wrote asking your advice, as tho physicians
here told me I could get no relief except by
an operation. Suffered for four years from
Irregular and profuse menstruation, had sick
and nervous headaches most of the time,
and at times could hardly walk acr.*s the
floor from weakness. J thank God there Is
such a remedy as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription for suffering women. Before 1 had
taken the first bottle the headaches had left
me and It was not long before regularity was
established and still continues so. Have Just
finished house-cleaning which I nover ex
pected to be able to do again, and can truly
say I never felt letter than at present. I
gladly recommend 'Favorite Prescription'
to all who suffer from female weakness. It
has cured me and made me stronger in every
way Neither my husband nor myself can
say enough in its praise."

FRUIT OUTLOOK.
Mach Uncertainty In the Commercial
Prospect For Apples.
It can safely be said that the out
look for apples throughout the United
States is a shade less satisfactory than
early In June. Reports from the all
Important Empire State continue to tell
of Baldwins showing up light; other
varieties are more promising. It is
significant, however, that orchardlsts
In some of the most prominent apple
producing counties of New York are
talking "moderate to light crop this
year." They base their belief partly
upon the fact that last season saw a
heavy yield. This sentiment is re
flected by coopers offering barrels at
lower bids than could be obtained last
season.
Special advices from American Agri
culturist correspondents in Niagara
county, N. Y., say there Is a fair to
heavy setting of all varieties of apples
except Baldwins. A Wayne county
orchardist writes that the outlook is
for half of last year's yield. In Al
bany county Hubbardstons will make
a fair yield, others showing up light.
In Onondaga the drop Is not proving
heavy, yet our correspondent says that
they are looking for no more than a
medium to fair crop. In Erie the June
thinning was large as far as apples
are concerned, due partly to very wet
weather. In Columbia peaches give
indications of a full yield; apples fair.
Peach prospects In many of the lead
ing New York counties are excellent
In Maryland.
Writing from Maryland a big com
mercial orchardist. with interests In
various sections, says apples promise
a half crop in Washington county, Md.,
Franklin county. Pa., and Frederick
county, Va. In Cumberland county, Ta.,
app'e prospects are medium to fair.
June drop late starting; peaches fine.
In some parts of New Jersey plums
and cherries are light, peaches showing
g'Kxl promise.
The Maryland peach crop will be
light. Early prospects for apples la
Virginia were excellent, but there
came a marked deterioration last
month.
New England and Cilier Points.
In New England the promise for
peaches is most excellent, the setting
In Connecticut being the best for many
years. As Is the case in New York,
many reports from New Kngland tell
of Baldwin apples showing up light.
Heavy rains in southwestern Michi
gan have cut down the apple promise
to some extent, yet many districts of
that state report the general fruit out
look as favorable. Illinois and Mis
souri orchardlsts are not hopeful of
securing good returns from apples this
year. In the latter state a 23 per cent
crop is estimated by reliable authori
ties.—American Agriculturist.
Xmt PncUoKe For Cucumbers.
A neat manner of packing fine cu
cumbers In boxes Is shown In tho cut.
These particular ones, pictured by
FINK CUCI'MBEKS IN BOXES.
New England Homestead, are said to
have been grown under glass and fer
tilized by bees. They were sent to
the' New York market and have
brought the grower as high as $2 per
dozen In midwinter.
The Tobacco Acrcnare.
In general, It may be stated that
there will be an Increase In acreage
for all types of cigar tobacco, for bur-
Icy and for the regie or dark tobacco
grown In Kentucky, Tennessee and a
small section of Indiana. In the Vir
ginia sun cured and the Virginia dark
districts the acreage remains about the
same as last year. In the Virginia
bright district D*d the old bright belt
of North Carolina the acreage will be
decreased to some extent. In the new
bright belt of North Carolina and
South Carolina tho acreage will be In
creased, the Increase In South Carolina
promising to be quite large.— CYop Re
porter.
Hog Manure.
Hog manure is very variable in com
position owing to the variable nature
of the food supplied to this animal, but
Is generally rich, although containing a
high percentage of water. It generates
little heat In decomposing.— W. H.
Beale.
THE GARDEN KEYBOARD
The planting of maize and late crop
lelery Is now In progress.
Cultivation will in part protect from
midsummer drought and keep tip
growth.
Green corn, onions from sets, cucum
bers, early potatoes, cauliflower, cab
bage and summer squash are among
toothsome products that one may now
gather from the well managed garden.
Trees anil shrubs thoroughly watered
/ times during the dry weather will
repay the trouble In greatly Increased
growth and beauty.
Supply hanging baskets, plant boxes
and vases with plenty of water at all
times.
If the first spikes of strong gladiolus
art- out when fairly In flower they will
usually throw up a number of new
spikes.

