Co.t or Growing Wheat. The United States Department of Agriculture has issued a summary made from estimates of 25,000 farm ers of the West and Northwest and of 4,000 experts of the department on the cost of growing wheat. The av erage cost per acre for the region cov ered is $11.69, while the average for Wisconsin is more than a dollar high, er, or $12.93. Ground rent is the heaviest single item, and estimated at nearly $3 per acre. The principal Items of cost have rema ned about normal during the past four or five years, being slightly higher where any change is noted, owing to increase ol cost of labor during the prosperous times from 1890 to 1892. During that period, however, the price of wheat fell nearly one-half. As a re sult either wheat production must bo restricted or a large part of it must be done at a loss. She Could Be Familiar Too. Mr. Justice O'Brien, when Attor ney General, was once examining a countrywoman, and thus addressed her: "Now.

Mr. John W.Thomas, Jr., of Theta, Term., is a man with a most interesting history At present he Is interested in blooded horses, for which Maury County is famous. 4, Fow people, I take it," said Mr. Thomas to a reportor who had asked him for the story of his life, "have passed through as remarkable a chaiQ of events as I have and remained nlivo to tell the story. 44 1t was along in 1884, when I was working in the silver mines of New Mexico, that my troublos bogan ;at flrst I suffered with in digestion, and so acute did the pains be come that I went to California for ray health, but tho trip did mo littlo good, and lully Im pressed with tho idea that my last day had nearly dawned upon mo, I hurried baok here to my old home to die. "From simple indigestion my malady de veloped into a chronic inability to take any substantial foo l, I was barely able to croep about, and ut times I was prostrated by spells of heart palpitntlon This condition continued until one year ago. "On tho 11th or April, 1893, I suddenly collapsed, and for days I was unconscious, in fact I was not fully myself until July. My condition on Soptomber Ist was simply hor riblo ; I weighed but seventy pounds, whereas my normal weight is ICS pounds. All over my body there were lumps from the size of a grape to the size of a walnut, my Angers wero cram pod so that I could not more than half straighten them. I had entirely lost control of my lower limbs and my nand trembled so thnt I could not drink without spilling the liquid. Nothing would remain on my stomach, and it seemed that I must dry up before many more days had passed. "I made another round of the physicians, calling in one after Ihe other, and by tho aid of morphine aud other medicines they gavo me, I managed to live though barely through the fall." Hero Mr. Thomns displayed his arms, and just above the elbow of each there was a largo irregular stain as large ns the palm of tho hand und oi a purple color ; tho space covered by the mark WHS sunken noarly to the bone. "That," said Mr. Thomas, * "is what the doctors did by putting morphine into mo. "On tho 1 Ith of December, 1893. just oigh months after I took permanently to bed —lt shall never forget the date—my* cousin, Joe Foster, of Carters' ('reek, called ou rne and gave me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying they had cured him of partial paralysis, with which I knew ho had all bot died. 1 followed his directions and began taking the medicine : as a result I stand boforo you to-day tho most surprised man on earth. Look at my hand, it is as steady as yours ; my lace has a healthy look about it ; I have been attending to my duties tor a month. Since I bogan takiug tho pills I have gained thirty pounds, and I am still gaining. All tho knots have disappeared from ray body except this little kernel hero in my palm. I have a good appetite and I am almost ns strong ns I ever was. "Yesterday I rode thirty-sevon miles on horseback ; I feel tired to-day but not sick. I used to have Irom two to four spells of heart palpitation every night ; since I began the use of the pills I havo had but four spells altogether. "I kuow positively thnt I was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, aud I beliuve firm ly that it is the most wonderful remedy in existence to-day, and every fact I havo pre sented to you is knowu to my neighbors as well as to myself, and they will certify to tho truth of mv remarkable cure." Dr. Willlnms' Pink Pills for Palo Teople are not a patent medicine in the sense that name implies.

