Have It Handy. I An Experience of Qu-en Wilhelmina of Holland with a Wnaher'voinun. The Power of ThouRht. The power in man to think is the es- sence of his soul. Thought can de stroy, thought can eave. Premia Mil ford said: "Thoughts are things ’’ Can you see this thought called thingB? By intuition man perceives that thought are things; by intellect lie realizes the thing, the effects. The power of thoughts has fathomed the depth of the heavens and brought us the com forts and luxuries of our present civil ization. Catarrh In the Head Is an inflammation of the mucous mem brane lining the nasal passages. It is caused by a cold or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. The way to cure it is by purifying and enriching the blood with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine cures catarrh when all other preparations fail. Remember Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is America’s Greatest Medicine. ,1; six for #5. Hotel's Pills cur* constipation. 25 cent*. LABOR AND INDUSTRY. The United States lias 427,668 coke Ovens; Pennsylvania 26,910. The capital invested in cotton mills in South Carolina now amounts to $18,- 614,000. It is estimated that 85 per cent of the silk goods used in the United States ate the products of our own factories. The laboi press announces that E. V. Debs has severed his official connec tion with all labor unions, and will take the lecture platform. A writer in an exchange declares that 500,000 men now do the work,with the aid of machinery, which needed 16,000,000 to do a few years ago. The membership of the Cigarmakers’ International Union is taking a vote on a proposition to abolish the out-of- work benefit and to reduce the death benefits about 20 per cent. A good many of the New England cotton mills may be making silk a few years from now. Some of them have caught on already to the advantages of making the change. It is reported that English machine builders have contracts for the equip ment of many cotton mills in India, including 11 mills being established in Ahmedabad, where six more may be in progress of construction. No household is complete without a bot tle of the famous Jesse Moore Whiskey. It is a pure and wholesome stimulant rec- •mmended by all physicians. Don't ne glect this necessity. The original manuscript copy of America’s national hymn, "My Coun try, ’Tis of Thee,” written in 1882 by Samuel Francis Smith, is now in the famous Vatican library in Rome. At one time it was owned by David Pell Secar, of Bridgeport, Conn., having been persented to him by the author. The Rev. Dr. Maher, while visiting Mr. Secar a few years ago, saw it and suggested that it be sent to the Vatican library.

THEY WANT TO TELL These Grateful Women Who Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham. Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their Ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo men Here are two such letters: Mrs. L izzie B everly . 258 Merrimac St..

Some d’udgery must precede high effoit and attainment in any and every sphere. Mixing colors is the drudgery in tlie greatest artist’s paint ing, as surely as in that of the young beginner in his profession. He who is not willing to do tiie needful drudgery in tlie work he undertakes will never be a sucoess in any high realm of his aspirations. No man who is not ready tiist to tread the lower rounds of a lad der can ever hope to stand by and by at the top.—8. S. Times. There is one thing that does not mind the weather, and that is rheuma tism; and one tiling that does not mind rheumatism is St. Jacobe Oil, as it goes to wotk upon it and cures right off. QUEEN COUNTED THE WASH. H*‘ ciied out in agony, and they ran to the neighbors for help. Soiatiea was torturing trim. Better run for St. Jacoba Oil, or have it handy. It is known to cure the worst cases, and cure etfeotually. Keeplne Ont th- Cold. Hundreds of farm buildings that con tain shivering and unthrifty stock all through the winter months could, at al most no expense whatever, be made very warm and comfortable. Open foundations and absence of any closed foundation whatever cause much of the coldness of farm buildings. Cheap hay and swamp grass abound in almost all sections. If a large quantity of this Is cut and put alwut the building and held there in the manner shown In the cut. the wind would very effectually be kept out Two strips of boards, with laths nailed to them every fifteen Inches, will keep the hay very snug. When winter Is past the hay can be used for bedding frosts will crack It and enable the germ to come forth. Even If not covered at all. the root naturally strikes Into the soil, so that it Is ready to supply moisture whenever the growing shoots demand ft. These seedling peach trees are quite common In out-of-the-way places. Sometimes a valuable new vari ety Is thus produced, though our experi ence of natural peach trees grown from the seed Is that most of them are poor. It is a safe proceedihg to bud the young tree when it has grown from spring until July or August. In that way you may know in advance what class of fruit you may expect to pick.—Ameri can Cultivator. Pitting Potatoes. Potatoes keep better in a pit than anywhere else, but they must be well protected to prevent zero weather from catching them. They should nev er be covered deeply enough to allow them to become at all heated or they will start to grow. The first covering should be not more than six inches deep, and this should not be Increased I until the ground has frozen enough to bear up a man. Then put on a cover ing of straw, over the soil already on, and put on more soil, patting it down to make it shed rain. Leave the pit until actual winter has come and the ground Is well frozen, and then over all put a foot of fresh manure from the stables. Don’t be afraid of driving the frost in, for this will not happen. Keep the manure on until the potatoes are need ed in the spring, for the covered pit will not thaw out nor will the manure allow it to freeze any more, and the potatoes will not sprout until time for planting in the spring if left in the pit. Potatoes that are to be used for seisl BARN BANKED WITtl HAT. should be placed in a pit by themselves during the spring mouths.—American so as to leave them undisturbed until taken out to plant.—Farmer's Voice. Agriculturist Packing Fruit for Market The degree of ripeness should deter mine the time of gathering the fruit Host kinds of pears have a better flavor if picked as soon as their growth is completed and permitted to ripen off the tree. All the fruits should be han dled carefully to prevent bruising, and very particular care should be taken with the tender fruits. The sorting should be carefully done, according to size and color, the wrapping to follow, but all the fruit should lx? permitted to cool before either Is undertaken. Throughout this work, the less han dling that is given the longer its condi tion will remain good. The packing should be done in such a way as to hold the fruit protected from Jostling and bruising while in transit to market but yet it should not be packed so closely as to prevent the air from circulating through It freely. Only such fruits should be packed as are thoroughly sound, free from blem ish. of good shape and of reasonably good size. Tender and soft fruits especially should be cooled as soon after being picked as practicable. The wrappers should not be close enough in texture to confine within them the moisture that comes from the fruit by evapora tion, or the fruit will be apt to mildew. This is often seen on oranges wrapped In a paper of close texture. The changes going on In ripe fruit generate heat, and this should be counteracted as far as practicable. It Is said that even In a well-refrigerated car the heat liberated from the fruit will often more than counterbalance the cooling effect of the ice. Hence, it is important to have rapid transportation to market Before the heat generated by ripening process causes decay.—Texas Stock and Farm Journal. Pun Baths for Fowls. It Is not alone the cold weather In winter, but even more the lack of sun light during its short days, that re stricts egg production at this season. ■ Plenty of sunlight is as essential as warmth to make the hens lively and healthful. But the single glass narrow windows, often only a single pane, and that covered with dust and cobwebs at .all seasons, and with Ice in winter, do little good. What are needed In all henhouses are large windows with an extra frame and glass with a space of enclosed air large enough to fill most of the south side of the building. Keep the place where the sunlight falls free from manure and fill this witli sand or coal ashes. Fowls will dust themselves here, and basking in the sunlight they will soon begin to lay. Vn’tiable F.ncrlish Bull. An English newspaper says that the celebrated bull Merry Hampton has recently been purchased by Mr. Dus tin, of Illinois, for the handsome price of 300 guineas. Merry Hampton is from the herd of Mr. I’eterkin, of Dungin ss. one of the group of Ross- shire breeders, who are so well known at the great English shows. Farm Profit*. Annie C.
