Lincoln, the Best Type of Twentiethcentury Americanism. ABRAHAM Lincoln, how the heart throbs, when thy name is mentioned! Childhood, youth and old-age vie with each other as to which can most appropriately extol thy memory. The magnanimity of Lincoln's greatness is equalled only by his great symplicity of character and imposing individuality. He was great in war; greater in the throes of forensic debate but greatest, indeed, while dwelling beneath the shadows of perfected intersectional peace. Logician, statesman, emancipator, tactician, soldier and philosopher—all these combined, no wonder then that the world should call him great, because he was great in each. His character was composed of the harmonious blooding of gentleness, patience, kindness, introspection, common sense, unselfishness, persistency and Godly plenty. Moreover, he was great, not because he arrogantly assumed it but because greatness was one of his large elements. All succeeding ages and generations may strive to fully describe him and his work but, this will be impossible, because his life and life-work borders too near the Divine to be completely and perfectly depicted by human agency. To the civilized world he is almost a deified personality; to the American people he is a deity of perfected Americanism but to the Negro he will ever be all that the human intellect can conceive a man to be. He is their political savior, brother, friend, father and beacon-light, leading them out of the thralldom of degrading slavery up to the "Canaan" of Twentieth Century Christian Culture. Joyously might the "Black Phalanx" shout, while rushing to the recruiting offices thru-out the land, in the Sixties, in quick response to his call, "We are coming Father Abraham, three-hundred thou. sand strong". development of old have been b failures.

It is useless, however, to lament over past failures. The golden future is before us, its opportunities and disappointments unfold themselves to us daily, yea, hourly. The Spirit of Lincoln, from Celstial Realms, exhorts us all to meet the Issues of Life, whether they be joys or sorrows, with courageous energy and hold self-reliance.

NEGROES IN ALL LANDS SHOULD REVERE THE NAME OF LINCOLN. Sunday next will be the anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Many pens will write of him; many men will praise him; many will extol his private and public virtues. There is no question but that he is the greatest personage. Washington excepted, in American his tory. To the Negro, he is the greatest American. Some may try to detract from his greatness by saying that his Emancipation Proclamation was a "war measure". Be that as it may, the man is reckoned great, who makes good in the crisis. This Lincoln did. We know too well his views upon the subject of slavery for any amount of specious reasoning to show us that there was a bit of denagogue in him. His was a life more Christlike than any of his predecessors in that high office. And, whatever may be said to the contrary, it will now be believed that he was the MAN selected and raised up by the Spirit of oil Freedom and Justice to break the shackles of slavery from an oppressed people. On the next Sabbath, every work dark lip should breathe a fervent copal prayer to our Father in Heaven learn for having given us Abraham-Lincoln. But, not only to us was he given, but also to the whole country, at large; more than that he was given to the civilized world, as an example of the great altruistic spirit that is to invigorate the minds of men in all the great public questions that shall arise for future solution. Lincoln's name lives, his memory lives, and his influence lives deep in the minds and hearts of the American people. A. C. Maclin, · Sedaia, Mo- Completing Lincoln's Work FROM THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATOR. The title is fitting. For Lincoln's epochal work must be completed. To leave a race of millions in the imbruced condition produced by generations of slavery with only the flat of freedom was to sink them to a more hopeless and helpless state. The South conquered, devastated, prostrate could not meet the demand. To help the Negro in that hour, to utilize his so called freedom became the most urgent obligation resting upon the American people. By a kind Providence some good portion of this work fell to the Methodist Episcopal Church. We have had to learn how to do it, and make many + + + + + + SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 1905. blunders in learning, but on the whole, a creditable record has been made. In school and Church in redeemed womanhood and manhood, in trained teacher, preacher, and artisan, and best of all in Christian mothers, who are helping the grand people of the South land to bear an unbearable burden, we have only done about one tenth of what our great Church should do, not more than one tenth. And the reason is found in the single fact that our ministers are not alive to the bigness, urgency and privilege of the problem. For no reform or Christian benefice can be made to thrive so long as our ministers ignore, or equally bad, present it in a perfunctory manner. What is needed "to complete Lincoln's work" is an intelligent apprehension of the cause by our ministry. There is not a congregation in our entire connection but what would gladly give ten times as much as last year if the minister will carry this greatest race question our nation in an informational and inspiring sermonic address to his people. Charles Parkhurst D D Religious Training In Our