MISS JULIA MARLOWE. ‘7 am glad to write my endorsement of the great remedy, Peruna. I do so most heartily.”—Julia Marlowe. Any remwly that benefits digestion strengthens the nerves. The • nerve centers require nutrition. If the digestion is impaired, the nerye centers become anemic; and nervous debility is the result. • Peruna Is not a nervine nor a » f stimulant. It benefits the nerves J 1 by benefiting digestion. j PeYuna frees the stomach of catarrhal congestions and normal digestion is the result. In other words, Peruna goes 'to the bottom of the whole difficulty, when the disagreeable symptoms disappear. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, Wallace, Cal., writes: “I was troubled with my stomach for six years. Was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. . . “I improved under the treatment, but as soon ajs I stopped -taking the medicine, I got bad again. “I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. “I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured.”

Connecting; of Drain Tiles. It is difficult to cut large tik with 1 a view to fitting small tile to connect laterals with main drains. There is a i great deal of danger of the tile break- 11 ing, and one is likely to lose two or c three large tile in attempting to form *■ a junction, and, at the best, tht June- e tion is likely to be a poorly formed ’ one, unless considerable care is taken in covering the openings and cementing the joint, I have, therefore, found it advisable to recommend the uss of a

fl R - JUNCTION OF TILES.

connecting box or basin, built in tho main drain at points where laterals connect. These basins may be made of I plank or brick or cement, according to convenience or fancy. Os whatever materials, the box sho.ild be from twelve to eighteen inches square, according to the size of the main tile. The best time to build the box is when the main is laid. Two sides of the box, namely opposite sides, .will be used for the main line, the other two sides when the box is built should be fitted with the first tile of the laterals, which may be immediately or at some, subsequent time completed. This basin or box should extend six tc twelve inches below the line of the diain, and besides serving for connecting the basin will serve for a sile basin, that is, will collect any sediment which may happen to get into the various lines of tile discharging into t. • Also, the box may be continued •to the ground surface and be provided there with a tight cover, or if it is not desired to have a box exposed .thus and in the way, it may 1 be covered with plank, about fifteen inches below the ground surface and then covered over with soil —the position of the box being carefully marked on the drain map or its distance measured from two points near at hand. Such a . basin is an excellent device to use u here two or three lines of drain unite. Os Whatever material the box is built, the tile on the four sides should be carefully fitted in so as to allow nothing to enter the box except what goes there through the tile. If the main drain is to be built of plank, it certainly would be better to spike the plank, for two reuse ns: First, to prevent displacement, and secondly, to prevent entrance of solid matter. It has been found that the joi its of the box will afford sufficient; means of ingress for the water even if :he planks

ill SILT

are spiked, aud if they are jiot spiked there is danger of too great openings and finally filling the box with sediment.—Exchange. . Unueeu Farm Laborers. Every farmer has hundreds of unseen laborers busy in his behalf. The earth-worms, of which he rakes so little thought, are of untol<l> benefit to agriculture. They loosen and ventilate the soil and by their digestive processes aid in the formation of plant food. They are continually digging into the lower - soil, which passes through their bodies and is cast upon the surface. It is said taat the best old pastures owe their value to the action of these unseen workers. When the farmer boy hunts the earth-worm to bait his fishhook he may not be aware that he is using the descendants of tire first, t ilers of the soil; bni} such is the fa it, and they continue |at their lowly toil whether man wilM or not. Hatches ,15 Chicks f<oin 13 Eggs. “Phoebe,!’ a large hen owned by Mrs. T. Z. Vush, of Birdsboro, Pa., for a long timekhas had a reputation of laying an eg*every-day and sometiines two per day.i>’ow she has hatched out

