Northern Michigan.

According to our announcenient in another
(.'(l'llllllll, we shall present in the various is-
sues of the Visrroi-: this winter. articles
from the counties of northern Michigan,
descriptive of their agricultural resources.
“'0 present Ontonagoii county in this issue.
Menoiiiinee county will have its turn in
our next issue. and Dickiiison and Iron
counties, if the gentlemen we have asked
to write respond in time.

1) utonag-on County,

BY AI.FI{Iil) .\IF..»\l).~'.

You ask me for a few lines from this end
of "Michigan‘s tlcpcntlency,"-tlie upper
)(‘lllI1Slll:l, as to our agricultural resources.
Iaving been a resident here for 36; years I
can speak asonc in autliority. The county
of Ontonagan possesses some of the best
agricultural land to. be found in Michigan
or the northwest. No better can be found
anywhere: everything that can be grown
in a northern latitude can be _:rown here.
and that includes evcrytliing in Ferry or
Vicks‘ seed list except peaches and grapes.
I assert \vitliout fear of contradictioii that
no tiner wheat. both spring and winter,
oats. barley. rye. vegetables, root crops
and fruit can be or has been grown than
_grows right here in Ontonagon county.

I".\lt.\l.\‘ L‘_\'I)I~Z\' I-II.OI'I'Il).

lhit why. your readers will ask, has this
not been known or vcritied before? My
answer is that in general we are not an ag-
i'icultui'al coiuinunity. ‘We ai_'e miners.
.\'early all the attempts at tariuing have
been in an experiniental way, and in most
instances by inexperienced men who spoiled
good mines to make poor farms. \\'ereI
to tell you of the monstrous growth of oui'
vegetables your readers would put me
down as belonging tothetribe of Ainiaiiias.
but at the risk of that I will say that our
winter and spring wheat is superior to that
grown elsewhere. in Michigan or in Da-
kota. Our oats. will. in a good season.
go from T0 to 80 bushels per aci'c. Our
barley is superior to the Canadian; cab-
bage that will not go into an ordinary bar-
relibut might be squeezed into a Ia1'ge well
tube: turnips that will till a bushel meas-
ure; potatoes the tinest in the world, some
specimens weighing three and four pounds.
yielding a peck to a hill and son bushels
per acre. Fruit of every kind do remark-
ably well. All kinds of berries grow wild.
strawberries. raspberries. bh1ekl)el'1‘ies,
huckleberries. cranberries. (high and low
bush) and many other berries. L‘herries
and plums grow wild. also grapes in my
own garden in the village. I have grow-
ing. thrifty, seven varieties of plums (no
ciireulio) and many kinds of apples, and
recent visitors fi'oni lower Michigan who
have seen them say they have seen nothing
like it in lower Michigan. And this is in
a niiner‘s garden. What would he done
with it if you or some practical agricultur-
ist got hold of it God only knows, as I now
have to prop up nearly every limb on the
apple and plum trees: the branches of the
plum trees hang down overloaded with
plums. like a bunch of grapes. and many
of the Donovan and Green Gages have
yielded several bushels of plums to each
tree. In confirmation of these reports I
refer to Hon. VV. A. French. state land
commissioner, and P. Heald, state trespass
agent.

A FINE GRASS COUNTRY.

This is also a natural grass country——the
home of the timothy, red top, and white
and red clovers. The grass is sweet and
nourishing, and a drove of scrub cattle
brought here in the spring and turned out
to grass in the woods, came out in the fall
as “fat as butter.” If it is then a good
grass country it is a good dairy country,
an(l I expect before I die, though I am 65,
to see some of the largest creanieries and
cheese factories in Michigan. I beg par-
don, I mean in the “.s~taz‘e Qf Superior.” _

There are thousands of acres of land just
open for homestead entry and farmers are
flocking in from Grand Rapids, Lapeer,
Newago, and other places in Michigan and
Wisconsin. There is market for every-
thing that can be raised; tens of thousands

(‘II.\l{I.O'l"I‘Ii, .\IIL‘Ill(_}-\.V. (,)f.i'}'Dl’;Iil{ 17,

of busliels of oats. tliousands of bushels of
potatoes. hundreds of barrel-. of flour and
carload upon carload of beef and pork are
brou_ght in every fall and winter by the
minin_g and lumber companies. every «lol-
laris worth of goods of which ought to be
raised here.

