as pester. A young ledy who lived

coulcl not sit up. She appeared to be
bloodless. I said to her: "It will cost
you $6.00 to get a doctor to come out

OUR get six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink

Howrz OF MARY'S LAMB.
Massachusetts Town in Which the
Nursery Verses Had Origin.
One of the sights of Sterling, Mass.,
le the houie weielt was the home of
liary—the Many familiar and dear to
the childhood of perhaps the dntire
English speaking race as the one who
"had a little Iamb."
A woman who quite unintentionally
stumbled upon this iuteresting spot
tells of her experience and whet slie
teethed that day of the facts upon
which the celebrated nursery rhyme was
founded, as follows:
One bright morning in Augnet
trolley ride on the new Worcester line
presented itself as a good way to
spend the day. Noticing that a picnic
party was getting ready to alight, I
got off with them. They took the left
of two roads and I the right. A
farmer drove along and inquired:
"Hello! Going to see Mary's home?"
Not knowing what he meant, I made
no reply, but, asked some boys who ap-
peared looking for berries whet he
meant by "Mary's- home." They replie4
in chortle:
"Yes, it's just up the road; ' first
little house you tome to is the one where
Mary aud the lamb were borne'
Pleasantly surprised, P walked on.
M the first house that I reached 1
inquired if it WAR Mary's home, and
was tola that it was and was invited

t PROTECTION AGAINST COLD.
. So much of our winter consiste ot
weather which is damp and. cold at the
same time, that it behoves people to
take special precautions to ward off
tho ill effects to which these condi-
tions so easily give rise. The chief of
such disorders are influenza, eommou
colds, sciatica, lumbago, painful stiff
neck; and other forms of rheumatism.
Some of them might often be prevented.
if people were a little more careful.
Thus, although lumbago is known to re -
suit very conanonly from standing about
lit damp and draughts, it is remoxkable
fact that meies usual clothing afforda
compartively little protection to the
lower part of the back. We mettle the
neck ane <best with thick woollen
scarfs, or flannel protectors, but few
people ever think about protecting the
back—a really vulnerable part—frorn the
cold, It is an excellent thine, especially
for men whose work compels them to
stand about yards and warehouses, to
have a flannel Ruing in their waisteoat,
or to wear a knitted Cardigan.
Another protection which should not
be neglected is proper footwear. Every
medical man knows quite well that some
of the moat dangerous constitutional
disturbaneee are frequently set up by
carelessness no to thorough protection
of the feet on cold, rainy dap. Chilling
of the feet in this manner leads only
too often to severe inflammation of the
internal organs.- There seems little
doubt that the cold of wet pavements
is mueh more dangeroue than the damp-
ness of a country road. or even of grass,
and the town dwellers who an obliged
to be much out in the open air Amnia
look well to their feet.
• CHICKEN PDX.
Among infants and children chicken
pee or varicella is often met with. It
is extremely contagious, and though it
may be carried by means of 0, third per-
son, it ie more asually contracted by
direct exposure. The attack generally
comes on without warning, and the first
intimation one has le the appearance
of the mite but in some MOS the little
patient will be feverish and out of sorts
a day before any rash he seen. This looks
like small, scattered, red spots, and will
begin on `the face and shotdders. thence

The red spots, which are at first very
small, increase in elec. and some of them

THE 310DERN WOMAN.
An American expert on all statutes
relating to physique,. Dr. Dudley Ser-
geant, of Harvard. University has come
to the conclusion that women, during
the last twenty years have become more
like men in figure. This he considers a
good sign'as showing that the life and
habita of the women of to -day are more
in atcordance with nature than were
those of the early Victorian woman.
"Women in a savage state," says Dr.
Sargent, "were so like the ineu ih form
that it was well-nigh impossible to tell
theta apart. Then as eivilization pro-
gressed their especially feminine char.
aeteristies became accentuated, until the
exaggeration WAS almost painful to look
at. Then the pendulum began to swing
the other way, and women are again
beginning to look and be more like
men." The sloping shoulders of our
grandmother's time bave disappeared
and there are other notable changes
which Dr. Sergeant attributes to he
creaeed. exercise, more rational corsets
and above all to demi breathing. Twenty
veers ago, he says, woman did not know
how to breathe, but to -day children are
taught in the public echools, with the
result thee their bodies, as they grow up,
are better developed and more healthy.

