When you talk about being the world's leider in any one thing you hare tiblished a wonderful standard of comp: rison. Nothing could be greater and in -this day of tremendous competition it means more than you can really grasp without study to say 4,the greatest in the world." Particularly is thin true of a medicine and it is , such a strong testimonial of great merit that we cannot help but express our satisfaction to learn that CASOAUETS has, to-day. the largest sale of any similar medicini. in the world. In obtaining this, judicious, newspaper advertising has played a very important part, but all the advertising and push and energy would have counted for naught unless CASCARETS had the merit and would do all that's claimed for them. Nothing has ever attained such a large sale in the history of medicine. Over ten million boxes a year and the demand is growing rapidly, because the people take them, like them, they are cured and they recommend them to their friends.

Titles of Doubtful Origin. Continental titles save of the highest sort have been viewed with suspicion in this country, but those of England hare been accepted with almost as implicit faith as Bank of England notes inspire. Yet the herald's college lately made the remarkable assertion that many persons are using bogus titles in England and that others are using titles to which they have not established their claim and probably could not bring any satisfactory proofs. And the editor of Dod's Peerage admits that there are between fifty-six and sixty baronets whose claims would not bear too close scrutiny. . For example, an ambitious and retired business man named Smith may find in some secluded part of the country some lands formerly owned by some extinct family of Smiths who had possessed a title. He buys the property, quietly claims descent and coolly assumes the title. In London such a course would jn-obably be ex posed, but in the country people are less suspicious. Nor is such imposture It seems, contrary to English law. II appears also that many of the titles which enjoy long standing were as sumed in some such way, perhaps centuries ago, and owe whatever validity they have to long use. A general scru tiny of English titles might be a very painful thing. Springfield (Mass.) Re publican. HAD TO GIVE UP.

Suffered Agonies front Kidney Disorders Until Cured by- Doan's Kidney Pills. George W. Renoff, of 1053 North 11th street, Philadelphia, Pa., a man of good reputation and standing, writes: "Five years ago I was suffering so with my back and kidneys that I often had to lay off. The kidney secretions were unnatural, my legs and stocs ach were swollen, and I had no appetite. When doctors failed to help me I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and Improved until my back was strong and my appetite returned. During the four years since I stopped using them I have enjoyed excellent health. The cure was permanent," (Signed) GEORGE W. RENOFF. A FREE TRIAL. Address FosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

A. 11 . foot oil. two pounds Bayherry tauow, two pounds beeswax, two pounds beef tallow. Put the above in a pan over a moderate fire. When thoroughly dissolved add two quarts of castor oil, then, while on the fire, stir in one ounce lampblack. Mix well and strain through a fine cloth to remove sediment; let cool and you will have as fine a dressing for harness or leather of any kind as can be had. WHAT MILK CONTAINS. The greit, majority of the people do not try to know what are the component part3 of the foods they eat or drink. Here Is something for the boy and girl readers of the Agriculturist to fix In their minds. One hundred pounds of good milk contain about the following amounts of the different constituents: 87 pounds of water, 4 pounds of fat, 5 pounds of milk sugar, 3.3 pounds of casein and albumen and 7 pound3 of mineral matter of salts. LANGSHANS AND BLACK COCHINS A Black Cochin hen, like any oher Cochin, requires plenty of time for maturity, often not laying until fully grown, while the Langshan hen often begins to lay when but little over five months old. The Cochin is the more persistent sitter, while the Langshan does not show a strong propersity for 30 doing, but does her work well when she begins, the same a3 the Cochin. A Langshan can fly hth for a large fowl, while the Cochin Is no flyer at all. The Langshan always has dark legs, with pink between the toes, while the bg3 of the Cochin may be either dark or yellow. The skin of the L'Egshan Is white and the flesh fine in grain, but the Cochin ha3 yellow skin and rather coarser-grained flesh. The carriage of the Langshan is majestic, and Its beauty of plumage is increased by the long sickle feathers, while the Cochin is more compact In body and should have no sickle feathers, except such as are short t.nd abruptly turned over. DEHORNING. The editor of Farm and Home says: The views arising in consequence of the dehorning of dairy cattle at the Connecticut AgricuTtural Experiment Station are well worthy of being given the fullest publicity. They should be known to all who own such cattle. Quite a number of cattle of this class had the horns removed at the institution named. At different times opportunity was in this' way given to study and compare all the Influences of the operation. Thus it came to be held by those participating that "the pain of the operation of dehorning has been overestimated. The mortality is practically nothing." The almost unanimous opinion of those who have practiced it In their herds is in Its favor. . "The worry, pain and cruelty of animal3 to. their mate3 is eliminated when these instruments of torture are removed, and the lack of fear and quite contentment of the individuals of the herd are at once noticeable." . SELECTING SEED CORN. The true selection of a better breed of corn is not confined to the selection of the best ears by any. means, although this Is the popular idea of corn improvement. As every corn raiser knows, certain seed will raise corn that is almost ideal, so far as the ear goes, but there are but few ears on a plant Thi3 being the case, it Is evident that the true selection of corn is the selection of the plants which show the desired characteristics all through their growth up to the time of harvest, so that the plants should be closely watched from the time they break ground and thus securing he habit of growth as well as the perpection of ear so desirable. Many of the plants will make a stronger growth than others and ripen the full crop earlier; if such a plant Is what is desired, it can only be found by watching its growth through the season. Then If the yield Is all that is desired one comes pretty nea'r having the Ideal plant and one which Is, probably, capable of even greater improvement. WASHING IHISH POTATOES. A Michigan farmer who handles over 2,000 bushels of potrtoes each year, washes every bushel. He says: "For five years I have washed all potatoes and have never lost a bushel by rot after I put them away in the cellar. I dip with a digger and pick up the potatoes a3 fast as they are dip. They are then hauled to a suitable rack for washing, where a mill hose Is turned on them with forty pounds of pressure. In this way 100 bushels are washed clean enough In ten mlnute3 to bake or boil. I let them He for a few minutes only, then pick them up and put In one bushel crate, after which they stand in the sun or wind for fvom,two to three hours, long enough to dry nicely. The potatoes are then packed away In a cool, dry cellar, where they remain until wanted fo;use or to sell. "I have found this to be the most practical way to care for potatoes cr other roots. The potatoes Lein In tushel crate 3 are ready to cell fcy" the lead cr bu-hel and can ts handled very quickly and cheaply. No neurIzz Is cccc::iry, eo vlr;bin- rc ! c circ-ij to czl era er r!---"

