1 PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE. K.it lomr a.co Dr. J. X. Hirsoh, of Chicago, iaiil: "Tho r.iu: t ilelioate perfume upon the luuuls is not a :'u of freedom from serins, ami the most refined are not fue from dis rate of lutis or throat, and the germs are rapidly spiead by touching the hand that has handled the handkerchief of one afflict ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption. The breath one inhales from the lungs of another may contain germs cf disease." You will not only be able to resist the germs of consumption, but many thousands of cases Lave been known where persons who were suffering from incipient phthisis, or the early stages of consumption were absolutely cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It maintains a person's nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate food. It overcomes the gastric irritability and symptoms of indigestion, and thus the person is saved from those symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache, etc., which are so common. An alterative extract like Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will assist the Btomach in assimilating or taking up from the food such elements as are required for the blood, will assist the liver in throwing off the poisons in the system. Do not permit some designing druggist to insult your intelligence by offering you a remedy which he claims is "just as good" because he made it up himself, or ten chances to one you will get a medicine made up largely of alcohol, which will only weaken the system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is heartly recommended by every person who has ever used it and it has stood the test of thirty-eight years of approval from people all over the United States.

LAUCrt i ER , DISLASE. Chooalng a Drag Saw. In choosing a saw hold It up clear of everything with one hand and ring the Trtade with the other, says American Cultivator. li will hum where your knuckles hit it, according to the tem per and quality of carbon In the blade. The longer it hums or vibrates the bet ter the quality of the steel. Then look down the teeth from end to end and see that the blade Is straight and look along on the flat of both sides to see that It is not "bumpy" that Is, hollow in some places and full in others. This is a great drawback to a saw, as it pulls hard through the full spots or bumps, knocking against the cut ends as It runs through the log. It Is a fault very hard to detect in a new saw; in an old one very easy, as the bumps show bright and polished from knocking and the hollows dull from es caplng the friction. See that the saw is not too thick or it wastes too much strength to saw with it. h The Work Horse In Spring-- When first beginning to work the horse after a protracted period of rest it Is far better to use him carefully and not exhaust his ambition. If a long pull Is necessary give him a chance to "take breath" occasionally. If he is sweating profusely raise the collar and other places where he Is likely to be galled, and do not let there be a "scald ed" place under the harness anywhere. Who'i standing cover well with blan kets, and do not allow a horse tj stand where there is a draft of wind. Han dle carefully, clean thoroughly, feed ju diciously, and there will be but little "ar - .' f r c::!!;il"!nt on account of lack of nnibition or i.epreciatlou in value or a necessity xor condition powders.

This has been proven by r.u iiierous cases which have come under the notice of eminent neurologists. They luivo declared even moderate laughter a symptom of nervous hys teria. People have died of laughter. From Austria comes a curious account, of a man suffering- from a nervous disease that manifested itself in paroxysms of laughter. The patient was ::o years of ago and had been subject for t hree years to fits of la tighter, which occurred a I first every two or three months, grad ually increasing' in frequency to a dozen or mare a day. The attacks occurred especially between nine o'clock in the evening" and 0:30 o'clock in the morn in $r. and in greatest frequency between five and G:30 o'clock. In the intervals be tween the. attacks, and immediately he fore and afterward, the man. was per fectly well. The attacks commenced from a tickling" sensation arising from the toes of the left foott. The patVr.t would fall to the ground, where he could lie down. At the height of the attack the patient first smiled and then laughed aloud without any apparent cause for the excessive merriment. The entire act occupied about two minutes. SHE WAS THRIFTY. One Woman Made 93.900 with a Thrash In fir Machine. A woman thrasher is a novelty that is, outeide of the sehoolhouse or home. And the one in question is a geiuiir. thrasher of 1he golden era in of the northwest, says the MicucnrKxi: Jour nal. She came into one of tVr V'-ncap' olis farm machinery lu.i : . . other day to make her final pi; cn her machine. This was start.lir.ar and marked ner as a woman o: t, .; . ia ..u; ca pacity; for the man who mak-.-s a full payment on a thrasher this season is re garded as an exceptionally good man That the lady in question had a business head is further evidenced by the fact that Bhe succeeded in "woiking" the manager of the establishment for $2.50, the amount of her fare home. She innocently told him that to pay her bill in full would take every cent she had and she must take out enough to get home. While the manager gen tly demurred at receipting the bill in full with this discount oil", she ingen iously hinted that it would cost moro than $2.50 to send a collector after the balance, and he tumbled to the situa tion as gracefully as possible. Mrs. Thrasher (or perhaps it is Miss) said that she had made $2,200 out of her ma chine and had 187 stacks of grain to finish this winter, which she proposed to do if the snow was. hub deep. Considering- the fact thdt many machines are being- taken back on mortgages this year, no one can successfully maintain that, a woman is not adapted to this new field for woman's activity. The Locomotive Halt Go. It was a decidedly interesting though one could hardly say a startling pre diction which Senator Depew made in a speech the other night at a dinner of tho Transportation club in regard to future of electricity as a motive power. "Within ten years," said Mr. Depew, "tho steam locomotive of today will be seen in the museum for the inspection of the antiquarian, and we will be able to proceed over the rails by means of electricity at a rate of seventy-five miles an hour. As a railroad official of large experience Senator Depew un doubtedly knows whereof he speaks. The time set for the relegation of the steam engine to the antiquarian mu seum seems brief, but when we re member the progress made during the last teu years in electrical propulsion who shall say that the senator's proph ecy may not be literally fulfilled? Les lie's Weekly. Spiked. "Got a sore throat, eh? I know just the thing to take for it." "There is one thing I have decided not to take for it." "What's that?" "Advice." "Oh, h-in-m, looks some like rain. don't it?" Ilouslon Post. Brltlah Military Oenlas. New forts are being erected and guns mounted at Singapore, and the British authorities, with their usual sagacity, are boldly advertising what ought to be hidden. Both the forts and tne guns mounted on tnem are sur mounted with immense palings, which have been painted white. Thus every position has been earmarked, as though to give a possible enemy every facility to destroy the fortifications should oc casion arise. At Aden the military authorities have painted the railings upon their forts scarlet, but the whito rails round the gun positions at Sluga pore are even more striking and are visible at sea for a distance of five miles. London Chronicle. Greater Pittsburg. The consolidation of Pittsburg and Allegheny will create a municipality having a population of 431,512, accord ing to the census of 1900. The consoll dated city will rank next to Baltimore, which in the census year had a popula tion of 508,057. Greater Pittsburg will be the sixth In rank among Amerl can municipalities. The order in the census year are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore. Bacilli Are Scarce In Egypt. A German physician has discovered that the air of the Egyptian desert is about as free from bacterial life as the polar regions or the high seas. Tuber cle bacilli are killed when exposed six hours in the sunlight. He considers the desert especially suitable for rheu matics and patients suffering from kidney diseases and tuberculosis.

