The flea piesses all thc piratical
instincts-thirst for blood, rapacity,
cruelty. He is, further, as ingenious
iu devising tortures as he is untiring
in the torment of his victims.
The flea ie built upon the lines that
make him hungry. But his continu
ous performance appetite is far from
being the oddest thing about him.
Proportionately to size he is the Sam
son of the universe. If the elephant
had the relative strength be could
come near to oversetting a steel-fram
ed skyscraper.
? ilea, wingless, with a body out of
all proportion io his head, and all
over less than the sixteenth of an
inch in length, will leap upon a plane
surface more than a yard. This, too,
when he has been hatched in hair, or
straw, or sand, and never known what
it was to have a full meal. . More mar
vellous still, he will spring perpendic
ularly upward from one to two feot. j
Fancy a man or boy standing flatfoot
ed and all of a sudden leaping over a
church spire.
Wonderful things have been done
with fleas. They have been put into
gold collars and set to drag about
lengths of gold chain at least 100
times their own weight. Further, an
ingenius goldsmith back in the leis
urely seventeenth century made a
coach and four iu ivory and gold, v- itli
a coachman on the box, postilion and
out-ridsrs, yet nil so tiny it was drag
ged by a pair of fleas, working in gold
collars. They worked under a bell
glass, and were exhibited in London
and Pari?.
To fight like cats and dogs is the
synonym of continuing'strife, but even
caLs and dogs do not fight so bitterly
as cat fleas and dog fleas. Oddly
enough, the oat fleas are bigger than
the dog fleas, so should bc always vic
tors. But hero as elsewhere condition
tells. If the cat fleas are lazy and
luxurious-fat they can never grow
the small, lean, keen-beaked dog fleas
kill them cut.
The combatants stand up to fight
quite like a pair of prize ring orna
ments. As they have six legs they
have pie.1 ty to stand on, and still
spare a couple with whioh to belabor
each other. Upon neutral ground, as
a floor or walk, the oat and dog fleas
keep the peace. But let one invade
litter or a coat sacred to the other,
and there is straightway a fight to a
finish. Something even more curious
than this inborn antipathy is that dog
fleas will not live upon a oat nor oat
fleas upon a dog.
Fleas lay eggs after the insect man
ner whioh hatoh out tiny wrigglers,
very nearly invisible to the naked eye,
yet capable of feeding on moisture
and microbes-at least, one judges
that to be the diet, since fleas breed
so largely in sand, hair, straw and*lit
ter where other food is lacking-and
after a while spinning themselves co
coons. The cocoons are no biggs/
than tiny grains Cf sand, but under
the microscope show as semi translu
cent ovals beautifully banded with
pink and pearl. They are formed
upon top of the matrix, whatever it
may be, where the sun or the light
can strike them fair. Bain just at
the hatching time often kills a whole
brood of sandfleas.
A flea's beak is sharp and hard,
something like & bird's only more
pointed. A flea bite is not poisonous,
save and except in rare oases where a
flea has previously been biting infect
ed tissue. Certain French scientists
have shown that both fleas and bed
bugs could thus carry tnberoular in
fection. Further, rats and rat fleas
are greatly dreaded as helping to
spread the fearful bubonic plague.

Wfcere the Drought did the Greatest
Harm
Among all of the different sections
of the country whioh have been more
or less affected by the reoent extended
period of drought no particular local
ity has sufferad more se*- ?rely, and
sustained by reason of the destruction
of growing crops, a greater financial
loss, than the eastern half of Kansas.
Especially is this true of the northern
part of this section. The northeast
ern portion of Kansas is an ideal spot
for farming purposes. One can scarce
ly conceive of a country which could
be possessed of greater natural agri
cultural advantages. Those whoso
ideas of this great agricultural State
have been formed through ae?spfcp?r
articles mistakenly imagino that the
whole State ia moro or less a broad,
level, expansive prairie. Tho north
eastern section is of the opposite-of
I a very rolling ?nd broken oharaoter.
Sloping back gradually and steadily to
the south and westward from the Mis
souri River, which cuts thc north
eastern corner, the country is diversi
fied and drained by thc many streams
tributary to the Big Muddy. Be
tween these streams lies a country un
surpassed in tho fertility of its soil
and unequaled in its production of
corn and wheat.
It is this particular section whioh
always heightens the State's average
in the percentage column in the pro
duction of bread-growing crops, it is
here that the farmers have cultivated
and harvested, within tho lust five
yoars, thc major portion of those mag
nificent crops of corn and wheat the
total market value of whioh is esti
mated by the national Sccretry of
Agriculture to have been $378,133,
347, or over $15,000,000 greater than
any other State in the American
Union.
There are perhaps twenty-five coun
ties embracod in this section. Tho
country is thickly settled and magni
ficently improved. The farmers who
thirty or even fifty years ugo set
tied and improved this country
have profited by the bounties of
generous nature, and are to-day a
wealthy class. They are well able
financially, for the most part, to stand
?he loss which the destruction of their
crops this year has entailed upon
them. But they are unused to erop
failures, and look upon the present
one as a disastrous calamity. Only
once before in half a century has tho
orop failure in this section been any
where near as general and oomplete as
the present one.
The loss this year in Kansas by rea
son of the dearth of rainfall is official
ly estimated at something over $100,
000,000, most of whioh will be horne
by the farmers of the northeastern
section.
Contrary to customary conditions,
the precipitation ibis year has been
confined to the central-western sec
tion of the State. Usually it is the
inhabitants of the western prairie
counties who experience the hard
shiys of droughts and erop failures,
but this year the situation is reversed,
and the farmers of the usually favor
ed and prosperous eastern section are
made to feel the effect of these un
fortunate conditions. .
