During Change of Life, says Mrs. Chas. Barclay Graniteville, Vt "I was passing throueh the Chancre of Life and suffered I from nervousness andother annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that LydiaE.rinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved worth mountains of pold to me, as it restored my health and strength. I never forget to tell my friends what LydiaE. Knkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying: period. Complete restoration to'health means so mnch to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter." Mns. Ciuls. Uatxlay, U.F.D., Graniteville, Vt. 2s'o other medicine for woman's ills has received such wide-spread and unqualified endorsement. !No other medicine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound. For more than ?,0 years it lias been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weaknesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, asMrs.Barclaysays.it is "worth mountains of gold " to suffering women.

F.IVEIt ASCAHniEH. TV lien Heavy -"Material (annot Bo Ilnnlt-il Troataltly hy rtnil. John Callan 0I.aiihlin gives an interesting summary cf the report cf the board of engineers appointed to investigate the matter of a fourteenfoot channel between the lakes and the gulf. This report, be it remembered, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, find3 that the plan is feasible, but recommends against it. The report stated, as we remember, that $150,000.000 would be required to put fourteen feet from New Orleans to Chicago and $V 000.000 a year would be needed to maintain it. In these days of rapid development, the commission felt that these figures would show the plan to be futile. If we were to get fourteen feet from Chicago to New Orleans it would be equal to all the freight a six-track railway could haul. And a six-track railway between Chicago and New Orleans would cost probably $400.000.000. The $5,000,001 for upkeep is a bagatelle. The Illinois Central spends more than that amount for the upkeep of its lines from Cairo to New Orleans. In order to secure the benefits of cheap transportation by water, more i3 necessary than merely a channel. The railroads of Germany, France and England will eventually come to that condition where certain heavy material cannot be hauled by them at a profit. In these countries coal, rock, lime, salt, wood, cement and brick are hauled by barges through canals or on rivers. Heavy structural iron Is hauled on the rivers for the reason that cars In Englund are not made for the transportation of this heavy material. There is established in these countries, as it were, a community of interest between railroads and river transporting companies. Switch yards are established on every water front. The unloading of boats is done by electrhal machinery and the transferring to cars is done in the same way. There is a public warehouse at every water front in these countries and goods are carried by machinery into these warehouses and are distributed. The time will come In this country v hen the conditions will force traffic Into the water and this is the main reason why the continued work cf the improvement of the rivers should be pushed.

Lar;c 2oz. package, 5 caata IIandaouie at Elshty-fonr. The anniversary of the death of the Prince Iniperial the other clay was kept In solemn devotion by hl3 mother, the Empress Eugenie. Of all figurea In modern history there is none so tragic as that of the widow of Napoleon III. Now In her eighty-fourth year. Empress Eugenie, as Queen Victoria persisted in calling her, always dresses In dep mourning and tha stately figure u:idvsad face would compel any stranger unaware of her Identity to look at her twice as she walks along, leaning heavily on her stick. In fpite of her age she Is In remarkably good health and takes an active interest In everything around her. Of Scotch and Spanish extraction, the Empress Eigenie, In spite of the series of dramatic events which have clouded her l'fe, 13 still a remarkably handsome woman, and she still has much cf the (harm that stirred the admiration of the spectators of her marriage in Notre Dame, the Boston Evening Transcript says. There are still people living in Pari3 who remember her good work during the cholera epidemic thaf. raged through the city some forty-five years ago. Once, herself suffering from a severe cold, she spent the whole day visiting the cholera patients In the hospitals. Mrrmald for nrrakfaat. A stranger meal than any ever partaken by Frank Buckland or the most hardened and cosmopolitan traveler Is described by Juan Francisco de St. Antonio, In his account of his travels and adventure3 in the Philippine Islands, published at Manila in 1738. In thi3 curious little work the author tells us that he once breakfasted oft a .mermaid, and he further gravely describes its flavor as being like fresh fat pork. 1 1 ,. - - - 1 THREE REASONS. ICaeh with Two Lric and Ten Fiuttera. A Boston woman who 13 a fond rther writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other thing3 she says: "Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys. Bob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and 2 years respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngster have been fed on Grape-Nut3 since Infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 2-year-old child was a weazened little thing. Ill half the time. The little tot ate the GrapeNuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work and It was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested Itself in the child's face and body. The results were remarkable, even for Grape Nut.-?. "Both husband and I use Grape-Nuts every day and keep strong and well anJ have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a day's march. Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg ging for something in the way ol sweets. The result 13 soon shown in greatly increased health, strength anc mental activity. "There's a Reason." Look in pkga. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter?

