Foundation FOP a Romance.
About the time John Bull was getting
histinal lesson from Uncle Sam, in 1812,
a letter was written by a repentant
Pennsylvania father to the discarded
eon, who never received it. The ro
mance-freighted document has just
been discovered at Lenni, Delaware
County, Miss. Catherine Mahon,
daughter of an old resident of that
town, was looking over some old fam
ily papers and came across a package
of letters that had belonged to her
grandmother. Among the collection
was a sealed envelope, yellow with age,
which bore the superscription: "For my
son, Iliram, should he ever return."
This was signed 44 Thaddeus Mahon."
Miss Mahon showed the letter to her
father, who remembered having heard
his father speak of a brother who had
left home suddenly and had never re
turned. It was decided to break the
big red seal with which the envelope
was fastened, and within it was found
the following pathetic letter, address
ed to "My son Hiram," and dated July
13, 1812:
"Since you have left I see my mis
take. I pray that you may come back
in time to forgive me. Thank God your
mother is not living to know that I cast
her son off. Willingly would I give my
consent to your marriage with Nell, for
I now see that she Is a good woman.
Forgive your father, who has broken
his heart through his headstrong
ways. God bless you."
This was signed "Tkaddeus Mahon,"
but there was nothing to throw any
light on the old-time romance that end
ed so unhappily. No one in Lenni knows
who "Nell" was or what became of her,
aud it can only be conjectured that
her lover went to the war under an as
sumed name and was killed In one of
the naval engagements from which this
country won glory and money from En
gland.

THIN BLOOD, WHITE COMPLEXION
Doclniw Diagnosed the Caie an Heart
.Disease and Conscription —But the
Symptom* Were Due to Watery
Blood Alone, and Disappeared
When Blood Whs Enriched.
From Presbyterian Journal. PhilacVa Pa.
After yenrs of patient and intense suffer
ing. Miss Gertrude Gilbert lias recovered
her lost health, and is to-day a rosy and
blooming specimen of voting womanhood.
Miss Gilbert's illness, which was of several
years duration, was duo mainly to a lack of
blood. To-day her rosy cheeks and healthy
appearance denote the grateful change
from u life of ill-health to ono of freedom
from all illness. When a reporter called
on her at her home. No. 1919 Glenwood
Avenue, Philadelphia, the young lady rau
lightly down tho steps with all tho elastic
ity or youth.
"I could not have dono that eight
months ago.'' she said as she seated herself
in a big armchair.
•At that time," she continuod, "had I
ran down the steps as I did a few moments
ago, I would have fainted." With her eyes
sparkling, and a vivacious flurry in her
manner. Miss Gilbert usked the cause of
the reporter's visit. Upon being told that
he came to ask about her illness,she said that
she would cheerfully relate her experience.
"I have been HO wonderfully benefited that
within the past eight months I have grown
from a mere skeleton to what you now see.
I had been siek for a long time, when a
friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale. People. Previous to this
three doctors had treated me. They diag
nosed my trouble as heart disease, together
with consumption, and prescribed accord
ingly. All this medical treatment did not
benefit me in the least. I was in a terrible
condition. There was scarcely any blood
left in my composition, and my friends
often told me that they thought I was a
victim of blood disease. My chief trouble
was weakness, and after laborious efforts
to get upstairs I almost went into a faint,
aud on several occasions thought 1 was go
ing to die.
"So little blood had I that my ears were
almost transparent, and my complexion
was as white, JIS a sheet. I can scarcely de
scribe my sensations, but after repeated
treatment by my physicians I became thor
oughly discouraged.
"It was at this time that Dr. Williams-
Pine Pills were recommended to mo, and I
pi-ocured a box. Before I had finished it I
began to feel tho benefit of my health.
This gave me encouragement, and I began
a systematic course according to the regu
lations on the wrapper. At tlie end of tho
seventh or eighth box, I forgot which, I
was an entirely different girl. In addition
to having a sufficient quantity and better
quality of blood in my veins, i was relieved
of that shortness of breach and quick heart
action which lias boon my chief trouble.
My appetite returned and I was enabled to
do iny daily duties with a cheerfulness
which I had never before experienced.
"Several weeks ago I stopped taking tho
pills, and whilo I feel confident I shall never
again be in such ill health. I always, as a
preventative, keep a box of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills in my room. They are all they
arc represented to be, and I say again that
to them, and them alone, do 1 owe my res
toration to health."
Dr. Williams' Pink Tills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to tho blood
and restore shattered nerves. They aro
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe
males, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of henltli
to pale and sallow cbceks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excesses
of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a
box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had
of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady,
A Trick that Failed.
The dishonest man* is pretty sure to
overreach himself sooner or later, as In
the following story, borrowed from an
exchange:
In a hotel in Berlin there was a night
watchman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted n few years ago,
requiring him to go through the hotel
nt certain hours and touch a set of elec
tric buttons.
After much thought he rigged up an
automatic arrangement on several of
the buttons, so that they would report
at certain hours. Soon the button sys
tem got so out of order that the man
agement abolished it, and a pedometer
was given to the watchman, which
would register every step he took.
All went well the first two nights; but
on the third morning the old man was
missing. On search beingtiULdq, be was
found sound asleep in the engln s-roojr,
and the pedometer so attached to tne
piston-rod of the engine that with ev
ery stroke it registered a step. It had
been traveling all night, and when
taken off it registered two hundred aud
twelve miles.
The Comment.
"I was telling Miss Cayenne about au
accident with which I recently met," re
marked Willie Wishington, with a mel
ancholy look in his eye.
"Indeed?"
"Yes. I was getting off an electric
car. Didn't realize how fast it was go
ing and lauded on my hands instead of
my feet."
"What did Miss Cayenne say about
it?"
"Not much. She merely remarked
that I had at last succeeded in being
original."—Washington Star.

