Some Egg Stories.
At the international egglayiDg
contest now in progress in an agricultural
college near Sidney, Austra
lie, three coops of American heirs j
stand first, second and fourth in a
j list in which all nations of the world
are represented.
So rapidly grew the pile of white
eggs from the three American coops
when the word v,go'' was given that
inside of a week the English, French,
German and other nationalities were
left hopelessly in the rear. So great
is the aggregate score of the industrious
American bens that the victory
is plainly theirs.?Augusta Herald.

The Cherry Tree Swindle.
The famous Amos O.ven cherry j
tree case, about which so much has j
been heard, came up agaiD iu the
United S:aie9 district court at
Caarlotte last week. It will be re- j
membered that when several con- j
victions were secured in the case, j
about one year ago, Judge Boyd gave
the defendants the option of payiDg
back the money many women had
been induced to put into the swindle
or pay fines and serve sentences in
jail. Most of the defendants have
made arrangements which are satisfactory
to the court, but Dr. Frank
Bright was not amoDg the Dumber.
He, with others, was under bond to
appear at the present term of court,
and when the case was called Judge
Boyd sentenced Dr. Bright to serve
a sentence of six months in jail and
pay a fine of $1U0 ?Fort Mill Times.

as follows: ^Your "Favorite Prescription
' is, without a doubt, tiie linest remedy
00 the market to-day, for female difficulties. I
suffered for four years with pains every period,
and I dreaded the approach of the time as I
knew it meant two or three days' misery. Tried
several different widelv - advertised remedies,
and found that they dia me 110 good whatever.
One dav a friend called, who had suffered as I
was suffering, and who told me that she had
been cured through the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
P~ ccription, so I purchased a package. I
found t ,. the real value cf your medicine was
greater even than my expectations, and the
next month I had hardly auv pains. The following
month had none at all, and found that
mv general health was much better and new
life and strength had come to me."

Wholesome Cheeriness.
There are people whose coming
into a room suggests a fresh breeze.
They have the faculty of renovating
the meDtal atmosphere by their bare
presence. Those who before seemed
sluggish and indifferent, suddenly
become gay and animated. Laughter
and pleasant talk take the place of
stiff and uncomfortable silence.
This breeziness of character which
refreshes and renews all with whom
it comes in contact, is worth cultivating.
Get so full of the wholesome
cheeriness which is to the mind what
oxygen is to the body, that you will
be able to spare part of your supply
for refreshing those about you.
