This Meal Especially Should Be Served in Appetizing Way—A Good Bill of Fare. Breakfast either makes or mars the day. A nutritious, appetizing breakfast, perfectly cooked and daintily served, is an inspiration; and the man who has breakfasted well goes to his work with a zeal that the man who has partaken of a poorly cooked, greasy, indigestible breakfast cannot know, who goes to his labor with a ioad in his stomach and on his spirits, too. As we live in the country, I aim to make the most of what we raise on the farm, and produce appetizing meals therefrom, and also utilize the leftovers so that nothing be wasted. In the first place, we always have plenty of milk and cream. I think I hear some sister say: "How can you manage to have cream when you take the milk to the factory?" Well, we save out a good mess of milk at night, and I separate all the cream from the milk, as a little cream puts the finishing touch to so many dishes, while the skim milk can be used to good advantage in many other ways. We think it more economical than buying the extra meat and other foods we would have to, to make up a diet of the same nutritive value. I believe that workingmen require a hearty breakfast, but I would draw the line at warm biscuit and too much meat and fried salt pork, and as a rule prefer freshly cooked potatoes. Potatoes will boil in half an hour, and we like them creamed in the following way: Boil in slightly salted water, drain sprinkle generously with salt and mash with fork, add one-half cup cream and some butter and beat awhile, then add more cream, or milk if necessary, and beat vigorously until it is a light, creamy mass. Pile in dish immediately (as it is not as good if allowed to stand in kettle), dot with butter and sprinkle with pepper. This is so good no gravity is required with it. If, however, you have a little cold ham, chicken or any kind of meat, put it through your meat chopper (using the nut butter grinder—it will come out in great flakes), pile on top of the creamed potato, add a little butter and pepper, and set in the oven just a minute. This is delicious, and with toast, graham gems, corneal muffins or fresh graham bread and butter, apple sance or baked apples, coffee, gingerbread or doughnuts, makes, to my mind, an ideal breakfast—Farm and Home. DAME THRIFTY'S SCRAP-BOOK: Save all the burlap pieces, wast and sew them together in strips and use them under the carpets this spring. This is better than paper for it allows the dirt to sift through the meshes to the floor. Much time and labor may be saved in window washing if after washing the glass it is rinsed in perfectly clear water and left to dry. When entirely dry a moment's polishing with newspapers will make it as bright as a long and hard drying and rubbing with cloths would do. To clean a fur boa first brush out all the dust, then clean it way through to the skin by brushing with a whisk broom dripping with alcohol. When this is finished, powder it with fuller's earth, set away for a couple of days, then shake the brush thoroughly. If a vanilla bean is kept in the sugar jar it will give to the sugar a very delicate flavor. This is especially desirable for sugar to be used in cake baking. Instead of leaving the cellar until the last room to be cleaned, we clean it first as it is then more apt to receive a through cleaning. We sweep the ceiling, walls and every corner, taking care that no accumulations are left there to endanger the health of the family. Then a strong solution of copperas water is sprinkled over the floor a couple of times to serve as a disinfectant.—Farmers' Review. Unpalatable. On one of his expeditions into central Africa Prof. Drummond found himself among cannibals, who cast longing eyes on his person. It became necessary to make an impression, so Drummond produced a powerful magnifying glass, and after an eloquent exordium called down "fire from heaven" by setting fire to some grass by concentrating the rays of the sun through the glass. After this the natives had no appetite for a white magicians and Drummond went on rejoicing, laken with native offerings. The Taming of Bud Sloane. The Taming of Bud Sloane. BY AUGUSTA FLEMING CONWAY (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub, Co.) "I tell you, Betty," said Capt. Carew, as he stood in the wheelhouse of the steam-freighter Corsair, "it's no use talking. These fellows are rough, and God knows what they will do when they get mad. No, I think you'd better get off the boat when we get to Duluth and take the train back home." "Oh, Daddy!" pouted Betty. "You know I think it would be lots of fun to tame them." "Tame them, eh?" laughed Capt. Carew. "I'd like to see anybody tame them. You don't know them rostabouts as well as I, Betty. Why, girl," he continued, an angry frown appearing on his good-natured, weather-beaten face, "there's Bud Sloane, as I shipped aboard at Cleveland—darn his hide; I wish I'd never seen his ugly mug—he's the bird that's making all the trouble. He's a scraper from away back; always looking for trouble, and usually finding it." "Well, Daddy, if you knew his reputation what made you take him on?" "Had to, or put out without a mate," answered the captain. "You see it was this