It is said that the first present given by the young Duke to his bride after their homecoming was one of these spaniels.

THE ILLS OF WOMEN And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps Overcome Them. Mrs. Mart Bollinger, 1101 Marianna St, Chicago, III., to Mrs. Pinkham: " I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, pains over my body, sick headaches, backache, nervousness and weakness. I tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com pound, the relief I obtained was truly wonderful. I have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that I am entirely cured." Mrs. Henby Dobr, No. 80GFindley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham : "For a long time I suffered with chronio inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and bo weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhoea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, I had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Com pound was doing. 1 decided immedi ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feel like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to than!: for my recovery, for which I am grate ful. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex." IVillll HUll l.NO TOADVTd. y YNU-8 1. Try Grain0 !

It is heavy work pitching manure all day, aud is especially so if it has to be done into a high wagon box. A low truck wagon with box not higher thau the wheels of an ordinary wagon will do the work of drawing mauure much better thnu will the wagons used for marketing. Such a wagon almost any farmer can have cheaply made, if he has old wheels whose hubs are good, but which canuot be made strong enough to bear up when long spokes are used. The low wagon cau be used for years after it is cut down for a truck wagon. It will be all the better, however, if the outer rim is made wider and is enclosed iu a broad tire, so that the wheel will not siuk down when going over the laud. Tare of the Farm Team. At this time of year the farm should be iu the very best condition to stand the hard work tho horses will becalled upon to perform. ' A great many farm teams, through improper treatment and feeding, are not able to meet the ex pectations of their owners. Horses that have been kept in foul stables dnring the winter, with little or no exercise, and fed on improper food, will not be iu good condition to stand the sudden strain of hard work. They should be provided with clean, well-ventilated stables, fed a good wholesome, well-balanced Tation, watered often and regularly, make the acquaiutuuee of a good 'currycomb and brush, allowed to exercise every day iu on open lot aud worked moderately at first, gradually increasing the food as the work increases. See that the harness is iu good re pair and well oiled. Take the first rainy day to go over them, repairing all broken or weak parts; wash thor oughly, dry and apply a good coat of oil, rubbing it in thoroughly. Always keep the harness clean and soft, especially on the inside of the collar. The perspiration, if allowed to accu mulate, will cause irritation aud pro duce galls. The collar should fit closely, allowiug just room enough at the bottom to insert the hand. If it is too short it will obstruct breathing aud choke the horse down. If it is too long or too wide, it will cramp and draw the skin, producing sores or knots. Tools should be kept sharp and well oiled, as this, besides other advan tages, will lessen the draft on the horses. And last, but not least, treat your horses with the kindness due such an obedient aud faithful servant. A team that is treated well and talked to kind ly will do more and better work than if treated harshly. Lew Core, in the Epitomist. Sugar Reeta as Cattle Food. The indirect benefit to the farmers of having a beet-sugar factory estab lished iu the neighborhood is fre quently overlooked. The food value of beets is something that must be considered, and where a factory is lo cated stock-raising cau be conducted on a much larger aud cheaper scale. The sugnr beets are superior to man gels, turnips, rutabagas and carrots; and sheep and milch cows not only like them, but they thrive ou them. A dairy located near a beet-sugar factory should receive a new impetus that ought to increase its profits ten per cent. The beet pulp loses only sugar in the process of extraction, aud it is nearly as nutritions as corn en silage. The pulp can be kept in the silo just as well as corn, and for win ter feeding it is unexcelled. It is bet ter than corn in some respects. It has a distinct influence upon tho di gestive organs of the animals that helps to keep them in good condition in the winter wheu grass and succu lent food are scarce. Farmers can thus mnke dairying