CONGRESSMAN FITZPATRICK Says Pe-ru-na Is a Splendid Catarrhal Tonic, ;; Congressman T. X. Fitzpatrick. * * *♦•♦ ♦ > e o ♦ e e -♦-»■♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ » < e »■» Hon. T. I. Fitzpatrick, Congressman from Kentucky, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C., as follows: ••At the solicitation of a friend I used your Peruna and can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with catarrh or who needs a mod tonic.”—T. Y. FITZPATRICK. A Good Tonic. Pe-ru-na ia a natural and efficient nerve tonic. It strengthens and restores the activity of every nerve in the body. Through the use of Pe-ru-na the weakened or overworked nerves resume their natural strength and the blood vessels begin at once to regulate the flow of blood according to nature’s laws. Congestions immediately disappear. Catarrh Cared. All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic, are promptly and permanently cured. It is through its operation upon the nervous system that Pe-ru-na has attained such a world-wide reputation as a sure and reliable remedy for all phases of catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice free. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.

Where Papa Came In.

“WWm do you love best?” asked a Visitor of my sister Lillian, 3% years old. “Mamma,” said the little one. “God next, and then my sister and brothers.” Noticing that she said nothing about her father, the visitor said: “Why, Lillian, lam surprised at you! Where does your papa come in?” Lillian raised her large eyes and innocently answered: “Papa—why, papa comes in through the door.”—Little Chronicle.

Comfortable Resting Place. Where the trees about one’s house ■re small, or where there are none, this arrangement, described in Country Gentleman, will be found pleasant In summer. The floor and framework of this shady resting place are made' of wood, while the covering is either white duck or striped awning cloth, sold at all dry goods stores—the only fault to be found with the latter being

SHADY RESTING PLACE.

Its liability to fade. The board floor is very desirable, since It permits the use of this when the grass ground would be moist. The smooth floor also affords a splendid chance for children to play in wet weathtr, or Indeed in any weather, since their clothing will become soiled much less easily when playing on dbch a floor than upon grass ground or gravel. This place can also be made to shelter a hammock, stretching from one corner to an opposite corner. The roof frame should, of course, be braced In the same direction as that occupied by the hammock, running a two by three strip of lumber from the top of one corner post to the top of the one opposite; also placing a similar piece between the tops of the other two opposite corners. Handy Farm Tool. The tool illustrated can be easily fashioned by any blacksmith. It is similar in form to the grubbing hoe familiar to most farmers, although not sb hard. It should be made so that the wide blade will be about four inches wide along the edge and from one and one-half to two Inches wide along the edge of the narrow blade. Made of the same material used in the

DOUBLE-EDGE HOE.

ordinary garden hoe and the edges kept well sharpened, one may work very close to the plants In the rows without Injury to them. * This tool would be especially useful in working among strawberry plants, using the wide edge for cutting off the runners and the narrow one for weeding close to the plants. A few tools of this kind would cost but little and save their cost in one season. Belecting Calves. The Practical Farmer gives thia method of selecting calves to raise, which is followed by many successful dairymen:' Turn the little calf on Its back and see that it has four wellplaced teats —that Is, wide apart—and two rudlrhentaries, or extra teats. Next see that It has a large udder cord, which you can feel on the side, rubbing Anger back nnd forth. Such parts arc made in proportion, and a large udder Indicates tlrat the calf when It becomes a cow will carry a large udder, beenuse a large cord Is necessary to hold tills up. Next look in tlie coifs mouth, and If tbore nre eight teeth, well through, you can safely raise that calf. If there are only two teeth put through, reject the calf, because, as a rule, this indicates that the eonstltutlonnl vigor of the mother was not sufficient to mature the calf fully before It was bom. Such a calf will be likely to have a weak vitality when It grows up os well ns during Its younger days. IMseaeee of Pl anta. Diseases of plants are difficult to prevent unless rotation of crops is practiced. To allow the same kind of crop two or more years in succession on a plot of land promotes the Increase of Insects and spreads diseases of certain plants in the soil. For instance, when a crop of potatoes Is attacked by disease the land should be given up to some other-crop the next year, as the slanting of potatoes on land upon

which a diseased crop was grown the previous year Is the surest mode of propagating evil. Insoluble Phosphates. The use of insoluble phosphates, whether In the form of phosphatlc rock or of the so-called Thomas slag, has long been a bone of contention or debatable matter, not only among the scientific men, but the practical farmers. The former have questioned whether the insoluble phosphate could be of any value as plant food, and some of the farmers have claimed that their crops were very much benefited by it. Although we have not tested it, our opinion leads us to believe that the farmers are right,‘and those who rely only on scientific principles may be wrong. Wc do not place sufficient confidence in the power of the soil and the action of frosts, rain and summer heat upon what are sometimes called insoluble fertilizers. We know little of the power that these elements exert, and when to. the natural elements of the soil there may be added the effect of decomposing vegetable matter, either as stable manure or as green manure plowed under, we can only say that we think they have much effect in making soluble not only phosphatic but other mineral elements.in the soil. Those who have used the finely ground rock or Thomas slag upon fields which had received a liberal dressing of stable manure, or had been treated with a green crop plowed under, are so unanimously in Its favor that we cannot doubt but that the so-called insoluble phosphates do become soluble In the soil under certain conditions, depending upon the soil or the treatment It has received.—Massachusetts Ploughman.

