Unties of a Farmer » Wiff. The following paper was resol before the Pike county farmers* institute by Mrs. Orion Peed of Monroe township: When tuen go a wooing we think it very important they choose their partners judiciously (of course they have the choice.) The minister, lawyer and so on down the line, bow often have we heard it said that man would be successful in his calling in life if U was not for his wife. Now, dear sisters, we do not want to give any of you a curtain lecture, neither do we wish, to hold the men uuder our thumbs (but some of them would be better off if we had them there! it is the desire to bring before the institute the duties of a farmer's wife iu such a manner that, might lighten the burden of many who are cumbered about with joany things. How many are the duties of wives in this broad land of ours today? Although the duties of a farmer’s wife are almost without number, we may iu this simple f<aper call to»notice the duties of w.ves of men iu other pursuits iu. life, and perchance it would have a teudeucv to give cheer to some who may think their duties greater than their sisters. We are willing to bear criticisms, and do hope to receive it in a friendly manner if we should exaggerate in any way, and we must call to uotice that some of our sex do that sometimes wbeu we speak of the many duties we have to perform, forgetting that the men have their share of burdens also, and vice versa. The first essential duty for a farmer's wife is to have the farmer, the farm and the home built, then what is any nearer paradise in this* worid to begin with? It be very necessary that the wife have a love for the life she ii to lead, we do not think it ‘ any.more esseutial that the farmer’s wife should know how to plow or to reap (utiles® she be the farmer) thaft for the lawyer’s wife to be able to plead his case in court, but in lighter work we think it no win, if she lend a hand if the time is to spare and : the case demauds tt. The desire of all

wive* should l»e to make home just the place God would have it be, where our children can prow to be useful men aud women. Bov many of our farmer women think it not their duty to beautify their homes, but i constantly desire to buy more land? When j our country women opeu their eyes and 1 realize how they can happily educate and promote the best interests of their children, j by reading good books anti music iu their j homes, perhaps there would not be tbe j teudency for tbe boy* to go to town ami j the girls marry a dude. Women always! have beeu reformers, and if we want our burdens lifted we must in a measure bo it j ourselves, by letting go of many things s which our grandmothers did—the tuen are . constantly improving in their methods of work; can we not be a* progressive as they? : We do thiuk it a duty of every farmer' woman to have at least one magazine in f tbe borne from which she can gather useful j knowledge, and by which she can fashion I her and her daughters’dress’#. that when they go to town they may not be the subject of ridicule—an? sorry soma women have not tbe money to subscribe for one. We earnestly desine that every farmer in this institute subscribe for some good ladies’ magazine for his wife a Christmas present, and try the effect it will have ou her. How often has it been said that charity begins at home—and how often it never leaves there? We think epch one owes something to their pmgkttor by sharing in their joys and sor

rows as well. There are a great many demands on farmer women to contribute to elnuwh socials, and we believe it a duty to contribute according as God has prospered us, if that be but a kind word or a smile. Dear sisters, as the short days are now upon us, let us plan some evening amusements, it will encourage the children and make our husbands feel young again. In fact it is a doty to be young in heart though our hair be streaked with gray and our form bent with rheumatism. The winter is the time to look after the clothing and general household sewing, uot waiting till spring ushers in such an endless amount ol work, that our tired brains and aching limbs are in no condition to enjoy the loveliness of nature. Let us use more thought m our work and less elbow grease, both are very necessary to the farmer’s wife when used in harmony with each other. Can we not get a few labor saving contrivances that may lighten the many duties w« have to perform? In fact we know that many of our women are awake and know that they must save strength. One way of saving strength is leaching the children to do what they can to keep the household machinery in motion. Let us put all the cheerfulness aud sunshine iu our homes possible, aud perhaps the men will not loaf at the village store so much. Coutentnieui and eeouomy are two very important things in family life. There are many families iu exactly the same position in which the old prophet prayed to be having, neither “poverty nor riches.” It is the wife as a general rule who regulates I the expenditures of the household aud manuer of living which much thought should be given. We would like to speak of some of the duties of husbands, for it must not be forgotten they have some duties that are important in household affairs, but | it appeal's from the subject that the woman is the one to whom the encouragement aud I advice roust he given, and it leaves us to suppose she is the main factor in the partnership. If the wife is contented and happy her husband is likely to be. Don’t look for the flaws as vou go through life; Aud even when you flud them. It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind, And look for the virtue behind them.

The towing Woman Who goes to the club while her husband tends the baby, as well as the good-old-fashioned woman who looks after her home, ! will both at times get run down in health. They will be troubled with loss of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness; fainting or diziv spells. The most wonderful remedy for these women is Electric Bitters. Thousands of sufferers from lame back and weak kidneys rise up and call it blessed. It is the medicine for women. Female complaints and nervous troubles of all kinds are soon relieved bv the use of Electric Bitters. Delicate women should keep this remedy on hand to b.uild up the system. Only 50c, per bottle.

How to Find Out. Fill 4 bottle nr common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble-. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the kidueys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that I>r. Kilmer’s SwampRoot. the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beerp and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

m Shoot in? Affray at St eudal. Monday evening the trouhle between Dr. Clifford and Chris Weisman at Stendal, culminated in the shooting of young Edward Clifford (by the latter because he had espoused his father’s cause. Rumors from here say ! that the trouble began Friday evening when Dr. Clifford, somewhat under the influence of liquor, became involved in a quarrel with Weisman, which was renewed t|he following evening, Edward Clifford joining in and taking his father’s part. Monday evening as young Clifford was riding through Stendal and passing W.eisrnan’s house, the latter came out and hailed him. Up to this time it seems the Cliffords had been the aggres-ors; but now Weisman, after halting Clifford, produced a shotgun and emptied one barrel at him. presumably hitting him in the head and face and on Clifford starting to ride off let him have the second barrel in the back. The gun was loaded with No. 4 shot and evidently did considerable damage, as the young man was seen in a terribly bloody condition riding toward home. Young Weisman is a son of Henry Weisman of this city.— Huntingburg Argus.

The teachers who bought them, at a recent institute, wrote out? tue following and handed it to the trustee, which should fully satisfy the Pressou that point: Spurgeon, Imi, Jan. 8, 1898.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Always Prores Effectual. There are no better medicines ou the market than Chamberlain’s. We have used the cough remedy when all others failed, and m every instance it proved effectual. Almost dailv we hear the virtues of Chamberlain's remedies extolled by those who have tts-ed them. This is not au empty puff, paid for at so much a line, but is voluntarily given in good faith, iu the hope that suffering humanity may try these remedies and, like the writer, be benefited. —Frojn the Glenville (W.
