CHERRY
PECTORAL
f "Two years ago, I had .the grippe,"
and it left me with .a cough which gave
me no rest night or day. My family
physician prescribed for me, changing
the medicine as often as he found the
things I had taken were not helping
me, hut, in spite of his attendance, I got
no better. Finally, my husband, read
ing one day of a gentleman who had
had the grippe and was cured by taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for
me, a bottle of this medicine, and before
I had taken half of it, I was cured. I
Iiave used the Pectoral for my children
and in my. family, whenever we have
needed it, and have found it a specific'
for colds, coughs, and lung troubles."-

Kaffir Corn.
There are varied opinions among farm
ers in this section regarding Kaffir corn.
Mr. lliddell, living near to;vn, claims an
unsatisfactory -experience with it, and
ontiaipra if. nnf an irnriA a a t Vi r nnmmnn
varieties. tsemg new ana untried, it
might be well for farmers to plant spar
ingly of it until it is demonstrated to be
a good thiDg. The following description,
of it appeara.in an agricultural journal :
When rains are infrequent it con
tinues to crow after- inanv other plants
have couie to a standstill, and after a
prolonged period of dronth it promptly
responds to the first fall of rain. The
etalks grow from four to seven feet in
height, and are well supplied with
leaves. When grown only for forage the
eeed is sometimes sown broadcast, and
the crop is fed greed or is cut and cured
like hay. It is much better, however, to
Dlant in drills and cultivate like broom
corn or Indian corn'. From four to five
pounds of seed will plant an acre of land.
It does not germinate as quickly as some
eeeds, aud at first its" growth is rather
slow, but it soon makes up for all lost
time. The time ot planting will vary
with the locality, Dut the seed can safely
be put in as soon as the ground is wtirm
in the spring.

POST OFFICE SECRECY.
Ask a Letter Carrier tbo Address of Your
Friend, and He Will iCiy: "Excuse Me."
It is not generally known that Uncle
Sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an in
violable -secret. Such, however, is the
case, says the New York World.
A New Yorker who had been out of
the city for some time Ifound upon his
return, a few days ago, that one of his
intimate friends had changed his resi
dence without leaving' his exact new
address. All he could gather was that
his friend now lived in a flat on the
north side of a certain street.
When he arrived at the block in ques
tion he found to his dismay that every
house in it was a flat house. He would
have to go from door to door until he
found his friend's name over one of the
bells.
He. had not proceeded far when he
met a letter-carrier making his usual
delivery. Here, he thought, was the
man who could save him a lot of time.
and trouble.
"Yes, sir," replied the postman, in re
sponse to his inquiry, "I know the party
ery well. But I am sorry to say I can
not give you his number. It is against
thel-ules." " -
The same secrecy is observed at, the
post office. The.postal address of any
body will not be given, by the federal
authorities even to a state officer. This
rule is in accordance with the general
principle that a man's dealings with the
government are of a confidential na
ture. JAVA'S NATURAL WONDER.
Home of the Hot Devils Possesses Great
Interest to Travelers. . ' 1
The "greatest natural wonder in Java,
if not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdka' Gumko,"
or "Home of the Hot Devils," known to
the world as the "lsland.of Fire." This
geological singularity is really a lake
of boiling mud, situated at about the
center of the plains of Grobogana, and
it is called an island because the great
emerald sea of vegetation which sur
rounds it gives it that appearance. ' The
"island" is about two miles in circum
ference and is situated at a distance of
almost exactly 50 miles from Solo. Near
the center of this geological freak im
mense columns of soft, hot mud may be
seen continually rising and falling like
great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by. giant hands, and
then again quickly withdrawn. Be
sides the phenomenon of the toiling
mud columns there are scores of gigan
tic bubbles of hot slime that fill up like
huge balloons and keep up a series of
constant explosions varying with the
size of the bubble. In times past, so
the Javanese authorities say, there was
a tall, spirelike column of baked mud
on the west edge of the lake, which con
stantly belched a pure stream of cold
water, but this has long been obliterat
ed, and everything is now a seething
mass of bubbling mud and slime, a
marvel to the visitors, who come from
great distances to see it. . .
ELECTRICITY KILLS THE TREES.
flres Attached to the Branches Destroy
the Foliage.
In France great care is taken in lo
cating the wires that carry hig-h-tem-sion
electric currents, , whether used
for light or for power, but in America
the thing is done more simply. No
one bothers himself about what is to "be
found at the side of the wire, and it
passes among the branches of the trees
and across thickets, unconscious of the
damage that it may do. Now in many
towns, says the Cosmos, it has been
observed that the trees in the cur
rent dwindle and die. It has also been
observed that the death of the trees
invariably follows the rainy season:
the leaves being then soaked with
moisture, become good conductors, and
lead the current down into the tree
from the wire. The wires, to be sure,
have been insulated,- but the protect
ive layer has been quickly destroyed
by the friction of the branches and
the line becomes bare, producing thus
results that it would have been well
to avoid. And the electricity is the
only thing that can be accused of this.
It suffices, to convince oneself, to com
pare the condition of the trees trav
ersed by wires with that of neighbor
ing trees. It lias often been noticed
that in a storm all the trees through
which wires pass die in a few hours,
while the surrounding ones are not
touched. This is a very serious source
of complaint, and causes some law
suits. Barometric Animals.
Cats or dogs in "a house are, it is af
firmed, trustworthy barometers to
those who watch their movements care
fully. If they are restless a change of
weather, especially when rain is com
ing, may be anticipated. The cause of
this is that their skins are extremely
sensitive' to atmospheric influence, so
that any change in the condition of the
air irritates and oppresses them, caus
ing incessant restlessness.
Interesting to Smokers.
A man, says a statistician, smoking
a pipe of medium size blows out of his
mouth for every time he fills the pipe

pipes a day for 20 years he blows out
20,440,000 smoke clouds.