of thirteen eggs fifteen healthy chickens. Mrs. Bush can not account for the extra number except that there must have -been two pairs «f twins. Fruit and Truck Farms. The man who h«s not capital to purchase a large farm must be satisfied with small holdings, Ten lores in fruit and truck garden will furnish occupation for one man all the t me, and during fruit harvest extra hilp will need to be employed. If the husbandman- can realize as large returns for his individual labor devoted to the cultivation of ten acres of land as he could from operating a quarter of a section it would be great economy to work the smaller farm and place the residue of his capital at interest. • ' Truck gardening, and fruit growing have become established branches of agriculture. The farmer raises his own supplies of fruit and vegetables, but the multitude of residents of cities depend on the professional fruit grower and market gardener for their supplies of fruit and vegetables. Small farms are multiplying annually and become profitable investments when operated to truck gardening and fruit growing. ■ An acre of onions in average seasons will return a gross income of S3OO to S7OO and fruit will average $250 to SOOO per acijp. An acre of ap•ple trees have sold as high as $1,200 on the trees, the purchaser furnishing the packages and harvesting the crop. The land can be so operated as to produce a crop of early peas and followed by turnips or late cabbages. Small farms' are particularly adapted to men in moderate "circumstances and who depend on their labor to support their families' The,small farm .not only yields a large-eash income when properly managed, but it furnishes a home for the family anl guarantees steady employment to the owner twelve months in the yean.,—Goodall’s Farmer.

or to a wooden floor for a creamery. When properly put in, a cement floor will last indefinitely and can be kept clean and Sanitary, whereas a wooden floor is short lived, quicly rots out and is always a source of Contamination. Chemical Fertilizers. Strong chemical fertilizers should not be given too lavishly to growing plants. Nitrate of soda is good as a source of nitrogen, but you can not grow a plant in pure nitrate of; ,soda, acid phosphate and other actual food substitutes; not even if they are mixed with the most consummate skill. Look at a clay soil; it is generally regarded as a pretty poor one-for growing plants, but it has more actual units of food in it than any other sort of soil you can take, and it is improved by throwing in the solid grit of sand or the rubbish of ashes from the furnace. . Raising; Corn. Making every hill contain at least two stalks, and each stalk contain at least one average sized ear, is the secret of successful corn raising. As soon as the .corn is an inch high, replant every hill that contains no plants. While this may be a little later than the fifst planting, and some may not get out of the way of frost, it will make good cattle feed if nothing more. A Few Farm Tips. Alfalfa or clover makes an excellent pasture for hogs. Keep the water sprout growths rubbed off the fruit trees, i Oats make one of the best horse feeds grown on the faririt t ' Angora goats haye been found exceedingly profitable on many farms. Bordeaux mixture is the best allaround spraying material in existence. In renting land be sure to make a contract with the tenant and then both live up to it. No one is quite so much out of placet as the farmer who retires to a whittling place in town. Cow peas are to the South what clover and alfalfa are to the North. A farmer’s garden is not a joy forever to the grocer because it means fewer sales of foodstuffs to him. When a mare with a colt -has to be worked, it is the best plan to keep the colt at the barn while she Is in the field. The atmosphere contains in unlimited quantities one of the most essential f plant foods, nitrogen, but the farmer ' must grow the legumes before he can I get any benefit from this vast store.

