Ho stood boforo iho police judgo , a wreck. Ho suggested an echo of better days. Ho had been arrested the uliht before for sleeping in an open doorway. The judgo saw that tho prisoner hud Dot always been a tramp and ques tioned him with regard to his past. "Woll, your honor, it was this way," tho man said, quietly. "I haven't always boon as you seo mo dow. I was a stock broker once. When I was a youngor man I bocamo interested in copper. Copper is us ually solid, you know. Well, I mndo a little pilo, then shifted to iron. Iron is hard to handle and I lost. I with drew from speculating for a timo, but the old fascination drew mo again into the maelstrom. I took a flyer in kohio glittering mining stock, but it was u loser. I said I would try ngiiin. I bought a little train of different rail way stock, but I didn't tio to it long enough and went Hourly broko. Tlion I shoved all of my romuiuiug fortuno into pork. It turnod out that pork was on tho hog, anH horo I am." The judgo hnd listened to tho story attentively and at its conclusion dis charged tho prisoner. "Havo you any money?" ho inquired, us tho man turnod to leuvo tho court room. "No, 6ir," was tho roply; "I'm broker now than I over was." Dotroit Freo Tress. Improved Trnln Kqillpmrnt.

In Connecticut, liquors and groccriee cannot now legally bo sold on tho same promises. For a number of years pttHt many grocorics in tho stuto took out what is called a package licenso under which they sold liquors not to bo drunk on the promises. Tho last legislature passed a law prohibiting this and now any grocor who wishes to sell liquors will havo to give up his grocery busi ness. Over one-fourth of Hamburg's in habitants pay an income tax. In Germany ono newspaper is pub lished for overy 13,003 persons. An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Stkup of Fiob, manufactured by the Camfoknia Fio Svnur Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It la the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as thev are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fio Syrup Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package, CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. IAN TJtAMCTBCQ. CAL.

' Tho farmer's wife 1ms about threo rliues as much woik to do as bur city cousin. She aslstn her husband In run ning tho farm. Without tier aid the husband would often II ml It ditllctilt to farm successfully. In many enses tho farmer's wife Is not trented ns sho should be. Frequently the husband has been drinking, and after his death the mortgage takes the property, and tho wife has either -to struggle for her liv ing or go to the almshouse. A good many of our farmers nre members of some beneficial order. TIiIh Is nil right and good, but tho wife can never feel happy, because she has to lose her hus band before getting her money. Tho following Is how I treat my wife: For every article I sell from the farm I give her 5 per cent, of the money for a pres ent. We have only one pocket-book, and when I need money I uho It, nnd when she needs money she uses It. Tho C per cent. Is nil profit to her, nnd Is Intended to be used by her In ense she should become n widow. Borne of tho renders of tho Practical Fnrmer mny think 5 percent. Is n very small portion, but It amounts to a great deal. Farm ers sell a good many articles In n year, often more than they think they do. In ense n farmer would only sell $.100 worth lu n yenr the wife would get $25. Remember, she has no expenses. Sho Is clothed nnd enred for. I am follow ing this plan now for tho last twelve renrs. nnd I nm certain that n good many of the rrntU'ro of the Practical Farmer would be surprised If I would mention the amount my wife has de posited In the bank. Suppose n young man should enter the farm nt the age of 21 and continue his work up to tho age of 03 or 42 years. If he sells every yenr to the amount of $1,000, which Is a very low snle for the overage farmer, the wife would get $50 a year, or $2,100 In forty-two yenrs. A smart wlfo will take enre of her money as well as a beneficial order or life Insur ance. F. F. Frnntz. In Practical Fnrmer. Making Htone Culvert. Whero tint stotics for building cul verts arc not nt hand, nny rough stones enn be used by the plnn In the cut. If for a foot-bridge a single bnrrol Is placed In the ditch nnd rough stones heaped at tho sides ns shown. Those next to tho barrel nre cemented, so thnt when the work Is completed there Is n solid nreh through which tho wntcr can run. Make the nreh that Is ce mented thick enough so thnt tho weight nbove mny not crush It In. The rest of the "bridge" Is laid up with loose stones nnd the top Is sodded over. For a wider bridge, place two or more A.1 -.- ftti x-Mymrs -. . -v barrels end to eud and build the cement arch over them. Where a culvert Is laid up without cementing, the stones settle Into the opening, and thus soon beglu to fill up tho culvert American Agriculturist Ktttiniutes of Feeding-. One of the difficulties encountered by farmers who study the experiment sta tion reports Is the estimates of feeding based upon the live weight of the ani mals. The presumption Is that a large animal should eat more than a smaller one to maintain Itself, and tho tables are given on such supposition. The fact Is that farmers kuow that site does not always regulate the amount of food required. Individual characteris tics govern the matter to a large ex tent, and small animals will frequently consume more food than those that are larger. No two animals arc alike, and there Is no certain rule that can be bas ed upon weight of the animal when feeding. Ebbs of Migratory Wild Bird. It will surprise many people to kuow that some of the most Important migra tory birds are now In process of extinc tion because of man's cupidity, not In killing them, but In destroying their eggs, and thus preventing their exist ence. All of them breed In the Arctic regions, where In summer tbero la the greatest abundance of Insect and fish life on which to support themselves. Man has fouud these breeding places, and so long as be can secure fresh eggs finds ready tale for them at profit able pnees from pbotogrnpners, wtto use only the nib mien for making the films on which their pictures nre taken. It Is true If there were not this supply photographs might be dearer thnn they now nre. But If this use of their egg means the extinction of many migra tory species of birds, such use of them ought to be prohibited by low. Ameri can Cultivator. Plum Tree I'uiikiib. The fungus may be looked for from tho time of flowering till the fruit Is mature, snys Prof. Pummel, of tho lown Agricultural College. Much may bo done by removing tho diseased plums from the trees lu the autumn. I have made observation on this fungus for n number of yenrs. nnd nm certain thnt It Is much more troublesome whero mummied plums remain on the tree Some yenrs ngo I observed the fungus upon the flowers. It attacked tho petnls. stnniens nnd pistil. Soon tho whole branch became nfTectcd with this blight. In a few dnys not n single healthy flower remained on the tree. It was nlso noticed to start from certain pnrts of the tree. I soon located tho cause In tho old moullin-nttnckcd plums which were bunging on the trees. In quite a number of cases the starting point was thus found to be In these old diseased plums. The object lesson Is plain remove all of the dis eased plums In the fall. Horticulturists often overlook this Important point In the treatment of diseases. Hubblsh heaps containing the spores of fungi nre too often ueglected.

