an almost perfect food for all young
stock, and the farmer who has a large
supply Of 1t has big part Of his feed
ing problem solved.
Another feed zhat Is invaluable for
young pigs and calves is dried blood
or blood flour. Nothing else will stop
scours so quickly nor do so much to-
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. A heaping teaspoonful to
feed Is enough for young calf. with
proportionate amounts for the pigs.
The reason that these packing house
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals Is because Of the large
amount Of ash which they contain.
The use of such feeds insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals.
A lack Of ash Is the chief fault that
can be found with the corn byprod-
ucts, such as germ oil meal and gluten
feed. For this reason these feeds are
not 80 valuable for milk cows and
young stock. although they are all
right for fattening animals. Oil and
cottonseed meals contain more ash than
the corn products, but not SO much as
tankage. They are usually a cheap
source Of protein. Oilmeal is especial
ly valuable for keeping the system in
tone, the bowels loose and the coat
sleek and glossy. Cottonseed meal
should never be fed to hogs, as they
often die from eating 1t.
There is nothing better than clover
pasture to balance the ration Of fat
tening swine. Glover pasture, with
perhaps a small allowance Of grain. is
an ideal feed for milk cows, calves
and colts. The little pigs will learn to
eat 1t also, but will need considerable
grain and skimmilk in addition II they
are to make rapid gains. Clover hay
and corn is a ration for fattening cat
tie and sheep that canno. be beaten.
Glover hay and silage with little
corn and oilmeal added Is first class
winter feed for dairy cattle. Even
for horses clover hay. II not dusty, Is
the best Of roughage. Its liberal use
for all classes Of stock will reduce the
cost Of feeding and add to the profits.
So it is evident that the wise farmer
will not neglect to provide a clover
pasture that is ample.

tn Anna Wermuth. a woman who
was known for many years as the
laundress to the emperor, died in the
Home for .he Aged, in Vienna, re-
Gently. She used to boast Of the fact
that she was born washerwoman. In
the revelation of 1S48 she took part
in the barricade fights, and acted as
nurse for the wounS re ,4utionists.
From her home she directed the work
of the organized washerwomen, and
for years, on occasions when the vari-
Gus guilds paraded, always led the
women Of her calling. "She died blind
and in poverty" according to the pub
lished accounts, "but to the last day
of her life she was a charitable wo-
man, and in her time had given more
than her share toward widows and
orphans funds"

FLOWERS NO MAN HAS SEEN.
An Air Ship Over Amazon Forest te

An Air Ship Over Amazon Forest to
Be an Adventure of the Future.
Everything about the Amazon is
huge, romantic and extraordinary.
The vague and but partly recorded
story Of its explorations Is full of mys-
teries, excitements and tragedies. 1t
is a river Of animal and vegetable SER
pents. The night embosoming forest
that covers 1t must have a surface,
which only birds have ever yet beheld,
radiant with beauty of blossom un-
eoualled in the world. Whatever grows
in the Amazon mud strives upwards
with desperate internecine struggle
to reach this sky exposed surface, and
there blossom and fruit. Beneath,
where men can walk, all is dark; only
here and there a fltful ray of sunlight
struggles through. Orchids blossom
within this shadow, parasitic upon
larger growths. But 1t is above, where
no man has ever been, that the glory
of color must reign supreme-color OF
flowers, Of butterflies, Of birds, radi-
ant in scarlet and gold and blue.
You can see these bright creatures
fitfully in the cavern below, but not In
all their glory as they must behold one
another above. Sometimes, as they
fit about beneath, they will chance
to cross a sunbeam slanting through
hole in the vegetation; then for an in
slant they flash into view like an ex-
plosion of burning color. 1t Is thus
that the great butterflies Of the Morpho
family are seen to the best effect. No
one who has only beheld them In the
beautiful shop windows in Regent
street, glories even as they are there,
can imagine what an effect they pro-
duce in their native haunts as their
wings flash and close and flash again
in the sunlight as they fly.
Some day a wise adventurer will
take a flying machine and be the first
Of men to behold the marvellous upper
carpet surface Of the Amazon forest.
When he comes back he will have a
tale to tell, but words will probably
fail him for the telling. OF all the
great adventures that remain to be
accomplished an air voyage over the
Amazon forest is the greatest. Glory
Of white polar solitude, glory of SUM-
sets, glory Of sea-there can be none
amongst all these to compare with the
unbeheld glory Of the Amazon conti-

