What Otinn. H. Hackle? HAS Done for
Weatern Michigan.
(From Orandßapidt, Mich., Evening Preti.)
The most beautiful spot ia all this olty Is
inseparably associated with the name of
Haokley. Ohos. H. Haokley has been la the
lumber business here continuously stnae
1860, and In that time has amassed a fortune
which gives him a rating among the wealthy
men of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening of the purse
strings which Is generally a marked charac
teristic of wealthy men.
It Is no wonder then that the name of
Charles H. Hackley is known at home and
abroad. Ills munlfloence to Muskegon
alone represents an outlay of nearly half a
million. For the past twenty years he has
been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and
rheumatism, also numbness of the lower
limbs, so much so that It has seriously Inter
fered with his pleasure in life. For some
time past bis friends have noticed that he
has seemed to grow young again and to
have recovered the health which he had in
youth
To a reporter for the Npws Mr. Hackley
explained the secret of this transformation.
"I have suffered for over 20 years," he said,
"with pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief I could get at night was
by putting oold water compresses on my
limbs, I was bothered more at night than
in the day time. The neuralglo and rheu
matic pains in my limbs, which had been
growing in intensity for years, nnally be
came obronio. I made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief, and
then fell back to my original state. I
couldn't sit still, nnd my sufferings began to
make my life look very blue. Two years ago
last September I noticed an account of Dr.
Williams' rink Pills for Pale People and
what they had done for others, and some
ensos so nearly resembled mine that I Was
interested, so I wrote to one who had given
a testimonial, an eminent professor of musio
in Canada. The reply I recolved was even
stronger than the printed testimonial, and it
gave mo faith in the medicine.
"1 began taking the pills and found them
to bo all that the professor had told me they
would be. It was two or three months be
fore I experienced any perceptible better
ment of my condition. My disease was of
such long standing thnt I did not expect
speedy recovery and was thankful even to
be relieved. I progressed rapidly, however,
towards recovery and for the last six months
have felt myself a perfectly well man. I
hare recommended the pills to many people
and am only too glad to assist others to
health through the medium of this wonder
ful medicine. I cannot say too much for
what it has done for me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restoro shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mall from Dr. Williams'
MediolnoCompany,Sohenectady, N.Y., for
ilfty cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
Business Aphorisms. ~
Cnrlyle wasn't a man of business,
but be would have made a success of
it, bad be tried it. In bis writings
one finds tbese lines of solid b""inesa
truth:
A laugb is worth a hundred groans
in any market. J
Have a smile' for all, a pleasant
word for everybody.
To succeed, work bard, earnestly
and incessantly.
All honest men will bear watching.
It is the rascals who cannot stand it.
Better have the window empty than
filled with unseasonable and unattrac
tive goods.
When you hang a sign outside your
plaoe of business, let it bo original in
design and of good quality.
Wondrous is the strength of cheer
fulness ; altogether past calculation its
power of endurance. Efforts to be per
manently useful must be unifomly
joyous, a spirit of sunshine, graceful
from very gladness, beautiful because
bright.—Scientific American.

In a recent article on Coffee and Cocoa, the
eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer,
•peaking of the Dutch process of preparing
Cocoa by the addition of potash, and of the
process common In Germany in which ammo
nia is added, says:"The only result of those
processes is to make the liquid appear turbid
to the oye of the consumer, without effecting
a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose of BO
called solubility Is, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception, and always takes place at
i He cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful action
and aromatic flavor. The treatment of Cocoa
by such chemical means is entirely objection
able. . . . Cocoa treated with potash or
ammonia would be entirely unsalable but for
the supplementary addition of artificial flavors
by which a poor substitute for the aroma
driven out into the air is offered to the con
sumer." The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made
by Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass.,
is absolutely pure and soluble. No chemicals,
k or dyes, or artificial flavors are used in it.