way. Stevens broke his arm when we were unloading, and of course he's got to lay up for a while. I hunted high and low for a mate; Sloane was all I could get, so on a pinch I took him, and here we are with him a stirring up trouble among them rostabouts for more pay, right out in the middle of Superior at that, where they think they can bully a fellow into giving in to them. I'll show them they can't. And what's more," thundered the captain, giving the wheel a vicious whirl. "I won't give them another cent, I'll be darned if I will." "Oh, look, Daddy, here comes Bud now with some of the men. You never mind, Daddy," said Betty, with a determined air, pushing her lithe, young body before her father's angry form, "I'll talk to them." "You get back, Betty, till I give them a piece of my mind," growled the captain, his eyes snapping ominously. "You get back to the wheel, Daddy, and never mind me. You'll only get yourself all worked up. I want to talk to Bud myself," with a mischievous toss of her dainty head. "Betty, child!" cried her father, as he seized her arm, "don't be foolish; get back like a good girl. They might—" "No they won't" laughed Betty, merrily, as she shook him off, and jumped quickly to the door just as Bud Sloane, with his contingent of salty roustabouts, stopped suddenly at its entrance on beholding the dainty form of Betty poised there. "Oh! good morning, Mr. Sloane," cried Betty, smiling her most bewitching smile. "Lovely morning, isn't it?" she flashed on the bewildered Bud. Bud balanced his huge form first on one leg, then on the other. His shrewd gray eyes, the daring Betty noticed, had the shadow of an amused twinkle in their hold gaze. "The morning's all right, I guess, Miss Betty," he said. "But I didn't come here to talk about it. I want to talk to your old man." "Well, you can't, that's all," flashed Betty, her soft brown eyes challenging the bold gaze of the gray. "You can say you you've got to say to me. I won't have him annoyed by your men and their foolish whims." Betty's cheeks flamed crimson when the man laughed. "It's a pretty little bird," he said, just the faintest suggestion of an amused smile curling his lips, "but it's wings need clipping; they soar too high. You just stand aside, miss, I don't want to trouble you with my little talk. Come little bird," he went on, disdaining the proud little figure with the tolerant glance one gives a child, "you'd better fly away." Miss Betty's soft brown eyes glowed black up into the disdainful grap. "You coward!" she panted. "How dare you!" FLAGS STOP ENGINEERS. Carlisle, Pa.—The American flag was used with good effect by the heirs of Theophilus Strayer in preventing a railroad engineering corps from completing a survey across their farm near the Dillsburg intersection of the Cumberland Valley and the Pittsburg, Harrisburg & Philadelphia branches of the Reading railroad. Several days ago engineers made a survey on the farm and drove the stakes. The next morning the engineers found that all "Aw, shut her off, Bud!" drawed out one of the listening roustabouts. "Shut her off, and talk turkey to the old man, if yer goin' to." In a twinkling the horrified Betty saw the speaker's tank form sprawling on the deck, while Bud Sloane, his massive jaws drawn taut, stood over him with clenched fists. The wondering brown eyes suddenly sank beneath the admiring glance of the gray. "What's the matter, Betty?" said her father, hurrying to the door. "Oh, nothing, Daddy," coolly replied Betty. "Mr. Sloane," she continued, with a gay little laugh of recollection, "was merely teaching his pupils manners." "Bud didn't lay a finger on you, did he? 'Cause if he did, I'd lick him, big and all as he is." "Why, you ridiculous old Daddy, of course he didn't. I'm not afraid of him. I think he would be quite nice if—if he was tamed," laughingly cried Betty, seizing the bewildered captain around his waist and waltzing him across the wheelhouse floor. A few days later, as Betty was taking her usual walk on the deck before breakfast she was conscious of the unmistakable sound of voices raised in anger floating down from the wheelhouse. Her nimble feet carried her swiftly up the ladder to the wheelhouse door. She stood for an instant listening to the rapid flow of wrath-laden words. "I tell you captain," thundered Bud Sloane, his huge fist swinging in the air. "I won't take that wheel unless you come to terms, so that's all I've got to say." "And I tell you, Bud Sloane," shouted the captain, his weather-beaten face streaked with purple, "I'll see you in h—first. I've stood here for 24 hours now, and I'll drop in my tracks before—" "Oh, Daddy, dear," interrupted an agitated Betty, running to his side and winding sympathetic arms round his nack, "you'll make yourself sick. You know the doctor warned you—" "Why, Betty, child," broke in the captain, his voice sinking to an ashamed whisper, "did you hear me swear?" Betty did not answer him. She turned her soft eyes, glistening with a dewlake moisture, on the anger-distorted face of Bud Sloane. "Oh, Mr. Sloane," she said, reproachfully, "how cruel of you to let poor Daddy stay at the wheel so long, and all because—" Her voice died away in a little sob, the fresh