Cultivate hope, faith, and trust They are the tonic of the mind. Realize that there is but one life in the universe, and the man cannot be separated from that Life. Be not anxious if the day pass by in which you fail to eat breakfast, dinner, or supper; but do not allow a day to pass without adding some thought to your mental store which you will be glad to incorporate into your morality. Never say that you are in poor health. There is no qualification to health. You might as well speak of poor harmony. Kstahlish equilibrium of mind, and the bodily functions will take care of themsel ves. [Everywhere] Stop thinking of the b xly. Keep it clean, and comfortably and becomingly clothed and then forget the thing in the idea which yon should endeavor to express through it —man made in the image of God. Your body should be no more to you than your house, through which you should endeavor to express the ideal home. Stop finding fault with the weather I and speaking of every change of the at-1 mo.vphere as if sickness was contained therein. Refuse to take cold. Some people speak of certain days and atoinsphere as "good for pneumonia." Stop describing your sensations. Stop saying that yon feel sick, feel tired, feel weak, feel hot, feel cold, feel anything. Cultivate thought, not sensation. Forget self in seeking to make others happy. Banish fear by ceasing to think or talk about it. Stip saying "I am afraid" of anything. New Covert Cloth Fall Overcoats. | Exchange] The census claims that there are over 16,500,000 cows in the United States, and I estimates their average production of butter at 130 pounds each. When we consider that a good many cows yield from i 350 to 400 pounds per year, we must con- I dude that there are a very 1-trge number | that yield far below 130 pounds, else the I average would not be reduced to that figure. It goes without s tring that there are hundreds of thousands of cows, probably millions, that do not pay their way. The cow owners of the country can make a few millions of dollars this winter by entering on a campaign of investi-1 gation, and killing off such cows. Every j dollar such cows bring as meat is pure ! profit; for they are worth nothing to j keep. In the carc of cow gentleness is of i I great value. A writer 011 this subject says: "The money value of quietness, gentle-1 ness and good behavior in milch cows is | well-known and appreciated by all practical dairymen as a thing of prime importance. These to a certain extent are inherited from the parents of the animal, the same as disposition to fatten, quality of Hesli, yield of milk, etc. Keen harsh tones to a nervous and timid animal are almost as dangerous as blows. Gentle treatment should commence early with the young calf, and be continued until the animal is put in the dairy. The calf should never know what is to fear man, and if never treated harshly, frightened, or teased, will almost without exception, be exempt from vicious habits. They should be brought up with the idea that man is their friend and protector. Stock that can ba approached at any time is easier to handle and in that way repays many times over the trouble it takes to raise it in this manner. The best of dairy breeders may be rendered useless if subjected to harsh treatment." I'RICES LOW HJ X rYTP"D Mens' and Boys' • U . JLiUJulj. FURNISHER, * PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA.

When the United States buys anything from a contractor an inspector is always appointed to see that the goods are what the contract calls for, and that the government gets full value. In this case the government appointed a man named Samuel Wilson, who was always called "Uncle Sam" by those who knew him. He inspected every package and cask that came from Klbert Anderson, and if he found that the contents were all right, the package or cask was marked with the letters "K. A.-U. S.." the initials of the contractor and of the United States. The man whose duty it was to do this marking was a jovial sort of fellow, and when somebody asked him what these letters meant, he said they stood for Klbert Anderson and Uncle Sam. Kverybody, including "Uncle Sam" Wilson himself, thought this was a very good joke, and by and by it got into print and before the end of the war it was known all over the country, and that is the way the United States received the name of Uncle Sam. Mr. Wilson, the original Uncle Saui, died at Troy, N. Y., in 1854, at the age of eighty-four.

[St.Louis Ulobe-Democrat.] Dan l)uden is a grocer in Clinton, he was "shot all to pieces in the war," to use the common hyperbole of the vetrans,but | he sternly refuses to apply for a pension. ! On the contrary, Mr. Duden while bearing many wounds, is proud of the fact that he does not draw a pension, as he says he is able to make a living for himself without asking the Government for assistance. This fact, however, seems to represent the independence of spirit in the man. He is liberal and brave and true. He admires a brave man, no matter on which side the latter fought during the "late unpleasantness." Well it appears that M-ijor Salmon, the ex-Confederate, and Dan Duden the Fed[ eral, are warm friends. They often goon I a fishing excursion together. Some time ago Salmon and Dndeu were returning home from a fishing trip. They had spent several days and nights in catching some fine bass, fighting mosquitoes, hearing the bullfrogs croak, and in telling war stories. Finally Duden remarked: "Major, I swear I now love an ex-Confederate as well as I do a Federal. Don't you ?" Major Salmon scratched his head for a moment, and, with a merry twinkle in his eye, replied : "Well, Dan, I certainly loye a man who has gone a-fishing with me bettar than 1 do a man who never did go a-fishing."

Dr. Maragliano's serum for pulmonary phthisis, whatever its composition may be, has been used for over a year by reputable Italian physicians with great success, according to the I-meet. Dr. De Kenzi, for twenty-nine years professor of clincial medcine in the Naples University, reports forty-four cases of cure by the serum in bis hospital cases, while in private practice, when the patients belong to better classes and are not so far advanced in the diseases when they first came to the doctor, the results are much better.