Schools. From the EPWORTH HERALD The most prominent feature in our Freedmen's Aid schools is the emphasis put upon the religious life. In other schools this may be incidental; here, it is essential. Only Christian teachers are employed. It belongs to their regular duty, to take part in the Sunday School, Epworth League and other religious exercises. The schools are organized on a Christian basis. The Bible is a part of the regular courses of study, as much required as any other branch. Regular religious services are held, attended by all students. It is not only a privilege but a recognized purpose to lead the pupil to a personal Christian faith. Revival meetings are a part of the plans, and to use a recitation period for soul-saving is not felt to be an infringement on the rights of a class. In our own institution, the Geor. Smith College, we use the recitation period following the usual devotional exercises for special meetings—nine to ten in the morning. A majority of our students were professing Christians at the opening of the term. Twenty of the remainder have professed conversion and have joined the church through the work done in a series of meetings just closed, leaving but two per cent of the whole number not reached. Our schools are not only revival centers, but training schools for Christian work and for the development of the spiritual life. Students learn that noise and excitement are not essentials of a revival. They themselves learn to conduct a service properly, and become accustomed to personal work. Returning to their home churches, they be come helpers and leaders in their larger scope and sphere. In an instance personally known to the writer, where a class of two continued to the completion of the college course, one has become senior secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, the other is United States Minister to Liberia. Of the class following, two are now missionaries and educators in Africa, and the others are useful leaders in Christian work. The Southland needs intelligent citizens. These she may secure through the state schools. Still more does she need intelligent Christian citizens, and these are trained for the most part only in the schools of the church. For that reason alone our schools are a blessing. —Pres I. L. Lowe YOUNG MAN! Young man what makes the nation great? Not mart, or boundary, or state.

When in St. Louis our representative sailed on the F. K. Rice Mercantile Cigar Co., and was courteously received and shown through their large Cigar Factory. It was a pleasure to see the hundreds of cigar makers making all cigars absolutely by hand, and the finely finely made the factory. One of the striking features in this factory is the fine body of workmen and the cleanliness that one sees all through the factory. In the basement the firm carry the Havana tobacco which they sell to the customers. It is a specially selected by W. C. Schutz, who visits the Island for that purpose, so that the firm not only have the very best of work, but they also buy the very finest tobacco that the Island produces. After seeing the factory one is not surprised that many of the cigars are the "Mercantile" during the year. This firm also manufacture a number of five-cent brands of cigars, their leaders being the "30S" and the "Agent." Our representative asked how many "30S" and "Agents" they manufactured last year, and was told that their output on those two brands of five-cent cigars was over 100,000. But they are not, but this firm turns out has a card placed on the sane, calling the attention of the moker to the fact that the house sells their goods absolutely on a quality basis, but they do no circus or bill board advertising, give no free deals nor have any advertising. They can sell their quality they can put in the cigar so that they will please the consumer, who does not care for all the other items but does want the most and best smoke he can possibly get for his money, and the firm tated that since they have adopted this quality system, their trade has grown from a small business to a small profit selling goods on such a basis, the enormous quantity that they are turning out, is bringing them the desired results. THE AGENT DIDN'T KNOW. insurance Man Is Given a Job by an Editor That Proves Too Much for Him. An agent was trying to insure an editor on some new plan. The editor had theory that any fact could be put intoain every day English, if the man behind the fact really knew what he was asking about. Alex listening to an involved flow of "premiums," "deferred invidences," "cash currender values," and optional choices," relates World's Work, e said, gravely: "See here, I don't understand what you're talking about. But I'll tell you that I'll do. If you'll write that proposition out in ordinary English so that you can understand it, not only take the policy, but I'll push the explanation as an article and pay $100 for it." "Will I? Sure I will!" exclaimed the verjoyed agent, thinking he had indeed truck an easy job. And he departed, turning the editor not to forget. A week passed by. The agent called p on the telephone to say that he was upon the thing. There was less obligation to come. Two weeks more elapsed. The editor ad forgotten the whole thing when the gent's card came in one day. It was followed by the man himself. "Well," said the editor, "got my article?" "No-no," said the agent, sheepishly. The fact is, I guess I can't do it the ay you want it, after all. Let's call off." It is hardly too much to say that this typical.

