From Harper’s Weekly A Californian relates the following as illustrating- the aptness evinced by a Chinese servant In his employ for an easy assimilation of American methods of dealing with the "hobo” type that Is not less common in California than in the east. A hungry tramp knocked at the kitchen door of the Californian's house one Tuesday afternoon', when he was promptly challenged by Lee Yuen. The "hobo'' delivered himself of a long tale of wofe to the Chinaman, concluding with a petition for something to eat. "You like flish?” suavely Insinuated the. Chinese. "Yes'!” eagerly assented the tramp. “Call Fliday,” responded Lee, with ' an imperturbable smile, as he closed ; the door. | Suicide and the New Woman. “Women, as they become more highly educated, tend more to commit suicide,” said the president of a girl’s college. “In the past they only killed themselves for love. "But now, being educated, they live like men. Bike men they write, paint, build, run groceries, drug stores, brokerages. And like men they commit suicide. “They committed suicide in the past from love alone, but now from disap pointed ambition, from loss of money, from a to: k’s failure, from a fall in stocks, from a rise in drugs. “But the higher education of woman is a good tiling, even if It does cause her now and then to kill herself.” AN EVERY-DAY STRUGGLE. Too Many Women Curry tlie Heavy Bond of Kidney Sickness. Mrs. H. W. Wright of 172 Main street, Haverhill, Mass.. says: "In 180S I was suffering so with sharp pains in the small of the back and had such frequent dizzy spells that I could scarcely get about the bouse. The urinary pas sages were also quite irregular. Monthly periods were so distressing 1 dreaded their approach. This was my condition for four years. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me right away when I began with them and three boxes cured me permanently.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburu Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. A Lively Catch.

Who is the happy man?” Bridget. “Dou you remember, mum, me askin' you about four weeks ago to go to the funeral of a friend? Well, I do be goin’ to marry the corpse’s husband.

It was my fortune to make the prince's acquaintance when he was an apprentice in the Danish navy. I was a midshipman at the time, and just one notch higher rank. We were thrown a good deni together on various ships, and I believe it is this rough-and-ready training in seamanship at an early age which contributed strongly toward ■ making a man out of the prince, who as a boy wjs very much like what mid dies call a "piece of furniture." There were seven apprentices in the mess to which the prince belonged on shipboard, and of which I was the eighth and mess master. We all called him by his eighth name—that Is, Karl in Danish—and he had to eat the same "grub” and stand the same hardships ns all the other apprentices. He was al lowed to have no advantages or "ex tras" over and above his comrades, and although everybody knows him to be a prince of the realm, no deference what ever was paid him as such. On the contrary, ho was "hazed" and made miserable in good, old midshipman 1 style. He took his medicine bravely enough, though there were times when, by his looks, he must have wished for "home and mother,” or that he was ashore, where he, as a prince of the realm, would have a right to command a salute from any man and any of ficer In the fleet! , On board ship he had to mend his* own clothes, darn his socks, sew on but-l tons, and keep his weapons and ac coutrements in order. He slept In a' regulation sailor hammock, with his clothes, rolled up under his head, for a pillow, without a nightshirt, and wear-’; ing only a sailor’s woolen striped un-' dershirt, and bundled up in a woolen’ blanket, sometimes with his sea bootfj dangling by the hammock rope. As( an apprentice, one of his duties in cleaning ship early at dawn was to pass] buckets of salt water and go over the! quarterdeck with a huge sage-broom^ When polishing would begin he was as-, signed to the big binnacle lantern on, the bridge, inside which the compass is. He became quite an expert at polishing^ and used to make that brass binnacle, flash like silver mail. He could never! quite get used to chewing tobacco, which in the eyes of every true appren tice is one of the cardinal virtues; and, whenever he was seasick, which often! happened, he used to sit in the gang-, way on a bucket ’and chew rye bread. This close intimacy with boys of his own age, and subsequently when he was appointed midshipman and cadet,, his contact with manly naval men and1 real human conditions of life,.are the. I factors which eventually made out oil j this boy—who was originally little more, than a "court kid”—one of the ‘ mosty I real and natural living royal princes. It, ! opened his eyes to the forces and exi | gencies that govern real life. It substl-, i tuted within him for the lassitude of 1 the courtier the ambition of the healthy, S young man of action. i -— Worth Knowing —that Allcock’s are the original and only genuine porous plasters; all other 60-called porous plasters are imitations. Mark Twain’s Story for Schoolboys. From Harper’s Weekly. Mark Twain on his last visit to his old home—Hannibal, Missouri—told to the school children a true story about a school boy. “This boy,” he said, “awoke one morn ing very ill. His groans alarmed the house hold. The doctor was sent for, and came post-haste. “ ‘Well,’ said the doctor, as he entered the sick-room, ‘wlfat is the trouble?’ “ ‘A pain in my side, said the boy. “ 'A pain in the head?’ “ ‘Yes, sir.’ “ ‘Is the right hand stiff?’ “ ‘A little.’ “ ‘How about the right foot?* “ ‘That’s stiff, too.’ “The doctor winked at the boy’s mother. “ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘you’re pretty sick. But you'll be able to go to school on Monday. | Bet me see, today is Saturday, and—’ “ ‘Is today Saturday?’ said the boy in a vexed tone. T thought it was Friday.’ "Half an hour later the boy declared himself healed, and got up. Then they packed him off to school, for it was Friday, after all.” i A Sanctum View. I Office Boy—“Oh, Mr. Scratcher, d’ye | mind that man ■who wras in here jus’ a little i while ago?” I Country Editor—“Yesslree, I do. That | was Mr. Hayseed, and he came in and paid I five years’ back subscription that I’ve most I run my legs off trying to get.” “Well, he'd hardly got Out of the office before he was hit by a runaway team an’ killed.” “My! My! That’s shockingl Well’ ther’s one consolation anyway, Yle went straight to heaven.” An Enigmatic Answer. A newspaper writer of New York wras praising Mme. Bernhardt. “She has a great deal of tact and finesse,” he said. “When, in an interview, you broach a subject she dislikes, she doesn’t come right out and say so, but she makes you such puzzling, such enig matic answers, that perforce you shift to another topic. “I once wrent to get a very Intimate in terview with the famous lady. I want to find out what colors she liked best, what food she ate, wrhat wine she drank, what hours she slept, and all that sort of thing. “She talked freely enough till I came to the food question. That, it was plain, she regarded as too gross a subject for dis cussion. So, when I opened up with the query, ‘And have you a good appetite, madam?’ she smiled strangely and an swered : “ ‘I sometimes eat more than I do at other times; but never less.’ ’• LOST EYESIGHT Through Coffee Drinking Some people question the statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands prove the general statement true and physicians have records of great numbers of eases that add to the testimony. Tiio following is from the Rockford, 111., Register-Gazette: Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora has been treating one of the queerest eases of lost eyesight ever in history. The patient is O. A. Leach of Beach county, and In the last four months he has doctored with all of the spe cialists about the country and has at last returned homo with the fact im pressed on his mind that his ease is Incurable. A portion of the optic nerve has been ruined, rendering his sight so 11m ited that lie is unable to see anything before hiru, but he can see plainly any thing at the side of him. There have been but few cases of its kind before and they have been caused by whiskey or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been a great coffee drinker and the specialists have decid ed that the case has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night. According to the records of the specialists of this coun try this is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee. The nerve is ruined beyond aid and his case is Incurable. The fact that makes the case a queer one is that the sight forward has been lost and the side sight has been retained. Accord ing to the doctor’s statement the young man will have to give up coffee or the re»t of his sight will follow and the entire nerve be ruined.—Register-Ga zette. Let it be remembered that the eyes may be attacked in one case and the stomach in another, while in others it may be kidneys, heart, bowels or gen eral nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious and should be adopted be-< fore too late. Quit coffee, if you show incipient disease. It is easy if one can have well-boiled Postum Food Coffee to serve for the hot morning beverage. The withdraw al of the old kind of coffee that is do ing the harm and the supply of the ele ments in the Postum which Nature uses to rebuild the broken down nerve cells, Insures a quick return to the old joy of strength and health, and It’s well worth while to be able again to “do things” and feel well. There’s a reason for POSTUM r--*.... Farm Facts From the Farmer and Breeder. Now don’t neglect that Ice supply. It's a nice Job and you will be glad you put It up, long before July 4. • In Texas It has beefi shown that 1 cotton seed meal mixed with corn makes a tip-top feed for hogs. Haul In your hay and straw now while the fields are hard frozen. Don’t wait till spring, when It will take twice as much help. If you can't think of anything else to do, tackle the woodpile. There Is lit tle time lor wood cutting after the spring wortt commence*. By all means attend the short course at the agricultural college this season. The cost Is trilling and the Instruction will be along practical, helpful lines. Feed the ewes liberally, but do not overfeed. Good clover hay, plenty of exercise and warm shelter will keep them In fine condition. Do not feed too •heavily of protein feeds. Be sure that your farm scales are In perfect order. Dirt easily accumulates nbout the levers and prevents free ac tion. Make frequent tests of your Iscales.to see whether they are weigh ing correctly. ; It Is to the credit of American farm iers that more attention Is now given to farm crops than at any previous time In our history; and' with the result that (farmers are making more mbney than j r” ver before. In Nebraska It has been demon istrated that medium size ears of corn ►used for seed gave a better yield than ilarge ears. It was also shown that .different varieties did better In differ ent sections of the state. ; Tlie straw pile can be made valuable by working it into manure. Keep all stock well bedded, and haul all manure [before its substance is wasted, and you ; [will not have much trouble In keeping tup the fertility of your farm. ! When shipping stock, it pays to con sign to some reliable commission firm. One may ship his own stock, but the Commission men are better acquainted with buyers and will nine times out of ten get a better price than the shipper Jiimself could get. ( It should be remembered when se lecting tree3 for a wind break that it is quite an Item to have them of a close growing habit and of as nearly [uniform shape as possible. Then by (planting a double row of them reason ably close together the effect desired may be easily secured. Have you ever noticed that the farm ers who buy corn, clover hay and oil cake, for feeding their stock, always 'have the most fertile farms. The man Iwho practices selling his grain crops is talking just that much fertility from his own farm and selling it at the price of grain. It is a very bad practice. The seed bed is very Important if we expect perfect germination of seed. The ' rmost vigorous seed will not bring forth la good stand unless it is placed in such ja condition that It can get both warmth [and moisture. It is also essential that 'the soil be worked to a fine tilth so that the root hairs may reach it and draw •nourishment. A subscriber asks whether it Is prof itable to grow sweet corn for canning factories. When one is situated close to the factory, and is paid a fair price for his corn, he can realize from $12 to $20 per acre, and have the stalks left to feed as green fodder. It does not cost much more to grow sweet corn than it does ordinary field corn. The first year of the calf's life deter mines to a great degree its value as an animal of profit. It must be kept thrifty and growing from the start. The sooner the calf can be grown up to a cow or steer size the more profit there is in the business of raising cattle. Give warm, dry quarters and give a sufficient va riety of food to keep up a good appe tite. To develop and fix profitable as well as desirable qualities, and at the same time to increase the vigor and consti tution of the produce with due attention to the beauty, attractiveness and sell ing qualities should be the aim of the teally scientific breeder and there has certainly been proved thus far no limit to development in the directions of a (perfect type. The report of the executive commit tee showed the association in a most [prosperous condition. There are at •present 85,462 cattle recorded in the herd book. There were 1,274 more en tries than last year. The total ap propriation for 1906 for premiums is $12,000, of which the International gets £4,500. There were 111 new members f.aken Into the association during th’e past year. It is not altogether the amount of work that is done'on the farm that tells so much as the manner in which it is done. There is a best time to do every- ; 1 Jhing. Farm work to be the most suc cessful must be done at the right time. iLate planting and late sowdng cuts off (the yield and diminishes the quality of pH crops. In nearly all cases nature in dicates by the seasons when the work should begin. Several hundred adherents of the (Aberdeen-Angus breed of cattle met iJn annual conference at the Palmer House in Chicago and elected the fol lowing officers: President, Judge J. IS. Goodwin, Chicago; vice president, jC. J. Martin, Churdan, la.; secretary (and treasurer, Thos. McFarlane, Chi taigo. Three directors were elected as (follows: Judge J. S. Goodwin, Illinois; C. E. Marvin, Kentucky; Geo. Kitchin, Jr., Missouri. The oats crop of thi3 country is be coming a very important one. It has been a badly neglected crop, usually sown on the poorest fields, and put in with less care than other crops. Just bear these things in mind and you will Increase your oats yield 25 per cent,: Sow ample seed—from 2% to 3 bushels to the acre; sow chean, heavy seed of one of the hardiest varieties. While no variety 1b yet proved rust proof, yet some sorts are mote so than others. The main point is to sow vigorous seed, in well-prepared soil, and the crop will do its best to hold its own. The ingredients of commercial fertil izers on which both agricultural and commercial value chiefly depend ar# nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. (Besides these more valuable ingredi ents, sulphuric acid and lime are al ways present in the superphosphates in considerable quantities being a neces sary accompaniment of phosphoric acid os it exists in nearly all fertilizers. Nitrogen is the most costly of the three Important ingredients mentioned and pdds largely to the value of all the fer tilizers sold with but few exceptions. In applying these three in nearly all cases a sufficient amount of ail other elements needed will be supplied. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Gecngetta Witter, 13. L., professor in the department of domestic economy, state college of agriculture, writes that the short course in domestic science will be offered at Iowa college, Ames, la., January 2-lj. This course is intended for the women of the state and is open to them for the small fee of $5. This is the second short course. Last winter there was an attendance of almost 100 women. Corn may be bred to raise or lower the ear on the stalk, and to Increase j or decrease the height of tne stalk. J WHO SHE WAS SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of *73” Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. h This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert Mid investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham. a builder and real estate operator, und their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They hud four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nuture's Own remedies— calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition und ex • perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop erties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu liar to the femalesex, and LydiaE.Pink ham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used ii recommended it to others, and the de mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam ily had saved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to day Lydia Ii Pinkham and her Vege table Compound have become house hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu ally in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful expe rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was alwayscareful to pre serve a record of every case that, came to her attention. Theimse of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, includ ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made sinee. are available to sick women the world, over, and represent a vast collabora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman’s ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was Carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in fier vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its origina tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she,, has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work,and* probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad vised how to regain health. Kick wo men. this advice is “Yours for Health” freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs ; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