TREACHEROUS PEAT BOGS.
A (ircnaome Tradition About the
lint tie of Sol way.
There is an ancient and grewsouae
tradition connected with the story of
the battle of Solwny. This battle was
fought on the "debatable" l> >nlerland
between England and Scotland In the
year 1541!. A troop of horsemen heav
ily mouuted and heavily armored was
put to rout. In the panic of their flight
they ran headlong into a peat bog. The
bog trembled beneath the feet of their
chargers and opened and swalluwed
them, horses and horsemen, arms and
armor. To support this tradition more
than L'<>o years later, at the end of the
eighteenth century, a digger of peat
came upon one of tin? troop a man and
his horse, both in complete armor and
preserved from total decay by the anti
septic qualities of the peat. Another
story of that peat bog of the Soiway
frith is that In November, 1771, the
bog, surcharged with the moisture of
heavy rains, rose, swelled and burst
like a torrent, sweeping along with It
trees and houses and destroying thirty
small villages.
Many thousands of acres of peat are
found in tlii- north German lowland.
In Ireland estimates place the lowland
bog area at 1,576.000 acres and the
highland area at 1,254,000 acres, Uus
sia Is said to have (5,700 square miles of
peat. Several million acres are In
Norway and Sweden, France and Hol
land. The United States and Cauada
also have extensive tracts. Peat has
been used by artisans for ages in the
manufacture of tools. By burning peat
the old steel workers produced the fin
est grades of Iron and steel on account
of the intensity of the heat produced
and the absence of anything detrimen
tal to the metal. The elastic and keen
Damascus swords are believed to have
been wjide by $e uge of pept. s

stands. It is chiefly composed of sphag
num, or bog moss. This moss has pe
culiarly absorptive properties owing to
the cuplike arrangement of its parts. ,
which take up and hold water like a
sponge. Sphagnum continues to grow
after Its roots have become detached
from the ground. These two qualities
explain why bogs occasionally slide
from their old beds.
Ha rial Armor and Shrouds.
The custom of sewing up a corpse In
flannel originated doubtless In the act
of parliament, 18 and 10 Charles 11.,
which was passed for the encourage
ment of the woolen trade and required
all bodies to be buried in woolen
shrouds. Two amending statutes were
passed IO7S and 1680 requiring at
the funeral an affidavit to be delivered
to the priest stating that the require
ments of the law had been carried out;
otherwise penalties were incurred.
These acts were repealed by 54 Georae
111., although long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with the
law had ceased to be enforced. During
the operation of the acts for burying
in woolen the law was sometimes evad
ed by covering the corpse with hay or
flowers, notification of which is some
times met with in the parish registers.
Burial in armor was not at all un
common in the middle ages and was
considered a most honorable form of
burial. Sir Walter Scott in "The Lay
of the Last Minstrel" thus refers to It:
Seemed all on fire that chapel proud.

An Eleplinnf* Strength.
Bombera was the name of a big ele
phant employed in the construction of
a Ceylon dam. Bombera drew from
the quarry the stone to be used, unfas
tened the chain, rolled the block with
her forehead along the narrow em
bankment and titted it into its place.
If it were not just even she would
straighten it until it was right, and all
more quickly that a stone mason would
have done it and nearly as accurate.
Once some visitors were watching the
elephant when one of them asked if
Bombera could break a large stone
with a heavy sledge hammer which
lay near by. The rest of the party ex
claimed that it was too much to ask,
but the mahout said quietly:
"Bombera can do anything."
He gave a command, and the ele
phant swung up the hammer as if it
were a feather and knocked the stone
into bits.
"Now take your pipe and smoke it,"
continued the mahout.
The animal stuck the sledge hammer
In her mouth and walked off as if en
joying a morning smoke.
WHAT SHE PLAYED.
Tl»e I.ait Music Thnt Theodore Thom
as Heard on Earth.
During the last illness of Theodore
Thomas, although he was not" at any
time unconscious or delirious, he hard
ly noticed the members of his family
as they came and went at the bedside.
JJut one morning he seemed to be bet
ter.
lie made little Jokes with the doctors
and his sons and talked about his
White mountain home. 12 o'clock
he seemed tired. The editor of his
autobiography says that he sank into
a dreamy state, and then roused him
self to say to his wife in a lingering,
ecstatic voice:
"I have had a beautiful vision—a
beautiful vision!"
Then he drifted off into silence.
Ills wife thought lie was tired and
went downstairs to luncheon, but chief
ly with the purpose of leaving him to
rest. He had given her a chime of
bells, to be used In suinmorTlng the
family to meals, and because of his
illness they had never been rung in the
house. Now, because he seemed so
much better, she. played on them a lit
tle bugle call that came Into her head.
"Do you know what you have play
ed?" asked one of the family. "Taps—
the call that is sounded over the graves
of dead soldiers."
She rushod back to the bells and
played the call engraved on a metal
plate above theiii. Afterward she
found that this was reveille, the sol
dier's signal to rise.
So it had chanced that the last mu
sic Theodore Thomas heard on earth
had been symbolic of death and the
resurrection.—Youth's Companion.
THE DAINTY WASP.
Apparatus With WIIIOJI He
Hla Complicated Toilet.
"Wasps arc exceedingly dainty in
their habits," says a writer in the Fll
grtrn, "and, In order that they may
gratify their instinct for neatness to the
utmost, nature has provided them With
a set of marvelously delicate combs
and brushes. If we look closely at the
wasp's legs we will find that each bears
on Its outermost long joint two small,
movable spines, known as the apical
spurs, and If we examine these with a
magnifying glass each 1s seen to be
provided with a row of line teeth, so
that the apparatus answers for a coarse
and line toothed coftib.
"The tidying tip process consists of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
taking place in a particular sequence.
First, it passes both front legs over the
face from above downward, and after
repeating this movement several times
draws them through the Jaws. This Is
to remove any foreign substanco which
may have collected on them. The legs
are then passed backward from the
forehead, much as we should smooth
back our hair. The wings are then
stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful ob
server would fall to detect anything
upon tjiem. The abdomen Is next care
fully stroked from base to tip until
every hair points lb the right direction
and a gloss as flue as satin is attained.
Last of all, each of the six legs, in turn,
is laboriously drawn between two of its
follows, so the wasp is once more ready
to face Its world."
THE CHOICE OF MATES.

No one knows what type will be the
