His Glass Eye. '
Two men at Chanute engaged In
a. fight the other day and one, by a
fierce blow, destroyed one of the
other man's eyes. The man who lost
his eye had the other man arrested
on the charge of mayhem. It devel
oped In the evidence that the eye
which was destroyed was a glass eye,
and the defence claimed that the
charge of mayhem could not be main
tained The court was of the same
opinion, and it was suggested that a
charge of malicious mischief be sub
stituted In its stead, for breaking the
glass eye, or in other words, suggest
ed the judge, "for breaking the win

KIDNEY JROUBLES
Increasing Among Women, Bat
Sufferers Need Not Despair
THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE
Of All the diseases known, with which
tho femaleorganism is aliiicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal, and statistics
show that this disease is on the increase
among women.
Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treat
ment for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling1
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kid neys or notices a brick
dust sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving Jiev life.
For proof, rend what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
" I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure. A derangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney troi'Mn. The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and I made up
my mind I could not live. 1 finally decided
totry Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Com
pound as a last resort, and I nm to-day a well
woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I
tell every suffering woman abont my case."

Sell the Weeds.
Any farmer who Is troubled with a
superabundance of weeds upon bis land
could probably do nothing better than
turn these weeds Into mutton and
march them off to market on four legs.
The sheep will greatly assist you in
getting rid of those weeds, and will
at the same time put n cash vniue
on them which makes it quite an In
ducement to any man to bike the sheep

Fend Mixed With Colis.
A sample of wheat fed with admix
tures wiik found by the Massachusetts
Station which contained a large quan
tity of ground coin cobs, when the
label indicated that it contained corn
nnd cob meal. Another sample was
found to consist largely of ground
wheat screenings, with relatively small
amounts of corncob?, oat clippings,
wheat bran and middlings. A tend
ency to add to mixed feeds inferior
shrunken wheat grains, resulting from
tho ravages of rust, was noted, and
consumers are cautioned to lie on their
guard against such deceptions.
Burnt Attacks Late Sown Orntn.
Early sowing of cereals when the
soil temperature Is low gave in experi
ments with barley, oats and spring
wheat less smut than late sowings. In
n similar manner, less smut will be
found on those cereals grown on a
cold clay soil than on n loamy soil, and,
as a rule, the greatest amount of dis
ease will bo found in cereals grown
on sandy humus soils. A high tempera
ture of the soil during 1 he first week
nfcr sowing favors the germination
of the smut porrs. and consequently
the infection of tho cereals. Cereals
will gerlninnte and begin their growth
at a temperature br-low that at which
the fungus' can develop.
Flints Fov Mm Dairyman's tt.ve.
The progressive dairyman must now
have a silo and grow suitable crops for
tilling it. Ensilage has done more than
any other one thing to increase the
profits in dairying, (iood tools are
necessary, and when we have a silo,
corn harvester, ensilage cuiter, etc.,
we must have a separator, either hand
or power. All these are not yet found
on the small dairy farms, but they
will come as soon as the dairymen lind
out what increased protit they bring.
Alfalfa is one of the hst dairy feeds
and should lie enipioyed as green for
age, pasture and liny by every dairy
man in sections where it will grow.
Infectious absorption is a disease
that is much dreaded by dairymen.
The spread of the disease in a herd
usually is due to a contaminated male.
A diseased female contaminates tiie
male, and as she often fails to get
with calf, is returned several limes,
causing serious trouble. In infections
abortion the expulsion of the foetus is
usually without labor pains and this
may serve as n guide to distinguish
the contagious form from that caused
by accident. Chicago 1'aruier's Voice.

