FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. - BUT HE CAN'T'ADVERTISE. . " A physician sits in his office chair, And there broods on hig face a look of care, ‘While he groans and wails and tears at his hair. : B ““Alas! and alas! and alack!” he cries; “Surely fame and fortune would both arise If old Ethics would let me advertise.” At last a bright thought comes into his brain,; i Bays he: “I must try that old racket, ’tis plain, £ It worked O. K. once, and I'll work it again.” . < He wrote half a page on ‘“The Evils of Pork.” ; G o And the case of a man who swallowed a cork, ] Ard a spoon and a knife, but got stuck on a fork; Told how he cured an imprudent fellow Who swallowed entire a gingham umbrella, And brought it intact from the patient’s patella. The newspapers all extended their thanks; He opened accounts at the various banks: le'd baited with Ethics and caught all he cranks. . L —Chemist and Druggist. CHARLEY, THE MASCOT. The Feline Pet of the United States Cruiser ! Yorktown. Col. John A. Cockerill, the New York Herald's special correspondent, writing from Chemulpo, Corea, sends an interesting story about the sports of the naval officers who happen to be attached to the Asjatic squadron in Corean waters, and also of the mascot _of the Yorktown, “Charley.” Col. Cock"erell writes: ' : I found the United States steamer Yorktown here riding at anchor a mile and a half out in the harbor, and by invitation I visited her this afternoon. She arrived on this station ten days ago, -and Commander Folger and all his officers declare that dull as Chemulpo is they prefer it to Cheefoo, China, their late billet. The October weather here is superb, and the officers of the Yorktown find the shooting excellent. By going up the river in a sampan a few miles they can make a nice bag of snipe,

The Yorktown, despite her steady years of service, is in excellent trim, and officers and crew are proudof her. / ; While on board the Yorktown I was presented-to the feline mascot, “Charley,” the most famous of cats. -“Charley” joined the Yorktown in 1889. He has traveled something like 150,000 miles in her, and is the oldest mémber of the crew, with the exception of one seaman, Martin Foley. Officers and sailors come and go, court-martials are held, desertions take place and penalties are inflicted, but ‘“Charley” remains the pet of the ship and the most exalted cat, marine or otherwise, on the globe. The hundreds of scattered peoule who have served on the Yorktown -will be delighted to learn that “Charley” is still “on deck,” so to speak. He has lost his hearing on account of the heavy firing in target practice, but he is still amiable and lovable. ! They tell a funny story about this famous cat. When the Yorktown was on Behring sea-:duty she moored one day at a dock on the opposite-side of which an English gunboat lay. As was his. wont “Charley” walked out on the dock to take a view of things. Some English sailors, observing his swagger, remarked that “Ginger” should be brought out and introduced. One of them went on board the English gunboat and brought out “Ginger,” a lusty cat of lofty British pretentions and aristocratic mien. The two cats met on the dock and touched noses in a disdainful way, when, all of a sudden, “Charley” let fly his right paw, striking the Briton'on the jaw and knocking him overboard. This act performed he strutted back to his ship as if to say: “Did you see me do 'im?” His performance was cheered by the Yorktown jackies and that cat's stock rose 50 per cent. then and there. The pictureof the Yorktown’s pet which accompanies this is in the possession of nearly every officer and sailor on the Ehip. ;;,-Scoresu of them have been sent home and thousands of people in-the United States know about the York- . town’s feline mascot. All such will be pleased to know that “Charley” is fat and hearty, despite his weight of years, and the most beloved-cat afloat. Hercules and the Hawk. Some passengers over one of the Berlin canal bridges the other day noticed the sudden appearance of two blaci points in the sky at a considerable distance away, which developed into two ducks Behind them, at a lower leve', flew another bird, which suddenly rose into the air above the ducks and’then shot down upon them like an arrow. One of the ducys flew sideways toward the Thiergarten; the other, closely pursued by its enemy, flew slanting into the canal, and, reaching the water exactly behind the bridge, dived, while ~ the hawk, in his blind haste, struck against the head of a statue of Hercules and fell, once more flapping its great wings, dead on the pavement of the bridge. The bird was a splendid specimen, the wings having an expansion of Miss Solidman—Oh, Ethel! do you Mifee e N 200 Mosers (n iy « Miss Sinnick—Why, how can you doubt it, Maude?

