Well, I want to
tell you, if you
don't kill out the

you eventually.
What do I
mean? Why,
La Grippe leaves

deranged, and
finally, if you
don't do any
thing for it. you will "kick the bucket"
Che first you know.
What's that? Oh yes, I know
Jast what to do to straighten you out

tainly I did, and it saved my life too.

What? Oh, yes, I could mention
hundreds. Any remarkable cures?
Well, I should say so; there never
was any treatment equal to It
What? Well, after any one has La
Grippe, and also many people In the
Spring are about hclf dead, because
the liver and nearly all the internal
organs are clogged, and don't work
properly, and it causes all the bad
symptoms you can possibly imagine
What? Oh yes, I have watched
this treatment for a long time, and I
know there is nothing that equals Dr.
Kay's Renovator for all such cases
as well as stomach troubles, indiges
tion, liver and kidney troubles, head
ache and constipation What?
Oh, it is called Dr. Kay's Renovator,

cents and one dollar; but if they don't
have It, they will try to sell you some
thing else that they will tell you Is
just as good; but don't you take any
substitute, for there is nothing that
equals the Dr. Kay's Renovator. If
they don't hare it, you just send the

Adaalral Sampson has written for
the April Century an illustrated article
fally describing the work of "The At
lantic Fleet In the Spanish War," and
drawing its lessons. The more im
portant features of this paper are a
plan setting forth the character of the
blockade of Santiago harbor; maps
showing the relative positions from
day to day of Cervera, Schley and
Sampson; and a series of bird's eye
plans of tho engagement of July 3,
showing the positions of the vessels
at different stages of the fight In a
foot-note the admiral tells this good
story: "As we passed the Teresa and
Oqueado, a Spanish sailor was seen
struggling in the water on the sea
ward side of the New York. In res
ponse to his calls for help, one of the
,rew seized the chaplain's reading
iesk, which was stowed on the main
deck in the passage between the two
cabins, and which had a cross showing
on it. As he did so, he cried out grim-
f ly, 'Cling to the cross and you'll be
saved!' The Spaniard followed instruc
tions and was saved."
At the close of the last week of
February there were within the Lon
don city limits close upon 110,000
paupers in receipt of regular relief.
This number compares most unfavor
ably with the returns for a similar
period druing the three sreceedinx
years, when times were decldedlv
harder. Of the new total, 68.431 wore
classed as indoor paupers, as against
67,521 so classed last year. Besides
these and the so-called out-door pau
pers, there were 1,114 vagrante, of
whom 912 were men. 192 women and
but ten children.
A British ..shop once rose to ad
dress the house of lords and began by
saying he intended to divide his speech
into twelve heads. Lord Durham there
upon got up and -egged leave to in
terpose for a few minutes to tell the
house an anecdote. He was returning
borne, he said, a few nights before,
and passed St rauls Cathedral just
before midnight As he did so there
was a drunken man trying to see the
time. Just then the clock began to
strike the hour and slowly tolled out
12. The drunken man listened, looked
hard at the clock, and said: "Confound
you, why couldn't you have said all
that at once!" After this relation the
bishop condensed h.s remarks.

It Is generally conceded by econo
mists, who study the commercial sit
uation of the country, that the great
arteries of railway travel are a sure
Indication of its condition. A depres
sion in commercial lines means aban
doned business trips and the cancella
tion of pleasure travel, while a healthy
condition of affairs means business
trips and an increase of passengers on
pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business re
vival has gone broadcast over this
country is the "Lake Shore Limited,"
the star train of the Vanderbilt sys
tem, between New York and Chicago,
which is daily comfortably filled. With
a view to taking the best possible care
of Its patrons, the New York Central
has arranged to increase the equip
ment of this train by placing an addi
tional 'standard sleeper on the trains
leaving New York and Chicago Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. To
the regular traveler the appointments
and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made a
trip on It, you owe It to yourself to
see and enjoy the advance made in
comfort and luxury in modern railway
travel. Remember the fare is no high
er on this train, except between New
York and Chicago, while the accommo
dations and service place this particu
lar train conspicuously at the head of
the list when compared with other

