There are some people foolish enough to - laugh at the homely virtues of a farm life. They are fortunately few, and they are for- tunately growing fewer; but it is well - sometimes to look at the list of great men who came up from the farm -not all of them, for that would fill - a thousand vol- umes, but some of the most notable ones that flash into mind in a moment. Nearly three-fourths - of the men who have been chosen by the people for the great offices of the nation are men who were early familiar with wooded hills and culti- vated fields. For example, Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Hamlin, Greeley, Tilden, Hayes, Blaine, Harrison and others almost equally conspicuous in current events of living memory. Among journalists, Henry Watterson spent his early life in rural Kentucky, and Murat Halsted was born and lived on a farm in Ohio ; W. H. Vanderbilt was born in a small;: Nei' Jersey town, and early engaged in the business of ship chandlery ; Russell Sage was born in a New York village ; Jay Gould spent his early years on his father's farm in New York state ; Whittier and Howells spent their youth in villages, the former dividing his time between farm employment and his ITCIIING BEEPING VAWL1NG STINGI NG SKIN DISEASES RELIEVED BY ONE AP- PLICATION OF Dr. Agnew's Ointment, Ingersoll,' January 3rd. -London, Glen- coe and St. Thomas cannot claimall the re- markable cures wrought in this district, by that wonderful remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. Ingersoll is bubbling over with excite- ment over the cures in this town. Farmer G. J.Cook, of West Oxford town- ship, is the latest to tell of his rescue. He suffered the agonies of Kidney Disease, in spite of doctors and their remedies till he began using Dodd's Kidney Pills. A short treatment cured him completely. Mr. Cook's case is startling, brit not un- common. Whenever a person speaks of Dodd's Kidney Pills in Ingersoll, he or she can tell of a cure by thein of Bright's Dia ease, Lumbago, Lame Back, Female Trouble or some other kidney or bladder disorder. 35 CENTS.

Fear and Lumsden & Wilson • OLD MAN AND YOUNG WIFE. ♦ Washington Jeha- Who Sties All sorts. Weary of the Jay With a Bride. "But of all married couples the old jay with the:young wife makes me most tired.' The old duffer tries.. to put on a dignified air when many people are around, but wait until he gets a chance to smile at his young bride. It's awful. The smile is that of a possum which has been treed and knows there is no escape. I mean that it's sickly. Half of thein may be putting on with the innocent girl. Three days ago I had one of these old jays in.. tow. What do you suppose he said to his wife? I was taking them from the White House to the treasury and passed by the fountain which con- tains so many pretty goldfish. 'Oh, look at the beautiful little things,' he said, with a grin at his wife. You are pret- tier than any fish in that pond.' She said, `Oh!'' Well, I wanted to throw him in,- but of`course I was looking out for the coin. "Here comes a newly married couple. Anybody could tell that. Yon see, he has his wife - by the arm and is looking down into her face with an air of con- tentment that is enough to make my blues leave me to see. I noticed that - couple coming up Pennsylvania avenue 20 minutes ago. He was holding her arm then. He will stick to the job until they reach their hotel this afternroon. He is not afraid she will escape, brit he thinks that is part of a new groom's business. You see,' he helps her up the - steps and points out things to her. He tells her that is so and so. Nine chances out of ten it is something else. He feels that he is bound to say something. I have seen many of these young know ells point out the Corcoran- Art gallery as the patent office and pass the ,state, war and navy building off as the resi- dence of General Miles or as the new pity postofce. The innocent bride stares in wonder and thinks it's so. She be: lieves her darling Henry knows all about it. • . "It's very different with the man who has been married several years. He alid his wife see . for themselves. He stops and looks at a thing which inter- ests him. She goes on and stops to look at something which interests her. They _ • are generally 20 yards apart.. If he tells her that a building is such and such, she .disputes the point and thinks it's some- thing else. "-Washington Star. News Notes.

