STears of Slavery and How He _Ks- caped--Hcalth Xs -Jinprovintr--Had Gained Fifteen Pounds in Weight-- Talks A"bont His Deliverer Daily. Urbana, Ohio,-Sept. 0, 1805.--(Special.) •^-This town is in tiuite a boil of excite­ ment since the facts about the improved physical •'condition of many of our leading citizens became known. Anderson & Cramer, the big wholesale and retail drug­ gists, were called on and frankly admit­ ted' that they were the first to start the good Work, as Mr. Anderson termed it. "Yes, we" introduced No-To-Bacinto this town about three years ago. The demand at the start was very light, the folks had ,_.no faith in it, but we sold to a few people, and to our great astonishment every, one reported a cure. Since' that time we have sold hundreds of boxes, and every one un­ der a guarantee to cure or refund the money, and strange as it may seem, we have never had a call to refund money. This is indeed a gr^at record of merit, and it is because of this merit that the big sale luis resu 1 ted.- As every cure bringsi^ert least twenty-five1 customers, we KBow that No-To-Bac can be relied upon in every respect, and No-To-Bac ncrt only relieves, the nervous irritation and makes the use of tobacco entirely unnec­ essary, but at the same time builds up aud fortifies the general physical condition. I just saw two of our prominent mer­ chants,pass down the opposite side of the street; they were cured by No-To-Bac ayear ago. and they have not used tobacco aince and have been greatly im- proved in health. We have a great many customers, men who are well advanced in years, who have been cured, of the tobacco habit b^ -the use of No-To-Bac, and who conjtimie taking it right along for its tonic effects'. As-' a natural invigbrator and stimulant we believe there is no preparation in- , America to eqaal it." "You kitow 'K. 1*.

November 4th, last, I bought my first box of No-To-Bac from Anderson & Cramer. I had little faith, and to my great surprise, after using part of the third box. I was completely cured and did not have the least desire for'tobacco. I had been a perfect slave to tobacco for over twenty-five years; 1^ smoked from twelve to fifteen cigars a°day; to-day I feel better, I sleep better, think better, and 1 have gained fifteen pounds in weight, and there is not a day passes that T do hoi recommend No-To-Bac to many of the tobacco users who 1 know are de­ stroying their lives and vitality by the use of the weed." Further investigation revealed the fact that there are 500 people living in this town and the surrounding country who have been cured by N'o-To-Bac. If the cures eo on at this rate it will not be very long before the tobacco industry is going to be seriously affected. The sale of No- To-Bac has been phenomenal. The public should be warned, however, against the purchase of any of the many imitations on the market, as the success of No-To-Bac has brought forth a host of counterfeiters and imitators. The gen­ uine No-To-Bac is sold under a guarantee- to cure by all druggists, and every tablet has the word No-To-Bac plainly stamped thereon, and in the purchase of the gen­ uine article you run no physical or finan­ cial risk. Where Is the Blarney Stone? Within a few miles of Cork there stands, in the midst of beautiful groves, the ruined castle of Blarney, When the castle was besieged by Lord Carew in 1602, Cormac McCarthy, the Irish chieftain who held it, promised to give- it up to the English general, but al­ ways put him off by soft speeches, un­ til Carew became the laughing stock of Queen Elizabeth's ministers. Hence arose, so it is said, the common phrase, "None of your Blarney." There was a stone In the wall of the north angle of the castle, several feet from the top, which whoso should kiss became forth­ with gifted with great eloquence. It was not easy to kiss a stone in such a position, but the feat was usually ac­ complished by the performer of it get­ ting himself lowered by means of a rope. This was the famous Blarney stone. Bright Side of Farm Life. That the average farmer's life is not exactly u bed of roses few will deny.; Buttliat.it'has its bright side is not to be disputed. Among the1 advantages held by the farmer over any other laboring class ma j* be mentioned his indepeir- deiice. With his comfortable dwelling, well-filled barns and cellars, the mod-, ern farmer is absolutely the most in­ dependent of human beings. Financial questions which the nation may be worrying itself about affect him . but little. Labor strikes, which involve thousands of dollars and nearly all classes of men, pass him by unheeded. it is. Impossible to find another busi­ ness pr profession which is less^depen­ dent upon the patronage or • favor of others, says the Denver Field and Farm. He knows that if he raises more of any- kind of produce than, lie requires for ins,own use, he will be able to dispose of it, because his prod­ uce are the necessities of life. In place of being dependent upon others, he