A good temperance woman was d, in a very peculiar way, to revise or somewhat harsh judgment of the or devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now the charitable he writes: "For many years I was a great sufferer from asthma. Finally my health it so poor that I found I could not lie own, but walked the floor whilst others slept. I got so nervous I could not st anywhere. "Specialists told me I must give up me use of coffee—the main thing that always thought gave me some relief, consulted our family physician, and, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice. coffee had such a charm for me that in issuing a restaurant and getting a hint of the fragrance I could not resist cup. I felt very lenient towards the unkard who could not pass the saion. Friends often urged me to try restum, but I turned a deaf ear, say: 'That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me—coffee and I will never part.' At last, however, I bought a package of Postum, although I was sure I did not drink it. I prepared it as rected, and served it for breakfast, ell, bitter as I was against it. I must y that never before had I tasted a pre delicious cup of coffee! From at day to this (more than two years) have never had a desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the thuna disappeared, I began to sleep ill and in a short time I gained 20 pounds in weight.

This is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,' he continued; 'the couple is so few people know how to take good coffee.' When he got his cond cup I told him he was drinking potum.

As long as he lived he was the guiding star of a whole brave nation, and when he died the little children cried in the streets." "He went through life bearing the load of a people's sorrow with a smiling face. As long as he lived he was the guiding star of a whole brave nation, and when he died the little children cried in the streets." Facts About Lincoln, the Man. LINCOLN was 6 feet 4 inches tall, a fact of which he was immensely proud. Washington was 6 feet 2 inches tall, Grant 5 feet 10 inches, Napoleon 5 feet 2, Nelson, 5 feet 4. He was swarthy as an Indian, with wiry jet black hair not easily amenable to the comb. His eyes were bright, keen and a luminous gray in color, though his eyebrows were black, like his hair. His face was almost grotesquely rough and square—lantern-jawed, he called himself. During the latter part of his life Lincoln had a rough black beard. He said he let it grow to "cover up his homely features." His figure was gaunt, slender and slightly bent. He had very large feet and wore a No. 11 boot on his left foot and a No. $11\frac{1}{2}$ on the right foot. His laugh was delightful—a high, musical tenor. His clothes were usually black, always loose-fitting and often in need of pressing. When a lawyer in Illinois Lincoln wore a brown, faded hat, with the pan rubbed off. He carried a faded green umbrella with "A. Lincoln" in large white cotton letters sewed on the outside. He was always bashful with women and never particularly cared for their society. LINCOLN IN 1853. As the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday comes round each year it is the custom to think of him chiefly as he was during the four memorable years of the war. His greatness as then manifested is most commonly contrasted with the obscurity and uncouthness of his youth—as rail splitter, as postmaster and storekeeper. But a no less interesting comparison is that of Lincoln in his years of waiting—the years previous to 1854. In 1853, 50 years ago, Abraham Lincoln was a Springfield lawyer of some local note as one of several leaders in Illinois whig politics. He was a man of 44 years of age, a man who, in middle life, had failed to secure any of the prizes that he really cared for. It is true that he had served several terms in the legislature, and had even been to congress for two years. But he had achieved no special recognition, had taken part in no important political movement, and was simply one of many in his opposition to the extension of slavery into the new states. As a campaign speaker he was already well known in the west. His droll humor, his relentless logic, his keen perception of approaching political changes, made him easily chief among the whigs. As a citizen of Springfield, he was living quietly, in an unpretentious house—which was, indeed, all that his slender means permitted—bringing up his young children. The