BOSSES' FONDNESS FOB ROLLING.
A very common stable vice among
horses is a tendency to roll completely
over. In a state of freedom this is
not attended with any danger, though
sometimes, wlien the ground ia hard,
the withers have been injured by con
stant attempts to roll over. Horses
seem to regard the process as fun.
When the attempt is made in the stall
the horse is often completely thrown
upon his bAck against the wall and is
unable to got back again.—New York
World.
HOW TO WATER PLANTS.
One reason why plants facte so soon
in ordinary living rooms is because
due attention is not paid to them.
The mere supplying them with water
is not enough ; the leaves should .be
kept perfectly clean, for plants
breathe by their leaves, and if their
surfaces are clogged with dust, respir
ation is hindered, or may be alto
gether prevented. Plants perspire by
their leaves, too, and dirt, of course,
impedes this perspiration ; And as they
also feed in the same manner, it is
evident that there can be no thriving
and growth without real cleanliness.
Cast the eyes upon the foliage of
plants kept in the ordinary sitting
room, then draw a white handkerchief
over the leaves, and it will be seen
that they are far from being as clean
as their nature required.—St. Louis
Star-Savings.
TO KEEP THE NESTS AND EGGS CLEAN.
As those eggs which are the cleanest
nnd brightest looking usually bring
the highest price when marketed, the
keeping of the nest clean, so that the
eggs may be so, is no doubt one way
by which you can make your eggs
bring a higher price than those of
your neighbors. There is no secret
whatever to be found out in order to
accomplish this, as all that one will
have to do is to bo watchful and see
that whatever you may keep in your
nest to make it soft is changed when
ever it may bo needful. The eggs can
never be clean if the nest is dirty; but
if the nest is clean you will undoubt
edly find the eggs 80, hence it is in
the nest the work will liavo to be dene
in order that the "hen fruit" may
have that clear, bright, and clean ap
pearnnce which catches the eye of the
consumer. To keep the nest clean is
a very easy matter; all that will be
needed is to change the hay, straw, or
leaven, or whatever may be used, about
once a week. When you are cleaning
out the nest in this manner a good idea
'nould be to givo it a thick coat of
whitewash. This will make it look
better and will also drive away from
the vicinity of the nest the lice, which
aro so troublesomo to the hens when
laying.—New York Witness.
THE FEEDING VALUE OF HOOTS.
There arc runny substances which if
chemical analysis bo taken as the sole
guide for feeding value, would appear
to be ideal rations, yet it is sometimes
found that either the animals will re
fuse to eat them altogether, or fail to
do well when restricted to them, writes
H. W. Mumford, of Michigan. It is
important, then, that foods should be
appetizing, that they should be
relished by the stock. Again, one
cannot consistently advise the use of
articles of food, at least to any con
siderable extent, unless it can be
profitably produced or purchased at n
comparatively reasonable figure in the
markets.
The chemical analysis of roots has
proven satisfactory, they are relished
by stock, they can be profitably
grown, and when fed out to farm ani
mals experience has shown that the
results obtained have come up to all
reasonable expectations. I find them
valuable as a food for all farm stock.
Horses soon learn to like them and
it has been a custom with me to feed
about two good-sized roots to a horse
everyday. AU the young cattle get
rutabagas, seldom more than sixty
pounds of cut roots a day, depending
on the age and size of the auimal.
I aim to feed the cows 011 what sugar
beets thty will eat up clean. The
brood sow gets a few roots every day
and seems to cat and relish them as
well as grain. Poultry are fond of a
light feed of finely chopped beets at
frequent intervals.
While I advocate the feeding of
roots to all farm animals, where suc
culent food in some other form is not
available, yet I believe that roots are
pre-eminently a most valuable and an
economic food for sheep. At the
Michigan experiment station, in an
experiment conducted to ascertain the
relative value of ensilage and roots
for fattening lambs, the roots gave
much the most marked result). Not
only this, but the economio value c'
roots as a factor in the ration of fat
tening lambs was conolusivelyproven.
It is very expensive to construct a
silo and get suitable mnchinery, while
in raising and feeding roots no great
initial outlay is occasioned and the
roots furnish valuable succulent food.

