"I had. read all her books and was actually crazy to meet her; so while I was in Boston I was offered the op­ portunity I long had sought I think I was the most disappointed person in all the world.

Why flo Women have the Blues more than Men! fePKOpU. TO OUE LADY BEA.DCHB.] Are not women naturally as light- hearted, brave, and hopeful as men ? Yes ; 'but woman's organism is dif­ ferent from man's. Women in per­ fect or good health are rarely victims of this symptom. Women nearly monopolize the blues, because their peculiar ailment3 promote them. When the femalo organs fail to per- 11 form their func- tions properly, when t*ie dreaded W' -aSaS female complaints WmfJ appear, there is im shown nervousness, flfStt * sleeplessness, faint- HLtMr ness, backache, .lTOW headache, bearing- - down pains, etc., Bl?Bt ̂ MtA causing the dreaded BSwPk "let-me-alone" and "all-gone" feel- ings.

I am satisfied, from several years' ex­ perience, that the best seed corn js that grown upon the farm when proper pains are taken in its selection. Of all the general crops grown upon the farm, there are few, if any, that show or feel'the effects of a change iu the conditions of growth more readily than corn. It is -often the case that when a new variety is brought on the farm one year's test is not sufficient to determine its value, largely on account that the change in conditions in growth is so great that the effect is felt, and in a majority of cases the longer a va­ riety is grown on the farm, provided good care is taken in the selection of the seed, the better the variety Will be adapted to that particular farm. Neg­ lect or carelessness in,, selecting will soon.,show in the deterioration of the crop. . \ But to get the best and have it in the best condition, care must be taken to select in good season. The best plan I have evOr seen tried is to go through the field as soon as the grains have be­ gun to harden Well. Just before com­ mencing to cut for fodder is a good time; and then select the best ears from the most perfect stalks, leave the husks on and spread out where it can dry thoroughly; then it can be shocked and 6tored away in,a dry place. When this cannot be done conveniently, another way is to select the seed corn when the shucking out is being done. The dis­ advantage with this is that there is not as good an opportunity for deter­ mining what the stalk was. I find that an important item in saving the seed coru is to dry well before storing away, and to keep dry all through the winter. Another item is to select and store away before the corn has been frozen In the field. This is necessary if the vitality is maintained, and good seed Is an important item in growing a good crop.--Nebraska Farmer. White Clover for Cows. One of the most valuable plants for pasture when sown with other kinds is white clover. Its nutritive qualities are considerably better than those of red clover, and it is a hardy, persistent plant. It will grow under the shade of the stronger grass and clover, making a dense bottom that, while it Is not available for hay, yet affords a large ad­ dition to the feed for pasturing ani­ mals., It is beyond reproach for cows and sheep, but for horses has the effect in late summer of salivating them pro­ fusely, so much so as to make them quite thin. It has the same effect upon mules, and these animals should, there­ fore, be kept out of the fields in which It grows to any extent. It will be a useful occupation for a spare hour or two to scatter a pound of tliis seed over the pasture, especially where the grass is thin.* It will show- next season, and once having posses­ sion of the ground, it will keep it for several years. It is the best of all honey-producing plants known, and having a long blooming season; the bees make more honey from it than any other source. Its effect upon the yield of milk and butter of the cows is so ap­ parent as to draw from the butter- maker the remark: "The cows .are get­ ting the white clover now." And this is always the case when, at this time, the cows are turned into the newly- mown meadows where this plant is abundant.

