If a name counts for anything Mitchel Jasper, an Indian living In Delta county, Mich., took a flyer di rectly In the face of fate when he ap peared before the County Clerk In Iuscanaba and secured a license to marry Mary Kick-a-Hole-in-the-Sky. Jasper's prospects are further en dangered by the fact that the name of his future mother-in-law is Afraid-of-No-Man. The deceased father was known as John ICat-Them-Alive.

The French people, who used to be consumers chiefly of light wines, are turning more and more to stronger beverages.

There is in Connaught, Ireland, a remarkable curiosity which gives an example of official oversight. When the grunt famine of 1847 was upon the land the government of the day conceived the idea of opening a line of navigation from Galway to Ballina, by way of Ixnigh Corrib and the western coast. From Cong a canal was actually made to Ix)ugh Mask as part of the general scheme. The work gave a great deal of employment and so far the canal served Its pur pose. But when it was completed it was found the canal would not hold water. The fact that the rock of the district Is of a very porous char acter had been overlooked. Raising Crops by Electricity. By spreading currents from a statis tical electrical machine over a plot of growing carrots Professor Lemstroem of Helsingfors, according to B. Tolks dorf in the Leipsic lllustrirte Zeitung, has increased the yield by 39 per cent during the first year and 90 per cent in succeeding years, as compared with similar plots not electrically treated. On small parcels of land experiments with potatoes, the currents being gen erated in the earth by means of cop per and zinc plats sunk at intervals and connected by insulated wires above the growing vines, have record ed an increased yield of from 60 to 100 per cent. New York Times. Verdict for Dr. Pierce AGAINST THE Ladies' Home Journal. otn Goal ji Gas i J J OH. Sending truth after a lie. It is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting its boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack iiKm Dr. R. V. Pierce and his "Favorite Prescription " published In the May (HXtt) nunilier of the Ladles' Home Journal, with its great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with its incon spicuous heading, published two months later. It was boldly chargod in the sland erous and libelous article that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful ingredi ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladles' Home Journal, for . liO.noo.no damages. Dr. Piorce alleged that Mr. Bok, the editor, maliciously published tho article containing such false and defamatory matter wit the Intent of injuring his buslncsinurthennore, that no alcohol, or other rvJurious. or habit-forming, drugs nere, contained in his ."Fa- iript.lon"; that said medicine f6m native medicinal roots and no harmful ingredients what- id that Mr. Bok's malicious state- were wholly and absolutely false'. Farm Topics TRAP FOR ENGLISH SPARROWS. In many localities the English spar rows have become a great nuisance. To poison them is dangerouB. To make an effective trap, buy wire screening and make a boz cage. Cover the top with thin boards, make a large, round hole In centre, Insert ing a wire funnel just small enough to pass through at lower end. Bait well. The bird lighting on the top of the cage will see the bait through the funnel and readily pass through. V. A. Brown, In The Epltomlst. SWEET POTATOES. Sweet potatoes succeed best on a deep and rich sandy soil with a warm exposure. The ground should be well plowed and harrowed fine. In each hill plant two sets, covering about two inches deep and as they grow keep drawing dirt around them. They are among the very best vege tables for table use. Select a bright clear day for digging, let them dry a day or two, then place In boxes with paper with a small quantity of slacked lime among the potatoes. Keep during winter in a store room. Miss Bessie L. Fretwell, in 'The Epltomlst. CURE FOR THRUSH. Very many horses suffer with thrush, or swollen and cracked feet, often the effects of laminlties, etc. The remedlos given by veterinarians, consisting of standing the feet In sul phate of copper, etc., are complicated and difficult to follow. Here Is a sim ple and never failing remedy for this class of ailments, so far as local ap plications go. Raise the foot and pour on some fine table salt, which should be pressed Into all the cracks and openings of the foot. Over this pour a small quantity of coal oil, holding the foot up until It soaks in well. One or two applications will prove effectual. G. M. Humphreys. BRONZE TURKEYS.

One of the great arguments for rotation of crops is the eradication of weeds. Weeds we will always have, so the problem is to reduce them to the minimum. Some weeds persist in evading the corn'cultivator, but succumb to grass crops; other weeds, as the cockle burr, niustart, etc., thrive in grass and grain crops, but are easily gotten rid of with a cultivator. But with all our careful work, some rapid spreading weeds persist in coming in from neighboring fields. The main problem of getting a stand of alfalfa is a matter of clean land. Alfalfa refuses to grow among rank weeds, but let it get a good start, and weeds have no chance whatever. Rural World. CURE FOR LUMP-JAW. The following, which is clipped from a bulletin, may1 be taken for what It Is worth: "A dram of iodide of potash is given twice a day for from two weeks to twenty days. For cattlo weighing 1200 pounds or more the dose is somewhat increased, and lessened for calves. If pus is present in the lump, it should be let out by incision. In a few refractory cases a second peri od of treatment may be required after resting for ten days. About ei;;nty per cent, of recoveries may be expected. Affected animals should be kept away from the healthy and off the pasture field, lu the case of milk cows, the milk should not be used." aom EE retrnc tion printed In- s;i r hey were jui ced t' i.ckiii .vTlTd i iid ulitttincu analyses o "l1 t.

Paris green and lead arsenate will effectually destroy cabbage worms, but In many cases those remedies have proved to be quite as deadly to the human cc-.sumer as to the worms and most cabbage raisers, rather than put human life in peril, resort to other less effective remedies. In Ger many fresh wood ashes Is largely used by sprinkling It on the cabbage while wet with dew, but in Holland, salt is used exclusively. The method is to sprinkle fine salt on the infested heads. From the moment the salt is applied the worms cease to feed and In an hour or two they drop from the neaas to tne grounds, uesuits qurj as good are obtained when salt f dissolved In water. Applied with a small syringe, the salt is very un pleasant to the worms and they will not stay where It Is. The salt does not kill them at once but It does so eventually by eating into their bod ies and rendering them unable to move. The salt, of course, washes bff every time the rain .falls bat this also happens with objectionable poi sons which no prudent perse wiM use.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent Is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like th pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syr.up of Figs has come Into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of Its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californlan blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