Michigan‘s motto rightly belongs to the
upper peninsula. for if you wish to see a

beautiful peninsula come and see it here.

Origin of the Grange.

The Order of the I’atrons of IIllSl):lll<ll‘\'

1 originated in the mind of O. H. Kelley. a

man of New England birth, who went to

l Minnesota in his early manhood. and be-

came a farmer in that section of the coun-
ti'_v.

In 1,8034 he was appointed a clerk in the
I)epartmeiit of Agriculture at \\'asliingtoii.
Two years later. in .Ianuary, 18414;. Mr.
Kelley was commissioiied by Ilon. Isaac
,\'ewton, Connnissioner of .~\gricultui'e. to
visit the southern states, lately in hostility
to the governnient. for the purpose of ob-
taining statistical and other information in
regard to the condition of the south. and
report the same to the dcp:irtmciit :it
\\'ashin_gtoii.

It was while traveling in the south in
obedience to these instructions. that he
thou_ght of a secret society of agricultur-
ists. for the protection and advaiiccnicnt of
their interests. and as an element to restore
kindly feelings among the people. first oc-
curred to Mr. Kelley.

The idea of giving women full member-
ship in the proposed Order, originated
with Miss ('ari'ie A. Ilail of Boston. Mass.
:1 niece of Mr. Kelley‘s. to whom he had
imparted his views of the new association
after his return from the south. In the
full formation of the Order. six other men
were directly associated with Mr. Kelley.
namely. \\'illiam Saunders of the Depart-
ment of .-\_griculture. who next to Mr.
Kelley did most in originating the Order,
and Hey. A. B. Grosh. of the same depart-
ment, \\'illiam M. Ireland of the Post
Otiice I)epartii1ent. Rev. John Triiiible and
J. Ii. Tlioinpson of the ‘Treasury Depart-
ment, and F. M. McI)oweIl. a pomolo_gist
of \\'aync, N. Y., all of whom. with one
exception. were born upon a farm.

These seven men were the founders of
the Order. and for nearly two years they
laboi'cd with great eiierg_v. and with a faith
and zeal amounting almost to inspiration.
until with the assistance of friends who be-
came interested in the plan. they completed
a well-devised scheme of organization.
based upon a ritual of four degrees for
men and four for women. which is unsur-
passed in the Eiiglisli language for origi-
nality of thought, purity of sentiment. and
beauty of diction.

Having formed a constitution to govern
the Order to which this ritual was adapt-
ed, these men met on the fourth day of
December. 1867, and constituted them-
selves the. National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry. with \\'illiam Saunders as
Master; J. R. Thompson, Lecturer: \Vill—
iain M. Ireland, Treasurer, and O. H. Kel-
ley Secretary. The remaining oflices for
Obvious reasons were left vacant.

The little brown building in which the
organization was effected was at that time
the ottice of Mr. Saunders, and stood em-
bowered with the trees in the gardens of
the Agricultural Departnient on the cor-
ner of four and a half street and Missouri
avenue. Later the late Colonel Aiken of
South Carolina, and other interested mem-
hers of the Order, made vigorous efforts to
to have the government preserve this his-
toric huilding, but they were unsuccessful
in their etforts.

The tirst Subordinate Grange was organ-
ized in \\'ashington, D. 0., the 8th day of
J anuarv, 1868, as a school of instruction,
with \Villiam M. Ireland as Master.

The first dispensation for a Grange was
granted at Harrisburg, Pa., the 4th day of
April, 1868, but the tirst regular Subordi-
nate Grange to which a charter was issued
was organized at Fredonia, N. Y., the 16th
day of April, 1868.

The first State Grange, that of Minne-
sota, Was organized the 22d day of Febru-
ary, 1869. The new Order made slow pro-
gress up to 187 2, only 257 Granges having

Facts and Figures That Count.

