After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of rhronlc and apparently incurable constipation yielded to the scientific food, (J rape-Nuts, in a few days. "From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously going frcm one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time. "A prominent physician whom I consulted told me the muscles of the digestive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known, but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre-digested food, rape-Nuts. "Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Crape-Nuts digested iinmedi ately from the first and In a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed.

Civil War Stories 8 A Visit from Lincoln. Col. Harry L. Benbow, of South Carolina, being once in a reminiscent mood, was asked by a friend to tell him his most striking experience during the Civil War. He began by saying that on April 1, 1805. he commandkJ three regiments at Five Forks, near Petersburg, Virginia. Reing shot through both hips, he was captured ind carried to City Point, Virginia, Hospital, where he was placed in a ward occupied entirely Ly Federal officers. He was well cared for, having ?very simple luxury which the 8xi;ency of the times would permit. After being there a few days, it was reported through the ward that the President of the United States would on the next day pay his wounded officers at City Toiut a visit. On the morning of April 8, 18t, a day which I shall never forger, my attention was attracted to a considerable bustle at the entrance of the ward farthest from my cot; and in a few moments the ioor was thrown open, and I beheld a splendid display of military ofiicers, clad in the pomp and glitter of war, plenty of dancing plumes and gold braid, and oots up to mid-thigh. It was the President's military family icting as his escort. ' ' Last of these came a tall, gaunt, ungainly figure, clad in sober Mack the President himself, whom I Immediately recognized. He would have attracted attention, I think, amrng any nsembly of men that could have been brought together in the world, so striking was the nobi'.Vy and the benevolence of his countenance. He walked down the long aisle between the rows of cots on each hand. Iiowlng and smiling, and saying "Oood morning I" to the different occupants as he passed. Arriving at length opposite where I lay, he halted beside my bed and held out his hand. I was lying on my back, my knees drawn up, my hands folded across my breast. Looking him in the face, as he stool with extended hand: ".Mr. President," I said, "do you snow to whom you offer your hand?' "I do not," he replied. Wcll," I Faid, "you offer it to n Confederate colonel, who has fought you as hard as he could for four years. ."Well." said he, "I hope a Confede rate colonel will not refuse me hi hand." "No. sir." I replied, "I will not," and I clasped his h.nd in both mine. I tell you. sir, he had the most mag nificent face and eye that I have ever gazed Into. He had me whipped from the time he first opened his mouth. If he had ever walked up and down Confederate line of battle, there would never have beu a battle. I was hi?,. body and soul, from the time I felt ' the pressure of his fingers. He talked to me for t?n minutes, most kindly and sympathizingly, and when about to leave, he shook hands again, and hoped that I would soon be restored to health and m3 family and friends. Ho knew, although I did not. that In a few days General Lee inr.st surrender at Appomattox. He left me. and I saw him for the first and last time. Not lor.g afterward the news crime to us that he was dead, and I turned my face to the wall and wept. A Wnr-TInie Christmas. Some of the, scouts had brought n word that a guerrilla leader whom we had long sought to kill or rapture was at a farm house five miles away, having only a man or two with him. Tie orders were to take tifty men and setk his cat tu re. It was the night before Christmas 'm one of those last bloody years of wn. There was a light snow on the grou i and the wind had an edge which ct like a knife. In some of those u.d Virginia farm houses, ;wlth their fireplaces, Christmas bad come a. id gone for the children ind their chil dren. The red hand of war had burned some to the ground; iu otheis there was mourning and those who mourned thought not of the day. As we rode off up the mountain road and saw the farm house lights twlnk'e here and there I wondered f San',i Claus would be forgotten in all of them. There were children there, and, though war's musketry had kept them fear.'ul and war's blook stains had paled their faces, they surely would not forget the legend of the reindeers and the chimney. So I hoped, at leas:. It was a cold, dreary ride, but we reached the old farm house at last. scout sent on ahead came back o repcrt that our man was there. It was his home his roof-trce. Dangerous a.? he knew it to be, he had stolen back n this night before Christmas to spend .i few hours with wife and children with the gray-haired father and mother who sat in the chimney corner on tjjs night and smoked their piies. sa.v them through the window as we moved up to surround the house. I saw, toe, a couple of children seated together thf knee of the man we had o:ne t surprise, and besld? him, wilii her hand on his shoulder, was the wife. And I saw another sight as I stood fir a moment a sight that struck me like a blow. There beside the old-fashion:?:! fireplace hung two little stockings, waiting the coining of Santa Clair ! Others saw it too. and they groan-d on; as if wounded. Well, the man refused to surr t. He did not know our strength, and p- jhaps he hoped to beat us off. He kii;-d two of our men and wounded a Ju.d rigl'.t on the start. Then our men began firing into the hous-?. It was i.l over in five minutes. We entered ) f'n:d the man lying desperately woueOed. P.eyond him lay one of the m.!drcn gasping its last, and at the niit of the fireplace the old gray-hair d father with his life-blood welling out 01 a wound in his side. We had captured our nun, but lu was no cheering. There lay our b a 1 under the leaflets pear tres. but ,o one stood over them with words of regret. We stood there .ind lookM at those little stockings until the mem ory of them was burned Into our ve y souls forever and forever. The wlf shrieked curses upon our heads. The aged mother knelt and prayed God to punish us, and now and then the dyi -g father groaned as his life ebbed away. And yet we neither seeniyd to see cr hear. There against the manrel nu-g the home-knit blue stockings which .mhad filled with woe and wretchedness and sorrow as our gifts. Täey v e the last things we saw as we silenl'y drew away from the house they seemed to hang bifore us as we rode

