For Three Years He Suffered —- Could

Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-

glad for the night’s coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

TRAVELING LlBRAFllE'S INTRODUCED
m'ro PHILADELPHIA.
Many Requests for Books from the Small
Places Outside the City Limits—An
Effort being Made to have the System
Extend all Through the State.
The traveling library system intro,
duced in this city under the direction
of the Free Library of Philadelphia 21-
little over a year ago has proven so
popular, and so many requests for its
extension have been made by neigh-
boring towns, that the trustees of. the
Free Lib-nary are making a strong ef-
fort to provide traveling libraries for
use in every part of the State. With
this object in view a bill was recently
introduced into the present session of
the Legislature asking for a $30,000
appropriation, and all the librarians
who have charge of public collections
of books in Pennsylvania are prepared
to advocate its passage, says the Phil-
adelphia Record.
The city traveling library system
consists of boxes of 25 book-s each.
which are circulated in fire houses, p0-
lice stations and similar places, thus
reaching a class of people who have
no opportunity to‘sliare in the benefits
of the regular library system. -Re—
quests have been received from thirty
villages and towns outside, of the city
limits to forward boxes of books, but
as the. Free Library is a city institu-
tion, it was found that the requests
could not legally. be complied with.
The $30,000 State appropriation is de-
signed to overcome this obstacle.
Though asked in the name of the Free
Library of Philadelphia, it is for the
use of the entire state. If granted,
the money will be used in the equip-
ment of traveling libraries of fifty vol-
umes each. Those for use in the west-
ern part of the State will be placed in
the custody of the Carnegie Library at
Pittsburg; those for the eastern part
will be handled by our own library,
and the towns in the central part 'of
the State will be supplied through the
State Library at Harrisburg, the Pub-
lic Library at Scranton, and the Oster-
‘aaut Library at Wilkesbarre.
VlAJOR PUTNAM’S POWDER KEGS.
They were Filled with Onions but Served
the Purpose Just As Well.
Shortly before the Revolution, when
the air was heavily charged with fore-
bodings of the approaching struggle,
Major Putnam happened to be in Bos-
ton. The Major disliked the red-
:oats and sometimes inveigbed against
their arrogant superciliousness in no
gentle terms. One day an officer of
His Majesty’s regulars overheard Put-
nam assert that the provincial army,
untutored in arms as they were, would
fight with the courage of trained sol-
fliers. The oflicer resented the asser-
tion. and after some hot words chal-
lenged the Major to a duel, provided
he dared to fight. '
“Dare!" shouted Putnam. “Why, at
my moment; but I choose the weap-
ms." , "
“Name them,” haugbtlly replied the
)fficer.
“Two kegs of gunpowder; the time,
:0-morrow; the distance, ten paces: the
fight to be as follows: You to sit on
me keg, I on the other; a. slow fuse to
are attached to each and lighted, and
the one who holds out the longest
shall be declared the winner."
There was nothing for the oflicer to
10 but accept the unusual weapons,
1nd on the following day at the ap
pointed time and place the combatants
took their seats upon the kegs of gun-
powder. The fuses were lighted and
began sputtering, rapidly approaching
the kegs. The oflicer was deathly
pale, and watched the growing dan-
ger with dilated eyes. At last he
would stand it no longer, and with a
leap he left his keg and raced like a
madman out of sight. When he had
gone. Old Purl: laughingly kicked the
burning fuse away and disclosed to
his friends a keg of onions. When the
matter came to light the officer was
subjected to the laughs and gibes of
the entire command—Harper’s Round

An Accidental Discovery.
When Sir Humphrey Davy was a
boy of sixteen, a. little girl came to him
me day in great excitement, and asked
why, when she rubbed two pieces of
sane together, they should make a
spark of light. Humphrey was a stu-
lious lad, who spent hours in think-
ing out scientific problems. He pat-
ted the child’s curlv head and said:
‘I do not know. dear. Let us see if
they really do make a light, and then
we will try to find out why.” He soon
found that the little girl was right; the
pieces of cane, if rubbed together
;uickly, give a tiny light. Then he set
:0 work to find out the reason; and af-
;er some time—thanks to the obserw
:ng powers of his little friend, and his
>wn kindness to her in not impatient-
y telling her not to worry, as so many
night have done—Humphrey Davv.

