HAD AN AWFUL TIME.
But Chambarlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy
Cured Him.
It is with pleasure that I give
you this unsolicited testimonial.
About a year ago when I had a
severe case of measles I got
caught in a hard rain and the
measles settled in my stomach
and bowels. I had an awful time
and had it not been for the use of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy I could not
have possibly lived but a few
hours longer, but thanks to this
remedy I am now strong and well.
I have wrttten the above through
simple gratitude and I shall al-
ways speak a good word for this
remedy.—Sam H. Gwin, Concord,

The Dim “Lights o’ London.*’
New York city consumes nearly 1,000,-
000,000 units of electricity per annum,
.while London, with nearly double the
population, consumes not more than
one-fourth of that amount. The con-
sumption per head of population in
■New York Is stated to be 282 units
against 42 per head in London.
This striking contrast may be ac-
counted for In part by the fact that
English pities have not adopted elec-
trical lighting so extensively as have
the American and where it has been
installed are more ecopomlcal in its
use. In New York and other Ameri-
can pities many; large buildings are
kept lighted through the whole night,
even though they are practically de-
serted, while in London buildings cor-
responding in character are unlighted
after the close of the day’s activities.
The fate of that man who died from
too much reading shouldn’t encourage
anybody in the nonreading habit. It
was doubtless a sporadic case, due to
the victim’s effort to bring up the
average among his countrymen possi-
bly, but more probably an attempt to
find out Just why the “best sellers”
sell best.
? While it Is wise to avoid prosecution
of the French military men who con-
spired against Dreyfus, it is painful to
think that the picturesque name of
Colonel du Paty de Clam has vanished
from print.
Some of the fire insurance companies
are inclined to be a little backward
about taking advantage of the adver-
tisement for punctuality and reliability
Which the San Francisco disaster made
possible.
No better evidence that Japan is
fast taking up the methods of western
civilization could be offered than the
reports that she is granting rebates

Farm Seeds.

Deserting Farm Boys.
Every harvest season, when the crops
are crying for hands, the question
comes up about farm boys deserting
the land. Generally the argument is
that the farmers’ sons are unlike the
sons of other people in thut they do not
stick to their fathers’ calling. In point
of fact there are about as many farm-
ers who bring up farmers as there are
merchants and professional men who
have sons to take their places. If all
the sons of ministers took to the church
the country would he overrun with
evangelists out of a Job. Were all the
sons of merchants to go into shop-
keeping there would he stores without
custom enough to pay rent. It Is the
same with most callings, excepting per-
haps the few skilled hand trades.
A variety of reasons that seem plau-
sible are given why farm boys quit the
land these times aud run off to town.
But it is not a new phase. When agri-
culture was confined to the ocean coast
boys ran away to sea. Later came the
railroads and the big machine shops,
all of which were recruited from the
farms. Lumbering and mining deplet-
ed the farm help. More recently, with
the spread of education, it has been the
profession and the nondescript callings
of the towns. As a rule, it is not a de-
sire to shirk work that Impels boys to
desert the fields. They often tackle
harder problems.
Observers who live close to the farms
have noted two powerful Incentives for
boys to leave the plow. They want
ready money, and they want “life
Some few boys want the ready money
which comes regularly on stated pay
days just to have a good time. But the
majority are earnestly bent upon im
proving their condition. One wants
to marry, but has no farm and hopes
to earn the price quicker in some of
the great industries than on the farm.
Another has a sweetheart who looks
higher than farming. Millions and mil-
lions of railroad, lumbering and min
ing wages paid to boys reared on farms
flow back into land. This shows that
it is not wholly hatred of toll that
strips the harvest field of help, but dis-
content under the conditions prevail-
ing. Every farmer can pick out the
boys of his family and of his neighbor-
hood who will make good farmers.
These lads should he given every en
couragement to stick to the soil. A lit
tie pocket money now and then and
vacation trips to see the world will
open their eyes and make them more
contented and can’t spoil boys who
really have the making of farmers in
them.
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull boy.
The farm is the last place in the
world where dullness can get on, for
the farmer should be an all round man,
a sterling citizen and genial neighbor
as well as soil, crop and market ex-
pert.
The Pen In Defense of the Sword.
Attention was first called to wrong
done to Captain Dreyfus by a pain
phlet written by a radical journalist of
Paris attacking the evidence upon
which the accused officer was stripped
of his honors and sent into bitter exile
The eyes of a few thoughtful men were
opened by this pamphlet, and, although
the authorities managed for a time to
stifle investigation, certain secrets
damaging to the witnesses came out,
and a trio of capable pens were set to
work to arouse public opinion. Cle-
menceau, who had lived In America
entered the ranks of Journalism, and in
the columns of his paper. Dawn, Zola
fired the broadside which never ceased
reverberating until Dreyfus was
stored to his own In the army.
Editor Clemenceau pounded away at
tlie fabric of lies woven around Drey
fus’ cage with round after round of
editorials which were finally put into
book form and glvon fresh circulation.
During the campaign ministries fell,
reputations were destroyed, and some
of the conspirators destroyed their own
lives. Clemenceau wrote innocence
upon the brow of Dreyfus and also
wrote himself into a senatorshlp and
into a chair in the cabinet of France.
The whole dramatic episode of Drey-
fus’ vindication shows the marvelous
power of the pen. Other officers have
been accused, punished and afterward
proved Innocent, but not by the same
method. In this country Major Gen-
eral Fitz-John Porter, a most capable
soldier, was cashiered and after twen-
ty-one years restored to rank through
the interposition of Grant, whose eyes
were opened by a personal study of the
case. The British Admiral Cochrane
was cashiered and imprisoned for one
year and after twenty-eight years was
restored to rank in the navy by a free
pardon. Dreyfus’ case was the most
remarkable of the three in that the
basis of the original accusation was of
the flimsiest character imaginable, a
similarity in handwriting.

Woman's Handicap In England.
Woman has advanced so far in
America in enlarging her rights and
general importance that it is difficult to
understand here the vigorous, not to say
radical, methods some of the suffragists
have recently taken in England. In
the early days of Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton this coun-
try witnessed public demonstrations
little less animated than those of the
antislavery campaign just preceding it.
In the main the American suffragists
rested their cause upon appeals to jus-
tice and ,won by argument, remaining
calm under abuse.
But in England today, with the ex-
ample of America before the women,
the Impatience of the suffragists Is at
least Intelligible. Englishwomen are
not backward in culture, but the laws
are still most unfair to them, especial-
ly those relating to divorce, lunacy,
libel and slander. Englishwomen com-
plain that they are handicapped in
commercial pursuits because they have
no vote like the workingmen. They
must work harder and for less pay
than men, and they are excluded from
educational and local government bod-
ies, which look after the needs of their
sex in lodging houses, asylums, indus-
trial schools for children and the regu-
lation of the employment of children.
The old arguments of inferiority and
the “sacredness of home life” are hurl-
ed into the faces of the agitators, and
outbursts of Indignation should cause
no surprise on this side of the water.
There isn't a mother in the land,
whether she lives in a millionaire’s pal-
ace, a rancher’s cabin or the rude
shack of a miner, who will not have
a feeling of sympathy for the mother
of wayward young Thaw, who turned
her steps homeward burdened with
years and the weight of the sorrow
and shame which her youngest son
has put upon his family.
With the famous floating drydock
Dewey safely in the Philippines the