WONDERFUL HORSE. Plays the Harmonium and Also Acts .8 a i Nursemaid." - The horse Alpha has astonished London theater goers with his intelligence. A blackboard is brought upon the stage, and he is asked to show his arithmetical powers. The animal turns to the figures, thinks a moment, apparently, and then paws out on.the floor tigure after figure, till his subiraction or addition or multiplication sum is correctly done. Sometimes he makes a mistake, and with an impatient shake of his mane and a vicious light in his eyes, he begins again and rights the wrong. somehow, the British mind refuses to believe that a horse, even of the Alpha

But whether or not his trainer employs these “artistic” means, the result is certainly most striking, and if trick there be, it is concealed in a most marvelous manner. L Alpha also plays the harmonium, and his rendering of “God Savethe Queen” on an enormous keyboard is a startling performance, and a more correct one than in many other cases. The clever creature also selects letters from the alphabet, tells the time, plays a game of nap, and fires a gun, for which latter feat, strange to say, he shows . decided predilection. The. performance ends with a grotesque transformation of the beautiful horse into a nurse in skirts, white apron, tartan shawl and gorgeous pke bonnet. Little Beta, a tat two-year-old pony, which is only just being trained for an artistic career, is caused to sit on its haunches in a perambulator, and the nurse Alpha wheels him across the stage.—N.

A HOG-POWER MII\SAE.

How a Californian Made His Porkers Earn Their Living.

“I was riding through the mountains in Trinity county a few days ago,” said o California miner, “when L happened to take a trail that led by old ‘Burlap’ Johnson’s cabin. I took a dinner—cold corn-bread and bacon—with him, and then sat down for a smoke.

“‘Wouldn’t you jest as socn do your smokin’ outside, podner?’ he asked. “¢Certainly,’ said I, ‘but you don’t object to the smoke of g cigar, doyou?’ I was naturally surprised, for he was already puffing away at an old cerncob pipe. : e *‘No, course not, seein’ as I've smoked nigh on to 50 years: but I want to keep my hogs to worl,’ ! “My curiosity was aroused, but I said nothing. ‘' He took down'a double-bar-reled muzzle-loading slotgun and his powder horn. Then he went out to a shed and got a pan of shelled corn.

“He sat down on a benech at the cabin door, rammed down a couple of charges of powder, and poured a handful of corn in each barrel. He put on a percussion cap, pressed it down with the hammer, cocked 'both barrels, and blazed away at the side hill across the little gulch. : “The roar had not died away till a drove of hogs came running, grunting and squealing, and commesiced to root the side hill for the corn. 4Vhenever they slacked up in their work the old man fired another charge of corn. ~ “‘“That’s a mean trick,” said I. ‘Why don’t you feed it to them in a trough?’ “‘leed it to ’em!’ he rapeated, in amazement. ‘Thenthey woulan’t work. Besides, they don’t need it. ““‘What do you want to make them work for, and why do you waste <orn on them if they don’t need it ?’ : “ “Why, man alive, they ¢ as much work as four men would! They root up the dirt, and when the rain comes, all I have to do is to sluiceat. “Then I understood that he wasg using the hogs to help him mine.” » THEIR OWN SURGEONS.

How Animals Doctor Themselves When : Sick or Wounded.

Animals, when wild, constantly die a lingering death from injury to the skin, whether caused, as usually happens in tropical countries, by weunds aggravated by insects or by cutancous disease. Hence the pains which they take in making their toilet, and in the use and selection of “‘cosmetics.”

Among birds, the salt-water species often seek fresh water to wash in; different land birds choose different earths in which to dust, and also wash in water, and nearly every tropical animal, including the tiger, bathes either in water or mud. - g

Perhaps the best known mud-bathers are the wild boar, the water buffalo and the elephant. The latter has an inexpensive advantage over all other animals in the use of its trunk for dressing wounds. It is at once a syringe, a powdering puff and a hand. - Water, mud and dust are the main “appliances” used, though it sometimes covers a sun-scorched back with grass or leaves.