has the satisfaction of .knowing that the Whole, world is dependent upon him. This independence is shown in many forms. He . is hot compelled, as many othex's are, to rise at a certain hour and labor a certain number of hours,each day. under the directions of Others un­ til he becomes simply a piece of machin­ ery, without thought or feeling of his own. But, instead, his work is per­ formed as he thinks.best, and at what­ ever time he may consider most suita­ ble. \ Neither is he worried by the fear of losing his situation, as many a one who is employed by others is bound to be at one time or another. His position is secure, and he knows that with a fair season his recompense is assured. Looking at the bright side of farm life from another standpoint: No one ever passed a fine farm in midsummer and did not envy its owner. The pictur­ esque surroundings, the well-kept fields and pastures, the fine horses*and sleek cattle,' the general air of peace and prosperity which hovers over a well- appointed farm. At this season, bow- ever, inspired poets have caused many men in other walks of life to become farmers, and and many of the wrecks' along the country roadside were caused by men who had better have remained in other walks of life. At Play in an Oasis. There are certain spots in the great Sahara desert--alas! too few, so the natives think--where there is plenty of water and the palm tree grows lux­ uriantly. These delightful places are called oases, and there is one in Biskra in Algeria, on the northern, fringe of the Sahara--"where all the prospect pleases and only than is vile." Never­ theless vile man needs his amusements, and the Caid, or military governor, of Biskra, finds his chief recreation in hawking. The hawks are carried on the men's heads and shoulders, and oftentimes on both. Hawking is one of the oldest of sports and is keenly en­ joyed by everyone, except the poor un­ fortunate victims.

A good expedient for securing dryr uess in the coops is the use of dry earth scattered about under the roosts and on the floor. This acts as an ab­ sorbent of the moisture, as a disinfect­ ant, says Farm and Fireside, and, moreover, repays all the trouble spent over it by the better preservation of the useful ingredients of the droppings, and the great comfort to the attendant. The utmost, cleanliness must be aimed at in order to render this possible, and the buildings must be convenient­ ly arranged for cleaning. If they are too low or cramped, if the perches are badly arranged, and if there are nooks and corners that are difficult to get at, the result will'be that the cleaning Op­ eration will never be perfectly accom­ plished, and little' heaps of decompos­ ing filth will remain, to the disgust of the attendant, arid the damage of the health, of the fowls. The most power- fal aid- in-preserving cleanliness is tlfe dry earth mentioned above; this,should be as often-renewed as it becomes well mixed with the droppings. The perch­ es and hests should be whitewashed, and for this purpose they should be movable. •Townships Awakeninjr. About half of the towns in Rhode Isl­ and have asked to be included in the provisions of the good roads law, passed last January, permitting the use of $30,- 000 for good roads. •, Kail to the Wide Tire. ,_U. The editor Of the home department of the Maine Farmer approves of the wide tire law, just enacted by the Connecti­ cut Legislature, and says: **Shis is the first step to be taken in Maine in the way Of legislation, aad this of itself will do much to insure a hard, smooth road bed. Towns and cities in Maine, where streets have beejfi macadamized, orasphalt'highways constrtiCted,' will be compelled to pass "the wide tlfe ordi­ nance to prptect the same;" ". The Farm Workshop. Every farm ought to have a workshop on it. If not a separate building, at least a room where a supply of tools most commonly used are kept for use in cases of emergency. There are times, says Farm News, when a saw and a brace and set of bits will save a trip to town and a loss of time when time is valuable. A portable forge and an an­ vil, with a few blacksmith tools, will be used very frequently, and a shoemak­ er's outfit comes handy when there is a break in the harness or a call for a stitch or two in shoes or straps. A neat little kit of shoemaker's tools can be purchased for $2 aud a very con­ venient blacksmithing outfit for about $13, aud a few dollars more spent for planes, chisels, files, saw, augers, squares and such common tools will pay a large interest in a way that is quite astonishing. Many times a small break is neglect­ ed, until a serious one results from it, when if tools had been handy, the mat­ ter could have been attended to at the proper time. With the number of tools and implements that are now necessary on every well-conducted farm, there are frequent calls for repairing, and in a majority of the cases the farmer can make all necessary repairs himself, if he has the tools to work with. Rods