' A SENSIBLE LETTER.
A Wastsra Caaadtaa Settler Writes to
aa Illinois Frlead.
In writing to Mr. T. Hawkyard, of
Rockford, 111., Mr. G. Simpkins, of
Lednc, Alberta, Western Canada (and
to which points especially low rates are
being quoted over all lines of rail
way), says:
Dear Sir: Rec'd your lettor the 14th
Inst; We have had no snow till after
Christmas and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good
condition. It is snowing now. That
is what we want; have about 6 Inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means a good crop
the coming season. It never drifts
here. The weather is calm and bright.
We do not have to dress any heavier
than in Illinois, and the horses never
shiver with the cold when we take
them from the warm stables, as they
do in Illinois. It has not frozen in the
stable this winter. The most of the
stock runs out, but there is no need
of it, for timber Is plentiful and there
Is no expense to build good stables and
houses. We have good log houses and
they are very warm. Two men can
put up a house 16x24 in two days.
There are good rails for fences. We
live ten miles from the coal district,
the price being from 50 cents up to
$2.00. The land is a very rich, loamy
soil, from 6 inches to several feet in
depth; the hills have the deepest. It
is a rolling country, and excellent for
stock of all kinds. Sheep do well, and
there are plenty of small lakes where
the cattle can get good water. The
cattle got out of grass last year, about
the middle of April, and run. at large;
unless in charge of a herdsman, we
have to fence against them. Wheat
goes from 35 to 60 bushels per acre,
oats 80 to 90, very often over a hun
dred. As to potatoes, a neighbor
planted 7 bushels and dug 226 bushels
and no bugs. Roots of all kinds do
welL There are lots of strawberries
and lots of red raspberries, black and
red currants, and gooseberries, where
the fire has not burnt them. Cattle
are scarce. .1 have been trying to buy
some for 8 months and have got only
three two-year-old, and paid 830 each.
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for 6 cents dressed, and cost more
for stockers. Wheat 50 cents per bu.,
oats 25 cents, eggs 30 cents a dosen,
butter 15 and 20 cents, poultry was 10
and 11 cents dressed. Sheep are
scarce. If you come, bring your farm
tools, but bring no seeders; we use
drills. Bring cows, but do not bring
horses unless you are an experienced
hand in shipping them, for so many of
them are hurt in shipping. There will
be plenty of work for a binder. Two
good horses will break, but three light
er are better. The horses you get here
can work without grain, but are better
with it It will be hard to tell what
prices horses will be. for the immigra
tion will be very large the coming
spring. They could be had last spring
at one time. They claim the best time
to break is June, but my experience
Is to break in the spring and work it.
You can break till the middle of July.

The news was a complete surprise to
local railroad men, as no rumor of a
change in the traffic department of
either road had been circulated. It is
believed that the approaching en
trance of the Santa Fe into San Fran
cisco and consequent competition
something the Southern Pacific has not
yet had to face on traffic Into that
city, is the cause of the change. Mr
McCormick is a progressive passenger'
man and is considered one of the best1

