According to United States Consul
Boyle, at Liverpool, cider has become
a most popular drink In England, due
to a considerable extent to Its recom

rheumatic and gouty disorders. He
says the cider of England Is usually
vry good, and is put up In an attrac
tive manner. During the past two or
three years there has been a great re
vival of the elder trade. He says there
Is no reason why the United States
should not get a good share of this
growing trade, especially as much of
the cider for this year's consumption
is mad from Canadian apples.

A rrof.'g-lonul Nurse Tells Rrr Ex

Montague, Mass.
Fostcr-Mllbnrn Co., Uuffalo, N. Y.:
Gentlemen I henrtily wlnh those who
are suffering from backache and dis
turbed action of the kidneys would try
Dunn's Kidney Pills. As was the case
vr-ith mo, they will be more than sur
prised with the results. I hnd been
troubled for years with my spine. I
could not Ho on either side. Spinal
cramps would follow, anil words could
not explain the agony which I would
endure. While la these cramps I could
not speak or move, but by making a
great effort after tbe cramp had left
me I could begin to speak and move a
little, but my whole back was so sor
and lame that I could not even have the
back bathed for some time. My nerves
were In a terrible state. I would rath'
er sit up at night than go to bed, dread
ing the cramps and the terrible buck
aches. I consulted physicians, but got
only a little relief for tho time being.
Seeing your advertisement, my mother
urged me to try Doan's Ktduey Pills.
After using one box I was better, and
have ever since been on tbe gain, I
have no backache and no cramps now,
and I feel like a new person. My nerves
are better and I know my blood is purer.
Words cannot express my thanks to
you for what Doan's Kidney Pills have
done for me. In my work as profes
sional nurse I have a chance to recom
mend them, and they did me so much
good that I will do so on every possible
occasion.

T Is not only the diivers ot

I ers of high strpplng pairs

lIH formers of the State who
have viidt crops to move who are
most Inslslcnt upon tho Imperative
need of good roads iiml who are pledg
ing the payment of vast sums frni.i
their local treasuries If the necessary
State nld will bring about the better
moiit of New York's public highways.
Ths wonld-lie driver for pleasure who
bumps along country roads that rival
that traditional rocky route to Dublin
swears between jolts that it Is a shame
that the Empire State's thoroughfares
are not decent places of travel, but
the farmers are the men of nil others
Interested In tho proposed great
scheme of public Improvement.
They use the roads more than any
one else In their dally work and haul
ing crops en route to nmrket, nnd
though they were at first opposed to
the State "good roads' appropriation
nnd tbe additional county subscription
to It that mennt Increased taxes to
every one of them, they ore to-day the
most earnest advocates of the mens
tire to bo presented at this session of
the Legislature. And their attitude
Is Hint of wisdom, for no money ap
propriated by the Stnte brings more
lasting ficnetlt to the community at
Inrge than the sums given for the
building of good roads.
In every locality r.-bere the better
ment of the highways has b.en ef
fected by general and local taxation
the voting of the necessary county
subscription In order to gain State aid
was first effected only after tue most
vigorous objection on the part of the
farmer, who say only larger taxei to
pay In consequence. But the universal
result of the better roads has been to
transform the objectors Into enthuslns
tic lndorsers of the movement. Every
county and township In this nnd othel
States that has expcr.ded money fot
the Improvement bas found that II
lins enriched the neighborhood vastly.
Not only has It Increased the tarrying
capacity of the vehicles, lessened the
cost of travel and diminished wear nnd
tear, but It has tended to build up a
county by making It more attractive
In every way and drawing to It well-to-do
people who are a source of rev
enue to tbe various Incclltles.
The Legislature of this State In 1003
passed favorably r. pon the proposed
submission to the people of n consti
tutional amendment enabling the issue
of bonds to the amount of $50,000,000
for the building of good roads, half of
the sum to be donated by the State
and tbe other half loaned to the coun
ties agreeing to meet half tho local
cost. This must be passed upon again
In 100I5 before It can go before the peo.
plo for consideration, so It will be 1006
before such aid can be given the va
rious counties. Meanwhile there Is a
universal demand for linmedlnte relief,
nnd from all I nrts of the Stnte the
legislators are urged to appropriate at
this and tbe following session at least
$2,000,000 annunlly for highway work,
on the plan of the counties meeting
half the necessary expenditure.
There should be no opposition to this
proposed measure, for It Is the wish of
the whole State, and as half tbe bur
den will fall upon the counties con
cerned, while tho public at large will
sharo -the benefits, the bill should go
through with ncclnnuitlcn as a meas
ure that will do "tbe greatest good to