that get bent can be straighten­ ed. plows sharpened, and the thousand and one things that make a trip to the blacksmith or carpenter or wagonmak- er necessary, and adds to the expense account, may be easily avoided by making a small outlay for :ools. All these things count in a year, and the saving is worth looking after. The Art of Stack Making. American farmers have never been good stackers. The grain is put in barns, instead of being stacked as it us­ ually is in Europe. At present the diffi­ culty in making a good stack is greater than ever. Threshing machines that will put through 1,200 or more bushels of grain per day require all the help that can be got to get the grain in the straw to the machine. Only-enough are left on the stack to get the straw out of the way. To make a really good' staeTC'ihe straw should be trampled all over the- stack and especially on the edges. It is very important that the chaff which comes with the straw be evenly dis­ tributed through the stack. If it is not, water will settle into the stack where the chaff is most plentiful add will rot it. It is best usually to dispose of this chaff by dropping it at the foot'of the stack under,the carrier, and after the threshing is done taking it into the barn. It is the most-nutritious part of the straw, and will be readily eaten by stock in winter as a change from grain and hay. Protecting: Fruit from Winds. There is much less cropping of or­ chards now than there Used to lie, and the result is that lower headed trees are generally prevalent. These are better on many accounts, mostly be­ cause the low heads are less exposed to heavy winds, and there is less wast­ age of fruit. In all exposed places fur­ ther protection from winds is needed. It will pay wherever a young orchard is planted to also plant on the sides most exposed to winds a row of ever­ greens that shall serve as a windbreak. The loss of fruit blown down and made worthless in a single storm is often many times greater than the cost of a protection which would make such loss Vni necessary. „ Low Price for Machine Work. A\ hen mowing and reaping machines first began to be used, their prices were high, and what was fully as important, few were competent to manage then?. We have' known instances Where as high as $1 per acre was paid for cutting ja meadow, and the owner of the land furnished the team. Of late years the price of machines is lower, and there Growing Clover Without Grain. ""Wheat or rye are the best grains to se^jl with, but the low price of wheat fo^r several years past has led many farmers to wish that they could dis- pense with it It is possible" to grow clover sown alone, says the independ­ ent, but, unless the soil is reasonably free from weeds, we would prefer to sow it on grain that has had two hun­ dred pounds per acre of superphos­ phate drilled in with it. The extra yield of grain will more than pay for the phosphate, and there will be the second year a better" growth of clover than there wiTl be with clover sown alone without the phosphate. We had occasion to test this many years ago, drilling once half way across a held without sowing either grain or phos­ phate. The clover seed was sown broadcast with a Catyoon sower, and at harvest the clover on the strip where no grain was sown was decidedly bet­ ter than the other. But after harvest the clover in the grain stubble rapidly gained. By the time the ground froje we could see little, if any, difference. But the next year there was a differ­ ence, and the clover' where the grain and phosphate had been distributed was fully two-thirds heavier than the other. Making Good Roads. How to build a good road is a very im­ portant subject to the people of a great nation that is just becoming fully aroused to the importance of maintain­ ing a better system of public highways. In his new book, "New Roads and Road Laws in the United States," Gen. Roy Stone, special agent for the United States Department of Road Inquiry, says that the perfection of roads is a fine, dry, smooth dirt track, for the rea­ son that such a surface is easy on horse and vehicle, while free from jar and noise. He advocates narrow stone roads beside the dirt track for the rea­ son that in wet or frosty weather dirt roads are often impassable. A dirt road in good condition is preferable to a surface of stone for driving and wheeling purposes and would save fTiuch wear on the latter, which is the more expensive of the two. As a mat­ ter of course this general suggestion is to be modified to suit different locali­ ties, but on the whole, Gen. Stone's re­ port, made after the examination and a careful survey and study of recently built roads in all parts of the country, is a safe and scientific guide for the cor­ rect building of logical and lasting high­ ways. Dairying Is Sure. The man who (Toes his own work knows how it is done, aud, I believe, takes more comfort than one who has to trust a large part of it to others. This is especially true of the