lady went into a dentist’s office the

badly dccnyr.d, but by quito an
outlay of money ho could put them
in good shape. Tho young lady
departed saying sho would report
to her husband and call again in a
few days. She did so, and on her
seeond cull was accompanied by
her father, the latter telling the
demist to go ahead with the job
and he would pay tho bill. Think¬
ing that the dentist might wonder
why ho was paying the bid, the
father explained that tho husband
had said his wife’s teeth were de¬
cayed before he married her, and
he was not going to pay for fixing
them up; her father ought to do it.

Women as Inventors.
According to a document rceent
ly issued by the Commissioner of
Patents, tho number ol patents is¬
sued to women since 1790 is 2.500.
This is evidence of the fact that
women ia well as men are capable
of inventing and many of these
patents also prove them to bo quite
as practical and possessing equal
skill. The first patent granted to
a lady was that for straw weaving
with silk or thread, and was issued

Mount Sinai Guano.
The choapest and best fertilizer
which has been advertised in the
Clarion is the now celebrated Jum¬
bo Jewett guano The farmers say
that it is tlie very thing. It is sold
free to every man w ho will buy a
wheelbarrow and a scoop- and get
up carl}* fn the morning. Tho
Clarion toda}* presents another
guano whose merits will soon be
known and appreciated. It has
already been tried by all or most
of the practical farmers, and tl.hu
testimonial; would be presented
but for the fact of thoir number.
You can find u man in every neigh-,
oorhood who has tried the Mt.
Sinai formula and will cordially
recommend it.
It is adapted to both sandy and
clay soils. It will do more to ron
ovate old land than any other ter*,
tilizor. It is good for porn, cotton
oats, groundpeas, potatoes, The vege¬
tables and melons. man who
uses it steadily nevor fails to mako
a crop. Tiio Clarion challenges
the record for a single instance.
No farmer can make any money
who doesn’t uso it. Not ohp has
ever prospered w’ho didn’t use ihe
formula under some namo or other.
Its price is within the reach of all,
cither for cash or on timo. The
Clarion mnri, is frequently called
on b)’ brother farmers for points
about the various guanos. Now
most conscientiously farmer we insist that
ever}’ try tho Mt. Sinai this
reason, and if a singlo failure is re¬
ported at this offico or to the agents
of the fertilizer, the Clarion wll
give a year’s subscription. The
elements arc so ready at hand that
every man can manufacture it for
himself at little or no expense.
Tho Mt. Sinai formula is this:
Keep out of town on Saturdays.
Or if you have to go, get your mail
(with the Clarion in it, of course)
and then get back homo as soon as
possiblo. Gei your wagon and
art, shovel and hoe and haul rich
dirt or anything that *will ro* on
some part of your land. If there
is plowing to be done, of course
you will not stop your teams to
come to town just to pay your sub¬
scription to the Clarion, to buy a
plug of tobacco or some other little
ihing which your neighbor or your
little boy could bring you. Bettor
iinvo j oar teams hauling pine straw'
to be dumped on thin land than
have them tied up to a “town boss
rack.” Tho pine straw and fence
corner dirt will do some good, but
idle timo in town will do
your farm much harm.
Saturday work is tho thing need¬
ed on every farm. It is the Mt.
Sinai guano—so called, because the
Almighty, through Moses on Sinai,
gave us the* bommand, *‘Six days
shalt thou labor and do all thy
work.” lie didn t say six days
may est thou labor, but six days
shalt thou labor. Tho law of God
doesn’t say five days shalt thou
labor and go to town on the sixth.
It is the irrevocable and beneficent
law of creation thundered on Sinai.
It is a law of natiiro to work six
da} 3 and. brother farmers, j’ou
can’t break the laws of nature with¬
out judgment bringing down on your head
of nature’s God. And
the penalty is not reserved,“like tho
penalty for many sins, for (he
future xvoild. Tho penalties for
breaches of nature’s law are inva¬
riably inflicted in ibis life.
Merchants, lawyers, doctors, me¬
chanics, bankers, railroad mon and
others work all six days of the
week aud prosper. Hush up about
there being no money in farming if
you throw away even a good part
of your Saturdays. There would
bo no money to yen in anything
with that habit.
Now then let us farm on the Mt.
Sinai plan. Work six days as Mo¬
ses told you and work vigorously,
so as to do all that can bo done.
Kcst on the seventh day and let it
be rest. Thai’s God’s law too.
And let your land rest every sev
enth year. t Oar* God made this
earth and ho knows what ought to
be done with it.
Were half the breath thus vainly
spent in idleness on Saturdays de¬
voted to work, this country would
prosper. The writer doesn’t know
a single farmer who has made
money feeding m days’ iles for five or
and a half woric. He
doesn’t know a laborer that has ac¬
cumulated money who quits work
regularly on Saturday. The dray¬
men, porters, barbers and regular
afrm hands make something. Their
work goes on all the week. But
show us a single instance where
one one of these fellows who inva¬
riably insist on “Knocking off on
Sadd} ’ isn’t yet as poor as Jobs
turkey. The Almighty's law is
absolute. He made man and made
his law for man’s good. It is a sin
to work on Sunday. It is a sin not
to work on Saturday.—Camilla
Clarion. "* L
,

