*1 A Benefactress’ Aind Act From the Evening News, Detroit, Midi. Mrs. John Taneey„ of 130 Baker Street, Detroit, Michigan, ia one of those women who always know just what to do in all trouble and sickness. One that is a mother to those in distress. To a reporter she said: "I am the mother of ten children and have raised eight of them. Several years ago we had a serious time with my daughter, which began when she was about sixteen years old. She did not have any serious illness, but seemed to gradually waste away. Having never had consumption in our family, as we come of good old Irish and Scotch stock, we did not think it was that. Our doctor called the disease by an old name which, I afterward learned, meant lack of blood. ‘‘It is impossible to describe the feeling John <^td I had as we noticed our daughtei •lowly passing away from us. We finally found, however, a medicine that seemed U a 1 i 1 &

help her, end from the first we .noticed e decided change for the better, and after three months^ treatnieot^her health was so greatly improved you would not have recognied her. She gained in flesh rapidly and was toon in i>erfect health. The medicine used was Dr. Williatns' Pink Pills for Pale People. I have alwava kept these pills in the house since and have recommended them to many people. I have told mothers about them and thpy have effected some wonderful cures. “Every mother in this land should keep these pills in the house, as they are good for many ailments, particularly those arising from impoverished o.*-diseased blood, and weakened nerve force.”

Deafness Cannot Re Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused, by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling •ound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; dine rtses of of tfn are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS CHEAP DAIRY BARN. Ctreatar la Shape and Large Eaoaf^ for Thirty Cowi. Bulletin 149 of the North Carolina Experiment station gives plan and detcripiion of a circular barn for 30 cows* {Ye have had the plan engraved, and it explains itself in a great measure. The silo is in the center; a driveway comes next, then three-foot mangers, five-foot platform for the cows to stand on, a P^-foot walk behind the cows, outside of theiy*-footmanure gutter, then a drive?'

iray.> This makes the barn 70 feet in diameter. This form of barn is very compact, and can be built cheaply. No large timbers are required. Sheds for •heats, bulls, calves, teams, swine, etc., arc built outside, in segments of the circle, at a convenient distance from tht barn, and run-yards outside. A feed-room and wash-room arc built on either side of doorway. One room can j be used for separating milk, washroom for pails, etc. ' Other rooms can be built at convenient points, between windows, for bedding material, lyingin stalls, ete.--Ohio Farmer.

EASILY CULTIVATED. Seme ReaioBi Why Sweet Pe«e Should He Planted Everywhere. Sweet peas are among the oldest and most common of the flowers that are cultivated. Their beauty was recognized by our foremothers, who called them “painted ladies," and indeed they do have a very human appearance. The late years have brought increasing appreciation bf these flowers, and the old painted ladies have been broken into innumerable sorts, covering almost every shade from lemon yellow to a purple that is almost black. They come in pure white and in variegations of many J. iuds. and the size of the flowers has been greatly increased. 1 hey are of easiest culture and should be planted as early as it is possib.e to work the ground in the spring. Even if they are nipped by the frost after coming up they are not hurt, and the peas will lie in the ground for weeks v.itnout injury. They should be planted in moderately firm soil, and do better if‘the soil is allowed to get hard about the roots. A row of sweet pea* 50 feet long will produce flowers for all purposes from early in June un.t-il ki.led by the frost if the flowers are kept picked of! as fast as they fade, for when seeds are allowed to form the plant dies. As cut flowers there is nothing better or easier to grow.—Farmers' Voice. , TIMELY DAIRY NOTES. It is neither profitable nor necessary fpr a cow to go dry from four to six weeks. Smoking an ancient pipe in the milkroom or where there is butter shows at once that the smoker is not tit to be a dairyman. A cow should be cared for in proportion to her earnings. Perhaps she observes the same rule, and pays according to the care she gets. Investigate this. The cow that is milked slowly makes less butter than she would if milked quickly. This may seem strange, but Prof.^Babcock has established the truth of this statement. There is no better absorbent for the cow stable than dry earth.N Even where itrsw is plentiful, the use of earth will keep the air pure and the platforms dryer than where straw or ether litter U depended upon. • It is not well to invest in those preparations which are advertised to in* crta.se the amount of butter to be made from a given quantity of milk. The amount which can be made is strictly limited by the amount of butter fat which the milk contains.—Rural World.

KrrplBK Exact Dairy Records. A dairyman should be as much of & business man as these in the mercantile pursuits or-other business vocations of life in the mutter of keeping reliable, exact records of the details of his business, the tests of individuals and their monthly, if not weekly, milk and butter records' Also the cost of food consumed. for it is not only the cow which g^ves the most milk or butter which is the most valuable, but which produces th** largest amount for the least cost. A record should also be kept of each in«l*viuual cow’s offspring and the sire for a cow which is a good breeder, and begets a fine progeny—though she may not be so very good herself—is a firstclass animal for the dairyman.—Dakota Field and Farm. Reform tn W*«ei Bslldta*. A -New Yorker says that roads an principally m^de bad and cut up by wagons rutfing the tracks, and thus rutting is the result of wagons being made to a uniform gauge and running in the same track. Provide that, aftei a date to be fixed, no wagon carrying over 1.000 pounds of freight shall be used unless one axel shall be at least aix inches longer than the other, and the tread not less than three icchea The use of such wagons will compel the removal of rocks or other obstructions from the road track, and will roll down, keep smooth, and level the track and be the most effective agency for good roads that can be deriae<L«-<iood Boida

