Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy;
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, orV. any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on firjt in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"For a long time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be
began the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pfls, and they always relieve me In a
short time. My sister, who suffers
' the same way, has used them with
the same results.” MRS. PARK.

STARTLING PROJECT.
ENGLISHMAN WOULD DIG HOLB

__ would cost 125,000,
000, and that it would require 85 years
to accomplish it. Thi3 shaft, cut down
into the earth, would represent the
equivalent of a hole one foot deep In a
mass 666 feet thick. It would solve
many questions that the scientific knowl
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet it would Investigate only the crust
and leave thousands of miles of the in
terior mass still untouched.
The amount of compression at the
globe’s center should, to some extent at
least, define the character of the mass
of which It is formed. It is argued that
the great mass of the interior of the earth
is solid. Against the contention that
the planet, under a crest 25 miles thick,
is a mass of fiery liquid is arrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe
That density In the earth’s entirety Is
about 5.5 times the density of the water
that covers three-quarters of the sur
face.
The assumption of a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to Sir
William Thompson, that this crust
should have a rigidity possessed by no
known substance. The sun exerts such a
strain upon the substance of the earth
that the planet could not maintain its
shape as it does, he maintains, unless the
supposed crust were at least 2,000 or
2,500 miles in thickness.
There is a gradual increase in the tem
perature while penetrating the surface
of the crust. This increase in some lo
calities is as rapid as one degree for each
56 feet of descent; in others one degree
for 75 to 85 feet.
In the Comstock silver mines of Ne
vada, at a depth of 3,065 feet, water has
a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
heit. The deepest excavations in the
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop
per mines in Michigan, where the longest
perpendicular shaft goes down 4,900
feet, while one of the standing shafts
Is more than 8.000 feet in length.
There are in these mines 250 miles of
lateral galleries. Colossal engines are
required to ventilate the immense sub
terranean city and to keep the tempera
ture endurable in the lower levels. All
deep mine borings prove how stupend
ously difficult would be the task of de
scending below the mile level.
At the lowest rate of increase in the
temperature in penetrating the earth, the
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons, 12 miles down, would be 800 de
grees Fahrenheit. This heat, though far
from the fusing point of wrought iron,
(3,280 degrees), would render the use
of tools, even if the lower borings of the
shaft were constructed as they are in oil
wells, a difficult process. It would defy
the most colossal scheme of artificial re
frigeration to render such depths avail
able for entrance by human beings.
No considerations of commercial ben
efit enter into the plans of Mr. Parsons
in suggesting the 12-mile boring into the
crust of the earth. It is a scheme purely
it the interest of scientific knowledge.
ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from
Uncle After Serving Three
Years as a Soldier.
“That he shall serve at least ong full
term of not less than three years in
the ranks of the United States army,
at the expiration of which, if his dis
charge shall read: ‘Service honest and
faithful, character excellent,’and shall
nave reacnea tne grace ot a noncommis
sioned officer and bring to the executors
I herewith appoint a letter of com
mendation from the officer, under whom
he served, I bequeath to the said George
O. Travis the sum of $130,000, knowing
that, after such service, he will hq/ve
had enough experience of the world and
disciplinary training to insure the
proper disposal of what has taken me a
lifetime to accumulate.”
Such are the terms of the will of the
late S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi
cago, made to his nephew, George 0.
Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla
homa. The other day the young man
became of age and appeared at the Unit
ed States army recruiting office and en
listed for the purpose of carrying out
the dying request of his uncle.
Mr. Houston was an old soldier, hav
ing served m the civil war in the Fourth
United States artillery. Unable to con
tinue an army career. Houston, having
no sons of his own, was determined that
his next of kin, his nephew, should be
come a soldier.
Young Travis said it was not neces
sary for his uncle to make that clause
in his will which makes service In the
United States army compulsory for him,
as he had always intended to enter the
army as soon as he was 21.
A Hole with a Future.
An English engineer proposes to find
out what is in the interior of the earth.
He will do this by digging a hole 12 miles
deep, provided with air locks and cool
ing apparatus. The work will require
85 years and cost $5,000,000. What pa
tience and effort those foreigners do ex
hibit, remarks the Chicago Record-Her

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
It Par* to RaUe Them, Provided the
Crop la Dlepoaed Of In the Rlsht
W ar aad Place.
Having been asked, by a farmer sub
scriber, If it will pay to grow berries
for market. In reply I will say “yes"—
If the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of in the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get if any, are
second class—the overflow or refuse
from the cities, where the market Is
often glutted. The commission men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from the south, inducing many home i
growers to ship. By the time their ber
riss get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be sold foe
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable.
Betties that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do to ship, can
be sold la the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, also crates and boxes. Then
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It Is,a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents a

berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and glrl3 under IS years
old make a dollar a day. I, 18 year# "
ago, sold as high as |40 worth of straw- (
berries in a day. [ remember selling ,
live dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length of ten
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years I
ago, were not profitable, as so many
grew wild; but of late years, growing *
blackberries has become more profitable

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
a Simple S?atem Which WTtl Pay foi
Itself in the Coarse of a
Single Week. |
" Market gardeners, and even the mak
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need of
some wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of sun or air. A cloudy day le usually *
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and much harm be done tn
unshaded plants. Make a reel, as shown
tn the accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire -
Make the reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.
Now buy a lot of cheap cotton cloth

a yard wide, and as long as the rows of
plants over whleh It is to be used. The
cloth can be divided Into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
reel, and at the other end to a 15-inch
rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
Into the earth at one end of the row with
wire supports at intervals along the row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the lasft wire sup
port, as shown in the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep the latter from blowing off the .
wire supports below it. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no «J
longer need cover. — Orange Judd