Untlerstaml Your Agreements. Many of the disputes which arise between buyer and seller are due to the fact that in making a contract the terms are not clearly understood. In so common a matter as the buying and selling of goods it is necessary that all points relative to the trans action should he definitely stated. Some houses state distinctly on their bill heads the terms on which sales are made, so that tho buyer is com pelled to recognize the terms. There are many other contracts which come up in the course of busi ness which need a clearer understand ing than the act of buying goods. It is important that both parties should thoroughly understand the transac tion. There are publications devoted to contracts in which forms are given, but many of theso legal forms seem better devoted to obscuring than clearing up matters. In all transac tions it is necessary to come to a point and have that point clearly un derstood. Long arguments are not necessary, and the whole tendency of modern trade is to put things on a basis of brevity. It is advisable to make a written memorandum of agreements, for it will always be in evidence and save many future dis putes. The Serpent's Trick:. The power of continuing motion less with the lifted head projecting iorward for an indefinite time is one of tho most wonderful of the ser pents muscular lcats, and is one of the highest importance to the ani mal, both when fascinating its vic tim and when mimicking some inani mate object, as, for instanco the stem and bud of an aquatic plant; here it is only referred to on account of the effect it produces on tho hu man mind, as enhancing the ser pent's strangeness.

Eunice Hardy, an orphan—2o summers. The Colonel (seated alone and look ing down tho beach) —"Yes! It is Mrs. Mordaunt. What a handsome woman! What a dashing woman!" (Lapham enters, mopping his rubi cund countenance with his handker chief.) Lapham—"Whow-ow! My! But it's hot! Hello! Hello, Bob! (Looks down the beach.) Whit is it? A lire?" The Colonel "Oh! N-n—nun—uo oh ! Why, it's you, Morley ! This is an unexpected delight." (Rises, shakos Lupham's hand and at i do .vn ngaiu.) Lapham—"Where are all tho folks?" Tho Colonel (looking down tho beach ngaiu) "Down boatiug, or bathing, or somewhere. (Aside.) He's caught up to her. Confound his gray hairs and presumption. I be lieve the old fool is serious. (To Mor ley)—Aheui! Got too hot in town for you, did it? No wonder! I have campaigned it in Arizona in August, but it's nothing to Broadway on a day like this." Lapham—"Hot? Simply soothing, sizzling hoL! But you slim fellows shouldn't complain. Wait until you i weigh a hundred and seventy-five." The Colonel (pushing an electric j button) "You make me thirsty. Will you have a lemon and seltzer?" Lapham-"Very apropos! The quicker the better, Bob. I simply j made time iu order to get down here. ! Hotter it is, busier I am. I sail for London to-morrow at 11 for tho Atlas Company. Capital ten million and they've made mo tlioir attorney, Bob." The Colonel (endeavoring to be en thusiastic) — "Lucky dog! Every thing comes your way. We poor chaps in tho army never get any such chances." Lapham —"Where did you say Eunice was?" The Colonel—"Out with young Braclsleigh." Lapham (tuggingat his mustache) "Oh, the son of the millionaire!" The Colonel—"Yes. His head's as empty as his pocket is full." Lapham "Bob!" Tho Colonel - 4 4 Well ?" Lapham—"Bob, I camo down here to see Eunice—to—ah—settle a little matter. Eunice will be twenty-one before I return." The Colonel—"And you aro in a trap?" Lapham — 4 4 Yes— yes - that's it— that's it, Bob."

Run tho dogs down ! Don't bother about mo !' " (Roth us:o their handkerchiefs freely, principally about the eyes). Lapham "No, not that. You didn't understand me. I made a very lucky investment for Eunice—very lucky in vestment —very, Bob. Whew-ew! But it's hot!" Tho Colonel—"Y'cs." Lapham (suddenly ard anxiously) —Don't you ever let Eunice know a word—" The Colonel (rising in his chair and with emotion) "Lapham, after knowing me all these years, do you thiuk I am that sort of a man?" Lapham—"No, no, dear old fellow. I spoke before I thought. You see, Bob, I got very lonesone in my bach elor quarters, and—" The Colonel (aside) —"As I sus pected. He's after her, too. (To Morley)—Yes—yes; I'm listening." (A piece of paper flutters out of a window directly ovorhead and lands at Morley's feet; but neither he nor the Colonel sees it.) Lapham—"Ah! You sec, Bob, my care for Eunice lias brought me to to —" The Colonel —"Mrs. Mordaunt?" Lapham (absently) "Atino woman —very fine woman, Rob. Whew ! but it's hot!" The Colonol "Er-er—yes."