A Creeping Death. his The farmer vho does not give tho -.r.::o attcistin i h!.; poultry that ho docs to the oiu.-r live stock on hl.j farm ':) away behind the times. The pro gressive farmer, while he may not have imro bred poultry, has at least added pure blood to hid flock by the introduc tion of pure bied males and has found that it was a good investment. Having taken t'ni lirst step on the road of progress, it is only a matter of a short time when he will discard the mongrel and semlpure stuff and keep only pure bred stock. In fact, on many farms It word'I be hard even now to find a mon grel fowl. Commercial Poultry. Umbrella-: Never Came Back. "He's very improvident; spends money in the most foolish way." "Is that so? ' "Yes; vhy only the other day he spent 50 cents to advertise for an umbrella he had lost." Philadelphia Ledger. WATER THAT EXPLODED. How Note. Clean pens for pigs and clean bed ding will do much to ward off lice and disease. A boar or sow that is kept excessive ly fat on corn alone will rarely give satisfaction as a breeder. The sow that has nothing to recom mend her but a good pedigree should be fattened and marketed as soon as possible. Better bring in one or two young sows at a time than to discard all of the old sows at one time. It is a mistake to delay the regular and liberal feeding of the growing pigs. When the Home Rana Away. When a horse is running away it is tlien that the driver usually becomes as scared as the horse, and the runa way is not helped much. The driver needs to keep his head at a time like this even though he should lose it at other times. What the driver needs to do is to pull vigorously on one line and then on the other with such rapid succession as to confuse the animal so that his fear may be removed. A known runaway horse should be driv en with care. Tarm Visitor. A Bartender's Experience Under Fire of a FuMUude of Seltzer. "Do you know," said Billy Clark, of the Grand hotel, to a Cincinnati Times Star reporter, as a big seltzer bottle fizzed and two or three men on the out side elevated a foot each on the railing and looked on, "that these seltzer water bottles will explode easily?" And the three men each put a foot down on the floor and moved slightly away. "Sometimes just the temperature of the hand yviII do it, the warm hand, placed against it while bringing it from a cold room, or sometimes while lifting it one will strike it against the counter and it will explode and the metal top will be driven with great foree bv the ga,s One time, while at the Gibson, I refused to give a man a drink. He took it very much to heart and went away vowing he would get even with me. I had turned about as he went out ai d had my back to him. Suddenly there came a sound like a pistol shot. I tried to turn around and couldn't, and I was sure the man had carried his threat into effect and had shot me. Directly following that explosion came another and another, and there was a rapid mu cession of explosions. Then I knew the man had ont-d a regular fusillade on me, and yet I was riveted to the spot. I could not stir. I thought I h;.d bet 11 paralyzed by a bullet. Conielo i'.ml out one of these seltzer water boitlcs in the far end of the counter had exploded and the concussion had started the others, until all had exploded that v re on that shelf. And the man had gone away and I never saw him again. But I never will forget my exjuTirnce of that night, when I was sure I had been shot." ileppntr Gaifclle WtekJj Ortgoniaa.