EPPS' COCOA IODINE ON FINGERS. - Treatment of the Bands of Pianoforte Pupils Who Practice: A modest appearing young woman entered a drug store on Madison avenue one morning recently, and, walking to the end of the counter nearest the pre- scription department, mutely -held out both hands toward a clerk who chanced to be standing in that particular place. The clerk, equally mute, reached be- hind a screen ` and brought out a bine glass bottle, from which a brush han- dle protruded. " After stirring the con- tents of the bottle with the brush for a few seconds the clerk daintily brushed the tips of the young woman's fingers - with the mixture, leaving a dark stain around the top of each finger nail. With a pleasant nod of her head. and low murmuring thanks the young woman quickly withdrew from the store and the blue glass bottle was put back in its hiding place.

In order to prevent the finger nails from ooming in contact with the ivory keys she has them out very short, and we apply iodine to take the soreness out of the --ends of the fingers. after they have been subjected to three or four hours of pounding.

It Could All JErinct Standing itoom on Ons - of England's Shires. England today contains ' 80, 000, 000 people, but it has trebled its population in the course of a century, inasmuch as the population was 10, 000, 000 on the accession of the Hanoverian dynasty. At the time of the great revolution in 1688 England contained 5, 500,000, while London, now 5,500,000, contain-• ed only 500,000 inhabitants. - It further appears that the entire population of the country was under 1,000,000 when the "Domesday Book" was oompiled shortly after the Norman conquest. Other nations are more or less amenable to the same principle of increase, and modern ideas of the vast populations of antiquity are far from being correct. In spite of the grossly exaggerated statistics -of Josephns, the site of Jerusalem and the course of its ancient walls, which can easily be traced, prove that the Holy City could never have accommodated more than 100,000 people, while the outer walls of Rome, still standing, indicate that the ancient population of the Eternal City could not, even in its palmy days, have exceeded 1,000,000 people. "Westward the starof civilization takes it course" is a truth confirmed by the history of the ancient world and set forth in the rise and fall of the succes- sive empires of China, India, .Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. The westward trend - of the Aryan fa- milies of Celts, Teutons and Slays in prehistoric times points to an eastern origin of the primitive nations that gath- ered strength as they marched toward the lands of the setting sun, and it now appears highly probable that the bulk of the world's population had congre- ,gated around the blue waters of the Mediterranean when Greece and Rome were in. the meridian of their power. The numerical strength of these nations was not great, and modern ideas of the vast population of the ancient world are more fanciful than real. - - Froin the foregoing considerations it would appear that the regular home troops of the British army, numbering about 100,000 men, could find standing room on four acres of ground, a space equal to that of Trafalgar square, Lon- don, while the entire .force of volun- teers in this country, numbering about 250, 000, could be accommodated in Lord's cricket ground. The 6,500,000 people in London could easily stand in Regent's park, while the 40,000,000 of the United Kingdom could be. packed together in a -space within range of a cannon that can fire the distance of a mile. - The present population of the world could stand in Middlesex, while all who have ever lived since the Chris- tian era* could stand in Yorkshire, and all the inhabitants of the world, reck- oning from the time of Adam to the present day, could, as far as area is con- cerned, have found ample standing room in England. -London Tit -Bits.

A Union Pacific engineer has a fash- ion of making unique pocket pieces for his friends. He runs a passenger engine west, and when, oiling previous to a run he drops a.nickel 5 cent piece into the brass oil 'oup on the crosshead of the pis- ton rod. His run is 800 miles. When he reaches his destination, he unscrews the top of the oil cup and takes the nickel out. It has been metamorphosed into a curious little button with an evenly turned rim, within which on the one side is the countersunk head of Liberty, divested of her stars, and on the other - side the V and the wreath. The edge of the crown is as perfect as if it bad been pounded on an anvil by an expert silver- smith. The perfection of this is due to the even vabr , non the coin has been sub- jected trThe motion of the piston is horizontal, and it travels 48 inches, back and forth, with every revolution of the wheels.- The interior of the oil cup is round, and the edges of the nickel as it travels back and forth in the oil striking, the sides of the cup, are turned over and pounded into perfect round- ness. Sometimes a nickel is left in the cup during the round'trip, or 600 miles. When taken out, it is a nickel bullet, a perfect polished sphere. Who discovered this unique method of turning the edges of a nickel is not known, but many en- gineers know of it. -Tacoma Ledger. Foretold the Wheel. - "There is no new thing under the sun."