Ilidtllns Treen of Scale. Trof. Harlan of California has discovered that tho ordinary black ant will remove the scale from fruit trees without Injuring the trees or leaves la the least. He says trlr work Is more complete than that accomplished by spraying or by any of the imported Insects. The aats are captured by placing a plate of sugar near an ant hill, and when covered with arnts the plate is put In the forks of the Infected tree. The ants leave the sugar and go to work on the scale. As soon as they all leave tha sugar the plate Is placed at the foot of the tree and as the ants come down after having cleaned the tree they again assemble on the sugar and are thus easily removed to another tree. Several ranchers near Uklah have tried the scheme and estimate that it will be worth millions to fruit growers. Potato Cultivation. Host farmers do not cultivate their potatoes the most profitable number of times, says the Weekly Inter Ocean and Farmer. It must be remembered that the potato crop suffers readily from drouth, and that frequent cultivation is practically the only means by which moisture can be conserved. Frequent cultivation also sets free much plant food that would otherwise remain locked up In the soil. Potatoes should be cultivated once a week from the time the rows can be followed until the cultivator wheels Injure the plants. An ordinary slxBhovel cultivator is probably the most practicable. More and smaller shovels would be better In a clean, mellow soil. The wheels must be set closer together than for corn, so that they will not run on the rows until the plants become quite large. Level culture should be the general aim, or only flight ridging for Its aid In controlling the weeds In the rows. The Brat cultivation may be deep and fairly close if there is plenty of moisture In the soil. It cuts off some of the roots, but at this stage does more good than harm by 'loosening the soil up deeply, and thus leaving It In better condition for the future growth of the tubers and the roots. After the first cultivation the shovels should always be m shallow, ahout two or three Inches deep, never deeper. Farm Labor Trouble. "lllgh prices for foodstuffs In the United States can not be justified," said Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture, recently, "but If you want to know the real Inside explanation I will give It to you. "The farmers can't get help. While the population of the United States has been steadily increasing through the usual additions at home and from Immigration, the cultlvat;.l area of the country is decreasing. Thousands of acre3 formerly raising products that made the food of the country have gone back to pasturage. The farmer simply can not get the men to raise crops. , "The city draws not only the laborer who might go to the farm, but the boy raised on the farm. Outside the fascination of bright lights, amusement and the excitement of mingling wifh people, there are the shorter hours and the better pay. The farmer has doubled hi3 wages In the last fifteen years, but the farmer In hi3 bu3y season must work sixteen hours a daj while in the city eight hours has become the rule. "It would seem to be a wise policy to get the immigrant away from the large cities and out Into the country where his services are needed and where he has a chance to grow into a property owner. So the government employment agency, as It has been called, Is a good Institution. On the other hand, many of the immigrants arriving would be of no use in the western country. They are from cities of Europe or have farmed in a primitive way and would not know what to do with our modern machinery. It 13 a pity that our laws will not allow American farmers to import real farmers from Europe who know how to do the work." Cnn Your Own VictiiMeii. The successful canning of vegetables depends largely upon their freshness. If jou are forced to depend upon the markets, try to get them when first received. If you can secure vegetables fresh from your own garden or the country, so much the better. Before beginning canning be sure than your cans are absolutely clean, that the tops fit perfectly, and that can rubbers are new. More canned fruit and vegetables 0.TS loit through a mistaken idea of ecenomy in trying to use old rubbers than In any other way. Now, having fresh vegetables, and scientifically clean cans, wash the asiaragus, triw It if of the largo variety, to equal lengths, and pack neatly, heads up. The straight-sided jars are better for this purpose. Having filled the jars full, hold under the cold water faucet and let the water run in with force until the vegetables are covered and no air bubbles show. If there are doubts about the water being pure, you had better boil it, then cool before using. In this case pour into jars from a pitcher, filling full. Nov adjust the tops without the rubbers and stand in a wash boiler or large kettle, protecting them from the bottom by a rack and from each oth-.r by a coil of clothesline or hay, say. j Emma Paddock Telford in the Nov York Tel - ; ram. Nov.- fill fhe toiler cr kettle with cold water and cot over the fire. The water should r-.'aeh about half way up the cans. Bring quickly to the boiling point, cover the boiler and cook steadily an hour and a half from the time the water in th boiler commences to boll. Then scald the can rubbers, lift out the cans, one by one. put on the rubbers and quickly screw down the lid and stand back In tho boiler. Cook fifteen minutes lenger. Some good cooks prefer to repeat tho cooking three days In suocesa'on, unscrewing the top each day whan put into cold

