The Secret of Long Life and
JHow to Overcome Waste.
To n K'kozc thysrlf," is to take advantage
'.f life's secrets" and equip one's self with
armor which will successfully resist the
attack of disease in
the battle of life.
The old idea of fate
or "kismet," and
that a person al
ways dies when his
time comes, is now
exploded. Every
mechanism, wheth
er made by God or
man. has a definite
amount of wear
and its life can be
lengthened 01
shortened according-
to the care thai
is given it. If ac
cident or careless
ness destroys the
works of the watch
or the human mechanism an end comes
4o its usefulness, but it has not actually
'worn nut" Man's system at times grets
fusty like the wheels of the watch and
-only needs a little cleaning and oiling to
put it in shape for life's battles.
An imitation of nature's method of rc
sSoring waste of tissue and impoverish
ment of the blood and nervous force is
used when you take an alterative extract
nf herbs and roots, without the use of alco
hol, like Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, tins vegetable medicine coaxes
the digestive functions and helps in the
issimila".ion of food, or rather enables the
orpins t'j take from the food just the
nutriment the blood requires.
Prof. J. K. Tauguay, of 61 St. Peter Street. Que
liec, writes : " I had been ill for some time with La
Grippe and did not tegniri my strength. With
in a w(c after using Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
lical Discovery, I was able to be around again,
and 1 found that my system was entirely free
from any of the bad elK-cts of La Grippe. I
now keep a bottle of the 'Golden Medical Dis
covery ' on hand, and, w hen I catch cold, take a
few doses, which keeps me in perfect health.
As a builder up of lost strntfth and vitality 1
do not believe your 'Discovery' has an equal."
Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical
Discovery." There is nothing- "just as
jOod " for diseases of the stomach.

A little more than 10 years ago
'diaries Warren Fairbanks was hardly
thought of as a factor in political life.
"Yet in 1892 he was made chairman of
the Indiana republican convention, and
one year later received the entire vote
of his party in the legislature for the
United States senatorship. The vote,
liowever, was not large enough to elect,
la 1807 his election came, and Jscarcely
even years after his appearance in In
diana politics he was talked of for the
ugliest honors in the gilt of the people
it the United States.
Senator Fairbanks is a native of Ohio,
.jAving been born at Unionville Center,
that state in 1852. He was graduated
;rom Ohio Wesleyan university at the
sze of 20 and began Ins career as a
newspaperman. Through the influence
of his uncle, William Henry Smith,
1 1' esi-lrnt of the Associated Trees at
bat time, be secured a position with
viiat organization at Pittsburg. He
:'o;id 1 time to practice journalism and
law at the same time, and soon
ifter Le became a graduate of law his
ll'ility secured for him the position of
-solicitor for the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad. His success in corporation
!;iw gave him a wide reputation, and at
the time uf his election to the senate he
'vas known as one of the most skillful
vailroa'l attorneys and financiers of the
Test.

ti:2h compliment was paid to Mr. Fair

Sheep Growing States.
Montana remains at the head of the
wool-producing states of the Union. The
report of the acting statistician of the
department of agriculture shows that
this state has more sheep than any other
state in the Union.
The report indicates that Montana has
5,270,063 sheep, having an average value
of .f 2.31 a head when the estimate was
made.
Wyoming is second with 4,002,058
head, with an average value of $2.58 a
head. New Mexico is third with 3.S00,
460, with an average value of if 1.93 a
head. Idaho is fourth on the list with
3,58S,031, $2.21 a head.
Next in order are Ohio, Oregon, Cali
fornia and Michigan, each above the 2,
000,000 mark. Colorado, Texas, Wiscon
sin, New York and Arizona each have
more than 1,000,000.
The most interesting thing about the
sheep census is the fact that the 51,630,
144 head in the country shows a decrease
of 12,334.732 head.
That is a shrinkage in numbers that
is highly important to flock raisers all
over the land. The total number of
sheep reported in the United States lad
vear was 63,964,876.

She Can Farm.
Connecticut farmers, who continually
bemoan that the old state is used up for
farming, may learn something to their
advantage by consulting pretty Miss
Bertha i.. Weed, who makes monev till
ing a tough little farm in the town of
North Canton. Miss Weed superin
tends all the operations on her place, is
up with the sun every day, raises stock,
sells milk and butter and has a big yard
full of some of the best fowls in the
state. What is still more wonderful,
she has learned how to make money in
the -risky business of raising spring
chickens for market. She makes a
small fortune yearly selling eggs. Some
of them are extraordinarily large. She
presented a couple of them to the editor
of the Hartford Courant this week.
They weighed half a pound apiece, and
are the biggest hens' eggs reported in
the state this season. New York Sun.
Getting Money to Go Shopping.
A well known artist, whose studio ia
In New York, but whose home is in a
pleasant village an hour's ride from the
metropolis, promised faithfully one
morning that he would do some shopping
for his wife. On arriving at his studio
he found that he had money enough in
his pocket for his lunch and no more.
What to do about the shopping? Sud
denly he bethought himself of an order
for an illustration that he had received
from a magazine. He set to work, and
in less than two hours had finished the
drawing, collected .f 00 for it at the pub
lisher's office and had started on the
more exhaustive labor of shopping.

Mamminii a Hour,
To slam a door may be an evidence of
bad temper or bad manners, but it ia
also a popular superstition that slam
ming a door is wicked. This belief is
undoubtedly duo to a supposition t-nter-tained
by many nations that the souls of
the departed hover about the place where
they departed from their bodies. Th
Indians of this country frequently howleii
and beat the air with brushwood in or
der to drive away the spirit of the pris
oner thoy had just killed.
The negroes of the Congo abstain from
sweeping out their huts for a year after
a death has occurred for fear that the
dust may interfere with the spirit of the
departed. It is in northern Europe that
the superstition concerning the slamming
of a dour arose, the fear being euter
tainod that some Fpirit might be caught
in the slamming. New York Tt-U.firam.