The Farmer and State Aid.
Fonr States, New Y'ork, Massachu
setts, Now Jersey mill Connecticut,
liuve In the past ten years spent nbout
$10,000,000 as State aid for building
wagon roads. About $0,000,000 bas
been added to this sum by the counties
and towns where tho State roads were
built, and about 2.100 nd'ei of State
road hnvo been completed In these
four States. Pennsylvania last year
Appropriated $0,300,000 for tho build
ing of Slate roads. Wherever State
roads have been built the selling price
of farm lands has been increased from
twenty per cent, to fifty per cent, and
even moro in some cases. The 2500
mili'i of State rood already built have
been of such benefit to the farmer that
they have caused a great demand for
moro good roads. Five States have
found it good to uld In tho building ot
wagon roads by n State appropriation.
Why should not the National Govern
ment aid in building roads in every
Stato of tho Union? Congressman
Brownlow, of Tennessee, bas answered
this question by introducing In Con
gress a bill appropriating $24,000,000
as national aid for 'building wagon
ronils. This sum is available at the
rato of $8,000,000 a year for three
year3, and Is distributed to each State
according to its population, except that
no Stato shall receive less than $250,
000. The States or counties receiving
this money must add a liko amount.
This appropriation will build between
G000 and 7000 miles of splendid nation
al roads and will give, say, from 100
to S00 miles to each Stato of tho
Union. It seen.; to many farmers that
It is tlmo for tha National Government
to aid them and they Lopo the bill will
become a law.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
r rands In Watch Caaee.
According to an article in the Cincin
nati Commercial, a fifty one pound atone
waa recently found in that city secreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
Thia ia not aa bad aa finding a lump ol
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in tbe cen
tre of the case.
Gold watch caaea are sold by weight, snd
no one esn see where this lead ia secreted
until the springs of the case are tnken out
and tbe lead will bo found secreted behind
them.
These eases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish tha means
to the dishonest to rob tha public. It is
not plcasnnt for anyone to find that he
litis lugged a lump of lead in his watch
case.
Another trick of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch raxea is to stamp the ease
"U. S. Assay." The United States doea
not stamp any article made out of gold and
ailver except coin, and the fakir, hv using
this stump, wants to make the puiilic be
lieve that the Government had aomething
to do with the atamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir ia to
advertise a watch described aa a solid geld
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five-year
guarantee. These watches are gener
ally sent C. O. P., and if the purchaser has
paid for the watch he finds that the com
pany which guaranteed tbe watch to wear
is not in existence.
The Duebcr Hampden Watch Company,
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this Ques
tionable business.

"Tho r.inn seeking the favor hail been

"He was greeted with cordiality,

" '1 hardly expected you would,' re

cob reads Edwin Everhnrd's narrative
of his compact with Alfred Jones, of
Omaha, Kelt., which was to give blra
the farmer's daughter, Minnie, In mar
rlnge In return for six months', work
on tho farm. The deviation comes at
the conclusion. In Everhard's case
another mail won the affections of the
girl and the modern Jacob got himself
In jail for stealing a horse as a re
taliatory matter ngalnst the father for
alleged breach cf contract.
"I was to help on the farm work for

was to marry Minnie nnd the farm was

of six months 1 learned that Minnlo

whenever she saw her father. At the

neighbor, which she donned forthwith,
refusing to wear tho clothes of her

When eighteen sho ran away from

Hon. David Meekiaon la well known, not only in his own State but tbroughont
America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms aa Mayor
of the town in which he lives, during which tune be became widely known aa the
founder of the Meekiaon Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He waa elected to the Fifty-fifth
Oongreaa by a very large majority, and ia the acknowledged leader of bis party is
his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising atateaman.
Catarrh, with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, waa his only uneonquereel
foe. For thirty yeara he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy.
At laat Peruna cam to the rescue, and ha dictated the following letter to Dr. Hart
roan aa the result:

THE season of catching cold is upon na.
The cough and the sneeze and nasal
twang are to be heard on every hand. The
origin of chronic catarrh, the moat com
mon and dreadful of diaeaaes, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
erally begins. A person catchea cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold
fenerally starts in the head and throat,
'hen followa aenaitiveneaa of the air pas
aagea which incline one to catch cold very
easily. At Inat the person has a cold all
tha while seemingly, more or leas discharge
from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up.
fn'l feeling in the head and aorc, inflamed
t...jat.
The best time tn treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of l'eruna prop
erly used never faila to cure a common
cold, tbua preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pe
runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh be
comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot
tle is necessary to complete a cure. Pe
runa haa cured eves innumerable of ca
tarrh of twenty years' standing. It ia the
beat, if not the only internal remedy for
chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention ia far better than cure.
Every person aubject to catching cold
should take l'eruna at once at the alight
eat aymptom of cold or aore throat at this
season of the year and thus prevent what
ia almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.
The Birds' Breakfast-Table.

many Hudson River valley birds are
fed winter after winter at Cherrycroft.
Cherrycroft Is the home of Amelia E.
Barr, the writer, and stands on the
banks of the Hudson near Cornwall.
The hospitality of Cherrycroft Is so
widely known among its bird neighbors
near and far that every fall Mrs. Barr
lays In grain, corn, and hickory-nuts by
the bushell to Drovlde for her feathered
guests. Among the Interesting Inci
dents of this 'pretty hospitality Isirbel
Gordon Curtis recounts the apprecia
tion of Chorrycroft's generosity shown I
during tho blizzard ot 1888.
There are 190.227 professional beg

pality demands a percentage upon the
collections. Seville Is the only city
In the kingdom which forbids begging
