I commenced taking it again and felt that I was improving faster than at first. I am not now cross and irritable, and I have a good color in myjface: have also gained about ten pounds in weight and ont thousand pounds of comfort, toe I am a I new woman once more and your advice! and your Favorite Prescription is the cause of it, coupled with the 'Pleasant Pellets : which are not to be dispensed with.

'Mr. Edwin M.rkham is having more than his fill of fame. He is wandering about fhc country like an ancient rhap- sodist. repeating and commentating o his "Man with the Jloe." Nu public iinner, no sociological discussion, we might say scarcely a sewing circle. i considered complete without the pres ence of the Call torn ;a poet, reciting himself. Seldom !o.s a pott garn?r so much glory in his lifetime; ?nf we arc glad to be able to say heartily that Mr. Markham deserves much of it. Mo"l of his product smacks of rhe lamp, and a man ought to be- content to Ik.-smel-hrng of a poet without being re gardrd as a phifcsopher or reformer; Imt since Victor Hugo thought 'he was everybody, an all-iound genitif, there is no reason why Mr. Markham should not think himself somebody. He has written some vers;s of distinction and imagination. Now t'ortune has given Mr. Mark ham a new happiness. Mr. Richard I.e Gallienne, who is remembered by his hair more thin by his works, has written an appreciation- cyf the Califor nian and "wishes gratefully to acknowl edge that "Mr. Markham is a poet." To be sure, Mr. 'Markham has not "rhyth mic power" and rhythmic life" and the want of the latter is "the most funda mental disability from which a poet can suffer." From how many most fundamental disabilities a writer can sriTcr and dll be a poet.' Mr; Le Gal lienne fails to tell 'tis: but he does tell us, with a graceful dive into mytholo gy, that "all living poetry, like the wail of Thebes, is built of music. It scarcely needed a crkic from London to remind Mr. Markham. who has evi dently been a student of hrs craft, of that. In the line "Rothschild would give h:s gold for this." Mr. Le Gal lienne objects to "Rothschild." "Midas of Piu-tus if you must," but never Roth schild. Mr. Le Gallienne will be classical or nothing. "Rothschild" is less hackneyed than the proposed sub stitutes, although it is hackneyed cnorrgh, and breathes of Brjanism and sociology, w-htch 2tc dear to Mr. Matkham's heart. But k is useless to follow 'Mr Le Gal lienne in detail. 'It is enough that he his gracefully accepted Mr. Markham as a poet. ?Mr. Markham should as gracefully accept him. We suggest something beginning thus; "Bowed by the burden of his locks he ."j leans Before the glass and gaes at himself. The emptims; of pages in his face And on his back the burden of his name."

