Doan’s Kidney Pills In
the summer of 1899, for
I have had no reason In
the Interim to change my
opinion of that remedy. I
was subject to severo at-
tacks of backache, al-
ways aggravated It I sat
long at a desk. Doan's

stopped my backache. I
have never had a pain or
a twinge since."

To the house wl?p who has not yet

of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the

Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains IS oxs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 oxs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.

CUTICURA SOAP
Tha World’s Greatest Skin Soap—The
Standard of Every Nation of
the Earth.
Millions of the world’s best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cutl-
cura Ointment, the purest and sweet-
est of emollent skin cures, for preserv-
ing. purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of failing hair, for softening, whiten-
ing and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itebings and
chafings, and .many sanative, antisep-
tic purposes which readily suggest
themselves to women, especially
mothers, as well as for all the pur
poses of the toilet, bath and nursery.
Confessions of Gaston
I have noticed that the average
man can dross, feed and curry the
horse, mow the lawn and read Ihe
morning paper while liis wife is slip
ping into a dressing sack.
I never fully understood why a dog
when he has a bone to bury, prefers a
flower bed to any other place.
When I want to make an elderly
man warm under the collar I pretend
to think that he is about six years
younger than he really is.
I will say this for the bartender:
He nearly always looks clean.
I confess that I can not see any
object in weighing the baby, or that
it makes any difference whether it
weighs eight pounds or nine.
Plenty of Time to Rest
Julian Mitchell says that an actor
who belongs lo one of his companies
went to a little hotel in the Adiron-
dacks late in June to wait until the
opening of the season. Through some
mistake a call was placed opposite
the actor’s name for six-thirty one
morning, and at that hour he was
awakened. The porter who did the
calling was so resolute about it that
the actor douned his clothes and went
down stairs, where he was told that
breakfast would not be ready for au
hour or so. "Why in thunder did you
awaken me?” demanded the actor.
“Here I am dressed at seven o'clock,
and I have nothing to do until Sep-
tember."
HABIT'S Chain
Certain Hands Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher esiimates
(nat the amount of will i>o\vcr neces-
sary l • break a life-long habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons.
it sometimes requires n higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead a
forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A
lady writes front an Indiana town:
“From iny earliest childhood 1 was
a lover of coffee. Before L was out
of iny teens I was a miserable dys-
peptic. suffering terribly at times with
iny stomach.
“I was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
1 could not deny myself a cup for
hreakfart. At the ago of 116 l was
In very i>oor health, indeed. My sin-
ter told me I was in danger of becom-
ing a coffee drunkard.
“But I never could give up drink-
ing coffee for breakfast although it
kept rr.e constantly ill, until I tried
Dostum. I learned to make it prop-
erly according to directions, and now
we can hardly do without Postum for
breakfast, and care nothing at all for
coffee.
"1 am no longer troubled with dys-
pers'a, t'o not have spoils of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me sc. when I drank coffee.” Name

