liberated now for fear he tries to explain it to somebody else. •AThe folly of going to law is related by a man who tells of two farmers who sued over the loss of two sheep killed by a dog. One appeal after another was taken, until the coet of the suit devoured the farms of both men. The case was ended and the only thing left them was the dog that killed the sheep. Better grin and bear it, A young lady found a purse in church, and notified the pastor she had it, so if any one reported the loss it could be returned. The next Sunday the clergyman made the following announcement from the pulpit: “Someone lost a purse last Sunday evening, and if the person wants his property he can go to Helen Hunt for it.” The acceptance of presents by teachers from pupils has been forbidden by a number of school boards throughout the state. This step has been taken because the boards believe that many poor children are embarrassed in their inability to contribute along with the other children. They also regard the practice as tending to influence the teacher’s relations with the pupils. Nothing is so nerve taying as a pair of “squeaky” shoes. To rem edy the tqueak stand the shoes in a tin plate covered with just enough turpentine to reach the line of the inner sole without touching the “upper” leather. Let it soak for a day and then dry for two days before wearing, when it will be found that the soles are not only noiseless,

but waterproof, and will wear almost twice as long. The turpentine seems to harden the leather without stiffening it. To farmers who fear that the drought has ruined the seed wheat now in the ground, a practical farm er recommends the following test betore the fields are replanted. Gather seed from the fields where it has been sown, and place it in a pan of water where it will soon send forth sprouts if the embryo has life, and many dollars as well as much labor will be saved by the experiment. Northwestern Farmer: It is generally supposed that the pig is capable of digesting any kind of food. On the contrary, it can be very easily injured by improper food and will do best on a variety of grass and vegetable. Corn is not necessary except to fatten the bog. Swill for hogs should be fed fresh, and not allowed to stand until sour and disgusting. Experiments at the leading stations still give results which favor feeding meal raw instead of cooking it. Did you ever try to see the wind? It is a very prety experiment and one easily performed. In the first place choose a windy day, then secure a polished piece of metal (a hand saw will be the easiest to get). Hold the metal surface at right angle to the direction of the wind. For example if the wind is in the north hold the saw east and west inclined about forty-five degrees to to the horizon. Now look carefully at the sharp edge and you will shortly see the wind pouring over it like a waterfall - Do not try the experiment on a rainy or muddy day. There are a whole lot of fellows in and about every town who could teach school better than those who are now our teachers; preach better than those who are preaching; run a a store better than the store keeper; plead law better than all the attorneys in the county; run a newspaper better than the men who run them. Yes, the woods, the field, the towns are full of them, but none of them ever taught school, preached, practiced law, run a store or paper and i never will. They have always spent their time in loafing around finding fault with other people, and don’t know enough to do good, honest work, and most of them never will.

The wonderful faculty which onions possess of absorbing disease germs ought to be written in letters of gold before the eye ot every householder, says a French cook, who confessed a liking—vulgar as it is considered—for both onions and garlic. Merely hanging in a net onions will purify an apartment. Especially in cases of smallpox and diphtheria they have great power. A dish of onions sliced and placed in a sick room will draw away the disease. As they give out they should be replaced by fresh ones. For its great medicinal and useful properties the onion merits more particular study. Corydon, this state, has broken the record for oddities at a funeral. The other day a man was overcome by “damps” in a well and was pronounced dead. But the body did not become cold and rigid. The time for the funeral arrived. A number of those present protested against burial. As a consequence a controversy arose when it was agreed to decide by vote if the funeral should proceed. It seems that a good many present did not like to be°cbeated out of the performance and so a majority voted to proceed with the burial and and the poor fellow dead or alive became the victim of the American propensity for voting. If you are deaf you don’t have to serve on a jury. If you are under twenty-one’or over sixty-five you are exempt. If you have ever been convicted of felony yor are dishonorably exempt. If you can’t read and write the English language and thoroughly understand the proceedings ordinarily had in courts of justice you are exempt. If you are a minister, physician, druggist, lawyer, professor or teacher, dentist, oculist, artist, clerk or officer of any court, postmaster, road overseer, coroner, constable, miller, judge of any court of record or superintendent of a county farm you don’t have to serve, and if you are a person of bad reputation or without visible means of support, you couldn’t serve if you wanted to. In the bulletin of the state board of health which has just been issued for the quarter ending September 30th, the following position is taken

on the typhoid fever and hog cholera which it characterizes as “waterborn diseases.” These diseases may be almost banished from the state if proper attention be paid to water. To lose 15,000,000 in Indiana annually from hog cholera marks us as stupid, because it can he prevented. To lose not less than 10,000,000 annually on account of typhoid fever, marks us as still more stupid, because it can be prevented. To almost completely banish hog cholera give the animals pure water from deep wells or else boil every drop they drink. To banish almost completely typhoid fever do the same for every human being. A True Remedy* W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., “Chief,” says: “We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedv until we used Dr. King’s New Discovery. No other remedv can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as as Dr. King’s New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store.
