To impure blood is doe a great variety of ills that make life a burden. Att the year rdund, yon may rely upon Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify the blood and invigorate the system. It's not like the sarsaparillas, that are said to be good for the blood in March, April and May. The "Discovery" works equally well at all times, and in all cases of blood-taints, or humors, no matter -what their name or nature. It's the cheapest blood-purifier, old through druggists, because you only pay for the good you get. Tour money is returned if it doesn't benefit or -cure you.

A STREET-CAR ROMANCE Tickets!" shouted the smart young conductor, as he elbowed his way through the passengers stand ing in a car which was being drawn Bwifty up California street. It was about half-past Ave o'clock on a Thursday afternoon that I found myself inside a car- filled with men returning from business, scattered among whom was a sprinkling of members of the fairer sex, who, in cumbered with their innumerable purchases and wrapped up in cloaks, allowed only the tips of their noses to appear over their long boas of fur or feathers. It was one of those cold foggy evenings that make pedestrians hurry along at top speed, while the policemen at the corners of the streets tramp up and down to keep them selves warm. The ladies seemed to have great difficulty in bringing their purses out from their small muffs or from their deep pockets, and a con tinuous tring of apologies was offered for involuntary el bowings, caused by endeavors of their benumbed hands to obtain hold of the nickels for their fares. "Why, where is my purse? You haven't got it, have you, Ethel?" ex claimed a sweet-voiced lady of middle age, after a hasty search in her muff and a lengthy exploration of the mys terious depths of her handsome gown. "No, mamma." "Then some one must have stolen it, or, perhaps, I have left it in some of the shops down at The White House, probably. All eyes were turned in the direc tion of the lady who had spoken, and the conductor began to look very knowing. "Haven't you got any money?" he demanded, in a gruff tone. "No; I have lost my purse, which contained all the money I have about me. But my husband will pa' for us in the morning, or 1 will send the money to the office at once on return ing home." "Can't do it, ma'am," replied the conductor; "you've got to pay now or get out and walk." "Here, conductor," I said, tender ing him a dime; and then, turning to the elder lady, I added: "It is the rule of the company, madam. The conductor cannot give credit to pas sengers. I hope you will permit me to spare you the annoyance of having to get out at this hour." "I am very much obliged to you, sir," replied the lady, 'and I accept your kind offer willingly. Will you be good enough to give me your ad dress, that I may discharge without delay this small debt?" "Oh, it is a mere nothing, madam," I said; "I shall be very well satisfied if you will give the sum to the first poor person j'ou meet." "Oh, no, not at all, sir, I must in sist " Under such pressure, I could hardly refuse, and as the car was now ap proaching Hyde street, where I trans ferred to the cross-town line, I took the three transfers the conductor gave me, and, confused by the deep interest of the other passengers, now all eyes and ears, I hastily drew out a card, and, raising my hat, extended it, with two transfers to the lady. But it was the young girl who, blushing deeply, took them. The following day I had almost for gotten the incident, when among my letters, I found one in an unknown hand-writing bearing the city post mark. I opened it and saw, attached to the top corner of the visiting-card inclosed, five 2-cent postage stamp. On the card was printed: MR. AND MRS. JOHN G. CARMAN. While underneath was written: Mr. and Mrs. Carman present their com pliments and thanks to Mr. Paul Barnard lor his kindness and courtesy. Tuesdays. No. Tino Street. 1 put the card aside on my desk, under a vase of violets, and it was not till one morning, nearly a week later, that I came across it again. Now, every day 3011 meet people in a street car who you look at for an instant with more or less attention; but 'in my case, I had hardly a glimpse of the mother or the daugh ter, and had not even the least idea if they were pretty or otherwise. From their accent and manner, how ever, there could dc no doubt they wenc of the upper world but, after all, of what interest could they be to' me? Nevertheless, I did feel interested, so why should I attempt to deny it? Their address had been given to me, and also their day at home. The ad dress was printed, but "the day" was written in a modern, angular English hand. Not so the lines of thanks the handwriting