(From the Covington, Kg., Pott.)
The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa, Law
rence County, Keatuckv, has for the past
two years retired from active life as Crim
inal and Circuit Ju Igo of the SlxtejntU Ju
dicial District of Kentucky.
Ue has for many years ssrrcd his nativo
county and state In the legislature at Frank
fort and at Washington, and, until his re
tirement, was a noted figure In political and
Ju lioial circle*. The Judge is well known
throughout the statenn 1 possessss the best
qualities which go to m ike a Kentucky gen
tleman honored wherever he Is known.
About six years ago the bodily troubles
which finally caused his retirement at a tlr.au
when his mental faculties were in the zenith
•f their strength, began their encroachment
upon his naturally strong constitution. A
few days ago a Kentucky Pott reporter
called upon Judge Rice, who In the follow
ing words related the history of ths causes
that led to his relirement ■ “It is just about
six years since I had an attack of rheuma
tism, slight at first, but soon developing into
Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with
acute shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to roy feet.
“My condition became so bad that I even
tually lost all power of my legs, anlthen the
liver, kidneys and bladder and, In fact, my
whole system became deranged. I tried the
treatment of many physicians, but receiving
no lusting benefit from them, I had recourse
to patent remediee, trying one kind after an
other until I believe there were none I had
not sampled.
“In 188S. attended by my son John. I went
to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not much bene
fited by some months' slay there when I re
turned home. My liver was actually dead,
and a dull, persistent pain In Us region kept
me on the rack all the time. In 1890 I was
reappointed Circuit Judge, but It was Impos
sible for me to give attention to my duties.
In 18911 went to the Silurian Springs, Wake-
shnw, Wle. I stayed there some time, but
without Improvement.
“Again I returned home, this time feeling
no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my
limbe were now reduced by atrophy to mere
strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly,
but It was the disordered condition of my
liver that was, I felt, gradually wearing ray
life sway. Doctors gave me up, all kind* *1
remedies bad been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to do but re
sign myself to fate.
"I lingered on in this condition sustained
almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1898. One day John saw an account ol Dr.
Williams' Dink Pills for Pale People in the
Kentucky l J ott. This was something new,
and as one more drug after so many others
could not do so much harm. John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. It was, I
think, in the first week in May the pills ar
rived. I remember I was not expected to
live for more than three or four days at the
time. The effect of the Pills, however, was
marvelous, and I could soon eat heartily, a
thing I had not done for years. The liver
began almost instantaneously to perform Us
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt, the pills saved my life, and,
while I do not crave notoriety, I cannot re
fuse to testify to their worth.’'
The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes, the
Louisa druggist, who Informed him that Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills have been tery popular
since Judge Rice used them with suoh bene
fit. He mentioned several who have found
telief In their use.
An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink PUls for
Pole People shows that they contain, la a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un

BOLLING MEADOW LAND,
Bolling the meadow, and some
times tho pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground in the spring,
is often done by practical farmers.
The action of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
ground becomes settled these impedi
ments are thns left in a position to
cause serious injury to the cutting ap
paratus of the mowing machine. Up
on land liable to heave by action of
frost the surface soil is left uneven,
many tufts of timothy are nearly
thrown out of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling tho field for the
more economical gathering of the
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field i» seeded to clover, or soon after,
as the action of the roller, in crash
ing lumps and mellowing the surface,
makes a good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of the clover seed.—
American Agriculturist.
SHEET AND NATUBE.
Among tho many curious things
learned at the World’s Fair was the
fact that the American Merino sheep
was destined to be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed the tendency to vary from
what was once supposed to be an es
tablished and necessary standard. In
the past these tendencies were ac
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood end veracity of the breeders.
Hero at the Fair, side by side, were
exhibited the same sheep in blood, bnt
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogatives in spite of register as
sociations, and changed the type of
tho books to suit the environments.
The fittings were complete; the pas
turage of the various regions repre
sented were exactly reflected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was well illustrate 1, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all stndents of sheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard from critical
experts a ere, “What a difference 1"
The lessons carried away to be pon
dered over at times of greater leisure
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead «f
studying nature's independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
turning this to their own advantage.
