Nearly a year ago, Itried"Pruit-a-tives", I have been using them nearly all the time since, and atu glad to say that I am cured.

Fort Frances and the country direct- ly north of Fort Frances are excited over the discovery of a new iron range, extending 75 miles with a width of two miles. Miners and experts are flock- ing into district, and the section seems destined to undergo another "rush" like that of 1896. Warren S. Stone, of the American Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, has announced that unless a settlement is reached a strike of engineers of fifty railroaos east of Chicago and north of the Potomac River will go into effect. Thirty-four thousand men will be or- dered out if the strike goes on. SOME NOTES FOR THE COOK. When baking a prize pie rub sweet milk over the top and make it smooth and even before baking. g Parboil sparexibs, and when partially done place in bake pan and season. Do not bake fast nor brown too much. Serve with baked apples. A goad way to toast bread is to use a regular corn popper. The long han- dle enables one to stand back from the heat. The finer the coffee is ground, the less time is required for making; also the finer the coffee is ground, the less is the quantity needed. Add a handful of chopped parsley or onion to the veal when cooking. It improves it as much as mint adds to the lamb. Watery custard is caused by cooking in an oven that is too hot. Set the custard in a pan of hot water, and see that the water does not boil during the baking. Cook dried fruits in the oven instead of on top of the stove. There is not then danger of their burning, they keep their shape better, and if cooked while using the oven for roasting no extra heat is required. Browned flour makes delicious brown gravies. Put it in a pieplate and set on top of the stove or in a very hot oven. When it. begins to brown it s hould be constantly stirred until brown all through. Dice the turnips before cooking, then boil in salted water and serve with a cream sauce. If there are a few peas in the refrigerator, add these to the cream sauce; it makes the dish very attractive. J am which has been laid aside and has got hard and sugary and unfit for use can be made quite as good as when new if it is put into the oven for a little while till the sugar melts and then left to cool.

From 1869 to the present time Edison has, says a writer in Chamber's Journ- al, filed more than one thousand four hundredapplications for patents; and, in addition, over one thousand five hundred other inventions are embraced in one hundred caveats filed by him during these years. These and some other inventions are also covered by one thousand and thirty-nine patents issued to him by foreign Governments. When one considers the practical value of Edison's inventions as a world asset the tremendous force of his personality is apparent, for it has been one of the most potent factors in bringing into existence many entirely new arts and industries, and in contrib- uting very largely to others, all of which are now capitalized in America at seven hundred thousand dollars, earning annually over a thousand million dollars and giving employ- ment to an army of more than six hundred thousand people. Not that Edison has brought these arts and industries to their present magnificent proportions; but he is the father of a number of them; and as to some of the others, it was the magic of his touch that helped to make them practicable.