A NEW YEAR SONG.
(Clinton Seollard, in the Columbian.)
Not a single emerald ember,
Not a glint or gleam of gold,
Gila the garden for the warden
Broods the pallid wrath of God;
Snow -elves down the gray aky flying,
Hither, thither, swift and sheer,
Welconte in the youttgling year.
Par along the elver border
All is frosted. all is fettle;
Leafless dingle, rirneavhite Atingle,
Line the barren reach of sltore;
Yet where steely arches glisten,
And fleet skaters dart and veer,
Gleeful voiced, ale but listeni
Welcome in the younglihg year.
What although be strewn behind us
Wrecked ambitions, broken alms,
Ever vernal, aye, eternal,
Hope's irradiant pharoe flames.
Let us then with valiant chorus
Lift our hall to Janivere.
Pace with faith what lies before us --
Welcome in the yonngling year.

ELECTRIC. LIGHTS ON rAitivis.
With Them.Kansas Farmers Do Their
Morning Chores.
Topeka Kea—Within ten years elec..
erleity 141 light a majority of the farm
homes and country schools and ehurches
of the State, it is predicted. Farm homes
lighted with electricity are' eow num-
bered by hundreds.
With the general use of the gasoline
engine this has been made possible.
Electric light and power companies In
several of the take are also making
plans by which they can supply farmers
with curre»t front their trunk lines. A
notable as of this sort is found at
Manhattan, where the power for electrie
generation is furnished by a dam on tha
Big Blue River, four miles from the
el ty.
The current generated is used for
electric lighting and, street car purposes
in the city of Manliattan, and farmers
living near the trunk line are using it
in their residences, barns and feed lots,
In the early 'morning hours when the
farmers feed and care for their stock
and do the milking electric lights are
found to be very useful.
In a rich farming community ten milee
tiortit of Atehison the farmers have de-
cided to have an electric light plant of
their owie They will build a smell
power house where eurrent will be gen-
erated and from whielt it will be earried
into their homes. Fifteen families will
share hi this modern system of light-
ing.
Several farmers living ten miles west
of Atehitton have small dynamos on their
farms providing electric light for their
homes. barns and dairy buildings. Re-
eently the town of Troy, forty mike
north of Atchison, contracted for light
from the Ateleson plant. A trunk line
wire wiis stretched between the two
places, and now twenty-five farmere
along the route ate connecting their
homes with this trunk line.
Par out in Western Kansas the farm -
ere are using electricity for lighting
their homes. Near Garden City, which
a few years ago was in the centre of
the great Amerion desaert, there aro
farms where all the buildings are made
of temont coterete and each is lighted t
with electricity generated by a gasoline i
engine on the place.
• The early pioneer way of living and
the modern system are blended on one
farm. A farmer is still living in a sod
house, built a quarter of a century ago.
He is constructing a new and up-to-date
home in which he has hiatalled a gaso-
lene engine with which to generate elec-
tricity for lighting. Ile will not move
out of the old sod house until March
next because of its warmth and comfort
in Winter, but be is enjoyiug electrie
lights in that primitive dwelling. It is
believed this is the only instanee in
whicyli a sod house hes been lighted by
electricity.
In the 'natural gas region.s of aoutle
eastern Kansas the electric light is
cheaper than gas.
PROFIT iN SEES.
The production of honey is ranked by
our statistielans as. a "minor induatry,"
but that it is not an insignificant one is
evidenced by the faet that during the
past three years there has been an an-
intal output of honey and Wes' wax of
about twenty-five millions of dollars.
This represents only that part of the
supply of which the Department of Ag-
riculture in Wasbilgton 1t3.3 been eble to

WINTER ON THE SHEEP RANGE.
It's a cruel business, this range -sheep
growing, cruel and hard and rough. The
waste of animal life through starvation,
freezing and smothering in stampedes
Is enormous. A few, a very few, Book -
masters niake provision for hard win-
ters, but the majority de. not. Let
there come a wet snow, falling with lit-
tle wind, as happens on some parts of
the range, each winter, and the grass is
buried. The sheep then huddle on their
bedding ground and wait; the herdev
site in the wagon by the stove, reading
his magazine, or smoking his pipe, or
chewing his tobacco, or indulging what-
ever similar foible he mey foster. Ile
knows be ean't help the sheep. A rage
ment of empty-handed herders coal de
no more than one. It snows onethe wind
blates afresh, the temperature drops. The
wet snow covering the brown grass out
on the pasture lands takes on n oust
of lee; ice cakes the fleeces of the sheep.
They huddle together, pleading in tremu-
lous bleats for the succor which does not
come. The storm rages across- the wild,
bending its force upon them. They sink
beneath the weight of hunger and cold
and anew, and perith wailing their an-
guish Itutil death stiflea their quavering
lament. Malty n man's start, many e