IV£ CULTIVATION OF VICLTTS.
Violets grown entirely in cold frames
will require considerable oare to in
sure a supply of flowers during the
winter months. If leaves havo not al
ready been packed about tho frames
for additional protection, this should
be done at once. A litter of manure,
straw or hay affords fairly good pro
tection, but none of these keep out
cold as well as leaves, and they are all
less tidy-looking. If a frame is prop
erly packed with leaves and protected
with mots and shutters a temperature
of zero or lower can easily be resisted.
Instead of straw nuts wo nsu those
made of Singapore-fibre. Thoy cost
but little mule than the straw mutx,
are slightly heavier, and far more
durable. Thoy are iin pet 4 >ll h t,

destroy them. The mats we have iine.l

aioi.t to tail rams Know AmiM
not be allowed to remain over the
panes longer than twenty-four hours
at a time if it oan possibly be avoided ;
the plants need all the light and air
they can get during the dark months,
and if the frames are covered over for
a week or ten days at a time the plants
suffer greatly. Mold will quiokly
spread among the crowns and the
leaves become weak and spindling.
The plants ought to be picked over
once a week, and any diseased or de
caying foliage removed. If any green
slime appears on the surface of the
beds it should be scratched over.
The Lady Hume Campbell Violets
are entirely free from spot this sea
son, and this variety seems equally
clean in other places. It does not,
however, bloom as freely as the Marie
Louise at this season of the year, and
the flowers, while of good size, are
somewhat paler in color than those of
Marie Louise. Swanley White is also
free from spot, but we have had some
little trouble with this disease on
Marie Louise, and especially on lifted
plants. The plants grown in frames
during the summer have made the
most vigorous and the healthiest
plants. As a remedy for spot we have
used Fir-tree oil onoe a week with
good resnlts. A small handful of salt
is mixed in eAch twelve-quart can of
the Fir-tree oil mixture, and the ap
plication is made about mid-day,
while the sun is shining full on the
plants.
We find that our plants at this sea
eon dry out sufficiently to take a mod
erate watering onoe a fortnight, but
they will need less water from now
until the end of January. The water
should be tepid, and should not bo
poured into the crown. The water
ing should be done early enough in
the day for the foliage to become
quite dry before nightfall, and air
should be admitted on every favor
ablo opportunity. It is better to von
tilate even when the outside tempera
ture is several degrees below freezing
point, if the sun shines on the frame,
than to keep the frame closed, and
run up the temperature with au idea
of forcing tho blooms.—Forest and
Garden.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Have the fruit in a cool place.
The English farmor buys his phos
phoric acid at so much a pound.
Land which has had corn and field
poas on it will answer very well for
Irish potatoes.
The man that does not apply all the
manure possible every year is liko a
miser, injuring himself and benefiting
no one.
Tho little things on the farm if sold
at the right time count up quite rapidly
sometimes, as we have found out by
experience.
The chicken coop will neod cleaning
out quite often now. as tho poultry
will spend a great deal of their time
in it to keep from the wind.
Salt is injurious to poultry to givo
in too great a qnantity. If fed in
moderation in their soft feed it will
help to make it more palatable.
Every one who plants seeds ought
to send to some seedsmen for their
catalogues, so that they may be ablo
to have tho best tho market affords.
Where sheep have an advantage
over cattle is in the fact that they can
live on ranges where it would be utter
ly useless to try to keep other stook.
When you receive the catalogues
from the different seedsmen, it might
be well to pick out one or two novel
ties and include them in your annual
order.
We would rather risk tho loss of fei
tility when spread in the field than un
der the eaves in the muddy barnyard,
no odds what the character of the soil
may be.
If you have common hens which do
not pay, grade them up with thorough
bred males; then clean up and feed
less corn, and you will soon be on the
road to better results.
The 400-acre apple orchard of Judgo
Wolhouse, in Leavenworth County,
Kansas, yielded 47,374 bushels of ap
ples this season, whioh were sold at a
net profit of about 812,000.
It is not difficult to keep hens and
sheep from getting sick, but it is not
so easy to cure them when they are
sick. It is usually cheaper and better
to kill them than to try to save them.
The Pittsburg Dispatch tells how
money may be made by growing po
tatoes. One farmer made $7500 out of
Ilfty acres of potatoes, and another
one got 83000 for 5000 bushels of po
tatoes raised on twenty acres of laud.
Promptness in marketing is always
advisable. A man had better not raise
so much and dispose of it to tho best
advantage thau to strain every nerve
to raise everything possible to be dis
posed of in an injudicious way or to
goto loss unmarketed.
Considering tho amount necessary
to purchase a good horse at the pres
ent time, there is no excuse for driv
ing a poor, broken down, old animal
that life is a burden to; besides, it
josts less to feed and care for a good
IK rse than a poor one.
Begonias and callas are both flower
ing and foliage plants, and may be
kept all winter with a little extra care
iu watering. Both like warmth, but
they must have a moist atmosphere to
do well. For plentiful flowers, they
require also direct sunlight.
Land that is unproductive is not
necessarily exhausted. The elements
of fertility may lie in the soil, but in
an unavailable form. Leguminous
plants will bring it nitrogen from tho
air, aud a crop of manure may supply
some simple elemeut to make a proper
balance iu its constitnnnoy.
The successful merchant makes quick
sales and small profits, changing his
| stook in trade often. Ho does the suc