He took a poor pleco of ground In the full, and after he hnd plowed It he put on thirty tons of manure to the acre nnd harrowed It In. He wants no manure plowed In unless It Is to be plowed up again In the spring, hnrrow lightly and furrowed two feel apart about two Inches deep. In the furrows he strewed 250 pounds of superphosphate to the ncre. He uses two pounds of specially selected turnip seed to the ncre. When they nro two Inches high he thins them to 18 Inches apart. After this he keeps tho horse cultivator running two or three tlmcB a week between the rows. As ho grows them principally as a succu lent winter food for his Htock, he sows early, thnt they may have time to grow. KcroHcue KiiiiiIhIou.

When wood ashes nre applied lime Is unnecessary, ns every 100 pounds ot wood ashes coutnlu about 40 pounds of lime. Ashes vary greatly, as they nro produced from different sources, easily nbsorb moisture, and their composition cannot be determined without careful examination. The most valuable In gredient In nshes Is potash, the. propor tion being nbout 0 pounds to every 100 pounds of wood nshes. Ashes nlso con tain about 2 per cent of phosphoric acid and about 3 per ceut of magnesia. Coal ashes are of but little value. Wood aabes give excellent results ou all kinds of crops, especially grass. SuKtfcutlou to rrinem. Director of the Census Merrlnm sug gests to tho agriculturists of the coun try that they use some of their spare time between now and June next lu thoroughly preparing themselves to nu swer promptly nnd accurately the ques tions relative to the acreage, quantity, and value of crops; the quantity and value of all farm products, animal and vegetable; the cost of fertilizers and farm labor, and, In fact, all the Items of farm operations for the calendar year 1800, which the census enumerators are by law compelled to ascertain. TuU he says, will result In a full and accur ate census. Holding Crops. Never bold back the crops from mar ket when there Is un opportunity to sell. The-only time to hold on to the grain and bay Is when there Is a sufficient number of animals to consumo such products. It must not be overlooked that grain shrinks with age, because It dries, and It may bo possible to get a higher price per bushel and yet receive less money for the whole owing to loss of weight from shrinkage. Every farm er should carefully study the markets and fully understand wben to sell. v7 Ik Kiithuilnittf Old WhrMmnn, There is an old adago to tho effoct thnt it is never too late to mend, and that seems to npply to tho bicycle, or, rather, to the peoplo who rido it.

Every person ought to have control over the different parts of the body, and it is the easiest thing in the world to educate the bowels, make them do their duty naturally and regularly, and keep them from becoming a source of misery and a deformity as well. '' Educate your bowels! Don't neglect the slightest sign of irregularity but see that you have at least one natural easy movement a day. Pills, salts and black draughts are dangerous because they strain and weaken the bowels. What (you want is a mild but sure laxative, that tones and strengthens the bowels and stimulates their movements. Such a laxative is CASCARETS, and when you try them, you will find that it is the easiest thing in the world to make and keep your bowels clean and regular, strong and healthy.
