Why Girls Should Marry.
Lulia’a Weekly.
When the opportunity comes to marry
well Women should accept it, and in the
early years of married life she should
find her highest joy and make her big
gest contribution to society in the care
and rearing of children. This would
not mean intellectual stagnation. Qn
the contrary, if these years are not
marked by mental growth on the part
■of the mother, she will not be able to
fulfill her complete duty to her children.
“Any active-minded mother,” sayB
Dr. Eliot, “who follows the mental de
velopment of five or six children will
receive a second schooling greatly su
perior to her first.”
'Mrs. Reina Melcher Marquis, author
of “The Torch Bearer,” emphasizes
the same point when she says: "The
woman who does not develop herself to
the utmost will fail in her mission of
motherhood.” Marriage doeB, indeed,
often usher in a period of intellectual
etagnation. Under the stimulus of the
world of business in which be moves
the husband is constantly improving
himself. The wife, unless she resolves
never to permit the multitudinous cares
of the children and the household to
crowd out Intellectual pursuits, cehses
to grow, while her husband moveB
away from her. Yet motherhood, if it
is .to render its best service in the train
ing of children, needs all the inspira
tion' it can get from books, from music,
from art, and from a daily knowledge
of the great movements that are going
on in the world. The mother who thus
keeps ahead of her children will in
fluence them most in their early years,
and will be their best companion and
counsellor when they grow up..

Now Feels Entirely Well.
A. H. Francis, Zenith, JCans., writes:
“I had a severe pain in my back and
could hardly move. I took about two-
thirds of a 50c. box of Foley’s Kidney
Pills and now feel entirely well,” Mid
dle-aged and older men and women find
-these pills relieve sleep-disturbing blad-
,der ailments. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
His name was Ferdinand Augustus.
He had long hair, a limp tie and a pen
sive look. He had written a poem en
titled “WhyT Live" and sent it to a
magazine editor. The editor replied
.shortly:
“Dear Friend Augustus: The reason
why you live is because you mailed .us
your poem instead of bringing it in per
son,”
After LaGrippe—What ?
F. G. Prevo, Bedford, Ind., writes:
“An attack of lagrippe left me with a
severe cough. I tried everything. I
got so thin it looked as if I never would
get well. Finally, 'ttoo bottles of Fo
ley’s Honey and Tar' Compound cured
me. I am now well and back to my
normal weight.” A reliable remedy for
coughs, colds and croup.- J. F. Lee
Drug Co.
“Say, young man, you told me I could
carry tbiB fountain pen upside down in
my pocket.”
“Yes, sir, I did.”
“Well, look at this vest.”
“My dear sir, you evidently filled
that pen before you put it in your
pocket—you shouldn’t have done that.”
A gentleman was strolling across a
large estate, when he came on a man
fishing.
“What sort of fish do' you catch
here?” he said. /
“Mostly trout,” replied the man.
“How many have you caught?”
“About 10 or 12, sir. ”
“What is about the heaviest you
have caught?” continued the gentle-
man.
“Well, 1 don’t know the weight, but
the water sunk two or three feet when
X pulled him out.”
Money Meklrg TreeB That Grow In the
Pooreit Kind of Soil.
The cork oak Is a kind of Jack at all
trades among trees, and Its service in
dicates well the kind of nqw freedom
that trees may give us by thfilr new
helpfulness If we will Just give them
a ehanco. If the garden of Eden story
hud been written in 3pain or Portugal
I think the fortunate couple would
have been placed In possession of a
cork forest If a man in either of
these countries bas a forest of good
vork trees you will find him in Madrid,
Lisbon or Paris. His cork forest works
for him, and he stays In town.
Cork trees grow on the rockiest and
poorest land. The poorer the land the
finer the quality of the cork. Every
eight or ten years the outer bark is
stripped from the trees to furnish the
ever more highly prized cork of com
merce. By dividing the land up into
blocks this decennial harvest will pro
duce a fnirly regular Income.
These same oak trees produce acorns,
often heavily, which nre sold to some
farmer, who drives his herds of lean
ho&a Into the forest, where they har
vest the acorns and turn them Into
snlnble ment A Portuguese hog Is ex
pected to gain two pounds a day for
ninety days whin acorns are ripe.
More than this, there is beneath the
oak trees some herbage fit for goats to
eat Thus the cork forest owner in Lis
bon gets income from three contrac
tors—the cork stripper, the pork raiser
.and the goat raiser. And with care
the forest lasts forever, The individual
cork tree is good for a- hundred years
or more, after which it Is a fine big
salable^ tree, with enough young ones
near it to take its place when it Is
gone to market In Portugal a cork
tree, ready for its third stripping, Is
considered worth $25. When in full
bearlug an acre of these oaks will
yield from one to three tons of cork
at a stripping, now worth about $70
a ton to the grower. Most of this Is
profit Tho pork Is profit It Is the
comtpon rule that the income from
the pasture pays the small cost of
caring for the forest.—J. Russell Smith