WATCH THE LITTLE Pms The systematic man on the farm is I - - aai ill 13 the one who generally makes the I monev. At ft Farmp' fnfifi,. i ei I - - - iuMlulo 41i 1 x linois, one of the hog growers made I a cfntnmn.l J - i -1- t . a statement which showed wonderful results. He said: I 'T F VA11 41eA Sa If you take a litter of nie ti,A mornine after thpv nr hn- ota them In a basket and on the scales, you will find they weigh all the way from sixteen to eighteen pounds, ac cording to the age and size of the mother; then if you weigh them the next morning, and every twenty-four hours In succession, you will find that they have made a live-weight gain of all the way from two pounds, three, three and one-half, four, and as high as five pounds, and In order u gain this weight the sow must have given at least consideration twentv-flv or thirty pounds of milk during the twenty-four hours. This is the way I have milked her. It take3 eleven pounds of milk to make one pound of live-weight In a fifty-pound pig, and so I can easily calculate. I don't know how many litters of pigs I have weighed on my place. Now, then, gentlemen, If you have a mother that is a good milker, a good mother of a kind disposition, and of good bearing, keep her on the farm, and do not dtecard her and breed from immature hogs. They should not farrow until they are tweleve months old." POULTRY NOT ES. The time of hatch, more than th& breed, regulates laying. In-breeding should not be tolerated for more than two years. Keep all buildings for poultry well covered with whitewash, put on thick. The best stock Is the cheapest, therefore, never sell the best and never buy anything but the be-,r. Fow'is in confinement need a variety of food, and one of the most important of them i3 green food of some kind. Put a good flock of hens In the plum orchard and the trees will be less subject to curculio and will produce good crops of fruit. In no case can we make good, mature fowls of poorly-fed and badlymanaged chickens. It is economy first and last to feed well. So far as can be done, green food should form a part. of the daily rations through the year, as It seems necessary to Insure health, productiveness and fertility. A stale egg which remains In one position for a number of days has the yolk adhering to the membrane of the shell. The position of the germ often causes the embryo chhken to hatch either weakly or deformed. The poultry business is one of many details, and they need close following. Unless a person is willing to give attention to little things, and not only to, them once, but many times, as occasion may require, It Is not advisable to go into the business very extensively. JAPAN'S CONSTITUTION. How It Differs From the Constitutlons cf Occidental Nations. There Is an important difference between the constitutions - of Western nations and that of Japan. The former are the outcome of popular uprisings against the tyranny of rulersin other words, cf a demand, as of natural right, by the people. Consequently, even in monarchical Europe, constitutions are drawn in such terms as to lay the greatest stress upon popular rights, while at the same time curtailing the power of the sovereign. The Japanese constitution, on the other hand, emanated from the Emperor, the fountainhead of all power. Before the people dreamed of popular rights or of a Parliament, the Emperor had already marked out the grand policy of establishing constitutional government in the future, because of his evident desire and purpose to elevate the country to an equal place among the civilized nations of the world, not only because he wished it, but also because that course was in strict accordance with the national policy bequeathed by his ancestors. Following that policy, our constitution was drawn up with close adherence to and careful preservation of the fundamental principle of the Imperial Government from time Immemorial. In form, however, It Is similar to Western constitutions, with this difference, that the text of our constitutions contains only the fundamental principles of state namely, the prerogatives of the Emperor; the rights and duties of thie people; the powers of Parliament; the powers and duties of ministers of state and . judiciary and finance. These are all embodfed In seventysix articles. Matters of detail, such, for example, a3 provisions relating to the rules and proceedings of Parliament, the laws for the election of members, the national budget, etc.; are separated from articles enunciating fundamental principles, and are embodied In laws supplementary to the constitution and enacted at the same time.