Name Address GARDEN SEED_ SOWING. Horil to Find Man Who Can Perform Operations Properly. Among t A Cg t le different gxt'denin opera. tions there Is none More diftieult than seed sawing. To get a wax wile can properly sow both broadcast and with handi! t drill 1l1 the various seeds is aa most a hopeless task. The subject needs close study to avoid heavy loss- es, which may coins either way by over or uuderseediug or by entire failure. Some operators would make us believe that the time for broadcast sowing is past absolutely. Such is not the case. There are times and subjects when broadcast seediug is very successful, The reason for this is very plain upon investigation. Broadcasted seed is coy. ered at varying depths, so that under almost all conditions a stand is obtain- ed. If the weather turns wet after seeding those seeds nearest the surface will sprout; if clry the deeply buried ones will have their chance, while by the drill method they are all uniformly covered; hence if the weather turns uns favorable for the depth at which they were sown the whole lot may be a fail- ure. Old market gardeners know frpm experience that it is easier to get a stand of lettuce, spinach, radish or tur- nip by broadcasting than by drilling; hence the method is still in use. We tlo not like broadcasting, but admit its uses, says Gardening. To operate seed drills successfully requires close attention. Where a very thin stand is desired and a drill set very close it will be found that after some time the machine has actually sifted the seeds by allowing the small ones to pass and rejecting the large ones and thereby reducing the stand for the last one-half. Some machines will not stand close regulation at a11, as they choke up unless the flow is lib- eral. When this is the case the only way out is to proceed rapidly, thereby reducing the time for the seed to roll out. Where land is too rough for nice work such machines as have a two piece coverer can often be made to work by removing one side of the cov- ering device, thus allowing clods to pass. Another way to handle rough land is to precede the drill with a sin- gle wheel hoe, using one slim cultiva- tor tooth to open a mark and roll the )ods aside. cThis can be made to. work where nothing else will. Soils that bake readily can be handled similarly by opening a slight furrow, removing the covering device entirely and de- pending upon the roller to firm the seed without covering. This permits the weak seedllugs to come up through the crevices. There can be no greater mis- take made than preparing land too lino if it is liable to puddle and bake. A certain amount of roughuess is abso- lutely necessary to keep such soils open. Everlasting Post Holes. (fere is a way to set posts for a yard or garden fence so they will stay where you put them. Dig the holes fourteen 1.0 %r. inches square and thirty-two inches deep, then take a post, A, and make it five inches square at the bottom. Thirty inches up make it six inches square- This makes a nice taper. Now bore an inch hole through each \ Y at B. Then put two pins, C, through so each will rest on the ground and thus hold the post in place. 'Then fill space I1 with concrete. After this sets awhile lift the post out. take it to the mixt hole, and so on. Then dress your ;:oats all to this pattern and drive them In. If they rot off it is an easy matter to put in new cams. - Yarns and Fireside. Among the Chickens, No use to sputter about it and call Ms fools because they insist on bay- ing white eggs. Just get yourself into a position to cater to the taste and let it go at that. Don't forget that meat is good to make hens lay, but don't go crazy en the meat question and give them too much, for you can easily make them sick. Meat two or three times a week is often enough. Why not feed the laying bens some potatoes. cabbage, turnips, etc., and thus make them feel somewhat as they did in the summer, when they found plenty of green material for food? Then your egg basket would also fill up as it did "in the good old summer time." Roup is usually a fatal malady, and very little can be done fer the fowls unless in the first stages, when the following is endive; Balsam copaiba one ounce, licorice powder hall an ounce and piperine one dram.