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
To Be Wall Dressed Means to Be At
tired In Good Taste.
Dress Is a subject frequently In the
minds of many. Some think too much
about It and some not enough. No one,
however brilliant In ability, even a
'•genius," can afford to he careless In
this matter. "Ho Is bpst dressed," says
Trollope, "whose dress no one ob
serves." Little touches of Individuality
in one’s clothing are well, but it Is not
In the best taste to adopt any peculiar
striking style that will make people In
the street turn their heads-for further
observation.
One should beware of extremes In
fushlon. Means and occupation should
be considered In chooBlng wbnt to wenr.
Even the poorest garments. If clean, In
'order and properly worn, give n good
Impression of the wearer. Women
should give sufficient attention to dress
to decide what is suitable for the time
and occasion and. that it is rightly ad
justed and no further attention.
To be welK dressed is a passport,
opening doors otherwise closed.
To be lavishly dressed betokens
shullow mind. It would appear that one
thought his clothes the better part of
him. Even children’s dress should be
thought of with care. Their clothing
should not prevent free action in their
play. Nor should it bo so rich as to
give them an Idea of superiority to chil-
dren less expensively dressed and so
make snobs of them.
The carefully dressed man shows
more self respect than the sloven.—

What.Boys Are Like.
In the American Magazine Frances
L. Qarslde, writing under the title
“Just Boys,” contributed the follow
ing paragraph: “If a boy is quiet, ev
eryone wonders what he Is up to
now, and If he is noisy everyone
knows and disapproves. When a boy
enters a room In which there are
seated tne members of the family and
his dog, he always speaks to the dbg
first."