statement sometimes heard that at Springfield he seduced attended church has recently been, contradicted by a citizen of that place, who members that Mr. Lincoln not merely attended church regularly, but was very prompt in paying his pew rent. This man of 44 little dreamed of what lay before him. At an age when most men, at least in the present day, are in sight of the career by which they are afterwards remembered, Lincoln was simply a plain attorney, a country lawyer, though he happened to live in a city, with some political ideas and a tremendous will waiting to be put to the strain. He was a good man, just and kindly, but as yet his moral and religious nature had not been stirred to the depths. But for 20 years and more he had been plodding away at the duties that came to him, sharpening his wits and laying up a reserve of patience, of courage, of knowledge of men, for the crisis which he knew could not be long postponed. A year later the hour of destiny arrived, and Lincoln knew his time had come. The repeal of the Missouri compromise in 1854, and the controversy over the states of Kansas and Nebraska, brought the question of slavery itself sharply before the people of Illinois. The share which Stephen A. Douglas took in this affair on the side of "popular sovereignty," with its bearing on the extension of slavery, gave Lincoln his opportunity. In those famous debates when the tall, awkward Springfield lawyer met the brilliant and famous statesman and deceased him on his own ground. Abraham Lincoln found himself. He knew then what was to come. The republican party was formed. Lincoln deliberately threw away a senatorship in order to force the issue of slavery in the territories directly before the country and thereby became the logical leader of the new platform. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" was the platform. He stood upon it fearlessly and faced the future ready to meet its unknown crises in whatever position of leadership he might be placed. How he met the crash of war, all remember. How he faced defeat, and disaster, undismayed when his greatest generals and advisers failed him one by one in time of danger, how he bore vitiously the sufferings of the armies in the field, and the patient families they had left behind, how he solved the question of slavery by a dictator's edict that was fairly overwhelming in its significance for America—all these things are the commonplaces of history. When men think of Lincoln they incline for the most part to idealize him as he was in his moments of exaltation—in his Gettysburg address and his second inaugural—and he becomes a hero who is already vague and unreal to the youth of to-day. But it is well to turn back to that early manhood of apparent mediocrity, almost of failure, when he kept on putting his moral principles into politics wherever he had a chance, and telling the truth even on the stump, and waiting for his opportunity. We could not have a Lincoln to-day. Men of his intellectual and moral power as a leader would not be waiting for an opening at 44. Neither would they have the homely habits of speech, the broad and generous humor, so ignorant of cynicism, which made Lincoln unique. Men of that type are not often needed in the politics of to-day. But the man who works and thinks and lives up to his convictions while he is waiting for the larger tasks that may lie before him is still the man who wins.—Chicago Standard SELF-RESPECT FORBADE. Lineccl Always Refused to Represent Wrong at the Bar of Abraham Lincoln's love of truth was a distinguishing characteristic, and so great was his reputation as a lawyer that his clients were sure that they would win their cases if they employed him. Yet they knew that if their cases were not fair it would be useless to consult him. A lawyer who studied in Mr. Lincoln's office tells a story illustrative of his love of justice. After listening one day for some time to a client's statement of his case, Lincoln, who had been staring at the ceiling, suddenly swung around in his chair and said: "Well, you have a pretty good case in technical law, but a pretty bad one in equity and justice. You'll have to get some other fellow to win this case for you. I couldn't do it. All the time while talking to that jury, I'd be thinking: 'Lincoln, you're a liar,' and I believe I should forget myself and say it out loud."