When buying clover seed 14 is al
ways beet to use a microscope to detect
weed seeds that of late years have be
come very plentiful in clover. No ono
of these weeds is worse than the plau

bo called from its long, narrow leaves.
It has innumerable small, black seed,
much smaller than clover seed. When
land is once seeded with the plantain
it is almost impossible to get rid of it,
as ths seeds remain in th' round for

less nutritious aud palatable than
other grasses, and of course much in
ferior to clover.
FEATHER EATING FOWLS.
Feather eating is a vice rather than
a disease. Like all bad thiugH, it con
taminates all within its reach, so when
a fowl is noticed doing tho unclean
thing, the surest way to stop the ill
effects of this bad example ia to uso
the hatchet and put tho offender in
the pot.
If a valuable bird it may be broken
of the habit by the use of a bridle
which cau be bought for a few cents.
A remedy recommended by some is
this: Make an ointment of sulphur,
keroseue, lard and carbolic acid.
Anoint that part of the plumago that
is being pulled out, and the offender,
not relishing this ••sauce," may soon
stop its offence.
One poultryman fed his stock feath
ers and they soon got disgusted with
such fare and behaved themselves.
It is very seldom a busy ilock has
any feather eaters in it, especially if
they are furnished fresh meat or green
bone.
It is idleness that begets the evil.
Keep the tlock scratching, bustling.—

PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS.
How far apart should apple trees be
planted? The small, thin, whiplike
trees with a few roots attached look
very louesome when set at the proper
distance apart. It requires strong im
agination aud some faith to see these
in the Tutnre, spreading fifteen to
eighteen feet on either side, and with
branches that interlock each other.
Yet they will surely do it if not placed
forty feet apart. And on good ground
that, for the spreading varieties, like
Greening and Baldwin, is none too
near. The Northern Spy upple grows
more upright, and that may be plant
ed thirty feet apart, partly to crowd
tho roots and induce earlier bearing.
But even with the Northern Spy we
should prefer to have the trees planted
forty feet apart, and then plant in be
tween the rows peach trees or dwarf
pear trees to produce a crop until the
apple trees come iuto bearing. No
kind of apple so much needs sunlight
us does the Northern Spy. But this
can he best secured by pruning out
the inside branches of the tree and
letting sunlight to the centre. The
Northern Spy apples that grow on
these inside branches arc small, color
less and poor iu flavor. The fruit at
best needs a long season to ripen, and
should have all the sunlight that can
be given it.—Boston Cultivator.
HOW ENSILAGE IS EErT.
Tho question whether it is abso
lutely necessary to get all the air oat
from among emilage when picking it,
so a9 to- insure its keopicg, must be
answere d in the negative. It is true
that the air is mostly expelled from
fruit by boiling in the cans before
they are sealed, But even then wo do
not get all the air out, as we can con
tinue to boil, and air would still rise
to the surface. What we really do is
to greatly let sen the amount ot air in
the can, but leaving some, which, as
the can is nearly filled with fruit and
juice, will be found at the top. This
air will cause some of the juices at the
surface to decompose, generating car
bonic acid gas, and forming a thick
while scum over tho fruit in the can,
which excludes aii lrum the fruit, and
thus preserves it. This is exactly
what happens in the silo. The gener
ation of carbonic acid gas, as soon as
it goes l'ar enough, stops further fer
meutation, provided air lrom below
does not get at the silage. There will
always be some rotten silage at the
top, which has to be thrown away.
But for this reason the top of the silo
should be llni3hed with straw or coarse
stuff that has little nutritive value.
If this is done all the valuable 6ilage
may be saveil. If not tho top layer
will be wasted just as it is in tho fruit
can.—American Cultivator.
CORN SMUT.
In an exhaustive treatise on corn
smut the Kansas Experiment Statiou
claims that the annual loss to the
farmers is as high in some instances as
one-lourth of the crop.
It also states that smut is a low order j
of plant life which fastens itself upon j
the corn and lives upon it as mites or j
fleas live upon animals, exhausting its
strength and vitality. The black, pow
dery mass formed in the later stages
of its development are the seed spores.
In tho study of smut, tho station
authorities have, in three years, ex
amined over 200,1)00 stalks in more i
than 500 fields. These examinations 1
showed that smut does not appear till
tho plant is one or two months old,and
first attacks the blades,later thejoiuts,
then the labels, and later tie ears
Moisture favors its germination and
development. The younger and newer
spores germinate quicker than older
ones.
Some very remarkable results of
these experiments with smut were that
it was almost impossible to spread the
smut artificially, and the weakliest,
puniest stalks were least liable to be
attacked by it. Very few of the corn
plants upon which the smut spores
were sprinkled wero attacked, and no
stunted, weak stalks were found any
where, attacked by smut.
It was noticed that smut was most
abundant in dry seasons.
It was found that soaking seed corn
in fungilcrdes does no good though
such treatment prevents smut in wheat
and oats.
The only recommended remedy is to
collect and buru the smutted plants.
A sorghum head smut wus also found,
which attacked corn as well, and is
doing some damage.—Wisconsin Agri
culturist.
THE BEST POULTRY-HOUSE FLOOR.
The subject of floors for poultry
houses has been discussed moro than
i almost any other point about poultry
buildings. The best authorities are
j now neurly agreed that earth is the
| best floor that can be made if it is
| properly propnred. The reason for
this is that earth is in the first place a
| good disinfectant and deodorizer, and
| lor this reason adapted to this pur
! pose, and in the second place, such a
floor can be renewed at only the cost
of the labor used in replacing it. The
j best floor is made of hard-packed clay,
covered \yjuh two inohes of looso gar
den mould.
The land on whioh the poultry
house stands should be drained in 6Uch
manner as to carry off surplus moisture
readily and prevent flooding by the
hnrdest ruins. This can besi be ac
complished by filling in uutil the floor
of the poultry-house is six inchos
hi.herthan the surrounding surfaoe.
The filling should be clay, if it can be
got, and in any event it should bo
slightly damped and pounded down
firmly and allowed to dry before being
put to use. Then cover with two
inches of garden Eoil or dust as dry as
is convenient. As soon ub there is
any foul odor about the house this
coat of loose soil should be romoved
and a new one putin. In the summer
months this must be done nbout twice
a month, but in the winter a longer
time may elapse, provided the soil is
raked over and the droppings mixed
in once a week. The soil that is taken
out is one of the best fertilizers about
the farm and may be used on garden
crop 6 with great benefit.
The objection to a board floor is that
it becomes saturated with the drop
pings, and not only offensive, but dan
gerous as as breeder of disease, a
board floor is a good breeding place
for vermin, while one on earth acts as
a preventive in a grent measure, the
dust arising from the floor acting as
an insecticide.—Parmer's Voico.
BERRY BULLETIN.
The growing of a berry calls into
action some of the most wonderful laws
of nature.
j In the growth of plants we find these
laws in perfection. We also find in
various forms a complete supply of
every element required for tho de
velopment of both plant and fruit.
Nature gives us all these products
without stint. She simply asks in re
turn that we assist her in some of the
smeller details of the work.
She asks that the soil be made rich
and well prepared. That the plant bo
of good quality and carefully set out.
That frequent hoeing and cultivation
be given. That plants be protected
from winter frosts and summer
drought. That no insect pest or
fungous diseuse find nn abiding plaoe
with them. That you treat them as a
friend and love tliem as a brother.
Both plensuro aud profit comes in
greatest measure from closest atten
tion to alt these details.
Nature furnishes almost every good
with a prodigal hand, but she is n
niggard to him who will not work in
her ways. You c inuot cheat her in
farm or garden. You cannot get some
thing for nothing. These are days of
progress.
Every line of business must advanoo
with tho time or drop to tho rear. The
farmer has been tho laggard.
The safest, the surest, the most an
cient and the most honorable business
on earth should be in tho most pro