bloom of ner cheek flamed to a vivid red as the brown eyes sank beneath the worshiping glance of the gray. Bud stood for an instant in an attitude of indecision, shook his huge bulk, stretched his hand out to the captain, and said: "I'll take the wheel right now, sir. You go and get a bite to eat with Miss Betty, then turn in for a long spell. I'll run her straight and true, sir if I have to smash the whole blamed crew to do it." To Capt, Carew's surprise, he heard no more about the wage question. Also Bud Sloane developed a willingness and eagerness to please which delighted the captain, who praised him to the dainty Betty, who be wildered him by a marked indifference in Mr. Sloane's welfare. However indifferent Betty chose to be, certainly she could not complain of that same trait in Mr. Sloane. He wooed her at every opportunity, seeming to gain fresh impetus from her scornful treatment of him, till Betty declared she would tell her father. "Of course we will, Miss Betty," said the stakes had been pulled up and in their places were American flags, the staffs resting in the holes left by the stakes. The engineers received warning that they must not disturb the flags. The railroad company is building a double track from Harrisburg to Shippensburg, which necessitates the use of a portion of the Strayer property. Although it is said the right of way had previously been secured, the flags are still floating and all work NO.17 the irrepressible Bud. "I want everything to be fair and square; nothing underhand, eh, girl." "You take too much for granted, Mr. Sloane," said Betty, severely. "I think it very improper to be always fighting." "I've cut that all out, Miss Betty. I'm going to be—well, I'm going to be a model of propriety from this on." Just then two rousstabouts lounged by with a sneer on their faces, evidence of their contempt for the mate. Bud lurched before them; his muscular arms swinging in a threatening manner. "Don't you dare screw that ugly phiz of yours like that, Sam Barnes," said he, "'cause if you do, it's liable to get knocked straight again." "Bah!" spat Sam, "Bud Sloane's knuckling to a woman. He's—" Sam never finished his sentence, for Bud put his power of speech out of commission. When the storm had blown over, and his partner had fled, Bud found himself confronting a scornful Betty, who walked past him with her head held very high; leaving Bud behind, swearing softly at his huge fists. Bud kept out of Betty's way, devoting himself strictly to his duty, till Capt. Carew, delighted by Bud's untrifling energy, confided to an apparently uninterested Betty that he was the best mate he had ever had. When the boat got to Duluth, Bud sought out Betty in the cabin. Her brown eyes flashed when his huge bulk obstructed the door; but Bud never wavered. "I came to ask your pardon," said he, twisting his cap with nervous brown hands, "before I leave for the west. "I've concluded to take myself out there and begin over again. I don't blame you a bit, girl," his big voice breaking a little, as he pictured the future without Miss Betty's witching form flitting tantalizing near him. "You're away above such a rough lump as me. It seems I can't keep my fists from knocking them roustabouts down, so I just thought I'd—" "Stay here, now didn't you?" "Inquired a radiant Betty. "Father thinks," continued this bewittening Betty, whose face glowed beneath the man's worshiping eyes, rose red, "we might—if you—if you still want to—get married—Bud." TEST OF RAT KILLING DOGS Fox Terrier Proves the Better on Singles; Bull Terrier on Bunches. Which is the better rat killer, fox terrier or bull terrier? Watchmen and engineers of buildings in the North side hide and cold storage district centering in Kinzie street have begun a series of contests to find an answer to the question, reports the Chicago Daily News. They have Snap, a black and white fox terrier, arrayed against Terry, a brindle bull terrier, that the relative merits of the two breeds of dogs may be learned. Records of the slaughter of nearly 600 rats show Snap to be the better dog in quick, sharp fights with single specimens from the traps, while Terry is his superior in battles against numbers of the rodents. From six to ten traps are opened each morning, either in a blind alley adjoining a cold storage house or at the intersection of La Salle avenue and Kinzie street. The dogs are usually freed just as a cage is opened, and from two to four rats dumped out. Sometimes as many as six rats are turned loose at once, but seldom do any of them escape. A snap of teeth from either dog usually means a broken neck for the rat which suffers it. The rat tribes which infest the cellars of stores in the rawhide district are fierce and made up of hard fighters. Rats which weigh from two to three pounds are not uncommon. These animals invariably run to corners when freed, then turn and fight the dogs until death. Snap and Terry sometimes have to kill as many as 40 rats in a morning. has been suspended until the company files the proper bond, which it has failed to do. When this has been done the flags will be removed. In the Dark. "Mr. Masham kissed me last night in the dark. I was awfully surprised." "Were you, dear?