—Youth's Companion. ```markdown ``` Blue and Gray United. The house committee on eleemosynary institutions held an open meeting in the hall of the house of representatives to hear arguments on the matter of building a Missouri soldiers' memorial at Columbia. The speakers were H. E. Robinson, of Maryville, president of the State Historical society, who originated the movement; Walter Williams, Maj. William Warner, Maj. H. W. Salmon, Jerre T. Dew, department commander, Grand Army of the Republic; Capt. Frank Galenne, commanding the eastern brigade, United Confederate Veterans; Frank W. Sterrett, former commander of the Grand Army, and Col. J. B Stone, commander of the western brigade, United Confederate Veterans. The national government is about to pay to Missouri $475,000, refunding the amount the state paid for the recruiting of soldiers early in the civil war, and it is this money which is being asked for the purpose mentioned. The building it is proposed to erect will be a historical museum and library. Mr. Williams said that Missouri was the only state that kept her full quota in both armies all the time and he consequently pleaded for the memorial. Missouri's Rural Mail Carriers. Missouri's rural mail carriers. There are now more than 1,500 rural mail carriers in Missouri being paid from the office of Joseph H. Harris postmaster at Kansas City. Mr. Harris said that on January 1 there were 1,512 rural mail carriers on the roll. Since that time 22 additional rural carriers have been added. Their pay for January was $89,469.75, while the annual pay roll for Missouri's rural carriers was $1,070,226 in 1904. Rural carriers are divided into ten grades receiving from $468 a year to $720. The Kansas City office is the headquarters for the entire rural mail service in the state. Pedigreed Seed Corn. Missouri produced $100,000,000 worth of corn in one year. One Missouri farmer, after listening to the lectures on improved seed corn and cultivation in the fall of 1903, reports that he went home and followed the methods advocated and increased his yield of corn from 40 to 70 bushels an acre. If it is possible by using pedigreed seed corn and practicing improved methods of cultivation to increase the corn yield only 50 per cent, this increase would add $50,000,000 annually to the wealth of the state. Ask Money for State Fair. Charles E. Yeater, J. R. Rippey, J. A. Potts and C. G. Ellis, representing the state fair directory, asked the house committee on appropriations for an appropriation of $154,000 for the state fair at Sedalia. This is in addition to the money received from the licensing of pool sellers at race tracks under the so-called breeders' law. The largest amount asked for one purpose is $80,000, to build a new live stock pavilion. First Month's Business $15,885.80. Secretary of State John E. Swanger reports having received and paid in the state treasury taxes and fees for the month of January, 1905, as follows: Notarial commissions, $1,095; domestic corporation tax, $11,660; foreign corporation tax, $770; miscellaneous fees, $669.80; land department fees, $43.50; bank inspection fees, $1.187.50; recording railroad contracts, $160; total, $15,858.00. John B. Hale, who served as democratic congressmen from 1885 to 1889, is dead at Carrollton, aged 74. He was a prominent criminal lawyer and defended "Bill" and George Taylor, who killed the Meeks family near Browning. "Bill" Taylor was hanged at Carrollton and George Taylor escaped from jail. "Rube" Oglesby Goes West "Rube" Oglesby, the democratic candidate for railroad commissioner who was defeated by a close margin in the last election, will start for California within a few days. He has accepted a good position with a firm of horse breeders, with headquarters in San Francisco. Boone County Census Figures. According to the latest census Boone county has a population of 39,211, an increase of 1,881 since the United States census in 1900. The city of Columbia has increased in the same time from 5,650 to 7,898, and Centralia has increased from 1,722 to 2,063. No Pie for Republicans. No republicans have been given places at the state penitentiary, nor will they be. The matter was put up to Warden Hall by Attorney General Hadley and the warden answered that he would not give any of the prison pie to the republicans. Rudolph to Hang March 17. The Missouri supreme court affirmed the judgment of murder in the first degree against William Rudolph, the Union bank robber and murderer, and sentenced him to be hanged March 17. An Expensive Debt.

