Jones, who taid: "Ever ainoe that terrible wetting I reotived, up to a year ago, I wat an invalid. 1 had terrible neuralgic paina In the head which often went to my feet and limb. I wat often in inch a terrible ttate that 1 had to use a crutch to get around or elae alide a chair before me to move about the bouse.

How did it happen?' and I alwaya tell them 'Pink Pills did it' "I have not had tae tlighteat touch of my old illness for the last fix months and feel at if I never had been ill in my life." Mr. Jones taid, "you can readily im agine how highly we regard the rem edy in this house where we have had a wife and mother restored to perfect health."

THE DEPOSED SULTAN. Germany May Reinstate Seyyid Khatid on Zaailbar Tnrone. Zansibar, Sept 14. The belief is prevalent here that Germany does not intend to acquiesce in the action taken by the British government, through Admiral Rawaon, in appointing Ham oud Bin Mohammed sultan of Zansi bar. Seyyid Khalid, the alleged usurper, hat been at the German con sulate ever since the fall of the palace, and, in spite of the request of the Brit ish consul for hit surrender, there has been no disposition manifest ed on the part of German official! to give him up.

Early in the meeting of Yukon pioneers was held at Forty-Mile Creek, and the Canadian government was memorial ized to authorise the construction of a railroad from Taka bay to Tatlin lake, the headwaters of Eootalinka river, a distance of about sixty miles. From there there is unimpeded steamboat navigation to the mouth of the Ynkon, of which the Hootallnka ia a tributary. A part of the railroad would be in United States territory, and for this part of the undertaking the authority of the United States will have to bt secured. " ' ' " ' ' ' . '' After Petty Thieves.

To this amount the county court has added $100, and vigorous step will be taken to secure the arrest and conviction of any offenders. Daring last winter and the past spring few unoccupied houses escaped being broken into, and many small articles of more or less value were rtolen, but, owing to the relnotanoe of the residents of Portland and other towns to devote the time necessary to secure a conviction, the thieve so far have escaped unmolested.

In years when apples are abundant, the sweet varieties are likely In many places to go to waste. That they are not in as good demand as the tour ap ple Is due to their Inferiority or sup posed Inferiority for cooking. A sour apple In pie duly sweetened to take off the surplus acidity, Is, Indeed, better than a sweet apple put to the same use. But farther than this we think the superiority will be with the sweet ap ple. Many varieties are richer and better for eating raw, while for bak ing whole the sweet apple is certainly superior. One of the beet ways of eating baked sweet apples U with milk. Sour apples when baked are too acid for this, and besides, they break down In cooking, and thus their juices dissolve In the milk, while the slices of baked apple retain their shape and distinctive flavor.' Atacoi.u,u warm. Bees will at times bid adien to home and apiary and leave for parts un known. This occurs more frequently In early spring, and arises principally from starvation. They seem to prefer swarming rather than to stay in the hive and starve to death. A cure for this may be affected at once, by giving them a frame of brood and honey from some other colony, or they tuay be brought ahout by feeding. Hwarins all abscond occasionally, and after be ing hived will reissue during swarming time. This frequently occurs from th cause of mismanagement in hiving them. When having swarms, the hive should be so arranged as to admit an abun dance of ventilation, and In excessively hot weather the hive should be shaded. When bees swarm they 1111 themselves with honey to the utmost limit, and In this condition they cannot stand close confinement In hives, with the sun shining directly upon them. Every swarm thus hired should have a frame of newly-hatched brood given tbem irom some otner colony, this Is prac ticed now and by almost all apiarists, and Is a sure preventive of absconding swarms. toimnns Rural world.

Weed and Good Farming:. occasionally a farmer is beard to ask how the weeds can be killed, but ne aoes not realize tnat ir by some rapid process they could alt be dis patched new legions would fill their places at once If the conditions which they enjoy remain. What farmers need to comprehend Is that without some radical mistake in the manage ment of their land the daisies never would hare gained such a foothold All plants. Including weeds, settle and thrive where the competition for life Is such that they can enter Into it pros per. A good stand of grass leaves no room nor any hope for weeds. It Is not in well-tilled fields that Canada thistles flourish, but In neglected pas tures and by the roadsides. In the contest with the best agricultural practice they cannot prevail. The rem edy for weeds Is to keep tbe land busy with a good crop on it, and this meant that tbe farmer must give persistent and connected thought to his business. ir tne daisies crowd out the gram It Is because the meadow has been neg lected and the grass has begun to fail ana wherever there is a vacancy by tne raiiure or the grass every enter prising weed find a rightful oppor tunity to establish Itself. If the farm er asks, therefore, what will kill the daisies, there is one answer: better farming. Garden and Forest A School of Horticulture.