) Pnid HI War üelit. John Railoy. who resides about four miles from Trimble. Tcnn.. is one of the happiest men in the country. The cause of his exuberant joy. says the ('lobe-Democrat, is the receipt a day or two ago by express of $CS5, not a cent of which he ever expected to receive. In 1804 a squad of the Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania cavalry who were out on a scout endeavoring to learn something of the movements of Gen. Forest, camped at a spring near Mr. Ratley's residence. The following morning, before departing from the neL-hlorhood, they rode up to Railey's. all but one, who was walking, and he went to the barn and led out the finest horse there. Ralley expostulated in vain. "Let that horse loose! I wouldn't take $2."i0 for that horse, you low down yankee thW!" he angrily exclaimed. "Don't worry yourself so, pardner," mildly replied the soldier. "You see my horse died with the colic last night, and I am bound to have another. If I were to depend on my feet to pet me out of this country Forest would get me sure." "I wish he'd get every one of you. confound you." replied the owner of the animal. "I'll tell you what I'll do," continued the trooper; "if you will tell me your name and I get through this blamed war alive and ever get able. I will send you the money for the horse." "My name is Joan T. Railey. d n you. but I'lf never hear from you again, you d n yankee thief." "That may be," smiled the soldier "but wait and see," and amid a roar of laughter from his comrades, he mounted the horse and with them rode away. At that time Railey was well off In this worlds goods, and the loss of the horse ocns!oned him no pecuniary era barrassment. Rut since the war he has met with many reverses. He has been compelled to sell part of his farm at various times until he now has but forty acres, and this spring he was compelled to mortgage that for $200 In order to obtain money to purchase seed and some badly needed farm implements. A few days ago he received a letter which reads as follows: Reading. Ta., April 3 John T. Railey, Trimble. Tenn. Dear Sir: I suppose you remember one April morn lag In 1SC4 when a squad of yankee soldiers, as you called them, came tc your house and one of th m rode ofl one of your horses, which you said wa? worth $2"0? The yankee promised tc pay for the horse If It was even In his power to do so. I am that same yankee. Fortune has dealt very harshly with me until the last few years, since which time I have accumulated considerable property. I am getting old now and taking your horse was as near stealing as I have ever been guilty of, and I wish now to pay for him. I learn from your postmaster that you are still In the land of the living, and have had pretty hard luck, which I hit sorry to hear. I send you. by to-day's express, JOSo, which allows you G pel cent Interest. We will, likely, nevet meet again In this world, but I hope to meet you In that land where therf is no sectional hatred.- Trusting 300 may prosper. I remain, yours truly, FRANK K. WALLDRAN. Ca nip Fire S lories. Charley Rennett was a drummer boy who went out with us from (Julncy, III. He slept In a tent by himself, but when the weather got cold he came Into the adjutant's quarters, asking If he could not sleep with somebody so that he might be warmer. That same evening a poor, tired contraband had reached camp, asking for something to eat and a place to sleep. He had been given his supper and shown to a bed of hay and blankets at the far end of the quarters, where he then lay fast asleep. "There." said the adjutant to Charley, "there is Tommy Broaddus fast asleep. Go and crawl in with him, but mind, now. don't wake him up." Tommy Rroaddus' was the major's son, and was a chum with Charley. The boy stripped and crawled under the blankets with the contraband, and there they both slept locked in each other's arms until late the next morning. Charley woke up first, and was hugging his bedfellow to his breast, when he haplened to see his face. "Mercy, Tom! What's the matter with you? You look like a nigger." Just then the negro awoke, and seeing himself In the close embrace of a white boy, he jumped from the bed, exclaiming, with in jured feelings: "Von Jest ought to be ashamed of yourself to sleep wld a nigger. You ain't got any manners, you ain't." It was also a long time before the wounded. feelings of Charley were healed. The Old Home Taste. The wants of mankind, both spiritual and material, must be met In Individ ual ways, or else the recipient Is vic timized. One cannot judge another by himself, else his endeavor may receive such response as is related by Con stance Cary Harrison in her account of Richmond Scenes In '02." During the first part of the war the Confederate wounded brought to that city were treated to the most tempting luxuries, riitting about the streets In the di rection of tho hospitals, white-Jacketed negroes carried silver trays laden with soups, jellies, creams, delicate biscuit and chicken. A year later we came to pine after such culinary dainties, as we gave out meager portions pf milk and other plain food. Sometimes, however, the delicacies were not appreciated. My mother one day urged uion a sufferer a gaunt, soft-voiced Carolinian from the p!ny woods a delicately served trifle. "Jst as you say, old mis, he at last responded. "I ain't eontridicting you. It must be good for me, but my stummick's kinder sot agin it. There ain't but one thing I'm corter y'arnln' ar;er, and that's a dish of greens and bacon fat, with a few morlasses poured onto it."