The following is of interest when it is
reineinbered that the last State Gi'aiige ex-
pressed itself simply in favor of a deep
waterway from the lakes to the ocean:

It probably did not occur to those coiii—
posing the deep waterwaysconvention that
the people in a greater part of the country
had an indefinite knowledge of tratlic on
the chain of lakes, but information and es-
timates on this subject have been presented
by the Chicago Tn’/mm» that cannot but
impress the people of the United States
with the necessity and the advaiit:iges of
improving the facilities for carrying on
this great trade. Judging froiii what has
been ‘done and the present prospects. it is
estimated that the lake connnerce of the
current year will aggregate J..3,ooo,ooo
tons. worth >3i;lH.oo<),ooo, an increase of
3» ooo.ooo tons in volume. and-$1oo,4roo,ooo
in value over last year. It is not only iii-
creasing in volume and value but in value
per ton of freight, the latter having grown
within two years from $1‘_‘.«‘.o to >;‘~1."».

To carry on this immense trade there is
a magnificent equipment, of docks and ves-
sels. the nuniber and capacity of the latter
being constantly iiicreased. There are now
on the lakes I-2.341 vessels of more than
300 tons each. Their aggregate burden is
1-_*._2I+.ooo tons ziiiili-143.’. of the steamers are
more than 1.00:) tons each. The fleet rep-
resents an investment of $7.3,0t)l_),t.|t)tl and
the docks of $55.19* N l,H0< L The l)eti'oit
river is the greatest maritime gateway in
the world. Last year there passed through
it 52,700 vessels with a tonnage of 32,01 90-
000. More tratlic passes through St.
Mary‘s canal than through any other ship
canal in the world. There is only one
other port in the world where there is as
much grain received as at Buffalo and no
other port that handles as much flour.

In addition to this Buffalo last year han-
led '_’,.300,0o() tons of coal and received 240,-
000,000 feet of lumber. At Duluth, the
other end of lake navigation, there is an
ore dock where 67,000 tons of ore can be
stored and where a vessel can be loaded in
half an hour. Other docks there will
carry 350,000 tons of ore and 125,000,000
feet of lumber. Bay Oity is one of the great
ports of entry and clearance, has one of

M:11n1noth clover, two plants that have
stood so lo11g the test of time, need not be
considered here, further than to say that
only an occasional feeble plant ca11 be found.
This is to be attributed inainly to the r:1va—
ges of the clover—root borer, :11ldcd to the
dry weather. Alsike clover is but little
sown and, as everyone knows, thrives o11ly
in moist seasons or in 111oist soil.

Michigan is 21 Fruit Growing State.

)Iicl1igan is one of the greatest fruit
growing states east of the Mississippi
river. Its peach reputation is known from
Cliicago to the peach belt of Maryl:1nd for
1p1alit_v a111l tl:1vor. But .\Iichigan's great-
est future is her pl11111 growi11g, which is
one of the 111ost profitable fruits grown.
The day is not far distant when pl11111 or-
cl1:1rds will be as noted in Michigan as are
peach orchards. Conditions are more fav-
orable in Michigan for pl11111 growing than
in any other state. In f:1ct itis the o11ly{st:1te
to—day east of California that c:111 grow
perfect pl11111s. New York plum growing
is o11 the decline. Her pl11111 belt in the
Hudson is invaded by the black knot and
curculio. and the two combined have al-
most wiped pl111n growing out iii the Hud-
son River v:1lley. So .\Iichigan 1m1st co111e
to the front a111l develop her pl11111 fields.

There is no fruit to sell faster in the
market than plums, or any that will bring
more profit to the grower. There is only
one plu111 to grow for commercial profit.
That is the sweet or European plum budded
to good varieties. Lombard, will however,

If susceptible northern cattle are taken
i11to the permanently infected region dur-
ing tl1e spring or suininer, care should be
take11 to keep them as free as possible from
the southern cattle ticks for thirty days,
at least, or until they had :1n attack of the
fever. The mortality fro111 this disease
a111o11g northern cattle taken south is quite
high. probably more than fifty per cent

account animals for breeding purposes are
the only ones shipped, and when they have
recovered from the fever their value is
correspondingly increased.——/Jr. A7 S.