I had never thought of her in that respect. Besides, I can see that your military bearing has won her already." The Colonel—"Oh, no! Won't you have another lemon and seltzer, Mor ley?—if that waiter ever comes. That Atlas Company affair is the stroke of your life. (Jumps up and vigorously shakes Lapham's hand.) I am as happy about it as you are. It's great —simply great, and you deserve it. Deserve it all and more." Lapham "Bob, it's Eunice of whom I wish to speak to you. Let me say it frankly: I came down hero to ask her to be my wife. I do not want her un less sho wants me, and if eho should accept me because of what I have done for her and not because sho loves me, when I found it out I should be mis erable. You have seen us together, Bob. lam much older. You know I have never cared for society, and I'm a sort of back number in the art of courtship, I dare say. But, Bob, old fellow, do you think—sho cares for me?" The Colonel—' 'You want the truth?"

Lapham —"You didu't get my tele gram !" Eunice—"lt may be in my room. I have been out all day, lam so glad to seo you." Lapbau—"lt is very warm." Eunico—"Very. You must cool off with a dip. Tho water is perfect." Tho Colonel —"lf you will excuse me, Miss Hardy, I'll go down aud see why that lemon and seizor doesn't come. Tho waiters are tho awkwardest squad I ever saw. (Stops on the door sill.) Ah—Miss Hardy, have you—ah —seen Mrs. Mordauut?" Euuice—"Yes; sho will bo here soon. (Exit tho Colonel.) Oh, there's my purse. Tho Colonel's honesty is unquestioned." (Picks up her purse from tho chair in which tho Colonel was seated.) Lapham (aside)—"l may havo an other opportunity to bo alone with her. Possibly this gossip is untrue. I can't leave her without a word. (To Eunice)- Euuice, I must sail for Europe to-morrow, to be gone for a month." Eunice "And you'll not be hero for my birthday?" Lapham -"No. Eunice, I'll try to say it so you'll understand. It is something very serious. I have had it in my heart for a long time—" Eunice—"You look so warm and tired ! Take your dip first and you will be cooler, and you cau tell me iu better fashion. After diuner 1 will listen to the advice of my guardiau— (shaking her parasol at liini) —my ir reproachable guardian. I just rim up to get my purse, you know. Tho key to the boathonse is iu it.

As Lapham sits down ho sees tho paper at hu feet and picks it up.) Lapham—"Yes, yes. Bob is right. (Opens tho paper.) But it will be hard to give her up."

I'll speak to Mrs. Mordaunt." Lapham (going over to tho Colonel and laying his hand on his shoulder) "No ; you will not. Sho is a sensi ble girl, and if she loves him, let him havo her.