Dirty troughs and fiors will quickly hrow the hogs out of condition. From the first of April to the last of May is the lest time to do your hatching. Ry feeding his corn to hogs thefarm?r saves the hauling and prevents the oss of fertilizers, x To attempt to fatten sheep affected with lice or scab is to court loss and possible disaster. Paralysis in young pis is brought alout bv too heavy feeding. Take, away the sorn and feed only milk and bran. The hog having a variety of food will thrive and maintain a healthy ap pearance much longer than one kept on a single food ration. A low down knee is desirable in a horse, enabling the animal to make a long stride more quickly than when the knee Is set higher up. Never give young pigs more at one feed than will be eaten up clean, but enough to give contentment. The pigs should come to feed next time with a rush. It Is estimated than the cost of main taining IOO breeding ewes in good con dition is $1 per day, or 1 cent per head, when kept on corn fodder, beets and oats. Keep picked up an und the honietead. and around the stock buildings. too. Nothing is so sure an index of the character of the farmer as the condition of the grounds about his place. Rreeders like to have sheep with plenty of meat on the under part of the lody. A thick dock and thick, strong neck are also necessary, by which can be judged the amouut of muscle along the back. The Wisconsin experiment station has been comparing the cost of production of mutton and beef. One hundred pounds of gain was made by a wether lamb on 384 pounds of corn, 200 pounds of corn fodder and 32 pounds of potatoes. To produce 100 pounds of gain in a steer required .tfU pounds of corn, 18T pounds of bran and 04." pounds of silage. The fellow who said that the third move is as bad as a fire evidently had good roads In mind when he sjoko. There are some stretches of road in parts of the country nowadays where even one move would be worse than a fire. In this case you would have a bad lot of kindling wcnhI on hand, which in ease of a fire would have le"n prevented. Angora goats are profitable. When the mohair is of good length and clean It commands a re.tdy sale at good prices, but short, dirty mcfiiair is never readilj salable. This fact has led many to become discouraged in keep ing goats, since they lelieve It to be impossible to keep them clean. This is not true, as the experience of many good goat raisers has proven. Paint preserves the worid. and I: pays to put it on a building whenever need ed. There is no economy in letting the house or barn go without paint. The lumber will soon rot or warp and have to be replaced at two or three times the cost of paint necessary to have preserved it. The farmer had better spend a few dollars i;i paint than many dollars for repairing his buildings. Proper Feeding of I'Irs. There Is a difference between growing and fattening pigs. During the early period of a pig's life the feed hould be moderate in quantity s-'ml bone and muscle building in quality. Young swine should not lie kept fat, but in good flesh and in a thrifty, growing condition. They should be allowed the chance of large, free ex ercise in the open. Pigs cannot grow good, large frames for top-notch finishing when confined in small inclosures. Exercise and a variety of feeds rich in mineral matter and nitrogen will make them grow strong, with healthy vital organs. Circulation and respiration must be 5000S in a hog for it to mature properly and ward off disease. After the pig has acquired a good frame and is past the age of 4 to d months then it may be confined in closer quarters and fed on a more fattening and exclusive diet. It is in a physical condition then to fill out. take on a large amount of fat and be finished for market or home butchering. Mirale tif Soda Sit;pl-. The reports which al.ir.u.'d agricultural authorities all over the world two years ago that the total known deposits of nitrates In Chili were but 1,003,000.0(0 quintals of KH.fil pounds, scarcely enough to meet the demand of forty-six years to come have been expbnled by the Chilian Official Hoard of. Engineers. In Its annual report to the government, recently made, the board report that in the Tara pa ca district there are 740.(K!0,OOO :u:d in Autofagasta 4.10.V 1.00,000 quintals--a total of 4,S43,0(JO,0OÖ quintals. The board, however, makes no report on Taco. with its acknowledged 22.".0 ;ou 0 quintals, por on the unworked official fields with their estimated ."Oo.ijoo.ih 10 quintals. This would bring the total up to r.."(;M.000,000 quintals. Reckoning the annual demand at &j.00O,(i0O quintals which is morethar Ihe demand for 1IH7 tlie known supply is sufficient to last l.V, years. Meantime, the development of nieth ds for converting the free nitrogen of the atmosphere into fixed nitrogen (or nitrates) is progressing, and it is hoped will yield a sufficient supply without large drain upon the mines. Difference in Hides. There is a difference in the price of packers hides and country hides, as quoted in the newspapers. The former is higher than the latter. Prices of hides are regulated by the demand for leather and leather goods, the tanner not caring to whom the hide belongs. I "ackers" hides are more vr.iuable than country hides for the reason that they

