It's going to be a cold winter for man and beast, says the New York Herald. The gripman—place him in either category you wish, for the pres ent weather prophet scorns to inftu snce your opinion one way or the oth 3i'—will flap his arms like the wind mill and swearfully speed away, pour ing maledictions on the climate and on tiis all insufficient clothing and de pending for warmth upon the tempera ture of his own language. The hot chestnut man will transfer his wares to a less enviable position and place his hands over the grateful and com Eorting little stove, the while he "car ambas" at everything in sight and Bighs for the land of the smiling sun and the vigorous vendetta. It's go ing to be a cold winter, my country men, and the only man who will wel come the wave of wind and chill will be the plumber gentleman, whose car diac organ will be as warm as the heart of Vesuvius. To such men as are not weighted down with the wisdom that comes of holding communion with the visible forms of nature and hearkening to her wondrous language, it may not be out of place to remark that the goose bone is very wide and nearly all white. Voila! Is not that enough? Are you not, as you finish that sentence, snatching your hat and top coat and rushing off to the coal dealer, the ulster manufac turer and the liver pad maker to get in your orders before the rush com mences? No? You tarry? Sh-h! Not before in eight years—in eight years, mind you—have the goose bones been so white, nor yet so wide. Sure sign. Look at the ragweed closer. How tall it is! Divinely tall, the birds mur mur in their own language. When the ragweed gets as tall as it is grow ing now it as pretty a sight to a non migatory bird as a full hand is to a loser in a consolation pot. That tall ness means a something. It means that there's going to be the. deepest kind of a snowfall around the neck of woods where the ragweed has reared its inviting head. It means that old Madame Nature is taking care of her own by providing a class of food which will refuse to be snowed under. Now, will you go buy that sanitary all-wool suit? You won't? All right. Come closer. Here's more evidence. See the corn husk. Did you ever see a huskier, heavier husk? Of course you didn't or you'd be in the exhibiting business. That heaviness tells the chosen inter preters that there's a cold time com ing. It would seem from these conclusive evidences that the proper thing to do is to get out and corner the wool en goods market. The wool ex change is closed now, so you ought to have little, if any, competition. Oil your skates, brush the moth balls out of your sweater and dig up your fur lined overcoat. LIVELY GOOSEBERRY JUICE. Sparkling Champagnes Manufactured from Fruits Other Than Grapes. Adulteration of articles of consump tion is, of course, a fraud upon the pub lic unless due notice of it is given. But, according to the Lancet,a redeem ing feature of the deception in these days is that adulteration generally oc curs in some wholesome form. Mar garine is an excellent food substance, though it is not butter the potato is very nourishing, but it should not be found in bread. In the same way champagne is an excellent and invigor ating beverage, which in its cheaper forms, however, has often nothing to do with grapes. Gooseberries, ol' course, have placed champagne within the reach of everybody. There was a time when it all came from vineyards, when the poor had to treat the wine as a case of sour grapes. But even in champagne countries there are signifi cant tales of proprietors buying up Normandy orchards of apples, and it is stated that many owners of large pear orchards in France are under con tract to send their entire produce to a firm of wine merchants in the cham pagne district. Lord Palmerston is re ported to have told a deputation of the trade who waited on him that there was never a good champagne year in France unless there was a good apple crop in Normandy. However, though perry, cider and gooseberry wine are excellent drinks in their way, they are not "champagne," and perhaps the public prefers to pay a little more for the higher-priced name. Mean Thing. Cholly—Miss Amy pwesented me with this—aw—lovely stick. Marie— So I understand. She told me she got it for almost nothing,—Illustrated Bits. 1 Mortifying. "The case against yon Is perfectly clear," said the judge. "You stole a package out of an express wagon. It was found in your possession. On be ing opened it was found to contain campaign circulars. The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the county jail sixty days." "Your honor," protested the prison er, "considerin' the value of the goods, can't you make it one day for stealin' and lifty-nine days fur bein' a durn fool?"—Chicago Tribune. I'riicttciil. "My friend," said Mr. Stormington Barnes, "you lack experience in play writing. Your ideas of construction arc painfully impractical painfully so. Why, there is scarcely five min utes in the piece that the star isn't on llie stage." "But I—er—I thought a star rather liked that sort of thing." "Not these days.

Ilonouix, a clover l'ariesienne, has found in pre cious stones a cure for the whole range of human ills the only drawback in her panacea being that a dose of medi cine may cost anything from .$250 to $3,000, and a complete cure from $12, 500 to $15,000. The world of wealth and fashion is flocking to her sumptuously-appointed rooms to drink powdered rubies or to inhale the odor of burnt diamonds. By Way of Advice. "My son," said the Turkey Cock to the Little Gobbler at his side as the Football Player went by, "take that young man as your model. When lie begins to train, do you the same, ancl pert a ps by the time Thanksgiving Day comes you will get your muscles so hard and our weight so fine that vou will be a winner in the game in which our family is so often the loser."— Harper's Bazar. A Conflict of Evidence. The Judge—But the plaintiff identi fied you as the man who stole the chickens. The Prisoner (earnestly.)—Fo' de Lawd, Jedge, mall wife'll identify me as a man what hasn't been near a chicken coop in six mont's.—Truth. Tliey Are Reliable. The American Farmer is sincere in what it says and whenever it endorses an article, be it machinery, proprietary medicine, or a man individually, we •want our readers to believe that what we say we have good reason to under stand is true. For a year or more there have been endorsements of the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, of 167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this paper. People have written us to know if this company is responsible, and if its remarkable remedies, for the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep sia, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc., real ly had merit. We have therefore been at extra pains to investigate, and once again we add emphasis to our former endorsement of that company. There may bo isolated cases here and there which, probably through neglect in fol lowing directions, or from exposure or some unexplainable reason, the won derful Five Drops remedy does not do the work. But it is a case where the exception proves the rule. Mr. Swan son is a gentleman of character and personal integrity, and, we believe, would no more attempt to deceive the public than the writer of this article. They still offer to send a sample bot tle of "5 Drops" for 25c or a large bottle, 300 doses, for 51, prepaid by mail or express. Address as above. Plain Enongh. "Mamma wants half a dozen 'em ons,' said Nellie, the other day, to the groceryman. "What is it you want?" he inquired, somewhat puzzled.

"I never saw anything more remark able," said the young man who claims lo have spent a great deal of time abroad, "than a little scene I witnessed in Spain. A passenger on one of the cars became obstreperous and behaved with the utmost disregard of proprie ty. But the conductor didn't pay the slightest attention to him."

The significance of the. compliment, the splendid character of the endorsement, cannot be underrated. It stamps Dr. Price's as without a peer among the baking powders.