The nitrogen of the soil Is one of its
most important constituents and a fer-
tilizing element that quickly disap-
pears. It volatizes rapidly and one of
the chief agents of holding it in the
soil is the humus. When the humus
becomes exhausted the nitrogen es-
capes witn Increased rapidity. Ex-
periments with continuous wheat
glowing on the same soil have shown
that the animal and vegetable matter
in the soil disappears very rapidly.
This causes the liberation of the nitro-
gen. As long as the nitrogen is in
combination with and forms a part of
the humus, or decaying animal and
vegetable matter of the soil, it is in a
stable form; but as soon as the humus
decays the nitrogen is liberated in
various gases and soluble forms,
which are easily lost from the soli. It
Is the statement of scientists that
there is no element that is so readily
Host as nitrogen. It Is not possible for
the mineral forms of plant food, such
las potash and phosphoric acid, to be
converted into gaseous and soluble
forms by the ordinary chemical
f changes that take place in the soil,
as in the case of nitrogen. With
them the principal loss is in their
removal from the soil as plant food.
But with humus it is different. There
is a loss of course of the plaut food
by its being used by the crops, but
much additional is leached downward
by the soil water and some is sent
off in the form of gas when the humus
decays. We have an illustration of
this in the decay of piles of manure
and vegetable matter. We say that
we can smell the ammonia rising
from them; but that ammonia is the
,gas into which the nitrogen In the
decaying mass is being changed.
The loss of soil nitrogen can only
be prevented by keeping up the hu-
mus in the soil. In most countries
rotation of crops alone is able
to do this. Some men brag that they
have grown wheat year after year on
the same soil for a generation with-
out loss, but it will be found that such
soil was in the beginning very rich
in humus. By all means rotate, and
.include in the rotation some of the
llegumes.
Winter-Grown Asparagus.
Asparagus can he grown in' the cel-
lar in winter wherever the owner
heats his house by means of a fur-
nace. The natural conditions in such
a cellar are favorable to the forcing
of asparagus, aR the temperature at
night usually hovers around 55 de-
crees and in the day time runs from
;65 degrees to 80 degrees. We do not
■believe that the amateur will find
much profit in this, but some of the
‘professional gardeners do, and it may
.interest some of our readers to try the
experiment and have a few messes
of tender asparagus in winter.
To get the results named, roots are
dug up in the fail before the ground
,is too bard frozen to make digging
them out possible. If the roots have
been frozen, so much the better, as
they then respond more quickly to
the forcing process. They are placed
in boxes in the cellar near the fur-
nace. Two or three inches of soil
should be under the roots and five, six
or more inches of earth above, as the
shoots need to be protected from even
the dim light that is found in a cel-
lar. Light is not needed to make the
roots produce shoots, as they produce
them from the substance laid up In
the roots, but do not lake anything
from the soil. Nevertheless, much
moisture is needed, as the shoots can-
not develop without the help of a
good deal of water. A neglect in sup-
plying moisture will soon render the
roots unproductive.
Roots should begin to product
shoots in about twenty-five days after
being placed in the cellar. At some
•of the stations roots placed in the
cellar about the first of December
have produced four or five good cut-
tings before the middle of February.
When the roots are done pr< during
:thcy have to be thrown away, as they
will thenceforth he of no good for the
developing of tops and new roots.—
Farmer’s Review.
Potato Scab.
The potato tubers are often made
rough and scabby by the growth of
the disease on their surfaces. These
injuries vary from a rough or russet-
ed appearance to deep scabs or ulcers
that greatly injure the appearance of
the potato. Singularly enough, scab
is more common in the best potato soil
than it is in localities where the crop
is precarious. Sandy or gravelly soils,
when first brought under cultivation,
often give a large per cent of scabby
potatoes, but after one or more crops
of alfalfa have been plowed under,
this tendency is partially corrected.—
Michigan Farmer.
Nitrogen Costly.
Nitrogen is the most costly element
in feeds for animals on the farm. The
pitrogenous or protein foods make
hone, muscle, hair, wool, eggs. milk,
etc., and it is this class of foods that
is most lacking on most farms. Good
dairymen and breeders make up ihir
deficiency by supplying nitrogen and
have practically solved the question of
profitable agriculture which all the
scientists in the country have tkr.
far failed to do through tho depart
ment of agriculture.—Barnum’s Mid
land Farmer.
GOOD INDEX TO CHARACTER.
Habits and Idiosyncrasies Betrayed in
the Laugh.
Anthropologists say that the ability
to laugh comes to the child as it
grows older. The first smile is ob-
served when the child is about forty
to sixty days old. but it does not be-
gin to laugh until some time after
that.
Children and women laugh more
than men, not because the cares of
life lie less heavily upon them, but
because the the former are more ex-
citable. and because the moderating
power of the cerebral hemispheres is
less in them than among men gen-
erally.
Profound study makes men serious,
and so foolish people are sometimes
noted for laughing immoderately.
Yet laughter is not so much an index
to intelligence as it is to the condi-
tion of health. Healthy, vigorous peo-
ple are proverbially of good-humored
Joyous, laughing natures, while the
“sallow, gloomy-eyed dyspeptic” is a
description scientifically accurate.
The envious, wicked and malevolent
rarely laugh, because, phrenologists
say, they are impregnated with bile,
and are, therefore, morose. The
haughty, the vain and the awkward
also laugh very little, for fear of los-
ing their dignity. The Spanish people,
proverbially grave, are a good ex-
ample.
People who have lines extending
downward from the angle at the
mouth toward the chin well marked
rarely laugh, and, moreover, show a
tendency to pensiveness in youth and
melancholy In after life.
Those Who have lines raying out-
ward from the eyes are, on the con-
trary, people who laugh a good deal,
especially when the upper lip is
framed by two deep furrows running
down in the mouth.
Retaliation at a Dance.
She was young. It was her first
season, and it pleased her to snub her
cjb cousin most unmercifully when-
ever he asked for a dance.
’ No," she protested, one evening,
“you can’t tee my program-—it’s all
full.”
“But there'll be extras. Can’t I
have an extra?”
“Ye—es," returned the young wom-
an, grudgingly re'inquishing her card,
“but don't take the first one, it's prom-
ised."
Later in the evening when she
looked to see which dance he: cousin
hail appropriated she found that she
had food for reflection. The young
man had put liis came down for the
four hundred and ninety-ninth extru.

