Hawks and Grasshoppers.
During the past few weeks sports
men in the vicinity of Clayton, New
Mexico, have been enjoying a novel
recreation. About a month ago
grasshoppers made their appearance
in the vegas, and soon became so thick
as to threaten utter destruction of the
grass. A few weeks ago, however,
hawks of the common chicken hawk
variety began coming in great flocks,
and in a short time literally covered
the country, living solely on grass
hoppers, as a result of which the lat
ter soon disappeared. Then the
hawks became a nuisance, and turned
their destructive talents to chickens,
cjuail, etc Hunting parties were or
ganized aud began killing hawks.
Hawks were so numerous that the
poorest marksman conld easily kill
several dozen iu a few hours. After
thousands of the hawks had been
killed they abandoned the country
more suddenly than they appeared.

MRS. LUCY GOODW
Suffered four years with female Iron
.bles. She now writes to Mrs. Pinkham
of her complete recovery. Read her
letter:
Dear Mrs. Pixkham: I wish you to
publish what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound,- Sanative Wash
and Liver Pills
have done for
me.
I suffered
for four years
Iwith womb
trouble. My
doctor said I
had falling of
the womb. I
also suffered
with nervous
prostration, faint,
all-gone feelings, palpita
tion of the heart, bearing-down sensa
tion and painful menstruation. I could
not stand but a few minutes at a time.
When I commenced taking your med
icine I could not sit up half a day, but
before I had used half a bottle I was
up and helped about my work.
I have taken three bottles of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
used one package of Sanative Wash,
and am cured of all my troubles. I feel
like a new woman. I can do all kinds
of housework and feel stronger than I
ever did in my life. I now weigh 131f
pounds. Before using your medicine I
weighed only 108 pounds.
Surely it is the grandest medicine for
weak woman that ever was, and my
advice to all who are suffering from
any female trouble is to try it at once
and be well. Your medicine has
proven a blessing to me, and I cannot
praise it enough. Mrs. LlTCT Goodwin,

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS'
Products of Wild Land.
Aside from its crop of trees with
which uncultivated land is mostly
covered, it also produces nuts, berries
and other fruits which are always in
their season to be found in city mar
kets. The whortleberry and its near
relative, the huckleberry, are always
grown wild, as they need just the
dampness and shade that they find
in forest and low, wild land. But the
wild blackberries and raspberries still
constitute a considerable portion of
the fruit sold in city markets. In
most cases this self-grown fruit is re
garded as the property of whoever
wishes to gather it. The huckleberry
patches are, however, often reserved
by owners of the land, and those wish
ing the frnit must pay for it, or, as is
usually done, dividing it after it is
picked.
A Few rolnts to Know.
Charcoal is excellent for poultry; so
is corn burned or charred on the ear.
One way to get a yellow yolk is to
take beets or carrots, cook them for
the fowls, feed them, and in two days
there will be a change; the yolks will
be as yellow as desired. One of the
most important things in feeding
poultry, yet too often neglected, is
a supply of good, pure driuking
water, and a fowl drinks every ten or
fifteen minutes in warm weather. Im
pure water is one of the most fruitful
sources of disease. Cholera, for in
stance, is in all probability, due often
to the drinking of water that is
not pure. Snow water will reduce
flesh as rapidly as a Bharp attaok of
diarrhoea. The best thing is to have
a stream of rnnning water. A few
rusty nails in the water are good, or a
few drops of tincture of iron every
other day. The vessels mast be kept
clean, and water should be warmed in
winter for fowls, or it will chill them,
but in summer it should bo cool.
Apples For Cooking.
There are many sour apples that
contain more saccharine matter than
those that are called "sweet" only be
cause they lack acidity. And there is
some malio acid in the varieties that
are called sweet. It is the combina
tion of sweet with acidity that makes
the richest and best flavored apples
either for eating raw or for cooking.
Commonly, only those that are very
distinctly acid have a good flavor when
cooked, and they should be aoid
enough to require considerable sugar
in cooking. Yet, when the country
was new, sugar was much dearer than
it is now, and to save sugar the sweet
and soar apples were sometimes made
into pies together. This was, how
ever, a poor substitute for sugar, as
the sweet apples would not cook
through so quickly as the sour, and
remained hard and nearly tasteless
lumps in the pie. There were some
kinds of native frnit apples that never
were propagated in nurseries that
were neither wholly sweet nor wholly
onr, bat snoh a combination of both
that they would make very good pies
ithout sweetening of any kind.
Bonev Selling With Profit.
The apiarist who has but little
honey for sale will find it much more
profitable to arrange with some live
grocer in a neighboring town to han
dle his product on commission than to
ship to commission men in large cities.
It is preferable, however, to work up
a retail trade of your own, which may
be readily done by the use of small
sample boxes. In the spring get Borne
sections holding a quarter of a pound
of honey and set them on the hives;
when thny are filled label them and
distribute them among the best fam
ilies of your nearest town. Follow
this up a week later by taking orders,
and if your samples were up to the
mark you will have no trouble in get
ting advance orders for all the honey
you will have fcr sale. It will be a
comparatively easy matter to add to
the trade another year, and you will
soon find yon have built np a pleasant
and profitable business. The farmer
who can successfully produce enongh
honey for the nse of his own house
hold is well fitted to go into the busi
ness on a much larger scale.
Why Is Poultry Valuable to the Farmer?
Professor Gilbert, of Ottawa, an
swers this question in the following
manner and his conclusions caunot
be questioned:
1. Because he ought by their means
to convert a good deal of the waste ol
bis farm into money in the shape of
eggs and chickens for the market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment, they ought to be all year revenue
producers, with the exception of per
haps two months, during the moulting
period.
3. Becanse poultry will yield him a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any of the other departments of
agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves, if allowed to ran in plum or
apple orchards, will destroy all injuri
ous insect life.
5. Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in cer
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parti
of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an em
ployment in which the farmer's wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend to other depart
ments. v
7. Because it will bring the best re
turns in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winter season when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising
on the farm requires little or no capi
tal. Under any circumstances, with
proper management poultry can ht
made, with little cost, a valuable ad
junct to the farm. Farmer and