here was the deli cate, precise kind that young misses were taught thirty jears ago. The mother had certainly written them. But who had written "ihe day?" I became curious. Iow could I find out? Yes, there was a way. . . . But to call on people with whom I had only exchanged a few words, almost on the street, and who, in a week, might have forgotten my name and my face, was rather a delicate mat ter. Then I should have to undergo the torture of feeling myself an in truder, as the servant would an nounce me in the reception-room where, perhaps, half a dozen ladies, unknown to me, would look me over from head to foot as I advanced, as if to ask: "Who is this person, and where does he come from?" When I thought it well over, how ever, I reflected that there had been occasion to talk of me, and, at the name of Paul Barnard, Mrs. Carman would know very well who I was. At all events, 'I determined to renew the acquaintance, and so the following Tuesday found me at the door of No. Pine street. I must confess I did feel rather un easy when my inquiry "Mrs. Carman?" brought the answer: "Yes, sir; shall J take your coat, sir?" and I was presently ushered Into a handsomely furnished room, where I proceeded to pull myself together while awaiting Mrs. Carman. Since then some months have passed: "Paul, what are you writing there?" "A little story, darling." "Let me see." "No, no not yet" But she had looked over my shoul der, and a small hand soon covered my eyes, while an arm slipped round my neck and her soft lips pressed mine. Oh, you naughty boy! But just wait a minute." She disappeared, laughing, and came back quickly with a blue sachet, from which she drew out two pink street-car transfers. "You see, I've kept them safely you did not think I had thrown them away, dear? The first Tuesday I cried all night If you had not come the second " "Well, what would von have done, Ethel?" "Shall I tell you?" "Yes, do." "You won't be cross? Well, x them by would have sent you one of post" "How jolly! And Mrs. Carman knew " "No, no no! She was ever so sur prised when 3Tou called. It was I who, before closing the envelope, secretly wrote at the foot of the card 'Tues days.' Arc jou sorry?" (And then there is the sound of kissing). Argonaut Bat lilac Backs. The gentlemen comprising the sur veying party now working for the Bear Valley Company up Millard's Canon recently beheld a sight which is seldom witnessed. The story is re lated by Messrs. Pollock and Boss, transit men of the party Tiie men were working up the canon when they heard a peculiar crashing noise. Looking up, they saw on the cliffs, high above the stream, and about a quarter of a mile from them, two noble bucks, standing with heads lowered about ten feet from each other. Thus they stood eying each other and pawing the dirt for fully a minute. Then they made a simultaneous spring and came together with a noise like a fall ing tree. So violent was the concus sion that the animals were thrown back until a distance of ten or fifteen feet again intervened octween them. The men, facinated with the sight watched the deer go through the same performance again and again. Finally, after a more than usually violent rush, the bucks did not sep arate, but struggled as if apparently trying to push each other back. It soon became plain to the men, how ever, that instead of pushing they were pulling away from each other. In other words their horns had be come locked, and, from raging com batints, the bucks became frightened animals and were only bent on secur ing a divorce. Messrs. Boss, Pollock and party then conceived the idea of taking advantage of the helpless con dition of the bucks and capturing them. They made a grand rush for the sctsne, but before they reached it the deer in their struggles approached too near the edge of the cliff and both of them fell to their death in the pool below. "When the party reached the water, the deer were found locked in each other's horns, quite dead. Qneen Victoria's Private Secretary. Sir Henry Ponsonby, Queen Vic toria's private secretary, is a smart military-looking man of 66, always dressed with exquisite taste, and pos sessed of such suave manners and such dignity that no one could help being attracted to him. Like all the persons attached to the Queen, he is poorly paid for the work he does. He receives about $10,000 a year, with a house rent free at St. James' Palace, and, of course, free quarters wherever the Queen is. But he has a consid erable income of his own, and his wife has means; and their position at court has advantages altogether apart from pecuniary ones. They are in the very inner circles of the best society without any of the burdens of gran duer, and their children have excel lent