much of a farmer's stock in trade. It

potash, etc., of thirty acres of wheat
and let it rttutaiu there four to six
A tiorilla Dissected.
An autopsy was held upon the body
of Gumbo, the gorilla which died re
cently at Boston. Professor Franklin
Dexter, of the Harvard Medical School,
and Professor Councilman, formerly
of Johns Hopkins University of Balti
more, now professor of pathology at
Harvard, conduoted the examination,
says the Hartford (Conn.) Times. Con
sumption was fonnd to have been the
causo of death. The doctors decided
that Gumbo was about forty years old,
and that he had had the germs of
tubercular consumption of the slow
variety, which is a disease the simia
are particularly subject to in this cli
mate.
One discovery was that of a sort of
pouch or bag in the chest, in front of
the lungs and connected by means of
an independent valve with the trachea
or windpipe. This is undoubtedly
the organ employed by the gorillas iu
making their peculiar roar.
The brain weighed seventeen ounces.
In its structure it bears a striking re
semblance to the human brain, being,
however, broader at the base and nar
rower at the top, and exhibiting a far
less number of convolutions. Tho
brain will be subjected to a variety of
delicate tests and a minute microsco
pic scrutiny.
Professor Dexter and his assistants
intend to make an exhaustive compari
son between the gorilla and a human
being. In life Gumbo measured five
feet six inches in height and in health
weighed 168 pounds. His arms were
four feet in length and his muscles of
the texture of wire rope.
A Good Kind ot Food.
No sort of food is better for the
complexion than oatmeal and oranges.
The finest complexions in the world
are those of the Spanish and Italian
ladies, who live largely on coarse
grained food and fruit like the orange
and banana. It is said that many
ladies are living almost entirely on
oranges. Half a dozen for breakfast
with a cup of coffee, a dozen for lunch
with a glass of milk and a sauoer of
oatmeal, and a dozen ir ore for supper
with a crust of bread and a sip of tea,
may not be high living in the proper
sense of the word, but such u course
of diet will bring a complexion which
will drive almost any belle out of her
head with envy.—New York Adver