water, then tightening it reaches the boiling point. TLir s not necessary, however, and simply adds to the work. Asparagu3 and string beans are more easily preserved than peas, which contain sugar and are likely to ferment. String beans may be canned In the same way as asparagus, either cutting them in pieces as for the table, cr stringing and cooking whole. Farmers and Drovers' Journal. Value of "Wood Atho. The question often arises as to th.e value of ashes for fertilizer. Professor Ten Eyck, of the Kansas experiment station, says that an average sample of unleached wood ashes contains about 7 per cent of potash and 2 per cent of phosphoric acid, which at current prices of these plant food3 would make the ashe3 worth about $9 a ton. Besides the actual fertilizing value, by reason of the potash and phosphor!c acid contained, thero is some value to ashes simply by the power which the potash has to make the nitrogen of the soil available lor plant use by Its chemical action upjn the organic matter and humus of the soil. The potash In ashes exists In a readily soluble form and 13 thus Immediately available for plant food. The frower can well afford to pay $S to $10 a ton for good wood ashes. Coal ashes are of little value as far as plant food is concerned, but they can be used with good .effect upon some S0JI3 in loosening them up. Ashes can be used for any crcps that need potash and they may be applied at the rate of twenty-five to fifty bushels an acre. For cultivated crops they should be applied bro?.dcast after the land has been harrowed and then'cultlvated In by a light harrowing. They can be used also as a top dressing In connection with phosphate fertilizers. As will be notkrd, Professor Ten Eyck says that the unleached ashes are worth $9 a ton. As a matter of fact tie leached ash.es rarrly have a value of more than $1 to $2 a ton, as the potash and phosphoric acid are washed out. If ashe3 are to be used they should be put in a dry place until ready for use, much or more care being taken with them as with barnyard manure. And in this connection it might be well to state that ashes should never be mixed with manure of any sort, a3 It sets nitrogen free in the form of ammonia gas, and the quality of both täe ashes and the manure Is -lowered. Sifted coal ashes, however, can be used for that purpose, as they absorb liquids readily and, because of the small amount of potash they contain, do not liberate nitrogen. It would be a good plan for those who have soils that need potash to collect' all the wood ashes they can and use thein for fertilizer. More Small Karma. A survey of agricultural operations reveals a great evolution In progress In the average size of farms of the country. There Is no longer the ara-bltlc-i to own a multitude of broad acres, because It Is difficult to obtain help to properly cultivate largo "holdings. The great stock ranches and tha Immense cotton and sugar plantations are being subdivided Into small farm?, where owners operate them under th? latest methods of scientific agriculture. The reclamation of vast acres of desert land by government irrigation works has started the fashion of small farms un '.er a system of Intensive cultivation. Reclaimed desert land when irrigated Is proving niarvelously productive and admirably, adapted to fruit, vegetables, nuts and alfalfa. """10 Irrigated districts of Texas, Colorado. Washington, Montana. Idaho and California have produced crcps of fruit and vegetables valued at upward of $1,000 per acre. Such vast revenue can only be achieved by Intensive cultivation, which precludes the possibility of large holdings of land and entourages concentration of labor on small farms. In the fruit belts of Texas, Washington, Oregon. Colorado. Idaho anj Montana an acre of apple orchard will yield of $1,000 to $1,500 worth of apples that are unrivaled in appearance an! flavor. American apples are in larg? export demand and an oversupply is not apprehended, as consumption of apples is equal to production at ver remunerative prices. In favored localities farmers can realize a gross Income of $500 per acre for fruit or garden vegetables when the small farm Is operated to its full capacity under modern scientific cultivation. The future agricultural development of the country will be characterized by small farms operated by a system of intensive cultivation. The farmer with a son Inclined to agriculture may not be able to buy for him a quartersfction farm In the corn belt, yet he purchase a ten-acre farm In the Irrigated district, where the gross lucerne from fruit or vegetables may equal the revenue of the ICO-acre farm in the corn belt. The advantages of social life and the time of recreation and self Improvement are greater in a district of small farms than in localities featured by large farms devoted to live stock industry or grain production. The small farm is Increasing In popularity and promises to revolutionize future agriculture. Small farms will eliminate the present tread of migration from the country to the great cities and intensify tle national prosperity by Increasing the number of land owners and enlarging agricultural production.