prospects in life. Their eldest daughter, Alberta Victoria, the Queen's god child, made a brilliant marriage recently, and the presents that poured in from all quarters, even from several European sovereigns, were almost equal in splendor to those of some royal weddings. The Queen made a special journey to London to attend the ceremony a thing she has seldom done and the first name wit nessing the marriage of the private secretary's daughter in the register of the Guards is the bold, stiff signature of "Victoria R." Odd Names. Queer names certainly are found in the London general registry of births at Somerset House. For example, young scions of the families of Bath, Lamb, Jordan, Dew, Dear and Smith arc christened respectively Foot Pas cal, River, Morning, Offspring, and Smith Follows. Mr. Cox called his son Arthur Wcllcsly Wellington Wat erloo. Mr. Jewett a noted hunts man, named his son Edward Bying Tally-Ho Forward. A mortal that was evidently unwelcome is recorded as "One Too Many." Children with six or ten names arc frequent, but prob ably the longest name in the world, longer than that of any potentate, is attached to that of Arthur Pepper, laundryman. The name or the daughter, born in 1883, is Ann Bertha Crcilia Diana Emily Fanny Gertrude Hypatia Inez Sane Hate Louise Maud Nora Ophelia Quice Re becca Starkcy Teresa Ulysis (sic) Venus Winifred Xenophon Yelty Zeus Pepper one title precisely for every letter of the alphabet! Chtldlsb. Simplicity. The simplicity of a child is some times like a light overcoat only put on for effect At least that is what a certain parent imagines. He has two children, a boy of 8 and a girl of 10, and it is hard to tell which he thinks the more of. The other evening both of them had been exceptionally good, but he he decided to test them still further. "Children,"' he announced, impres sively, "I am going to give one of you a penny. Which shall it be?" "Give it to Johnny," remarked the daughter. "Let Nellie have it," said the son. The, proud father's eyes filled at this remarkable evidence of unselfish ness. He handed the coin to Nellie, and was reaching in his pocket for another, when Johnny interrupted him. "Papa, dear, he said reproachfully, "Nellie told you to give it to me." We speaic of those who are cruel as inhuman. Ought we not to regard them as very human? It is charac teristic of humanity to lc selfish and unkind. AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.

By the use of the avail able material and the modern pro cesses of road construction and for the manufacture of the durable product for road ballast and construc tion, permanent roads may be com menced and extended until the road bound thraldom of the producers might be thrown off. The loss to the country at large, during the periods of trade suspension, is very great and were the lost time invested in perma nent road-making the country would soon be redeemed from its slough of despond. The labor already expended in work which at best can only be temporary is a great waste of time and energy which if put into perma nent work would result in lasting future benefits. The average State debt at the present time, is doubtless comparatively small, so that any of them might, to the advantage of the general public, appropriate large funds for road-making, appropriating to any township a sum equal to the expenditures of the local investment. By this means a steady advance might be made and the tax would be so evenly distributed that the burden would not be felt Cities and towns should help to build the country roads, and the sooner legislation is directed to that end, the better for all con cerned. Rural. A Rapid Rat Trap. A rat trap I recently saw consisted of a barrel, the head of which was bung in the middle and tipped both ways. To hang the head, holes were bored in the staves diametrically op posite and a couple of wire spikes driven through the holes and into the head. The head was balanced in a horizontal position by driving an old file ino the center on the under side. Fig. 1 shows the head, bottom side up. To set the trap, the bait was fastened to the head, as in fig. 2, with about a foot of water in the barrel. Then, when the rat got on the head for the bait the head tipped up and let him in, springing back ready for the next one. This trap has a record of twenty-four rats in a single night with pumpkin seeds, fastened on with brads, for bait Fresh meat will also do. Charles Lewis, in "Farm and Home. Making- and Keeping Maaare. If the farmer cannot draw his ma nure to the fields as fast as it is made, it should be piled, free from sink holes, and to guard as far as possible against the evil and malarial con sequences of being too near the barn. I am absolutely