A story is told in Paris of a titled painter's pilgrimage. Ten years ago Vlscomte Jacques de Gruart laid a wager of 960,000 that he and his bride, to be married in the day of departure, could make a tour of the world, living on the earnings of the vicomte's brush. There was no stipulation as to time. The pair have just reached Paris on their return, after successfully ac­ complishing their undertaking and winning their bet. They have trav­ ersed Euroupe, America, Africa and Australia, living on nothing but the meager profits of the vicomte's brush. A KENTUCKY WOMAN How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in Weight and Became Well byTaking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their future in their own Lauds. There •will be a change for the better or worse, for the better if the system is purified by #mcli a tonic, as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Illrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky., "Writes ns follows concerning the diffi­ culties which afflicted her: "I was seriously ill and was confined ;"%o my bed for six or eight mouths in all, ..-^during two years. I had chills, fever, *henuiatism. My stomach seemed al­ ways too full, my kidneys did not act freely, my liver was inactive, my heart fceat was very weak and I bad dizziness or swimming in my head and nervous troubles. ' "I was under the treatment vL several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas friend about the merits of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills and I decided that I would try them. The very first box I took tnade me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I was entirely well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began, resumed my household duties, *®nd have since continued in the best of health. I have recommended Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills to many peoplo on ac- • count of what they did for me, and I feel that I cannot praise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually tnake new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body Is restored, because the blood carries toe* every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the necessary nourishment. Any woman Vho is interested in the cure of Mrs. Wed- m. jfling will want our book, "Plain Talks to 'Women," which is free on request. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post­ paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. HANDY 8LIDING BARN GATE. Should Be In Use to Restrain the Cat­ tle and Keep Them Within Bounds. Where cattle are stabled for the convenience of milking and feeding it is useful in hauling to have small gates hung in alley ways to prevent the stock from becoming unruly. Not infrequently considerable disturbance is brought about in handling a dairy herd while stabling, simply on account of a lack of doors across exposed pas­ sageways. In our barn we have small located wherever it is necessary A-V?'-' Sliding Gate for Barn Alley. to prevent the cows going into an al­ ley or feed room while stabling^ The diagram inclosed herewitnTsays a writer in Prairie Farmer, shows one of the handy gates we have In use. They ar6 great conveniences. The gate proper is made of pine material five inches in width. The gate, of course, is tnade to fit the place where needed. The two outer pieces are longer and serve as a part of the hanger. The gate is hung upon a two-inch gas pipe, which is in length twice the width of' the gg|te. Iron straps serve tho purpose of hangers and slide upon the gas piping as a track. . In our barn we have in use eight of these handy gates and would not think of getting along without them. In one or two instances when stock got loose they doubtless saved the lives of the animals as our feed room Is in easy reach of the stable. ...•: SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills* They also relieve Dis­ tress from Dyspepsia, In­ digestion and Too Hearty Eating.

The tarring is carried out on the Lassail- ly system by the use of the most lm» proved apparatus for heating the tar and applying it to the surface of the road. Commenced on the 25 th of May; the operation lasted scarcely ten days for the COO,000 square yards which were covered, employing two gangs, each made up of six drivers and eight horses, together with eight men for spreading the tar, counting the nlen needed for sanding the road after the tarring. A fine road is the result of this operation, says the Scientific American, and it shows that by the use of the proper apparatus a large extent of road can be treated within a short time and with a small amount of labor. At the last moment the ex­ cess of sand which covers the layer of tar will be swept off by the four sweeper wagons employed by M. Las- sailly, when the cars will be able to run under ideal conditions. Such a process, far from being an extra ex­ pense, is now recognized as an actual economy, seeing that the cost of keep­ ing up the road becomes much less, and this pays for the tarring ex­ penses, and may even exceed the lat­ ter, as has been found during a long eerieSPbf observations made in France.

Alfalfa will greatly change the cost of milk production. If farm conditions are not ideal, it is in the power of the agriculturists to make them so. For cutting ban£s, in threshing time, an old section off a mower, rivet­ ed to a piece of wood about eight inches long, works first-rate. Taking the country as a whole, and averaging the various crops, one thing is sure--the harvest is a very encouraging one, with no signs of famine ahead. Drive a stake down good and solid put some fiat stones around It and stack the beans about it. Put the roots nearest to the poles.