Why Soma Farmer! Fall.
The Drover's Journal explains the
cause ns follows:
In every agricultural community
there are prosperous farmers and hus
bandmen who appear to be on the de
cline financially. We have in mind
a youug'mau who bought a 180-aere
farm ui'.l assumed a mortgage of
$50U0 payable in installments in ten
years. He was the sou of a thrifty
farmer and married the daughter of
a wealthy neighbor. He was not wor
ried about Lis interest or payments,
as he knew that he couid obtain finan
cial' assistance at home, if necessary.
He had received a good business edu
cation and came to his task with all
the experience that be had acquired
while assistiug to operate his father's
estate, Ue bad money enough to buy
1 Vf8
" jr 1. 1
agricultural Implements, horses and
cows to operate a dairy farm. His
crops were always put in in season
and thoroughly cultivated. He car
ried his milk to a crenmery and raised
nil bis enlves. He produced a good
many hogs, and after three years ap
peared to be selling hogs and cattle
every month in the year.
All the stock on his farm appeared
thrifty and bis dairy herd Increased
in quality and quantity of production.
Low places on the furm were tiled nnd
by Judicious management of fertilizers
the land yielded Increased crops nil
nually. From the first Interest nnd
annual payments were met from the
resources of the farm, nnd Instead of
extending the loan before the final In
stallment was due he had purchased
and paid for an adjoining eighty acres.
This achievement was accomplished by
skillful management of his estate, a
study of what kind of farming was
best ndapted to his land nnd carrying
out all his plans with strenuous pcr
severauce. Contrasting with this example of sue.
cessful agricultural operations was a
neighbor who had inherited nu ad
joining UOO-acre farm, of equal fertility
and productiveness. This wealthy
farmer's son bad no natural talent for
agriculture, nnd after living on his in
herited estate for thirty-four years,
died actually poorer In personal prop
erty than when he came into possession
of his patrimony. WIJli the resources
of a splendid farm at his command
he neglected to improve his opportuni
ties, and instead of leaving a largo
bank deposit account to be distributed
among his heirs, he left the estate In
cumbered with debts and in A dilapi
dated condition.
Success in agriculture depends ns
much on resourceful management ns In
the fertility of the soil. One man is
always seeking more knowledge ap
pertaining to his profession, and so
operates his land ns a business propo
sition that he achieves a brilliant suc
cess, while another man, environed
with greater opportunities for creating
wealth by neglecting to improve Ills
chances, scores a signal linauclal fail
ure. CnH-lialtnr.
The extrmieiy high prices now paid
for serviceable horses make colt-raising
quite profitable. Many farmers, realiz
ing this, are keeping more brood mares.
On every farm one or two or even more
additional teams are needed to carry
on tho regular routine work of planting
and harvesting. Tho brood innre can
be made to fill this need, nnd mean
while raise n good colt. A good colt
will moio than pay for its mother's
keep and she can do her full part In
tending the corn if she and her colt
are properly fed. Corn and timothy
hay alone will not supply the necessary
food for the colt or its mother. It is
a one-sided ration and they will not
thrive well unless other foods are given
with the carl ion a coons ration. Ilran
and oats are excellent for reeding with
corn. The horse will eat n large
amount, the variety will lie such that
the nnimal will not tire of it, and In
addition they are good for the produc
tion of milk. Clover hay, if free from
mold and dust, will prove a better
bulky food than timothy. It, too. Is a
milk-producer,' nnd furnishes flesh
forming matter for the growing colt.
To do her part in the team and at tho
snme time raise n profitable colt, the
marc must have every attention. She
will not stand abuse. She should have
a pasture during the night, a place to
rest In the open, and sho must have
good grooming.
When the ' colt Is quite young it
should be taught to stand with the
hnlter nnd be mndo perfectly gentle.
It is much ensier to push a colt out of
your way than it is to watch it con
tinually that it may not run over you
trying to get away. A colt made gentle
at first, never forgets its kind treat
ment in early life. Little difficulty is
experienced in breaking such a colt.
When the colt becomes gentle, it will
soon learn to ent. If a good trough Is
provided, separate from that of its
mother, it will eat from it. After It
learns to call for Its feed nnd ent suffi
cient quantity of oats nnd bran to do
it a great deal of good, soon it will
eat shelled corn mixed with the onts
and bran. If taught to cat well and
made gentle, the colt will make a satis-,
factory growth nnd its mother assist
in growing the crops. They nre in tho
way but liltle when they become gen
tle. They may lie left nt the barn dur
ing work hours, but must have their
water nnd food lust- nt rocnlnt oe
work horses. If tho colt can be taught
to stay to pasture away. from Its moth
er during work hours, it is even better
than keeping it nt the barn. If the
mother is worked moderately and well
attended to, sho will grow a colt that
will prove the best money-maker the
farmer enn produce from bis farm. W.