opposed to manure basements under the stable, writes an experienced farmer. Experience taught me of the dangers of the ma nure heap. My barn had a large manure pit directly below the cows. The cellar was below the ground sur face and the surface water accumu lated. In driving the cows to the field one dropped dead. A veterinary surgeon could not discover the cause. The next day another cow dropped dead. A post-mortem examination was of no avail. The next day while milking another cow dropped dead. I went right to work, took up all the stable floor, drew every parcle of the j manure out whitewashed everything, put the floor back and never a sick animal after that The poisonous gases from the manure stable were the sole cause of sickness and death. Keep your manure away from your buildings. It breeds malaria, sickness and death. I do not believe in liquid vaults, but bed and litter the cattle thoroughly with cut straw. Keep everything clean and get it away from the barn. Do not house the manure under cover, but draw it directly to the fields. Let the sun and the rain return it again to the earth, to bring forth the wealth of the soil. Emat la Wheat aad' Oats. For the information of the sub scriber who asks for a "remedy to prevent smut or blasted heads in oats and wheat" we give a portion of the chapter in "Soils and Crops of the Farm" on diseases of wheat. The disease is spread by the uscof smutted seed and is to be prevented by sowing on clean ground and with seed free from smut spores. The infected seed may be practically if not entirely freed from the disease. The methods used consist in soaking the seed tin certain solutions, or simply in hot water. The most common solutions are a saturatec solution of common salt and a five per cent solution of copper sulphate The wheat should be placed in sacks or baskets and al lowed to stand twenty-four to twenty six hours, when the wheat should be spread out to dry. More recently the Danish investigator, Jensen, has in troduced the method of soaking the wheat in water at a temperature of from 127 to 133 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes. American experi menters recommend fifteen minutes. Smut is much more common and de structive on oats than on wheat The same treatment is recommended. LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY. Cor-i and Hec. Many farmers, especially those of the older generations, have a fixed rule of expectancy upon which they figure when fattening hogs. This is, that one bushel of corn will make ten pounds of pork, and if the bushel of corn is worth less than they expect to get for ten pounds of pork they con sider that there is a profit in feeding. The only trouble with this rule is that it does not always work. It fluctuates under the influence of many conditions, one of which is the state of the weather where the feed ing is done. A careful experiment has shown that in severe weather, and the animals being exposed, it has required as much as llf pounds of in i njT . " m.z. corn to make one pound of gain, while in like weather, "and with the same animals, the only difference be ing that they were sheltered in a warm barn, only 5 pounds were re quired to produce the same result Thus in one case the tuIc just about held good, while in the other it was so far wrong that there was no pos sible profit in the feeding. This is only one of the conditions that gov erns the question of profit Others are the age of the animal and the as similation of food. The only way to be on the safe side is to guard as far as possible against wrong' conditions and then to measure or weigh the food, and then weigh the animals at short intervals. If this were system atically done fewer hogs would be fed up to heavy weights, and farmers would soon learn the importance of feeding off carl y,during mild weather. Although the fact has been repeat edly and fully demonstrated that pigs cannot be kept healthy on concen trated food alone, many farmers con tinue to give them little else during the largest portion of their lives. Corn, either ground or un ground, is too solid and compact a food when unmixed with other ma terials, and cannot be thoroughly di gested unless a certain proportion of rough and bulky food is given with it A failure to observe this need is doubtless one of the most frequent causes of ciseasc with swine; and even if disease does not result, it is well established that hogs fed without this variety fail to give the best re turns for the food consumed. Pigs kept up in pens, so that they arc un able to forage for themselves, should be fed green clover; this is one of the best alternative and relaxing foods, giving bulk and lightness to the other feed, and furnishing beside, a consid erable