[Treatment ol Wiorfftatls.
Wiadgalls reguiro the- application ol
astringents, with pressure. The fol
lowing method, would be advisable:
Make a pad of folded cotton cloth and
soak it in strong solution of alum.
Thou make a pad of leather to fit over
the gall Apply the cloth pad Wit
with the alum to the gall, lay the
leather pad upon it, and then put a
bandage over that so that pressure is
made to bear upon tho windgall The
whole should then be kept wet with
cold water. The horse should rest
meanwhile. But, although it mavpe
cured, it will probably reappear airier
awhile; it is, therefore, hardly worth
? while to treat it so long as there is no
lanwness, which is very rare with the
windgalls.
How to Slake the Garden Pay.
The garden pays well, even with
hand labor. It would pay much better
if the main burden of the cultivation
were put upon the muscles of the
horses But the saving of cost in culti
vation is only a small part of the bene
fit of the long-row arrangement. It
would lead to a much more frequent
and thorough cultivation of our garden
crops. Most farmers neglect the gar
den for the field crops. The advantage
of a frequent stirring of the surface
soil to growing crops is greatly under
estimated. It is said that it pays to
hoe cabbage every morning before
breakfast during the early part of the
season. We can testify to the great
advantage of cultivation every week.
This frequent breaking of the crust
admits of a freer circulation of the air
among the roots below, and makes the
most of the dews and rains that fall.
The manufacture of plant food goes on
. more rapidly, and to a certain extent
, cultivation is a substitute' for manure.
Another benefit of the long-row system
would be the almost certain enlarge
ment of the fruit and vegetable garden,
and a bttter supply of these fruits for
the table. This, we believe, would
have an important sanitary influence
in every household.?American Agri
culturist.
Gro.vviiiff UTorket Lambg.
In growing market lambs, says the
National Lite Stock Journal, the
feeder should remember that the
- Iamb must be sustained on the food
eaten by its dam, and she must eat
enough" for two. This consideration
shows that her food must be liberal
' and of good quality. The lamb should
? increase in weight at lea-;t one-half
pound per day if growing for market,
and this alone requires a fair ra
tion to produce, and, therefore,
the feeder must deal with ewes
suckling lambs with a liberal hand.
The ewe must produce a profitable
fleece beside growing her lamb and
keeping up her own flesh. We have
produced most satisfactory results in
feeding suckling ewes upon the follow
ing combined ration: Ten bushels of
oats, nine bushels of corn, with one
bushel of flaxseed, all ground together
in fine meal, and then mixed, at the
time of feeding, with one-half wheat
middlings. Each ewe had of this one
and ahaJf^Hmnds per day, with about
^_the sahYeweight of fine cut hay. This
z was all eaten clean. But the hay is
not necessary. Equal grain can be
made on straw, but in that case the
ewe should have two pounds of such
a ground ration on straw, and if the
straw is cut short all She better. A
good shelter is supposed in this case,
else such growth on .lambs as we have
mentioned cannot be m ade on such a
ration, nor perhaps on any ration, in
?_ cold weather. This small amount of
"?ffcBa^fed has a remarkable effect in
. in (Kliding the heating quality of corn.
It keep^ft^ bowels in a healthy, active
condition, a&d^jprevents all danger of