I understand that you will not say a word to Mrs. Mor dauut?" The Colonel—"Not a word." Lapham—"l em't boar to see her again—just now. I'll go at once." Tho Colonel—"I wish you would stay, but it is not becoming to urge. I know how I should feel if—puh-puh ah! You will be out at sea to-mor row, and that will brace you up." Lapham—"Ye-es. (Looks at his watch.) I can just catch tho next train." (Picks up his liat.) The Colonel—"But tho note? What are you going to do with it!" Lapham—"l have thought that out. I will bribo a servant to put it on Bradleigh's table. We can keep the secret, and neither of them will be dis turbed. Explain to Eunice that I was suddenly called away. I'll got her the best present in London, I can af ford." (Lapham starts toward the door and meets Eunice coming in.) Eunice—"The key wasn't in my purse. It must have dropped upon the floor—. Mr. Lapham! Are you ill ?" Lapham (trying to smile) —"No- just getting cooled off." Tho Colonel— "Excuse me, Miss Hardy, but I will go down and bring up that lemon and seltzer myself." (Exit tho Colonel.) Eunice—"Carrying that baby made you ill! It was Mrs. Miller's baby. 1 met her on the walk and sho told me all about it. Sho keeps tho little stand down at tho beach. I buy can dies from her for my youngsters there, and we gossip between bargainings. The train was suffocatingly hot; she was tired and the baby cried. You took it on your lap and winked at it that wonderful wink of yours —and it went to sleep—twenty pounds of it in your lap twenty miles." Lapham (uneasily)—" Please—ah 1 —don't talk about it." Eunice (assuming defianace) "But I will! Mrs. Miller is going to send you up some of licr wonderful lemon drops. (Laughs.) You see one nevei gets into these things that one doesn't get in deeply." Lapham—"l didn't intend to give you this note, but now —that—that you are here—i will." (He passes hci the note, which sho reads.) Eunice (blushing)—"lt's Mr. Brad sleigh's !" Lapham (choking a little) —"Yes— I found it under tho chair. I could not help opening it. I wish you joy!" Eunice—"Joy? Joy? Mr. Brad sleigh! (Laughs.) I'm not the Eunice. It's his Eunice, who is out in California. He made me his confessor and told me how she had put him on probation. He says I keep him from doing reckless things which he prom ised her ho would not do." Lapham—"Eunice—Eunico— I want to say, Eunico—to ask you, Eunice please do not let our relations in any way influence you in your answer. It may seem great presumption- " Eunice "What do you mean?" Lapham—"l mean—l moan —" (Ho takes the noto from hor hand, and, sitting down at the little tablo on tho piazza, crosses out Bradsleigh'e name and writes his own in its pluco. Then ho passes it to her.) Eunice—"l understand !" (The Colonel and Mrs. Mordaunt enter and pass to the other end of tho piazza. Eunice sits down at the tablo and writes on tho back of the letter.) Mrs. Mordaunt—"You aro nu old campaigner, Colonel; and naval of fleers tell me that oue must take what army oflieers say with a grain of salt." The Colonel—"I protest, my dear Mrs. Mordaunt, that it is tho most serious moment of my life. Your an swer?" Mrs. Mordaunt "Maybe, Col onel—" Tho Colonel—"Alice !" Mrs. Mordauut— "Mayba not. I will think about it." The Colonel—"But that is not 'No !' or 'Yes!' " Mrs. Mordaunt—"Then, Colonel, I will."

American "Tcetli Factories," Tho French Nation has recently been put in possession of sonio re markable information in regard to American "teeth factories." The United States commercial agent at Luxembourg has sent to the Depart ment of State the following transla tion of a report on artificial teeth : It is in America that tho worst teeth are found, which accounts for tho multitude of dentists, more or less American, scattered over the globe, and especially for the importance of American fabrications of everything appertaining to the art of the dentist. It' it is possible to believe authentic documents, the cost of an artificial tooth at the factory in tho United States should not exceed thirty or thirty-five cents. Ouo of these fac tories in New York sells not less than 8,000,000 of theso teeth per annum. Tho teeth are porcelain, covered with a special enamel, tho application of which is so delicate that there are no two teeth which are tinted exactly alike. Moreover there are about lifty different tints which are artificially obtained, corresponding with tho color variations of natural teeth. The imitation is carried so far as to stimu late defects, which reuder tho illusion more complete. A Bather Cool Spot. .T. C. E. Barker, tho well-known mineral man of Neihart, while con versing with a party of friends on the veranda of tho Park Hotel the other day, told of a pretty chilly place to be found near the famous Benton group of mines at Neihart. "On the northern slopo of tho 'Big Baldv,' at an altitude of about 10,000 feet, Dutro Creek creeps through a basiu on its way to Snow Creek, and it is in that basin, an aero or more squure, that the sun never shines for three mouths—December, January and February," said Mr. Baker. "In that basin tho ground never thaws, even in the hottest summer days," he continued. "1 have spent many years in tho mountains, but never saw such a frigid spot before. Last year wo ran a tunnel near this basin, and when fifty feet in the side ot tho mountain struck seams of solid ice in the formations.

Do you doubt that hundreds of sueli cases 1 reported to us as cured by " Golden Med- I ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that \ dread and fatal disease ? You need not take I our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best I and most experienced borne physicians, \ who have no interest whatever in mis- } representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit ~ little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypo phosphites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