“Wounded elephants,”” writes Sir Samuel Baker, “have a marvelous power of recovery. When in their wild state, although they have no gifts of surgical knowledge, their simple system is confined to plastering their wounds with. mud, or blowing dust upon the surface. Dust and mud comprise the entire pharmacopoeia of the elephant, and this is applied upon the most trivial and the most serious occasions. They have been seen, whenén atank, to plaster up a bul-let-wound with mud taken from the bottom.” ; ~ An Additional Appellation.

FARM AND GARDEN. THE GRANARY WEEVIL. Best Means of Extermination Is Bisul- ; - phide of Carbon. This is the time of year when the farmer will begin to be worried by the grain-bin beetle. We have heard a great deal about them in time past, and have no reason to expect less trouble in the future. We will describe the illustration. The size of the insects may be seen by the little straight line beside each one, ithe insect as shown being magnified. The mature weevil is seen at figure a. His Latin namie is Calandra granaria. The larva, that is, the form as it comes from the egg, is shown at b. The pupa form is shown at c. At d is shown another insect, the name of which is Calandra oryza. Oryza is Latin for rice, and this insect is popularly called the rice beetle, because he was first discovered in this' grain. There is a striking similarity between this one and the one at a, but the reader will notice that the thorax is a longitudinally punctured. The granary weevil is not an insect of recent discovery. It is about as old as history, and we hear of it anterior to the Christian era. It probably once used its wings, but after many cen-

\ 1 : >/ A / X el il "{7 SN | BN ; C e i D 77 Chonkl ; N ST A e : ‘ kA’ ‘ .'. /% = | g LA™ o S AN =4 é; ?[ 5 turies of sojourn in the granaries of man it seems to have lost that feature. Its wings remain, but he has not had the strength to use them. The head is prolonged in front into a long snout, or proboscis, at the end of which are the mandibles; the .antennae are elbowed and attached to the snout. The larva is legless, considerably shorter than the adult, white in color, while the perfect insect (a) is of a shiny chestnut brown color. The pupa (e) 1s also white, clear and transparent. The report of the secretary of agriculture thus describes their habits:

~ “The female punctures the grain with her snout and inserts an egg, and from this is hatched a larva which devours the farinaceous interior and undergoes its transformation within the hull. In wheat, barley and other small grains a single larva inhabits a kernel, but a kernel of ymaze furnishes food for several individuals. 'The chief injury done by the granary weevil is to wheat, maze and barley, but it also attacks other grains. Unlike the moths that attack grain, the adult weevils feed also upon the kernels, gnawing into them for food and shelter.” The best mode of extermination is by means of bisulphide of carbon, placed in the bins by means of a tube. Care should be exercised to sécure ounly standard quality. Probably this will be best done by getting some that is sold- especially for this purpose, as it is more likely to be of first-class strength. A little work early in the season may save a great deal later on. —Farmers’ Review.

Pasturing Winver Wheat.

~ The subject of pasturing =~ winter wheat has received some attention at the Kansas experiment station. The conclusion is arrived at that pasturing is always an ‘injury to the wheat. The extent of the injury will vary with the character and condition of the soil. A comparison of plats pastured with those not pastured amounted to 114 bushels per acre. The theory that pasturing wheat fields infested by the Hessian fly is a benefit is thoroughly exploded. The pupa of the fly is entirely out of reach of the cattle, being lodged between the sheaths at the base of the young stems below the surface of the ground. Pasturing such fields can only weaken the plants and leave them at the mercy of the fly.—Farnier’s Review.

Preparing Corn for the Crib.

