E DANIEL BOONE'S LOG CABIN.
T is Crumbling Away in $uins at
the "Point" Near Alton, Ill.
SInthe panhandle of St. Charles Coun
ty Missouri, familiarly known as "the
directly opposite and a few
riles from Alton, Ill., there stand the
crumbling ruins of one of the most
-nteresting landmarks in this portion
of the L~nion. It is the log cabin that
was for many years th home and abid
ing place of Daniel B,oone, the great
est and most widely known of the
original Indian fighters of the land.
Late in the eighteenth century a
French colony settled at Portage des
Sioux, and the quaint little village
standing on the west shore of the Mis
sissippi, ten miles above Alton, is still
distingaished by the peculiar charac
teristics of that nationality. In 17T9
DNIEL BOONE'S LOG CABI.
Colonel Daniel Boone came to Missouri
and built his cabin in the Darst bot
tom, a few miles from Portage, and
his worth as a pioneer of civilization
was recognized by Lieutenant Govern
or Delassus, who appointed him, on
July 11, 1800. commandant of the
Femme Osage district. Aside frc,
the settlement of. the French at Port
age, and the Spaniards in Southern Cal
ifornia, the cabin of Boone was the
hrst Saxon home founded beyond the
borders of the Mississippi.
The old cabin represented in the ac
companying cut therefore antedates
the purchase of the Louisiana tract by
Thomas Jefferson, and it is cherished
by the people of that vicinity beyond
price. But of late years the relic seek
er has turned his step that way, and
the old landmark is literally being car
ried away piecemeal. Colonel Boone
died at this place in the ninetieth year
of his age, in 1522,. and was buried
near by, but by an act of the Legis
lature of Kaentucky his remains were
subsequently disinterred and laid to
their final rest underneath the monu
ment raised by that State to the mem
ory of the brave pioneer. Many of the
relatives of the famous old man stIll
inhabit and till the fertile soil of the
regions where he chose to make his
Poor Prospect.
rA pathetic thing, if one looks at it
from an indulgent point of view, is the
haste of certain young men to possess
a beard. An undergraduate at college,
who was quite innocent of any sign or
beard, grew confidential one day with
the barber who was cutting his hair.
"Don't you think I'm going to have a
pretty good beard?" the young man
asked.
"'h, well-perhaps so," said the bar
ber, seeing no reason to commit him
self.
"Well,'' the young man went on, "you
know my fathe bad a splendid beard."
"So he did," said the barber. "But do
you know, I've always noticed that you
resemble your mother more than you
do your father!"

The decision of gu'ige Showaiter in a re

the cleams of the R~oyal Company to the ex
cipsive uise of the namte "Roy~I" as a trade

protection which it assures to the mill

Whatever may be the truth or tihe
falsity of the stories that are told o
the scarcity of funds in a country- cd
itor's pocket or the scarcity of lood in
his stomach, the stories a.e alwv
told, and neither the progress of eitu
cation nor the growth and develop
ment of the press seems to h:tve ny
effect upon the crop. One of the
latest comes from Kentucky, where
the mountain editor, at least, rarei
develops into a Crcesus or an .

editor. A subscriber had re'-mber:
him very kindly, and a e..y or two
later a visitor called at his oice.
"Can I see the editor?" he inor irc a
of the grimy little 'devil" on the liigh
stool.
"No, sir," replied the youth on the
stool, "He's sick."
"What's the matter with him?"
'Dun'no," saia the boy. 'One o

flour and a bushel of pertaters i'uther

The Obedient Erg.
Some curious tricks can be perform ed
with eggs prepared in the following
way: Pierce an egg with a pin, awul
empty the contents of the she. When
the interior is quite dry, pour Into it
some fine sand until a fourth of the
shell is filled. Then seal the hole with
a drop of white wax. You can thea
place the egg on the edge of a knife '-.:
'the margin of the decanter, and it will
stay where you put it. Take care to
shake the egg well before placing it in
any of these positions, and thus bring~

you desire it to be. To make a as

Oh, make your hom bright! Bring in tlu

ow comes the threat that we are go
lug to have a steamboat that will cross
the ocean in three days. Gracious; are
we not getting across fast enough now?
The rush will soon be to go by the slow
steamers. Its the ocean voyage that
so many people like; and, then, think
of it, only three days' sail from New
York to Southampton. If they would
stop there it would be all right; but,
then, turn it around, it is only three
days from Southampton to New York.
It isn't the people who go over there
that worry me, but it is the class of peo
ple that are being sent back to us; not
the people who come of their own ac
cord, but the ones that the various gov
ernments are anxious to be rid of.
Think of dumping them here every
three days. Wish the good Lord I
could make it thirty days, or three
years. Our great extent of unoccupied
territory is our danger. England only
a few hours across the channel frcm
Europe. yet the continentals have never
been able to make much impression on
her. The agricultural portions of Eng
land have always been held by Eng
lish hands. and. somehow or other, the
continentals have never been able to get
a foothold there. But with us-in ter
ritory we have so many Engiands
therc's certain to be room for all. and
England, together with the rest of Eu
rope, sends her surplus here.-Boston

many people are praising them now-a-days,.
coule add anythinng t htohr a l

talking for en licationi about Pink Pills was
that the p-Ole of MArir awl neighborin.g

that ort published to:-iimonials concerning

Some say that the hypo+
phosphite- alone are sufficient
to prevent and cure consump
tion, if taken in time. With
out doubt they exert great
good in the beginning stages;
they improve the appetite, pro
mote digestion and tone up
the nervous.system. But they
lack the peculiar medicinal
properties, and the fat, found
in cod-liver oil. The hypo
phosphites are valuable and
the cod-liver oil is valuable.
of Cad-liver Oil, with hypo
phosphites, contlains both of
these in the most desirable
form. The oil is thoroughly
emulsified ; that is, partly di
gested. Sensitive stomachs
can bear an emulsion when
the raw oil cannot be retained.
As the hypophosphites, the
medicinal agents in the oil,
and the fat itself are each good,
why not have the benefit of
all? This combination has
stood the test of twenty years
and has never been equalled.