THE GRANGE Y§ISITOR.,

Ylloirigais lllloiir.

The Dream—Ship.

When the world is fast asleep.
Along the midnight skies-

As though it were a wandering cloud-
The ghostly Dream-Ship iiies.

An angel stands at the Dream-ship's helm,
An angel stands at the prow,

And an angel stands at the Dream-Ship‘ side
With a rue wreath on her brow.

The other angels, silver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,

And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.

The dreams they fall on rich and poor.
They fall on young and old;

And some are dreams of poverty,
And some are dreams of gold.

And some are dreams that thrill with joy,
And some that melt to tears.

Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old dead years.

On rich and poor alike they fall,

Alike on young and old.

Bringing to slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.

The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,

And drooping age shall feel the grace
Of buoyant youth again.

The king shall be a beggerman—
The pauper be a king-

In that revenge or recompense
The Dream-ship dreams do bring.

so ever downward float the dreams

That are for all and me,

And there is never mortal man

can solve that mystery.

‘But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies-
As though it were a cloud astray—
The ghostly Dream-Ship tlies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with a wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.-
Eugeiw Field. in. Octohlzr Lmlics’ Houic .Iournril.

What is Freedom?

Man was not made to be a slave——
But moulded in some angel form.
‘The hand of God his freedom gave,
That he may keep it safe from harm;
This blessed birthright freely given.
Begins on earth and ends in Heaven.

He may be free though bound in chains.
Though joys depart and pleasures llee;
Who through the power of mind maintains

The thought that sets the spirit free;
The power of thought so wide unfurled——
Moves through the mind and rules the world.

"When man his freedom shall obtain,

‘Twill come with healing in its wings;
The right to labor, and retain

The blessing that his labor brings;
Toil only gives the soul to shine,

And makes rest fragrant and benign.
He is not free who will not think,

But there in rustic fetters bound,
He sports away upon the brink,

.\‘or cares to think a thouglit profound
By which his couiitrv may be biest

Or he may liiid eternal rest.

A good work is growing out of the kin-
dergarten schools. From the age of three
to seven there is no better training than
can be obtained at the kiiidcrgartcn. There
children are tauglit good bcliavior. llatiencc.
and order. and :ill a child is capable of
learning at that age. I hope the time is
not far distant when the kindergarten
school will be established in every city,
village, and rural district. There would
be some expense, but how many farmers
who pay sums of money yiarly for the
bettering of their stock? Then why hesi-
tate to expend money for iniprovcment of
their children! This early training is a
necessity. for as the twig is bent the tree
inclines. Blotliers. you can see that your
daughters attend these schools. G0 with
them yourselves at least once a week. Go
and consider the responsibility of mother-
hood. A writer says a child’s success is

DUE TO THE MOTHERS.

Mothers should awake to the realization
of the future welfare and prosperity of
their children. If they gain their moral
and intellectual strength from their mother
she should he possessed of broad and intel-
lectual views. For if the active brain and
willing hand are supplemented with a lib-
eral education. how much more easy does
her care of her family and home keeping
become! Cooking is an art she should not
fail to acquire. I care not how wealthy a
family may be, every mother should have
a good practical knowledge of all kinds of
housework, to make better wives and

mothers, wiser help-meets and counselors.

this feature of (iraiige work. I hope our
(irangc and sister (iraiigcs will not wait
till so late in the season next year. Prac-
tically I know but very little about the
Frcsli Air \\'ork, but in my weck‘s cxperi—
cncc with my three little oncs I am perfect-
ly satisfied that it is a noble work to do. It

I is a new feature in this section. yet we can—

not look upon it as an cxpcrinicnt. for it
has been quite gciicral in the soutlicrn por-
tion of the state, and in my coi'i'cspoiidciice

with our worthy sistcr. Mrs. .\I:iyo. she .

givcs inc assuraiicc that the rcsiilts are al-
wavs good. In her own words she says:

"I.IIlicy wcrc such a comfort to us. Thcy
bi'oiiglit a blcssiiig with them. In her

last letter she told iue they had their second
installiiieiit. I trust that next year we
shall find many with hearts as lai'ge as hers.
I will make a brief explanation for the
benclit of thosc who may not iindcrstand.