State Boundary Decisions. Two important decisions have re- fentiy been handed down by the Unit- si Siates supreme coart, establishing fie boundaries between states. Louis- fana and Mississippi Went to law over tue mavehy and once valueless islands extending eastward from St. Bernard parieh, near the Chandeleur islands. Pearl river is the boundary between kre states, When it was found that islands were among the finest oys- i. reefs in the world, each state Jimed them and set about organizing frter police to control them. Mis- fssippi held that its state line ran ficctly out to sea from the mouth of fear! river, and gave it all the islands. Hovisiana contended that the line pursed eastward in the ship channel foward Cat Island. The supreme court fas decided that all west of Cat island wlongs to Louisiana. As there are many canneries in Mississippi and Iie Louisiana law will prevent thelr Ovaiuing oysters in that state, Mis eissi)pi will probably ill in extensive artiivis) wefs for oyster culture along ts evn shore, ‘The other decision was ia @ sult loween Towa and Tlinois, growing out of the right to take rail- way bridges across the Mississippi river, The Loundary was the “middie cf the river.” Iowa maintained that this meant half way between the Inks; Iltnois contended for the mid- tle of the steamboat channel. The supreme court upheld the contention of Llinois, and recommended that the loundary be officially marked wherever jossibie to avoid confusion from shift- ing and fickle channels.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- fiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. aigdich eect tges Miss Winnonah Von Ohl,, a New Jersey girl 20 years old, is making quite a reputation as a horsebreaker. Five years ago, a slender slip of a girl, she went to South Dakota with her mother, who had been sent thither for a change of climate. Miss Win- nonah learned to ride bronchos out there and on returning east she took to training and breaking horses, in which work she bas been remarkably successful. She has never sustained any injury while thus engaged. Giese That. Reene Out Heat. An Austrian inventor, Richard Sztg- mondy, is reported to have made a new kind of window glass whose chief pe- culiarity is that it prevents the pass- age of nine-tenths of the heat of the sun’s rays. It 1s well known that ordinary win- dow glass allows nearly all of the heat derived from the sun te pass through, but, on the other hand, intercepts all heat coming from — non-lurainous sourees, such as a stove or the heated ground. This is the reason way heat accumulates under the glass roof of a hothouse. If covered with Szigmondy’s glass a hothouse would, it is claimed, become a cold house, since the heat could not get into it. One advantage set forth in favor of the new glass is that a house whose windows were furnished with it would remain delightfully cool in summer. But in winter, perhaps, the situation would not be so agreeable, DOCTOR'S SHIF1 Now Gets Along Without It. A physician says: “Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stom- ach. “Last fall I began the use of Grape- Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and since then I haye not had any indi- gestion and am feeling better and have increased in weight. “Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all of my patients suffer- ing from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtsx the stomach. “1 always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts.

GOVERNMENTS MUST RATIFY Kave Agreed Upon Rules Governins the Treatment of Sick, Wounded, Dead, Hospital Corps and Nur- abla Sia lat | Geneva, July 3.—The final text of ‘the revised Red Cross convention, whereby practically ail the nations of the civilized world agree upon rules in the matter of the treatisent of the sick, wounded and dead, inembers of hospital corps and nurses: in time of war, shows a number of changes from the antiquated convention of 1864. ‘The protocol of this new convention which was signed Sunday night by William Cery Singer, who was as- sistant secretary of war under Secre~ tary Root; Rear Admiral Sperry, pres- ident of the naval war college; Gen. George B. Davis, judge advocate gen- eral of the American army, and Gen- eral O'Reilly, surgeon general of the American army, all acting in behalf of the United States, gives until De- comber 31, 1906, for the ratifieation of the convention by the governments concerned. ‘The main features of the new treaty are as follows: Chapter 1 is devoted to the wounded and sick, Each pelligorant is reauired to respect and care for wounded and sick officers, soldiers and others at- tached officially to the enemy's army who fall into its hands. Should one belligerent be compelled to abandon sick and wounded on the field, and leave members of the hospital corps and material for their care, sch siek and wounded become prisoners of the enemy subject to the stipulations made by the belligerants for the exchange of prisoners after each engagement, ‘The final occupant of the field shall adopt measures to find all wounded and dead and to protect them against pillage before the final disposal of the bodies by burial or incineration. The oceu- pant of the field is charged with a scrupulous examination of the bodies of the enemy. ‘There shall be a rect- procal exchange of information rela- tive to the dead, and all letters, per- sonal objects and and valuables found on the field of battie shali be gatherer and transmitted to the other side, Chapter 2 provides for the immunity of all members of tie field hospital corps, This immunity shall cease should those in question commit acts prejudicial to the enemy, but the car- vying of arms by the’ members of the hospital corps, the pesence of pickets or sentinels avound a hospital or the presence of the arms of the wounded within a hospital do not constitute grounds for the waiver of such immunity. Chapter 3 details the protection to be accorded the various branches of the hospital service, the members of which are exempted from the treat- ment given prisoners of war. Other chapters provide for the protection of ‘the hospital material and the immuni- ty of convoys conducting evacuations ‘and require that the various govern ‘ments «adopt repressive laws against ‘the commercial use of the Red Cross emblem. | The provision relative to erbitration by the permanent tribunal of The “Hague is limited to an interpretation ‘of the terms of the new convention ‘in times of peace. “In addition to the leading nations ‘of the world, China, Korea, Siam and Congo were among the participants of the conference. The Russian and Japanese delegates took a most active part in the proceedings, n faring! together in a most friendly spirit. Gov. Hoch at Springfield, Springfield, Mo., July 8 —Gov. B. W. Hoch spoke at the Chautanqua assem- bly here Friday night before an audi- ence of 2,000. He was introduced by the secretary of state of Missouri, ‘John E. Swanger, and talked on the subject “This Country of Ours.” Gov. | Hoch arrived in the city Friday after- noon and went immediately to con- ‘sult a throat specialist. It was be- Hieved for a time that he would not be able to speak. He was advised not to do so by his physician.