May Have Economic Value. The grass shown in our illustration Is known as Agropyron caninum (L. R. and S., awned or flt>erous-rooted wheat grass, and is related to the common quack or crouch grass. It Agropyron Caninum. is not known that ar„y attempts havfc been made to cultivate this grass, but the general characters indicate that it may possess considerable economic value as forage grass, says the Coun­ try Gentleman. It is Bald to be easily propagated by seeds. Its relation to quack grass would, however, counsel caution as to its cultivation. Curing a Kicking Cow. When a cow has a sore teat, a caked udder, or when breaking a heifer, If she refuses to stand still or kicks, don't argue the question with her with the milking stool, but just quietly take a strap and put It around her hind legs. The cow can stand naturaliy but can't kick or get her foot in the pail and the result , is no bad habits are learned. A simple strap and buckle with plenty of holes in the strap is better than any complicated appliance to make a cow stand still. Wrap it twice around the left leg above the gambrel joint, cross the strap between the legs and buckle the other leg tight. • " • ' - - ' • . * ; ; = .• "* •• v X': '-i ; "So. What Cant Be Done. Some things the best farmer cannot do, and one of them is to grow good garden crops on land that is not well drained. Before the fall rains come- on is a fine time to do ditching. Make a start, at any rate, urges Farm Jour­ nal. Coming years will give you a change to carry the work on to the end. The thing no* i» to make the beginning. Good Roads and Rural Mails. It is announced that the government will look more carefully to the en­ forcement of its rule regarding the roads over which rural free delivery is established.^ The present require­ ment is: "Roads traversed shall be kept in good condition, and unob structed ^>y gates; there must Ae no unbridged creeks or streams not ford- able at any season of tbe year." In many cases the residents along pro­ posed routes have made improve­ ments that enable them to obtain rural delivery service, but sometimes the efforts to keep up the roads are relaxed. But the government has de­ cided that unless the roads traveled by the carrier are properly maintained the service will be withdrawn. The post office department now calls on the carriers for reports on tbe roads and will stop the service where tbe high­ ways in question are bad. The 35,973 rural delivery larders now employed cover 863,363 miles dally, and it is unreasonable to ex pect them to contend with neglected roads, or to work for communities lacking the enterprise to keep its common highways. in decent shape. Wherever a route is discontinued the inhabitants themselves will be to blame for it, says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, for if alive to their own in­ terests and their duty to the public they would give their roads vigorous and constant attention. The idea that a route once authorized is necessarily permanent is a mistake. Advice on the best road methods is supplied by the agricultural department, and a neighborhood that'loses its rural de­ livery must Itself bear the discredit for so unpleasant, and humiliating an event - Alkaline and saline soils are not so by nature, but are so only because the climates in which they exist are largely dry and the rain water is not abundant enough to ' wash out the alkali and the salt In the semi-arid west the evaporation is very great and a large part of the water in the soil never reaches the rivers, but is carried off into the air by the process of evaporation. The salts and alkalies of the soil have been set loose from the rocks and ledges in their slow decomposition. Were the soil water enough abundant these salts and al­ kalies would have been carried down into the sea. As it was, they were . carried up by the slow movement up- i ward of the soil water. Even In humid climates there are found here and there places that are so alkaline that the ordinary farm crops cannot be raised, says Farmers' , Review. The reason for this is of the . same nature as in tbe other case, | though tbe process of its application • L* a little different. The writer saw ' ft small pond in Lake county, Illinois, round the rim of which was a strip of barren'H§fi. This barrenness had been caused by the evaporation of the water from that pond. The secret was that the pond had no outlet deep enough to draw off Its waters. When the summer days became dry and the sun hot the outlet was rendered use­ less by the waters of the pond having been evaporated to such an extent that the surface was lower than the outlet. The Bides of the pond then acted like a lamp wick, drawing the water from the pond and evaporating it into the air. In this process all the salts in the pond and the little alkali there was passed through this earthen lampwick, and In the evaporation of the water the chemical contents of the water were left behind. While the amounts in the water were not great enough to cause barrenness, when these chemicals became concentrated In a little area of soil, they became predbminant and caused the barren­ ness complained of. The solution of the problem was perhaps not reached by the farmer that owned the pond, but it was to lower the outlet till it would carry off the waters. Or the pond could have been dammed and the alkali soaked out and the cutlet then lowered. The latter way would have removed the alkali in a much shorter time than would have been the case of the outlet had simply been lowered and the rains left to gradu­ ally wash out the alkali. But either way would have, been successful and the method that took the longest time to accomplish the end would hflflt cost the least money. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, Of Suffolk, Va* says: "During two . or thifee years that 1 had kidney trou­ ble I passed about 2 Mi pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trou­ ble--lassitude, headache, pain In the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that Is not one-quarter of the whole num­ ber.

QUEER TRICKS OP ANIMALS. 8Mm«d to Find Pleasure In Washing of Odd* and Ends* Beckmann gives s. delightful account of a coon which used to amuse itself by washing various odds and ends in a bucket of water. An old pot handle, a. snail shell, or anything of the sort would do. But the thing he loved best of all was an empty bottle. Clasping It In his fore paws he would waddle slowly to the bucket with tho bottle clasped close to his breast and then roll it and rinse it in the water. If anyone ventured to disturb him he was furi­ ous and threw himself upon his back, clinging so tightly to hfs beloved bot­ tle that he could be lifted by it. Groos says that bears will do the same sort of thing. He relates the case of a polar bear which used to roll an old iron pot to and fro in his tank, and then, lifting it out, rub it up and down in a trough of running water. He stood on his hind legs and used his fore paws exactly like a washerwoman washing clothes. BABY'S TORTURING HUMOR.

When the doctor hjmself has been | relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it He says: "I wish to add my testimony In' re> gard to that excellent preparation-- Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a mo^ferate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum in­ stead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases' of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart nerves or stomach. ^ "When made right -It has a much belter f&ror than coffee, and is a vital smtlainer of the system.

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act mos^ beneficially, in a pleasant syrupt in whicĥ e wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con­ tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh aii^,cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one' in overcoming consti­ pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its. active princi­ ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actnal experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it ffcFwhat it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellency containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellent of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuiue remedy.
