511ms I.ulu Htnvens, ilniiRhter of George
fitevcus, tho well-known blacksmith, of On.i
port, Ningnrn County, Now York, linn pur
prised her neighbors considerably, by not
dying five month iko, when the, physicians
said sho could not live.
This was quite n remnrknhlo rase. Tho
young womnn, who Is vorv woll known, on
account of her musical nblllty. had been a
very healthy girl, until about nun year ago,
when she began to fall, ami grew so pale
and apparently bloodless and so weak that
after a few months she was given up to dlo.
Lant winter a physician who was a visitor
ai ttaspon met .miss utevens nml seeing
her emaciated condition nnd hearing from
tho local doctors that tho disease was an
aemia, prevailed on the girl's mother to
make her try lr. Williams' link Tills.
Directly she commenced the treatment she
began to mend, nnd now since February,
when she derided to take them, she has li
come well ami strong nnd the picture of
good henlth. The mother of the girl, Mrs,
Mevens, says: "Everyone In Oasport knows
that l'ink l'llls cured Lulu, and I feel very
thankful that we heard of them lu linio to
save my child's life."
lr. Williams' l'ink Tills contain, in neon
doused form, nil the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to tho blood and
restore shattered nerves. Tbey nro also a
speclllc for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the blood,
and restore the plow of' health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical
euro in all enses arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
Tlnk Tills are sold in boxes (never in loose

To all women who are ill: It af
fords ne great pleasure to tell you of
the benefit I have derived from talc
ing Lydia E. l'inkiiain's Vegetable
Compound. I can hardly find words to

tried three phy
sicians and gradually grew worse.
About a year ago I was advised by a
friend to try Mrs. l'iulchum's Sanative
Wash and Vegetable Compound, which
I did. After using three bottles of
the Vegetable Compound and one pack
age of Sanative Wash, I am now enjoy
ing better health than I ever did, and
attribute the same to your wonderful
remedies. I cannot find words to ex
press what a Ciudsend they have been
to me.
Whenever I begin tofeelnervousand
ill, 1 know 1 have a never-failing phy

pleasure to know that my words hud
directed some suffering sister to health
and strength through those most ex

Women ami "Life Insurance.
It is not so very many rears ago that
certain life insurance companies re
fused to issue policies upon tho lives of
women, 'llie dilhculties iu tho way of
a satisfactory examination, the perils
of maternity and tho numerous nervous
disorders to which the sex is liable,
wero considered sufficient reasons to
pntthem on the prohibited list Exper
ience has, however, demonstrated that
tho views of theso companies were not
based upon facts. As a matter of fact, J
whatever advantage there is in the
matter of longevity lies with women,
aud not with men. In 1891 a census
was taken in London among twenty
one centenarians, of whom sixteen
were women and tivo were men. A
group of the Southern countries of Eng
Inud nt the same census exhibited sixty
six centenarians, of whom fortv-thrce
were women and twenty-three were men.
A census of centenarians taken iu
Frauce in 1805 showed 213 persons who
had attained tho ngo of one hundred,
and of these 213, 117 were women and
only 60 were men. Tho United States
census of 1800 gave 3981 persons who
had reached one hundred years nnd
upwnrd, and of these 2383 were women
and 1398 men. Women are much less
exposed to death from the multitud
inous accidents incident to the pur
suits of meu. They escape not only
the perils of hunting and rough ont-of
door sports that overtake many men,
but are comparatively exempt from the
devastating effects of tho excessive use
of alcohol, which is the indirect, if not
the direct, cause of tho early death of
a largo percentage of the other sex. In
addition to all the various causes ot
death from which the more sheltered
lives of women protect them, they are
almost entirely free from business
worries and troubles, which bring in
their train tho innumerable nervous
disorders that undermine nnd destroy
the constitutions of so many city men.

LlcUt-Welght Cloth Gowns.
After wearing thin muslins aud silks,
a cloth gown, if the day be cool, looks
very smart and "trim," and much more
finished thun the thin gowns, so all
complete summer outfits include two
or more costumes of this description.
A charming gown intended for cool
days at Newport, and for Lenox later
on, is of tan cloth a light golden
brown. Across the top of the front
breadth is a deep pattern of braiding,
which extends over the hips aud nar
rows to a point at the back, where
the fulness of the skirt is laid in deep
turned-under plaits. On the side of
the back breadths is also braiding,
which extends from the belt to the
hem. This braiding is in gold and
tan. The waist is a casaque with an
exaggeratedly short frill, and is amass
of braiding. HulHes of cream lace
show between the fronts of the jack
et, and the belt and turned-over collar
are of black satiu. Another gown,
which, to use a tailor's expression, is
'"built on the same lines," is of bright
blue smooth cloth with braiding of
black and silver, but the waist is a
short jacket with wide turned-over
collar and pointed reveiyj of white
cloth. It is claimed this white cloth
can be cleaned by some preparation of
pipe-cluy, and it is tho same material
that is used for military uniforms.
The white facings against the blue are
most effective, aud make the gown
very smart.
In royal purple a charming costume
is madd with tho skirt trimmed with
many rows of black bruid of different
widths, aud tho jacket, which is tight
fittiug, is also braided. The fronts of
j ...j..-. i.o nut met,,, i.ad uro liu
ished with rows of round gilt buttons,
ovor which are placed lacings whiuh
hold the jacket together J aud yet re
veal a glimpso of a purple aud white