prisoners eiimbing and going down

ed : “Turf, sir; is grass and clean

Eis Last Drunk.
A party of half a dozen gentle
men were sitting in Colonel Ma
gruder’s comfortable office at the
££ “-d “..K1& .heTist^
of Home a few years ago. The
name of Louis Graves was Lien
tioned, when one of the company,
well known as a teetotaler, said:
“Gentlemen, I am satisfied that
that man was the cause of my being
a sober man today. You all know
that when I worked for ——- I
got good wages; and you know.
too, that 1 didn’t save much money,
Well, tho reason was that I made
large bilis in Graves’ saloon every
month, and I paid them promptly,
Xnnd off, and stot stepped y J hf.rt into pay b v e n" my paiJ ac
count li was $d<.UU,. and after
paying the bill and getting my re
ceipt I was. stirring sugar and
water in a glass, preparing to take
a drink, as Louis always “set'em
ep " when a feUow paid h„ aceoont.
While sUrrjjjg the sugar and
I began thinking and becams so
absorbed l Ihe >orgot to drink,
Noticing this asked said: me
was Vho i
Graves, 1 was thinking that I had
just paid you enough mono}’ to buy
a good suit of clothes, and I've at
good mind to quit drii king.’ Quick
as a flash, and with a single sweep
of tho hand, ho dashed tho glass
from me, and walking from behind
his counter, laid his hand upon m)
shoulder and said: ‘My young
friend, you are right.’ Then taking
m 3 * arm, he walked out to a cloth*
mg store, where he ordorod for me
a fine suit of clothes, telling tin
salesman to send him tho bill.

Fat Produced by ('iquids.
' Liquids make fat. There is no
doubt of this in my mind though 1
am fully cognizant of tho (act that
a good many people will deny it,
hut the practic of drinking invarily
leads to^unwieldly bulk. In Spain,
where men drink little a fat man is
unknown. In Paris,whero the mon
content themselves with sipping
thimhleslesful of absinthe or small
cups of black coffee,tho French are
thin to a* remarkable degree. The
women, on the other hand, drink
great quantities arid of champagne, Bur¬
gundy, latterly beer, and they
aro as a result prone to stoutness.
In England men drink ale and
beer and they aro a thick* necked,
pudgey and heavy raced as a rule.
I had observed all this many times
and when 1 wsnt to Germany,
where I knew that consumytion of
beer was very great l had prepared
to find fat men in abundanco. 1
was not disappointed. There would
seem to be absolutely no end of big.
corpulent and unwieldy men in
Gormany. While they aro in tho
army they arc slim and splendid
looking tiicy warriors, but two months
attcr leave the ranks they be
come heavy, puffy and beefy to the
last degree. This is even so in the
ranks among tho other soldiers,
and cavalry were men of such ex¬
traordinary weight that thoy al¬
ways excited comment from stran¬
gers.—Philadelphia Times.
