WRITERS IN THE COUNTRY.
The Best Llternry Work Id Done by
Men Whose Homes Are
Outside the Cities.
“See for a moment how the matter of
residence affects literary people, with
whose work, naturally, I am familiar,”
writes Edward Bok, in Ladies’ Home
Journal, of “The American Man and
the Country." “Pick out the success
ful writers of the day and see where
their homes are. Scarcely in a single
instance will you find one of them liv
ing in the city. On the other hand, look
at the work done by your literary
denizen of the city and see how it suf
fers in comparison with that of the
man or woman wjjose mind rests on
God’s own handiwork. Such writers
are like pygmies compared to the men.
who with fresh inlifds look over God’s
landscape and reflect the deepest and
truest thoughts of real men and wom
en. See how an author—and this is a
constant occurrence—living in some
remote country place does a great piece
of work, and then, allured Dy raise
prophets, removes to the city and con
tinues his work there. Is his work the
same? Verily, it is not. Degeneration
takes place as soon ns he removes him
self from man’s truest surroundings.
And what is true to-day of men in lit
erary work is equally true of men in
the kindred arts. The great work of
the world is being done to-dny by men
whose lives are spent away from the
great cities.”
HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Packed In This Shnpc It Occupies
L.CAS Space and There Are
Other Advantages.
Hay as well agjcattaii is pm up nowa
days hfcec/iffinrioal bales, a standard
romgjniay bale being 18 inches in diam
and 36 inches in length. Such a
bale packed at the pressure under
which it would be put up for domestic
use would weigh about 200 pounds; as
packed for export such a bale would
contain about 275 pounds. There is
put up for array use a bale of the same
diameter, but only 18 inches in length,
which contains approximately 140
pounds of hay.
In the cylindrical bale a given quan
tity of hay is got into less than half the
space that it would occupy in a square
bale; and there are asserted for it other
advantages, including freedom from
mold, preservation of the sweetness
of the hay and greatly reduced combus
tibility.
Thousands of tons of hay in cylin
drical lpales have been shipped to the
American army in the Philippines,
and large quantities of it have been
used by the British army in South Af
rica.
LETTERS FROM PEARY.

Were Ad.tfi . - .1 to His Wife
un«l Mother.
Letters from Peary, the arctic ex
plorer. for his wife and mother, who
died recently, were received the other
day. They were accompanied by oth
ers from Dr. Dedrick, his surgeon, for
Mrs. Dedrick, and from Samuel Warm
bath, the members of the Stein party,
who is remaining for a second year at
Cape Sabine, for his wife in Malden,
Mass., and his mother, in Russian
Poland. None of the letters contains
any news; The one from Peary is dat
ed March 2, 1900, and is from Cape d’Ur
ville, Urinnell Land. It says that di
visions of his party had started for Fort
Conger. The latest’word from Peary,
dated March 31, which has already been
published, reported that the divisions
had all arrived'at Fort Conger. Accord
ing to letters received the divisions in
tended to push northward from Fort
Jonger.
Dentistry for Sheep.
A shepherd of New South Wales has
tried dentistry for sheep with great
| success. He had a valuable ram which
j found great difficulty in masticating
its food owing to the loss of teeth.
Artificial teeth were inserted which
enabled the animal to masticate its
fodder.

Among the sawmill towns and log

small libraries are circulating under
the care of Rev. Stanley E. Lathrop,
of Ashland. Often this is almost the
only good literature that reaches
these places, where most of the peo
ple are too poor to buy books. Many
more libraries could be used to ad

and back numbers of mugaines.

MISS MONIE BOWEY, I
' No. 38 Perry Street. DETR.OIT, MICHIGAN.
A couple of winters ago I
slipped on a frozen sidewalk
and fell flat on my back. On
being examined I found that
I had sustained internal inju
ries which laid me up for more
than two months. After that
I noticed that I had pains in
the back and groin which I
never had before. I doctored
and doctored for several
months but as the pains in
creased instead of growing

Wine of Cardui makes wo
men more womanly by cur
ing their weakness and mak
ing them stronger. Wine of
Cardui cured Miss Bowey.
As a medicine for all women
in every trying period of
their lives can you think of a
better medicine for yourself,
your sister, your daughter
or your mother ? Can you
think of a more acceptable
present to give your friend
better 1 decided that 1 was not having the
right treatment. Reading in the papers
of the wonderful cures performed by
Wine of Cardui I wrote to one of the
I parties and received a very satisfactory
reply and I immediately sent for some.
In a very short time I felt generally better
and after seven weeks faithful use I was
once more well and strong. I have never
had a sick hour since and I daily bless
your splendid medicine.
MONIE BOWEY.
IINE OF CARDUI is one medi
cine that should always be kept
on hand in every home for itny
- mediate use when female weak
ness first makes its appearance. Miss
Bowey’s painful and dangerous accident
would not have resulted so seriously
had she taken Wine of Cardui promptly.
tnan a Dome oi mis lueuieme wmra
will bring her health and happiness?
You are suffering ? Your duty is to
rid yourself of this pain. If your
daughter, mother, sister or friend is
sick and in need of relief, your duty is
equally gr«at to them. Many women,
now well, owe their lives to friehds
who brought them Wine of Cardui.
Wine of Cardui is adapted to wo
men at any age in < any walk of life.
For the working woman it gives her
strength for her tasks and better
treatment than a doctor for very small
cost.
Your druggist will sell you a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardui. Secure the
medicine today. Take it in the privacy
of your home. Relief wili come to you
as surely as you take it.
