Corn is a vigorous feeder and re sponds well to liberal fertiliza tion. On corn lands the yield increases and the soil improves if properly treated with fer tilizers containing not under 7% actual Potash. A trial of this plan costs bul little and is sure to lead to profitable culture. All abaut Potash—the results of its uvr by actual ex netinieiu on the best farms in the United State*—ii told m a little book which we publish and will gladly mad free to any farmer in America who will write for it.

PuliUer Side., New York SOME’POSSUM SKETCHES- Zeb White, tie Tells now His Wife Helped Him Out of a Scrape. ‘•When I was in the moonshine bizness,” said Zeb White, as we sat on a log on the slope of the Cumber land Mountains for an hour’s rest, “I got three or four bad scares, but none of’em was ekal to the one I’m now goin’ to tell you about. My still was a small one and to make any profit I had to carry my own kegs away. 1 had three or four ten gallon kegs, and after a run I'd shoulder one and car ry it six miles over the mountain to a sartin place and sell the stuff. One day 1 brung a keg up to the house, so’s to git an airly start, and I found the ole woman lookin’ mighty upsot. “ ‘What's happened?’ sez I. arter hidin’ the keg in the bresh, a few rods away. ‘What's got the matter with yo’?’ “ ‘lt’s fidgets,’ sez she. “ ‘But what about ?’ “ ‘Fidgets kase I’ve seen a strange man around. Zeb White, yo’ ar’gwine to git cotched to night, as sure’s yer bo’n!’ ‘“Shoo! Shoo!’ ‘“l’m a-feelin’ it in my bones, Zeb, and yo' know I don’t git skeered over nothin’. Better wait two or three days.’ “‘But I can't. I promised that whisky fur to-night, and it’s got to go. Reckon yo' ar’ gwine to have a chill and feel upsot.’ “‘lt’s no chill, Zeb. If yo’ take that keg away to night yo II be cotch ed and sent to prison. Vo pay ten shun to my words. Don t own up to the still.’ “‘Of co’se not.’ “‘Don’t own up to whisky 'tall/ “No.’ “‘Jest don’t sav nuthin' except that sulphur water is good fur my rheuma ticks. ■ Now go on, and may the Land be witli yo’ and keepsum sense in yo’r Head.’ “That was queer talk,” I said, as the old man looked away into the valley with a smile on his face. “Powerful quare, sah, but it turned out all right. I’d got about half way over the ridge and was feelin’ that I’d git through all right, when a man sud denly steps out on the path in front of me and cries out fur me to stand. Other men cum tip outer the airtli, as it was, and I knowed I’d bin took. “‘Waal, who is it and what’s want ed?’ “‘Do yo’ surrender, Zeb White?' ‘“ln co’se, but what d’ye want?” “‘We want yo' sah. and we’ve got yo’ at last! Bin layin’ fur yo’fur three months past. Yo' won't make no mo’ moonshine whisky this y’ar, Zeb White—not this y'ar! Cum along now, and if yo’ try ony of yo’r tricks yo’ll git a bullet!’ “So they captured you with the keg on your shoulder?” 1 queried. “With the keg on my shoulder, sah, and as I walked along with ’em 1 knowed they had a dead case on me. They had a camp not fur away, and when we reached it I made out that there was Jive men in the crowd. They was jest tickled to death, too, over my captur.’ They took the keg off my shoulder and put handcuffs on me, and 1 heard one of 'em say I would git at least two y’ars in prison. They soon began bluffin' me to know whar’ the still was, and whar' I was goin’ to sell the whisky but remem berin’ the ole woman’s words. 1 acted drefful inneroent. Bimeby the boss o' the gang lifts up the keg a.ul smells it and sez: *“Zel>, yo" must hev put a heap of water in this whisk, fur it don’t smell fur shucks.' “‘Who said it was whisky?" I asks as hold as a sheep. ‘“Mebbewe don’t know whisky from water, but I’m tillin’ yo’ that the stuff in this keg will send yo" up to Albany fur a good many months." "Then another man smells of the keg; then another, aftd puffy soon 1 seed they was puzzled. Bimeby one of 'em pulls out a gimlet and bores a hole, and when 1 seed what cum out o' that keg l was so dun knocked out that 1 couldn't speak. If it wasn't water I'm a’possum! Yes, sab; it was clear water and them five men stood thar’ and looked at each other like idiots. The ole woman's words about sulphur water and rheumaticks hit me all to once, and 1 began to laff. That set the boss of the gang almost wild. He jumped up and down and yelled at me: “•Zeb White, yo’ ole reprobate, but I'm a mind to throw yo’ over a cliff! What ar' yo' doin' on this mount'in at this time o' night with a keg of water 'on yo’r shoulder?’ "■lt’s fur the ole woman's rheuma ticks.' •“But yo' wasn't headed fur home!' •••No. 1 was gwine up the rocks a bit to loeik fur b'ar tracks.' "1 never seed five madder men in all my bo'n days,'" laughed Zeb, "and sum of 'em were fur givin' me the switch. .Vs they had no proofs agin me they had to take off the handcuff's and let me go, but I tell yo' it did hurt their feelin’s to do it. I picked up my keg and sot out fur home. The ole woman was waitin' fur me, and as I opened the door she looked up with a grin on her face and sez: “‘Zeb, did yo’ find company on the mountain ?’ “ ‘Yes. Five revenue men.' “fAnd yo' didn't try to git away?' “‘No.’ ‘“Did they seem to feel powerful bad about it?’ “‘ They did, fur suah. When did yo’ change them kegs on me?’ •“When yo’ went back to. the still. 1 jest felt what was gwine to happen and wanted to save yo’. Don't you gwine to steppin' high and feelin’ peart about it, bekase you'd hev gone Ito prison but fur me. The I.awd sent the feelin' to me, I reckon, and I worked it out and saved yo’r hide.' “'('hat was a sharp trick,” I said, as the old man refilled his pipe. “Couldn't be beatf’ he chuckled. \ “And the next keg of whisky all went fur shoes, kaliker and snuff fur her!” —M. Quad, in St. Louis Republic. OLD PEOPLE. Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.

And before I tell it to you I want to ; ask you how you like cats. Don’t | know? Well I know. I hate ’em. Ever since a fellow I knew told me you have to drive them away from a corpse sometimes, I've been hating them, and I expect to the rest of my life. But after an experience onej night last week, I not only loathe them, I fear thfem. “Well, here’s how it was. I was sitting in the library the other night, looking fhto the fire and there wasn’t any other light in the room. I was musing away, as a fellow will some times, you know, when he is looking steadily into the fire. The first thing I knew, what I thought was a couple of coals glowing out of the grate, turn ed out to be a gray cat sitting right dab on the hearth and not doing a tiling but looking square into my eyes. The thing startled me and I yelled out to John, the nigger, asking whose, the devil, cat this was. John didn’t answer. He was evidently gone. I seemed to be by myself in the house. ‘Skat!’ 1 said ‘Sk— ’ but the word stuck to my mouth. The damned cat had each eye set as squarely on each of my own as ever did Svengali fix his villainous optics upon Trilby. My blood commenced to freeze. I thought, perhaps the animal was mad. Kindness, perhaps, would bring it around, and so I said, ‘Kitty, kitty' kitty,’- but kitty’s eyes burned red, and j 1 thought I saw two straight rays from] her phosphorescent sockets to my own eyes. I began to feel sleepy. I tried furiously to rise and leave the house. I tried to cry out. I think the cat moved toward me. Her eyes grew larger and brighter. I now felt helpless. The strange feline might have buried her claws in my throat and 1 would not have resisted. 1 heard her purring, and. suddenly, she leaped upon my lap and glared into my very soul. I did not mind it now. I wanted to sleep. I closed my eyes and dreamed of two great soft stars burning in a far gray skv—those were the cat's eyes, I suppose. The next 1 knew, John the nigger, was asking me: “ -Boss, what you bin sleepin’ all night in dat cheer full?’ “ -Where’s that cat?’ I asked him, the blood clotting in my veins as 1 re membered it all. “ -What cat is dat, boss? Yessuh, 1 did see a gray cat. whut -sheeted pass me when 1 cum through de back do' dis mawnin'.’ “In other works." said my friend. “I've been hypnotized by a cat. And I tell you one thing, the next feline that gives me even as much as a side long .glance gets it in the neck with this stick." My friend shook a heavy hickory by way of emphasis and prophecy.— Atlanta Journal. CASTOniA.