It is along these lines that the Ameri
can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests.—American
Farmer.
TO GROW THE FINEST TOMATOES.
Select a sandy loam with a southern
exposure. Put on well rotted stable
manure at the rate of teu to fifteen
loads per acre. Plow and harrow
well, so that it may be thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, or iu place
of this two or three shovelfuls of rich
compost may be added to each hill.
Sow the seed and sow only that pur
chased from reliable dealers, or saved
from tho finest, earliest specimens, in
the hot bed on tho 1st of March.
When t« o inches high transplant into
cold frames three or four inches apart.
Be sure to shade and water tho plants
until well rooted. Transplant again
when four inches high eight inches
apart. This will make fine, stocky
plants, with strong roots. Of course,
protect the cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering when necessary,
bnt manage to give light and air as
soon as possible after tho danger is
over.
By all means bo careful not to set
the plants in tho open air until all
danger from late frost is over. The
risk is too great and yon gain nothing,
as the plants are growing foster. If
properly traneplanted, tho earth made
“firm” around the stalks, they will be
retarded very little. It is better if
possible to set jnst before a rain, or,
if this cannot be done, late in tho
afternoon, so that they may have the
ooolness of the night to revive in, hat
if strong plants are well aet they will
wilt but little, and in a day or two
will look as thrifty os ever.
Bet the plants four by four feut each
way, with tho exception of tho dwarf
champion, which will boar throe by
three feet. Cultivate both ways with
a horse cultivator. Should an unex
pected frost occur after settling in tho
open ground the plants may bo saved,
unless very badly frozen, by a thor
ough sprinkling of cold water. Wc
once saved half an aero by this means;
bat it must be done before sunrise.
In tho north, where frost comes early
in tho fall, pull the vines before frost;
throw thorn in a largo pile or piles
and cover with hay or straw. Green
tomatoes, matured enough, will ripen
and repay you for tho trouble*.—New
England Homestead.
FABSNIPS.
It is said that tho Jeraey and Guern-
soy cows in their native islands ore
fed largely with parsnips, and whether
such food for many generations has
been an important element in form
ing their leading aharaoteristica oi
not, it it very evident that such food
is very consistent with tho develop
ment of the butter-making cow; and
it might bo well for suoh of our dairy
men os grow roct crops instoa.l of
ensilage to give more attention to this
vegetable. Parsnips can be grown
with less trouble than carrots, from
the fact that tho plant is larger when
it first oomes up, and is more readily
seon and dietinguishod from weeds.
After the first wooding tharo is no
more particular work to bo dono than
with any other hood crop that is well
tended. Tho soil should bo deeply
plowed and enriched and fitted os well
as for * parsnip bod in a garden, and
this can be done on a half acre iu the
field where * leant oau be used as
eas ly M a smalt pateh can be pre
pared by hand. Naturally moist soil
is no objection if it can bo made dry
enough to put the seed in early, and
when it cannot, the seeds arc some
times sown iu the fall, when tho soil
is in good condition, as the plants are
perfectly hardy. Get .good seed, and
do not sow too thickly. The great
drawback with beginners in growing
root crops is their fear of thinning oat
enough. It is one of the hardest
things for them to learn. When a man
has made np his mind that he will do
this, it is better to sow by machinery
and thin out than to attempt to get
the proper amount of seed in the
light place by hand. On rich soil the
rows should be thirty inches apart,
and the plants not less than three
inches apart in the row, and at these
distances we have had the tops form a
dense mass all over the ground. There
are two strong points in favor of pars
nips. They can be left in the ground
all winter without injury, and if dag
and put in tho cellar, where they
wither, they do not lose their taste as
tnrnips and beets do. They seem to
retain all the sugar when the water
evaporates. People who have only
grown a few in a crowded bed in the
garden have little idea how large a
parsnip will grow or how large a crop
can be grown per acre. Three inches
in diameter at the top and a foot long
should be tho average size, with good
cultivation. They arc good for any
animal that will cat them, and can be
made to take the place of potatoes to
a great extent on the family table.—
Mirror and Farmer.
BONE BOR FOWLS.
Among the necessities of the poultry
breeder is crushed bone, writes B. But
ler in the American Agriculturist.
