= ~ AN . e e > IS SNV ik DOCTOR DAVID » You wanted to know, Tom, why I go to the trouble each year at Christmas time to make up a wreath of laurel and bholly and express it to that little town way over in Canada. Well, I've done it for years, Tom, and I expect to repeat the act with each recurring December so long as I live. I'm not sure but that I shall leave a provision in my will for its eontinuance after I am gatherd to my fathers. Light your pipe afresh, my boy, and I'll tell you the little story, for I am in a reminiscent mood to-night. Poor, dear old Doctor David! How often in boyhood have I sat by the cheerful kitchen fire and listened with wrapt ~ attention and unfeigned admiration to | even mother was unable to soothe her. [ The doctor was not called so because he was one, but because he believed he was. Some unappreciative grown people and even a few of the ruder boys spoke of him as old Dave, but to us who better knew him he was always Doctor David. He was an old man. To us children he seemed a very Methuselah. There was a tradition that at one time he had had a wife and children, but to any but the very oldest inhabitant of the village little credence was placed in the story. For more than a score of years he had been spoken of as old Dave or Doetor David, according to the speaker. His home was a little hut on the bank of the river near the grist mill. Only a favored few of us were ever honored with & glimpse of the interior. I was his especial favorite—perhaps beecause my mother was always kind to him—and I have sat for hours at a time in the dark little cabin, my hands clasped across my knees, and watched him as hLe sat patiently making ax-helves or splint-brooms from sticks of ash. At such times I stealthily studied the mysteries of the black roof and sides of the cabin, not daring to ask him concerning the riﬂo,‘ the shotgun, the ax, the assortment of knives, the skins, the roots and seceds and , bunches of dried leaves which were hung | in ghostly array in the gloom. Not even ‘! 1 was allowed within the mysterious i \ room when he was concocting his medi- |, e i i il L i = Y, ‘ S —— ] W- o vl || RN eF e &A- - P {R~ B ( b=N Mﬂ 1 {hl RV T hWi fy\v* - STt (RN e é}{ BVs e DOCTOR DAVID. eices. His “roots and yarbs’” and his methods of converting them into S:‘l\'!‘H\ and bit‘ers were too sacred for even me | to know anything abonut. ‘ He never worked. That is, unless the occasional making of an ax handle, a barn broom or some medicine could be called work. And yet he rarely went hungry. More than our home was always open to him, and at more than our table did the old man always find a welcome. Shiftless and lazy all the villagers pronounced him. Everybody knew he was incapable of doing any great wrong, and no one dreamed that lurking in his peaceful soul there was a drop of the heroic; but let me not anticipate my story. There had been a long spell of cold weather, and the river had frozen over so that there had been good skating above the milldam. But a few days before Christmas there came a thaw, with a great deal of rain, and we boys were disconsolate, fearing there would be no gkating Christmas. For an eighth of a mile above the dam, where the current was more swift, the ice broke and went down stream, tumbling over the twentyfoot dam and pounding itself to bits in the churning, rocky rapids below. But higher up, just beyond the bend, the ice seemed firm, and Christmas morning, despite threats and warnings, half a dozen of us boys smuggled our skates past

our mothers’ wachful eyes and stole off to the river. Soon we were enjoying the intoxication of smooth ice, new skates and crisp air, and not a thought of danger was permitted to interfere with our - sport, Omne of my skates beeame 16686 And T sat down to tighten the straps, mot observing that 1 was but a few feet from the edge of the ice bordering on the open water. Suddenly there was a cracking sound, a chorus of cries, and before I could get to my feet I saw that a great i section of ice had cracked off, broken into two pieces, and was floating down stream, the smaller piece bearing me | with it. Instantly I realized my peril. My very blood seemed to freeze in my heart, and for a moment I could not even scream. I was drifting slowly, but I carried gently along in the center of the the current and that my velocity would increase with every moment. To my ears the roar of the fall and the awful rapids below sounded louder and more dreadful than they ever had before. I knew the course of the current perfectly, for I had stood on the bridge many times and watched the sawlogs in the spring carried gently along in the center of the river, going ever faster and faster until as they neared the dam the ecurrent coursed shoreward toward the left bank and then plunged downward, flinging the logs half their lengths in the air as they

i S A went over the watery precipice.l pictured myself going over the fatal fall, and then my tongue loosed and I added my cries to those of my terrified playmates, who until i now had not had the presence of mind to run for help. In an incredibly short space of time the banks were lined with excited villagers, helpless to render any aid, but each shouting useless directions to the others. i could see my mother running frantically along the the bank and then, sinking upon her knees in the snow, turn her white face to heaven. The terror of my situation had quieted my cries and I was trying to decide whether it would be less painful to plunge into the ¢y water and | drown than to cling to the frail piece of \ ice and be dashed to pieces below the dam. I had seen one woman go (n'or& that dam the summer before, and the | memory of her poor bruised and battered | body as it was drawn to the shore half a ! mile below haunted me for a month. The | awful picture came before me again, and 1 had closed my eyes and was about to \jmnp into the water, when 1 heard :1‘ shout so different from the medbey of cries along the shore that I looked to my | right, toward the bank across from that on which was my mother. From the right bank of the river, just in the rear of Doctor David’s cabin, ex=g é%:a %:WF R (g nho (I _Qfl : B 8 i ‘R,'»?)f{\ .'" i\g\ﬂ‘?}"‘@\ WSSt 1 STTHATNSS ALY 'AI 'Z,ﬁﬁmﬂ & Xty W | W ',M' vS || ;i,s./‘ A ﬂiﬁ‘/ 7e/ |5 PN inansid L \“"_‘ve'—: P N ‘t‘l!‘ R e N T e g‘ﬂ. ‘ SN s il == R e g oo \! il | W R o | el B eah | i SEURNN 47 7(7 b ( I = \RL ""W;g N ) | = S oo N : et} <y ‘ e IN DOCTOR DAVID’S CABIN. l e e ot e e oS e A | tended a log boom for several feet, then | turning and running parallel with the gshore nearly to the dam.

