HIS ONE WEAK SPOT. EATIXG CHERRIES UP A TREE. INDIAN EARTHQUAKE IDEA Prominent Minnesota Merchant Cured to Stay Cured. O. C. Hiiyden, ot O. C. Hayden & Co., dry goods merchants, of Albert Lea, Minn., says: "I was so lame that I could hardly walk. There was an unac countabls weakness ot the back , and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and w as very uncomforta ble at night. As my ( health was-, good In ; every other way 1 i could not understand this trouble. It was just as if all the strength had gone from my back. After suffering for some time I be gan using Doan's Kidney Tills. The remedy acted at once upon the kid neys, and when normal action was restored the trouble with my back disappeared. I have not had any re turn of it." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

The average city business man without physical impediments to fight egaiiis,txcan probably pet along suc cessfully on such an exercise schedule as the following: 1. Five minutes each dav cf pure ly muscular exercise, such as can be taken perfectly well in one's room without any special apparatus. 2. Short inlcnals d.irir.g the day of fresh air, br.rk walking, (Hip breath ing. This can h'.i be secured in the regular order of the ('.ay's business. A man can easily spend as much es half an hour walking out ;f doors every day. This is lor heart, lungs and digebticn. 3. The recervalicn rt at least one day a week for rest and rtcreat'oa, for being out of doors, for playing games, etc. This is essential. This is for both body and mind. A man who thinks he can pit along with out at least one vacation time a week elmpjy proves his ignorance. World's Work. Call That Britain Fears.

' "I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first it would break out only in winter. Then it finally came to stay. 1 had three good doctors to do all they could, but none of them did any good, i then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and was completely cured. My hands were raw ail over, inside' and out, and the eo ReiDa was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, together with the Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time 1 had used the third bottle 1 was entirely well. I had a good appetite and was fleshier than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to get the Cuticura Remedies, and get well quicker than all the doctors in the State could cure you. Mrs. 11. E.