The Ohio Experiment Station sends
at the following: A number of in)
fairies have come to the Ohio Experi
ment Station concerning the best
BMthod of treatment of fruit trees
which have been Injured by freezing.
It stay be said, in the beginning, that
a frosea branch Is of no use to the
tree, and the best thing that can be
dcae Is to remove all parts that are
seriously affected. The questions
which naturally arise are "When
should pruning be done and how much
of the top shall be removed?"
It Is well to wait until it is possible
to determine about how much Injury
has been done, as shown by the dis
colored wood and shriveled bark.
Usually one warm spell is a sufficient
length of time to wait, but it is pos
sible to defer the work too long, as
the frozen wood seems to have a del
eterious effect upon the sound parts.
If not removed before growth com
mences. During March, and. In some
eases even as late as April, the prun
lag should be done. The quantity of
wood to be removed will be deter
mined, in most cases, by the extent of
the injary; but in the case of peach
and some varieties of plum trees an
Important exception may be men
tioned. These ought to be pruned
more severely than merely to remove
injured wood,r except where they are
killed to the snow line, and in such
a case it Is doubtful if they can be
saved at all.
Peach trees which are from three to
five years old and have never been
pruned to any extent need special at
tention. In case the injury to such
trees does not extend beyond the twigs
and small branches, the best thing
that can be done is to cut off all the
branches to within one or three feet
of the body of the tree. A tree five
years old, which has been allowed to
grow at will, may have long, slender
branches, six to ten feet in length,
with most of the fruit-bearing wood
near the extremities. Such a tree
needs topping, even if a crop has to be
sacrificed in order to get it into proper
shape. To cut out half the top from
such a tree will improve succeeding
crops and prolong the life of the tree.
This puts the pruning upon a different
basis. It is to be done not merely to
remove dead wood, but to get the
trees into shape for future usefulness.
With this object in view the trees are
to he so pruned that they can carry
the next crop of fruit without break
ing down. Of course it will be neces
sary to cut oft limbs of considerable
size, in many cases, and it will not be
possible to avoid naked stubs.
This can be remedied the next sea
son, however, at which time surplus
branches may be removed also. Inci
dentally, it should be stated that some
cutting back is necessary each season,
in order to keep the trees in, proper
form. This method of pruning peach
trees has so many advantages, that
the loss of this season's crop will real
ly prove to be a blessing to those who
take advantage of the present oppor
tunity to get their trees into proper
shape. In case of young trees which
have been planted only one or two
years, it may be found that the injury
extends to the trunk, and possibly to
near the ground. If there is life above
the bud the best thing to do is to cut
the entire top away as far as there
appears to be injury, and start a new
top. If cut off early in the season,
however, the stump is apt to become
dry, as shown by cracking. To pre
vent this the end should be covered
with wax. or some material that will
prevent the escape of moisture.
American and Japanese varieties of
plums should be treated in the same
manner as peach trees, and possibly
sweet cherries also. Apple and pear
trees will probably need no prnning
of the kind mentioned.
Bottled Milk la New York.
The demand for bottled milk h
growing In New York, and to all ex
cept the cheap trade milk is supplied
in this farm, says Country Gentleman.
The milk is bottled both in the city
after it has been shipped in forty-quart
cans, and in the country on the farm.
The highest-class dairies have their
milk bottled on the farm, but cheap
imitators of them bottle it in the city.
When bottled on the farm, one-third
of the contents of the bottle usually
shows cream, and as many customers
judge their milk by the amount o!
apparent cream on the top. this meth
od should prove the most satisfactory.
It may cost a trifle more to ship a
box of forty quart bottles to the city
than a can of forty quarts; but in the
end the milk is apt to be better and
is less likely to be tampered with. One
of the most successful dairy companies
in the city seals the top of the milk
bottle at the dairy, and advises its cus
tomers to refuse to take any with the
seal broken. This is certainly an ef
fective way of getting around the
small retailer who frequently waters
his milk. The standard price of milk
has been 8 cents a quart here for many
years; but there are plenty of stores
which sell milk at 5 and 6 cents a
quart. This is all can milk, and is
never sold for less than 7 or 8 cents ir
bottles.
The Jag Watering Trough.
I water my chickens in jars or jugs,
putting them out in different places,
so the fowls will always have plenty
of water, says a correspondent of Ne
braska Farmer. Fill jar or jug and
turn it bottom side up on a plate. Put
under the mouth of the jar some little
pieces of iron like small nails to raise
it up, just high enough to let the water
out, but be careful that you do not
raise it too high or the water will all
run out. If you do not put something
under it the air will shut off the
water. The jug will tip over very
easily so you will have it to drive some
stakes down to hold it bottom up.
Now, I don't say this is the best way
for every one to water fowls, it is for
me.
The Stave Silo. At the annual meet
ing of the Illinois Dairymen's associa
tion, Professor Plumb of Indiana
spoke on the silo. He had had an ex
perience of 15 years, and was thorough
ly convinced of its value. Recently
they had constructed a stave silo at
the Indiana station with a capacity of
62 tons and costing 8118.19. This
meant that each ton capacity cost
si.88. He believed that in many places
this silo could be built at a much less
cost. A top was not necessary as the
little rain that gets in does no injury.
Bogus Land in Illinois. One of the
most troublesome features of Illinois
agriculture is the so-called "bogus
lands" or "alkali spots" scattered
promiscuously over the central and
northern portions of the state. They
amount in the aggregate to thousands
of acres and are practically unproduc
tive as farm lands.
The greatest pilgrimages to the holy
land are undertaken by the Russians.
It has been calculated that between
30.000 and 40.000 Russians visit Pales
tine every year.

'X'HE pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well-known remedy, Svrup of Figs, manufactured
A byjhe California Fig Syrup Company, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxative principles
of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste
and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxative.
CLEANSING THE SYSTEM EFFECTUALLY, DISPELLING
COLDS AND HEADACHES, PREVENTING FEVERS,
OVERCOMING HABITUAL CONSTIPATION PERMANENT! Y.
Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, gently yet promptly, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. '
In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but
THE MEDICINAL QUALITIES ARE OBTAINED FROM SENNA AND OTHER AROMATIC PLANTS,
by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Company only. In order to get its beneficial effects, and
to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of even- package.
Consumers of the choicest products of modern commerce purchase at about the same pric.' that others
pay for cheap and worthless imitations. To come into universal demand and to be everywhere considered
the best of its class, an article must be capable of satisfying the wants and tastes of the best informed
purchasers. The California Fig Syrup Company having met with the highest success in the manufacture
and sale of its excellent liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, it has become important to aii to have a
knowledge of the Company and its product. The California Fig Syrup Company was organized more than
fifteen years ago, for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be
more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the
remedy, as a medicinal agent and of the Company's efforts, is attested by the sale of millions of bottles
annually, and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named
Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only, the knowledge of that fact
will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties.