care of cows. I keep no sheep, just cows and liens and two horses, says John New­ ton iii the Rural New Yorker. Half file farmers around here went into horses, and many of them are weight­ ed down with them now. Taking up dairying and sticking right to that, has been a great blessiug to me. But it was very discouraging work at first with a poor pasture, and only small spots here and there on the farm on which corn could be grown. Winter dairying solved the pasture question. I turn the ows into a back pasture when they are dry the first of August. I have not become rich, but have found that, with the blessing of God. a man who is not strong, and who has a hard, stony farm, can have a happy home and bring up a family in these times of de­ pression in agriculture. Sheep in Orchards. .T. S. Woodward writes to the Rural New Yorker that persons who pas­ ture sheep in their orchards do not, as a rule, use enough-sheep to do the most good. The sheep can add noth­ ing to the land but what they take from it; but if a large number--say, OO--are put in eight acres of trees seeded with orchard grass, and are fed a little bran say, about a pound a day to each sheep --something like a 134 pounds of nitro­ gen, 164 pounds of phosphoric acid and SG pounds of potash would lie distrib­ uted during the season over the ground in the best possible way, while the sheep...,would keep down every -weed and sprout, gnaw the grass close aud eat every fallen apple as soon as it strikes the ground. Cost of Bad Roads. A little pamphlet called "The Gospel of Good Roads" shows that there are in the United States, draft animals--in­ cluding horses, mules and oxen--repre­ senting an investment of nearly 2,000 million dollars. These farm animals are permanent and steady boarders. Busy or idle, they eat every day and must be properly cared for. Unless they are kept employed earning their living they become a source of enor­ mous expense. The chief purpose which they serve in the winter season is trans­ porting farm products to market and other kinds of hauling. An interfer­ ence with this sort of work means the consumption of a vast amount of grain and hay, which has a money value, in maintaining the unemployed motive power of the farmer at a ruinous ex­ pense. It has been estimated by a citizen of Indiana, who has investigated the sub­ ject very carefully, that bad roads in the State annually cost the farmer $15 for each mule and horse in his posses­ sion. Ten thousand farm horses in oue month will consume $70,000 worth of feed, aud this consumption goes on whether they are earning their daily rations or standing idle in their stalls. Value of Sunflowers. The composition and yield per acre of food constituents are tabulated by the Vermont experiment station for Japanese radish, spurry. millet, rape,- soja bean, horse bean and sunflowers, and for mixtures of peas, oats and rape, hairy vetch and soja beans, hairy vetch and horse beans, and vetch, oats and rape. The largest yield of dry matter, 7,491 pounds per acre, was made'by rape; this plant produced a larger crop when the drills were six inches apart than when planted at a distance of twenty-seven inches apart. Japanese radish was refused by cattlv; sunflower heads afforded 2,738 pounds of dry- matter per acre, containing 007 pounds, of fat, a much larger quantity than that produced by any other crop. Prevent Cows Switching Their Milk. A simple and effective device to keep a cow from switching her tail during milking is to take a piece of inch rope about six 'feet long and splice the end so that it will form a ring. Before commencing to milk, hang the rope over her rump, just in front of the hook bones, and down behind so that the lower portion will fall almost to her hocks. That Was Different. I was waiting for the postoffice at Huntsville to open in the morning, and meanwhile talking to a colored jani­ tor, who was sweeping and dusting, when a negro boy, about 15 years old, came along and beckoned the janitor to step aside. The old man looked at him sharply, but did not comply. "Say, yo'!" called the young man. There was no reply to this, and after, a minute he called again: "Boy! What yo' wants wid me?" sternly demanded the janitor. "I wants to speak wid yo'." "Who is yo'?" "Yo' know who I is. Yo' is dun en­ gaged to my sister Evangeline." "Oh! Yo' is her brudder Sam. Waal, what yo' want?" "Kin vo' lend me ten cents?" "On what grounds, sab?" "On de grounds dat yo' is gwine to be my brudder-in-law." "Boy, doan yo' know nuffin 'tall 'bout philosophy?" shouted the janitor as he raised his broom over his shoulder. "My bein' engaged to yo'r sister Evan­ geline as a private citizen, an' my standin' heali representin' de United States guv'ment an' talkin' wid a gem'- lan besides, am two entirely different contestashuns. As yo'r fuclier brud­ der-in-law I'd like to obleege yo', but as a representative of dis guv'ment I doan' know yo' from Adam, an' if yo' dogn' move on I'll hev to smash yo' to bone dust!"