REICHSTAG ELECTtTOINS. .- The Method of "Running For Con grese" In Germany, For election to the reichstag there id equal universal suffrage with secret ballot for all made citizens twenty -flue years of age, there being certain ex- eluded x- el d d classes, crimin 1s paupers,e1a etc. While persons in actual military Serv- ice ereice have their voting rights suspended. Nominations are not made by regu- lar eonveutious, as with us. Any man may put his Came before the people, but in practice, of course, committees In each election district make the nom- inations for the parties, and the meth- ods of securing the nominations, by personal solicitation, by trades among the aspirants, by the induenee of dom- inating personalities, are much the name us with us, for the Germans, too, have their "bosses," and they are even now using the English word to express the fact. One bears little or nothiug of bribery in German elections, but the influence of the government, amounting prac- tically to coercion of officials and the direction of their political activity by their superiors, is generally recognized as going far beyond the "pernicious po- litical activity" that has been so em- phatically coudemned and so nearly suppressed in the United States.- Aucerlcan Review of Reviews. INSULTED HIS COLONEL. An Offense For Which a French Sol- dier Had to Die. 13y deliberately insulting a superior officer at a court martial a French soldier at Lille incurred the death pen- alty. The incident is a deplorable one. The fact that the officers had to con- demn the man is likewise painful, but the military regulations were plain and left no alternative. A dragoon in one of the regiments at Lille was being tried before a court martial. Another dragoon of the same regimeut, who was undergoing arrest for some other fault, was summoned as a witness. When this dragoon en- tered the room of the court martial he was asked by the presiding colonel to take off his cap. The man took this in Uacl part and flung his cap at the colo- nel, following it up with a storm of abusive language. When lie had finished, the colonel, nut of sheer good nature, asked him to reflect and express regret for his ac- tion, which lie was willing to look. upon as a momentary outburst of tem- per. The dragoon merely repeated his insults. The court martial immediate- ly deliberated and at the end of a quarter of an hour gave judgment condemning the dragoon to death. - Boston Transcript. Book Without Errata. A London publisher once determined to publish at least one book which should be faultless in the matter of er- rata. Ile had the proofs corrected by his own proofreaders with the greatest care until they bad exhausted their skill and patience and assured him that there were no longer any errors to be eliminated. Taking duplicate proofs of the last revise, he sent them to the universities and other large pub- lishing houses, offering large money prizes for each error discovered. A few errors only were found, and after ev- ery one had a chance to detect any ad- ditional errors the plates were made, the book printed, expensively bound and sold as an absolutely perfect book and unique in all literature. For a long time this was conceded, but six or eight months after its publication a letter called the publisher's attention to an error in a certain line and page. Later a second was announced, and before the first year had elapsed some four or five errors had been reported. - Charles Winslow hall, in National Present the Fly. A policy of prevention of fly birth is better than a constant fight again- st the myriads of flies sure to be present later in the season. The hoards of flies in midsummer are not only an- noying but are almost the best known medium for spreading disease. Pre- vent the midsummer millions by des- troying the early few. Flies delight to find piles of rubbish, refuse and man- ure, for these are the places and this is the sort of material in which they lay their eggs. All material of this sort should, says, Hoard's Dairyman, be cleaned up before the first flies an. rive and should be kept clean all sum- mer. If any refuse, garbage or man- ure accumulates about the house, out- buildings or barns, it is in this that the eggs are laid and the maggots hatch, and on this they feed, The accumula- tion of a few days helps to breed flies, and if it is not cleaned up for three weeks a whole brood will have time to hatch, pupate, and develop into adult flies. Prevent the formation of the usual breeding places and much more will be accomplished than by a cam- paign of "swatting" later. A recently published book on Africa gives certain native tribes credit for greater intellectuality than has usually been ascribed to the Negro race. "Every Central African," it says, "is a born lawyer. Should the need arise, he can act as his own pleader, and set forth his case with fluency and lawyer - like adroitness." It will be remember- ed that Bishop Colenso also had a high opinion of the acumen of certain native Africans as Bibical critics. Map'si Poininioa, "I have .conquered the air," man cries; "my pinions shall sweep tate skies," And then their comes a gale andleversa k n hisfail,ndhesin s to the earth and dies. "Iter secrets I';„ri bound to wrest from Dame Nature's breast." And Dame Nature kicks as r r' him breast he pricks, , and scatters h m galley west. "I have conquered the sea I think," says man, with a cheer- ful wink; "watch the ocean wilt! For I've gone and built a vessel that can- not sink!" He shows us his rare design; all perfect his plans and fine, and we softly say as we go our way that the sea should take in its sign. He launches his mighty bark, that's safer than Noah's ark; it's slick and clean in its lines, I wean, and swift as a trotting shark. "It simply can't sink," he claims; its bulkheands and mighty frames wi 11 defy the knocks of the bergs and rocks, and the ocean's wild- est games." He sends it a -sailing then, this triumph designed by men; God gives a twist of His mighty wrist, and the sea is on top again. ---Walt Mason.

'1 Natural Turkish Baths. Preston, Ont., about seventy miles from Toronto, enjoys natural Turkish baths. Near the town is a lake the waters of which are impregnated with sulphur and other chemical properties. The Iake is government property, and the cost to those availing themselves of its virtues is merely nominal, about sixpence being sufficient to remunerate the services of the halfbreeds prepar- ing the bath. This is taken in what is locally call- ed a "sweat lodge." The lodge is made by digging a hole four feet deep, lin- ing it with small bowlders and cover- ing it with an air proof tent. A fire is then built in the hole and kept burn- ing until the. stones are thoroughly heated. Water from the lake is sprin- kled on the hot stones, and a steam arises which is laden with medicinal properties. -Loudon Graphic, Nature.