Walnuts and Butternuts.
The city boy on a visit to the coun-t.-y
Is often puzzled In trying to dis
tinguish black walnuts and butternuts
In the green state. The leaves are
almost alike, being compound and hav
ing a variable number of leaflets ar
ranged on a long stem. The butter
nut atom has from nine to 17 leaflets,
and the black walnut from 15 to 23.
The teeth on the latter are larger and
sharper than those on the butternut,
and lack the fuzzy stem, but the real
distinguishing feature is the odor;
having onco smelled the crushed
leaves of a bntternut and a black wal
nut, a person can never fail to know
them thereafter. From Edwin W.
Foster's "Our Friends the Trees," in
St. Nicholas.
Poetic Rosalie May.
Rosalie May had poetic Ideas ind
was always trying to introduce them
into her daily life, to the amusement
and sometimes disgust of her family.
She kept right on, however, in her
work of following up the beautiful.
One lovely Juno morning when the
family were enjoying their last bits
of sleep, says the New York Sun, Ros
alie May arose and slipped out Into
the garden. She knocked over some
thing in the hall on . her way and
heard her father grunt out his favor
ite ejaculation as she passed his room,
but she kept on.
She gathered quantities of sweet
peas, all with the dew on. Returning
to tho house she filled a glass bowl
with them and placed them in the cen
tre of the table. Others she scat
tered nil over the table in careless
profusion, ns she had read In that wo
man's journal of sweetness and light
by which she guided her life.
Then she tied up the napkins with
pink ribbons, thrusting a spray of
sweet peas In each, and surveyed hor
work with pride.
Papa came down a little late that
morning. The family were waiting
for him and he was cross, having lost
two collar buttons and cut himself
while shaving.
He gave one look at the now wilt
ing flowers and at the pink bow In
his napkin. His comment was short,
but sufficient:
"What's all this nonsense?" he
snorted.
Rosalie May never decorated the
table again.
Mink and Rabbit.
The ways of life of the weasel, or
bloodsucker, are not fully under
stood, and tho killing of these rabbits,
In particular, presented most inter
lng problems. How did the minks
manage to catch them? In every
case the rabbit was apparently run
down in fair, open running. In one
case in particular the mink had
chased the rabbit across a celery
swamp, as smooth and level as a
dance hall floor. Whatever hindrance
there was In the foot of snow 'would
have hindered the mink more than
the rabbit. The mink is as slow a
runner as the rabbit is swift. I have
seen minks run several times, and
their peculiar meastiFing-worra gait,
takes them along about as fast as a
man can run. The rabbit cannot
only go with lncredltable speed, but
can course for hours. And yet the
mink is able to run down the swift
rabbit. The rabbit seems to give
up the race; it would look almost
as if some unknown law of nature
made him the prey of minks, as if
he felt that was his destiny, and did
not try to escape from it. In the
cases we observed, the Jump of the
rabbit grew shorter and shorter until
It became little more than a helpless
hop. The marks in the snow indi
cated that the mink was not being
dragged by the rabbit, but that the
mink did not overtake his victim un
til the latter, for no apparent reason,
had given up the race. And yet a
fox seldom catches a rabbit, and prob
ably never in open running.
Then It would seem as if these
bloodsuckers have some power of
which we know nothing. As it is,
only one explanation can be offered
why so slow-running an animal as a
mink, or weasel, can catch as swift
an animal as a rabbit.
We know that the mink does mot
tire out the rabbit by following him
leisurely, maintaining his slower gait
relentlessly, never giving his victim
chance to eat, and so by the Blow,
sure process of work and werry
wearing out poor bunny.
Hence it must be that the rabbit
has. In common with other small ro
rota; mat terrible, demoralizing,' or
panicky, fear of all of the weasel
family a fear bo great and, bewild
ering that once a mink Is on its
trail the rabbit becomes paralyzed
with It, and instinctively knowing
that he cannot escape by running in a
hole, gives up.
If this Is . 8, then there Is a law
In nature that we do not fully under
stand. A law akin to that which
makes a rabbit a coward and a wood
chuck brave to his dying gasp. A
ferret put into a gray squirrel's hole
was at once driven out by the Indig
nant squirrel. A rabbit has as sharp
teeth as a squirrel, and surely might
defend Itself as well, as a young
woodchuck. Yet the latter will. face
unflinching two dogs nnd a man.
After his back Is broken, and he is
helpless, will he hold up his head
and whistle a fierce defiance. Yet
a rabbit will not even try to escape,
apparently, from an animal it couU
just as well elude as not! It seems
almost as if the rabbit were meant
for food for other animals. Nature
having given him great reproductive
powers and unlimited food and then
saddled him with some strange fatali
ty that makes him play his part, In
spite of himself, in the general
scheme of wild life. John Burroughs