A light gruy potdiu is mudo oa must
charming lines. The skirt, which has
nve gores, uaseacu team outlined with
a nil lino- of white aatin- t)i iv.,i ;u

hitfh brim and narrow eruwu trimmx,
with a bunch of white ostrich tips and
wune sunn riiiiiou; bonnet smugs

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Turnip Flavors In Milk.
When cows accidentally get into
turnip patch, or other vegetables that
impart a bad flavor to the milk, it can
be made ns good as ever for cream and
butter making if it is heated to a tern
peratnre of 140 degrees. This is bent
done by placing the vessel in water
which is quickly brought to a slightly
higher temperature. All the odor
passes off nt this temperature, as it is
very volatile. In cooling, the cream
will rise to tho surfaoe. It also makes
tho butter come more quickly than
from milk not heated.
No Halting- After Harvest.
Under old methods of harvesting the
steel rake was a very important adjunct
to socure scattered grain. Yet even in
those days good farmers did not find
those Takings very valuable, as they
were always stained and often nearly
ready to sprout by alternnto wet and
dry weather. The now harvesters
loavo no rakings, and as what would
otherwise be wasted is thus saved for
market, it'mnkes a material addition to
tho crop. We know farmers who used
to thresh the rakiugs separately and
grind them for hog feed rather than
mix th stained with tho marketable
grain.
Alfalfa lteplnrinK Cora,
It is notlikely that alfalfa, the clover
which has succeeded so well in Pali.
fornia will ever become plentiful in the
East. Our wet winters will rot the roots
or at least decrease their vigor. On
very dry, saudy or gravelly soil it might
succeed here. But it seems to be
especially adapted to hot and dry
climates, and hence its success in the
arid regions of the fur Wost. As its
root ofton goes several feet deep it is
likely to change tho charactor of the
climate, for wherover alfalfa roots

alfalfa retains its greenness duriug

Delayed Hatching of Eggs,
Three weeks is the time usually al.
lowod for a hen to sit before her eggs
are natcnea. Uut in spring, when the
fowls are in good health and the eggs
make the most vigorous chicks, hatch
ing will generally begin on the twen
tieth day, and by the twenty-first the
entire brood may be out. Eggs kept
two or threo weeks bofore boiug set
will not hatch bofore the twenty-first
day. Late iu the season twenty-two
or even twenty-three days may pass
bofore all the eggs will hatch. If left
longer than this it is probable that the
chick has died in the sholl. It is very
easy after the twentieth day of sitting
to know whether tho egg contains a
live chick, as its pecking may be heard
against the shell. Moisten the egg
shell with quite warm water, but do
not take that which has been boiled.
It had better be sprayed on the egg,
which should afterwards be wiped dry
and placed under the hen. Tho water
sprayed on supplies the chick with
some air, and it also softons the shell
for it to peck at. The egg is porous.
If it were not, clacks would always die
in the shell. When an e gg breaks iu
the nest, all tho other eggs should be
washed iu tepid water aud rubbed dry,
so as to remove the albumen from the
broken egg. As this albumen closes
tho pores of the shell it quickly
smothers and kills all the chicks they
contain. It may do this if it is on the
shell only a very short time. Ameri