tchool AVilh American niul r.nKllh. Teachers Wanted. In Constantinople a few weeks ago, Defore a room full of English and American women, a young Turkish sraduate living in Stamboul was ask?d to say something about her fellow :ountrywomen. No nervousness was ?xhibited by the small, black robed ügure that rose to speak to such an audience for the first time. With vashmak (veil) thrown back there aeing only those of her own sex present revealing a girl's pale, delicatelooking, oval face, whose fascination lay in the large hazel eyes and expressive mouth, she spoke without hesitation in the purest English, her low-toned voice having but the slightest indication o an accent. "I feel I should apologize to you, ladles, for speaking in your own language, but I have been commanded1 to speak by an American lady and I am accustomed to obey Americans, having been educated at the American College for Girls in Scutari. First, the women of Turkey must be awakened to their need of education although this is necessary for the men, too," she added, smiling, "as they have received almost as little education as the women; then v.e shall establish head schools in Constantinople with English and American teachers, after which we shall have our own instructresses, who will be sent to different towns throughout the empire. For years the teaching of Mohammed his been wrongly construed; but now we shall go forward, giving justice to all, as we are commanded." This young girl the or.ly holder o a degree for women in Turkey was permitted by her husband to spend a night at the house of an American woman and speak to her friends, the only stipulation being that there should be no men present. English Mail of Frankfort. JIM'S FIRST SPEECH. The meetings which Sam Jone3. the famous Georgia preacher, u:-ed to hold at his bush-arbor tabernacle at Car tersville were generally unique and picturesque, and it was not always the preacher himself who made them so. On one occasion he invited a woman wuo nau established a very useful and successful school for the untaught boys from the mountain re gions of the South the "poor white" children to come and explain her work to his audience. She came, but she brought with her one of the brightest of her boys, for she told Mr. Jones she did not be lieve in a woman's speaking in meet lng when a man could be got to dc It. The preacher was skeptical oi the boy's ability to get through with his speech, for he was evidently very nervous over the ordeal; but the young wom-jn insisted, and Jim had his chance. The youngster started in with the speech that he had written and learned word for word. He did very well until he began to enumerate the buildings that the school possessed "We have a recitation hall, three dormitories, a barn and a poultry yard." he declared. Then he paused; the next thing he had forgotten. The only way out that occurred tc him was to go back and begin his speech all over again. This he did and by and by came again to the buildings. "Wo have a recitation hall, three dormitories, a barn and a poultryyard," he said. Again there was dead stop. Everybody was by this time deeply interested In his struggle, and there was profound silence in th tabernacle.A third time the speech wa3 begun and a third time the fatal poultry yard was reached, and it proved ai hard to get by as before. Mr. Jones winked at the teacher and smiled ai the audience.. He was enjoying it hugely. Blushing furiously, but "game" tc the last. Jim began a fourth time This time the excitement as he ap proached the poultry-yard was Intense There was no laughter, although a few smiled. "We have a recitation hall, thre dormitories, a barn and a poultryyard." said Jim. The silence was al most painful, but this time the treach erous memory became submissive anc Jim went bravely on with the rest ol his speech. When he had finished, Mr. Jones told the audience that they had conn as sheep to be sheared, and must helj this needy school, now that they hat" heard one of Its boys make so elo quent an appeal. "It is making these boys Ufter3 and not leaners," he declared. "Don't for get the poultry-yard that Jim hai struggled over. Everybody must helj by giving a hen. If you can't giv a hen, give a dozen egg at least." Marahal nnd the Iimperor' Order, Apropos of the centenary of th death of Marshal Lanncs a Paris con temporary tells the following story: The marshal had a horror of etiquette and appeared very little at court. One day vhen he was amusinj himself by shooting larks on his es täte of Maisons Lafitto a message ar rived to Invite him to the Tullleries where his absence had been inu-h com mented upon. The marshal, not the least per turbed, replied to the invitation in hlj blunt, soldierly and characterise manner: "Tell the emperor," he said, "I ana at his orders to rejoin the army, but if he wants me for anything else 1 am shooting larks."

When, in 1893, a smooth-shaven little joker was inserted in one of the multitudinous paragraphs of a general appropriations bill and slipped through Congress without a word of discussion, all the civilizing influence of a hundred years of shirt-sleeves diplomacy was undone, say3 Henry M. Hyde, writing In Success Magazine, and the privilege of representing he United States at the great capitals of Europe took the place of steam yachting as the most expensive and ornamental amusement of the very rich. Up to that time the rank of minister plenipotentiary was the highest In the diplomatic service of the nation. Many suggestions were made that the rank of ambassador should be created, but no secretary of state could be found who would endorse them. But on that fateful morning when Congress, unknowingly, took in that unfathered foundling In its grocery basket, diplomacy lapsed distinctly backward toward the comic opera stage. Dignified justices of the Supreme Court of the United States quarreled fiercely with Russian counts and German barons as to who should pass first Into the White House dining room. Buoyed by1 the blessed sense of humor the Secretary of State obsequiously took his place behind the personal embodiments of divinely endowed kings and emperors.