Clauste, seeretary af the commission to inquire into and report to con- gress its conclusions concerning the laws relative to second-class mail matter, Sunday issued an announce- ment that the first session will be held at the Holland house, New York at noon October 1, 1906, The an- nouncement in part follows: “The report of the postmaster gen- eral for the fiseal year ended June 30. 1905, shows that the cost of maintain- ing the entire postal service for that ae was approximately $167,000,000. and that the revenue from all sourees was approximately 153,000,000. Sec- ond-elass matter constituted approxi- mately two-thirds of the matter han- dled, while it yielded but $6,186,467.54 or about one-twenty-fourth of the rev- enue derived from postage. Not only has the postal revenue suffered: by reason of the undue expansion of this lass of matter as compared with oth- er classes, but in dealing with the matter itself the postal service 1s hampered at every step by difficulties and perplexities of administration.” ‘The system as a whole, the report says, lacks uniformity and is confus- ing to publisher and official alike. ‘The report says the inquiry—will be especially directed towards determin. Ing whether the revenue from the second-class mail matter should not be made commensurate with the ac- tual cost of the service rendered in handling it; if not, what limitations should be placed upon the matter which may properly be embraced in that class. Owing to the great number of pub- lications concerned the committee deemed it impracticable to extend the privilege of the hearing to individual publishers, Each national organiza- tion will be heard orally by not to exeeed three representatives desig: nated by the organizations, and those classes of publications not having reg: ular organizations will be heard through persons who may be regarded au falely: ropresdatative: MUST KEEP-DOWN THE LID.

Was Known to Sailors Before the ‘Twelfth Century—Indispensable Adjunct to Navigation. Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi- nese, discovered, many centuries ago, that a kind of iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We call this ore magnetic ore, in more common lan- guage, lodestone, and it is very widely distributed, especially in the older crystalline rocks. It was found that {f a bit of lodestone were placed in water upon a piece of cork or straw braid it would turn till the axis of the ‘stone assumed a north and south posi- tion. A phenomenon of magnetism had been discovered by means of an ore that is peculiarly susceptible to mag- netic influence, It is an open question whether the Chinese utilized the directive power of ee lodestone, but it is certain that the first rude compass was not used on es vessels before the twelfth century of our era, By that time the ‘true magnetic compass had been ‘evolved through the discovery that if ‘an fron or stee! needle were stroked on a lodestone it would receive the at- tractive and directive power of this ore. With this wonderful appliance placed at the service of navigation, the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon dared to venture even out of sight of land. A new impetus was gradually given to cartography, for now the true directions of the coast lines might be charted with some approach to accu- racy. It was the hapy fortune of Ital- tan sailors;merake the surprisingly ex- cellent surveys vs the directions and lengths of the Black sea and Mediter- ranean coasts and along the Atlantic to British waters that have come down to us in the so-called Portulan maps.— Cyrus C.

Delicacy Relished by All Animals— Even the Hippopotamus Devours ‘Them with Pleasure. “The peanut is a delicacy relished by ail creatures,” said a New York animal lover. “I have come to this conclusion after having offered it to every animal in the Central Park zoo, and having it refused by none. “Oh, I know it isn’t allowed; but I’m ‘ot one of those individuals who offer animals indiscriminate numbers of hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese sandwiches and cigar stumps. It’s for that sort of nuisance the rule about feeding is made. A single peanut can't ruin the digestion of a camel—or of any other creature, for that matter, and I never visit the zoo without a bag or two of those legumes to dis- tribute. “Yes, the camel is fond of them— very; and so are the peacocks. The hippopotamus obligingly opens his mouth to let me toss one in, but the mouth is so large and the peanut so small that I doubt if he can quite de- cide whether he likes it or not. “The kangaroo pokes his funny, horse-like head out to me, munches the peanut with relish, and then begs for more.

