Penny Postage.

PostmasterGeneral Hitchcock is Opt
mistic enough to foresee and predict pen
ny postage for letters, within a compare
lively short time. IT'S we'll but let I'm
Gle Sam first relieve the people by pro
viding a parcels post similar to that o.
most other nations of the civilized world
by which relief from express company
tyranny may be effected. The people
are not chatting now against their letter
rates, but they are revolving against ar
anomalous condition which makes it pos
sible to send parcels of merchandise e
the ends of the earth cheaper than they
can be sent to adjoining towns.

In later years the corn crop is by
all odds the most important of our
cereal cultivation. 1t is not only the
great feed crop for the farms, but is
entering more and more extensively
into direct human consumption. The
campaign of education by the agricul-
tural department a few years ago in
Europe seems not to have been APP
preciated. there. but to have had some
effect at home. Perhaps this is as
it should be. for the less We export
the more we eat. and no cereal gives
better returns to both human and ami
NAL product than does corn. Thus.
directly and indirectly. is our enormous
corn crops productive of general
plenty, and las it's effect upon the
other cereal crops. Oats. for instance.
are turning out ninety million bushels
greater than last year. when for the
first time the national crop passed the
billion hushel figure.
In spite of the drought in many
sections the destructive fires and the
political controversies, there seems to
be a great plenty to eat in the country
this fall. and most of us have the
promise of coming out in good condi-
ton in thesspring.

Raisins.
More than thirty uses for the raisin
are suggested in little pamphlet
which is published in the interest of
Western fruits. Most housekeepers
know the ordinary uses of raisins, but
few probably ever tried dropping half
dozen of them into the breakfast
coffee pot or ever thought much of
them for CONNECTIONS. An easy way
to make bonbons that the grownups
as well as the children will appreciate
is to melt sweet chocolate in a pan
over boiling water, add little water
and butter. dip large plump raisins
in it and then drain them on blotting
paper. For half pound cake of choc-
olate use two tablespoOnfuls of boiling
water and two even tablespoonfuls of
butter.

escape from death few days ago.
Mr.. White was in camp at Norcross
Point, several miles above Kineo,
cooking before the open fire when a
stray rifle bullet grazed his scalp,
making a long cash, where it followed
the top of his head. When he came
to himself he was sitting down and
holding his head in both hands. He
believes the affair was purely acct

stray one from the rifle of some
hunter, who had no intention of in

When Prince October comes this way,
The World puts on her best array;
In flame and scarlet CLEAN the hills,
A golden glow the valley fills;
The grapes are dropping from the vine,
The air is sweet with purple wine.
When Prince October comes this way,
The hearts of men beat high and gay,
A tonic is the mornin" breeze,
A thousand charms keen eye sees:
At night the stars seem near and bright
The hunters moon gives wtching light.
When Prince October comes this way,
We cease to grieve for winsome May;
We half forget the rose of June
And how we loved the thrushs tune;
DaZed with the pomp of ROYALTY,
Contented servitors are we.
When Prince October comes this way,
His ringing call we glad obey:
Ger hill and vale we follow him,
Till all the golden land grows dim
'Oh, tarry long and long'' we pray.
NO BONNER Prince can come this way"

A Portland newspaper man with a
taste for mathematics has figured out
after spelling number of reams of
paper that 1864 miles of herring were
landed last week at Portland. The
computer reckOns that 5000 barrels
were landed during the week, averag-
ing 225 pounds to the barrel and %
herring to the pound, making 5725 her
ring in each barrel, or 17,175,000 her
ring in all. 1.-The average length of
the fish is four inches" the ready
reckoner goes on, land if the indi-
vidUal fish were taken out and laid
erd to end they would stretch out for
distance of 6S,7OO00O inches or 1884
miles and a fraction, and form line
of herring from beyond Portland to
Chicago. The fishermen get 81 a bar
rel for the herring so that the week S
catch will represent the payment of
$4,000 tC the fishermen.

GOOD RECORD Made by Women.
Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana.
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected
travelling libraries have been circu.
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib.
uted to the number of millions OF
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many commune
ties where no movement had existed !;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven
ton of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year special campaign of
lectures to women will be carried on
in all parts of the United States.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than so years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it Is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.

as Mrs. Barclay it is worth noun
fains of gold to suffering women.