This comes in three forms: One as a
finely-ground product, called bone
meal; one as a coarser product, the
particles being the size of a plump
grain of wheat, or a bit larger, and
called granulated bone; and one still
coarser, and sold under the term of
chicken bone or crushed bone. The
feeding values of these three forms are
very similar, though the finer the bone
the more quickly is it taken np by the
•ystem of the fowls. Bone meal is
especially suitable for feeding very
young chickens, and for use in mixing
with ground grains in mashes end
mixtures. Granulated bone is o .iy
fed by itself, and is suitable for
chickens two months old and older,
and for grown fowls. Chicken bone is
suitable only for adult fowls.
The use of bone iu some form jjs de
sirable, in order to furnish tho ma-.
terial out of which tho bony structure
is formed.. It has, of course, a greater
value for growing chicks than for those
already grown. Fe*d to the growing
stock, it almost invariably prevents
leg-weakness, an ailment that affects
chickens —especially of tho larger
breeds—which have grown to:> rapidly.
For old fowls it furnishes the material
needed for tho repair of the bony
structure. Bone also has a value as
grit. It is not the best grit to he had;
but for a short time, before the bone
begins to soften, it affords a substance
that helps fowls to grind their other
food. Bone is valuable for laying
hena. In some way the phosphate of
lime in the bone is transformed into
the carbouate of lime which forms the
shells of the eggs. Hens having plenty
of bone seldom lay eggs with shells, or
with very thin shells. At least, I
know that in my experience the hens
which have had free access to bone
have laid eggs with strong shells. I
have observed, also, that the hens
which have had hone as they required
have laid moi'e freely than those which
lacked it, so that it would appear that
hone was of valne as an egg food,
either directly furnishing some of the
constituents of the egg, or furnishing
the system with some support that en
abled tho fowls to release other con
stituents tha* egg production re
quired.
The best way to fed the bone, if
either granulated or crushed bone is
used, is to fill a small box with it, and
let the hens eat of it as they wish.
They will not over-eat if the bone is
free from meat, and no further care is
necessary than to replenish the box
from time to time. Hens do not ap
pear to be very fond of dry bone, and
when it is kept constantly before them
will eat it rather slowly. If, however,
the bone has a little meat on it, they
appear quite greedy for it. The green
bones, ground in a bone mill, contain
meat, fat and marrow in greater or
less quantities, and of this the fowls
are very fond. This is an excellent
food for hens wh in fed judiciously;
but in the feeding of it one cannot
trust the hens' appetite, hut must regu
late the quantity by his own judgment.
Given just enough, tho hens will lay
very freely, and will handsomely re
pay their owner for the cost of the
bone mill and the trouble of famish
ing the ground bone.
FABM AND OABDEN NOTES.
Limo is good for apple trees.
Plant diseases seldom start in good
■soils.
A quick growth is essential in grow
ing orisp, tender vegetables.
Trimming out well is the best remedy
for mildew with apple trees.
In growing onions it is the early
sown seed that gives tho best results.
If bes oolouies are short of stores
feed them until there is plenty of
bloom.
There is no advantage in setting
strawberry plants in ridges, except iu
low, wet land.
While it may often bo best to culti
vate an old orchard, such cultivation
should bo shallow.
Usually it is easier to plant fruit
trees than to give afterward the care
that it essential to success.
Takiug all things into consideration
there is uo other fruit s-> certain ut
giving a full crop annually aa the
strawberry.
A weed is a plant out of place, mi l
this is as much true iu the garden or
orchard as anywhere else, and whether
the plant Is a vegetable, wood or fruit
plant.
Ona advantage iu setting out trees
or plants as soon as tho condition ot
the soil will admit, is that watering is
rarely necessary, and with some
things at least this is quite an item.
SABBATH SCHOOL
INTERMATONAL LESSON FOB
MAT 13, 1898.
^ > '
I. “Now, these are tho names of the ehil-
6 run of Israel which came Into Egypt.
Every man and his household came with
Jacob." The more detailed account ot this
is found In Gen. xlvl., 8-27. and in verses 3,
4, the comforting and assuring words of
God lo Jacob concerning his going into
Egypt—the promise ot His presence and
bleesing and of their sure return to the land
of promise. It Is always safe to go where we
are sure of the presence and blessing of God.