The Porch.
When father built the veranda.
He kicked about the expense.
Rut mu, she said:
•'Don’t mind it. Ed—
Ddh't think of dollars and cents."
That autumn Clara was married.
It made pa glad as could be.
And ma would smile
Most ail the while.
“I'm proud of that porch." said she.
Last summer both Belle and Amy
Would race for the porch at night.
And all the rest
Of us thought best
To stay indoors, out of sight.
But Belle ran faster than Amy—
She got her man in July;
And I'll commend
That porch to send
A bachelor's oath sky high.
Last Sunday Amy informed us
That she had told Jimmy “yes."
And now us three.
Pa. ma. and me.
Can got on that porch. I guess.

An Extended Chair.
When President Eliot of Harvard
toured on the Pacific coast some twen-
ty years ago. one of the Western seats
ol learning which he visited was the
University of Washington at Seattle.
He became much interested in Prof.
O. B Johnson, a well-known figure on
Puget Sound in those days, who was
one of tip? college's leading lights, and
in the course of a conversation asked
the Western man what chair he held.
“Well," said Johnson, "I am pro-
fessor of biology, but I also give in-
struction in meteorology, botany,
physiology, chemistry, entomology and
a few others.”
“I should say that you occupied a
whole settee, not a chair," rejoined
Harvard’s chief.—Chicago Record-
Herald Sunday Magazine.
Paid an Old Debt.
“I have just had my first actual ex-
perience with ’conscience' money, so
to speak,” said a prominent business
man.
"Seventeen years ago a man con-
tracted a debt with me. and as I had
never been able to muke collection, had
to give it tip as lost. There was no
way to collect it by law. and you can
imagine my surprise when I received
a check to-day for |500. While this
did not cancel the amount. I appreciate
it deeply, and can use it to advantage
just now.
"It is not often that a man owing
a debt pays after so many years, es-
pecially when the law could not reach
him.”
Masonry and Truth.
In France a man, called as a wit-
ness to court, demurred to taking
the oath to tell the "whole truth,”
because it might require him to tell
Masonic secrets. The grand master
of Freemasonry in France has written
to the court stating that there was
nothing in the Masonic oatlt which
would prevent a witness telling the
whole truth. If anything, the oath
made him a freer man.
Long Service in India.
A British regiment recently landed
in Southampton after twenty years’
service in India. Only six men ol' the
regiment that sailed from England re-
turned with it.