Mrs. Ponsonby presents herself to Madame Valerie, the modiste, to point out an error in the monumental bill for her summer costumes. "Madame will notice that the ribbon on the challis gown is charged at 85 ceut.< a yard, and the ribbon on the surah gown at $1 a yaru, and yet pre­ cisely the same kind of ribbon was used! A mistake, of course!" murmurs Mrs. Ponsonby, in suspiciously .sweet tones, a steely glitter, in her eye the while. "Ah!" cries Madame. "Quei malheur! What a stupid bookkeeper is mine! Of course it is a mistake, my dear Mrs. Ponsonby. 1 am desolated it should have occurred. I will rectify it at Once. Both ribbons should have been charged at $1." How tired we are of picnics at the close of the season? -A Heavy Burden. The history of labor strikes, if fully written, would contain some odd Inci­ dents. None, could be more so, per­ haps, than the story of a recent strike in Omaha among the brewery work­ men. An agreement had been made be­ tween the brewers and their employes which was acceptable in every point but one, and upon this one point they held out It had been provided that beer should be furnished the workmen to drink without charge at nine, eleven, two, threer four and six o'clock, but the men insisted upon having it free at every hour of the day! Here is op­ pression of labor by capital with a ven geancef In point of fact, there are no two tilings more at odds than efficient, labor and excessive drinking. About a thou­ sand million dollars a year are spent in this country for liquors, wines and ales. The proportion of this enormous sum that comes from the pockets of the working people of small means is quite out of proportion to their num­ ber. ••'•' The loss is not Only direct, but indi­ rect Indolence and incapacity always follow in the train of excess. A mau- ufaeturer has lately been quoted as saying that lie had' many men in his employ to Whom he used to pay live dollars a day, but who could now with difficulty earn a dollar and a quarter; and that solely because they would drink. And the circumstance is not ex­ ceptional, but typical. Waste and idleness are of the near­ est kin to vice and excess. One Fierce, the Other Lazy.. Though the lynx is oue of the cats, it has certain tin-cat-like points. Its tail is shorter, its ears are longer and graced at the ends with a tuft of li.air, and it has whiskers as well as ,the mustache that ornaments the mouth of the cat. The.lynx of Europe is a savage creature, leaping upon its prey with'a sure aim. and doing great dam­ age among the flocks and herds of the countries where it is yet found. In a wild state, the American differs from the European lynx in being much lazier and less ferocious; therefore.it. will live longer, for the latter lias no friends, and is gradually retreating before the advance of civilization. Peace or War. In the olden days, when the spear was used as a weapon of war, men had to be very careful how they carried it If they were in a strange country and bore their spears with the point for­ wards, it was supposed that they were bent on mischief, and was regarded as a declaration of war. If, on the other hand, they carried the spears on their shoulders, with the point backwards, their visit was taken as a visit of friendship, and there was no disturb­ ance of the peace. Children's Rights. All germs of goodness, order and love­ liness exist in the child at birth, and if God's plan of dealing with human souls is followed these germs will grow, bud, blossom and bring forth fruit; but his' plans cannot be continually thwarted without injurious results. The duty of parent to child exists long befor^ the child owes any duty to parent The child has a right to demand that its life shall begin under the- most fa- orable circumstances--that its incep­ tion shall not be deft to chance. -It has a right to demand that the months of its development In the mysterious darkness of its motherworld shall be made to contribute to. its three-fold perfection--physical, mental, and spir­ itual. It has a right to demand that all the wondrous laws of inheritance which pre-determine capability, which cast the unfailing horoscope of future life, shall be considered by those who have the power to choose its parentage.

(N. Y. Sun.) So all washing and cleaning is easy, quick and safe--if you believe what the ped­ dlers and some grocers tell you about certain washing pow­ ders. Now, you can test the ease and the quickness very soon. But the safety--that is another thing. You can't prove that to yourself without a long, and perhaps expensive and disastrous, trial. Better stick to the first-made, never-changing, best-known washing-compound--Pearline. Almost any woman can prove to you the safety of Pearline. And nothing that can be, and has been, thus proved will do all your washing and cleaning so easily, so quickly, and so economically. A r! Peddlers and some unscrupulous srrocers will tell you " this is as good as"* QCllU or " the same as Pearline." IT'S FALSE--Pearline is never peddled, •4. 4 and if your grocer sends you something in place of Pearline, b» ^ sZ$3,CxC honest--send it back. 601 JAMES PYLE, New York.