How She Escaped It. When a physician tells a woman suffering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. Miss Margret Merkley There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I had a female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this I strongly objected and decided to seek medical advice. The ulceration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and I am once more strong, vigorous and well." Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing down pains, don't neglect yourself: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but a lot more will spring up. Lewis' Single Binder straight 5c. Many smokers prefer them to 10c cigars.

The opening of a bank with a capital of $25,000 in Tioga, Pa., would not, under ordinary circumstances, constitute a notable event, but as the bank is organized under the auspices of the State Grange, is owned and managed by grangers, and is designed to be he first of a series of grange banks, its opening is very interesting. The Lady and the Tramp. Mrs. Alden was a clubwoman. Her particular fad was the moral elevation of the lower classes. She was engaged in writing a paper on the subject when the cook came to tell her that a rough-looking man at the back door wanted some breakfast. "Give him a soup ticket," said Mrs. Alden. Then, with a sudden thought—"No, wait. I'll see him myself." She went into the kitchen. "My good man," she said, "will you saw some wood, if I give you a good breakfast?" "Certainly, madam," said the tramp, very elegantly, as he disappeared in the direction of the woodpile. In about five minutes he reappeared. "I'm ready now for that breakfast," he anounced. "Have you sawed the wood in such a short time?" asked Mrs. Alden, coming again into the kitchen. "Yes, madam," he answered. Then, between huge mouthfuls: "Excuse me, madam, for correcting you, but you should say, 'Have you seen / the wood?'"

INTERESTING STATISTICS He Finds About One Person in Every 1,200 Blind and One in Every 850 Deaf in the United States. Washington, July 10.—About one person in every 1,200 was blind and one in every 850 persons was deaf in the United States in 1900, according to a special census report on the blind and deaf in the United States in that year just issued by the census bureau. The inquiry was conducted under the direction of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who determined the scope of the investigation and wrote the text of the report on the deaf. The total number of blind in the United States in 1900 was 64,763, of whom 35,365 were totally blind and 29,118 partially blind. These figures, however, the report says, can only be considered as the minimum, as an unknown proportion of the blind were not located by the enumerators. Of the total blind, 37,054 were males and 27,709 females. The blindness is chiefly a defect of adult life, almost 65 per cent. of the blind becoming so after 20 years age. About one-tenth number of blind were born so. The number of blind per 1,000 of population was greater among the negroes than among the whites, and greater among the foreign born whites than among the native whites. In about 5 per cent. of the cases of blindness reported the parents of the blind were cousins. Of the blind whose parents were so related 25 per cent. were congenitally blind, while among the blind whose parents were not cousins the proportion congenitally blind was only 6.8 per cent. Of the blind at least ten years old, 20 per cent were engaged in some gainful occupation. The percentage of persons engaged in professional pursuits trade and transportation and in manufacturing and mechanical industries are larger among the totally blind than among the general population. Deafness on the whole, the report says, is more common in the northern part of the United States than in the southern and there are more deaf males than females. The total number of deaf in the United States is given as 89,287, of whom 37,426 were totally deaf and 51,861 partially deaf. From the latter class, are eliminated those merely "hard of hearing." The census report of 1890 gave the number of persons as deaf as 121,178 and the opinion is expressed that the returns for 1890 were undoubtedly excessive while those for 1900 are deficient. Of the totally deaf 52.5 per cent were males. Negroes constitute 11.6 per cent of the general population and only 5.2 per cent of the deaf. That the negroes seem less susceptible to deafness than the whites, the report says, is probably due in part to less complete returns from the negro deaf. Of the totally deaf 91 per cent were so from childhood (under 20 years of age) and 36 per cent from birth. Of the 89,928 persons returned as deaf 55,501 were able to speak well, 9,417 imperfectly and the remainder not at all. The report presents figures to show that the schools for the deaf are doing excellent work in teaching articulate speech. When the subject of deafness is considered from the point of view of consanguinity, it would seem that heredity has played a part in producing congenital deafness and the deafness occurring in adult life; whereas, deafness occurring in early childhood, after birth and under age of five, is probably to a large extent adventions. Of those at least ten years old among the deaf 38.5 per cent were gainfully employed as compared with 50.2 per cent among the general population. Of the deaf who were gainfully employed 89.7 per cent were found in occupations in which perfect or even partial hearing is not essential. Hearst Not a Candidate. Oakland, Cal., July 8. "I would like to state very positively that I am not a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination in 1908," said W. R. Hearst here. "Mr. Bryan said the other day in London that there were others beside himself who had claims on the nomination through services rendered to democracy and mentioned pleasantly Mr. Folk, Mr. Bailey and myself. While appreciating Mr. Bryan's compliment, I must decline to be considered a candidate. Let the list stand, if Mr. Bryan pleases, Bryan, Folk or Bailey. For my part, I would substitute Stevenson for Bailey. Butcher to go to Oklahoma Guthrie, Ok., July 8.—Prof. T. W.