Public speaking especially exposes the throat and bronchial tubes to catarrhal affections. Breathing the air of crowded assemblies, and the necessary exposure to night air which many preachers must face, makes catarrh especially prevalent among their class. Peruana has become justly popular among them. BISHOP L.H.HALSEY. The Bishop's Strong Tribute to Pe-ru-na. L. H. Halsey, Bishop C. M. E. Chr.

I have suffered with this terrible disease for more than twenty years, until since I have been using Peruna, which has relieved me of the trouble. "I have tried many remedies and spent a great deal of hard-earned money for them, but I found nothing so effectual in the cure of catarrh as the great medicine, Peruna.

Brown To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. At the first indication of ill-health, painful or irregular menstruation, headache or backache, secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and begin its use. Mrs. Chas F. Brown, Vice-President Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For nine years I dragged through a miserable existence, suffering with inflammation and falling of the womb, and worn out with pain and weariness, so much so that a stabbed by her suffering as I was born had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I determined to try it. At the end of three months I was a different woman. Every one remarked about it, and my husband fell in love with me all over again. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound up the trouble, and I felt like a woman I am sure it will make every suffering woman strong, well and happy, as it has me." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, or nervous prostration may be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lyda E.

Gen. Kuropatkin is an expert in botany and geography, and he is interested in the progress made from week to week in all the sciences. Scientific periodicals are sent to him in Manchuria from Russia, France and Germany. As an author he is best known by his geographic works. Agricultural problems engage much of his attention. Before the Russo-Japanese war broke out Gen. Kuropatkin said to Stoessel, the man who so gallantly defended Port Arthur; "Stoessel is a bad soldier, but a wonderful engineer. Pit him with equal forces against a Gourko or a Skobeleff and you would find him outmaneuvered and cut into mincemeat in one day and night. But set him behind earthworks and battlements of his own devising and not all the forces of earth, with those of hell combined, will prevail against him." HER BLOOD TOO THIN GENERAL DEBILITY RESULTS FROM IMPOVERISHED BLOOD. The Remedy That Makes New Blood Banishes Weakness, Headaches, Indigestion and Nervous Troubles. Hundreds of women suffer from headaches, dizziness, restlessness, languor and timidity. Few realize that their misery all comes from the bad state of their blood. They take one thing for their head, another for their stomach, a third for their nerves, and yet all the while it is simply their poor blood that is the cause of their discomfort. If one sure remedy for making good, rich blood were used every one of their distressing ailments would disappear, as they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F. Stone, who had been ailing for years and was completely run down before she realized the nature of her trouble. "For several years," said Mrs. Stone, "I suffered from general debility. It began about 1896 with indigestion, nervousness and steady headaches. Up to 1900 I hadn't been able to find any relief from this condition. I was then very thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic friend, who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, urged me to give them a trial and I finally bought a box. "I did not notice any marked change from the use of the first box, but I determined to give them a fair trial and I kept on. When I had finished the second box I could see very decided signs of improvement in my condition. I began to feel better all over and to have hopes of a complete cure. "I used in all eight or ten boxes, and when I stopped I had got back my regular weight and a good healthy color and the gain has lasted. I can eat what I please without discomfort. My nervousness is entirely gone, and, while I had constant headaches before, I very rarely have one now. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to women who suffer as I did." Mrs. Stona was seen at her pretty home in Lakewood, R. I., where, as the result of her experience, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are very popular. These famous pills are sold by all druggists. A book that every woman needs is published by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y. It is entitled "Plain Talks to Women," and will be sent free on request. THE FARMING WORLD WAGON LIFT IS A BOON. If Proper Device with Which to Grease Axles Is Not Handy the Equine Suffers. Oftentimes the wagon is not greased as it should be because you or the hired man had nothing handy to lift it while you took off the wheel. This results not only in heavy pulling for the horse, but many prematurely worn out wagon boxes and axles. I long ago concluded that the time taken to build such an arrangement JACK FOR LIFTING WAGON. for lifting jack as is shown in the cut was a profitable investment and would pay better than wearing out my wagons, says a writer in Farm and Home. For the main piece (a) use hard wood piece, 1½ x 3 inches, of such length as will adapt it to height of average axle to be raised. On this, iron straps are fastened to hold axle of different heights rigidly after being lifted. The support (c) may be a piece as shown in the sectional cut, made of two pieces, 1½ x 3 inches, blocked apart wide enough to take lever (b). Fasten inside of c. on bolt as shown at f. The hands (b) is cut into at end as shown, or two strips may be nailed on the side to provide the opening at d. This is hotted to a as shown at e. With this jack one is able to lift anything, from a light run- about to the heaviest farm wagon. RADISHES AND PEPPERS Crops Which It Will Pay the Southern Farmer to Cultivate During the Winter Time. In January last 1 planted Chinese Giant sweet pepper seed in hotbed; as pepper plants grow very slowly at first and as it is not advisable to set them out before all danger of frost has passed, I planted the ground intended for them with turnip radish seed the last of January, says C. D. Otis, of Calcasieu county, La., in Ohio Farmer. These did very well and most of the crop was shipped to Kansas City in sugar barrels with about 50 pounds of ice in each barrel. The first shipment was made March 9 and the last April 8. They netted $6.88. Immediately upon clearing the ground of the radish crop, I set out 40 pepper plants, quite large by this time. The plants were set two and one-half feet asunder in rows three feet apart, and occupied about half of the radish ground. A stake was driven at each plant at once and the plants tied securely. After the plants had started growing, I applied a small quantity of commercial fertilizer to each. The month of May was very dry and I was compelled to water the plants separately, with hose attached to a force pump, Later, when rains came, growth was fine. At first a Planet Jr. single wheel hoe was used, but when the plants became too large for this, I used an ordinary garden hoe. As the plants grew it was necessary to continue tying them up, as they are very tender and casily broken by the wind. About the time the plants began to fruit I applied a small shovelful of well-rotted manure to each. As the season advanced, the price of peppers declined, until I received only six cents a dozen. My last sale, which was made November 21, brought total receipts up to $43.50. The ground is cleared again and sowed with mustard, which will be off in time to follow the last of January, 1905, with radishes again. POINTS ON LIVE STOCK. Pure bred hogs are sometimes made scrub hogs by reason of being badly fed. There is no other farm animal in which "style" is worth as much money as the horse. On the great ranges alone can be production of beef be made the one aim of farming. Some sows have no milk at farrowing time. The cause assigned by a veterarian is feeding the sow strong or heavy feed immediately after farrowing. The pigs should have slop in addition to the milk of their mother at a very early period, and a little later skimmilk should be given. No stunting should be allowed. Give the hogs plenty of pure water to drink, no matter how much slop and milk they have. There are hogs that never get an opportunity to drink water, as their owners think the milk and slop sufficient for them. This is a mistake.—Farmers' Review. After the pigs have been weaned, care should be taken in the feeding. They should not be starved in any degree, but should be so fed that at meal time they will be in a hurry for their food. Too much feeding clogs the appetite and defeats the end in view. Darwin states that in Syria there are four distinct breeds of asses. "A light and graceful animal, used by ladies; an Arab breed, reserved exclusively for the saddle; a stouter animal used for plowing and various purposes, and the 'aree Damascus breed with peculiarly long body and ears." LIVE THREE CENTURIES. Swanz and Some Wild Birds Exist Longer Than Mammals to Preserve Species. Birds, if we consider their comparative weight rather than bulk, live much longer than mammals; but even in birds there is considerable variation. Leaving the why and wherefore, let us see what is known. We can only form our conclusions in most cases from birds living under artificial conditions in captivity, says the Manchester Guardian. We are, therefore, at once faced with the question, Do we prelong the life of our captives by providing them with a regular and suitable supply of food, or do we shorten their existence by the inevitable restraint? We may do either if we consider that the average life of a bird in