Feeding Value of Ennllan*^.
We have^is^fleT^ncerning the
??fC^ilig'^value of ensilage, some of
which show some confusion of mind
In regard to the subject. Bearing in
mind a few general principles will help
to a better understanding:
First?The value of food preserved
in a silo depends very greatly on what
was put in?its nature and condition.
The material used and the degree of
maturity of the crop will greatly affect
the value.
Second?Putting grass, cornstalks or
? other substance in a silo does not add
.anything to the nutriment contained
in the material. We cannot take out
what we old not put in. Cutting and
storing the green food in a silo may
make it more digestible; may anil
often does make it more palatable than
when the food is dried in the open air.
Letting the moisture dry from meadow
grass or from green cornstalks in itself,
should not make these substances less
desirable as food. In fact it does
make them less palatable. Preserving
niuch-ofihis moisture in the ensilaged
food may De a help.
Third?If fermentation goes on in
the silo to any considerable extent
there is absolute lesa of food value.
Fourth?Reason and experience
alike lead us to conclude that we can
not make ensilaged grass or cornstalks
alone fully take the place of good grain
feed. The latter should be given ia
^--connection with the former.
Fifth?Reason and experience alike
jBhow that almost any palatable, nutri
tious, succulent plant, kept in a dlo,
with reasonable exclusion of the air,
makes a palatable and fairly satisfac
tory food.?Breeder's Gazette.
Transplanting Celery.
The soil best adapted to the perfect
growth of celery is a deep, mellow,
sandy loam, rather moist in character,
but well drained. The soil, of what
ever character, should be rich and
thoroughly pulveri eJ. Land manured
the fall previous makes an excellent
bed. so does ground that has been lib
erally manured in the spring for some
early vegetable crop, as onions or
beet3. if rexewed and harrowed after
the first- crop has been harvested.
Fre.m manure is injurious to the
plants; it induces a rough growth and
renders the stalk pithy instead of I
crisp.
In the Northern States celery plants I
are set during the month of July and J
at the South a month or six weeks
later. Deep trench's have, for th? |
most part; been abandon? 1 for the less
laborious and expensive mode of fur-1
rows drawn the same as :!or beets or
mango 'ds.
Select cloudy or wet weather for
transplanting celery when possible. If
done in dry weather the plants will
require .epeated waterings and shad
ing until they are established. The
rows may ho marked off four or five
feet ap'irt and the plants separated
eight or ten inches in the row. Many
cultivators practice cutting back the
tops at transplanting to render the
plants stocky.
A mixture recommended by some of
our correspondents to incorporate with
the manure used in the furrows con
sists of salt, soot and lime. This, it is
believed, not only acts as a preventive
to worms but promotes the growth of
the plants.
There is no doubt but that the rust
on celery is caused by particles of earth
which-f?l in among the stems during
the process of hilling when there is
rain or dew on the plants. The remedy
is obvious; avoid hilling or earthing
up the plants except when they are
quite dry, and at the final occasion
neatly slant and smooth the soil so as
to throw off the moisture.
Bud nablt* In t!:c Pa::!irv Vnra.
Much of the trouble and vexation
created in the management of poultry
is caused by the fowls contracting
habits, which, when once formed, are
very hard to break. One of tho prin
cipal and most aggravating habits is
that of eating eggs.
When fowls are confined in close ]
quarters and have very little exercise
they get into the habit of scratching
the straw in their nests for want of
some other exercise. After an egg
is once broken they, of course, eat it
and in this way the habit is formed
This as well as all other habits an
formed only when the fowls are con
fined in small yards and have very
little exercise, and anything that offers
they are ready and willing to do. This
is one of their worst habits and a very
hard one to break. Much has be?n
I said on this subject; however, preven
tion is far better and easier than cure.
To avoid all this trouble the fowls
should have plenty of occupation
outside of the hen-house. Give
them corn on the cob and
let ^the.n labor a little for their
food?the mor3 the better. Another
bad habit, and one that is extremely
vexatious ? to the fancier, is that of
feathei eating. This habit is a'so
formed purely from want of something
better to do and an appetite is soon
acquired. When fowls are allowed to
run at large they gather innumerable
insects as wel as vegetable food of all
[.kinds, and if a good supply of animal
and vegetable food is not given them
when confined these habits are easily
formed. Both of these habits are ac
quired by all breeds, but the rapid
layers and non-setters are the worst,
for they possess an almost irresistible
appetite for animal food, and it is the
gratifying of this appetite that gives
us so many eggs. Another habit is
high-flying, which is formed by placing
the roosts high in the coop, and it is
for this reason principaby that low
roosts are recommended, Bemembsx
when fowls are confined they depend
entirely on their keeper for their feed,
which should be given them regularly
and in such quantities that none will
be left to spoil on the ground. -
Powls delight to scratch in loose
ground, and if a portion of their yard
is dug up at intervals it will afford
them the exercise they so much need.

