LEARNED OF LITTERATEURS. Robert Harborough Sherard, author cf "Twenty Years In Paris," tells that Guy de Maupassant despised literature as a profession, and gave to almost any other topic of conversation the prefer ence over boobs. Fanny Y. Cory, one of the foremost American illustrators of child life, lives near Helena, Mont., and she de scribes her home as "just a little yel low and white dot on the shore of a big open lake, where a few water fowl and the postman twice a week a-f» about the only visitors." Sir Theodore Martin is 90 years olt', but is nevertheless about to bring out a book. Entitled "Monographs," it will contain biographical sketches of Gar rick, Macready, Rachel and Baron Stockmar. These sketches are based on articles published in periodical!} many years ago. Marion Crawford, Count Soderlni an! Prof. Clementi are at work on a life ol Pope Leo XIII. to fill four volumes. They possess a great many unpub lished documents which Leo himself gave to Count Soderint for this pur pose. It is said that the work 'will put an altogether different face on the re lation of the last two popes to the question of Italian unity." Thomas Hardy, the novelist, recluse and genius, lives on the outskirts ol Dorchester In a red brick house Sur rounded by tall trees that hide his house from the curious. He dresses as •imply and independently of fashion as most men of genius have done from tho beginning of history. His pet aversion Is the wearing of an overcoat and when the weather begins to be cold he puts on a Waistcoat made of sheepskin In the old-fashioned country style. CHURCH CELEBRITIES. A lectern of carved wood is to be placed in the new All Saints' church, Ap pleton, as a memorial to Amos Adams Lawrence, of Boston, founder of Law rence university, in Appleton, Wis. Ex-Representative H. Kirke Portet, who represented Pittsburg, in the last congress, will make a tour of the world to raise $1,500,000 for Baptist missions. This money will be used to endow schools In foreign lands. Rer. P. Bonvin, S. J., the eminent mu sician of Canisius college, Buffalo, has written a new mass, the manuscript of which was submitted to Rome for ap proval, and at once received the im primatur of the committee of cardinals having the matter in charge. Rev. Dr. William S. Rainsford, widely known as the ''strenuous parson," who has been successful in building up a large institutional church work in New York, has resigned the rectorship of St. George's Episcopal church, in Stuy vesant square, on the ground if ill health. Rev. Robert Harley is the only Con gregational minister who is a member of that famous London club, the Athenaeum, and he is also a F. R. S. It is curious to reflect that whereas he has made a world wide reputation as a mathematician he showed but little ap titude for mathematics as a boy, and was 14 before he really knew his multi plcation table. SOYS SHOULD NOT— Laugh at. the suggestions made by Ihe man over you. Attempt to put a wrong construction on a girl's words. Imagine assurance will supply the place of knowledge. Sneer at those who are trying to give you geed advice. Refuse to try an experiment because you think it has no -merit. Refuse to explain honestly why you fail to keep your appointment. Think it makes you appear large to belittle the ability of others. Speak slightingly of the man who warns to curb your enthusiasm. Write a letter in a way that an expert is required to decipher it. Spend your cash recklessly with the Idea of deceiving those around you. RHEUMATISM CURED The Disease Yielded Readily to DA Williams' Pink Pills After Other Treatment Failed. Dr.Williams' Piuk Pills enre rheuma tism because they supply the necessary elements to the vitiated blood and en able nature to cast out the impurities and effect a cure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No. 119 Fitch street, Syracuse, N. Y., will furnish living evidence of tlie truth of this statement. There has been rheu matism in my family ever since I can re member," she says. My grandmother was a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism and my mother also had the disease iu a mild form. About a year ngo 1 had a hard cold and rheumatism caught me iu my left knee. There were •sharp pains, confined to the neighbor hood of the knee and they seemed to go right into the bone. The pain I suffered was intense and I also had dizzy spells. "The doctors callcd my trouble uriatic and sciatic rheumatism. Wheu I didn't get better under their treat ment my brother-in-law suggested that I try Dr. Williams'Piuk Pills. I bought three boxes, and, by the time I had taken them, the pain and dizziness lind entirely left ine. I wanted to make sure of a cure so bought three more boxes, but 1 didn't take quite all of tiiein as I found that I was entirely cured. Before! took the pills the pain was so severe that I had to cry at times and when I was cured I was so thankful and grateful and I am glad to recommend them to every one who suffers with rheunjatism." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured severe cases of anaemia, sciatica, nervous ness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia mid St. Vitus' dance that have not re sponded to other modes of treatment. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Fink Pills or they will be sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for f2.50, by the Dr. Wil liam* Medicine Co., Schenectady, 7. FARM A^GARDEN GOOD LAND LEVELER. How to Arrange a Pole Drag Which Will Pulverize the Soil Sat isfactorily. For many seasons I have found a pole drag, such as shown herwith, to be very ureful In leveling and pulver izing the soil, writes a Michigan cor respondent of the Farm and Home. The sketch shows the arrangement SOIL PULVERIZER AND LEVELJSK. which consists of three hardwood poleu six inches in diameter and eight feet long. The poles are fastened together about one foot apart by means of short pieces of chain. A board is bolted to the front piece and allowed to extend beyond the third. To this board is fastened an old mowing machine seat which forms a comfortable place for the driver. The double-tree is at tached to the front pole by a short chain. POTATO SCAB. Application of Corrosive Sublimate to Seed Will Prevent the Disease Appearing. The effect of corrosive sublimate in preventing scab will be made plain when we understand the cause of scab to be a minute microscopic plant which penetrates the skin of the