"That man 1b a stopper, " marked a police officer to a Star writer a few mornings since, "and he and his class give us any amount of trouble. If he stole, we could reach him by tho . law, but as ho only finds, we cannot easily reach him. " In further explanation, he said: ' 'A stopper is a man who searchci through the garbage cans in tho alleys in the rear of hotels, boarding houses and private houses. Some only search for spoons, knives and forks that are thrown into tho garbago receptaclo by careless servants, for it is a fact that there are moro silver spoons nnd knives and forks thrown away with tho gar bago than are stolen by sorvants, though the contrary is generally believed. The stopper is generally an hour or so ahead of the garbngo collector, and he is often more regular and careful in his rounds . than the garbago man. " 'By industry we thrive,' as tho line in the copy books used to maintain, nnd by industry on a good west end route, especially one which takes in a number of boarding houses or hotels, a stopper can nnd enough tablo ware to pay the expenses of his tour. Often ho makes a rich find. Very frequently ho has per mission to 'slop' tho can from the own ers of the houses themselves, for ho tells them he is on the lookout for stray pieces of meat, etc., which ho sells to those who have degs to feed. Some stoppers are honest enough to return any silverware they may find for the , dog meat privilege, but it is a terrible temptation to many, and one they can not or do not nt times withstand '" 1 W "l.'.

Tumbling mustard Is a troublesoni'i weed In the Canadian Northwest prov inces, and has recently been reported from nine different localities in the United States, mostly on waste hinds and city lots. Its record In Canada, aud the rapidity with which It has al ready spread lu some places in the United States, necessitate prompt no tlou If' its further progress is to be cheeked. The weed Is found through out the greater part of Kurope, north en Africa nud western Asia. Temper ature and moisture have not yet lim ited Its range, and there U every rea son to suppose that if left unchecked It will dispute the possession of land with daisies, thistles and other roul growth.

Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had Scrofula or twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then tnnk fiparlv every so-called blood , mmicuie auu arang tbem by the wholesale, but they did not reach 'her trouble. Some one nrlvlKpd tiprtntrv w.w.vj. um out. , t soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After tak ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am perfectly well, my skin is clear and healthy and I would not be in my former condition for two thousand dollars. Instead of drying up the poison in my system, like the potash and arsenic, h.b.S. drove the disease out through the skin, and I was perma nently rid of it."

Seed Is usually introduced In baled hay, poorly cleaned seed, stock cars or sweepings from grain cars. The timothy seed growers of our Western States should be especially active to eradicate this pest lu ease It appears in their fields. To exterminate, mow the weeds below nil flowers, grub out plant and root during August, harrow the laud thoroughly at frequent Inter vals during summer, nnd seed with sod forinlng grasses.

Feed Corn, The practice Is common among form ers, even among those the most ad vanced, to select seed from the body of the ear, and to discard the small grains that grow on the tips and bulls of tho ears. They do so from the con viction that like produces like, and thu stronger plants should be obtained from tho larger grains. If, however, such a practice were persevered !u Iron) year to yenr, It would result in the production of enrs with few grains of corn on the tips or none nt nil, for i.io distance of a full Inch from the end of the ear. It hns been nscei'tnlned from experiment that corn produced from the butt brains conies lirst In tns vel; that from the body grains tassels next, and corn from the tip grains last of all. The difference between the pe riods of tassellng will average a week or ten days. This is nature's method of providing an abundance of pollen, to complete the fertilization of all the grains on the ear. It may not be wise to plant all the small grains from the tips of the enrs, as there would then lie a danger that the corn would he too thick. This difficulty limy be obviated -y running the seed through a sieve, with meshes of suitable size, after the corn has been shelled. Lutfl Mcnnnro.

To Prevent Kvap-rn(lon. A plank drug behind the cultivator to smooth down ridges nud thus keep the sou from rapidly drying Is advised by many investigators, says Kami nnd Home. This Is particularly Important during a drought when all the mois ture In the soil must be retained if pos sible. Ordinary cultivating between the rows leaves deep depressions nnd high ridges, thus exposing double sur face to the action of the sun and nir. The plank drag smooths down these ridges, while leaving the land light and porous.

