How Many of The Old Vet erans Who Wore the Gray are Cared for by the State. Mr. Editor: It may not be un interesting to many ef your reuders to know something about the Sol diers Home. It is situated just out side the eastern limits of Raleigh aiid is the property of the State. Hero may be seen about a hund red old comrades, ranging in years from about ' sixtt to ninety years, ami in every stage of infirmity from wounds, paralysis, rheumatism, &c. Some on beds from which they never Lrope to rise, some on crutches, some With canes to support their feeble steps getting about as best they can and strangest of all, generally cheerful. The Home is composed of two pfriueipal buildings, dormitories, ftpenutendent's residence, dining room and other houses. One of the large buildings is the hospital in which the very bad cases are found. The other large building contains twenty rooms, which will accommo date just forty men, as only two are assigned to a room with a bed for each. It is provided with hot, or cold baths, and rooms and bedding are kept scrupulously clean. Then the dormitories contain about forty qT fifty men, sometimes as many as fy'ur iu a room. In these rooms 0ey have fireplaces for burning od, while the large building is heated by team, and contains a li brary and reading rooms or halls, lounges, tables and. chairs, where the men can while away the day. All who can walk go to the dining room at meal time, where they find good wholesome food iu "abundance and eat quietly without restraint. The men are allowed a free pass over the railroads after six months stay that they may visit their old homes, if they choose to do so, with out limit as to n-tnrn. The ablr men luve some 'iphi WOOD'S Garden Seeds Best for the "Sunny South,"' because they are specially grown and selected with a lull knowledge of the conditions and require ments of the South. Twenty-five years experience and practical growing of all the different vege tables enables us to know the very best, and to offer seeds that will give pleasure, satisfaction and profit to all ifho plant them. Wood's New Seed Book for 1903 (Mailed on request) is full of good tnings, and gives the most reliable information about all seeds, both for the Farm and Garden. T. W. WOOD & SONS, Seedsmen, Richmond, Va WOOD'S SEED BOOK also tells all aoont Qrasa and Clover Seeds, Seed Potatoes, and all Farm Seeds. Write for Seed ook and prices of any Farm Seeds required. duties to perform, at which none complain, and they may go into the city twico a week or elsewhere and remain all day. The superintendent, Capt. Brooks, is a christian gentleman, kind and impartial in his intercourse with the old comrades, as indulgent as a reasonable regulation will allow, while his good lady8, the matron, is here and there ever active, with true womanly tenderness, caring for the welfare of those in need. Much more I coald write concern ing the Home, but will not take up so much space of your valuable pa per. I will sav, however, that with all the pleasant conditions named, manv of tho old comrades would prefer to be in their old native nei ghborhoods, if they could support themselves; and many think with a monthly allowance of 'six or seven dollars from the Home, they could shift for themselves and enjoy their remaining days much better I pre sume. This would be less than the actual average cost as it is now.- An Inmate in Rich Square Times. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fer gus Fulls, Min u., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She hael a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possi ble, but it was quite sore and puined her very much. Her son mentioned that ho had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and sore ness, and she afiked him to buy her j a bottle of it, which he did. It puickly relieved her and enabled her lo sleep which she had not done for j several davs. The son was so much t qleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommend ed it to many others.

One day we were fairly caught by the master. 'Boys,' said he, 'you must not be idle ; you must attend closely to your books. The first one of you who sees another boy idle will pleass come and tell me.' "Ah ! I thought to myself, there is Joe Simmons, whom 1 don't like much. I'll watch him, and if 1 tee him look off his book, I'll tell the teacher." "k was not long until I saw Joo look off his book, and I went up at once to tell the master. "'Indeed!' said he, 'And how did you know he was idle?' " 'I saw him,' said I. '"You did? And were your eves on your book when you saw him?' "I was caught, and the other boys laughed, and I never watched for idle boys again." If we watch over our own conduct, and try to keep it right, ynd always do our duty, we will not have time to wmtch for faults or idleness in others. This will keep us out of mischief and make us helpful to others. Baltimore Methodist. A Most Fatal Gift, Would be the power of foreseeing event. Thin would destroy hope.

One per&on in every four has a weak heart. Unless promptly treated a weak heart will easily become a diseased heart. A little extra strain from any cause is sufficient to bring on this deadly malady, the most common cause of sudden death. Dr, Miles' Heart Cure will tone up the heart's action, enrich the blood aad improve the circulation. "My trouble bcan with catarrh and I have always supposed it caused the trouble I have experienced with my heart. I had the usual symptoms of sleeplessness, lost appetite, con stipation, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath and pain around the heart and un der left arm. My mother suffered in the same way and 1 suppose mine was an inherited tendency. At one time I was in agony. I suffered so severely and became so weak that my doctors said I could not live thirty days. At this time I had not slept over two hours a night on account of nervousness. The least exercise, such as walking about, would bring on palpitation and fluttering of the heart so severe that I would have to give up everything and rest. Nerve and Liver Pills cured me of constipation and heart symptoms disappeared under the influence of Dr. Mil es' New Heart Cure. I am in better health than I have been in twelve years and I thank Dr. Miles' Remedies for it. I think thev are the grandest remedies on earth and I am constantly recommending them to my friends."