A Society In New York City to Beautify the Avenues. Without doubt the Tree Planting as sociation of New York has undertaken a hiost beneficent work. So far as it proves to be practicable, it will contrib ute as much as any other scheme that could be projected for the embellish ment of tho city. The incorporators ara to a considerable extent the same as the incorporators of the Botanic garden— men well known for public spirit and intelligence. Thus the society begins under the mot favorable possible aus pices, for caution and discrimination as well as for enterprise. Of course its work will be largely ex perimental. I’hero are streets, even resi dential streets, in New York in which it may not bo wise to attempt tree plant ing at all, for the reason that the space cannot be spared, either, from tho side walk or the roadway, for (he boxes that must protect the young trees or for the trunks of such as live to maturity. Even in those streets in which there is room enough for trees there are many places in which no trees can thrive by reason of the lack of sunshine; and, indeed, there aic .scarcely any streets in New York below the park in which trees can bo expected to do so well as in a place like Washington, where the streets are so wide and the buildings so low as to give all trees that may be planted a fair chance for life. Almost the only streets in New York that are as favorably sit uated are the Broadway boulevard and the Riverside drive. The boulevard has been until within the past few months a dismal monument to municipal neg lect. Now it is kppt in order, but time is required to replace the trees that have been allowed to die, and the double row of trees that were meant “high over arched to embower” does not embower at all, but presents upon the wholes scraggy and dismal spectacle. This, of course, comes mainly from neglect, for there is no reason why trees in this thoroughfare should not thrive if they can he made to thrive anywhere in New York. The general introduction of electric lighting will do much for the trees unless gas is still carried through the ground for fuel. It is-given out that uncontaminated earth will be used for the setting of the new trees, but, judg ing from what we have experienced in the opening of Fifth avenuo fora sewer and the previous openings of other ave nues for laying cables, the percolation of tho gas tlAuigh the fresh soil would be a matter of only weeks at the longest. Tho new association is plainly destined to encounter many obstacles. If it suc ceeds in gaining even a partial victory over them, it will entitle itself to the gratitude of all New Yorkers.—New York Times. a great many spiaer3. espe cially among the. tropical varieties, which have three eyes, one on each side of tho head and the third exactly in the center of the “forehead. ” This middle or third eye is always the largest.

Although the Quakers, as a sect, do not favor music, regarding it ns a profit less amusement indulged in by the world’s people, there are occasionally stories told which show that tho love of music sometimes steals its way into a Quaker household in spite of discipline. George Thompson, tho famous English abolitionist, while lecturing on the abo lition of slavery in the British provinces, stopped one night with a Quaker family. Ho was a great iover of music, and at that time was a good singer. During the evening he sang “Offc> In tho Stilly Night, ” which was listened to with the closest attention. In the morning his Quaker hostess appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished to hear the song again, but it would hardly do, she thought, for her to re quest its repetition. At last, however, her desire overcame her scruples. “‘George, ” she said, with a faint pink color iu her soft cheeks, “will thee re peat the words of last evening in thy usual manner?’’ —Youth’s Companion. At His Own Expense, Mr. Bluff—Look here, young man, you’re always going about with my' daughter, and I want to know what your intentions aro regarding her? Young Man—l really have no inten tions, sir. Mr. Bluff (angrily)—Then, what do you mean by amusing yourself at my daughter’s expense? Young Man (airily)—l’m not amus ing myself at your daughter's expense, sir, but at my own expense. I always pay for the theater tickets and refresh ments.—Pearson’s Weekly. Exchanging Compliments. “I see that yon are your own washer woman,” said Mrs. spitely, who was leading her poodle past the place. “Yes,” retorted Mrs. Snaply. “But, thank goodness, I’m not reduced to playing nursegirl for a dog. ” —Detroit ** " * j ‘‘GOOD TIMES,” SAYS GOULD. George J. Gould, in speaking of the financial and commercial situation, says : “I feel greatly encouraged. We have unquestionably seen the worst, and from this improvement, albeit slow at first will be conspicuous, and we may safely look forward to a long pesiod of general activity and nation al prosperity. “Liquidation has unquestionably run its full course as far as the securi. ty market is concerned. “There may be one or two weak spots, one or two weeds to be pulled up, but on the whole I think it is safe to say that improvement of tip small cabbie may reasonably be expected— and anticipated.” The old lady was right when she said, the child might die if they wait ed for the doctor.