We Have Eleven Speoies and All Are
Frlenfie of the Farmer.
[Prepared by United States department of
agrlculturod
Altogether theto are W|lff.fi the limits
of the United States eleven apeclds of
thrushes, five of which are commonly
known as robins and bluebirds. The
other six Include the Towuseud soli
taire, the wood, the veory, the gray
cheek, tho olive back and the hermit
thrush.
The robins and bluebirdB nest close
to houses, and even the shiest of the
other species are content with the se
clusion of an acre or two of woodland
or swamp. For thlB reason the thrush-
es are among tho best known and most
carefully protected of native American
birds, and at times their numbers be
come so great that it is feared they
will do much harm to crops and fruit.
The investigations of the department
of agriculture, however, show that
there Is very little ground for this fear.
On tho other hand, they destroy such a
vast number of insects each year that
it Is probable that without them many
crops would suffer serious damage.
Of all tho thrushes the robin Is prob
ably the best known. It has been fre
quently accused of destroying fruits
and berries, but it has now been ascer
tained-that this only occurs In regions
that are so thickly settled that there Is
no. wild fruit upon which tho robin
may subsist In some years thetfnrd la
a great pest In the olive orchards of
California, but it la probable that they
are driven to the orchards because of
the scarcity, of native berries at these
times. Where a wild fruit Is available
the birds seem to prefer it to the culti
vated varieties.
Llko the robin, the btheblrd Is very
domestic; but, unlike the robin, It does
not prey upon any cultivated product
or work any injury whatever to tho
fruit grower. During tho fruit season,
in fact, five-sixths of Its food consists
of insects. It seems, therefore, that the
common practice of encouraging the
bluebird to nest near houses by placing
convenient boxes in which it may build
its home is thoroughly justified.
The six other species of the thrush
group also feed principally on lnsecta
and fruit, but a great portion-of the
fruit which they consume Is wild ber
ries. Domestic fruits are eaten so spar
ingly by these species that the daniage
done is quite negligible.
The bird known as the Townsend
solitaire Is noted chiefly for its song,
which Is said to be at times the finest
of any of the thrush family. This
thrush, however, confines Itself almost
entirely to the mountains and gorges of
the far west The wood thrush, on tho
other band, Is distributed over the east
ern part of the United States and Is a
frequenter of open groves and bushy
pastures. This thrush also Is noted for
Its sweet song, especially In the early
evening. It doeB not nest In gardens of
orchards, however, and is seldom seen
about farm buildings, so that' many
people who are familiar with Its song
would not know the bird by sight The
wood thrush consumes a number of
very harmful insects such as the Colo
rado potato beetle and white grubi
The fruit which it eats it usual!y plcli
up from the ground instead of taking
fresh from the trees. There Is there
fore no reason why the woqd thrush
should not be rigidly protected.
The other varieties also seen) to eat
little that Is of value to farmers, while,
on the other hand, they destroy multi
tudes of harmful insects each year.
Proven Swamp-Root
Aids Weak Kidneys
The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a run-down con
dition. The kidneys seem to sutler
most, as almost every victim complains
of lame back and .urinary troubles
which should rot be neglected, as these
danger signals often lead to dangerous
kidney troubles.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, which
soon heals and strengthens the kid
neys, is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost imme
diately noticed in moBt cases by those
who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better got a
bottle from your nearest drug store,
and start treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure to mention The New-
nun Herald.
Military Pensions In 8ervia.
Servian soldiers enjoy a pension,
granted only to Invalid cases. The or
dinary veteran who does not suffer
some injury which would render him
invalid / es not receive a pension, mil
itary service in Servia being compul
sory. Invalid pensions in Servia are
paid by the year—that is, each appli
cant who is granted a pension receives
a certain sum each year. In case the
soldier receives injuries which would
render him partially Invalid he receives
only part of the yearly amount, most
likely one-half, but In case of the sol
dler being totally Invalid he gets the
full amount.
One on the Stenographer.
The other day a little stenographer in
a downtown office in Boston begged
some workmen who were putting up a
new telephone not to place It so high
on the wall as they were doing.
“You see,” she said, “I have to use It
as much as any one, and I am so short
that I can hardly reach it”
“Oh, well, miss,” said the humorist
in charge of the work, “yoa can raise
your voice, can’t you?"—Boston' Tran

just as the limited was pulling out. A

porters and yardmen standing by. On
hiB sad and pulling return one of the

It is common gossip in the South that SWIFT are the
only people who can deliver 50% of last year's tonnage.
We aeclmed large profits from powder manufacturers and
reserved our materials for our Southern Fertilizer Trade.
We did this, believing that we will be repaid by-well satisfied custom
ers for having held our Sulphuric Acid, Acid Phosphate and Potash for
our regular fertilizer business.
We have the goods all stacked up in fine, dry, well cured condition
with a shipping organization ready to give the famous Swift Service. Con
tracting is on with a rush and the indications point surely to a fertilizer de
mand in the South far in excess of the fertilizers available.
We advise every dealer and every farmer to place his orders tor the
ealliest possible shipment he can take so as to be sure to get his fertil
izer requirements. Buy Swift’s and take no chance and get in your
shipping orders now.