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrap of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

AMOSA Made with TIGGOSEE AMOSA AMOSA Record of Mr. Harris and His Present Attitude Not Savor of Consistency on Public Questions. Governor Leedy Vetoed the Harris Law, igned in the Interests of Railroads and Corporations. Speaker, July 11—The Democratic campaign management in making comparable effort to confuse the people the state in connection with pro-railroad legislation. The attitude of the party upon this subject is rarely similar to the attitude of the party upon the question of prohibition and law enforcement. Every man, possessed with the power of reason in the State of Kansas, or any state, knows and admits that Democratic party has always been party of resubmission. This year, party, in convention assembled, only declared for prohibition and enforcement. This declaration deceive no one. The liquor firms are pleased with the situation of Democratic camp and seem to assurance that the traffic will be starved in the event of Democrat process. This is generally recognized to be true and is proven by the national fact that the liquor interests are generously contributing to Democratic campaign fund. The road issue involves a similar connexion of affairs. view of the death-bed confessor of the Democratic managers, a parison of the records of the two states for governor will be found resting. The following show horror Hoch's position and also indicates the lack of position, for the fit of th people, which Mr. Hardassumes. Hoch's Record. Hoch's Record. Governor Hoch used his influence to secure the passage and urged the best railroad law of any state in the union. Then appointed Carr Taylor to look after the interests of the owners and shippers. Taylor's right for a reduction of freight taxes is well known to every intelligent Kansas. Hospital Record Harris Record. As chairman of the Senate Committee on railroads in 1897, he killed every bill his party—the Populists—had promised the people and then forced through, over the protests of many Populists, a bill written by a railroad lawyer which was so manifestly in favor of the railroads and against the interests of the people that Governor Leedy veered it.

Calderhead, were among the first members of Kansas delegation to come home to Washington, are both confident the record Congress has made at last session will do much to conceive the people that the Republican party is the safest party to trust in state and nation. "Congress has used the railroad legislation decided," said Mr. Curtis, "but at that followed the Republican legislature convened in Kansas almost two weeks. True, Congress enacted anpass law, but I think practically the Republican wants the legislature to go as far as that atetaoinnad to so as far at the next session. Now I do. I am satisfied that the work of Kansas will endorse the work of the last Kansas legislature the last Congress by again giving Republican candidates for state national offices the vote their's record demands for them.

Moore. Topeka, July 11—The nomination of J. W. Moore a republican of Marion for congress in the Fourth district by the Democrats has not aroused much enthusiasm among the rank and file of the democracy. Judge Nicholson of Council Grove, a life long Democrat, said that no Democrat can be blamed if he votes for Congressman Miller, the Republican nominee. "Moore insists that he is a Republican," says Nicholson, "and if he is the Democrats will not be any better off with his election than they would with Miller. Therefore it will be a toss-up between the Democrats as to which of the two they will vote for." Taylor Riddle was responsible for Moore's nomination. In explaining it he said, "if somebody must run his head up against a stone wall I am in favor of some independent Republican doing it instead of some good old solid Democrat." Opening Gun Failed to Boom at Fort Scott. Topeka, July 11—W. H. Ryan, Chairman of the Democratic state central committee, and his associates in the management of the Democratic campaign, are greatly disconcerted at the failure of their opening meeting at Fort Scott, June 30. Following the Fort Scott fizzle came the action of the Populists in not only putting a straight ticket in the field but in scoring Harris, Farrelly, Overmyer and Ryan unmercifully besides. As a result of the two mishaps the Democrats are seeing the truth and therefore approaching realization that they have less show to carry Kansas this year than they had two years ago. The failure to generate Democratic enthusiasm at the Fort Scott meeting was really pitiful. Every possible effort was made by the Democratic managers to get a crowd at Fort Scott and right up to the last they were confident that they were going to have a demonstration that would put the opposition on the run. They talked of excursions from all over the state but the truth was that not enough people went to Fort Scott to fill one coach of an excursion train. It is stated on unquestionable authority that counting candidates there were not thirty-five people from outside Bourbon county present at either the afternoon meeting in the Auditorium or at the banquet in the evening. Chairman Ryan took advantage of everything possible to get a crowd to Fort Scott and failed. He failed because the enthusiasm he believed to be prevalent in the support of Harrison does not exist. It is the old old story of Democracy in Kansas. Kansas Democrats are always going to carry the state when their convention adjourns. But they grow weaker each day from the day their ticket is nominated until the day when it is finally defeated. History will repeat itself in Kansas again this year. Indeed, it is repeating itself already. Populists Decline to Accept Chicago Political Doctrine. Topeka, July 11—A hard blow to the hopes of the Democrats was the nomination of a Populist state ticket as the recent convention in Topeka. Some of the Populist leaders promised Colonel Harris and his followers that no ticket would be placed in the field and now that the delegates have taken the case into their own hands and nominated a ticket there is gloom in the Democratic camp. E. R. Ridgely of Neosho and other Populist leaders tried to carry out the agreement made with the Democrats, but the convention ran away from them and for once did as it pleased. Mr. Ridgely, the ex-congressman, is said to have been promised the Democratic nomination for member of the legislature in Neosho county for his share in attempting to adjourn the convention after it indorsed the Democratic ticket. He probably will be paid and will be given the satisfaction of watching the votes counted this fall. He will be beaten in his own county. Z. E. Wyant, editor of the Girard Press, places his bolting of the Republican ticket on the high ground of principle, when the record apply justifies the conclusion that he is sore because he did not get the job he wanted.