po tato, lives on the substance of ths tuber and matures its' seed there. When scabby potatoes are planted without treatment, the seed of the fungus is also planted, and with the new crop of potatoes an increased crop of the fungus is produced, until the market value of the potatoes is almost destroyed. It has been found that a bath of the seed potatoes in a solution of corrosive -sublimate kills the scab fungus, and if the soil has not had potatoes grown upon it re cently, the new crop will be quite free from the disease. Take three ounces of corrosive sublimate and dissolve in ten gallons of water, using a barrel that you do not use for any other pur pose for the solution. Put what seed potatoes this water will cover in a thin bag, and let them remain in the bath two hours. I have treated seed sufficient for two acres without re newing the strength, writes a corre spondent of the Country Gentleman. We sometimes cut the potatoes before the bath, sometimes after, without any difference ip results. Do not for get that corrosive sublimate is a poi son. Keep the treated potatoes and the barrel containing the solution out of the reach of animals. I more than suspect that the rot fungus, if any adheres to the seed potatoes, is in large measure destroyed by this bath. RETAINING THE HUMUS. Exposure to Sun After Plowing or the Application of Lime Apt to Be Destructive of This Element. What is known as humus in the soil is vegetable matter in the process of decay. Some of this vegetable matter decays in a few weeks, while others require several years to change their form. This mass of vegetable matter in the soil adds bulk to it, which bulk both helps to let in the ali and to re tain moisture. The decaying vegetable matter holds more moisture than the soil particles, and it has been shown that soil rich in humus has a larger per cent, of moisture at all times of the year than does soil out oF which the humus has been exhausted. Humus is destroyed not only by this natural tendency to decay, but by its exposure to the sun, when it has been turned up by the plow. It is also destroyed by quicklime, which in doing so liberates the plant food. For this reason, says the Farmers' Review, the application of fresh lime to soil is frequently de structive in its results. The los3 o! humus in the soil weakens it in regard to its ability to resist drouth and to produce crops. BELIEVER IN DEEP PLOWING What a Missouri Farmer Thinks Are the Benefits to Be Derived by the Method. I believe in deep plowing, writes a Missouri farmer, because it will deep en the soil and soil reservoir which holds the moisture. In the country where the soil is shallow I like to plow a little deeper each year, and in so doing I will gradually increase the depth of the soil. The furrow slice should be turned so that ihe harrow or the implement which .ollows can do the work after plowing. The sur face of the field should be left in a corrugated form so that harrow or cutter can get hold to do the work. The furrow Elice m*st not stand on the end or bs turned flat Another Important point is to not plow Th«r too wet, for it will g.eatly injure tho •oil and the ground will be harder to work afterwards. Don't get in too much of a hurry fur it aever pays to plow ground when it is too wot A LIVING DEATH. Vividly Described by a Citizen of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Andrew Johnson, 411 West Twelfth St., Sioux Falls, 8. D., says: Doan's Kidney Pills saved my life. My doctor, from a careful analy sis of the urine and a diagnosis of my case, had told me 1 could not live six weeks. 1 was struck down in the street with kid ney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house. I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, 1 bloated at times, my back hurt and 1 suffered a living death. There seemed no hope until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Then I began to improve. The pain left gradually, the swellings subsided, I gained appetite and weight, and, to make a long story short, I got well!" Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. AN UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. They Were All Creditors and Not One Ever Oot a Cent Due Them. "Did you ever sit down at a table where there were just 13?" asked a man ol his companion in a railway carriage. "Once," replied the latter. "Well, you never observed that any bad luck followed it, did you?" "Why, ve». Bad luck for most of the 13." "Any of them die?" "Not that I know of. Never heard o! any of them dying." "Not enough victuals to go round?" queried the other. "Who's talking about victuals? There wasn't any victuals." "Thought you said you eat down to a table where there were 13 persons. "That's what I sad. The table was is a lawyer's office. It was a meeting of my creditors. There were 12 of them. I was the other man." There w.is a long pause, and then the 6rst speaker inquired: "In what way did the meeting prove un .ucky, may 1 ask?" "None of them ever got a cent from me." answered the other, heaving a deep cigu as he left the carriage. The Favorite Route East. Passengers from Chicago to Ft.

We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four day* he began to show a brighter spirit ana really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful 6ight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies.

The better class of druggists, every where, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best oi remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which visually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels,-arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figa, and they are glad to Bell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives f./id the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recomniend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such^preparations sometimes have the name—" Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system.^ In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resoft to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealeif passes off on a customer a preparation tinder the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of \he package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, aid should be avoided by every one who values health and happin« ss. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company-— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.