It is just at this granular stage of the work of making butter that the im­ portant preliminary process, and, there­ fore, the skill and the judgment of the operator are first tested and shown. First-class butter is not made, and can­ not be made, unless the granulation in the churn is of the right standard, and this standard condition cannot be brought out in perfection unless all the preliminary processes have been right­ ly conducted, and the proper condition secured at every stage of progress. De­ fects »here cannot be corrected in any subsequent process. While, then, it may "require no great skill to make granular butter," regardless of quality, yet a perfect granulation is only secur­ ed by the amplication of the highest knowledge known to the business. So long as this is the case, it seems a proper thing to do to invite butter mak­ ers to compare their skill at securing re­ sults at this way station of their pro­ gress, as well as on the finished pro­ duct. With a competent maker for a judge, exhibitors will find that securiug the highest award will not be a "very easy" thing to do,--Maine Farmer. Shipping Celery. In shipping celery there is no advan­ tage in leaving earth on the roots; shake it off and pack iu boxes of moderate size, so that the roots shall not be more ) than two or three tiers deep, otherwise there is danger of heating iu warm weather. Let the cover have open spaces between the boards for ventila­ tion in warm weather, but when there is danger of severe frost it may be cov­ ered tightly. Tests of Potatoes. In a large number of experiments at twelve different stations comparisons have been made of methods of cultivat­ ing potatoes. Seasons vary so much that the results of different methods tfre continually contradicting each other. One season potatoes mulched will yield two or three times as much as those grown in the ordinary way, and the next year the results will be al­ most the opposite. In trials where direct comparisons were made, results from Alabama, Kansas and Utah favor fiat, while In­ diana favors ridge cultivation. Mary­ land, New York and Ohio report prac­ tically no difference in yield between flat and ridge culture. Vermont re­ ports that in one season's trial mulch­ ing when four inches high gave bettt-r results than ridging. Results obtained at the stations in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan and New York are against mulching. The gerieral pendency seems to be toward thorough preparation of soil and level culture. Comparisons of deep and shallow cal- The Good and Bad of Inbrecdinsr. Inbreeding is, the only possible way of fixing a strong, prepotent type, capa­ ble of reproducing itself every time. If properly done, says the New York World, it will^ot'have a tendency to degenerate any line of blood, but it is essential for the breeder to understand the strong and weak joints of his ani­ mals and to be particular never1 to bretMi weakness to weakness. In fact, weak­ ness should never be bred at all. All such animals should be sent to the butcher, no matter how promising the pedigree. While mediocrity bred to strength will give fair returns, yet the best only are obtained by breeding health and strength to health and strength. These are the first consid-' erations, but next to them I value in­ breeding, because of its concentration of the blood, and, if carefully prac­ ticed', there will be no decay or de­ generacy, - A'Point in Jprtmlnjr. Never prune to a crotch like that tree; Thus pruned, trees are very lia­ ble to split down with a heavy load or in a high wind, or under stress of both combined, and the time to shape the tree, so as not to leave a crotch is. be­ fore of when they leave the nursery. I have, perhaps, fifty trees thus wrongly pruned, because I did not, twenty years ago, so fully understand and feel the necessity of avoiding a crotch from the first, says W. I. Cham­ berlain in the Ohio Farmer. Trees often come from the nursery that divide into two and sometimes three almost exactly equal branches; about four feet from the ground and at a pretty sharp angle. You dislike to remove either of the limbs. Still, it should be done, or you will have, as I now have, many large trees dividing in a^crotch of two or three nearly equal limbs; well-shap­ ed and symmetrical trees, but almost sure to split down