All ‘young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully given, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging from the letters she is receiving from so many young girls Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogesher too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality,—often rt is never recovered.

Bone meal is a very essential ele- ment in the food of fowls in confine- ment. When fowls run at large they can get all the mineral food they need wandering over the fields but when they are kept in close quarters they will soon consume every particle of animal, vegetable and mineral matter they can find in the yard. They are so constituted that they must hae; these things in order to do the best. PRODUCES CHOLERA. Pigs that are confined on a lot and not allowed to forage for grass will be subject to cholera. Exercise is an aid to digestion and health, and the use of clean fcod and water are better than remedies. It is a mistake to keep pigs in pens and filth in summer. Ex- ercise may not be of advantage to hogs that are being fattened, but for grow- ing pigs it is beneficial. The great dan- ger in raising pigs during Wurm weather is not a lack of food, but too much of it. If they are on a lot where they can secure a large share of their food. they will need only a mess of bran and skimmed milk at night to be kept in good condition. RAISE THINGS. One way to keep up an interest in farming is to be constantly producing new generations of animals and plants. Do not depend on buying all the ani- mals needed, but learn to raise them on the farm. So, too, of orchard trees and the small fruits; buy a few to get a start and the increase by propaga- tion. The animals and plants of most value are those raised and watched while they are growing. Of flotvering plants and shrubs, too, we should be on the lookout to have some new ones started, by division or otherwise, to give to friends or to exchange with neighbors. We know of nothing that will endear children to the farm house like having live things of their own to raise and care for. WHERE MOSS GROWS, It’s where there is continuous mois- ture)» because it actually dreads sun- shine or sunlit places. It's in a level location, where winds are infrequent, and it grows thickest on the north side of a tree, usually, or else upon a steep hillside of a northern exposure. We see moss growing abundantly, even rankly, upon stumps, rocks, and on sides of trees quite thickly. The wood- men have a saying hed “Moss grows thickest on the north side of a tree.” That is somewhatreliable in a timbered country in the north wood, but hardly elsewhere, it seems. To tell the north- erly directions, the bark must be gir- dled with a hatchet, whereupon it will be found thickest on the north—north- east side of the bark.—Miss IF. IL. Ris- ley, in The Epitomist. FEEDING FARROWING SOWS. Many first-class breeders are ruined at farrowing time by over feeding as well as by neglect of the bowels. If the sow has been properly fed during the several months of pregnancey she is not likely to become constipated, al- thought this is a condition of many indi- vidual animals regardless of the food. In such cases the sow should be given a cose of Epsom salts, one-quarter of a pound as soon after the pigs are dropped as she becomes comfortable. ~ We find it a good plan to make the sow go without food entirely for the first twenty-four hours after farrow- ing and then feed her a little warm milk or water with the chill taken off. After that until the pigs begir to clamor for milk she is fed lightly on gruel made with bran and milk. Grad- ually shé is put on full rations and if given good care can be turned into pas- ture with the pigs in two weeks, pro- vided, of course, the pasture and the weather permit. This sort of care is what makes it possible to have two litters of pigs a year and there are few sows but what will go through in good shape if given the proper care.—In- dianapolis News. EGG BOARD. ‘A convenient egg account can be made by taking a board nine inches by four and a half inches and divid- ' fo count ten, the second to count 100, and the third 1000, moving the button soo, 699 » ing it into three half circles, the first | in the centre to the line indicating the number of eggs gathered. On the back of the board can be kept an account of eggs and chicks sold each month.