HONESTY I HATHAWAY & CO,. SKILL 1 224 South Broad St., a a Atlanta, Ga. - A Womanly Woman OF THE OLD SCHOOL, Whose Motherly Face Inspires Confidence and Veneration, and is the Index of a Mind Stored With Lofty >deas, MRS. SARAH BRADLEY. Between the lines of Mrs. Bradley’s statement, ts given below one reads something of the history of this devoted wife and mother. Surely she has passed through the furnace of affliction “heated doubly hot-,” and the joy that reigns in her household on account of her restoration will be shared by a largo circle of acquaintances. Mrs. Bradley is a widely known pioneer resi dent of Brockway, Trumbull Cos., Ohio. It is with a view to helping others who are sufferers from nervous disorders or disease of the heart, that sha sends us the statement of her case, which is certainly one of the most com plicated in medical history, and should convince the most skeptical reader that Dr. Miles’ remedies cure when all other means fail. 00 fg "Twelve years ago the 25th day of last December I was compelled to take to my bed on account of extreme nervousness. My husband said he would rather ire to the penitentiary than through another such siege as he had with me for a, few years previous. Little did he suspect he was then on the eve of a twelve year campaign. We ersoloyed in all twenty-six different physicians, the best we could hear of. alk ; t cost us over $2,000.00, but I only grew worse. I became wholly unable .' walk, and they carried me from one room to another. I became so nervous the doors had to be cushioned, the clocks were stopped and the family went about in their stocking feet. I was so miserable that life seemed unendurable, and all I asked for was death. The doctor said my extreme nervousness was caused byexcresenceof the urethra and performed four different operations, which nearly cost my life each time,"but no benefit resulted. To give me strength strychnine was given me every day for live years and calomel every third day for three years. My headaches were terrible, esnecially in lower back part of head, and sharp oains between shoulders, C/~ vn niv back and side of limb. My back was scarred and cupped for th* years and blistered the whole length with fly blisters. Nothing I ate would digest, but simply distressed me. Worse than all, however, was my nervous fear. I was so full of fear I dared not eat, nor driuk, nor try to walk or sleep, yet I did not know what I was afraid of. I was a wearisome burden to my friends. At last the druggist persuaded my husband to have me try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. The first, bottle was not finished before I could eat with a relish and was able to walk, and before I had taken three bottles was able to do my own work, and after taking six bottles I am cured. My weight has increased over fifty pounds. No words of mine are able to tell the good it has done me and I never tire of telling to others the story of my cure.” Mbs. S. Bradley.

The statistics of crime for the years' 1890 to 1896, inclusive, dis close some interesting points. Ihe total number of murders occurring in the United States in the past seven years foots up 54,557, an average of 7.793 per annum, or 29 per day. The lowest number was 4,290, in 1890; the highest, in 1896 —10,552, or more than double. During that period, there have been 820 hangings an average of 117 per annum, or one for every 66 killings. There were during the seven years a total of 1246 lynchings, an average oi 178 per an num. The highest number was 235, in 1892; the lowest, 127, in 1890. In the seven years also, the total num ber of suicides reached 31,058, an average of 4,436 per annum, or over 12 per day. The lowest number was 2,040 in 1890. and the highest, 6,520, in 1896. While lynchings and hang ings have decreased, murder and sui cide have doubled. Is the fact that in 1896 more than 17,000 people died by violence inflicted by themselves or others, attributable to lawlessness and misery ?