These children oi Israel are first mentioned
by their names, with the meaning of their
names, In Gen. xxix. and xxx. The last
reference to them is In Rev. xxi., 12, where
Jhelr names seem to bo written on the
twelve gates of pearl of the New Jerusalem,
the Bride, the Lamb's wife, which Is to come
down from God out of heaven.
2,3, 4. “Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judnl*.
Issachar, Jr.ebulum and Benjamin, Dan and
Naphtali, Gal and Asher.” These eleven
came with Jacob, Joseph being already Iu
Egypt, as Id the next verse. The names
here are not in the order of birth, but in the
same order as in Gen. xxxv., 28-26, which is
there explained, the wives coming first and
then the handmaids. The many various or
ders of arrangement in which the Spirit has
written these names throughout the Scrip
tures cannot be void of significance.
5. “And all the souls that come out of ths
loins oi Jacob were seventy souls, for Joseph
was In Egypt already.” This agrees with
Gen. xlvl., 26, 27, and Dent. x. f 22. Stephen's
statement that Joseph called seventy-five to
him in Egypt (Acts vlb, 14) is no discrep
ancy. for he includes all his kindred, which
would take in Jacob’s sons’ wives, who were
not inclu led in the seventy. See Gen. xlvl.,
26. The word of God is Infallible.
6. “And Joseph died, and all his brethren,
and all that generation.” We are reminded
of the eight times repeated “And he died”o<
Gen. v. and of Heb. lx.. 27. “It is appointed
unto men onee to die." But we remembet
that two men have been excused from keep
ing this appointment. Enoch and Elijah, and
all believers alive on the earth at the coming
oi Christ will not sleep, but be changed in a
moment and caught up to meet Him iu ths
air (I Cor. xv., 51. 62 : I Thess., iv. 16-18.)
7. “And the chtldreu of Israel were fruit
ful and Increased abundantly and multiplied
and waxed exceeding mighty, and the land
was filled with them.” God had Slid to
Jacob, “Fanr not to go down into Egypt,
for I will there make of thee a great nation”
(Gen. xlvl., 3). And He had done It accord
ing to His wor.l, for “Hath He said, and
shall He not dolt? or hath He spoken, and
shall He not make it good” (Nuro. xxxlii.,
19)? When such increase Is seen in all the
earth, then shall Gen. I., 28 be obeyed, and
the Mossing of the Lord be made manifest.
Confidence in God and obedience to Hll
word will always bring showers of blessing.
8. “Now, there arose a new king over
Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” That was
not the worst of it, for his own testimony
was, “I know not Jehovah” (Ex. v., 2). iu
this he was surely guilty, for he could not
help knowing about Joseph, and the God ot
Joseph, and the great deliverance wrought
by God through Joseph for his land and peo
ple. The preseuce of these children of Israe'
in bis land was a witness on behalf of Jos
eph and his God.
9. “And ho said unto his people. Behold,
the people of the children of Israel are more
and mightier than we." This is equal to a
confession that he knew Joseph in the sense
of knowing all about him and his people, but
he was determined not to acknowledge any
obligation to Joseph or these, his people.
This is the sasse in which those who have
heard the gospel know not God. They will
not regard Him nor acknowledge their obli
gation to Him.
10. “Come on, let us deal wisely with
them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass
that when there falioth out any war they
join also unto our enemies and fight against
us and so get them up out of the land." He
in his wisdom would fight against the very
thing God had said He would do, “I will
surely bring thee up again” (Gen. xlvl., 4).
Satan's way is to go directly against Go-1, as
in the beginning, when God said, “Tnou
shall surely die,” the serpent said, “Xe shall
not surely die.”
II. “Thereloro they did not set over them
taskmasters to afflict them with their bur.
dens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure
cities. Pithom and Raamses.” This also had
been foreseen and foretold, for God had said
to Abram that in the strange land his seed
should be afflicted, but that afterward He
would bring them out with great substaucs
(Gen. xv., 13,14). It seems strange to us
that God should allow sutan to afflict His
people, but so it is. Consider Job and the
captives taken to Babvlon for their good
(Jer. xxiv., 5) aud the church at Smyrna
(Rev. 11., 10) and see I Pet. iv., 12, 13,
12. “But the more they afflicted them the
more they multiplied and grew. Aud they
were grieved because of tho children of Is
rael.” Thus the Lord laughed at man's ef
forts to frustrate His purpose. It is so with
the word of God, and with the church, and
with the individual Christian. The more

A London Drygoods Community.