Through your wonian’s work conuiiittee
tlicsc children are sent at no expense t.o you
wliatcver. All you have to do is to take
them to your homes and care for them two
weeks. The quiet country, with good air,
good food, plenty of both will give. health
and sticiigtli to many little ones whose con-

stitutions have became vitiatcd by the
stilling atmosphere of the cities. And who

can tell but what some of those little ones
thus entertained may become good and
honest Grangcrs, and in turn cast their
bread upon the \V:1l.(.‘l'.s‘If It is but justice
to say that others beside (Irangcrs have
givcn hoincs for the children. The state of
Micliigaii abounds: with good people and if
they could only realize how true it is that
liuiidrcds of boys and girls in tlic large
citics have never seen the blue sky cxccpt
above the snioko bo;_ri'iiiicd walls of tone-
incnt liouscs; who have iicvci‘sccii or lllaycd
in the sliadow of the woods; who have
never run on the cool grass, so dill'ci'ciit
from the heated pavcmcnt of the city, I
proplicsy tlicrc \\‘<)lll<Ill‘l be children cnough
to supply the demand for ill(:lll. Nor arc
those that come to us thc only ones that do-
rivc ii beiiclit. YouI yoiii'scli‘cs liavc a cor»-
sciousncss of doing good. and the promise
“IIIhat with what iucasiirc yo iiiotc it shall
be llIl€‘:1Slll'()<l. to you again." Tlic kindncss
thus sliowii may and undoubtedly will lcad
those children to aspire to a noble and
lug-licr iiianliood :uid womanhood.

“For you never may know who may ialter,

()r the good that a smile may do;

And the loads you lift make a kind of shift

For your aching shoulders too.”

I would not make this appcal wholly for
cliildrcn. IIIlici'c arc uiaiiy lllUlll(.'l‘S and
young‘ ladies, working girls. who have
never had tho opportunity of a visit in the
country. Thc boon thus bestowed on those

The Poetry of Matrimony.

changing her appearance. For instance.
_voii will scldom see a Frciicli iiiarricd
woman wear her hair in the same way
longer than three or four weeks. She
knows that love feeds on tritles, on illusion,
on suggestion. Shc knows that, whcn a

I felt when he held her in his arins for the

first time. She also knows that the very
best dishes may soiiietimes become insipid
if always served with the same sauce.

She uiiderstands to a supreme degree the
poetry of inatriiiiony. I have heard men
say that matrimony kills poetry. The
foolsl There is no poetry outside of it.
And the poetry has all the more chance to
live in French matrimonial life bec-.iuse our
wedding ceremony is not. as in England,
the end of courtship, but only the begin.-

married your wife, you have to win her,
and the process is very pleasant. I have

.\Icd and (iracc stood at tlic window

The clouds drift about up thcrc until by

wind begins to bl()\v. and the clouds act
iust as our stcani did when we took the
platc to the door——all the steam changes to
drops of water, and then we hear them pat-
tering down on the roofs and all about us.

You know yourself how the rain waslics
the dusty plants and makes their leaves
and blossoins fresh and glossy again.

You know. too, how the new twigs and
little buds come out after a rain. when the
roots have had plenty of water to drink.

Think how our peas and lettuce came up
after the last rain——and thosc lovely wild
flowers that you gathered out on the hills.

How could you ever get them without
the rain!“

And when the children had had time to
think about it, they decided that they were
glad of the rain, even if they could not
have a picnic, for they could have a )ICIlIC
another day, when they would not ie so
sure of the 1'ain.—]?nu'/y 6'/m/«Z Bless in

THE APATHY OF TEJIPERAXCE PEOPLE.