A Thoughtful Elephan*.
In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drinks from large wooden
troughs filled with well water by
mtans of a pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills his trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting a friend at
his fine residence in India, a corre
spondent of a j>aper saw a large ele
phant engaged in pumping such a
trough full of water. He continues:
"In passing I notioed that one of
the two tree-trunks which suppsrted
the trough at either end had rolled
from its place, ro that the trough,
still elevated at one extremity, would
begin to empty itself as soon as the
water reached the level of the top at
the other and, which lay on the
ground. I stopped to see if the ele
phant would discover anything wrong.
Soon the water began to ruu off at
tho end which hail lost its support.
The animal showed signs of perplexity
when he saw this; but, as the end
nearest him lacked milch of being full,
he continued to pump.
"Finnlly, seeing that the water con
tinued to pass off, ho left the pump
handle and began to considor the
phenomenon. He seemed to find it diffi
cult to explain. Three times he re
turned to his pumping, and three
times ho examined the trough. I was
an absorbed looker-on, impatient to
see what would be done. Soon a live
ly flapping of tho ears indicated the
dawning of light. Ho went and
smellcd of the tree trunk which had
rolled from under the trough. I
thought for a moment that ho was
going to put it in its placo again.
But it was not, as I soon understood,
the end which ran over that disturbed
his mind, but the end which he found
it impossible to fill. Raising the
trough, which he then allowed to rest
for an instant on ono of his huge feet,
ho rolled away tho second supporting
log with his trunk, aud then set his
trough down so that it rested both
ends on the ground. Ho then re
turned to the pump and completed his
task."
Tiie Fare ol a Clock.
Wo believo it was George Augustus
Saht who once said he would think
himself safo in betting a five-pound
notes that not more than one person
out of a score coukl tell correctly ofl
liand, in what way the hour four is
represented on a watch or clock-dial.
Most people, without looking, would
6ay IV, instead of 1111. And why
should it not be IV? Well, here is
tho Btory. Tho first clock which kept
anything like accurate time was con
structed by a certuiu Henry Vick, in
1370. It was made to the order of
Charles V., of France, who was called
"The Wise." Wise he certainly was
iu some respects, but he did not know
everything, though'he'liked to pretend
that "lie did. When Vick brought him
his clock, ho looked closely at its
movements for sometime. "Yes," it
works very well," ho said at length,
but you havo got tho figures on the
dial wrong." "Surely not, your Ma
jesty," said Vick. "Yes, that four
should bo four ones." "You are
wrong, your Majesty." "I am never
wrong," thundered the King. "Take
it away aud correct tho mistake."
Vick did as commanded, and so to
this day we have 1111, when we really
should havo IV. It is not generally
known that watchss may be used as
compasses, yet such is the case. Point
tho hour hand to the sun, and the
south is exactly half way between the

Diagnosed by llie Hair.
A shepherd who can tell from see
ing a patient's hair what his disease
is, and whose cures are miraculous,
attracts hundreds of people daily to
the village of Radbruch, near Har
burg, in Germany. To protect his
own health he refuses to see more
than a fixed number daily, who must
hold tickets which were distributed
by the local constable, till a firm of
speculators bought them all aud sold
them for high prices. The police
authorities are investigating the mat
ter.—New York Sun.

Dulce a Strange Food.
Dulce is a seaweed growing on the
rooks in the sea, and used as an article
of food by the poor on the coasts of
Ireland, Scotland and other Northern
countries, and of the Crecian Islands.
Even some of the wealthier classes in
those localities also show a great par
tiality for this production, the taste,
however, being generally an acquired
one. Dulce has a purple, leathery,
membranous leaf, with an odor some
thing like that of violets mingled with
sea Rait. It is eaten raw or roasted,
and in Ireland it is sometimes boiled
in milk. Among the inhabitants of
the latter country it fc considered a
most important plant, and after being
washed and dried is stored in casks, to
be eaten with fish. The Kamtschat
kans utilize it in the making a fer
mented liquor. The name of duloe is
also given in the southwest of Eng
land to another seaweed of tbe same
family, which is eaten raw or pinched
between hot irons. Still another
variety called "pepper duloe" has a
sharp taste and is used as an appetizer
when other seaweeds are oaten. Con
siderable quantities of Irish dulce are
imported into this country, and may
be bought at grocery stores.— -Tew

Dr. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, of all
cases of Consumption, In all Ita
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living: witnesses to the fact that, iu all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per
centage of cases, and we believe, fully qS
per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal ' malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried iu nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the liypophos
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