Fried Bread.?Cut stale bread in
thin slices, dip in well-beaten egg3,
thicken with flour and fry in hot but

Fried Cucumbers.?The Hawkins
ville (Ga.) News says the latest, as
well as the best mode of preparing
cucumbers for the table is to fry them.
First peel and then boil them; after
hich thicken with a little flour, and
then fry them as you would squashes
or egg-plant.
Veal Cutlets. ? Cut in large
squares, dip each square in raw egg,
then in flour; season w.th salt and
pepper. Fry in butter, and when
ready to serve pour over a gravy made
of one pint of water, two tablespoon
fuls of browned flour mixed with a
little cold water, small piece of butter,
pepper and salt.
Prune Pie.?Soak the prunes in a
very little cold water all night; in the
morning pinch the stones out of them;
stew them slowly; when they are ten
der take them out of the water with a
longdiandled strainer; then strain the
water through a piece of flannel, add
sugar, and make a syrup to pour over
the prunes; bake with an upper and
under crust.
Apple Jelly.?Pare, core and
quarter two dozen large, spicy, sour
apples. Boil them in enough water to
cover them until very soft. Strain
the juice through a flannel bag made
into a cone. If the jiuce does not
drop through the small end very clear
strain a second time; To each pint of
juice put three-fourths of a pound of
white sugar. Boil the juice till quite
clear before the sugar is added. Turn
in the sugar and boil fifteen to twenty
minutes. To every pint of jelly add
the iuiCS or CUSJemon.

stone and sweet oil. Clean off the oil
and polish with chamois skin.
If your lace bedspread and pillow
covers are soiled, wash them, and,
instead of bluing them, dip them in
some very weak cold coffee, and they
will receive from it a delicate shade of
ecru, which is so popular for laces just
now. Curtains and other articles of
the kind may be treated in the same
way.
Moths can be successfully removed
from carpets in the following manner :
Wring a coarse towel out of clear
water, spread it smoothly on the
carpet, iron it dry with a good hot
iron, rtpeating the operation wherever
the moths are supposed to be. No
need to press hard, and the ply or color
of the carpet will not b3 injured, as the
moths are destroyed by the heat and
the steam.
The Ross Family's S9rrow.
On a porch overlooking a beautiful
lawn in front of a quiet-looking resi
dence on Walnut lane, Germantown,
sat three persons. An elderly-looking
gentleman, dressed in a plain business
suit, a nice-looking lady of nearly fifty
years, clad in black, whose, finely
molded features bore traces of an
inward sorrow, and a little supple lad
of some sixteen years comprised a trio
who have occupied more or less public
attention in the past nine years. They
were the parents and brother of
Charlie Boss, who nine years ago
was abducted.
The grief of Mrs. Boss has not been
assuaged by the lapse of all these years,
and, like her husband, she suffers
unto.'d anguish from the feelings of
suspense in which they are at all times
kept by the fact that they do not know
whether the boy is alive or dead.
" Were we only assured of Charlie's
death," said Mr. Boss, M it would be a
relief, for we are tortured with
thoughts of him being reared among
thieves and outcasts. If he is alive he
is surely living among vagab;-nls,
b cause those who stole him, Mo.-her
and Douglass, could not have, intrusted
him to others than footpads and
robbers. This is what causes us so
much worriment, for I would rather
liave him dead than grow to lead a
d:sh mest life. It is, ind ed, a deep
my.-t .'ry to think that nine years could
pa s without any trace of the boy
being d'scovered. His abductors were
trace;!, but never has anything turned
up concerning Charlie himself. If he
is alive my wife and I feel, somehow
or other, that we will hear of or come
across him sometime. Why we enter
tain such a belief, or how we expect
to find him, I cannot tell; but, never
theless, we feel that, if alive, he will
be restored to us some day.
" I am constantly in receipt of com
munications containing what the
writers believe to be clews. I never
fail to answer every letter thus
addressed me. and any thing that has
the faintest semblance of a clew I
always work up either personally or
by correspondence. All letters I
have carefully filed away. The num
ber of children supposed to have been
kidnapped that I hear of in a year is
simply surprising, and I presume there
are many disconsolate fathers and
mothers throughout the country who,
like us, are mourning the dis
appearance of a loved child."?Phila

Among the curiosities of ancient
credulity was the belief that certain
birds possessed stones of remarkable
talismanic virtue. One of these was
supposed to be found in the brain ot
the vulture, which gave health to the

liciting favors. Dioscorides gives an.
account of the use of an eagle stone in
detecting larceny. The alectorius, a
stone worn by the wrestler Milo, wa3
so called from being taken out of the
gizzard of a fowl. A stone like a
crystal, as large as a bean, extracted
from a cock, was considered by the
Romans to make the wearer invisible.
The Africa elephant hunters who

the sulphur mines are in high districts
and free from malaria, a few are at a
low level, where intermittent fever
prevails; in the latter districts, it
seems, while the population of the
neighboring villages is attacked by
fever in the proportion of ninety per
cent., the workingmen in the mine3
suffer much less, not more than nine or
ten per cent, being attacked.