"Weighing Out Change. From far-away Ohio comes news

the death of one of the- original pioneers of the Transvaal gold fields when these were what may be called rediscovered in the early '80s. Every man who visited Moore's In 1SS4 will remember the quaint dispenser of tinned provisions, sugar and whisky, in his Bucksall establishment, consisting of canvas and pole framework. When you got anything from him over his rickoty counter you did not get ordinary change for your sovereign. Dust currency was In fashion. If you would not accept gold dust for your change you had to wait till sliver was flush. If you accepted the dust, "Yankee Moore' would take a thing like a small screw of tobacco out of his waistcoat pocket and hand it over to a man standing at a little pair of scales. The precious packet would be opened, the amount of dust wanted to make up the change weighed scrutlnizlngly off, the screw would be twisted up again and placed In Moore's waistcoat pocket, while the customer walked off. Moore dealt in the gold at 3 10s an ounce and got $3 12s Cd for It at Martizburg. And now Moses Moore is dead. f Moore had a very adventurious career, being born as far back as Aug. 3, 1822. He had been on most of the gold fields of the world and landed at Capt Town in 1SS2 without a dollar. He managed to scrape a few dollars together, and started a refreshment 6tand, doing all his own cooking and serving. When he had accumulated 50 he went to the Transvaal, which he left in 1SS9 with a fair competence. South Africa. Man and WiTe. Buxton, N. DM Sept 12. (Special.) Mr. B. L. Skrivseth of this place has been added to the steadily growlug following that Dodd's Kidney Pills nave in this part of the country. Mr. Skrivseth gives two reasons for his faith in the Great American Kidney Cure. The first is that they cured his wife and the second is that they cured himsejf. , "I must say," says Mr. Skrivseth, "that Dodd's Kidney Tills are the best remedy for Kidney Trouble I ever knew. My wife had Kidney Disease for years and she tried all kinds of medicine from doctors but It did noi: help her any. An advertisement led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first box helped her so much that she took eight boxes more- and now she is cured. "I also took three boxes myself and they made me feel better and stronger in every way." Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to cure any kidney disease from Backache to Rheumatism, Diabetes or Bright's Disease. A Question of Time. On entering a compartment of a maiD line train a ticket-collector noticed a passenger who, affecting an air of familiarity with him, said, "Bill, I've forgot my pass. I'm working down the line, you know. It'll be all right." The collector looked suspicious, but Raid nothing. He was going away, when apparently an idea struck hira. Turning to the passenger who had no ticket, he said, "What's tbe right time? My watch has just stopped!" "Twenty minutes past five," was the reply. "Oh, it is, is it? Now, If you don't show me your pass or pay the fare I'll have you out. No railway man would say 'Twenty minutes past five; he'd say 'Five-twenty!' " The passenger paid.

The sight of a full-grown centipede Is said by travelers in tropical lands to be enough to affect the strongest ' nerves. Ten to eleven Inches i9 the average length. Lafcadlo Hearn. in : "Two Years in the French West Indies," says that the vitality of the cen- . tipede is amazing. j Mr. Uearn kept one In a bottle, without food or water, for thirteen weeks, at the end of which time It remained active and dangerous as ever. The cer tipede has one natural enemy able to cope with him, the hen. The hen attacks him with delight, and often ywallows him, head first, without taking the trouble to kill him. The cat hunts him, but she is careful never to put her head near him. She has a trick of whirling him round and round upon the floor so quickly as to stupefy him; then when she sees a good. chance she strikes him dead with., her claws. There are superstitions concerning' the creature which have a good effect in diminishing his tribe. If you kill a centipede you are sure to receive money soon; and even If you dream of killing one it Is good luck. WHAT'S THE USE To Keep a "Coffee Complexion." A lady says: "Fostum has helped my complexion so much that my friends say I am growing young again. My complexion used to be coffee-colored, muddy and yellow, but it is now clear and rosy as when I was a slrl. I was induced to try Postum by a friend who had suffered Just as I had suffered from terrible Indigestion, pal pitation of the heart and epells. sinking "After I had used Postum a week I was so much better that I ;; was afraid It would not last. But now two years have passed, and Lam a well woman. I owe it all to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. "I had drank coffee all my life. I suspected that it was the cause of my trouble, but it was not until I actually quit coffee and started to try Postum that I became certain; then all my troubles ceased and I am now well and strong asain."

Fibroid Tumors Cured.

A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. H ayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia R Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Sirs. Hayes First Letter Appealing: to Mrs. Pinkliaui for Help : "Dear 3Irs. Pixkitam: I have been under Boston doctors' treatment for a long time 'svithout any reliet They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. 3Iy appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to vou for advice." (Signed) Mrs. E. F. IIayes, 252 Dudley St, (Koxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice although she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine which she knew would help her her letter contained a mass of additional instructions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring: about the happy result. "Deati Mrs. Pixkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing üls of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation Surely tho volume and character of the testimonial letters we are daily printing in the newspaper? can leave no room for doubt Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.
