The Credit Man's Costly Error.
Sometimes a credit man goes all wrong
?but not often. A country merchant
came up from Indiana with a written
list of the things be wanted. He said
he was new to the business, but he
meant to have a partner who was wise.
After he had picked out goods amounting
to $8,000 he was introduced to the
credit man, and he looked so uncouth
and inefficient that the credit man
wondered how good clerks had beeu
wasting their time on him.
"What terms do you want, Mr.
?" He stopped, and the visitor
supplied the name.
"Well, down in our country we always
pay after harvest."
"But harvest is past. You don't
mean next harvest?in 1900 ? do
you ?"
"Well, that's when my people will
pay me."
"Ob, we couldn't do that. Ninety
days is the very best I could give you."
And even at that he wanted to know
a great many things about bis visitor's
prospects.
"How much if I pay all in 60
days?"
The credit man quoted the terms.
"How much is 30 ?"
A discount was mentioned.
"How much for cash ?"
"Spot cash ? Money down ?"
"Yes?currency."
It was a wild question. The credit
man knew he bad no chance to get
$8,000 out of that man, and he quoted
a beautiful discount.
"Well, receipt the bill," was the
countryman's rejoinder. And out from
the folds of a $3 suit of clothes he
dragged money enough to buy a yacht
and run it all summer.
He didn't put on much style, but
he "figures" he saved the expenses of
his Chicago trip.?Chicago Evening
Post.
Two Minds Changed. ? "There
goes a party who will be heard from,"
said Smith, pointing to a young man
who was going down the street. "He
has managed to keep his head in love
and financial matters, and they are
the two great tests.
"Two months ago he was a young
mnn with all the world before him,
and with no prospects ahead of him
except a determination to fight life's
battle.
"He was in love with a young lady
living in this city, but his financial
condition prevented him from declaring
bis passion, besides, he was not
sure that the young lady in question
cared for him.
"But by one of those curious turns
of the wheel of fortune, an old aunt
that he bad never seen died and left
him a large sum of money. Without
delay he called upon the young lady
and asked her to marry him, saying
nothing about the fortune that bad
been left him. He met with a pointblank
refusal.
"Two days later the girl heard of
his unexpected windfall, and wrote
him a note, saying : 'I have changed
my mind.'
"His answer was just as short. It
said : 'So have I.'"?Detroit Free
Press.
Tit For Tat.?A British sailor being
a witness in a murder case, was
called to the stand, and was asked by
the counsel for the crown whether he
was for the plaintiff or defendant.
"Plaintiff or defendant?" said the
sailor, scratching his head. "Why, I
don't know what you mean by plaintiff
or defendant. I come to speak for me
friend," pointing to the prisoner.
"You're a pretty fellow for a witness,"
said the counsel, "not to know
what plaintiff or defendant means."
Later in the trial the counsel asked
the sailor what part of the ship he
was in at the time of the murder.
"Abaft the binnacle, me lord," said
the sailor.
"Abaft the binnacle?" replied the
barrister. "What part of the ship is
that?"
"Ain't you a pretty feller for a
counsellor, said the sailor, grinning at
the counsel, "not to know what abaft
the binnacle is !"?The London Daily

"About three miles?"
"Reckon so."
"Well, am I in the right road?"
"Reckon you air."