In most cases the grain will take less harm in life bundle than out of It. says "Ameri can Cultivator." Ho long as grain was threshed by hand, there was no dangor of the work Iteiug done while either straw or grain weredamp. It made the wuik too hard, and the threshing was jil ways reserved for cold weather, af ter f ros't had thoroughly dried out both straw aud grain.- When horse pow-r threshing machines came into use, there was nearly as mut-b care In hav ing the grain in good condition f:r threshing. We have seen the thresher stalled when the grain came too fast or too damp. In the large steam thresh ers the bundles go through all right, but if damp, more or less of the grain go into the stack. The evil of threshing damp grain is not confined to the loss by waste. What is put in the granary 1 he A pliirr. Strong colonies protect themselves' ngainst robbers.

Hives should be set perfectly level,' especially from side to side, so that the frame will hang plumb. Compelled to Croaa tlie Mountains ad Mulebsck-Taken Blek Uurlua; the Journey, From tho Examiner, San Francisco, Cat. Four years ago, at' the time of the trouble between the United States and Chili, as a result of the killing of the sailors of the U. 8. 8. Baltimore, in the streets of a Chilian oity, many Americans were obliged to leave the oountry for safety. Among them was W. M. Lugg, the private detective and collector, whose offloe is in the Croaker building, San Francisco, Cal. When Mr. Lugg left Chili he went aoross the mountains into Argentine, traveling on mnleback. Mr. Lugg says that the trip is a de lightful one in point of beautiful scenery and perfect westher, but many people dislike to undertake it on ao ooontof the unhealtjhful stagnant water which they are compelled to drink along the way. Many persons have been stricken down with disease from having drank of it, and in a number of oases the attacks have proven fatal, The native Chilians drink the water without injury to their systems, but it has a bad effeot upon thoBe who are not used to it "I fell a victim to the injurious qualities of the water," said Mr. Lngg. "It affeoted my kidneys to an alarming degree. When I got over into Argen tine I thought the trouble wonld grad ually leave me, but instead of that it grew more aggravated and I suffered terribly from pains in the region of my kidneys. I was en route to Cnioago and I determined to reach my destina tion before the complaint should grow so serious as to confine me to my bed, Upon reaohing Chicago I at once oon suited a pnysioian, who told me my kidneys had been affected by drinking polluted water. He treated me for some time for that complaint, but grew steadily worse and new ailments were added to my already serious oon' dition. I began to have neuralgio pains in my head, my spine was affect ed with shooting pains and I had no control over the urinary organs. It was next to impossible for me to get any sleep. I lay awake many a night suffering the most intense pains, and the phyBioian unable to relieve them, "But relief came at last. 1 One day one of my friends oame to my room and banded me a box of Williams Pink Fills. Of nonrse I laughed at him for daring to think that any patent medicine oould aid me when my physi cian bad failed. I took the pills, how ever, to oblige my friend more than for any faith I had in them, and I was treated to the most joyous surprise of my life when I realized that I was be' ing relieved of my pains. First the pecnliar pains along my spine oeased, and then my neuralgio trouble began to grow less and finally left me entire' ly. It took a good while to improve the oondition of my kidneys, but after I had taken a number of boxes of the pills I knew taht they had done their work successfully, for then I had re gained control of the urinary organs and the action of my kidneys was strong and steady. "When I thought I was out of all danger I qnit taking the pills. The relief they bad afforded was perma nent, however, and I have never since felt a recurrence of the complaints. I hardly know how to praise Williams' Pink Pills as they shonld be praised. They certainly are a wonderful prepa ration. I have recommended them to a number of my friends who were suffering from kidney oomplaiuts, and they have all been benefited by theii use." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills oontain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N. Y., for 60 cents per box, or six boxes for f 3. 50. Tonltrr I'olnta Give fowls shade.

" Gladness Comes With a better understanding, of the transient nuture of tho many phys ical ills, which vanish before prom-r ef forts gentle efforts pleasantefforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsot families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to got its bene ficiul effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regulur, luxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely ved and gives most general satisfaction. , MAILED FREE .'..""peJl,Hr"ri.rirst i HOUSEHOLD COOPS.