THE WAR AND ITS RESULTS.
General Grant'i'Oplnlon as Expressed to
. - General Buckner. ,.
General Buckner of. the Confederate
army, whose works, in1862-,- Grant pro-
posed to move upon immediately, was
always an admirer of the Union gener-
al. They had been class-mates at West
Point and during General Grant’s last
illness, General Buckner visited him
at Mt. Gregor. General Buckner found
General Grant in his sitting-room, in
the adjustable 'chair, furnished with
wheels, which served him as a. bed.
Though pale and somewhat emaciated,
he preserved the calm courage that was
his most marked characteristic. Gen-
eral Grant, who was unable to articuc
late, replied to General Buckner’s cor‘
dial greeting by writing on a. small
pad" of paper from which he removed
the slips after writing on them.
General Buckner said that, aside
from the gratification of a feeling 0)
personal friendship, he had a' special
object in view in purine this visit.
It was to assure General Grant that
every Confederate soldier held him in
kindly remembrance, not only for his
magnanimity at the close of the war,
but for his just and friendly conduct
afterward in inter-posing to prevent the
violation by his own. government oi
the terms. of the military convention
which he had entered into, at the sur-
render, with the Southern soldiers,
which secured them from molestation
so long as they complied with the terms
of their parole. To this General Grant
wrote an answer which is a. last mes-
sage of friendship to the South and to
the whole country,~ and part of which
is published in facsimile in the current
number of The Century for the first
It reads: .
“I have witnessed since my sickness
just what I have wished to see ever
since the war: harmony and good feel«
ing between the sections.. I have al-
ways contended that if there had been
nobody left but the soldiers we would
have had peace in a year. Jubal Early
and Hill are the only two that I know
of who do not seem to be satisfied on
the Southern side. We have some on
ours wiho failed to accomplish as much
is they wished, or who did not 'get
warmed up to the fight until it was all
over, who have not had quite full satis-
faction. The great majority too of
those who did not go into the war have
long since grown tired of the long
controversy. We may now well look
forward to a perpetual peace at home,
and a national strength that will se-
cure us against any foreign complica-
tion. I believe myself that the war
was worth all it cost us, fearful as that
was. Since it was over I have visited
every state in Europe and a number
in the East. I know, as I did not be‘
fore, the value of our inheritance."
~BATH IN THE DEAD SEA.
The _Water is Remarkably Buoy-fl. J‘bul
Not Good to Taste.
A tourist who visited the Holy Land
a few years ago wrote as follows:
“Reaching at last this most remark-
able of all the seas and lakes on the
globe ,(the Dead Sea) we prepared tr
. take a bath, such as I can hardly ever
expect to take again. I had previously
bathed in numerous seas, lakes and riv
ers, but never did I enjoy such a butt
as this. The specific gravity of the
water is such, from its holding in solu-
tion so large a proportion of salt, 26%
per cent, that one' floats upon its sur-
face like a cork. At the time there
was but a gentle ripple upon the sea
and being a good swimmer I at once
struck out into deep water. I soot
found out that I could not only swim
and float with wonderful case, but that
I could actually walk in the water,
sinking only to the shoulders. Should
the bother allow the water to get intr-
his eyes or month, he would suffer con:
slderable abatement in his en-
joyment, on account of its ex-
tremely salt, bitter and irritating na-
ture. No fish can live in- this sea;' bui
various kinds of ducks abound here :11
certain seasons of the year. The water
was as clear as ordinary sea water; its
temperature was agreeable, and it hac-
nn oily feelin-g.”—1\'ew York Times.

Mrs. Galvin, who-is a handsome wo-

time. She had two valuable dia-
monds set in her upper front teeth, sc
that when she parted lips in a, smile,
‘the sparkling gems shone resplendent-
ly. Her peculiar adornment attracted
considerable attention, for it was
something out of the ordinary.
Mrs. Calvin was alone in her sister's
house one afternoon, when the door-
bell rang. She answered the sum-
mons and admitted two men, who
claimed they were plumbers sent by
the owner to inspect the house. Mrs.

