How to Keep House. \\ ith all the luxuries arid pleasures of this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller comforts, there is an olfset or antithesis Which we have to contend with in the form of aches and pains. Ut some way and by some means every one has a touch of them in some form at some time. Trifling as some of them may be, the risk is that they will grow to something greater and rack the system with con stant torture. There is nothing, there fore, of this kind that we have a right to trifle with. Taken in time, the worst forms of aches and pr.ins are easily sub dued and cured by the free use "of St. Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household ought to be without a bottle of this great remedy for pain. It is the specific virtue of penetration in St. Jacobs Oil that carries it right to the pain spot and effects a prompt cure even in the most painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago. You want it also in the house at all times for hurts, cuts and Wounds, and the house that always has it keeps up a sort of insurance against pain. + Knocked Out by Time.

FIXING PRICE OF POETRY. The Only Way of Deciding What the Real Article for Magazine Use Is. The great magazine editor was wrapped in thought and cigar smoke.

"Was I able to make anything of it?" "No." "Then accept it, of course." "Hut how much sliail we pay for it?" The great editor increased the cloud of thought and cigar smoke. "Have you read it?" he asked, at last, es." "Were you abb to make anything out of it?" "No." "Looks as if it might be pretty valuable, doesn't it? How many of our manuscript readers have tackled it?"

The Principal of a High School in a flourishing Calif, city says: "For 213 years 1 worked in the school with only short summer vacations. 1 formed the habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly which coupled with iny sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, larue back and rheuma tism. "Upon consulting physicians some doped me with drugs, while others pre scribed dieting and sometimes I got temporary relief, other times not. For 12 years I struggled along with this handicap to my work, seldom laid up but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains. "Two years ago I met an old frieni', a physician who noticed at once my out-of-health condition and who pre scrihed for me an exclusive uiet of Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit. "112 followed his instructions and in two months I felt like a new man with no more headaches, rheumatism or liver trouble and from that time tc this Grape-Nuts has been my main food for morning and evening meals, am stronger and healthier than I have been for years without a trace of the old troubles. "Judging from my vigorous physical and mental state 1 tell mj people Methuselah may yet have w tale second place among the old men, for I feel like I will live a great many more years. "To all this remarkable change in health I am indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and I hope the Postttm Co. will continue to manufacture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet. until I move to a world where indigestion is unknown."

THE PLATFORM AND PARKER New York Judge Will Stand on Any Old Thing- the Bosses May Erect for Him. If the democrats are on the way to the nomination of Judge Parker, the ques tion of a platform becomes somewhat simplified. He should not be a hard man to fit. He has no political record that requires to be studied, and he pos sesses in platform matters the spirit of accommodation. Witness his accept ance of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms when he was not in agree ment with either. As a candidate he could not, of cours*, stand upon a re affirmation of either of those deliver ances, or upon aplat«>rin reproducing in substance policies which the country has twice rejected. But he will be a good man to father generalities, and ttf both write and talk around ticklish topics. It was never difficult to fit Mr. Cleve land with a platform, even after he had made a record. He stood upon what was prepared for him. Twice his friends tried to shape the deliverances to his and their liking, but both times failed. The platform which Mr. Gorman took to St. Louis in 1888 was very unlike the one which Mr. Watterson induced the con vention to aiiopt. but the change made no difference with Mr. Cleveland. He desired the Gorman platform, but will ingly accepted the other. The main thing was the renomination, and that had come to him without a contest. Something like this took place again four years later at Chicago. The men who were there making the fight for Mr. Cleveland tried again to soften the plat form on the tariff question. They played openly for a straddle. But their defeat did not disturb Mr. Cleveland. He accepted the platform adopted as readily as be would have done the one his friends had fought for. The main thing was the nomination, and Mr. Whitney and his little black satchel had secured that. Here, then, says the Chicago Tribune, would appear to be precedent enough for Judge Parker. The nomination is the thing. He can stand upon any plat form which the St. Louis convention, if influenced by the spirit of moderation and compromise, may adopt. And then he may turn to the Bryan people and s-ay: "I voted with you twice when net in sympathy with your views. Come, now, we are not trying a case in court. Nobody is under oath. Vote for mo whether you be'lieve these things or not. I am nearer to you politically than Theo dore Roosevelt, and if 1 am not elected he will be."