Though his call might be unheeded, and
ne knew that his time was gold;
He had caught disaster's warning, and
swiftly did rescue plan.
For he had the heart ot a hero to cherish
his fellow-man.
A wave-washed hulk was floating on the

And lot 'mid the broken rafters, lay a

"The Pace That Kills."
The terrible effects of the drink habit
when practiced amid the glamour of city
life is shown In a striking article on New
York's greatest maelstrom ot vice, the
"Tenderloin," printed in the Herald.
' "The pace that kills" leads through the
Tenderloin, says the Herald. Here the
average life of the gay woman is seven
years. In these new days this haunt of
crime has spread like the extending jaws
of some dread monster.
The medical side of the Tenderloin Is a
warning that also fills one with terror.
The Qnger ot science points bnt to stn'g
black, inevitable end. Even to the hard
ened man this leap over hell's Niagara is
appalling. Listen to the words ot wisdom
and sincerity. When asked by a Herald re
porter to talk on the pace that kills, Dr.
George F. Shrady said:
"Generally speaking, the pace that kills
Is always associated with dissipation in
one form or other. The usual start is
made in the desire tor diversion or re
creation, and the common ending is in an
Insanity of excess. It Is the very opposite
of healthful rest, which, one needs for his
daily labor.
"Nature always believes in moderation.
The really healthful man takes life
judiciously, evenly, understanding, and
never over-exoites himself. Stealing from
the night to lengthen the day is fatal to all
nerve force.
"With a man the period Is longer than
with a woman, because of his greater re
sisting physical powers and bis diversions
In other and possibly more absorbing direc
tions. Sooner or later, however, he, too,
Is sure to becomes physical wreck.
"It seated disease does not overtake him
or her, the drinking habit almost Invariably
associated with every form ot dissipation
Is sure to bring up the end.
"You sup with the devil and you will have
the one fiery and damning sauce. With
out it his Satanic Majesty would only offer
an empty spoon. The horse race could not
go on, the cards could not be shuffled, the
midnight dance would lose its charm, the
coarse rout would have no stimulus, and
the late supper would be without its ever
present and insidious charm.
"I venture to say that there la more
liquor drunk to the square rod of space in
the Tenderloin district than any other cor
responding density of population in any
other part of the city. The physical
wrecks, afloat with their burned and black
Bned spurs, drift back to every home in the
land.
"Men and women with ruined stomachs,
iamaged kidneys, crippled hearts, para
lyzed limbs and rotten bones mark the
track of nature's relentless fury of balanc
ing retribution. These patients fill oui
hospitals and asylums, and furnish exam
ples of almost every form of disease to
which degenerated humanity is subject.
"Each life has only so muoh eoal to
sum. The longer we keep on the 'blower'
the sooner we get the ashes. Disease and
death are always tho penalties of every ex
cess. In the category of causative influ
ences ot diseases, dissipation In its varied
and comprehensive sense always takes a
lending place.
"This is the paoe which not only kills
those that are but those that are to be. It
Is tainting the race along the line of de
scent with Idiocy, berodltary crime, insan
ity and other forms of physical degener
acy. All this show that we must live
moderately and decently and follow na
ture's unmistakable and reasonable man
dates." Brass Collars For Hen,
The London Telegraph tells of how ex
cessive drinking is checked in Manitoba.
When a man has been twice or thrice con
victed of drunkenness in the police courts
be is sentenced to wear a brass collar,
which marks bim out among his fellows as
a person to whom no publican could with
impunity serve liquor. The drastic meas
ure often proves a cure. On the authori
ties being satisfied that the branded indi
vidual has served a sufficiently long term
of probation he is uncollared and set at
liberty.
Notes of tha Crusade.
It is the "first glass" that brings the
murderer to the gallows.
From drinking and swearing and every sin,
You are safe and secure it you never begin.
President Hart, of the Chicago Baseball
Club, selected Waycross, Oa., as the train
ing ground for his team tbls year, giving
his reason therefore that there was no
saloon there.
If John, at that time a clerk in a ware
house, bad only said when Invited to stop
at a saloon and have a glass, "No, I thank
you," he would not now be tbe inmate of
an Inebriate asylum.
It is as practicable to run a canteen as a
temperance canteen, and sell only such de
sirable articles as soldiers need, as it Is
possible to carry on a family grocery or a
drug store without the sale ot liquor.
Last spring one ot the saloon keopers ot
Meudville, l'enn., sold intoxicating liquor
to thnue students who were minors. With
in twenty-four hours the faculty of Alle
gheny College had him arrested, and In
less than thirty days bis license was re
voked by the presiding judge of Crawford
County.