_. steer SUGAR seen.
Its Distribution by the Agricultural!”-
purtment to Farmers.
. The V'Agriciiltural Department ‘~ is
sending out to farmers and to experi-
mental stations a large amount of beet
sugar seed, with a view to'determinc
the feasibility of growing the seed in
certain Sections of the country. In an
interview with regard to the growing
,of the seed, Secrets ry 'Wllson said:.
“We have just‘ about finished send-
ing out sugar beet 'seed to most of'the
states in the Union. They are expel-l:
menting South about as far as the-Caro-
llnas and Texas. Every effort has been:
made to procure fimt-claSSseed.Mo_/st
of the work isbeln-g done through the
experiment stations that get the seed
from the Department and send it out
with instructions regarding the culti-
vation of the plan-ts and provision for
the return of‘samples to the stations
in the fall for analysis. ' '
“The Department is also taking' in
hand the" growing of high-heredity
sugar beet seed. The seed being sent
out by the Department is the result of
careful improvement extending over
many years—in some cases forty years
of time—where every mother beet is
tested by the pola'riscope to ascertain
its per cent. of sugar.
“This high-heredity sugar beet seed
is worth perhaps its weight in gold. It
is the result of the very best work done
along these lines 'during all these
years. Such seed is exceedingly rare
and very difficult to get. The Agricul-
tural Department is believed to com-
pass the ownership of only about five
pounds of it. This ’3 being distributed
to our most careful experimenters at dif-
ferent localities, notably Geneva, N. Y.;
W .seonsin, Iowa, etc. Bulletins are be-‘
ing issued from the Department, pre-
pared by experts, giving the people in-
formation regarding sugar beet. in, all
its relations. Such bulletins will be
prepared from time to time,~and the
results will be copied from the sev-
eral stations and full information giv-
en to the people regarding this import-
ant mattter. ,
“Capitalists are turning their atten-
tion toward investments along this
line. There will be no difficulty about
getting money enough to erect factor-
ies, which cost from $300,000 to $500,-
000. The business men of the cities
have learned thoroughly that they can
not thrive unless the farmers thrive,
and besides, the success of the 0x-
n-ards assures capitalists that where all
the conditions of success are carefully
secured to begin with, there is no ques-
tion of the ultimate result. It seems
to us that the effort of the Department
of Agriculture to save the $100,000,-
000 that we now pay out annually for
sugar, and reaching for the $65,000,000
that the British pay for their butter
each year, will help the balance of
trade eventually.”—,Philadelphia Ledg-
er. ~
A Farmer's Bulletin Board.
A farmer'may not need to hang out
a sign of his trade; well-filled barns
and fields rich in pastured stock and
growing cropsshmvmhis. Yet unless
he hangs out a bulletin board, how is
the public to know what he has for
sale, or whether he has anything? Oc-
casionally one may see a board nailed
to a tree with the sign, Pigs for sale,
for the farmer realizes that unless they
are sold quickly he Will be obliged‘ho
keep them until they are fat hog-s. Per-
sons desiring to buy pigs usually notice
such signs. And real estate is often
advertised in this manner. If such a
Sign is a help in selling pigs or real es—
tate, why will it not pay a. farmer to
display such a board the year through.
and advertise whatever he has to sell
an it, changing it as occasion demands.
or as soon as an article or crop is sold.
Such a board need not prevent him
from making an effort to dispose of
his crops in larger markets, but it
might be an aid in having a chance to
do so. A man who does this will stand
a. chance, if anyone Will.~—AmericanAg-
riculturist.
The Benefit of \Vood Ashes.
I had 1/3 of an acre on a gravelly knoll
which bore only June grass, very'sinall
and thin at that. I put on 3 bes. of.
wood ashes and clover started well.
I‘he’next year I put on more ashes and
had a fair crop of clover. I put the
ashes directly on the turf. A man
bought a farm of some 50 acres adjoin-
ing mine, and as the old saying is,
‘could not raise beans.” He could only
keep one cow and a horse the first
year, but he made what manure he
:ould and put on about 4 bbls of ashes
to the acre. He followed this for three
or four years, and during the'six years’
stay he bought about $25 worth of
manure. The last two years he cut a
heavy hay crop, kept four cows and
two horses, raised 60 bu. of oats, con-
siderable corn and potatoes for his own
use and some to sell. He paid $800 and
sold for $1,200. He says he is not much
of a farmer either.—W. I. Rider, Addi-
son. 00., Vermont.
The Navy Bean.
The Improved Navy Bean is very
popular on the Pacific coast, where it
is this year being largely planted.
Some of the commercial bean growers
in Michigan. and New York state are
also going to plant it on quite a large
scale and it is worthy the attention of
every grower of this crop. '

.1: ryoMAN A HUMAN BEING?
in 'l 'in the Sixth, Century by ll'i
Council of hIacnn.
in these latter days of the nineteenth
century, when woman is struggling
for an equality with man in the arts
and sciences and in politics, it may
'be interesting to know that as early
as the sixth centuryythe woman ques
tion was a knotty problem confronting- -
the sages of that period. .
This startling inquiry was proposed
by a bishop at the Council of Macon,
and the reverend fathers were so
liberal as to devote several sessions
to the consideration of the subject.
They did not disdain the question, as
useless or frivolous, but gravely under-
took the task of assigning to woman
her proper place in creation.
With all her faults they loved her
still, and, moved partly, no doubt, by
affection, they generously decided that
she did not belong .to the world of rent.
tons, beeves or goats, but was in truth
a human being.
It must not be imagined, however.
that this advanced theory was forced
upon Christendom. The Council of Ma-
con was not ecumenical, and so
churchmen were not constrained to ac-
cept its decision—New York Tribune.

found upon inquiry that the boat was

The houseboat is the property of
Prof. Dychus, a philanthropic indium
citizen, who decided some time Sillijt:
that he could serve his people better
if he became useful. He had the boat
built and fitted up after the fashion
of village school rooms, and started on

A Plea. I’u'r t'lié Apple.
A Brooklyn physician translates the
following from a German writer: “The
apple is such a common fruit that few

Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing he can do Is to eat up-
ples just before going to bed. The ap-
ple is excellent brain food, because it

known. It excites the action of the