Wall Street Gamblers May Yet Bring About Nomination of the Ex-President. In the memoirs of Henry Villard is found the story of a presidential boom in the making. A money king of Wall street originated the Cleveland move ment in 1892. His sole object was financial legislation on lines of his own convictions. He drew to his side other money kings, and together they rigged the political market for Cleve land stock. By the time the democrats met in national convention the cry of "Grover Cleveland, four more years of Grover!" had drowned all other cries. Silver men, tariff reformers, ail sorts and conditions of democrats, were shouting it.and everybody was led to expect that the return of Air. Cleveland to the white house would mean a tri umph for his own particular brand ol democracy. The silver men were as sured that Mr. Cleveland "would do the right thing by the white metal." | Tariff reformers were encouraged ta see the dawn of free trade. Organized labor was assured that wages would rise and work become abundant. But the real Cleveland boomers had in vie' only one thing, viz.: the es tablishment of the single gold stand awl. It was for that, and that alone, they were maneuvering. J hey knew (hat the silver men would be bitter ly disappointed. They cared nothing about free trade, and they had never been solicitous about labor. Alt- Cleveland's election, therefore, de- ; velopcd them in force, and forthwith they set out to secure what they were expecting, and had been promised at his hands. And they won. Air. C'eve land was inavgurated in Alarch, and in August congress met in special ses- i sion at his call to enact financial legis- > lat ion. The tariff reformers contend ed in vain that the tariff should have preference. The silver men, when Air. Cleveland's recommendation appeared, asserted openly that they had been be trayed. The highways and byways were presently full of unemployed men. And so the democratic party practically went to pieces and the ad- j ministration was a failure. Again there is a Cleveland boom, > says the Washington Star, and Wall j street is behind it. The democrat in | party has never shouted more lustily for free silver than it has against the s. s. The southern men in particu lar have made Wall street and its mo nopolistic operations their text for many years. Wiil they go over to the Wall street candidate now, upon the assurance that Mr. Cleveland "will do the fair thing by them" jr. the matter of their old contention? Put forward ; by tii' trusts, and elected by them, j would not Mr. Cleveland follow their , suggestions and serve their interests j in all things affecting them? We may i be certain that ho would.

GRADE THE CRACKED CORN, It Pays to Do This Wherever a Largo Number of Hens and Chicks Is Kept. feeding dry cracked corn to poul try much of the very fine is wasted un less it is sifted more thoroughly than is usually the case when brought from the mill, and often it is impossible to get the sizes wanted for feeding from the finely crackeu for little chicks to very coase cracked for fowls and pig eons. This led me to arrange a sort of grader. 1 made a hopper large enough to hold a hundredweight or so of cracked corn, with a shut-off in bottom so as to regulate the flow of grain, then with three sizes of galvanized wire net ting I made screens about one foot HOMEMADE SC'KEEXER. wide by six feet long. The hopper was placed up at the head of the granary stairway with the screens underneath in such a manner that when the cracked corn is allowed to run slowly from the hopper it grades nicely into three sizes of cracked corn, besides the fine meal, which would goto waste if scattered on the ground for the poultry, and anyone would be surprised at the amount of this meal saved even from the best sifted cracked corn. The size of screens may be arranged to suit each user. I use No. 4 for top or coarsest as I want it as coarse as possible for pigeons; No. G for second, and No. 12 for nitsf. These sizes if set at an angle that the corn will run down nicely without requiring any shaking to pre vent lodging, will give nice grades of cracked corn. The more upright the grader is placed the more fine will be left in the coarser grades, and the less thoroughly will it be sifted. This has saved me many times its cost in the meal saved alone, aside from the con venience of having the s'.'.e cracked wanted for the different birds. At times when feeding largely on cracked corn I have saved enough meal to feed two cows.—Rural New Yorker. ENTRANCE TO THE BEEHIVE It Should Be Large Enough to Allo-^ Ventilation and Plenty of "Elbow" Space. Common opinion holds that the low er part of the hive is the proper place for the entrance as it protects th'; brood nest and at the same time gives the bees a better chance to clean their hive of capping refuse and dead bees and to keep their house in general or der. Some argue that the entrance should be near the top of the hive, thus giving bees a short cut to the combs, but on the other hand you are giving the cold air a chance to get to broo.l cluster, and this will bring about bad results. The size of the entrance should be ample and not too small. During the rush of the honey season the writer uses a space 3x% inches, and during very warm weather raises hives one-quarter inch in front by means of wedges. This allows ventilation and plenty of space for all requirements during warm spring days. When rob bers are apt to cause trouble close up the entrance, allowing only about enough space for two bees to enter at cnce. Of course your strong swarms will take care of themselves, but by doing this with your light ones you will save much trouble. —G. ii. Towns end, in Ohio Farmer. LITTLE NOTES AEOUT PiCS. The pig is a clean, healthy animal when it has a chance. Usually a hog with harsh bristles has a coarse and thick skin. The fattening hogs should have all the grain they will eat up clean. While hogs should have plenty of water, it should be pure and fresh. To securj choice pigs, the selection of the male is of the first importance. A cross sow is a dangerous animal to have around, anil riiouici be made fat and shipped at the earliest opportuni ty, In selecting a young animal for breeding purposes, one with a gentle ar.d tractable disposition should be chosen. —Midland Farmer. Importance of Potatoes. An acre planted to potatoes will yield more than ten times as much food material as when planted to wheat; II times more than rye or 17 times more than pens. The value of this crop appears to be very largely disre garded by farmers in this country. In Germany the yield per acre is two or three times as great and the total prod uct six times as great. Besides con suming much more per capita than we do, the Germans use them for such manufactured products as starch, glu cose and alcohol. The real resources of the potato should be more fallex ploited in this country. SUFFICIENT IDENTIFICATION. Woman After Pension Gives Personal Peculiarities of Her Sol dier Father. !

On a muster roll ! of the latter war nhe found a name that corresponded with that of her father, but j did not furnish Mr. Cowherd any posi tive means of identification.