As you will promptIy break this resclution it will ease any qualms of conscience you may have at breaking any others. Resolve: That yvou will speak nothing but good of your friends. In this way you will be able to learn very. shortly hoswy. “Ariend S Ad .Ad ,«9,’ ' e ouire. auaat you will never drink again. Then for a couple of weeks you can tell your friends that you have broke your good resolution merely to drink with them, and they will feel very, very happy. Resolve: Not to marry. If married already, point to this resolution at the end of the year with pride. If a female (which is to be hoped you are not), tell all the men about it. Resolve: That you will be prudent and economical during the entire year. If You are not all will be well, for you will probably have to be cconomical uext yYear to make up for it. Resolve: Not to tell your girl of your New Year’'s resolutions. She is probably a trusting young thing, and it will rend her heart to learn that, after all, you are not actually as divine as she had supposed. The Greedy Boy's Dream.

s M HOGS AND CHOLERA. | T S R ) REPORT ON TREATMENT ANDI ‘PREVENTION OF DISEASE. I Burcau of Animal Industry Gives the I Result of Long and Thorough Investigation of Swine Plague and Other Epidemics, Strict Quarantine Necessary, With estimated losses of between $lO,000,000 and $25,000,000 from hog cholera and swine plague in the United States, the discussion of the treatment and means of prevention of these diseascs in a bulletin issued by the Agricultural Department is of great value to the farmers of this country. The Bureau of Animal Industry has been conducting an exhaustive investigation of this subject and finds that the agents which destroy the germs of one of these fatal diseases, are also effective in the déstruction of the germs of the other. Both are spread by infection and their course varies from one day to three woeeks, Both are caused by baecteria. The germs of hog cholera, says the report, are very hardy and vigorous, while those of the swine plague are very delicate and very easily destroyed. The latter are found to be present in practically all herds of swine, but the former must be introduced from infected herds, The most eflicient virus remedy tried by the Government's agents is the following: Wood, charcoal, sulphur, sodium sulphate and antimony sulphide, one pound each; sodium chloride, sodium, bi- | carbonate and sodium hyposulphite, two | pounds each. These are to be completely l pulverized and mixed, and a daily dose of a large tablespoonful for each 200 pounds | weight of hogs given. The medicine may be used also as a preventive of these diseases. It should be put in the feed of the whole herd. To insure more successful treatment the animals should be kept in dry and comfortable quarters QWaYy from drafts of air. Five or six mounths should be allowed to elapse after an outbreak before new hogs are purchased or any of the old herd sold. The report recommends a rigid quarantining of newly-bought hogs and the prevention of their joining those already on the farm for at least six weeks. During the warm months of the yvear the swine should have plenty of voung grass or clover; erushed or rolled wheat should be fed to the growing animals. CORN UP, WHEAT DOWN. The Average Farm Price of Various Agricultural Products, The returns to the statistieal division of the department of agriculture for l'"t'\‘t!'r ber relate principally to the average farm price of the various agricultural products on the first day of the month. By farm prices is meant the price at the farm or at the nearest local or railway market. In comparison of these prices with com- - mercinl quotattons gliowanece must be - made for cost of handling, transportation, - pa fits.of d&&is:klﬁ..l‘(c- .Il“'. mf!"‘:”h_‘;'.‘:f‘ : mu\'m‘u:wi 45.6 cents per bushel, which | is .1 cents higher than the Pnrrvsm’ﬂh‘lin;z | price of last year, which was 36.5 cents per bushel 1h price was (1.8 cents z‘r« x T icher than the average price ftor .‘».,,‘An‘ wmde 1880 to 188 Y, and is just 4 \ eher tl 1 the average for the ltt yeiars, 1800 to 1503. The average rice of wheat is 40.8 ecents per bushel, l ] price in the past twenty-five years. This price is 33.0 cents less than ;?;u average for the ten yars, 1880 to !,\\".l, and 22.1 cents less than the average for the four years, 1890 to 1803. The I'l".‘.il'::s make the general price per bushel of rye DOS cents, which is 1.3 cents lower I'!“‘la‘.‘. the price at the same date last year. The average farm price of oats as returned for Dec. 1 this year is 4.1 cents higher than for the corresponding date last year, being 32.9 cents per bushel, against 2‘\'\, Dec. 1, 1893. The average farm price of barley is 443 cents per bushel .".L’:"-iYL-\’?. 40.6 cents for the year 1593, or a gain of 8.7 cents. The price for 1852 was 47.24 cents. The average price of buckwheat is 56.2 cents per bushel, against 59 cents for the year 1593, or a decline of 2.8 cents. The returns show the average price of hay to be SO.IB per ton, while that of last year on the farms was $0.12, o The averace condition of corn is 45.7.

In the principal winter wheat States the percentages are as follows: ‘;!:«'!.-;':‘:1',, 92; Indiana, 88; lllinois, 91; Kansas, 72; Nebraska, 76; California, 92. ;E“;:» returns of correspoudents of the de;’,l;':w:vnr_ make the acreage of winter wheat sown last {all 103 per cent. of the final estimate of the area harvested in 1864 which was 23.518.796 acres. a larger figure than the preliminary estimate given out in June last, which upon further investigation was found to be too low. This preliminary estimate therefore makes the area sown for the harvest of 1895, 24,224,000 acres. | HIS NOD IS LAW. i1 5 Lhe Sultan of Turkey and How He P Riules His Bagbasic Land.