To Cure Bad Habit. A bad vice sometimes crops out in the herd when a cow or two begins to draw its own milk by sucking. To pre-

vent this vice, fasten a frame as pqrtrayed. Four sticks of hard wood, 10 or 12 Inches long and 1% inches square, are held together

by eight round pointed sticks of tough hard wood two feet long and one inch in diameter, passing through the hard wood sticks. These dimensions may be too large for a small neck. Fasten the round sticks in the desired place with screews % inch long. The yoke may then be removed or adjusted to fit a large or small neck.—Farm and Home. Proper Packing of Fruit. The finer varieties of fruit should be packed in boxes. When barrels are used the best fruit is injured by overpressing. The fruit must be picked at the right time. Last year a lot of the Northern Spys wore picked so early that very serious loss is the result, because the warm weather has ruined tholr keeping qualities. The question of grading is too large a one to deal with here. Great care is necessary in grading, and the work will be rendered much easier by having a large quantity of the one variety. In facing the barrel pick out fruit that is fairly representative of the contents of the barrel. Place the smaller apples on the outside and the larger ones in the center. The picking should be done very carefully, care being taken not to bruise the apples by dropping. Care mus be exercised in Jarring or shaking the barrel in filling, so as to get the contents well shaken and to avoid slackness, and at the same time not bruise the fruit. This is best accomplished by giving a trembling motion to the barrel. In hauling to the station a spring wagon should be used, otherwise the fruit may be bruised in that way. The more the producer can pack his own fruit the better it will be for the trade. After picking the fruit should be put Inside, where it is dry. The barrel or box should, as a means of avoiding mistakes, be stenciled with the name and address of the packer, and the grade and variety of the fruit. —American Cultivator.

Didn't Bother the Incubator. More incubator hatches are spoiled by the anxiety of the operator than from any other cause. Get the machine going properly and don’t bother it, except to turn the eggs and fill and trim the lamp.

Some of the weeds that cover the fields will be eaten off by sheep if tbs animals are given an opportunity to destroy them. Put the sheep at work at this season and they will destroy many weed pests. Wild carrots should be destroyed late in summer, before tlie seeds mature, so as to save labor. Being a biennial, tbs wild carrot gists a firm bold, and It is very persistent, propagating itself rapidly and taking poaseasion of the laud. An excellent plan io to dig the plants up and burn them.

EDWARD IS BETTER.

SURGEONS REPORT KING’S CONDITION FAVORABLE. Patient Able to Eat and Smoke Making Satisfactory Progress—Medical Advisors Say Monarch Is Displaying Great Recuperative Power. i King Edward’s condition was reported to be much improved Sunday, he was thought to have safely passed the crisis and there was a. wide assumption that nothing was to be expected henceforth but announcements of an uninterrupted return to strength. The Queen was cheerful and hopeful and continued to display most devoted solicitude. She was in the sick room the greater part of the day. The King is able to take plenty of nourishment. So confident are all now of the King’s complete and early " recovery that it has been informally settled that when the time arrives the royal patient will be carefully removed to Cowes and placed on board the royal yacht. Sir Henry Thompson said the King’s condition was hopeful for recovery. The only danger to be feared, in his opinion, was the possibility of cellular or other tissues in the region of the wound becoming affected, but from what other medical men said, the steady improvement in his majesty’s condition was attributable to the fact that he had been able to maintain his strength. If the King continued to hold his own in this respect his recovery was assured. His recent habits are in his favor, for it is a fact, although not known to many outside of the royal household, that the King is, and has been for a long time, most abstemious as to his diet Indeed, this is made necessary by the fact that he is troubled with diabetes and is under a diabetic regime. As this is a progressive complaint, and regarded by many physicians as virtually incurable, it is easy to understand that the King had strong personal reasons for wishing to be Crowned at this time. It is also easy to understand why Queen Alexandra, now feeling most sanguine of her husband’s recovery, has suggested a quiet coronation in Westminster Abbey as soon as he is convalescent, which would be in the latter part of August or September. Of course, the magnificent coronation, which was to have been the most splendid spectacle of the modern world, has vanished forever. No attempt will be made to have a great celebration. for King Edward will not be able for many months-to endure any trying ordeal. The King’s sickness is what is known as perityphlitis. It is an inflammation, including the formation of an abscess Of the tissues around the vermiform appendix and in the popular mind is not readily distinguished from appendicitis. A week previous the trouble manifested itself, but under treatment the King seemed to recover rapidly and on Saturday his condition was such that his physicians believed he would be able to go through the ceremony of coronation. The trouble, however, became aggravated and Tuesday his physicians decided upon the operation. The King was placed under the influence of chloroform and the operation was'successfully carried out. The abscess, which had formed, was removed. As for London, the people were dazed. They had just thrown off, as it were, their mourning garments for the death of the Queen and had plunged into the joyful anticipations of the coronation festivities when with stunning suddenness their joy was turned into sorrow and burning anxiety. In all the churches prayers have been offered up for the recovery of the royal patient and in the ranks'of high and low there is a gnawing sorrow for their ruler and King. Disappointment and Sympathy. London had a million foreigners within her gates for the celebration and four more millions were ready to cross her threshold from the United Kingdom. These, with her own six millions, were greatly disappointed over the postponement. Not only were those who were to witness the splendors incidental to the coronation, hut the great world beyond were moved to sympathy for the monarch who had borne himself so modestly since being entrusted with the imperial aceptre of power.