Headache.
Dr. Haley says in the Australian
Medical Journal that, as a rule, a dull,
heavy headache situated over the
brows and accompanied by languor,
chilliness and a feeling of general dis
comfort, with distaste of food, which
sometimes approaches to nausea, can
be completely removed in about ten
minutes by a two-grain dose of iodide
of potassium dissolved in half a wine
glassful of water, this being sipped so
that th 3 whole quantity may be con
sumed in about ten minutes.

Effect of Floods.
In winter, when trees are dormant,
inundations which do not bruise, mu
tilate or tear up trees, can do but little
harm, as they will then bear a month's
immersion better than one day's when
growing. A German journal states
that the resisting power of different
plants is very unequal. Grapes, ap
ples, pears and plums, however, can
hear several days' or even weeks' Hood
ing without harm; the cherry not quite
SO well, and the currant and gooseber
ry still less. A few days under water
after the buds swell will kill lilacs, as
well as the philadelpbus and spi
raas; but elms, ash, oaks and thorns
have more resisting power. Hyacinths
perish at once; tulips and crocuses will
bear water a little longer, while daffo
dils and snowdrops are uninjured. The
late inundations in Germany appear to
have taught these facts in a very dis
tinct manner.

A New Opening for Women.
A new opening for women. Jeames

Elements of Feminine Beauty.
When it is considered how exceed
ingly arbitrary is the idea of beauty, it
will be admitted, says an exchange,
that it is impossible to give a detail of
the leading points of it that shall be
satisfactory to all. Every one then
will, in the following list, make such
alterations as his taste or fancy may
suggest:
L Youth.
2. Neither too tall nor too short.
& Neither too fat nor too lenn.
4. Symmetry and proportioa to all the
.parts.
6. Hair long, fine, curly, and silky soft.
G. Skin smooth, delicate and of fine sur
face.
7. Complexion clear, while and red.
8. A smooth, high forehead.
9. The temples prominent.
10. The eyebrows arched like two pen
ciled lines.
11. .Ths eyes bine or hazel, with orbitB
well-phaijfd, and of a sweet expression.
12. The nose rather long than short.
13. The cheeks rounding away in softened
profile, and dimpled.
14. An agreeable smile.
15. Pouting coral lip3.
1G. A small mouth.
17. Tee'.h pearly white, even and well-set.

But ladies, however wondrously
beautiful they may be, should always
remember that they are no longer

their lovers are gone.
Fashion Notes. _J,
Plaids and chessboard pattern goods
are all the rage.
Wings, crests and breasts of birds
trim many hats.
Dust gray is the fashionable color
for traveling wear.
White stoc kings are worn only by
brides and bridemaids.
Large black fichus are worn in place
of mantles with dresses.
Oriental lace sleeves are now sold all
ready to put into the dress.
Lace covers all in one piece are re

Gray is the favorite color for riding
habits with New York women.
The latest novelty in parasols is in
the shape of a five-pointed star.
Yellow stones, such as topaz and
amber, are in style for jewelry.
Topaz and amber owe their present
popularity to the prevailing fancy for
yellow.
Silk stockings are embroidered in
front with colored steel beads arid silk
chenille.
White and cream lace dresses, made
short, are the correct wear for both
day and evening entertainments at
watering places.
Anything like regularity in the
arrangement of drapery or dress orna
mentation Is now considered the
opposite of good taste.
Canvas-laced shoes, foxed jwith
yellow, blue or brown leather, are used
fcr walking in the country, and they
are the best shoe for the beach.
The most fashionable Parisians are
wearing the basket drapery on the
hips known as the Marie Antoinette
panniers, and a close narrow skirt
below.
Black, relieved with the merest daub
or touch of white in the way of lace or
flowers, remains the favorite costume
of high ceremony with New York
.women.
Ornamental pins or brooches in
fanciful designs are used to fasten the
end of the pelerine o ver th e left should er,
or to attach a bow or bouquet at the
same point.
A bride famous for her beauty d:s
carded orange blossoms and used da'sy

A pretty novelty lace pin is in the
form of a mandolin in old silver with
strings and frets of gold, and a pink
enamel ribbon attachment studded

