A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
Nothing appeals so strongly to ft mother's
affection as her daughter juHt budding into
womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter. Blanche, now 15 years of age, hud
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right ami. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les-
sons. <In fact, we feared St. Vitus darice, and
are positive but for uu invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affliction. We
hud employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs 100 pounds ; her nervousuess and symp-
toms of St. VitiiH dance aro entirely k'ono, sho
attends School regularly, and studies with com-
fort and ease. She hiw recovered complete us?,
of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the heulth
L»r. Miles' Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy
1 had no faith in patent medicines, and would
not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us
a bottle, we began giving it to blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. K. It
Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.

IS THE BEST.
, NO SQUEAKING.
Chicago, Sept.—News in general
this morning had a decidedly bearish
aspect and the wheat market opened
weak and lower. Commission houses
being amoug the best sellers. There
was a fair amount of activity dis-
played early but quieted down as
session advanced. Foreign and conti-
nental cables which wore somewhat
indifferent at the outset displayed a
little life later, but had no apparent
effect on market here, later depression
being too great. Primary arrivals
10,OH,000 bushels, while receipts at
Minneapolis 560 cars are twice as
large as last year. The high price
paid for cash wheat at that point yes-
terday evidently proving attractive.
New York reports a weak and narrow
market, though was a fair quantity of
bids on wheat from Europe at 1-2
under rttliug quotations on the esti-
mate of light receipts to-morrow ral-
lied 1-4 cent and closed a shade under
yesterday's close.
Corn opened 1-2 cent under yester-
day's close under realizing sales and
the bearish estimate of the price cur-
rent and closed dull and heavy near
the lowest figures of the day.
Brenham, Tex., Sept, 13.—Atwood
Violett & Co., say: JAyerpool came
in with 12,000 sales syJQts a 1-32 lower
futures unchanged thfti closed steady
1-64 lower. The New Orleans market;
opened one point lower under the
heavy receipts at Houston 7983 bales
against 1693 last year but fear of a
slow movement from rainy weather
and talk of damage by rains caused
an advance of 0 points from the low-
est, For comparison sake we give the
bureau report of Oct. 1890, the year of
8,600,000 bale crop and one can see
what September rains did then: "The
October statistical returns of the de-
partment of agriculture report a ma-
terial decline in cotton prospects a
fall in general percentage from 85.5 to
80. The largest deterioration has been
in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas
and Louisiana the fertile and produc-
tive cotton lands of the Mississippi
valley, the , cause is too much
rain, excess of moisture coupled
With lack of sunshine and reduced
temperature which delays opening
and causes immature bolls to drop
and full grown ones to rot and in-
duces sprouting of the seed; the high
expectation of the early season were
first reduced by early drought and
later more seriously by more or less
continuous rains from North Carolina
to eastern Texas. The advance today
being caused by crop damage reports
moire Weight would be attached to
these accounts from the ootmtry if
the conviction was not so deep rooted
that the crop is certain to be a very
large one in spite of all the damage
that still can happen to it. As it is
general opinion seems to take it for
granted that a 9,000,000 crop is as-
sured under all circumstances and
that with favorable weather 10,000,000
bales are not impossible.

The Engine Driver's Warning.
"By the bye," said I, "there seemfl
to be quite an epidemic of railway
ghosts, judging from the papers. No
wonder, I should think, considering
the number of men killed on the rail'
ways." "Yes,"said Hodgson, "Ihave
noticed these railway ghosts. One
quite recently was very well authen-
ticated. The story is to the effect
that an engine driver was driving his
train along a certain railroad. He
heard the voice of his father distinct-
ly waiaung him to stop. ;Heyheard
tie voice so plainly that he felt there
must be some danger ahead. Ho
stopped his engine, got out and
walked for half a mile, when he
came upon a bridge which had been
burned down. But for the warning
he would have driven right into the
river. The voice of liis father saved
him and his train. The stoker, who
was in the cabin along with the driv-
er, confirms the story as to the driv-
er stopping the engine, declaring
that he had heard the voice of his
father, and of the finding of the
burned bridge.W. T. Stead in Bor-
derland.
Rome Ides of Texas.
Texas raises 1,200,000 bales of cot-
ton, which yield nearly £50,000,000.
The cottonseed product exceeds G00,-
000 tons. The sugar plantations on
the Brazos alone produce 12,000,000
pounds of sugar and 1,200,000 gallons
of molasses. Texas has 5,000,000 sheep
and clips 25,000,000 pounds of wool.
The pecan trees bf Texas yield every
year 9,000,000 pounds of nuts.—New

A FORKED OUT STORY.
Of Fanny Kentucky Pets Kept by People
on the Fork of Forks.
They have some strange pets in
eastern Kentucky. It is nothing un-
common to find pet foxes, coons,
squirrels, owls and rabbits. But the
cheekiest pet I ever saw was on the
left hand fork of the right hand fork
of Potter's fork of the north fork of
the Kentucky river.
Judge Mulliken of Nashville and
myself were looking after coal lands
in the fall of 1889, and we stopped at
a little dilapidated log cabin for din-
ner. There was plenty of cabbage
and other vegetables growing in the
garden, and we had learned from ex-
perience to take these things into
consideration, for sometimes we
stopped at cabins where there was
no garden and found rations rather
scarce.
Everybody in the mountains re-
ceives travelers and makes them wel-
come to what he has. We were tired
and took our seats under the front
porch that had a good smooth dirt
floor and were eating some delicious j
apples, and right here let me say that j
the best tasting apples in the world j
grow in the mountains of eastern 1
Kentucky. While eating and drop-
ping the peelings around the chairs
a big, long, gaunt hog of the razor-
back brand came up and commenced
eating the peelings. I thought he
was rather familiar on such short ac-1
quaintance, as he walked over our j
feet and tried to root over our chairs,
so finally the judge got disgusted and
gave the hog a kick.
Imagine his surprise when the hog
turned and charged him, knocked
over his chair, spilled our snake med-
icine out of our saddlebags and com-
menced to do us up on short notice.
We managed to get to the fence and
leave that hog monarch of all he sur-
veyed. The lady of the house finally
came out and put him out of the
yard. She said he was a pet pig and
had been in the family so long they
could not think of killing him. I
think they called him Billy, maybe
Billy Breckinridge.
When dinner was ready, we found
that the table was nailed up around
the legs so we could not get our feet!
under it, and when we asked the reaj
son for it we were told it was done
to keep Billy and the dogs from get'
ting under there while they were eat-
ing, when they would fight and turn
the table over. That table would
have been a curiosity at the Worlds
fair. It had a little round turntable
in the middle of the big table, on
which the victuals were placed, and
it worked so nicely that when it wa3
started it went round like a merry
go round, and if you were a good
baseball catcher you could snatch
what you wanted as it sailed by.
This would be a splendid plan to
adopt when servants are scarce.
While eating the bread gave out, ajjd
our host reached over in the skillet
near by and picked out a pone of
corn bread built on the plan of a
brickbat, except thicker and hardei
on the outside, and threw it down on
that merry go round dumb waitei