Sixty-two mines employing 10,809 men, or considerably more than half the total number, reported 10 hours as the length of the working day; 30 mines, employing 3,320 men, reported nine hours and 24 mines, employing 1,009 men, reported eight hours. Three mines work their men nine and at half hours and two mines work them ei;ht and a half hears. fit Ants Live on Lire. In their migration from plant to plant the lice are often aided by their foster-mothers, the ants, for many species are carefully cared for and guarded by the ever diligent ants. A peculiar, sweetish liquid called "hon ey dew," Is secreted by the aphides of which the ants are extremely fond. To secure this they herd the aphides, much as if they were little green cat tle. Frequently an ant may be seen tapping an aphid with her antennae, upon which a drop of the honey dew is exuded and quickly lapped up. Thus, the ants are probably entirely responsible for carrying the young aphides which affect the strawberry roots in TJelaware, Maryland, New Jersey and elsewhere, from the fo liage down to the roots,' and for car rying thein from plant to plant, as trie plants wither from their injury. The melon louse is similarly carried ny the ants f morilhl2S394590$P by the ants from hill to hill. But most remarkable of all is the case of the corn-toot aphis, which lays its eggs in ants' nests in the fall, where they are carefully guarded all winter and in the spring the young aphides are carried by the ants to the roots of their favorite food plants. E. D. Sanderson, in Garden Magazine. To Confine lings in Pasture. Can you give a plan for a movable fence ,o use in confining hogs while pasturing? Answer Where lumber is avail- ab'e, a triangle of four-inch boards may be made i'or footings, and three feet or three and cue-half feet fence panels placed in them. The bottom boards of panel might be seven inches wide. It and the top boards should be six inches longer than the middle boards, which may be placed four inches apart. The panels may be made ten or twelve feet long, two Inch notcnes are sawed in the centre of the boUo board of the triangle and the top of it to receive the panels. The triangles or foot holders of the panels may be anchored by stakes t the bottom and long poles wired on the panels along the bottom to prevent the pigs moving it out of line. Care of Creamery Milk. In response to the Produce Re view's request for instructions to pa trons as to the best care of milk from the stable to the creamery, the following directions were prepared: This is a very important question, and every farmer and butter or cheesemaker Bhould give it his ut most attention. If the milk comes from a healthy cow, and is kept in a clean and sanitary place and given proper care, then every graduate of any dairy school is able to make good butter or cheese to grade extra. This very subject came up in this factory three years ago, and I wrote out the following rules, which I handed to the patrons, and the result was a success:- Remove the milk of every cow at once from the stable to a clean, dry room, where theairispure and sweet. Do not allow cans to remain in sta bles while they are being filled. Strain the milk through a metal gauze and a flannel cloth or layer of cotton as soon as it is drawn. Aerate and cool the milk as soon as strained. The milk should be aired first. This must be done in pure air, and it should then be cooled to about sixty degrees Fahrenheit, or temperature of the water. Never close a can containing warm milk which has been aerated. If cover' is left off the can, a piece of cloth or mosquito' netting should be used to keep out the insects. Milk should be held in tanks of fresh, cold water (flowing water pre ferred) in a clean, dry, cold room. It should be stirred with a tin stirrer often enough, to prevent forming a thick cream layer. Keep the night milk under shel ter, so rain cannot get into the cans. In warm weather hold it in a tank of fresh water. Never mix fresh, warm milk with that which has been cooled. Do not allow milk to freeze. Cleanliness and cold are the only preventives seeded in the milk for this purpose. All milk should be in good condi tion when delivered. When cans are hauled far they should be full, and carried in a spring wagon. In hot weather cover the cans, when moved In a wagon, with a clean, wet blank et or canvasB. These directions might he used to gooct advantage oy tnose wno are occupied in making dairy products at home, for we all realize that Al a: End Piece. Complete Panel. dairy products can only be mads from milk that has been taken the best care of from the moment it leaves the cow. Suggestions About Dairying. It is a mistake to let milk cool be fore separating, as it Invariably en tails a 'oss of butter fat. Separation should take place immediately after milking. On the Island of Jersey, the home of the Jersey cattle, no attention is paid to the color of the animal, the great aim of the best breeders being a graceful form and grand milking qualities. There are many colors there, from the silver gray down to the common red and white and a few, very few, black. Now is the time to decide what shall be grown for the late summer feeding to keep up the flow of milk. In estimating the value of a given food, take into consideration the di gestible part only. The share of the protein for instance that, under or dinary circumstances, passes through .the cow undigested, is of no value so far as she is concerned and should not be counted upon in calculating the amount of material she would receive in her daily ration. Aside from alfalfa, corn of course Is among the best forage plants, but cow peas, kaffir corn, sorghum and millet are worthy of attention. The dairy cow should be bred for generation in milking lines; she should be of a typical dairy tpye and a strong vigorous constitution and milking capacity which are nearly always inherited qualities. Wherever cows are kept, the cream Is regarded as the Important part of the milk, while the skim, milk goes to the pigs or poultry. Of course, it is utilized and ultimately comes around as food, but It may be better to make a more direct use of it. The skim milk contains a valuable portion of the most nutritious food. In taking the cream, only a portion of thenutri ment is removed. The skim milk is allowed to become slightly sour, or clabbered. The pan Is then set on a cool part of the stove to warm gently, or on the top of a kettle ot boiling water. It should get no warmer than the heat of new mill:, when the whey will appear clear and separate from the curd. When repa ration takes place, pour the whole Into a bag of thin material and hang to drain. When it ceases to drip, turn the curd from the bag and mix with salt and a little cream. The Epitomist. Suggestions to Farmers. It pays to be amiable In the cow stable. Never strike a cow. Never speak roughly to her. Anything irregular affects the per centage of butter fats. Pet the cows; pet the heifers; give them a little sugar with the salt. Sugar will help to gentle any cow that is inclined to be nervous and wild. Try it. A new milker will at first get less miik from a cow than one to whom the animal is accustomed. In no section of the country should a poultry house be so constructed that fowls in it will be subjected to draughts. In buying a horse reject one with scraggy hips. , They never do credit to feeding, particularly if also slnck in the loins. The larger the animal the larger must be the sustenance ration, which must be deducted from the feed be fore the profit begins. After the harvest work Is finished up i3 a good time to put in a drain age where needed. This is some thing that should be done thoroughly and well, and not hurriedly. In order to keep poultry. It is not necessary that they be allowed to run around the kitchen door. They will do just as well if the table scraps are carried to them elsewhere. Reject a horse with forelegs not straight. They will not stand wear. Stand behind the horse as he walks away from you and you will be able to notice these defects it they exist. Good profit can be made on poul try raising as an Independent enter prise, but up to a certain limit poul try meat and eggs can be produced more cheaply on the farm than any place else. Oatmeal, boiled and made irlo a gruel and added to the sweet skimmed milk, is one of the best foods for calves. , Add a little flax seed jelly, and your calves will grow like weeds. The 'draft horse has been la. de mand in our c: rket for many years and will ccnMtue to bring good prices when other breeds are down in price. The amateur horseman will do well to bear this point in mild in starting in the business of horse breeding. According to a Californian profes sor, fowls can be fattened rapidly through the agency of electric light. Every three hours during the night the light is turned on, causing the misguided fowls to come off their perches and eat a hearty breakfast. This seems to be forcing matters a little too strong. British officers report from Zululand that the experimental use of camels in the transportation service is, thus far, a gratlfjiug success. Eating cherries up a tree!