TEMPTING APPLE DESSERT.
Mrs. Lemoke's formula for a temp
ting apple dessert is one dozen Spit
zenberg apples pared aud cored whole ;
these are put in a wide saucepan with
sufficient water to cover them, the
water being brought to the boii before
the apples uro added. Cook tho apples
till a straw will easily pierce them,
then carefully take out and arrange in
a large glass dish; boil tho liquor down
till it is reduced to a quart, add ono
cup of sugar nndone ounce of gelatine
soaked for filtoen 'minutes in a little
sold water; boil the syrup with these
for a few rriuutos, then set aside to
cool slightly boforo pouring it over the
apples, aud putting the dish on ieo to
get firm. Servo with whipped cream.
Almonds blanched and flnoly chopped,

The genuine rich brown sugar, which
ls the unrefined product of the cane,
can no longor bo found for sale in the
market, though a small quantity of
this sugar is still prepared ou some
Southern plantations, and occasionally
a little is forwarded to Northern cus
tomers or to friends. This sugar makes
the most delicious "pralines." The
light sugar of our market, however, is
a fairly good substitute for it. Add
two-thirds of a cupful of boiling water
and two oven tablespoontnls of sweet,
saltless butter to a pound of the sugar.
Stir it until it meltß. Add a mere
pinch of cream of tartar, and let the
syrup boil without stirring again un

when rolled between the fingers.
Wet the fingers in ice water before
testing the syrup. When the drop is
still soft, but docs not stick, tho candy
is ready. If it ig hard, so that tho
drop cracks when bitten, it has boiled
too loug, and in that case add a table
spoonful of water and let tho syrup
boil an instant. Do not stir it, how
ever, but merely test it again. When
it has reaebod the "ball" or soft,
creamy condition, remove it from the
fire nud pour in a cup of nice pecan
kernals. Pour the candy out into
very thin sheets on buttered tins, and
when it is partly cooled crease it with
a knife into caudles about two inches
square. Break the sheet into separate
candies when it is cold.
Another way is to take out the candy
by the teaspoonful as soon as tho
svrup has cooled for about two minutes.

Women do not Liko to Tell a Doctor

drag around. 1 would have such a ringing in my head by spells that it seemed
as though 1 would grow crazy.. I ached from my shoulders to my feet and
was very nervous. 1 was also troubled with a white discharge. I wrote to Mrs.
l'inkham at.Lynn, Mass., received a prompt reply and followed her advice, and
now I have no backache and begin to feel as one ought; in fact* I never felt bet
ter in ten years than Ido now. I thank (lod that I went doctoring with Mrs.
Finkhcm when I did, fcr if I had not I know 1 would have been in my grave."