unless they are bolt­ ed, and the latter injures the trees. Charcoal and Its Value. Charcoal is most beneficial to potted plants if broken in pieces the size of a small chestnut and added to the soil in %ie proportion of one part to twenty of earth. M. Saussure has shown by his experiments, according to the Philadel­ phia Ledger, that the application" of carbonic acid to the roots gives luxuri­ ant growth above the soil. Charcoal, if kept moist, combines with oxygen,' and emits carbonic acid. The best of drainage for the pots of the window gar­ den is two inches deep of these bits of charcoal. An excellent liquid food for plants in pots is made of one tablespoonfnl of soot to one quart of water. Soot holds in its component parts charcoal, salts of ammonia, potash and soda, oxide of iron, silica, alumina, sulphate of lime and carbonate of magnesia. Cultivate Sunflowers. The sunflower is worthy of cultiva­ tion in small holdings where, because of its two-fold virtues, besides being highly decorative, the seeds form val­ uable food for poultry, says American Gardening. In Russia the large seeds are eaten and are very palatable. About 1,500 pounds per acre is the average yield. Grown on a large scale, this might be a paying crop in this country. Sheep for Home Consumption. Whatever may be said of the pres­ ent prospects for sheep as a commer­ cial venture, there is one aspect of sheep husbandry in relation to which no farmer can ever make a mistake, and that is the keeping of a sufficient number of the right kind of sheep to provide an abundance of good, whole­ some meat for use of his own family. Apple Tree Borers. i The apple tree borer attacks the tree near the ground. The insect may be punched out with a wire in the same manner as the peach borer. If the rough bark is scraped off and the tree washed with some preparation like lye or whitewash, the eggs of the moth, which produce the worm, will be de­ stroyed. Manure for Fruits. A food mixture approved by fruit growers is GOO pounds kainit, 800 pounds acid phosphate or dissolved bone and 200 pounds nitrate of soda. After being thoroughly mixed, this is broadcasted in the fall for orchards and vineyards. For small fruits it is used, one-third as top dressing late in the fall, one-third very early in the spring, and one-tliird in the drill before planting. Precautions Against Smut. The spores of smut will live a loug time in the ground, or in manure, and every, care should be taken to destroy them. Cut out every diseased stalk before it has time to ripen and resow itself. One preventive is to select the seed before husking time; taken from the crib, it will very likely have come in contact with infected corn. Rioters Break Into the Jail at Tiffin and Two Are Shot Down by Guards-- The Offensive Prisoner Hftd Mnr- dered a Marshal. Troops Called Out. Martial law reigned in Tiffin, Ohio, Sun­ day night. The gleam of musket and bay­ onet was seen glancing back the moon­ beams on the streets surrounding the county jail. Morris Degan, one of the, rioters, assaulted q militiaman guarding the jail and was taken in custody by the police, who were followed to the station by a howling, hooting mob. The jail doors are wrecks, having been battered from their hinges by an armed mob. Two men lie dead with bullet wounds in head and body, one police officer is at home with probably fatal injuries, two others are injured and a young man has a bullet through his hand. The attempt to lynch Leander J. Mar­ tin, alias Miller, murderer of City Mar­ shal August Shultz, anticipated since the tragedy, was made in dead earnest at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning, and result­ ed in the instant death of Mut'ckler and Matz, members of the mob which at­ tacked the jail. The rioters exceeded 850 men and most of them were under the inr fltience of liquor at the time. The mob came from an entirely unex­ pected source. Six "men gathered on the lawn about fifty feet from the jail and in a moment about thirty others joined them. Then a sharp whistle was heard and out of an alley on the opposite' side of the street and a little to the west rushed fully 800 more, the leaders carrying a rope and several sledgehammers with which to ac­ complish their work. A squad of police­ men who had stationed themselves on the steps, were whisked to one side as