aud cattle-raising a success while they raise the beets for the factories. The two industries should go hand in baud. The establishment of more beet factories throughout the country will thus in tin end help greatly to solve the problem of winter feeding, A winter diet of 100 to 125 pounds of beet pulp and fifteen pounds of hay a day gives better results with milch cows, cattle aud sheep than almost any other form of food. 1 lie animals fatten ou it aud gain in health and strength right through 1h 3 winter The beet pulp keeps the bowels open and prevents costiveness in both cattle aud sheep. Other roots can bo grown more cheoply thau sugar beets, and when there is no factory to take the suarar beets it pfijs lj rn'ma some of t!ie cheaper roots. But when the sugar beets can be sold and the pulp brought hauk at a small sum, it is certaiu that there is no crop that will return more money for the trouble and outlay than sugar beets. E. P. Smith, in Wis consin Agriculturist. The Klght Way to Set Fruit Trees. B. A. Wood, of Michigan, says: When any kiud of a plaut has its roots expoaed, it is sure to suffer loss of vitality by evaporation. These should bo kept covered with damp straw or cloth, and if to be kept sev eral days beforo setting, placed in a cool place. Trees sometimes arrive iu a rhriveled condition, caused by delay in shipment or transportation These should be immediately placed horizontally in a trench and covered with puddled earth and nllowed to re main for several days. If tho bl anches are still shriv;lod, they are worthless. They should bo plump when removed. Bomovu all bruised and injured roots with a aharp knife or pruning shears. Also cut off all fibrous root lets, as new growth starts from the large roots. Cut back the top quite severely, the peach to a whip ami the pear and apple to three or four short brauclien equally distributed around the trunk and not more than three feet fr.mi the ground. The branches should not exceed the roots in Itucth aui uujulitv. 'Dig a hole large enough to admit tho roots iu a natural position. In the ceuter of the hole place a small amount of earth. On this set the tree and gently press it into the earth. This insures suffi cient soil among the roots to prevent auy open space. It is these open spaces which often cause the death of a tree. Pack the soil above the roots as fast as it is filled iu, leaving the upper three inches loose to act as a mulch to preserve moisture. It is best to set the trees a little deeper than they stood in the nursery. This place may be known by the dif ference in color of the bark. It is customary to set a tree as near verti cal as possible, but I have learned that it should be set so as to leau slightly toward the directum of the prevailing winds, then as the tree grows, it gradually straightens and at maturity is able to maintain that posi tion. A tree should never be mulched the first year, as it will cause the roots to grow near the surface. There is nothing better than froqueut and shallow cultivation to conserve mois ture and promote new growth. It is better to grow some cultivated crop among the trees than to allow the ground t3 become occupied by weeds and grass, but all seeds should not be planted closer than four feet to the tree. Careful attention should be given the new growth, cutting back any branches which are growing out of proportion to the others, keepiug the top as nearly balanced as possi ble. Rub off all shoots ou the truuk which are not needed for main branches. Fire In Coal Cargoes. At a meeting in September last F. M. Syme addressed the Insurance In stitute of Victoria on the subject of "Causes of Fire," nnd gave some very interesting information with regard to what is commonly known as "the spontaneous combustion of coal car goes." This phenomenon, by which many good ships have been destroyed, 'was at one time attributed either to the oxidatiou of iron pyrites, an im parity always present in coal, or to the influence of moisture. Experi ment has shown that both these the ories were unteuable, and it is now believed that this mischief is due to the chemical action set up by the -absorption in the coal of atmospherio oxygeu. Large coal, where the pro portion of surface to bulk is compara tively small, is the safest, and any heat that may be evolved is rapidly carried off by the air spaces between the lumps. But, owing to tho rough manner iu which coals are generally dumped into a ship's hold, the coal is broken up into fragmeuts, and it is prepared, as it were, for spontaneous combustion. It is found, moreover, that the fire invariably begins just below the hatchway, where a cone of broken coal is formed by this rough method of loading. It has also been ascertained that a large bulk