Of late years our people have come to realize the fact that a man s room or a boy's room is as necessary to the properly conducted household as the lady's boudoir. These rooms, by common consent, are known as "dens." A deh usually consists of a small space, sometimes nothing more than an alcove, where the men or boys of the house may retreat, and the den is usually decorated with an abundant display ot yachting flags, college col ors, trophies of the hunt and ath letic field, fishing-rods, guns, etc., with probably a desk and an easy chair. But, as the wealth of the country increases, and luxuries multi ply, the den gradually assumes a more and more primitive condition. This is the natural result of the re action against C:e surrounding effete luxury of the household. The surprise den is designed to supply a want suggested by many let ters requesting ideas on how to dec orate and fix up a den in one's house. The surprise den is constructed so that one may open the door from the dining-room, the drawing-room, or the library, as the case may be, and usher the guests into a primitive pioneer cabin.

The Course of Seismic Disturbances as Accounted for by the Original American. "When I lived among the Dakotas," said an old army officer, "I found men who, like Buddha, gave seven years of their lives to prayer and fasting, that they might become pure in the sight of God, or the Great Spirt, as they call that b'flng," says the Seattle Times. "After tliey have proved themselves before their people by performing so-called miracles, such as holding the hands and arms In boil ing water and not being burned, shot with poisoned arrows and not being harmed, bitten by rattlesnakes and not poisoned nnd many other tests that 1 have witnessed, they are ac cepted as holy or wise men. The Indians believe thnt they- can- get the word direct from God, or the Great Spirit, the same as the wise men and seers of old used to do. I have asked these intelligences to tell me about the cause of earth quakes and tidal waves, and they ex plain It like this: "They say volcanoes are the safety valves of the earth; that the rim of the earth is gradually cooling. As it cools it contracts, making the pres sure on the hot lava In the interior greater. At last something must give way, the rim must crack open, or the volcanoes must burst forth and emit this compressed lava. "Sometimes It is relieved in one way, sometimes In another. Should the earth crack In luldocean. where the crust Is usually thinner, then the waters of the ocean fill In, nnd there Is a great exposion as the water strikes the great bed of hot lava, large masses of the rim are thrown up, the Islands appear. Sometimes they stay on the surface of the ocean, sometimes they fall back and are agnn covered with water, but mat upheaval so lifts the water that a great wave is started for the shore that carries death and destruction in Its way. "Many of the old safety valves in the earth are now closing up; only a few remain. The crust is becom ing so thick that the cooling process Is more slow." Oil Finish for Wood. A good, durable finish for wood can be obtained by soaking the ar ticle In linseed oil for a week and then rubbing with an oil-soaked cloth a few minutes each day for about two weeks. This solidifies and preserves the work, and gives a much more durable finish than French polishing. FITS,St.Vitu8'Dance:Nervous Diseases per- manentlycured by Dr. Kline's (treat Nerve Kestnrer.