Here the great fields which hereto
fore at this season of the year have
been covered with magnificent crops
of tasseling corn, green -pastures and
meadows, growing vegetation a.-id dot
ted with the great "stack yards" of
harvested wheat and oats, now present
to the eye of the traveler an extremely
arid and desolated appearance. The
great corn fields, thousands of acres
in extent, contain only dried, stunted
and earless stalks, rustling like cut
fodder as they are swayed by the mo
tion of tho ever-present winds. The
oats crop is a total and entire failure,
maturing and heading out at a height
of not over six inches, with no grain
in the heads.
The meadows and hay lands look
like tho arid deserts of New Mexico, a
brown, burnt carpet, covering the sur
face of the cracked and blistered earth.
Fruit of varied kinds and varieties,
in the production of which certain
localities of this section are celebrated,
are either a total or partial loss.
Vegetation cf every description
bears the withered aspect of the au
tumn season.
Wells, cisterns, springs and streams
of water havo dried up, and the far
mers have been compelled to rush their
live stook to market and dispose of it
at a sacrifice.
In many of the counties of this sec
tion not a drop of rain had fallon since
April 1 until last week, when the un
precedented period of drought was
broken by a generous downpour. Al
most four months of the torrid sum
mer season without moisture, and dur
ing the most of this time the mercury
cf the thermometer was cutting capers
abovo the century mark.
. Small'wonder that the freshness of
this garden spot should be transform
ed into the dreary desolation of thc
desert.
So thorough has been the work of
I the sun and winds that thc beautiful
farmhouses and great barns which
adorn almost every "quartcr-s?ition" j
of this splendid country seem almost >
out of place in- tho center of their
dreary surroundings.
Even tho beautiful croves of maple
and cottonwood timber which sur- (
round nearly every farmhouBo aud add
suoh beauty and variety to tho land
soapo have lost their verdant foliage,
their withered and leafless branches
bearing silent witness to tho destruc
tive work.
In many localities damaging fires
have swept over the fields and burn
ed away the last vestige of living vege
tation.
Miles and miles of fences surround
iog these fields have been burned, and
in many cases the great "stack yards"
of unthrashed wheat in the paths of
these conflagrations have been com
pletely destroyed. In some cases tho
wheat has been burned as it stood in
the shock, thus completing the final
and irremediable ruin of the last of
the farmor's crops.
Thc public roads have been filled
with dust to a depth of from six to
eight iuches, which, gathered and
blown about by thc shifting winds,
made life almost unbearable.
In the splendid wh<' .t crop alone,
which was practically matured before
the period of the actual drought com
menced, docs the farmer find reasons
for encouragement. The wheat yield
of Kansas this year is au enormous
one, and a groat amount of this vast
production will bo garnered from the
fields of the farms ot' the northeastern
section of thc State.-St. Lom's Rc
public.

finds ?tB type again
in the frail flower, which languishes when
neglected, and ia so easily destroyed. It
is a preUy simile and almost as perfect as
pretty.
AH women love flowers, and every woman
who grows them knows that their health
depends on daily care. Not alone are
water and sunshine necessary to the health
of the plant. Their leaves and roots must
be guarded from the parasites which soon
destroy the flower's beauty aud undermine
its life.
If a woman would care for herself as she
does for her plants she would preserve her
beauty and retain her strength far beyond
the period when the average wom-u Kioka
old and feels older than she looks.
THE GREAT SEORET
Of woman's preservation of her beauty
lies in the intelligent care of the womanly
health. So close is the relation between
the health of the delicate womanly organs
and the health of the whole body, that
whenever the feminine functions are de
ranged or disturbed the consequences are
felt by every nerve in the body. Severe
headache, backache, pain in the side, and
bearing-down pain? are borne with by ao
many thousands of women that ouc who is
in sound health is a rare exception. Most
women would give anything to know how
to be cured. The way is very plain. Fol
low the path made by more than a half a
million women who have been perfectly
cured of womanly ill's and weakness.
"I believe I owe my life to Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription and * Pleasant Pellets,' ? say*
Mrs. Maria O. Hr.yrel, writing from Brookland.
D.C. "Six years ago, after the birth of one of
my children, I was left in a weak, run-down con
dition. My health seemed utterly gone. I suf
fered from nervousness, female weakness and
rheumatism, and I suffered everything one could
suffer from these complaints. Life was a burden.
I doctored with three different physicians and
got no relief. I tried several patent medicines,
all with the same result. I began to get worse,
and to add to thc complications I suffered ter
ribly from constipation. I chanced to see one of
your advertisements and concluded to try the
above remedies. I commenced to take Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription nnd ' Pleasant
Pellets' and began to improve right away, and
continued improving and gaining in strength. I
cannot express the relief, it was so great. Seven
months later my little ?laughter was t>oru with
out much trouble. I feel that I would never
have been able to endure my confinement had
it not been for the help I "received from - Dr.
Pierce's medicines. My baby wns a fine, healthy
child. und the only one I have ever been able tn
nurse. She is now two years obi aud I have
never had to take any medicine since, so 1 feel
that your medicine has made a lasting cure
with me. I owe so much in thunk.. it would be
imt>ossible for me to express by word or pen
how thankful I am to God and Dr. Pierce."
MOTH i NO ?S SURER
Than the effect of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It makes weak women strong,
sick women well. It regulates the periods,
stops disagreeable drains, heals inflamma
tion and ulceration, and cures female weak
ness. It prepares the wife for motherhood,
gives her vigor and physical strength, so
that the birth hour is practically painless.
It is the best of tonics because it contains
no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. For working women in the
borne, store or schoolroom, it is an invalu
I able medicine. It ?jc'ets tbs serves, in
creases the appetite, and causes restful
and refreshing sleep. Nursing mothers
will find no tonic ro beneficial to mother