of coal is more liable to combustion than a small one, and that loading during a high summer temperature has a direct bearing upon the liability of coal ships to this form of accident. Chambers Journal. FACTS ABOUT. TORPEDOES. Various Tlilnea Which Influence Tholt Action and Thetr Form. Torpedoes are divided into two gen eral classes stationary and movable. The former consist of the buoyant and ground mine, while the latter class is sub-divided into the automobile and dirigible. These terms have been narrowed, until now the fixed class is generally known as the submarine mine, while the word torpedo is ap plied to the movable class. The buoy ant mines are exploded in contact with or very close to the bottom or sides of a vessel under water, while the ground mine acts at a much greater distance. All mines are divided into othei classes, which depend for their nom enclature as to whether or not it is under the control of an operator. In all cases the controlling agent is elec tricity. The depth of water iu a harbor hati much to do with the form of torpedo used, and in channels where there is less than thirty feet at high tido the mine case, which rests on the bottom, has the shape of the segiteut of a sphere with a flat bottom. The elec trical apparatus is attached to a buoy, anchored to the case and submerged four feet. The explosive charge is generally about 250 pounds of dyna mite or wet gnu cotton. The buoyant mine is a hollow sphere, constructed of steel, having a ring at the top for handling, aud directly opposite a hole for loading and inserting the electrical apparatus. Over this is fitted a cap for attaching the mooring chain and cable. It is generally submerged about four feet below low water, and the explosive charge is 100 pounds of dynamite or wet gun cotton. A mush room auchor holds the mine iu posi tion. Another form of sub-marine mine is one. which will explode by contact with a ship's bottom; but as these are daugerous both to friend or foe, they are now seldom used in any scheme for defense. Collier's Weekly. Great Britain's Steam Power. It is estimated that the steam powei of Great Britain is equal to the united strength of 1,00'),000,()00 men. The number of persons employed in hei coal mines is but 200,000, and of these fully two-thirds dig coal for other uses thau for engines, leaving tifl.fifirj men to mine the coal necessary to do the work of 1.000,000,000.

Exnotly what is the ailon of alcohol on the human organism? The following ro. ply is from "Drunkennes"," a book pub lished in 1S9J by Oeorgo 11. Wilson, M. D., tli i'U assistant Iu a large asylum iu Edin burgh, and later placed at tho head of n costly and truly scientific experiment, tt. ascerlalu what prospect there is that chronic alcoholism cau bo cured. The process of iutoxicatlou he dcscrllies thus: "If a man drink a considerable quantity of an alcoholic liquor, a large amount of the alcohol passes unchanged through the bodily system as such. Tho alcohol min gles with his blood, nnd is carried with it through every part of the body, to that, if he die soon after drinking, It may be found Iu all the largo organs. This Is notably fit" case with tho liver, but most of all with the nervous system. A kind of 'elec tive aflluity' seems to exist betwoea bralu tissue and alcohol; and It Is on this account that we regard drunkenness as essentially a nervous afToeitlon. Before the general narcotic effect Is brought about It has a primary selective action on the nerve cen tres which regulnto tho blood supply of tho nervous system. This Immediate re sult of alcohol is called 'stimulation,' and occurs, for tho most part, before the alco hoi has been long in contact with the brain tissue. It is an established fact that alcohol interferes with the function of tbo blood, so altering Its character as to Im pede aeration of the tissues nnd the repair of waste. The brnin shares with the other organs In this detect of nutrition. The action Induced in the brain Is of the nature of a progressive paralysis. Moral qualities and the higher processes of Intelligence are therefore, first Invaded. 