proportion of muscle-forming material. In winter, when this can not be obtained, its place may be sup plied by rutabagas and manglc-wur-zels, turnips, carrots and other roots; or cut hay and clover, steamed or moistened and mixed with a little bran or meal, may lie fed with equally good results. Wisconsin Agricul turist ORCHARD AND GARDEN. A Raspberry Trellis. It is rare that we find a field of red raspberries in which due provi sion has been made for sustaining the canes during the bearing season. They are cut down, as a rule, in au tumn to a height of three to four feet, and left to winter througli as they can. The damage from snow is al ways serious. My own loss in winter and from broken canes in summer was so great that I have adopted the following plan: 1 set strong cedar stakes at the ends of rows and at in tervals of twenty-five feet To these I staple a wire, as for a grape trellis, about four feet, from the ground. Then, bringing the canes together in bunches of three or four, they arc tied with soft strong twine above the wire, not on the wire, for then the cord would soon be cut by the wi?c The rows being all tied, intervening and short canes arc dug out Then, with hedge-shears, the tons are cut off at a height of six feet This height on this plan is not too great. The raspberry likes a moist, shaded soil, and in this way it shades its own roots. In the bearing season the sides of these trellises become a wall of berries, a wonderful sight to be hold. Pickers move up and down the rows quite hidden. I have described my plan with the Cuthbert and Gold en Queen in view. These, in fact are with me the only standard first class raspberries for market as yet. The Turner must be grown very thinly here, and in hills, to secure a reasonable crop. The Marlboro has succeeded fairly well as above, but with me it is not a standard in any sense. Rancocas I must reject, as also Hansell, Lost Rubies and Crimson Cluster. Schaffer's Colossal does admirably on the wire, and is an enormous bearer on that plan. Black Raspberries, in general, had probably best be cut low and grown in stout heads. E. P. Powell, in Garden and Forest AppTe Trees A lone Roadside. Much of the droppings from horses or other animals driven .along the street finds its way to roadsides, which are, therefore, good places to grow apple trees. Possibly when they come into bearing some of the fruit will be taken .by passers-by, but its owner can afford to give toll to the public for its use of land that is de voted to public service. When the road is macadamized, the apple tree roots will run under it, taking that part of the excrement that is filtered through the stones and is become the best possible plant food. Some years ago we saw a macadam road taken up for repairs, and a complete network of apple-tree roots was found under the stones, coming from trees more than two rods distant, as they were inside the fence in the lot adjoining the road. Rich tree seemed to have found this rich deposit of fertility, and sent its feeding rootlets to secure its share. The owner said this row of trees next the road had always borne better than any others, and when he saw the mass of roots under the macadam he knew the reason for the fact American Cultivator. HOUSEHOLD AND KITCHEN. Bow Beds Aro Dressed. Beds are dressed in two particular approved forms. One has a bolster arrangement, both top and bottom, in a way to permit a lace spread to be tucked under and then draped over. A bed, to have this form of arrangement, should be of equal height at the head and foot boards, and be placed sideways against the wall. Another clever ar rangement is permitted when the bed can be located in a corner. A tent-like canopy runs out from the angle of .ceiling and walls and is draped down. Pillow-shams are quite out of style; everything now is French or English and goes back a hundred years for its form, and, of course, pillow-shams did not worry people in those days. Vtbat Good Cooks Say. Stewed Veal. Cut a slice of the cutlet in small pieces, season it with pepper, salt, and, if j'ou prefer it, a little grated lemon peel and nutmeg. Pour in as much water as will nearly cover it let it cook slowly till about half done, then make a rich gravy with some pieces of butter rolled in flour, and add to the water it was stewed in. Sponge Cake. Beat whites and yolks of four eggs separately, add two cupfuls of powdered sugar. Mix well two cupfuls of sifted flour, one-half cupful of cornstarch and two tea spoonfuls of baking powder; add to the eggs and sugar. Pour over the whole, stirring briskly, one cupful or boiling water. Flavor. Bake in two pans about IJ inches deep. If de sired, spread blackberry or other jam betweem the cakes. A TLmtSLy Escape.