Perhaps you saw-indeed, you could
not help seeing-that the poor thing is
hopelessly in love with Colonel Rivers
BY the way, Hazer'-with a sort OF
feverish vehemence in her tone-"how
absurd Of any woman to make such a
simpleton Of herself! What Is love but
pain, humiliation, slavery? I mean to
be loved, but I will not give love in
return; I will break hearts, but my
own shall not be broken, IL I can help
it,"
"A pleasant prospect for Mr.. Heron,
said I.
She drew her breath quickly.
"Oh, I had quite forgotten Francis!
may as we'll tell you, Hazel, that my
guardian grows daily more hostile to
that match"
"And why?" asked, in surprise.
II am hardly prepared to say" she
answered, with queer little laugh.
my cousin fails to meet Colonel Riv-
ers's approyal-he has other views for
me than those cherished by poor papa.
He Is misunderstanding deter
mined-that I shall never marry Fran
els Heron!"
She had put on a robe de chambre
of pale-rose silk, like the first blush OF
dawn. Her loosened hair rippled down
her shoulders, and clung in silky
masses about her hips.
She was pale, but smiling.
1T Is a little odd" ventured to say,
that Colonel Rivers should oppose the
plans made by your father for your
future"
"The world is full of odd things" she
yawned. my dear Hazel, don't fancy
that you have come to peaceful coun-
try house, where life goes on without
a ripple of excitement. AS Fouche said
to Napoleon-the air Of this place is
full Of daggers.' Plainly, 1t Is your
fate, poor child, to be encompassed,
wherever you go, with the elements OF
tragedy"
I looked at her so closely that she put
her white hands before her face In
laughing protest.
Something strange has come over
you since we last met, Sergia," said,
gravely. IT wish you would tell me
what it is. I find you the same-yet
not the same"
She leaned and kissed me.
Ma chere; there Is nothing to tell
You are too tired to talk further to-
night. Go to sleep, and do not dream
that our gray-haired Wolfsden house

the morning I mean to examine her
face, and find, If possible, the resem-
blance that startled you"
She arose to pass into her own
chamber, which adjoined mine. AS she
opened the door, 10! there was the
maid Jael, on her knees, with her tall
head bent toward the key-hole. The
girl nearly tumbled over on one side
of the threshold as her young mistress
confronted her. on the other.
What are you doing at this door
Jael?'t demanded Sergia.

Jael, with brazen composure.

Then 1 told her the story Of Miss Dee.
Patty grew pale.
"Oh, Miss Hazel" she cried, aghast,
Your mothers foes are following you
already. That woman is deep as
pit. She was as guilty as the murder
er himself, for she knew right well
when and where the deed was to be
done. And she said ugly things to you,
did she? Gracious Lord; she'll do ugly
things, If so be she ever gets the
chance, Miss HAZEL"