Social nioveineiits have the swing of the
penduliiin. now to this extreme. now to

with i'apidit_v and tumult, and I'0L'e<llll_<_J_' in
quiet. The teiiiperaiice question in Michi-
_<_r:1n has heen 1i1i1lci'_:oing :1 period of re-

a}_ritation lias heen _<_roing_r on. Teiiiperance
people have heen divided as to the pest

tioii has not heen considered :1 live issue.
In the last two legisl:1tiii'es the utmost that
was acconiplislicd was to keep the liquor
interests at hay. That w:is all. Appar-

' ently there are .s'lf__7ll.~' of :1ii :l\\':ll\'(,'lllll;_>‘. The

liquor men li:1ve pcrfectcd :1 strong org:1iii-
zation. and tlie_v propose to ti}_rlit. unscru-

This course will tend to hreed :1 spirit of

The .~lf_"lllll(‘:llll llllll;_*' ahout these st:1tc—

forthwith procceiled in like manner to pros-
ecute her searrl: for lll('lll in the labyrin-
thine folds of ‘icr own deftly screened
pocket.

On what small twists and turns of cir-
cumstance does our whole being haiig!
Kathlet-n‘s fate hinged entirely on that
momentary delay, coupled with the equal-
ly accidental meeting at the doors. of the
academy, for while she paused and hunt-
ed, as the old man stood bowing and
scraping by the water‘s edge and consid-
ering to hii_nsclf.witIi his obscqiiimis sinilc,
that after so long a scrircli lllr fort-sticri
coul(ln’t decently iproduce in the end any
smaller coin than half a lira. Rufus Mor-
timer perceiving the cruise of their indeci-
sion stepped forward in the gondola with
his own purse open. At the very same in-
stant, too, Arnold Willoiizlihy. half forget-
ful of his altered fortiinvs :iii«:l conscious
only of the fact that the incident was dis-
composing at the second for a lady, pulled
out loose his scanty stock of available cash
and selected l'i'om it the smallest silver
coin he happened to possess, which chanced
to be a piece of 50 centcsiini. Then, while
Mortimer was hunting among his gold

to find a franc. Arnold haiiileil the money 

hastily to the cringing old bystander. The
man in the. pictui'e:sq1ie rags closed his
wrinkled brown hand on it with a satis-
fied grin, and Mortimer tried to find an-
other half franc among the folds of ‘his.
purse to repay on the spot his sailor ac-
quaintance. But Arnold answered with
such a firm air of quiet dignity, ‘-.\‘o,
thank you.
Mortimer, after a moment of inefiectiial
rem0nstrance—“But this is my gondola”
——was fain to hold his peace. and even
Mrs. Hesslegrave was constrained to ac-
quiesce in the odd young man’s whim with
a murmured, “Oh. thank you.” After

that she felt she could no longer be frig-
id—-till the next opportunity. Meanwhile,
when Kathleen suggested in her gentlest
and most enticing voice, “Why don’t. you
two step out and look at the Tintorettos
with us?” Mrs. Hesslegrave recognized
that there was nothing for it now but to
smile and look pleased and pretend she
really liked the strange young man’s so
ciety.

So they went into the Scuola di San Roc-
co together. But Rufus Mortimer, lauda-
bly anxious that his friend should expend
no more of his hard earned cash on such
unseasonable gallantries, took good care to
go on a few paces ahead and take tickets
for the whole party before Mrs. Hessle
grave and Kathleen, escorted by the un-
suspecting Arnold, had turned the corner
by the rearing red church of the .Friari.
The elder lady arrived at the marble coat-
ed front of the Scuola not a little out of
breath, for she was endowed with asthma,
and she hated to walk even the few short

you say, this is the first time _vou’ve boen

“Ycs, the very first time,” Arnold ad- l

‘, inittcd at once, with that perfect i'r;ink-
iicss which was his iuost clinriuing char-
zicteristic. “'l‘bouv_rli I‘ve lived

on all the islands that make up the town

‘ which can't be reaclieil on one's own legs f
1 from every other by soiiic circuit of bridges, :
_ without onc’s ever having to ti-list to a fer-

g ryboat or a gondola. But of course you
5 must know the tortuous twists and turns
to get round to some of them. So. out-
: side at least, I know my Venice thorough-
 ly. But inside—ah, there. if you except
5 St. Mark's and a few other cliurclu-s—
; with, of cmirse, the acadctiiy-—I hiirdly
. know it at all. Tliere are dozens of places
i you could takeme to like this that I never
‘ stepped inside yet."