White and black French laces woven
precisely like those that imitate Chan
tilly are the novelties for lace dresses.
They are made up over inexpensive
white or black satin surah.
Birds and feathers are preferred to
flowers this season for bonnet trimming,
but flowers never go out of fashion
and are always the most tasteful

The Dauphin ?chu is a novelty for
lighting up dark dresses. It is a deep
round collar with pointed ends in
front, made of ecru lace, in which the
design is outlined with white silk or
with gold cord. Three irregular bows
of satin ribbon fast? n the long front.
Autumn dresses are in the hands of
dressmakers, the materials employed
being very good English velveteen and
light woolen fabrics. The velveteen
forms the short, narrow plain skirt;
the woolen fabric is u<ed for the
tunic, polonaise, or the bodice with
paniers.
Large square neckerchiefs, folded in
three-cornered s.iape, are made of silk
muslin, crinkled Japanese silk, mull,
plain and dotted, and black and white

Trouble, who on the fifth day of the
October meeting at Jerome Park won
the handicap steeple-chase, carrying
157 pounds. We have Glenmore, the
gallant chestnut that achieved the un
paralleled performance of running the
four miles in the last two heats for the
Bowie stakes in the time of 7:30J and
7:31 respectively. With his easy action
and great staying powers he is a
wonderful horse; and in Spite of the
long races in which he has been
engaged, he is as sound and as fresh as
ever. In the Coney Island Cup race
he defeated Luke Blackburn, Monitor,
Parole and Uncas, winning in 3:58|.
We have every reason to expect that
in the near future other foreign vic
tories will be obtained by our sports
men. We possess some of the best
blood in the world. We have rich
pastures; we have a better climate,
at all events, than the British islands;
and we have* trainers second to none
in their art, and owners second to none
in their enterprise. The performances
of Iroquoisand Foxhall leave no longer
any room for cavil on these points.
The best trotters that flourished
about 1830 could not do a mile under
2:50, but in 1856 Flora Temple re
duced the time to 2:24?. In 1866,
Woodruffs pride, Dexter, under the
saddle, did the mile at Buffalo in 2:18,
and in" the following year in 2:17J.
Since that time Mr. Bonner's famous
Rar us, Goldsmith Maid, Lulu, and
others, have trotted their mile in 2:15
or less. But horses like-these just
mentioned are nothing to the wonder
ful trotters of to-day. Maud S., the
queen of the turf, reduce! the time, at
Rochester in 1880, to 2:10*; and in
1881, over the same course, she trotted
a mile in the unparalleled time of
2:10$. The first half of the Rochester
track is by no means good ; had it all
been equal to the last half she would
have made the distance in 2:10. As
a sustained performance, however, her
achievement at Belmont Park, Phila
delphia, in July, surpassed all previous
record. She trotted three consecutive
heats in 2:12, 2:131, 1:12*. Her
slowest heat beat Rarus's" best at
Hartford in 1878, when the record was
2:13|. 2:13J and 2:15. Maud S. has
now the glory of having achieved the
fastest heat, the fastest two consecu
tive heats, and the fastest three con
secutive heats that have ever been
seen.
If Maud S. is the" queen, St. Julien
i? the king, of the trotting turf. He
stands second to her alone with his
last year's record of 2:11?. His trainer,
Hickok, has in Santa Claus another
horse not unworthy of being matched
with the queen of the turf. As a five
year-old he got a record which is still
unbeaten, making the mile in 2:18.
The speed of our trotting horses can
not be approached by the animals of
any other country. It has been at
tained, to quote from. Hiram Wobt?
ruffs book, "by our method of breed
ing, training and driving trotting
horses, aided by the enterprise and
ingenuity which "provide vehicles,
harness and all the paraphernalia of
that combination of lightness with
strength which is modeled upon the
plan of the best trotting horse himself."