m

00m

are more skillfully handled and can be depended upon to scale up to Stauda rd. Country hides are often removed by unskilled butchers who lack experience, and the hides are frequently scored or cut In such a way as to cause a depreciation in value. After the new tariff tinkers get through with their schedule all hides will look alike, for everything in the skin line is likely to go on the free list. Denver Field and Farm. Srn)lnK the Fruit Trees. In spraying fruit trees there are three essentials that must be borne in mind if; satisfactory results are to be obtained. First, knowing what tc spray for: second, using the proper solution, and. third, spraying at the right time. It is certain that spraying might as well be given up entirely unless it is done thoroughly and regularly at the proper time each season. While It is by no means a positive cure for all the ills of tree-fruit culture, still it Is a powerful adjunct to successful orchard management. One of the first requisites toward success Is a good outfit, complete. After having had considerable experience witn several different outfits the best one I have yet found consists of a ITiO-gallon cask which rests on its side in a rack to hold it In plae. A strong force pump with an automatic stirrer, two sections of half-inch hose sixteen feet long, two ten-foot extension rods and two double vermorel nozzles. With this outfit, three men, a team and wagon we usually spray 300 12-year-old trees in one day. The time lost In having to repair, unclog nozzles, etc., is hardly worth considering, and the spray produced Is most satisfactory. It Is of the utmost Importance that the materials used be first-class and carefully compounded. As I have ex perimented with the different ingredients recommended, I have found that the most effective formula is threefourths of a pound of paris green, twelve pounds of blue vitriol and twelve Iounds of fresh air-slaked lime to 1T0 gallons of water. In preparing the mixture I put thirty-six pounds of blue vitriol in a burlap sack and suspend it in a barrel containing thirty-six gallons of water the day before it is to be used. In order to give it ample time to thoroughly dissolve. Then slake twelve pounds of fresh lime, and when ready to use It I strain it into another vessel and slake twelve pounds more to be ready when wanted. Next put three-fourths of a pound of paris green in one gallon of water and keep it thoroughly stirred x until ready to use the next day. The folio i;ig morning when ready to legin spraying I fill the cask almost full of water, leaving room, however, for the ingredients. I then strain the lime solution into the cask, next twelve gallons of blue vitriol solution and last ly the paris green mixture. Then place the ends of the pump hose so as to pump the mixture back into the cask and run the pump several minutes in order to thoroughly mix th entire solution. In spraying apply the mixture with sullicient force to reach every part of the tree and foliage, giving a fine, misty spray until the tree is well covered, which Is Indicated by slight droppings of the mixture from the trees. Make It a practice to spray three times each season. The first spraying is commenced Just before the blossom buds open in the spring. It is at this time that the canker worm, bud moth, leaf crumpler, leaf folder and cigar case borer are making preparations to begin their destructive work In the orchard. As these insects are in their infancy at this period it is the proper