Grandma's Birthday.
It was Grandma Rand's birthday.
Every one in the family had bought
her a present, the kind of present
that Aunt Rachel called "suitable,"
everyone except poor little Hobby.
"What is a 'suitable' present?"
asked Robby, who loved Grandma
Rand dearly, and who had fifty cents
to spend for her.
"A suitable present Is whatever an
old lady of seventy-nine would need
and like to have," said Aunt Rachel:
"such as a shawl, for Instance, or a
fuot-warmer, or bed-slippers, or a new
pair of spectacles, or a book of
hymns. We have nil those things,
Bobby, hut you can buy a nice hand
kerchief for grandma for your fifty
cents n plain hemstitched one with
H' on it. Would you like that?"
"No, I thank you, Aunt Rachel,"
snld Hobby. "I've thought of a suit
able present, but perhaps It costs too
much."
Hobby went down the street two
blocks and then turned to his right.
On the very next corner was the big
florist's shop. Bobby was not a regu
lar customer, but the young man be
hind the counter smiled pleasantly
nt him.
"What can I do for you this after
noon?" asked tiie young man.
Hobby put his hands on the count
er and drew himself up till his feet
were off the floor and his head was
quite high, nearly as high as the
young man's.
"It is my Grandma Hand's birth
day," snid Hobby, "nnd I have fifty
cents to buy her a suitable present.
Are those pink roses in the window
nioro than that apiece? Those love
ly big pale ones?"
"That's exactly what they are,"
said the young man; "just fifty
cents."
"Oh, Isn't that lucky!" said Bobby.
"Will you please choose the very
best one for Grandma Rand?"
"I certainly will," said the young
man, and he did. First he put the
rose in soft, glossy thin paper, and
then In stiff, thick white paper,
pinned over at each end with a pin
that had a pink glass tip. The paper
package was almost as tall as Bobby.
"Thank you very much," snld Bob
by to the young man. "She's to
have her presents at supper-time;
she doesn't come down to breakfast,
and I'm at school at noon. We have
supper early, because she and I play
checkers before we go to bed. Good
by!" "Good-by, and many happy returns
to your grandma!" said the young
man, politely.
"Whnt in the world!" cried Aunt
Rachel and Aunt Susan and Aunt
Jane, when Bobby handed his long
paper parcel to Grandma Rand at
supper-time. They had hurried home
from a call, and had forgotten to ask
Bobby about the present. He was
glad. The three aunts looked a
little disapprovingly, but Bobby kept
his eyes on Grandma Rand's face.
The shawl and tho foot-warmer and
the bed-slippers and tho book of
hymns and the new spectacles were
In her lap, but she let them all slip
to the floor.
"A posy!" said Grandma Rand,
soft, to herself. "My dear husband
always brought me a posy on my
birthday."
Then she drew Bobby close and
kissed him.
"It Is a suitable present to match
your cheeks," said Bobby, "with many
happy returns." Elizabeth Lincoln

An Anecdote of Rachel.
At the breaking out of the Crimean
war Ellsa Rachel, the celebrated
French tragedienne, was In St Peters
burg. Just before leaving the Russian
capital some ot the officials of the city
gave a banquet in her honor.
At the end of the feast one of the
Russian officers, a nobleman of high
rank, said to Rachel, in a bantering
sort of way:
"We will not bid you 'good-bye' but
merely 'au revoir,' for we will soon
be in Paris, dining with you."
"Monsieur," replied Rachel, "France
is not rich enongh to treat all her
prisoners of war to dinners."

The Libraries of the Country.
The United States commissioner of
education lias in his annual report a
chapter on the libraries of the country.
Only those containing 1,000 volumes
or more are counted. There are nine
libraries that contain more than 300,
000 volumes each, and 59 that have
nvcr 100,000 each. It is shown that
the North Atlantic States contain more
than half the entire number of libra
ties enumerated, 3,000 libraries con
taining in th3 aggregate, 27,805,980
volumes. New York is at the head
of the States, having 934 libraries,
With 9,079,803 volumes; Massachusetts
next, with 624 libraries and 7,616,994
volumes; Pennsylvania follow.? with
491 libraries, containing 4,580,312
volumes. Those three States have
nearly 30 per cent of the libraries and
40 per cent of tho number of volumes
reported for the whole country. Tak
ing the country as a whole, there is
one library containing at least 1,000
volumes for every 11,000 of the popu