Kathleen was. just going to ask, “Why?”
when the answer came of itself to her. In
‘ order to gain adiiiittance to niost of these
, interiors you have to pay :1 franc, and she
remembered now with a sudden burst of
surprise that a franc was a very apprecia-
ble sum indeed to their new acquaintance.
So she altered her phrase to, “\Vell, I’m
very glad at least we met you today and
have had the pleasure of bringing you for
the first time to San Rocco.”

And it was a treat. Arnold couldn’t
deny that. He roamed round those great
rooms in a fever of delight and gazed with
the fullness of a painter’s soul at Tintoretr
to’s masterpieces. The gorgeous brilliancy
of Titian’s “Annunciation,” the natural-
istic reality of the “Adoration of the Ma-
gi,” the beautiful penitent Magdalene be-
side the fiery cloud flakes of her twilight
landscape—he gloated over them all with
cultivated appreciation. Kathleen mar-
veled to herself howa mere common sailor
could ever have imbibed such an inthrall-
ing love for the highest art, and still more
how he could ever have learned to speak
of its inner meaning in such well chosen
phrases. It fairly took her breath away
when the young man in the jersey and
blue woolen cap stood entranced before the
fresco of the “Pool of Bethesda,” with its
grand faraway landscape, and mused to
himself aloud. as is were: “What a Careless:

“Yes. tlicy're beautiful.” Kathleen an- ‘,

used. The pain
in her head stopped. That was last Octo-
ber, 189-1, and she has never suffered with
her head since. My wife is about sixty-live ]
years old and very feeble, but these pills
greatly have benefited her in other ways.
'l'hey are a great pill. There is a heap of
.worthless medicine sold but I can conscien-
"ciously recommend these pills to anybody,l
have every faith in them, and if there is
any return of that misery in her head I am
going to use them again.”

The reporter further confirmed the story
by talking to the old lady. Her face lighted
up with a smile when we mentioned Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, and a joyous tear
sparkled in her eye as she raised her wizen-
ed hand to her head and remarked, “That
pain is all gone.” That there is virtue in
these pills is evident from the fact that
Charles Kirtz, the Montezuma druzgist, re-
parts that he sells more of them than any
pill in the house.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are an unfailing
specific forsuch diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis. St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica.
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache.
the after-effect of la grippe, palpitation of
the heart, pale and sallow complexions,
that tired feeling resulting from nervous
prostration, all diseases resulting from
yitiated humors in the blood, such as scrof-
ula, chronic erysipelas. etc. They are also
a specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppresslons, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. in men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature.

These pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company,Schenectady,
N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing
the firm’s trademark and wrapper at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are

Magazine Notes.

“The Atlanta Exposition,” by the
Hon. W. 1’. Atkinson. Governor of
Georgia, forms the opening article of‘
the October number of the North‘
American Review. The Governor is
very eloquent upon the subject of the
Great Cotton States and International
Exposition, claiming for it a supe-
riority to Chicago's World’s Fair. in
the same magazine D. Henry Smith
Williams writing of “Politics and the
Insane,” emphatically declaims against
the prevalent custom of allowing
partisan politics to enter into the
management of asylums where the
dependent insane are cared for.

A Fine Tribute.

The St. James Budget. the weekly
edition of the St. J ames’s Gazette,
London, one of the most conservative
and authoritative of English journals,
in its issue of July 27, ends its review
of English journals, in its review of
the Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dic-
tionary, as follows:

“Nothing can be more complete
than this. nothing more exhaustive.
The excellencies of this book are so be-
wildering that whatever might be said
of them there would be as much re-
maining to be said: To say that it is
perfect in form and scope is not ex-
travagance of praise, and to say that it
is the most valuable dictionary of the
English language is but to repeat the
Obvious. The Standard dictionary
should be the pride of literary Ameri-
ca, as it is the admiration of literary

never sold in bulk. They may be had ofall
druggists _

England.”