Snakes with Eye-Glasses.
Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes, inasmuch as Ihelr eyes
never close. They are without lids,
and each is covered with a transpar-
ent scale much resembling glass.
When the reptile casts its outer skin,
the eye scales come off with the
rest of the transparent envelope out
of which the snake slips.
This glassy eye-scale is so tough
that it effectually protects the true
eye from the twigs, sharp grasB and
others obstructions which the snake
.encounters in its travels, yet it is
transparent enough to allow the roost
perfect vision. Thus, if the snake has
Inot a glass eye, it may, at any rate,
tie said to wear eye-glasses.
A similarly protected or cased eye
which very nearly approaches a glass
jeye, or, at any rate, an eye of glass—
'is to be found in fish. From the char-
acter of the element in which they
^live and the subdued light that reaches
,them, fish have no need of eyelids,
either to wash the eye or protect it
.from glare, and. therefore, eyelids are
absent; but some of them need the
protection of the transparent, horny,
convex cases which defend their eyes
without obstructing the sight.
Got Runaway Husband's Money.
A romantic story of a long lost hus-
band and an unclaimed fortune comes
from Melbourne, Australia. A Ixindon
engineer, named Charles Arnold, who
rwent to Melbourne in the fifties with
this wife, left to inspect some mining
iriaims at Bendigo, and was never seen
rigain. His wife gave him up for
■dead, but it was afterwards found out
that he had gone to America, married
figain, and died, leaving half a million
Hollars. This, by will, he bequeathed
jto his children by his American wife:
Ibut part of the property was in one of
those states of the Union where the
rights of a legitimate wife and child-
ren prevail over the provisions of a
will. Having regard to this, the sec-
ond family agreed to a settlement,
and compromised for $60,000. The
Australian claimants—Mrs. Arnold
being dead, and the eldest of the four
surviving children being nearly 60
years of age—have just divided this
sum.
Microscopic Detective.
Ehrenberg, prince of microscopists,
some years ago was employed by the
Prussian government to investigate a
case of smuggling. A cask had been
opened, valuables extracted, and the
case repacked and shipped onward to
its destination. The only clue to the
criminals was that the unpacking
must have been done at some of the
customs houses through which tho
goods had passed. To all appearances
the microscope had a hopeless task.
Ehrenberg took some of the sand
which had been used . in repacking,
placed It under the microscope, look-
ej through the tube, and behold, there
on the stand lay a peculiar specimen
of foraminifera. That animal was
found only at one place in the world,
and told just where the crime had
been committed.
Son-in-law's Son-in-law.
Flfty-Bix-year old Sylvester Heath
was recently married to his son-in-
law's daughter, and thus becomes the
son-in-law of his son-in-law, says a
dispatch from Wilkesbarre.
The bride, Sarah Hagenbuch, is
20 years old. She Is her lather's child
by his first wife. Hagenbneh’s sec-
ond wife is a daughter of Heath, who,
when he went to visit his daughter
and son-in-law, met Sarah, fell in love
with her. proposed and was accepted.
As she is under age, the father's
consent was necessary, and it was
given.
Prophecy That Came True.
When, in 1809, Richard Trevithick
uttered the following words, there
were many who considered him an in-
sane. dangerous person: “The present
general will use canals. Ihe next will
prefer railroads with horses, but their
more enlightened successors will em-
ploy ste.am carriages on railways as
the perfection of the art of convey-
ance.'’
SISTERS OF GKARiTY
Uses Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and
Catarrh—A Congressman’s Letter.
In every country of the civilized
world Sisters of Charity are known.
Not only do they minister to the spir-
itual and intellectual needs of the
charges committed to tueir care, but
they also minister to their bodily
needs.
With so many children to take care
of and to protect from climate and
disease, these wise and pmdent Sis-
ters have found Peruna a never fail-
ing safeguard.
Dr. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over
the United States. A recommend re-
cently received from a Catholic insti-
tution in Detroit, Mich., reads as fol-
lows:
Dr. S B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sin "The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryn-
gitis and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she Is entirely cured. ”
—Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care
of the Sisters of Charity and used
Peruna for catarrh of the throat with
good results as the above letter testi-
fies.

Columbus, Ohio, for a free book writ-
ten by Dr. Hartman.
The following letter is from Con-
gressman Mecklson, of Napoleon,
Ohio:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Colum-
bus, O.:
Gentlemen: “I
have used sev-
eral bottles of
Peruna, and fee)
greatly benefit-
ed thereby from
my catarrh of
the head, and
feel encouraged
to believe that
its conti n u e d
tisa will fully eradicate a disease of
thirty years’ standing.”—Davlil Meek-
ison.
Dr. Hartman, one of the best known
physicians and surgeons in the Unit-
ed States, was the first man to form-
ulate Peruna. It was through hi*
genius and perseverance that it was
introduced to the medical profession
of this country.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hart-
man. giving a full statement of your
case, and he will be pleased to give
yon his valuable advice gratis.
