scalds IL thoroughly after using, and gives
Il a sun bath to sweeten 1t. She knows
that If her churn is sour II will taint the
butter that Is made in II. The stomach is

The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.

Jess, South Norwslk, Conn.,, FIRE
horse, noted for his intelligence, msy
not be able to talk over the telephone,
bat be can listen aud can recognize his
masters voice, and on this fact hangs q
tale.
Samuel w. MCGOWAN, the horses
regular driver, was on a vacation this
week and in his absence an alarm OF
fire came in but when Jess missed Nc.
Gowan's commanding voice be refused
to get into the harness. As last re-
sort the driver was called on the tele.
phone, which stood near.
"Bring that horse to the phone, "
yelled back MCGOWAN, and the receiver
was then placed close TO the animals
head
"Jess, what's the matter with you.
Get out of there quick" shouted the.
driver.
No sooner did the animal hear the
familiar tone than be jumped into place,
the harness was snapped and Oft be
went
Jess is the horse that few years sgo
acquired the habit of pressing an elec'

for the fun Of getting a run and Of
seeing the members come sliding down.

ADVENT POSTPONED.

As firmly convinced IS ever that the
end Of the world is due within the
twenty-four hours ending at 6 o'clock
tonight, the Ttiune Immersionists we're
occupying their camp at AshdOd, Mass,
last night, praying, singing, and shout
ing hystericslly.
The coming Of the end was postponed
yesterday mcluiug, and the lesders Of
cult announced that the stories that
have gone cut to the world during the
last few days, to the effect that the end
was due st 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing we're erroneous. According to their
belief the first day wss to be marked
by signs and omens in the heavens, and
when at noon a tremendously impressive
array Of deep black clouds piled up in
the western sky, those who had "stched
for Christ's coming we're sure the hour
was at hand.

RURAL TELEPHONES.

A representative farmer of GreenVlle
county, S. @. told the writer some time
sgO that 80 dependent had he become
upon the telephone, that he sometimes
wondered how be had ever managed to
get along without this convenience.
This man had long realized that the tele-
phone vas saving him many hours of
time and many miles OF travel, Busi-
ness that before required an entire dsy,
taken from his work, to transact, could
now be attended to 10 few minutes. 1t
vas not necessary for him to 90 to town
TO ascertain market conditions. If he
had produce or fruit to sell he could
learn the prices being paid and perhaps
make bis sale before lsaviUg home. He
was able to keep ia touch with the world.
HIS family did not feel that it WAS cut
of from the outside. No matter how
bad the rosds we're the telephone would
advise as to where the doctor could be
found, how sick friends or relstives were,
whether or not there would be preaching
at the church and how much mail there
was r. the postofice. If cattle strsyed
of, the telephone would trace them and
save him worry and loss Of time. II he
was wanted at any hour, he could be
reached promptly. Considering the
small cost of construction of rural lines,
It is indeed remarkable tnst more of
them have not been built. The tele.
phone has come to be not only q comfort
and convenience but necessity, as any
who have had occasion to rely upon it
have discovered. The people Of Green.
Vile county would be in far closer touch
with each other were lines more gener-
ally established among them.