The Secret of This Opal.
A New Orleans jeweler tells a rather
whimsical little story at the expense
it a gentleman of this city who plumes
himself on his freedom from supersti
tion. "Back in the '80's some time,"
?aul the jeweler, "he bought an opal
ring while on a visit to El Paso, Texas.
The setting was supposed to come
from the Mexican mines and was re
markably handsome and full of fire.
It was mounted with ten small brill
iants and made really a very striking
rnnmeut; but, as usual, the friends
jf its owner were continually predict
ing that it would bring him bad luck,
lie laughed at their alarm and finally
took a good deal of pride in vaunting
his superiority to popular supersti
tion. About a month ago he lost one
jf the brilliants and brought the ring
uere for repairs. 'I've worn this opal
for over ten years,' be said, 'and I've
ret to discover that it was responsible
tor any misfortune. Flagne take such
illy notions, anyhow.' When I re
paired the mount I examined the set
ting carefully and was greatly amused
to discover that it wasn't an opal at
ill, but merely a piece of colored
jtlass. Opals, by the way, are easily
imitatod, the current belief to the con
trary notwithstanding. When I told
the gentleman abont it it made him so
mad that he gave the ring to his ne
gro porter." New Orleans Times

Origin of Colorado's Canons.
In a contribution by Dr. T. M.
Prudden to Harper's Magazine, on the
origin of the canons of the Colorado,
tbe opinion is expressed that at first,
the Colorado and its tributaries,
sweeping over the slowly rising sur
faces, planed them down iu the most
relentless mauner, as it were, aud then
began wearing out broad, Bhallow
stream beds. Then the country rose
more rapidly, and the water had to
cut deeper channels in the rocks in
order to flow out aud away to sea.
Owing in part to the wear of the
water itself, but more to the ceaseless
action of the suspended sand which it
bore from the up-country, or gathered
np as it went along, and to the foroe
of pebbles and boulders which it swept
on in flood time, the river keptouttiug
down as the strata rose.
Finally, when what was left of our
inland sea bottom got thrust up so
that, towering far above its former
rocky shores, it had to bo called a
plateau, the Colorado and its tribu
taries or auxiliaries found themselves
at the bottom of a series of colossal
canons and gorges, where they are to
day. Sleeping With llmtl to North.
The idea that human beings should
sleep with their heads to the north is
believed by the French to have for its
foundation a scientific fact. They
affirm that each human system is iu
itself an electvio battery, the head
being oue of the electrodes, the feet
the other. Their proof was discovered
from experiments which the Academy
of Science was allowed to make on the
body of a man who was guillotined.
This was taken the instaut it fell aud
placed upon a pivot free to more as it
might. The head part after a little
vacillation turned to the north and tho
body then remained stationary. It
was turned half way round by one of
the professors, aud again the head end
of the trunk moved slowly to tho
cardinal point due north, the same re
sult being observed nntil the fiunl
arrestation of organio movement.

The barbed-wire feuces surrouud
ing Santiago, which have proven a
hindrance aud nuisance to our bard
worked soldiers, have, it seems, aftor
all, their advantages. Not loug ago
one of the wires of such a fence was
sufllcieutly insulated to allow of tele
graphic messages being Beut from one
army corps to another, a distance of
five miles. Thus the Spaniards un
wittingly saved the enemy's signal
corps the trouble of laying a wire

LIVER ILLS.
Dr. IUdwat A Co., Now York:
Dear Sirs I have been sick for nearly
two years, and have been doctoring with
some ot tbe most expert doctors of the
United Stntes. I have been bathing In and
drinking hot water at tho Hot Springs,
Ark., but It seemed everything failed to do
me good. After I saw your advertisement
I thought I would try your pills, and have
nearly used two boxes; been taking two at
bedtime and one after breakfast, and they
hitvo dono me more good than anything
elso I have used. My trouble bits been
with the liver. My skin and eyes wero all
yellow: I had sleepy, drowsy feelings; felt
llko a drunkou man; pain right above the
nnvel, like as If it was bllo on top ot tbe
stomach. My bowels were very oostlve.
My mouth and tongue soro most of the
time. Appetite fair, but food would not
digest, but settle heavy on my stomach,
and some few mouthfuls of food oome up
again. I could only eat light food that
digests easily. Please send "Book ot Ad
vice." Ilespeatfully, BEN ZAUOQ,
Hot tfprlugs, Ark.