8elf-coutrol Is lost ami Judgment defective; at a later stage with the abolition of imagination, feeling and will, the man becomes stupid, dull nnd passive." Disuse of Alcohol In DUeaae. Intelligent physicians have long ques tioned the propriety of the use of alcohol in the treatment of disease. Time was when It was prescribed freely for many of the ills which flesh is heir to, but the evils resulting from the appetite (or It that was frequently engendered by its use as a curative led to investigations which have resulted very l.irgely iu its dieuse, other remedies proving more efficacious in most of the cases, while many able physicians maintain that other and better remedies may be found in every cine where alcohol was formerly used. The annual report of President William T. Wnrdwell, o( the New York lied Cross Hospital and Training Hchool (or ited Cross bisters, quoted in the Baltimore Hun, pre sents some facts of general Interest upon this subject. He says It has been tbo prac tice in the hospitnl from Its foundation to avoid the use of alcohol iu surgical cases as well as In ensesof disease. "The medical and surgical staff," he says, "have in no case administered alcohol in any of Its forms, nnd tbo treatment has been abso lutely non-alcoholic," with the result to convince the trustees of the wisdom of uh treatment, nnd to justify them, after four years of experience, in declaring thoir "firm conviction that such trentmeut is to bnvcan important and permanent Influence upon tho future of surgical and medical science, and tlmt a hospital conducted upon this system is a rapidly growing necessity." Trenton (X. J.) American. Ravages of Drink Among Women. The Mouitor, of Ban Francisco, recently spoke as follows on the subject of the saloon: "Now and again some se national occurrcnci) draws our attontlou to the fact that tho ravages of drink among women are far greater thau we suspect. There Ix a certaiu disinclination to touch this subject, but wo are coming to the con clusion that an exposure of the drinking habits of women is absolutely necessary. The side entrances of the saloons In this city aro froquented by crowds of girls boarlng respectablo nnmes aud apparently walking in the paths of righteousness. Mothers are too careless about their daugh ters. When the scandal does come the blame is only too often to bo laid at the door of parents lovcMind or lazy." Some of the Hanger of Alcohol. Spnniliig of alcoholism In women, Dr. 4?' nos Sparks says that, used as a factor to spur flnggicg energy, It is extremely dangerous, because It registers its reception each time on the delicate nerves nnd is apt to form a habit in tills wuy that cannot be broken without pnl ii and trouble. Inebriety from a fondness for alcohol Is hardly ever found in women; its orlglu usually lies, sho says, in perturbed physical conditions. Women are cured more easily than men, she declares, and hypnotism Is one of the best agents la all of the advanced stages. "Let alcohol alone," Is the medi cal woman's advice to her sisters; "It will do yon no good, as it gives only temporary ami false relief, and will do you much harm by leaving real and lasting effects." Why "Solid Comfort" U Larking. No wonder our laboring classes lack "solid comfort." exclaims one of our ex change, when it is shown that millions of dollars nro spent yearly In this country for liquor. The working man simply denies his family tho comforts of life by paying an unnecessary tribute to the saloon, keeper. Temperance News anil Note.

The following story can be vonched for, and, in recognition of the timely action of the dog, the Alliauce Assur ance Company, with whom the prem ises were insured, have awarded a sil ver medal to Zulu, fully realizing his sagacity iu preventing what would otherwise have been a disastrous file, with considerable dauger to the oc cupiers of the house. Zulu, who ileepa in the basement of a large house iu fashionable quar ter of one of our largest cities, was early one Sunday morning lately roused by au outbreak of fire, which had apparently been smouldering for some time between the floor of the dining-room and the ceiling of the room below. He, after repeatedly scratching at the bedroom door ol one of the servauts, succeeded in waking her. Thinking the dog must bo unwell, she let him into her room, and got into bed again, but was uot allowed to sleep, as Zulu, sitting close by her bedside, kept "talking" to her as Bhe describes it) so vigorously thnt she suspected something must be wroug. Ou getting up the dog appeared so delighted that she followed him out of the room, and on looking into one of tho rooms discovered the ceiling burning. fpou rousiug the owner of the house, who immediately had the fire alarm rung (which was fortunately close at hand), Zulu seeming to know ho had done his duty, rushed upstairs to his mistress and left the house with the children, evidently satisfied that he had fulfilled his part. On the fire brigade's arrival it was found that the fire had taken serious hold, aud only required more air (which would havo been given iu auother ten minutes by the collapse of the hearthstone, etc.) to burst into full flame iu several places. The damage by heat aud smoke was very great, aud had air been admitted nothing could have saved the entire dwelling, as tho joists between the flooriug were burn ing from end to end of the room.
