Our oldest Bit Of Literature.

The book OF Job, as it is incorporat-
ed in the Bible, is believed to be the
most ancient literary work in exist
ence. It is known TO have been writ
ten prior to the Pentateuch and prior
to the PRONUNCIATION Of the law. In
profane literature the poems Of Ho-
mer are the most ancient that have
come down to our day, though the
names Of others still older are in ex-
istence. The Pentateuch was written
about the year 145 b. c. and the Ho-
meric poems about $40 years later.

In a Twin Divorce Suit.

With their little daughter as the

Love VS.. Love, the one fled in Baker
City, Ore. and the other in New York
City, now promise to prove bitter con.
tests. Almost Immediately after filing
a bill for divorce In Baker City, Ore,
late on the afternoon of St. Valen-
tines day, Sidney c. Love left for
New York city to fight the suit
brought against him by his wife. Mrs.
Marjorie Burnes Love, the filling OF
which he surmised was pending.
According to dispatches from Baker
City several months since a detective
came there and has since "shadowed'
Love. Mrs, Love already has retained
counsel to represent her in the pro.
cess brought in Oregon. Little Is
known of Loves personal affairs In
the mining town of Baker City. and
his personal friends refuse to talk
Mrs. Love is equally reticent. but
the positive and bitter estrangement
of the once popular cluhman and his
wife now appears to be absolute.

to try to kill them by spraying lhey
aro fben too lively to reach with a
suffocating spray, and cannot be cas-
ilv noisoned. A great deal of good
can be done by coating the plants YOU
wish to protect with a Bordeaux
spray, as the copper in this leaves a
metallic taste which the grasshoppers
cannot stand. When spraying for
grasshoppers make the Bordeaux as
follows: Bluestone, 6 pounds; good
lime, pounds; water, so gallons
Dissolve the bluestone by suspending
it in sack in 25 gallons of water in
a barrel. Stake the lime in another
vessel, adding water slowly to make
25 gallons of lime milk. Pour the two
at the same time in another vessel,
allowing them to mix thoroughly as
they are poured in. If there is not
enough lime in the water it will burn
the foliage of the plants to which 1t IS
applied. To test this, take a saucer
full of the mixture and add few
drops of a solution of ferrocyanide of
potash made one ounce to the half
pint of water. If brown color ap-
pears more lime must be added till
no change takes place when the test
is applied.

A CONSUMPTION CURE
BY 3. j. Kendall, M. D.

Milk strippings when taken from a
healthy COW that gives very rich milk
and taken in quantities of quart
twice day Immediately after milk
ing, before it cools any, will cure a
larger per cent of cases of consump-
tion than any other treatment and
will cure in half the time of any other
method. Will also prevent it when
taken in time. The reason why it is
so successful is because 1t is absorbed
or transfused into the circulation al
most Immediately without taxing the
digestive organs, as all other foods
do, and as the strippings or last quart
of the milking from cow that gives
very rich milk is nearly all cream, the
patient will take on fat so much fast
er than can be accomplished by any
other method that they soon gain
enough strength and vitality to over
come the germs causing consumption.
To get best results one should begin
with glass of strippings and increase
gradually, but if there is any disgust
for it created at any time the quantity
should be dropped at once to one-half,
and then increase gradually again. In
two or three weeks they can usually
take quart in the morning and even
ing.
1t is very important to take it i'm
mediately after milking, so as not to
allow it to cool below blood heat. In
cold weather it should be milked into
a dish resting in warm water to pre-
vent it from cooling any.

fourths of the JOY of living, when they
can find health in Lydia u. Pinkham's

For thirty years it has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
has cured thousands of women who
have been troubled with such .aif-

liberation, fibroid tumors, irregulari-

The Place of Sentiment.

Broadly speaking, while every man
must be regarded as unit. there are
genera ly said to be three distinct sub
divisions of his nature. These are the
intellect. the sensibility and the will.
By means of the intellect he appre-
hends knowledge and comprehends its
nature, its bearings and relations,
and by 1t he reasons. BY sensibility
he feels, loves and hates, Is excited,
tubilant or depressed, enjoys or sui
fers, aside from physical sensation.
Sometimes the line Is very close be-
tween intellect and sensibility. An
appreciation of anything which is
purely intellectual easily becomes ad,
miration, running into a degree OF
pleasure which seems to be pure
sentiment BY the will the other two
are controlled and directed. 1t chooses
objects upon which the intellect Is to
exercise itself, and directs the gen
eral course of It's activities. and 1t
has the capacity less seldom exercised
to control the range and manifesta-
ton of the sensibility. For some rea-
son there has always been dIsnosi-
ton not only to regard the intellect
and the will as much more important
than the sensibility, ranking 1t as the
lowest of the three subdivisions, but
to disparage and belittle it and cast
reflections upon its activities and re,
suits. How often does one hear: "Oh!
that Is mere sentiment, that doesn't
count" or "he is nothing but a senti-
mentalist!" AS matter of fact, 1t Is
sentiment that not only makes life
worth while, but that moves the
world.
