He Got a Pane. "Halt!" cried an alert patrolman in Manila as a beautifully caparisoned carriage drove up containing a portly gentleman. Tbe driver reined his steeds, and the sentry, standing firmly in the center of the street, shouted, "Who Ss there?" Not knowing what else to say, the occupant of the carriage answered, "Judge Taft, president of the civil commission." "Advance, Judge 'raft to be recog- nized," basvled the sentry. The judge advanced, and the following dialogue took place: Sentry -have you a pass? Taft -No, sir; do 1 require one? Sentry -You do, sir, and It's my duty to run yon In.

It is true farmers do not bay and deli so extensively as merchants or malnufacturera, but they have capital employed, and are constantly investing labor in pro: tl'ucts, and liber is a thing of value Just as etersh as sliver ar greenbacks. The whole problem with the farmer, as with the merchant, and the farmer, facture', is to employ his capital and labor in sturh a way that It will bring him the greatest possible returns. No dao would venture to contend that a conclusion would be arrived at es ao- curakely by guess as by careful cal- eulation. Neither would anyone venture to deny the assertion that in tbeae days of close competition the most meant calculation alone is eatpabde sometimes of determining on which side of the account the balance is found. Beek -keeping is essential to gcod farming it is the only moans by which the farmer rorty determine accurately which lines of farming are profitable and which are not, and by which ho may know what percent of profit ha realizes from the business as a wheat.

The ever-increasing demand for ice seems to make it necessary to uti- lize all desirable sources of supply. Many who have feoillties to produce inc might profit by their use. For certain cases quality and purity are more important than quantity. It is well known to scientists and the mewed fraternity that typhoid and other germs of disease aro not de- stroyed by freezing. Ice taken from smal{•lakes, panda and streams may containthe germs of disease and shoull never be uaad for any purpose that well .convey its impurities into the system. Many farmers bring water from springs in pipes for the hcalse and stook. Out of the surplus not needed for suoh purposes pure spring water ice might be made by ruinniny it into meals to freeze. Such ice, free fromsnow and slush, uncontaminated by dirt, filth and dis- ease germs, sho'all command prices that would be remunerative to the producer. Dealers would find et necessary to furnish such lee to their custotmers or Lose their trade in com- mon onim,on Me. Blocks of ice made in molds with a regular, even surface on all sides would (peek, so alusely that it would keep Much better, with far less waste, and ooulld be produced earlier in the season than ice of like thick-( nese formed in ponds. Wherever it is known that inure spring water ice is obtainable the demand for such goods will stimulate production, help to preserve the public health and br:ng trade and profit to both dealer and producer.

Not long since Mr. Johnsen ohe,nced to be in Por-' 'tax's drug store, in Bridgewater, when a case of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was being afpaned, and he remarked to the clerk; "I saw the time when a dozen boxes of those pills were of more values, to me than the best gold mine be the country:" 'A reporter of the Enterprise happened to hear Mr. Johnson's rather startling remark and asked hien why he spike so high- ly of the palls. Mr. Johnson's state- ment wee as follows; "About four yearn ago I was attacked with la grippe which kept dee from work about three weeks. I dldt not have it very hard apparently, but it left me weak all the same. Anyhow, aftet losing three weeks I concluded to go to work again. The mine I was working in was making a good deal of water and Iglab wet the first day. That night the old trouble oame beck, wroth the addition of a severe cold. I managed to get rid of the cold, but the whole force of the dm - matt settled in my stomach, kidneys and joints, and boils broke out on my body and limbs.'My back was so weak I could scarcely stand alone, while food in every form distressed me, and I became so nervous that any unusual noise would overcome Ina. I treed several sorts of medi- cines but none seemed to do any good. 'I meet went to a doctor. His medicine helped, me a,tt first, but after a, sheet time lost its effect.

A .friend strongly advised me tot go to a hos- petal for treabmemt and 1 had just about decided to do eo whenan acquaintance learning I had taken but inlet box of the pills suggested that I should try three boxes more before giving them up. The matter of money decided me, on trying the pills again. I got three -boxes and when used I was quite a bit improved. Oould eat bight nutritious food, slept better, and feat noticeably stronger. But I was still an unwell man. As the pills were doing a good work, how- ever, I sant for eight more boxes. I continued tieing them till all were gonna, when I Cult that, I was restored ea health.

Colonel Le Gallais, whose loss in South Africa is so much deplored, was an all-round tepertsman, a fine polo player, and a cavalry leader of dash and daring. It was during the op- erations tinder Lord Kitchener, in 1897 and 1898, that he performed his most notable work. in the latter year, at Atbara, he was the ;leader of a recon- naissance of great pluck, when the Major and other officers had to use their swords repeatedly. Once the enemy made for the guns, when these were horned in another direotion, but Major Le Galleit caught them up with the Fifth Division, and, in the words of Mr. Burleigh, "taught them a les- son.'

TEA VS, ALCOHOL ,114 RUSSIA. The New York "Sun" tett a recent date says; Tea was first Imported into Russia in 1888. To -day each in- habitant consumes, on the average, nearly one pound annually. The total consumption is 100.000,000 pounds and the total cost about 888,000,000. Tea and sugar together cost Russia about 8285,000,000 per year. For, brandy, beer and wine the country ,expends annually about $550,WJ,0J0, so that something lite a quarter of the whsle revenues of the State are annually expended on tea, brandy, wine and beer, with sugar. Exact statistics are not forthcoming, but it appears that the use of tea Is increasing rapid- ly relative to the alcoholic beverages -a consummation devoutly to be wish- ed, It is a remarkable feet that this change has occurred since the intro - dual= of the machine -made teas of Ceylon and India.