The unusually large crop of corn will no doubt induce many farmers to make the kind of haste in harvesting their corn that in the end means waste. The cribbing of corn is a more important matter than many of us often imagine. Corn that heats in the crib is sure of being lost and every bad ear spoils its neighbor, as certainly as does a rotten apple in a barrel. The farmer should be certain that the corn is thoroughly cured before beginning cribbing. After that push the work as rapidly as possible. It must be husked, cleaned and_ thoroughly sheltered from the weather. The leaving of the silk on the corn is like offering a premium to mice to take up their abode in the erib.— Farm News. Kaffir Corn in Kansas. ' The acreage of Kaflir corn in Kansas this year is larger than ever before. The drought of 1894 taught many farmers that they must prepare for adverse seasons, and the fact that Kaflir corn will stand a dry season when Indian corn will dry up caused many fields to bei-planted with it. The results have been satisfactory. In some counties of the state, notably Montgomery, the vield of the Kaffir corn has run-«s high as 60 bushels to the acre, and 30 or 40 bushels to the acre is considered a very ordinary yield. As a bushel of this corn will go as far in fattening cattle nnd ‘hogs as a bushel of the Indian ‘corn, it can readily be seen that a great point has been gained in its successful production. : Ditches Along Country Roads. Deep ditches and holes caused by grading and excavating for other purposes are common on both sides of country roads. Years ago deep ditches were necessary to carry off surplus water, With the common use of tile, ‘these are now superfluous, and should be leveled as much as possible, so that the roadside can be mowed readily with s machine. lln a few instunces it may be best to leave a shallow ditch, but have its sides slope gradually. Seed all the roadside to grass. They will then hiave to be cut bt once each ségson, and will yield considerable hay, instead of Deing a hotbed for weed sced produce o b R R RUG T eRI G M*m; GG

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. International Lesgon for January 5, 1896 ~Forerunner of Christ—Luke 1:5-17. ‘Specially Arranged from Peloubet’s Notes. GOLDEN TEXT.—Thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways.— Luke 1: 76. . ; £ THE SEcTION includes the whole chapter, Luke 1:1-80, but the portions referring to Mary belong rather to the nexi lessons. TiME.—October B. C. 6 to A. D. 26, PrLAcE.—The angel came to Zacharias in the temple at Jerusalem. The birth of John was somewhere in the hill country of Judea, where the hymns, the Magnificat of Mary and the Benedictus of Zacharias, were uttered. - : EXPLANATORY. 5. “There was in the days of Herod:” Jerod the Great, the founder of the Herodian family and the father of most of the Herods mentioned in the New Testament after the infancy of Jesus. “A certain priest named Zacharias.” The Greek form of the Hebrew Zachariah, the same as Zechariah (*‘remembered by Jehovah”). ‘“And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron,” and therefore in the line of the priesthood. The priests were the descendants of Aaron of the tribe of Levi. Both John’s parents were of priestly rank. 6. “And they were both righteous before God.”. Not in appearance only, butin the inmost depths of their hearts, where God’s eye alone could see. The fountain of action was pure.. “Walking” is a Hebrew metaphor for “living,” “conducting oneself,” in the varicus relations of men to each other and to God. “Commandments.” The moral ‘law. “Ordinances.” Probably the ceremonial l(aw, and the outward religious duties and rules of living. Thus they were ‘‘blameless” toward God and man. :

7. “And they had no child.” To the Jew, childlessness was the worst of all bereavements. It implied—at least, they thought so—the divine displeasure; while it effectually cut them off from any personal share in those cherished Messianic hopes. Tothe Hebrew, heart the message: ‘““Unto you a sonis born,” was the music 6f a lower gospel. It marked an epoch in their life history, This disappointment in their lives led them to prayer and communion with God, as we see by verse 13. - ; 9. “His lot was,” ete. .(See R. V.) The meaning is that after he and his brother priests had entered that morning into the temple of the Lord, they drew lots to determine which part of the service each one should take, and the lot fell to him to burn incense. “Temple.” The central building, she sanctuary, divided into the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies. The common word for temple includes the courts and buildings around the sanctuary here mentioned. ;

12. “Zacharias | was ‘troubled:” agitated, disturbed. “And - fear fell upon him.” Not so much alarm or dread of danger as holy awe. 13. “Thy prayer is heard.” The prayer he had been urging for many years, and the wider prayer which grew out of it, for the redemption of his peopie, and the coming of the Messiah. Both were answered in the forerunner John. “Call his name John.” ‘The grace of Jehovah.” “The gracious gift of Jehovah.” 1t is the same as “Jonah.”

