i The Farmer's Wife Is very careful about her churn. She scalds It thoroughly after using, and gives it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the -butter that is made in it. The stomach is a chum. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed processes which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it? The evil of a foul stomach is not alone **-- 1 1 '??*? mmifh and tho fnnl WJU UUU Ulduo III Miu *uwU.M ? breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissemination of diseaso throughout the body.

Most people know and admire the work of the versatile William Blake, poet and artist, but few people know the story of his perfect marriage, for a perfect marriage It was Indeed. In 1780 Blake fell in love with a pretty girl called Clara Woods, but she did not care for him, and the blow was a severe one to the Impressionable young man. He left London and took up his abode at Richmond, where he lodged with a nursery gardener named Boucher. Mr. Boucher had a beautiful daughter, Catherine, and she became the confidant of the poet's love afTair, and ^ her generous sympathy so cheered Blake's mental sufferings that be gradually fell in love with the gentle girl. His affection was warmly returned, and Catherine Boucher married William Blake on Aug. 18, 1782. It was an ideal union. The young husband took a delight in teaching his wife, who was all eagerness to learn, and the modest gardener's daughter became eventually a cultured woman, who was an ardent hero worshiper of her clever husband and who cheered his life more than any one else could. Mrs. Blake learned to color her husband's drawings and was extraordinarily adept in the work. He (sententiously)?I always speak my mind. She (tartly)?I suppose that is why you have the reputation of being a man of few words.?Exchange. Kaiionai rneumuma ircaimciu The most successful physicians are now treating pneumonia by the application of counter-irritants. They are learning to resist the temptation to doctor the cough, which, after all, is only nature's effort to relieve herself, and are endeavoring to reach the seat of the congestion without the use of internal remedies. Some are using preparations about as pleasant to the patient as an application of mud or putty, but the wisest use a pleasant liquid counter-irritant. The ideal remedy is Noah's Liniment. Its carefully compounded ingredients possess wonderful powers of penetration and immediately reduce the inflammation and congestion. Noah's Liniment is absolutely harmless, and can be used freely without consultation with a physician. Apply the liniment freelv over the noiut of nnin or congestion. Saturate a hot llannel and keep it applied to that portion of the body. The effect will be almost immediate, and in many cases the threatened pneumonia will be dispelled before a physician can be secured. Best for rheumatism, sciatia, . lame back, stiff joints and muscles, sore throat, colds, strains, sprains, cuts, bruises, colic, cramps, etc. For internal and external aches and pains No ih's Liniment has no equal.

To the mind of the average farmer nothing which walks on two legs is quite so stupid as a hen. He is mistaken, though, for there still remains that beautiful, graceful nincompoop, the common swan. The swan is so stupid that it will stand in the shallow part of a pond and allow the water to freeze round Its legs till the ice is so thick that it cannot lift its feet and it Is stuck fast Not infrequently owners of these handsome but witless birds are compelled to chop away sufficient ice to make it possible for them to withdraw their imprisoned feet. The stupidity of the swan in this respect is emphasized by the intelligence exhibited by ornamental ducks when the weather turns cold. As night comes on and the water begins to freeze the ducks begin swimming in a wide, well defined circle. Round and round they go during the entire night, keeping all the water within that circle free from ice, so that when the day dawns they can float about and doze in the sun. Ducks are always most active during the night and choose the day for sleeping. But to return to the swan. If you find one of these birds some distance from the water and startle it, the swan will rush a few feet toward the pond * * * ?

The black swan usually provokes the fight, too, for it is rather a quarrelsome bird.?Washington Star. Protection of Wounde.