if they were so many straws. A rush was made for the jail. The men were without reason and made no demand for the keys. A powerful teamster wield­ ed the sledge. The door was broken in splinters in a short time. With each blow the fury of the crowd increased. When the entrance was gained there was a wild rush and the hallway was filled with ex­ cited men. Sheriff Van Nest and three men stood in the opposite end. He ap­ pealed to them most bravely aud strongly several times, asking them for God's sake to disperse. It did no good, for the men only grew fiercer. The entrance to the corridor is first protected by a heavy sheetriron doOr. The lock was broken off with a few blows and then there remained the heavy grating. Guards Open Fire. Then it was that the guards^ who. were in that portion, began to fire! At first they shot over die rioters' heads. A guard afterward said the men swore to kill every person inside, and to show their purpose they began to fire at them. The guards said no shot was fired by them un­ til "the attacking party had fired through the grating first. Henry Mutchler, the first man killed, was the one who carried the rope. He was shot through the left temple, the ball coming out on the right side, and he died instantly. Then Christ Matz received a bullet through his heart. He was picked up dead. The killing of the two men caused a ces­ sation of the attack. Then the mob thought of dynamiting the jail and sent messengers to all the stone quarries in the city and vicinity, but all 'returned without any explosives. While this was going on Sheriff Van Nest placed Miller in charge of Captain Fa'lkner and Officer Sweeney, who drove him at a breakneck speed to Fremont, eighteen miles away, and placed him in the Sandusky County jail. It was found necessary to call out the local militia, and as the day advanced and the news spread to tlie rural districts Governor McKinley was appealed to for troops, and ordered tlie two companies from Kenton, one from Fostoria and an­ other from Clyde to go to Tifiin at once, once. Story of Mart in's Crime. August Schultz, city marshal of Tiffin, was shot and killed Oct, 28 by Lee Mar­ tin, a farmer, whom he aud Officer Swee­ ney "were attempting to arrest on the charge of threatening the life of a neigh­ bor. Martin had trouble with his brother- l in-law, Abram Sheidler, over a saw-mill in which both were interested. During a quarrel Martin drew a gun on Sheidler and the latter swore out a warrant for his arrest. The warrant was placed in the hands of August Schultz, city mar­ shal, and Patrick Sweeney, who for more than twenty years has been on the police force, and the officers left the city for the home of Martin. Arriving there they found Martin armed with a Winchester rifle, and this they succeeded in'wresting from him. the weapon being discharged in the conflict. While the officers were con­ ducting Martin to their carriage he drew a revolver and fired three shots, one of which barely missed Sweeney, and two entered the body of Marshal Schultz. With the assistance of "heidler the offi­ cers succeeded in disarming Martin and started for the city, and when half of the distance had been traversed Marshal Schultz expired. Feeding Purslane. The best way of getting rid of "purs- ley," or purslane, is to feed it to the pigs. It is difficult to destroy, and re­ sists heat and dry air for a while, even when the roots are turned up. When used as food for pigs, and some one employed to provide it, the crop of purs- ley soon begins to run short, like any other desirable food. Cabbage Unharmed by Freezing. Cabbages are unharmed by freezing if of hardy varieties, but Early Win- aegstadt, a tender sortr is nearly spoil­ ed by freezing. While burying cab-, bage top down may have its advan­ tages, mine are set in a cellar bottom on their roots, and keep well into spring. Pure-Bred Stock. The nearer you can get to.full blood in breeding, no matter what purpose you l&ve in view, the more certain you are of securing good results. If you doubt this, keep an eye on the mosijsue- cessful stock farmers of your acquaint­ ance. You know this is true, and, in finding successful stockmen, always turn to breeders of high-grade and p.ure-brcd stock. --i„;:_ The Treasury shows an available cash balance of $182,183,69.8 and a gold re­ serve of $93,291,087.