Hon. Preston-Sing's Duel.
A correspondent of the New York
/Siitn recalls Preston King's duel when
a young member of - the legislature of
the Empire State. The writer says:
He was a man of great seii38 as
well as humor, was for many years
member of Congress from St. Law
rence county, and afterward senator
from New York. His melancholy fate
by suicide from insanity while holding
the position of naval officer of this
port (by jumping into the river, with
loaded pockets, from a Hoboken ferry
boat), is still sadly remembered by
many friends and admirers.
His pungent wit in a speech in the
legislature once irritated a fellow
member, who gave the measure of his
own intellect by addressing him a for
mal challenge, from wliich resulted a
correspondence between the two, run
ning through several days. King
began by foregoing his right to hold
himself not responsible for words
spoken in debate, but presumed that
his adversary would concede to hi.n
the rights allowed by the code of honor
to the challenged party. Each one of
these conditions?time, place and
weapons?became the subject of an
interchange of notes. lie claimed
that, as he had accepted the charge of
the interests of his constituency for
that session of the legislature,
and had various bills in charge
pending which required his atten
tion, he could not consistently with
duty and honor fight before the
close ol the eession. This point being
conceded, he next claimed as reason
able, since the combat was forced on
him, that be was not bound to impose
on his friends the trouble and expense
of carrying his body home for inter
ment, in the event of a fatal issue,
?and he therefore claimed that the en
counter should take place near his own
home in St. Lawrence county, and he
named the banks of a stream called, if
I remember right, the Black river. His
antagonist accepted, and was the more
earnest in pushing the affair as Mr.
King seemed to lie somewhat less so.
There remained only the question of
the weapons. Mr. King then, under
his right as the challenged party, re
quired that lhey should stand, the one
on the one side of the stream and the
other on the other, and that the wea
pons should be broads words, lint he
added that, as Ids opponent might not
b; familiar with the broadsword exer
cise, if he should prefer pistols he was
will ng to accommodate him, though
he had never in his life fired any other
than a Fourth of .Inly pistol. He
named a certain conit al hill on the
Black river, and proposed that they
should stand back to back on the top
of it, and walk off in opposite direc
tions till they got to the bottom, and
then turn and fire. The history of this
model duel stops there. The sensa
tions of the young fire-eater from the
metropolis (1 believe) when he next
day watched the circulation of this
correspondence around the 128 seats of
the assembly call for no historical
record. _,

A CRUEL REVENGE,
How an Old Squatter I"trapped a Rail
way Conductor.
Some time ago an old squatter
boarded a railway train for the first
time, and was naturally very solicit
ous concerning the distance he had to
travel and what time he would reach
his station. The conductor was very
curt in his replies to the old fellow's
questions.
" Wall, about what hour by sun does
your contraption git thar?"
"I don't know."
f You know whar the place is, don't
your"
" I suppose so."
" Wall, can't you give me some sorter
idee about the?go on, then I" he con
tinued, as the conductor left him.
Several weeks after the conductor,
together with several railway contem
poraries, went out to the moun
tains on a fishing excursion. Losing
their way, they stopped to inquire the
road to 131ue creek. The farmer met
them at the gate and after a satisfied
shake of the head, as though a long
looked-for opportunity had come, he
invited the sportsmen to get out of the
wagon.
"We haven't got time," said the
conductor.
"We merely wanted to learn tho
nearest way to Elue creek. Can you
give us the direction ?"
" Oh, yes. I've been livin* here for
thirty year, an' have catched many a
fish outen the creek."
"Well, which way must we go?"
" Lemme see. Thar's several ways.
The finest fish ever tuck outen that
water was snatched out by my son Ike.
Wa'n't it, Ike?" turning to the boy.
" Yas, pap."
"Wa'n't he lively?"
" Yas, pap."
" Didn't he make you prance around
like a colt?"
"Yas, pap."
"Here, old man, we've got no time
to fool along with you. Which direction
shall we take?"
" Wall, the neardest way is to take
down that holler yonder, an' keep
down it till there's a high bluff on
each side. The walls of the bluff will
be kittin' closer an' closer, but arter
awhile they'll widen out. Then you'll
be right at the creek."
"At a good place?"
" The place whar Ike snatched the
whopper. Ain't it Ike?"
"Yas, pap."
" Didn't he make you prance like?"
"Drive on!" demanded the con
ductor. " We can't fool around here
any longer."
They turned down into the " holler
and the wagon ran over the rough
stones with a series of concussions
that seemed to keep the railroad men
in the air half the time. The old man
and Ike watched the wagon for a few
minutes, and then laughed boister
ously.
"Come on," said the old man; "we'll
whip arcun' an' git thar fust." And
they started over the hill at a rate of
speed suprising for so old a man to at
tain.
The wagon proceeded until precip
itous walls between the mountains
rose on each side. The pass grew nar
rower as the wagon advanced. Dark
ness came on and the great walls
frowned upon the now anxious party.
Finally the wagon hubs grazed the
rocks, and then with a shock the ve
hicle stopped.
" This beats Satan himself," said one
of tho conductors. "Here we are
stuck, and we can't get out except by
the hind gate or climbing over the
mules. Can't turn around. Blamed
if I know what we'll do."
"Say, down there," called a voice
from above.
" Hello, we're stuck," exclaimed the
squatter's conductor. "How can we
get on?"
" Dinged if I know. It's a pity, too,
for about ten miles from herei3 where
Eke caught the whopper. Ain't1 it,
Ike?"
" Yas, pap."
" Didn't he make you prance?"
" Yas, pap."
" Say, you old scoundrel," called the
squatter's conductor, " what made you
get us into such a trap ?"
"Don't reckon you recollect when I
rid on your train; I knowed I'd get
you. In this neighborhood I'm knowed
as old Pizen Pill. I came to Arkansas
'fore the sun riz, and I'm going to stay
here till arter she sets. Don't sass me.
I'll roll a rock down on you. What
time will you come to 3'our gettin' off
place, do you reckon ? You say it don't
smell satisfactory down thar. Reckon
not, fur you are in the biggest buzzard
roost you ever seed. Well, call by an'
see me when you git out. Good-night."