Will Bees Destroy Grapes?
There is a great difference of opin
ion among well informed fruit grow
ers, writes Professor J. Troop, of In
diana, as to whether the honey bee
actually destroys ripe grapes without
any assistance. Iu order to secure
reliable data on this question, some
careful observations wore made duriug
the past season. A Worden grapevine
was selected, and when the fruit was
ripe all defective berries and surplus
leaves were removed, so as to allow
the bees free movement and give them
every facility for work. A colony of
Italian bees was then placed close to
the vine, and both vine and hive en
closed with mosquito netting, giving
the Aiees abont 300 cubio foot of space
in wOth to work. At first they did
not take kindly to the confinement.
but after the first few days did not
seem to mind it. They were kept
confined with the grapes just three
weeks, and during this time they were
not allowed to get auy other food ex
cept what they already had iu the
hive. At the end of tho three weeks
they were removed aud tho grapes
carefully examined, but it could not
be discovered that a single grapo had
been injured. The natural iuferenoo
is, that' if the bees could not be in
duced to eat the grapes when kept iu
close confinement with them, they are
not liable to do much iujury when at
liberty to seek the food they like best.
It is woll known that certain wasps
will out tho skiu of grapes, ond I have
always held to tho opinion that the
wasp was the culprit which opens tin
door for the bees to enter. Thin
opinion has been confirmed tho pas!
season, when two species of the genus
l'olistes, or sooial wasps, were seen to
light on tho grupes aud with their
sharp jaws tear open the skin and suck
the jnioe. After which the houey
bees would usually finish the work.
In fact, it would be a very stupid ben
that would not avail itself of such an
opportunity.
An Amusing Tank Drains.

Klrst l'resliyterlan Church at KaratoKa.
ltishon John V. Newman, of the Methodist
Church, delivered n iliscourso on "The
Waste of Intemieranoe." Ha said that
while tho United States should ho tho pur
est, happiest and richest nation ou tho facs
of the Khihe, vet the wastn of material,
mental and mural power, through tho un
wise and Inordinate use of wluo and lliHor,
was tremendous, lie cited a multitude ot
facts anil llguros In proof of this view of
tho subject. These statistics show that
while twenty leading necessaries ,( life
including articles of food, clothing and
transportation, cist tho people ..f this
country annually a billion of dollars, in the
tho manufacture or preparation of which
there aro employed 874,000 persons, whose
aggrcgato wages amount to H64.OIHI.0OO,
yet tho liquor bill or the Nation equalled
tho same grand total a billion dollars
this traflle requiring tho employment ot
H000 persons, who received over 150.000,000.
Tho statisticians, ho said, estimated thnt
while tho churches of all denominations In
this country cost for all purposes only
150.000.000, tho drink habit, including the
expenses nnd results, such ns erimo nnd
pauperism, amounted to tho colossal sum
of 1.HOO,000,000, a ratio of twelve to ouo
1 12 for drink and 1 fur religion.
Tho Ill-hop. In considering the eradica
tion of tho evil, counseled wisdom and
noderntion Instead of Inconsiderate and
lucoin promising denunciation. There were
Ihroo concessions, ho said, which temoer.
lueo advocates wero bound to make
namely, that while wines and liquors were
pot Indispensable in tho welfare of man
kind, they, nevertheless, had their legill
tniito uses; that the occasional drinking of
wines and liquors was not drunkenness as
.lenounood in tho lllhlo, and that whllo It
was true that all contlrmod drunkards were
oneo moderate drinkers, yet all moderate
drinkers did not become confirmed drunk
ards. In conclusion, the bishop said that
while some peoplo favored high licenses,
some local option nnd others prohibition!
ho beliovod thnt what was most needed la
n.11 classes, Trom tho highest to tho lowest,
was magnanimity born of seli-denlnl,
which would create an apprehension ol
danger that would make tho custom ol

Ilciiiftmbrred For What Ilo Had Done.
A poor victim of Intemperance In his last
moments was visited by a neighbor of hit
who had furnished him tho rum which
brought hi in to ruin and a drunknrd's
grave, who asked hltn whether bo remem
bered him. Tho dying man, forgetting his
struggle with tho king of terrors, gald,
"les, I remember you, nnd I remember
your store, where 1 formed tho habit which
has ruined mo tor this world and the next.
And when I am dead and gone, and you
come and take from uiy widow and father
less children tho shattered remains of my
property to pay uiy drink debta, they, too
will remember you." Aud ho added as
they both attended the same church, "Yes,
brother, wo shall all remember you, to all'
eternity." Aud ho might have added, "You
too, will remember them, nnd will romem
uer what you did for the sake of money, to
bring their husband and father to the
drunkard's grave, aud to tako from the
widow aud fatherless not Ulerclv property,
but that which no wealth can pu'rehaso and
which whon taken no power on earth can
restore." And. wo nilirht add. h n will rib.

guilty, wrotohed author of mischief which
eternity cannot repair, and which may

The late Kir Andrew Clark, tho emlnout

I do not say that seventy inovery 100 are

t-rugoa among primitive ruces previous to

The Blue and the Gray.
Both meu and women are apt to fool a little
blue, when the gray hairs begin to Bhow. It's
a very natural feoling. In the normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanoed age.
Thoy have no business whitening the head of
man or woman, who has not begun to go
down tho slope of life. As a matter of fact,
the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of
life's seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by
eicknoss, but more often from lack of care.
When the hair fades or turns gray there's no
need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color
of the hair is restored and retained by the use of
