"The peasents of Brittany have some strange customs, and one o:' them is of quite ancient origin," said a traveler. "Manv voars aro their ooant was visit ed by pirates, who invaded the houB 8 and carried off all tne money and valuables they could find. In orde:- to protect themselves in the future, the people had an odd kind of a bedstead made, which looks exactly like a cupboard with shelves and a door. On the lower shelf slept the ma ter of the h'uso and his wife, while the child en of the household were dist ributed on the upper shelves. A small opening like the port-hole on a steamship was made against each shelf, i nd covered with a wire sieve, which admitted the air. At bed-time the family crept into their respective places, taking their treasures with them, and, locking the door, slept with a feeling of perfect security. Many of these curi ous articles of furniture aro strill to te found in the old houses of Brittany, and are highly prized by curiosity eeekers. " Chicago Herald Proverbs. Gamblers do not always tline on game pie. A silk hat can't be made to fit a hog's head. An imitator is only a monkey in the wrong skin. Plucked geese do not sleep on feather beds. He is a poor counselor who knows nothing but law. He is indeed a master who can teach. others how to learn. In life's barometer quick rises often precede sudden falls. It takes more than one crunk to turn the wheels of progress. Beware of tho hunt in which men are hounded by hunger. "I will pay you to-morrow," is part of tho bankrupt's assets. Civilization may justly claim to have perfected tho boor. Some men are so sharp that thev koop cutting themselves. The only sure way to conquer a bad habit is not to acquire it. Every vicious act weaken) a right udgment, and defiles tho life. When I think of a mother's advice 1 am Inclined to believe in revelation.