Civil War Stories

How Col. Mullijjan Lost Lexington. I belonged to a company raised in Earlville, La Salle County, 111., which was ready for the first call, but not knowing how to secure attention we i were too late in getting a place. Our disappointment was great, for at that ' time patriotism was most intense. The | company selected Captain S. A Simpson and myself to come to Chicago in ' the hope that we could find a vacancy, i We had the good fortune to get an ini tervlew with Colonel James A. Mulli- ! gan the very day he received word from Washington that he was authorized to raise a regiment. Colonel Mulligan listened to us, and then said: “Gentlemen, are you sure you have a company of men?” I showed him the company roll. “That won’t do,” he said. “Too often the names are oj the roll ! for show only. I must be certain. If you can give a definite assurance I will give you a position.” We told him we knew every man in the company and were confident that there would be no disappointment. We pleaded hard for the honor and-finally he said: “Gentlemen. I am inclined to give you a chance, and if you will have your company here in the barracks, the old Polk street brewery, Monday morning you may have the position.” This was Friday afternoon. At once we sent a telegram: “Company accepted if in barracks Monday; spread the news quick.” The company reached Chicago on time and was assigned to Company D quarters. I am anxious to tell your readers about the siege of Lexington, Mo. Lexington is situated in a bend on the south side of the Missouri River, and on a bluff 125 feet high. There was at that time no town at the base of the bluff—just a ferry across the river to a junction with the railroad to St. Louis. Twenty-five' miles west is Kansas City, with extensive railroad connections’reaching far and wide. I did not think that Lexington was a strategic point because it was impossible to fortify it successfully. We were at Jefferson City, Mo., when orders came to make a forced march to relieve Lexington. We left Sept. 10, 1561.,, early in the morning, bach soldier carrying five days’ rations, and reached Lexington in the dusk of the next evening, getting into the earth fortifications to the rattle of the rebel infantry guns. We posted our guards and at once got to work strengthening the breastworks, working in reliefs all the night. The garrison consisted of one regiment of Missouri "Home Guards,” 800 strong; one battery of six-inch guns and one battalion of the First Illinois Cavalry, 400 horses and men. These men had no sabers and were armed with only the bld-fashloned horse pistols used in the Mexican war. The Home Guards had the old Springfield muskets. Our regiment had the improved Springfield muskets, but not much ammunition, as it was a forced march and provisions, ammunition -and reinforcements were quickly to follow us. Sept. 12, 18G1, reports indicated five days’ rations for the’men. There was one well on College Hill, and for water we had to depend upon the river, but we expected relief would come soon. Dense, heavy timber inclosed Lexington, making a veritable death trap for our men, as nearly all the trees in good range were used by the rebels’ sharpshooters to pick off our men at every exposure, with no harm to the rebels. General Price was in command, and our scouts said he bad fully 50,000 men tnd more coming every hour. On Sept. 6 we took one of the college buildings for a hospital, and had the hospital flag hoisted over it. There was yet no word from General Fremont. On Sept. 17 the rebels charged our hospital and captured it, Although the hospital flag was plainly in sight. Captain Montgomery of Company B was orderedto retake the hospital. He captured it, but could not hol’d it. The enemy came upon him in such great numbers that he gave the order to retreat. Company B lost forty-two men in that charge. On Sept. 20 we were still without help from General Fremont, and had no food for the men and no water. The rebels made movable breastworks out of hemp bales and were gradually getting nearer to us. Sept. 21 we were again without food and water. It began to look as if we were forgotten and forsaken. Sept. 22 Company D was ordered out to the point to relieve Company K. There had been no burial of the dead in the ten days we had been there; the corpses were swollen like monsters arid the dead horses looked like elephants. The hemp bales were within twenty-five feet of our works. If a hat was exposed a volley of bullets was fired into it. All we could dp was to sit still and watch the enemy -Went forward and asked Captain SimpqLn to a conference. “It i£ folly,” I told Aim, “to prolong the misery. Colonel Mulligan ought to be told that our case Is popeless.” “Whokwill tell the colonel this?” he asked. yVlll you?” “If yoil ask me to call on him I will go,” I repaed, and he said: “Go, lieutenant.” ( I started\toward headquarters, realizing that 11 had a delicate as well as a difficult task before me, and with no idea how Colonel Mulligan would receive the message. When I had nearly reached the building headquarter/ I