time to gain possession ahead of them. In spraying the second time I begin just as soon as the petals of the blos soms have dropped, and make the third spraying ten days later. I regard the second spraying ns be ing the most Important of all, as al most every pest by this time is doing ravenous work. Of all the enemies of tree fruit cul tu re I consider the codling moth the most destructive. It lays its eggs in the calyx or blossom end of the form ing apple or pear and In a few days the egg hatches ami the tiny worm eats its way into the fruit. About the only wayor at least this is the only way I know of any bene ficial results can be obtained from spraying for this pest is to spray while the calyx is expanded and while the forming fruit is standing upward upon its stem. If the spraying Is neglected until the calyx closes and the fruit has turne downward, most of the insects will be inside the fruit and spraying then wil be of little benefit. rIo receive tne mosr nencncial re suits from spraying and to save the mixture as much as possible, it is es sential to spray thoroughly from lwuli sides of the trees and 'positively not against the wind, even though the wine may seem light. Tt is evident that if part of the fol läge of the tree is not sprayed, the un sprayed parts are as ojen to the at tacks of the fungous spores and the stings of the curculio as though Ihere had been no spray within a mile of the t ree. In order that I may not make any mistake and forget, I keep a written memorandum of the date and side orj which a tree is sprayed; for, with changeable winds and rain showers. It takes considerable thought at times to set all trees sprayed on both sides. William II. Underwood.

"Man wants but little here below oncp that perhaps was true; ' 1 fi.iv no risht to think I know, no more, indeed have you ; Man may have once been satisfied tu skimp along somoLow, Rut it is not to be denied that much is needed now. There was a time when eggs were not quite worth their weight in gold. When bacon did not cost a lot and steaks

were cheaply sold. When beans and bread and milk and cheese had not, in fact, obtained A 'place among the luxuries from which the poor abstained. Man needs a fortune here below to live in comfort now ; No wonder that the wrinkles show so plainly on his brow; ne has to have a lot to drive starvation from his door. And month by month they still contrive to keep him needing more. S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald. EARNEST ADVICE. Iter. F. C. Fettypool Speak for the Drnrflt of the .Sick.

The sparrow which was discovered a few days ago sitting on a nest among the coal of a Great Eastern company's engine running between St. Margaret's and Buntlngford has had several predecessors in her preference for a locomotive nesting place, says the Westminster Gazette. A year or two ago a thrush's nest containing two eggs was found snugly ensconced on the Westinghouse brake pipe of a carriage on an express train which had just returned to York from a trip to Newcastle. The nest, we are told, was "quite warm aud comfortable." About the same time a couple of robins built their nest on the axle of a colliery wagon which was standing idle for a few days at Seghill, Northumberland. Six eggs were laid and the wagon was started on its journeys again. The parent birds followed if all the way to the Tyne and it was their excited hovering over the wagon which led to an investigation and to the discovery of their strange nesting place.