Reports from Twelve States as to the Effect of the Kec-ent storm. Reports havo been received by tho F-armors' Koview irom ii corrospoimsnts in twelvo s-tatet on the condition 5f wheat, oats and corn, and of th effects of tho recent hard storm and ;old hi ell. Wintor Wheat In Illinois there does not appear to be much change over last report. The cold did not hurt mo wheat to any approclnblo extent. (Ivor a wide area the plant Is now heading out. In Indiana tho Outlook Is favorable, One or two correluondonts report that tuo wheat was in lured by tho frooze, but for tho most part ao permanent vvil ro4ultod. Ohio report: little injury, lllchlgaii ontlrely escaped loss lu ber wheat, tho cro however, In many casoi having received serious sotbacks. Kentucky wheat suffered exten sively. In some counties tho loss being set at 35 nor cent. 1 bis result was largely OC' castoned by the snow touting down tbe grain. Fortunately tho damage I limited In area, and will not greatly altoct tbe general condition of the State. In Missouri there has besn some damage by frosts, aud dry weather. tliluch bugs contlntio to get tn their work. The crop is now rapidly Improving. Army worms are reported working in some or tne ueids, out no est! mate cau now be made of tbe damage they are doing, rew reports from Kansas ludicute any great loss from the last benvy frost. Chinch bugs and drouth are prov ing mora serious enemies. Tho latter has been holding buck tbo crop for some time, and now that it Is beginning to Load oul the plant It not full grown, and tho yield must of necessity bo light Kuln is badly needed, but Is oven now too lute to give full development to the crop. Ford County reports SO percent, of the winter whoat crop killed by drouth and worms. High winds also havo been an Important factor lu keep ing back tbe crop. Kebruska wheat Is In Very bad shape. In si mo counties It ban been so dry that there Is no longer any hope for apartlal crop Largo areas have been plowed up, and large iiolds tbat aro loft are heading cut so low that the grain win be or small consequence. Tho frost o last week did some damago, but lu a num. ber of tbe counties tbe crop was too far gorlo for anything to hurt It. Here and there Is fouud a good field of wheat, and few counties will have good crops, but for tbe State as a whole tho crop will bo a very llgbt one What little winter wbeat Is grown in Iowa did not sustain any great Injury from frost The tnormomotor sev eral times went down to .12 decrees, but tho winds prevented serious freezing Id Wisconsin wheat is generally good, and little Injury resulted to It from tbe recent cold. Snrlug Wheat. Spring wbeat In Wiscon sin Is In generally (air condition. In Iowa It will bo nearly un average crop. In Mln nesota tho crop was not extensively hurt by frost, though It was washed out a little on rolling land. The coucral condition la tbe State Is good. In Dakota the crop Is In fair condition, except where Injured by the high winds. Some complaints of drouth are made. Iialn Is needed to carry the crop forward at Its present rate ot Improve ment, Oats. In Illinois tho general condition of oats la fair. Tbe cold damaged the crop in April to such an ox tent In some counties tbat tho crop had to be resown. Some of the earliest sown fields were also damaged bv the March freeze, and where not resown are vory thin on the ground, Only slight damage was done uy tne recent com storm. Conditions In Indiana are very similar to those In Illinois. A eood deal was killed by the cold in March, and many fields have not been resown. Very little damage was done by the recent storm. Tbe general outlook In the State Is for a ralr crop, in some counties in Ohio tho first sowlnil was all killed by freezing. Many ot the re sown fields have not done well, borne dam age by cut worms Is also reported. Tbo recent storm did not materially hurt tbo crun. Some counties report the stand verv rood, and tbe aggregate crop of the State will be large. Though tbe crop Is backward in Michigan, on account of the cold, tbe crop promises to be a good one. Few counties in Kentucky report a favor able outlook for oats. In a number of counties the crop is almost a failure from drouth and tho cold In March When) fields wore sown after tbo cold spell the condition Is better. The average condition for tho State is low, and the crop will bo light. Missouri roports that In many coun ties the crop will be llgbt, having been cut short by dry weather, it has also been held back In its development by the cold. The general outlook Is bad, and In some sections there will not be half a crop. In Kaunas the outlook is still worse, an entire failure being reported In some sections. Cold and drouth bare beeu the main factors In cutting down the con dttlon. The crop in Nebraska will be very smalL It Is rare to find a county whore the stand Is good. A raw correspondents report prospects for a ralr crop, but re ports of low condition are more common. Some counties report a total failure while In others the outlook Is for one-fourth or one-half crop. In Iowa some of tho early sown Holds sprouted and froze out Iowa conditions are at present favorable, and the c oo for tbe State will be a fair one. Wisconsin reports conditions favorable for a large crop, and no severe set back to tho crop has been sustained. In Minnesota the outlook Is good, and tbe crop win doubt less he large. In tbo Dakotas the outlook Is favorable at present, but molsturo Is needed In some counties. Corn. Whether or not the corn of Illi nois has beon permanently damaged by tbe recent cold storm Is un open question still. It was certainly set back by the frost In many counties, but hopes aro ex pressed tbat the plant Is merely retarded In its growth, and that if arm weather will repair the Injury. The early sown was In jured tbe most, tbo late sown. In many counties, not being above the ground. Indiana reports slight damage by frost, but at present the weather is too cool for tbe development ot tbe crop. The acreage li large, and with a period of warm weuther tbe development of tho crop win do rapiu, as tnere is a sufficiency ot moisture, un account oi the ul' most constant wet weather for some time past, much of the corn crop remains to be planted. Ohio reports damage by cold and cut worms. It Is too cold and wet for development, but the stand Is very good aud promises a lurge crop. In Michi gan tho cold and wet have hindered plant ing and the crop conditions are doubtful The outlook In Kentucky Is for a fair crop, Tbe cold storm appears to have done con slderable damage, but tbo loss may be re covered, cut worms are working vigor ously in some of the Holds. Corn In Miliourl needs rain aud sunshine. It is In very fair condition, but was checked In growth by tho recent frosts. The dry weather Is enabling the farmers to clear tbo ground. Tbo outlook for Kansas Is favorable, though tho frosts have re tarded development In Nebraska tho reports vary from good to bad. Some sec tions report tho best ttand ever known. while In senil-arld counties the lack ot moisture makes the outlook gloumy. Corn tn Iowa was put back by frost, but is probably all right Cut worms are working In some of the Holds on sod lands. lu Wis consin tho crop had not progressed enough to suffer much loss from tbo cold.

This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in tha cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause.

As a cure for every clans of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and

harmless in all its effects upon 1 he youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. .Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human

family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired- diges

tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of tbe brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the

result. Starved nerves, li'id starved rite lit kind of food is supplied; and

disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital f)rces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food doe3 not contain a sufficient quantity of th a kind of nutriment necessary to repair

the wear our present mode of living

For tins reason it become xmcessary that a nerve tood be supplied