met Colonel Mulligan coming 'arormd the corner. “Colonel,” I said, “may I talk with you?” “Certainly, Lieutenant McClure,” he answered. By this time the sharpshooters had us in fairly good range and the bullets were spluttering in the ground or singing in the air. “Colonel,” I said, iet us go back a few paces.” Then I continued : “Colonel Mulligan, I nope you will not misjudge me, but I must speak now. There is no food or water in the camp; there has been none for four days. The dead of the past ten days are unburied; for ten days we have been looking for re-enforcements, but none have com<\ and we feel that you can consistently and honorably surrender your forces.” He looked at me a moment, and suddenly his eyes flooded with tears. After an interval of silence he said: “Lieutenant McClure, I accept your suggestion as the wisest thing to do. Go back to Captain Simpson and say that I will at once order the adjutant to lower our flag And I will ask for an armistice.” Just as I got back to Company D I heard a great shout, a rebel shout. We looked for the cause and saw our flag being lowered. For the time being we forgot our hunger and thirst and w eariness in the greater anguish of knowing tilt the flag—our flag—had to be lowered to its enemies. As a rule, the soldier delights-to tell of his victories, but in the surrender of Lexington, Mo., there has been all these years a feeling of thankfulness in my heart that I was the one to make the suggestion to Colonel Mulligan. Our men accepted parole at once, but Colonel Mulligan’s officers declined parole, preferring to remain with him while-a prisoner. Thirty days later General Price told us that he was going to--break camp and that if we still declined the parole he would do the very best he could for us, but he felt it was a mistake on our part still to decline the parole, Colonel Mulligan advised us to accept the parole-—that a special cartel w as being arranged by Price and Fremont whereby we could soon be exchanged. It was the latter part of October when we reached .Sedalia, Mo., General Fremont’s headquarters. He had 60.000 soldiers in camp, a camp of great pomp, but he never made a move to help Colonel Mulligan. Although Fremont ha.l been one of the idols of my youth, with the siege of Lexington the halo that enveloped Fremont in my ardent admiration quickly faded away, and left him in my memory as simply a man too small for the duty intrusted to him.—Thomas D. McClure, First Lieutenant Company D, Twenty-third Illinois Infantry, in Chicago Record Herald. Developing a Talent.' ■ Airiong the pleasant remembrancer of a long stay at Natchez during the Qivil War, writes Mrs, Ellen Biddle in her “Reminiscences of a Soldier’s Wife,” is that of a beautiful blue-and-white French organdy muslin. i>he had noticed it in a shop window and greatly admired it, and her husband urged its purchase. But she had recently received a box of gowns from New. Orleans, and felt that she did not need it. Still he tempted me, saying, “If you Will make it yourself, I will not only buy the material, but you can l>uy any Valenciennes lace you may want to trim it with.” He well know my weakness ; then was nothing I loved so much as a bit of lace, real filmy, beautiful old lace. I hesitated, however, remembering so well the time, when first mavried, he gave me a twenty-dollar gold piece, when gold was scarce, if I would make a plain calico dress for myself. Unfortunately, I took the pay in advance. Many times I threw the thing down, declaring I would try no more to finish it, when the colonel would quietly say, “But you have spent th,? twenty dollars”; and I would go to work again. He was anxious for me to learn to sew, knowing I might have Lt to do some time when away from cfvtllzaj, tion, as we were apt to be. The lace tempted me, and the mhalln was bought. Fortunately for me, just at this time the beautiful Mrs. Marston came to visit us, and under her directions the gown was built, and wits a thing of beauty for many yimrs, and greatly admired. The making of it developed a latent talent, for afterward, when we‘lived On the frontier and I could not itiave sewing of any kind done, with the help of the nurse I made everything that my Children and I wore. So the colonel did not Ipse greatly in the end, and I was benefited. % What Was Desired . The late Gen.. Joseph Wheeler told this story as illustrating th<? firm lelief which prevailed in Tennessee during wartime as to the efficacy of prayer. There had been a summer religious meeting in one of the rural districts. No rain, it seems, had fallen in a long time; everything was about burned up. Consequently, the preacher concluded his prayer with this appeal for rain: “Oh, Lord, we need a refreshing shower! Be pleased to send us the blessed rain, so that the drooping vegetation may be revived —oh, Ixird! none of those light, drizzly rains, jut a rejgular ground soaker! A heavy rain, oh, Lord! But not heavy enough, good Lord, to raise the Cumberla id, river so that the Yankee gunbofts cin come in and take Nashville!” | ” This world belongs t<i tho energetic. —Emerson.