— | Theo, H. Selb, Rush Hill, Mo. NEWSPAPER WOMEN CF THE FUTURE Higher Grade of Work and Less Sensa- tional Exploitations Will Be Demanded. “Touching the sensational reporting formerly done by women, it may be said that such work has had its day,” writes Elizabeth G. Jordan in the La- dies’ Home Journal. “Women no long- er go down in diving costumes, nor go up in balloons, nor fall in front of ca- ble cars to test the practical working of the fenders. In justice to the wo- men reporters who did work of that kind, it should be added tha: many of them—indeed, the majority of them— were good and modest girls, who ac- cepted such assignments under protest, and only because the editor called on them for the work, and their living de- pended on their acquiescing. With the passing of the sensational specials should be chronicled the decline of the woman’s columns and the woman's de- partments. They, also, Lave had their day. “To meet those and other changes, the newspaper woman of the twen- tieth century will be a new type, and much wiil be expected of her. She will be a well-educated, well-balanced, cool- headed and practical young: person, with a body as carefully trained as her mind. She will know more about the English language than do most of her sisters of to-day, yet not a bit more than she will need to know. The news- paper woman of the future will have passed the experimental stake of her professional work. Concessions to her will be no longer made, excuses for her no longer accepted. She will be out of the ranks of the amateurs and in line with the professionals. She must stand or fall by the same tests as are given to the man at the desk beside hers.” WISE WORDS BY B. J. FREDERICKS. An overiooked virtue in young men is that of keeping a promise. A girl hasn't much use fer a young man who attempts to kiss her and then quits. There is neither profit nor pleasure in the companionship of mien who think and talk lightly of women. Avoid companionship with men who prate of their conquests, and who de- light to talk continually about them- selves. Doubly endorsed notes and certified ‘checks have taken the place of church connections in establishing credits ard commercial relations, Virtue is essentially a ccndition of youth. Old people do not lay claim to virtue; they insist that they have other exactions that must be lived up to. The boy with curly hair seldom be- comes anything more than the man with curly hair. He was, and is, only a plaything for the feminine sex. If you must go into debt avoid your relatives and close friends. You will prevent arousing the Latred of the former and retain the fri:ndship of the latter. All the wisdom of the sages and the bitter experiences of centuries do not combine to convince some young nren that there are really some things in this world beside gratifying personal pleasures. Do not grop inthe dark. Wait un- til you see some light. I do not care how faint the light may be, but let there be at .east some light before mak- ing a move. It is just as hard to re- treat in the dark as it is to advance. Insect Resembles a Beautiful Flower. Living specimens of a queer insect have lately been shown in Cambridge, England. They were brought from Rangoon by Captain C. E. Williams. The insect is a species of mantis, and its body and legs are both shaped and colored to resemble a beautiful flower. It feeds on butterflies, and while it is lying in wait for them under a spray of leaves it looks exactly like a blue blos- som with a black spot in the centre re- sembling the tube of a carolla. The black part of the body is drawn out into a long green stalk. The resem- blance to a flower is perfect, and but- terflies and other insects light on it in search of nectar and are immediate- ly seized by its fatal claws.—Philadel- phia Record. —_— eo Lg Wars and Wars. Two watchmen at the Treasury De- partment in Washington last evening were anxiously perusing the evening papers. One of them was skimming over the columns of war news, being deeply interested in the developments in the Russian-Japan situation. *“’Bout time for another naval en- gagement over there in the Yellow Sea,” he remarked. The other was from Ohio, where the Foraker and Dick factions are en- gaged. “I don’t care a cuss about that war over in the Far East and the battles jn the Yellow Sea,” he answered. “What I'm anxious about is the war out near Lake Erie.” Tolstoi's Outdoor Life. Still vigorous at the age of seventy- five Count Leo Tolstoi nearly every day either takes a ride on his favorite horse, goes for a walk under the linden trees with his daughter Al- exandra, or, in company with his great wolfhound, tramps over the broad acres of the famous estate of Ysnaya Polyana. Tolstoi has long been an ar- dent out-of-doors man; in early life a hurdle rider of no mean accomplish- years, ments, a hunter, and an athlete; in later years a pedestrian, to whom twelve miles a day was an average | walk, and to whom a day in the saddle was as nothing.—Outing.

The business men of th#t community raised a considerable sum to be expended for space in Eastern newspapers, and the returns were prompt and generous. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. Fora great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it.in- curable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct- ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. . Address ¥. J.