'A -- & Killing n Bird. To one""Who reads the signs of the times it is apparent^ that a broader sympathy is taking possession of men's minds; a feeling of kinship with oveVy living creature; a conception that even the lowest animal has a right to life apd to its place in the universe. That relic of barbarism known as the "hunter's instinct," Which means noth­ ing more than a" savage's desire to kill something, is no longer held up to the childish mind as a trait to be ad­ mired and copied. The effect of this nobler teaching is illustrated by an incident which occurred in a suburban town near Boston. A ten-year-old boy of NewtonvHle was given a toy gun by his fath?r, who laughingly promised him a dollar for every crow he would shoot. Highly elated with his gun, and sau->, guine of earning a small fortune by shooting crows, the yot'ing sportsman apentj the greater part of two days in a field watching for the black birds. Not a-crow came near him, greatly to his disappointment, and he reported his ill-success to his father, who said, to comfort him: . , "Well, never mind the crows. I'll give you half a dollar for any kind of a bird you can shoot." Early the next morning the fcey, gun in hand, took up his position in the back yard to watch for sparrows. A half dozen or more unwary birds foon ap­ peared to pick up the crumbs \thicli he had thrown out to lure them within the reach of a shot. At a movement on his part the sparrows rose, and the boy fired. On®£pf the birds was hit and fell to the ground, where it lay for a minute fluttering its wings and then became motionless. The boy went forward, picked it up and looked at it. The poor little head hung limp--the shot had broken the sparrow's neck. For a mo­ ment the boy stood contemplating the dead creature in his hand; then he turned and fled to the house, "Oh, I've killed it! I've killed it, mamma!" he cried, in fi shocked tone. "It can't fly any more!" And all that day his lament was, "Oh, I wish I hadn't done it! 1 wish I hadn't done it!" His father, who had not supposed the boy in any danger of hitting a bird, tried to solace him with the half dollar and suggestions of what could be bought with it. "No, papa,!' was his sorrowful an­ swer. "I don't want it. 1 wish it could make the sparrow alive again. I never thought it would be like that to kill a bird!" "And." said his father, in concluding the story, "1 was more pleased at the J tender feeling .my boy displayed than I should have been had he become the best shot in the State."--Youth's Com­ panion.

One of the ancient customs connect­ ed v-ith Swedish funerals was to place a small looking-glass in the coffin of an unmarried female, so that when the last trumpet sounds she might be able to arrange her tresses. It was the prac- ice for Scandinavian maidens to wear heir hair flowing loosely, while the matrons wore it bound about the head aud generally covered with some form of cap. Hence the unmarried woman was imagined as awakening at the judgment day with more untidy locks than her wedded sisters and more in need of a glass.

They know nothing, beyond heaij say, of the beautiful scenery through the lake region of Wisconsin or along the Upper Mississippi River, which a day­ light ride over this great railway affords; but they back their judgment on their experience with the night train service, which enables them to start from one terminal in the evening and arrive &t the other terminal in the morning: The trav­ eler knows instinctively that the track is perfect, because there-is no apprecia­ ble jolt or jar.

Lewis, who is con­ nected with the artistic advertising department of the Youth's Com­ panion. and resides at 38 Dwight street, Boston, relates that he had his attention called to Ripans Tabules by a business acquaintance who expressed a high opinion of tbexa. Mr. Lewis was a good deal troubled with what he describe- as • a nervous, bilious condition that appeared to be bsought on from -s time to time by high pressure work or special mental activity or. fexci&ment, such as would be common at periods of uQ^Bual nervous tension. It has iieeome his practice at such times to take a 1 Tabule--just one--at the moment V that he observes the difficulty l\ if approaching. It makes no difference when it is. A favorable result is Invariably apparent within twenty minutes. The only noticeable effect is that he feels all right in ' twenty minutes if he takes the i; Tabule; while if he does not the nervous, uncomfortable feeling intensifies and leads to a *bad afternoon and tired evening. He carries one of the little vials with him ali the time now, but doesn't have occasion to apply to it any- thing like as often as he did at first Nowadays there are frequent . periods of from a week to ten days or even two weeks during which he finds that he has no occasion whatever to make use of the Tabules, but still carries them In hla pocket, just the same, so that they ' may be ready if an occasion Occurs.

It wouldn't do, you know, to have them too dangerous. The best way is to take no risk. You needn't worry about damage to your clothes, if you keep to the original washing compound--Pearline; first made and fully proved. What can you gain by using the imitations of it? Prize packages, cheaper prices, or whatever may by urged for them, wouldn't pay you for one ruined garment. T~) Peddlers and some unscrupulous grocers -"Will tell you, UCWalC "this is as good as" or "the same as Pearline." IT'S FALSE--Pearline is never peddled ; il vour grocer sends you an imitation, be honest--semi it back. 846 JAMES PYLE, New York.