fully. 81 do not fear Miss Dee. You
must not fret about the matter, Patty
Aunt Ferrers will surely take care Of
me-"
Should you ever find yourself In
need Of a refuge, Miss Hazel, you
must promise to come to me and the
butter and cheese man." said Patty.
I promised; and Patty, having deliv-
cred up the trust which my mother
had confided to her six years before,
and instructed me how and where to
reach her, in case Of need, embraced me
fondly and went her way.
I had neither the courage nor leisure
to examine the fateful papers then
my heart was full to bursting. I flew
to my dormitory, hid them at the bot
tom of my trunk, and turned the key
upon them. They would be safe there,
till such a time as I might wish to
unravel the mystery connected with
my poor mothers marriage. Then 1
went back to the class room.
That very night, about the hour for
extinguishing the light, I heard ma
DANES step in the corridor outside my
door. She raped in reluctant way.
Miss Ferrers, here Is a telegram for
you," she called. "A messenger just
brought it."
1 took the yellow envelope with a
sudden sinking Of heart-a thrill OF
nervous dread. 1t contained this mes
sage:
your aunt, Miss Helena Ferrers,
died suddenly today, at the residence
Of her brother"
That was all. Some attendant ply
sician had signed the dispatch. Stun
ned, overwhelmed by this new and
terrible misfortune, 1 turned to ma
dame, who was regarding me with sor-
rowful interest.
"My last friend is taken!" I cried
wildly. ITO whom shall I now go!
She is dead; and at seventeen l find
myself alone, at the worlds mercy!"

TIDE OF AMERICANS
SETS TOWARD CUBA
Inquiries Crowd In From
WOuId-B0 Settlers

Washington, Aug. 18.-While the
annexation of Cuba by the United
States is a question stunned, the
of the island repub-
lie is impending, according to John
Barrett, director of the Information
Bureau of American Republics. Never
before have so many inquiries con-
corning Cuba been received from
would-be investors, settlers, and
working men, who seem DESTROYS OF
investing either their capital or their
labor in the island. incidentally Mr..
Barrett urges the American people
not to misjudge the Cubans in their
conduct of their new-found power but
to suspend judgment until the islam
ders have had a chance to make
good"
Il am glad to bear testimony to the
fact, said Mr.. Barrett, commenting
on the increased interest taken in
Cuba and its affairs, that the CORE
spondence of this bureau, already
enormous in regard to Latin-Ameri-
can countries, has been greatly aug
mented by requests from people in
every state i nthe United States for
accurate information concerning Gu
ba's agricultural, mining, timber and
industrial possibilities.
Il have been struck with the num-
Der of letters expressing confidence
in Cubas capacity to govern herself
and maintain peaceful conditions of
life and business. The demand for
our handbook on Cuba has literally
exhausted the supply, and | am ne
gotiating with the Cuban government
for a new edition"
Mr.. Barrett, who has been minister
to several Latin-American countries,
deplOred the attitude of a majority of
the citizens of this country toward
Cuba. He expressed the conviction
that never in the independent history
of the island had there been a time
when Endorsement and encouragement
were more necessary than now.

STATES POWERS
KEEP GROWING
DR.. Taylor On Changes In
Political Theory

At the recent annual meeting of the
Virginia Bar Association at Hot
Springs, Va, Dr. Hannis Taylor. for
mer United States minister to Spain.
spoke on The new era of good feel
ing marvellous transformation in
American political theory.
After following up the history Of
the different political parties since the
adoption of the Federal constitution
until the founding of the Republican
party, Mr.. Taylor said:
Just as the first Republican party,
incarnate in the person of Thomas
Jefferson, was divided into Wings
and Democrats, so the second Repub-
lican party, incarnate in the person of
Abraham Lincoln, will be divided into
two hostile political organizations. AS
the first Republican party was rent
asunder by internal questions purely
economic, so will the second Repub-
lican party be rent asunder by inter-
nal questions purely economic.
In 1860 the farm products of the
agricultural and free trade South
were everything, and her mining and
manufacturing products comparatively
nothing. When we look over the bal
ance sheet as it stands today we are
startled to find that the total values
of the SOuth'S mining and manufac-
turing products exceed by many mil
lions the total values of all her agri-
cultural products, including cotton
An economic revolution has thus
taken place which demands that the
SOuth's growing manufactures must
be protected even more carefully
than those of New England because
they are more infant.

There is more Catarrh in this sec

local remedies, pronounced it incur