14. “Joy and gladuness.” The latter word means exultant joy, transports of joy. “Many shall rejoice.” This is the answer to the wider prayer for the good of all the people. - 15. “He shall be great.” No small or weak man cowld do the work given himw to do. “Ifgl the sight of the Lord.” . Real | greatness, as distinguished from what men often call greatness. Ile was great in good ness, great in character, great as the servant of God who filled his large soul full of Divine power. “He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink:” i. e., he would be a Nazarite (Num.6:l-5),00ne scparated from others for a particular mission; an example of holiness, of eonsecration,” of self-control, by habits manifested to the world. “Filled with the Holy Ghost:” “Ghost’ is.an ancient word for “spirit.”” To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be illuminated, sanctified, and guided by itsinfluence. “Even from his mother’s womb:” Overcoming his natural bias toward evil. The better the parents, the better the child. I'rom the earliest hours the Divine power can be upon man. 17. “He sh.l go before Him:” before the Lord, to herald His advent and to prepare the way for His coming in the person of His son. “In the spirit and power of Elias:” Greek for Elijah.” He was not to be Elijah restored to life, but one in Elijah’s spirit, doing the same kind of work that Elijah did, and with a similar power. Such isthe promise in Malachi 3:1; 4:4-6, explained by Christ in Matthew 11:14; 17:10-13. *“To turn the hearts of (the) fathers to (the) children:” The reformation was to be felt first in the home, binding all together in love and peace. The Hebrew adds: “the children to their father.” “The disobedient:” the great mass of the people who have turned away from God. “To the,”rather in,as R.V., to walk in the *“wisdom of the just:” Being good is the only real wisdom. Disobedicnee and sin are always folly. “To make ready (continue as in R. V.) for the Lord a people prepared for him:” By his call to repentance, by his denunciation of sin, by his portrayal of the consequences of sin, he was to make ready people who would be wise enough to receive the Saviour.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION. An American Malady Caused by Our Manner of Living. From the Star, Washington, D. C. We Americans hurry too%much. Wedo not take time enough for our meals. We haste to get rich, and wear out our bodies by the strain on our nerves. The result is nervous prostration. - Probably there isno remedy which will\)reach all cases. Pink Pills conie nearer being a specific for it than anything we know, however, and we have just interviewed two Washington people who have tried them for this malady in crder to get some local testimony. The first Is W, _Henrich Robb, of 809 New Jersey Avenue, N. W.: “For a long time,” said Mr, Robb, I suffered horribly with nervous prostration, and tried many physicians and various highly recommended remedies without experiencing the slightest benefit. Last fall my business called me to Pittsburgh, Pa., and while there my mother, who remained in Washington, wrote recommending that I should try/Pink Pills. To please herl procured a bo‘x. At this time and for a long period previousmy condiiion was most de})lorable. I could not walk alone, and had attemlpted to do so would have fallen. After [had taken them for a month I felt stronger than I had for many months. I should have mentioned that, until I bhad been taking the Pink Pills for about a week -and for a lon%time before, I had to force myself toeat, but after the first box of pills had been used by me my appetite returned and I was able to eat ravenously. Ishould also have said that when I began taking the Pink Pills my legs had become as seemed to me like woogen liegs, and my body was fast becoming in the same condition. The use of two boxes of Pink Pills, however, drove all trouble away ‘and I regard therh as wonderful medi¢ine.” = ° ] e o

Miss C. E. Lewis, No. 1228 N St., northwest, one of the teachers in Miss Payne's School of Cookery, says: “Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company’s Pink Pills have been of great benefit to my health. lam very much averse to talking for publication, but feel that I ought to testify briefly to the factsin my case. Ihad suffered from nervousness for a long time and was all run down. I tried various remedies but none of them did me any good. Last summer while in Delaware I was told of some wonderful cures that had been effected by means of the Pink Pills and bought a'box. They helped me wonderfully after taking them for the past few weeks. I have been entirely cured of what was a severe and prolonged attack of nervous prostration.” . Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, ina condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females such as suppressions, 'irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effecta radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork orexcesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (neverin loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of alldrug§lists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ edicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