Ner grocs Net to Emigrate. , 'l--i--'.'7.- .: ;" .. -t r; ?j "Turn a deaf ear to the man who tells yon that the negro will improve his condition where he emigrates to Africa", was the advice given to the congregation , of Bethe church - by Bishop A. Grant, who recently made, a tour of the Dark Continent. , , , The bishop declared that he had made an investigation of the opportu rnties offereil to the American negro in Africa and he had arrived- at the that the most humbles col- ercd.man- in the South would fail to improve his condition in any portion of Africa. The native negroes, he said, were very ignorant, although mis sionaries of the African iMethodist Ebiscopal church were doing gooa work among them. -Bishop Grant vis ited haU- a dozen countries along the western- coast of 'Afric smarting at Cape Towre. -He also made a trip into the- interior and spent con'sideratele 'iiime, studjf ng tihe country and the native Africans. "Only two countries, Liberia and bvsinia. are ruled by natives." he said, "and the rest of the countries are under the control of England, Ger many, France, and other F.umpean nations. I found that wherever I en countered the En.glish flag the condi tions of the natives was much better than where Germany and France niled the countries. England has been a friend to the native Africans and to humanity at the same time. But Jook ing at . the condition of our native hiethren in the most favora3)le light, there is nothing to attract the negro of AmcricaJ In most of the African countries the negro receives but a shilling a day for his labor. 'He is forced tJ live on native fruits which would not sustain the Americaf negro. You or I could not live a month ' as our African brethren live. Vre would starve to death in a very short time and the" shilling a day would not pur chase enough food to sustain a healthy man or woman." "The native African is advancing, but slowly, I fear. In one of the coun tries that I visited I was told that when one of the native chieftains died six of the best young men of the tribe were buried with him in order to as sist him to the golden seat in the great bcyond.j These' voung men considered it an honor to die in this fashion. In , other countries the natives are canni balistic; I was told that a' missionary i had died and had been buried, but before the earth had settled over his body the natives dug it tip and cut it into pieces, dividing it among them selves."! The "bishop told his audience that a small insect known as jigger made life a burden for the people of the Dark Continent. "The! iieeers are little insects which dig into the flesh and cause great pain." he said, "The nstives say that "the only way to get rid of them is to have them dug out with needles or to bathe the feet mi rum. (All the ships reaching Africa have three things in their car- goes missionaries, gunpoweter, ana ruin. The rum is sometimes used to kill the jiggers. I saw a native suf fering firom jiggers and some Englishmen-! gave him some rum to use in ridding' himself of them. The native drank i the rum and the Englishmen remonstrated with him. He insisted that he! had done right1 He said that he had seen some Englishmen drink rum and that a 4ew hours afterward their feet were shaking so violently that the jiggers were shaken off. This but illustrates the character of the Af rican negro. He imitates every crrc and if directed in the right Hue he goes forward. All this talk of sending the negro back to Africa is wrong. The negro vill return when the Frenchman returnsj to France, the German to Ger many, the, Chinaman to China, the Englishman to England, ami the Irish man to Ireland." Chicago Inter Ocean. WEALTH AT ANY PRICE. George Becsley. of Patterson, N. J., swore he would make $200,000. He was ; then a blacksmith in the Rogers Locomotive Works. -He amassed $175,000 before he died, but.determined as lie was hat his fortune should reach the figure he set originally, he tied it up. giving the merest pittance fro his children until the estate becomes worth $200,000. Now they are pre paring to break the will and are likely to succeed. The .heirs arc a son nnd two daughters. The son is only nine teen and the youngest girl is thirteen. The will provides that the son shall have the use of the family residenc: for life and $400 a year out of the es tate. It further provides that the two girls shall receive $joo a year until the youngest shall have attained the age of twenty-five, which means that the estate is to be tied up in the bands of executor and trustees for twelve years. The children a"re backed up by the trustees in their effort to break the will. St. Louis Republic. TO GROW EARTH WORMS; CUT 'EM. IN TWO. At a. meeting of the Zoological club Mrs. W. II. ISnney read an interest ing paper on earthworms: "I saw stated in a natural history volume that if a worm should be divided the an terior part would grow a tail and the posterior part would grow a head. I took twelve worms and divided them, placing the divided parts of each worm in a separate glass. In less than a month I had twenty-two worms, los ing only two tail parts. The head parts had grown tails and the tail parts had grown heads. Two weeks ago-I divided two worms into halves and put the four parts into a glass, into- which I placed earth; but no food, and the head parts ate the tail parts."

'When wood ashes are applied ime is unnecessary, as every 100 pounds of wood ashes contain about 40 pounds of lime. ; Afhes vary greatly, as they are produced from different sources, easily absorb moisture, and their com position cannot be determined without careful examination. The most val uable ingredient in ashes is potash.' the proportion being about six pounds to every 100 of wood ashes. Ashes also contain about two per cenjt of phos phoric acid and about three per cent rf magnesia. Coal ashes are of but little value. Wood ashes give excel lent results on all kinds of crops, espe cially grass. V THE BILL SIGNED. Washington. .March 24-The Puerto Rican appropriation bill was signed by the president .this afternoon.

AiJ. if he werer unable to nlake it costly, any other way, he would add powdered precious, stones or gold dust. Nero dined on one oc casion froim a peacock which was sprinided with diamond dust and spec imens of that bird dressed with gold or with, crusfired' pear's were by no means a rarity at the triclinia of the rich Romans. : Deafness Canitot be Cored by local appricatioas. as they cannot reach ths diseased portion of the ear.

There the children rent the Looks, the yearly charge ranging rroen twenty cems in the first -grade to eighty-five cents in the -eighth grade.

In- -this way, in most grades, the pupils acsomc time during the year have the use oi from two to three times as many books as they would under the private owner-; ship or lree-tcxtJbook system. Lost to the parents is nominal, as coni-j pared with the private-ownership sys tem, while the objection raised to the; tree-book system, that it is socialistic,; is obviated.