A London correspondent says that those who have watched closely the King since his mother’s death have not failed to notice that the great responsibilities of the position were going hard against him. The bright eye, the ruddy glow of the cheek, the vigorous hand clasp, the quickened step, the cordial greeting which distinguished him as the Prince of Wales began to lessen under the exactions of kingship. He did everything to conceal the inroads upon his health, but it was evident to those around him that unless there came a change his reign would be a short one. He worried greatly over the Boer war, as his mother had done, and its termination was too long delayed to save him from the consequences of his intense anxiety while it was in progress. Then the anxieties of the coronation were added to make mind and body sick and render life miserable. Riots Over Abandoned Feasts. The abandonment of the coronation feastings has led to a number of riots at different places. The worst occurred at Watford, where, when it wg» announced the dinner for the poor and the distribution of shillings and sixpences to children had been abandoned a mob stoned and wrecked the shops of the members of the committee having the affair in charge. The rioters lit a bonfire that had been prepared to celebrate the event, overwhelmed the police, and threw the officers’ helmets Into the fire. Hundreds of other police were summoned, but they, too, were overpowered. There was desperate fighting and many persons were seriously hurt. A number of shops were sacked and set on fire. In view of the expected extraordinary demand, dealers In supplies of all kinds laid in heavy stocks, hoping to reap large profits. The abandonment of the coronation and the dispersal of the crowds of visitors caused a slump in prices that resulted in large losses to*the dealers. Most of the supplies were es such a nature that it was necessary for them to be immediately consumed. A leading firm in the Smithfield market sold a ton of meat at a half penny a pound. Fish and fruit were also sold at great loss. The New-Herald and Mirror at Olathe, Kam, have been consolidated.

Looking Backward. “I wonder,” said the student of archaeology, of the thirtieth century, “what that queer-shaped thing la we see over the door In pictures of dwellings of a thousand years ago.” “That, my son,” replied the venerable and learned professor, “Is called a horseshoe. It was worn by an animal called a horse, much used In those dark ages as a beast of burden. People rode on Its back and It dragged vehicles from place to place, both for business and pleasure.” “How very strange. But why was the shoe placed over doorways?” “It was supposed to bring good luck to the dwellers In a house so protected.” “What a remarkable Idea!” “Yes, very remarkable. But, then, my son, the people of the twentieth century were very odd In many of their ways. How thankful we ought to be that we live in a more enlightened age.” —Detroit Free Press.

Taking a Man Unawares.

Bland, Mo., June 80th.—F. B. Crider describes very graphically how he was overtaken by an enemy and his narrow escape. He says: “For years I ha ve been troubled with Kidney Disease, which came on me so gradually that I did not know what It was until the pains in my back warned me that It was Kidney Trouble. “I began treatment at once and used one medicine after another, but without help, till at last I was just about to give up In despair. “Just then I heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and bought a few boxes and began to take them. They helped me from the first and now I am completely cured. “Dodd’s Kidney Pills Is the only medicine that ever did me any good. They are worth their weight in gold.”

Knew the Penalty.

In Squire Robert’s court recently a boy ! was put on the witness stand, and to ascertain if he knew the nature of an oath the justice interviewed him as follows: “Do you know the nature of an'bath?” “Don’t know whether I do or not.” “Well, if you should tell a lie, do you know where you would go when you died?” “Yes, sir.” “Where?” “Well, when we moved out here pap said if any of us lied he would take us back to Arkansaw, and I reckon he’ll be as good as his word.”—Fulton (Ky.) Leader.

What About Tour School Houses?

You may not this season be able to build a new one, or make the radical changes In the old one that you had in contemplation, but there Is no school district In the United States that cannot afford to tint with Alabastlne the interior of their buildings, thus making them more attractive, getting colors made with special reference to their effects on the eyes of the pupils, getting a sanitary and rock base cement coating that will not harbor disease germs. The closely crowded school rooms need all the safeguards to the health of the pupil that intelligent officials can surround them with, and all sanitarians unite in saying that Alabastlne is the only proper material to be used on such walls.