a free state is regulated by the rate of mortality. Few birds, 6r, indeed, any animals, die a natural death; few finger to peril by the miseries of old age and decay. Nature provides the "happy language" either in the form of accident or at the hands of enemies, predatory or parasitical. We have no means of telling how long a wild bird's constitution might survive if it could manage to live or die of old age. Too frequently however, our solicitude for our pets leads to their undoing and post mortems do not always reveal where we have erred; and now then we discover that a surfeit of boiled potato or some similar food has hastened the end. If we keep birds, we are constantly struck by the frailty of avian life. It is an old Gorman popular saying that a wren lives three years, a dog three times as long as a wren, and, multiplying each age by three, goes through a series—horse, man, donkey, wild goose, crow, deer and oak. This, as Welmannn points out, makes the life of man 81 years, and of a deer over 5,000, and, although crows can manage better than we can, they hardly live 2,000 summers. Small singing birds seldom live over 20; their ages in captivity vary from sight to 18. Naumann states that a canary will live 12 or 15 years, a night-tale eight or nine and a blackbird about 12. Compared with our three-score years and ten, which we lords of creation have the audacity to consider as the standard, these ages are not long. A magpie has been known to "coach 20, but others of the crow family have done better; ravens have lived for 100 years or more—one authority states 200—and in a wild state it is possible they may last longer. "Parrots, which look as if they had lived for ages, they are so wise" (the borrowed expression is very opposite) have several times been known to pass their century. No record, unfortunately, has been kept of the result of the experiment made by an old lady of 88 who purchased a parrot to see if it would really live until it was 100. Humboldt, in good faith, tells of a parrot living in Maypurs when he was on the Orinoco, which conversed in an unknown tongue; the Indians said they could not understand it, for it was the language of the long extinct Aitures. Position in Sleep According to Dr. Fischer, of Berlin, the most effective position of sleep for obtaining intellectual rest is to keep the head low and the feet slightly elevated. Failing in this, the body should at any rate be horizontal, so as to irrigate the brain well. The habit of sleeping with head low and feet high is, according to the doctor, a remedy for brain troubles and some internal maladies. It can be adopted gradually. Electricity Conquers Mountains Electricity Conquers Mountains. The ability of electrically driver trains to surmount grades impracticable to steam engines is to be taken advantage of in constructing a new railway over the Alps, from Turin in Italy to Martigny in Switzerland. The maximum gradient is to be one in 20, and the motive power is to be derived from Alpine waterfalls. There will be one tunnel under the Parad's mountain. The total, length of the line will be $97\frac{1}{2}$ miles, much shorter than any of the existing steam roads connecting central Europe with northwestern Italy.—Youth's Companion.

Human Ingenuity Raises an Obstacle to the Machinations of Fate the apartment houses of this age had now recaused a stage of such magnificence that tenants were willing to give up all their liberties and salaries for the privilege of living in them. By edict, says the New York Sun, the prattle of children was forever barred from them. Situated in the ultra fashionable district was the magnificent apartment house "Rafael," the young man was showing a prospective tenant and dazzling him with the latest improvement of the Utopian age. "Magnificent!" said the gentleman, "but your roof looks rather untidy. Why is this roof strewn with bits of broken glass and the chimneys studded with rusty nails?" "That is to prevent the stock from alighting on the premises." Being a philosopher, the Utopian said nothing, but stood gazing far into the distance where an ocean liner from the tropics was making her way up the harbor crowded to the rails with immigrants.

DEAR SPR: "River since I was in the Army, I had more or less kidney trouble, and within the past year I suffered everything and was much alarmed—my strength and power was fast leaving me. I saw an advertisement of Swamp-Root and wrote medicine and noted a decided improvement after taking Swamp-Root only a short time. I continued its use and am thankful to say that I am in splendid condition and to be very sure about this. I had a doctor examine some of my water to-day and he pronounced it all right and in splendid condition. I am purely vegetable and does not contain any harmful drugs. Thanking you for my complete recovery and recommending Swamp-Root to all sufferers I am. Very pleased." I. C. KICHARDSON. Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but it promptly cures kidney.