WITH THE ELECTRICIANS. A French doctor is said to hare inrented an electric helmet, inside of which is a small motor, which vibrates strips of steel, the motor making' 600 revolutions per minute. This whizsing is supposed to cure nervous headache and put the sufferer to sleep. It is said that nearly $14,000 worth of electricity is used nightly in New York city for illuminating purposes. By a late calculation, there are said to be 1,030,468 electric lights, both arc and Incandescent, in use in the city, with .an estimated total candle power of 50,000,000. It is said that the electric railway company of Goteberg, Sweden, has entered into a profit-sharing agreement with its employes. It is reported that under this system the men are more attentive to their duties and better satisfied with their condition than under the old order of things. A unique institution has been started in Genoa, Italy, for the instruction of master mariners, electricians and others who have charge of electrical work aboard ships. The new institute bears the name of Christopher Columbus, and has its quarters on board a vessel in Genoa harbor. A train composed of 11 regular steam railway passenger coaches, with a load of 1,375 passengers, was recently bandied by a singigelectric locomotive over a suburban line near Cleveland. O. This evidently indicates that electricity is alike suitable for the heaviest traffic as well as the lightest. The first third-rail system in Europe, It is said, will probably be the Wann See railway, between Berlin and Zehlendorf. As the result of competitive proposals for a system, capable of coping with the increased traffic on this line, the electrical third-rail system has been adopted experimentally, and should it prove successful will be adopted for the entire road.

FASHIONS IN JEWELS. Among ornamental entomological specimens are June bugs of enamel and diamonds. Indian jewelry furnishes unusual combinations of color, wrought with enamels and stones. Some of the enamelled and gem set watches are made in shape of flowers, fruit and insects. Now is the season for picking up dainty French enamelled pieces in bric-a-brac and toilet wares. Silk and sntin bags mounted in silver, after the fashion of leather ones, are an approved fashion. . Jewels of all kinds and conditions continue to glitter from every possible article cf women’s attire. Hat pins set with mock jewels are worn in great numbers, as many as five and six pins being employed on one hat.. For the convenience.of smokers are ash trays of colored glass, in the shape of the trefoil, and edged with silver gilt. Among incomingiashions is the wearing of a short chain, over the high dress collar, with a locket depending therefrom. Gracef ll in design is a diamond feather breach, which curls over at one cmd, and is decorated with a single large turquoise. Very effective and comparatively inexpensive are silver gilt watches, which receive their ornamentation in colored enamel.

THE HEW WORLD. Interest Is Aroued in tfce Csnsdla West.

The exhibits of grains and grasses, root8 and vegetables, the product of the fertile lands of Western Canada.

which were made at the several state and county fairs -in some of the Western states this fall, have awakened considerable interest in the lands which the Canadian Government has opened * for settlement, and which are given free to settlers. The agents of the government, who are to be found in these states, are flooded with inquiries regarding the conditions oirwhich these lands may be secured. Large numbers have located on these lands anting the past year, and send back to their friends most encouraging reports. They say they have entered on an era of prosperity, and are well pleased with both the agricultural possibilities and the climate. The provinces of Manitoba, Assinaboia and Alberta are especially adapted to diversified farming. In some parts the country is specially adapted to stock raising, and it is being profitably pursued. In these parts snow seldom remains a week at a time, the warm breezes from the ocean affecting the climate thus favorably. When the desirability of these lands is fully known there will be a rush such as has scarcely ever before been known. Information as to lowrailway rates, illustrated pamphlets, etc., will be forwarded with pleasure by the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, if you are not in possession of the name of an agent of the government.

CAUSE FOR ALARM. How baldness begins. J - _ ' • ' How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks from baldness. It adds to the appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The cases are rare when the falling out of the hair may not be stopped, and a new and healthy growth of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the soil. If a plant flourishes, it must have constant attention* it* must be watered regularly and find its food in the soil where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the beginning of baldness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insufficiently nourished, begins to fade and to fall. The instant need in such a case is some practical preparation which, supplying the needed nourishment to the scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength, and so produce a strong and healthy growth. All this is done by Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor, the most practical and valuable preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones up the scalp, does away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling, restores the original color to gray or faded

hair, and gives an abundant and glossy growth. Those who are threatened with approaching baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made by Alderman S. J. Green, of Spencer, Iowa. He writes: “About fonr months ago, my hair commenced falling out so rapidly that I became alarmed, and being recommended Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor by a druggist, X resolved to try this preparation. I have been now using it for three months, and am much gratified to find that my hair has ceased falling out and also that hair which had been turning gray for the past five years has been restored to its original color, dark brown. It gives me much pleasure to recommend tnia dressing.**— S. j. Green, Alderman, Spencer, Iowa. Those who are interested In preserving and beautifying the hair will do well to send for Dr. Ayer’s Curtbook, A story of cures told by tne cured. This book of 100 pages is sent free, on request, by the J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass.
