Do they not deserve a white mark? Holthouse & Callow. j Our pasture fields are often those which will least pay for cultivation; they get no care; and any stock which j picks up an existence off them is considered so much gain, though they do not even pay taxes. These pasture 1 fields can be made better. It would be better if horsesand cattle could drink little and often in cold weather, as well as hot days. Getting very thirsty, they take in so much at one time as to check the process of digestion, instead of assisting it, and chill the whole system beside. Hong Kong is both a city and an island.

In the middle and western states [ farmers who were so unfortunate as to | have a poor class of mares, have made ■ [ good money breeding them to a Shire i [ stallion.

I They have found no remedy that gave , [ satisfactory results for all throat and lung complaints as this great cough medicine. Holthouse A Callow, j ■ A rural candidate who "don't let grass grow under his feet,” published this card in the newspaper: “Spite of war. an’ sword an’ gun, this here state we’ve got to run; while the armies fret and foam, got ter run things at home; let war and soldiers be; come out soon and vote for me! A scandal monger is the pest of a community. Like a snake in the grass, a theif in the night, they seek to destroy the character of others and dragthem down to their own degraded condition. Nothing is so dangerous to the morality and standingof a community as the spiteful scandalmonger. Mr. P. Ketchman of Pike Citv,Cal., says: “During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rhematism, Chamberlain’s Pam Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief." Many othesr have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.

S. “Don’t tangle me up with instructions I am not afraid of the whole Spanish fleet.” were Capt. Clark’s ringing words. And he was not “tangled up.”

The American sheep breeder is authority for the statement that no less than 10 different importations of British sheep have been arranged for, and this number may be increased to 100 importations. We are confident that our own state of Indiana will at least receive four of theseimportations. Indiana has for many years been one of the leading sheep states, and from all accounts she intends to keep her place in the ranks. Farmers who have pinned their faith to horses are about to reap the reward for their belief in the horse. Recent sales show that good horses are scarce and the price for such animals is advancing. The present war demand for horses will aid greatly in advancing prices still higher, and the lucky man who has continued to breed in the face of a falling market is assured of a substantial profit on his product. It is said the government will require about 10,000 horses at once. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results. The first bottle relieved me very ranch and the second bottle has absolutelycured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. Respectfully Mrs. Mary A. Beard. Claremore, Ark.

The Postoffice department has audited the postal account between the United States and Spain and finds a balance approximately, of $50,000 due this country, at the date of severance of friendly relations.

The foreign division of the Postoffice Department has experienced considerable difficulty in the past in collecting balances due from Spain. Suffered 27 years with kidney disease. Mr. G. A. Stillson, a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: "Foley’s Kidney Cure is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face is a living picture of health, and Foley’s Kidney Cure made it such. I had suffered twenty-seven years with the disease, and to-day I feel ten years younger than I did one year ago. I can obtain some wonderful certificates of its medical qualities. Holthouse & Callow. J Some one asked the editor of a country paper how he would "brake an ox.” The editor answered as follow’s: “A good way would be to hoist him up by means of a long chain attached to his tail, to the top of a pole thirty feet from the ground; then hoist him by a rope tied to his horns to another pole. Then descend upon his back a five-ton pile driver, and if that don’t break him. let him start a country newspaper and trust people for their subscriptions. One of the two ways will do it." Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered untold agony from consumption, accompanied by hemorrages: and was absoutely cured by Dr. King's NewDiscovery for consumption, cough and colds. He deelaresthat gold is of little value in comparison with the marvelous cure; would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

Colonel Gunder has decided that there shall be no beer canteen in the 160th Indiana regiment. He thinks that with so many young men intrusted to him, he would be betraying the confidence the parents place in him by allowing an open saloon in camp. He attributes the excellent health of the regiment to the abstinence of alcoholic stimulants. The effect on the health of the Indiana boys, as noticed in the one regiment of Indiana troops which has a canteen shows how detrimental it is. The colonel’s action has universally been commended. What is a “torpedo-boat destroyer?” Some suppose them to be boats which fight with torpedoes, and thus destrow larger vessels, and others think that they are intended to find and destroy stationary torpedoes. Many, of course, have the right notion that they are designed to attack and whip out torpedo boats, for which purpose they are equipped with rapid firing guns for use at long range. Thev also have torpedo boats of the ordinary’ type. In the presence of torpedo* boats the torpedo-boat destroyer fights with guns. Some of the torpedo-boat destroyers are the fastest vessels ever made.
