of which would re ceive it's actual freedom in 1898, and the other in 1S40. About s100. 900 was appropriated to pay the masters for the loss of services based upon the market price: 770.2S0 slaves were af- fected by this.

Preservino Flour.

Much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities
 in new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hy- draulic pressure apparatus the flour is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while it is equally secure from mold. Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of flour in the ordinary state.

During three months spent in the southern Italian provinces, I saw enough to make me wonder why the people have borne the burden so long In several of the towns through which 1 passed there were pointed out to me caves cut into the solid rocks of the hillside where people are living. In one such cave house in Scili, Sicily there was rough bed on one side of the cave, on the other an oil press turned by a donkey. Often I have sec houses whose walls were constructet of brush and mud and the roofs mad of rough tiles or matched with straw The peasant has been most patient.

In some of the remoter towns the simpler. minded people continue to do so. But contentment under such conditions could exist only so long as there was no contact with the outside world.

Farmers want to know the in

Farmers want to know the in sects that are harmful to them, and with this stated in language that they can understand. This can be done, and is sometimes done. All the Agricultural Experiment Sta tions should remember this and act accordingly. There is nc benefit to the great mass of farm ere to issue bulletins that can be understood by teachers only. This is defeating the object for which the peoples money in this case has been set apart. Happily there are some of the best men at the agri- cultural experiment stations that think and act this very way. They are clearing the way that will in time be wholly followed Home and Farm.