The ideal city of the twentieth century is thus defined by Lucy Maynard Salmon, A. M., professor of history at Vassar college: A city with clean streets, well-sprinkled streets, streets lined with well-cared-for shade trees. Streets and roads that are freed from billboards that are a stench in the community. Vacant lots now used as dumping places turned into attractive squares. Benches along the roadside for weary pedestrians. Backyards that are visions of beauty instead of eyesores. Window boxes that brighten dull walls and recreation piers on the banks of the river. All these make for patriotism as well as for civic beauty and righteousness. If it is true that the boy without a playground is father to the man without a job, we may well shrink from looking into the future. Boys and girls are turned loose on the streets; mischief, vice and crime result, and when these conditions become unbearable we turn to the curfew as a negative means of dealing with conditions that ought never to have existed. Miss Salmon also makes a plea for social reform. She advances as a contrast to the existing aristocratic clubs a settlement plan which shall provide amusement and offer instruction to the "other half." In her plea for the neglected thousands in their hours of leisure Miss Salmon says: "What remains for the other half of the community but the saloon, where, as some one has said, a man for five cents may join the most democratic club on the face of the earth? The wrecks of humanity are wrecks for the most part through lack of social intercourse that has had legitimate means of gratification.—N. Y. Sun IN COOKING VEGETABLES. Add Salt When About Two-Thirds Done—Use Fresh Boiled Water —Do Not Over-Cook. Remember in cooking vegetables, that most vegetables should be put on to cook in freshly boiling water. That salt should be added when they are about two-thirds done. That lying in very cold water for an hour or more will partially restore to wilted vegetables quality and freshness. That every green vegetable should be cooked rapidly, and uncovered, to retain its color. That, if the water is very hard, a tiny bit of soda added, no larger than a pea, will make the vegetable cooked in it tender and of better color. Ordinary water does not require such addition. That when soft water is used the salt must be in from the first to prevent loss of flavor and substance. That cooking a vegetable after it is done toughens, darkens and detracts from its flavor. That the best dressing for vegetables at their perfection is butter, pepper and salt—cauliflower and, perhaps, asparagus excepted. That older or staler vegetables are improved by a cream or butter sauce. —Farmers' Voice. Ink stands on mahogany or any polished wood should be treated thus: Mix a few drops of spirits of niter in a teaspoonful of water, dip a feather in this and paint the spot over with it, rubbing it over with cold water as soon as the mark disappears, and dry it with an old silk handkerchief. Try a medium-sized camel's hair brush for dusting the carving in furniture. Copper utensils should be rubbed quickly with salt and vinegar, plunged into cold water and afterward polished vigorously.—Brooklyn Eagle. The Empire handkerchief is one of the most noticeable of this season's little styles. It is made of linen, is rather small, below the regulation size, and its hem is very narrow and colored to match one's gown. Embroidered in one corner or stamped is one's initial letter. This is a smart touch which makes the gown complete. The next article one notices in looking for Empire styles is the Empire belt. It is made of satin and it is rather wide and folded softly as a sort of crush belt. There is a big buckle which matches' the jewelry and which shows touches of purple or violet. Activity, out-of-door exercise, and early rising, with moderation in diet seem to be the most important factors of longevity. Few things tend to promote health and vigor more than activity—activity without excitement—an activity which does not wear the body out. The candle ought to burn briskly, and, as a general rule, at both ends, regarding the head or brain as one and the limbs or locomotory agents as the other; but it should not burn too fast. Grease Spots. Dry buckwheat flour, if repeatedly applied, will entirely remove the worst grease spots on woolen cloths, and will take the place of French chalk as effectually on silks. Try it and see how nicely it works. To clean gilt frames, use a camel's hair brush dipped in alcohol. Rub off before it dries, with clean, soft cloths. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. Empire Styles Longevity.