At a great drygoods London houso
all the saleswomen are expected, nay,
are obliged to dress iu black. There
are two hundred, but not a “saleslady”
nor a “foreludy” among them. They
make derision of these terms, which
arc so commonly heard in New York.
The firm also employs six or seven
hundred young men.
All the unmarried employes live on
the premises, and this plan is found to
operate satisfactorily to all concerned.
Tho young men wear black coat,
waistcoat and necktie. Years ago
salesmen in London drygoods houses
were not allowed to wear a mustache,
hut there is more liberty now, and
they can wear their faces as fancy
dictates.—New York Journal.
Ban Without Steam.
A marvelous race, up grade and
down, in which momentum was the
motive power, took place on the Con
solidated road Saturday. Five miles
below Stamford the cylinder head of
the big engine, No. 247, blew out
while the tram was making express
time. Instead of stopping and getting
stalled, Engineer Scofiqld let the ma
chine have its head aud pulled in
Stamford station on time, and not
even tho conductor knew that anything
was the matter until the engineer called
for another engine, and No. 144 was
put on and pulled the train to this
city. The five miles was run without
a pound of steam and solely on the
momentum the traiu was under when
the mishap took place.—New Haven

He was William Cunningham, tho

Jluffale, N. Y. Mrs. Alien Sharrard, of
Hartncy, Selkirk Co., Manitoba, whose
portrait, with that of her little boy,
heads this article, writes as follows:
“ I take great pleasure in recommending Dr.
Piercc’a Favorite Prescription for ‘ falling of

down pains end pains in my bach whenever
I would bo on my feet any length of time. I
was recommended to try I)r. Pierce’s Favorite

bottles of it,”
As wo havo just heard from the frigid
North, wo will now introduce a letter
received from the Sunny South. The follow
ing is from Mrs. J. T. Smith, of Oakfuskee,
Cloburoo Co., Ala. Sho writes: “I was
afflicted and suffered untold pains and
misery, such as no pen can describe, for six
years. I wp.i confined to hed most of the
time. I expected the cold band of death
every day. I was afflicted with leucorrhea—
with czeessivo flowing—falling of the womb
—beej-ing down sensation—pain in tho small
of my back—my bowel? costive—smarting,
itching and burning in the vagina, also pal
pitation of tho heart. When 1 began taking
your medicine I could not sit up, only a few
minutes at a time, I was so weak. I took
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription three
times per day, I also took his ‘ Golden Medical
Discovery ’ throe times per day and one of
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets every night. I
have token seven bottles of the ‘ Discovery,’
seven bottlee of tho ‘ Prescription ’ and flv*
bottles of the ‘ Pellets.’ I took these medi
cines seven months, regularly, never missed
a day. These medicines cured ms. I feel as
well as I over did in raylifs. Four of the
best doctors in the land treated my case four
years. They all gave ms np as hopeless—
they said I could uot be cured, and could not
live. Through tho will of God, and your
medicines, I have been restored to the best
of health.” Yours truly,
Mrs. W. O. Gunekel, of No. 14C1 South
Seventh Street, Terra Haute, Indiana, writes:
“I had been suffering from womb trouble fer
eight years having doctored with tho r.ioet
skillful physicians, but finding only tempo
rary relief from medicines proscribed by
them. I was advised by a friend to take
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which I
did, and found, in taking six bottles of the
‘Prescription’ and two of tho ‘Golden
Medical Discovery,' that it has effected a
positive cure, for which words cannot ex-
s my gratitude for the relief from tho
it suffering that I so long endured.”
Yours truly,
As a powerful, Invigorating, restorative
tonic “ Favorite Prescription ” improves
digestion and nutrition thereby building up
solid, wholesome, flesh, and increasing tho
strength of the whole system. As a rootbing