HUME CURES.
For sore throat try a compress of
cold water.
For bilious colic try soda and ginger
in hot water.
For sick headache rub peppermint
oil on the temples.
Tincture of arnica is the best application
for sprains or bruises.
A hop bag wrung from hot vinegar
is a quick relief for earache.
For nervous headache bathe the
back of the neck with hot water.
For a cold in the head try snuffing
powdered borax up the nostrils.
T.imewater and sweet oil applied
immediately will take the pain from a
burn.
Snuffing tannin is one of the best
remedies for a serious case of bleeding
at the nose.
Jf an artery is cut tie a small cord
or a bandkerchief tightly between it
and the heart.
To cure ivy poisoning, when sugar
of lead cannot be obtained, apply
wood ash lye, then wash off with
warm water and rub with vaseline.
For neuralgia try wet cloths of alcohol
and water, or paregoric, or
laudanum and water, laid on a hotwater
bottle, and the part steamed
over it.
For breaking up a cold take two
drops each of camphor and laudanum
on a lump of sugar, or 12 drops of
camphor in 12 teaspoonfuls of water,
taken by the teaspoonful every half
hour.
An excellent remedy that the Germans
use for curing a cold is the yoke
of an egg beaten in a pint of water, a
little butter, three lumps of sugar and
a teaspoonful of whisky. When it
begins to boil pour it back and forth
from one saucepan to another until
smooth and frothy; allow it to cool,
then take a teaspoonful every half
hour.
Best Results From Green Manuring.?The
plowing under of a green
growth of any kind adds humus to the
soil and helps materially to maKe n
more friable and easier worked. This,
at least, is one advantage. Then a
plant just attained full growth and in
full bloom, if turned under, adds more
or less plant food to the soil as it decays.
Of the different kinds of plants
usually turned under as a fertilizer,
clover stands at the head. One reason
for this is that the plant when in full
bloom, contains a considerable amount
of plant food, a valuable, or rather essential,
element of plant growth. It is,
however, becoming a question whether
it is not best to allow a growth
made during the summer and fall to
die down and mulch the Boil during
the winter, rather than to plow under
the latter part of summer and fall, and
then allow the ground to remain bare
through the winter. Certain it is that
the plants, when in full bloom, contain
a larger per cent, of fertilizing
elements than at any other stage.
But some soils are damaged if plowed
and left bare all through the winter.
This is especially the case with a light
sandy loam.
One of the best plans of rotation is
to follow -clover with wheat, plowing
under the second crop as soon as a
growth is secured?the nearest full
bloom?and where wheat is grown this
plan can in nearly all cases be followed
with good results.
Another good plan is to follow clover
with corn, and when this iB done, and
especially with a loamy soil, many prefer
to allow the clover to mature and
mulch the soil during the winter, turning
under reasonably early in the
onrinor
-r &
It is always best to use a chain or
drag on the plow in either case, in order
to turn the growth completely under.
With a green growth it can be
made to decay faster if a dressing of
lime is scattered over it just before
plowing under. While it is not desirable
to permit a growth of weeds simply
to get to plow it under, yet where
the growth is made it is an item to
make the most out of it.
The Bottle For Baby.?These
are dangerous days for the bottle-fed
baby, unless the greatest care is exercised
in the cleansing of his bottles.
Even the most carefully prepared food
may be poisoned if carelessuess is permitted
in the washing of baby's utensils.
Very few people know how to
wash a bottle clean. "I don't call a
bottle clean," says Mrs. Bolton in her
new book, "Baby," "unless it shines
like new glass. It cannot be made
clean enough for baby's use with hot
water and soap, and especially if one
of the 'waspy' things usually sold for
a bottle brush is used. The bottle
brush must have good bristles and a
strong handle. After all the milk has
been rinsed from the bottle that can
be with cold water, then put in some
powdered borax, aud with the strong
brush it can be made to shine. Now
place the bottle in cold water to completely
cover it, and let the water heat
slowly and boil for 20 minutes. Then
let it cool enough so that you can
comfortably handle it. The day's supply
of food being ready, it can be put
immoiliatolv into t.ho hnt.f.lo nnrl liirht,.
luiiuwiiavvij " ?O ?"
ly corked with absorbent cotton.
About 10 minutes before baby's meal
time place the bottle in a pitcher of
warm water. When warm enough remove
the absorbent cotton, put on the
nipple, and it is ready for the baby.
For Asthma.?For most cases of
asthma take of the common catalpa
bean, just at maturity, a good handful.
Macerate (masb) and put in one
and one-half pints of water; let remain
just below the boiling point 30 or
40 minutes, strain and bottle for use.
Put in one-fourth good alcohol or
brandy; mix two ounces with two
ounces of granulated sugar and take
one teaspoocful every hour or two.
This is especially good in cases of
asthma where the pericardium and
heart are involved.
Keeping Beans.?I keep my seed
beans aud also those for family use in
bags containing not over one-half
bushel each, and in each bag I put a
small woolen cloth saturated with carbolic
acid. This is placed near the
middle and will effectually prevent the
beans being injured by the weevil or
insects of any kind. They will keep
perfectly.?F. Aiken.

STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.
Recruiting will probably be contined
until the army reaches the au<
horized strength of 100,000 men.
ibout 60,000 regulars have been ensted,
leaving room for 5,000 more,
'he 10 volunteer regiments, with a
Dial of 13,090 men, are practically
all, General Otis is organizing in the
'hilippines two regiments of infantry
nd one of cavalry, with a total of
,865 men, one-half of whom will be
btained from the volunteers leaving
or home. The three regiments will
e filled with recruits from the United
Itates. We have still over 12,000
egulars in Cuba, and nearly 3,000 in
'orto Rico. In Alaska is a total of
55 soldiers, and in Hawaii 483.
?hese two possessions are light charges
a a military sense. Some of the
roops in Cuba might be witbdrawu
rom the pleasaDt peaceful indications
hroughout the island ; but as the deails
of pacification are still ahead and
general election to be held at some
ime in the future, it is doubtful if the
xisting army of 12,000 will be reluced.
In the Philippines are 22,550 regusirs
and 5,072 are on the way there.
Iv the eud of the month Otis will have
total of 27,622 regulars. Iu Sau
Francisco, ready to sail, are 2,801 men,
rhich will make the aggregate 30,423.
""he three regiments organizing at Maila,
and in service now as far as reruited,
will bring the aggregate to
4,288. Ten new volunteer regiments,
vhose ranks are now full, can depart
ar Manila as soon as transports are
eady. This gives an aggregate of 48,51
fighting men who whould be in the
Philippines before the end of Noverner.

The Strawberry Bed.?If the

i'ile your hoe and go at the weeds in
he row between plants. Limit tbe
unners to four or five to the hill, or
f you want big berries, cut off and
;eep off every runner. Let no weeds
row, and manure with wood ashes,
en manure (in moderation), pig manre
or sheep manure, as close to the
ill as you dare. Remember that
trawberry plants do not root deep or
nde. The plant food you supply
lust be close and near the top. If
ou cut off all runners and depend on
be main plant to bear fruit, you will
et fine, big fruit, easily picked, and
here will be nothing to prevent clean
ulture. in lact, tne easiest way to
row strawberries is to plant tbre?
set apart each way, cut off all runers,
keep bed clean by horse power,
sake it rich and let it bear as long as
ilants are thrifty, four or five years,

PHOTOGRAPHY
IS AN1 AJIT
AND it takes an artist to be a photographer.
One who is not an artist
doesn't stand much of a chance of making
a success at photography. I have
given years of study to this especial line
and I can say with pride that my work
will compare favorab ly with that of any
photographer in this section.
The best and most perfect photographs
are the results of experience and not experiments.
I do all of my developing,
retouching and finishing, thereby obtaining
the best possible results.
As Far As Prices
Are concerned, you need not worry yourself
along that score. I know that my
prices are reasonable and you will agree
with me when I tell you what they are.
I am also prepared to develop and print
pictures taken with pocket cameras. If
you have a Kodak or Vive or any other
camera, and for any reason you can't develop
and print your pictures, bring them
to me at my gallery on West Liberty
street. J. R. SCHORB.