A Double Roof Hotel.
The Railway hotel at Yuma, Arizona,
a correspondent says, is constructed
with a double roof, a delightful feature
in hot countries, as it permits the free
circulation of the air between the two,
a great advantage for rooms in the
upper story, as they are thus protected
from the direct rays of the sun. The
space between the two roofs is filled in
with lattice work, the upper roof ex
tending out so as to form the roof for
the upper veranda as well and project
ing live or six feet even beyond that.
The verandas are also very wide, rang
ing from ten to fifteen feet, which
together with the projecting roof ke:-p
the sun from striking the side walls of
the house, which thus escape becoming
superheated. Tlrse precautions are
necessary in this land of fervid heat;
but with them a In.use may be mado
extremely comfortable.
Dentistry in the United Stales.
There are now, says the San Fran
cisco Scientific California, about 17,
000 dentists in the United States, and
they pack into the teeth ot the Ameri
can people about a ton of pure gold,
and live times that amount of less pre
cious metaU (tin, silver, platinum,
etc.). ant. u dry. Now, these metals
are worth l.<'00,000, and it will take
only about :J50 years to bury all the
coin in the United States in the grave
yards (another feature in favor of
cremation).
There are about 4,000,000 of artifi
cial teeth made in the United States
yearly, yet only one-third ot the people
avail themselv? s of this blessing.
Perfect teeth arc to be found in Ihc
mouth of only one American in eighty,

BE-DTYESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fnlly Conflrmed
by Three Important Interviews.
. An unusual article from the Rochester
. (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was pub
lished in this paper recently and has boon the
snbjeot of much conversation both in pro
fessional circles and on the street. Appar
ently it caused more commotion in Roches
ter, as the following from the same paper,
shows:
Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not
only in Eochester, but in nearly every rart
of America, seat an extended article to this
paper, a few dayB Bince, which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experienca
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. It would be impossible to enumerate
the personal inquiries which have been made
at onr office ai to the validity of the article,
but they have been so numerous that further
investigation of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view a representative of
this paper called on Dr. Henion at his resi
dence, when the following interview occur
red:
"That article of yours, doctor, has crea
ted quite a wh irlwind. Are the statement?
about the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as you can
sustain?"
"Every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as I did and then return, and I am not sur
prised ihat the public think it marvelous. It
was marvelous."
' "How in the world did you, a physio;an,
come to be brought so low?"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It
is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next: felt dull, indefi
nite pains, and my stomach was out of order,
but I did not think it meant anything se
lioup."
' " But havo these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm a hold on yon?"
" Anything? Why, they are the sure indi
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize whutails them, and I am forry to say
that too few physicians do either."
"That is a strange statement, doctor."
"But it is a true one. The medic il pro
fession havo been treating symptoms instead
of disensss for years, and it is high time it
ceased. We doctors havo been clipping off
the twigs when we should strike at tho root
The symptoms I have just mentioned or any
unusual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate tho appronch of Brfght'e
disease even more than a cough announces
the coming of consumption. We do not
treat the cough, but try to help the lungs.
We should not waste our time trying to re
lieve the headache, stomach, pains about the
body or ether symptoms, but go directly to
the kidney?, the source of most of these ail
ments."
" This, then, is what yon meant when yon
said more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it
doctor?"
"Prerisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one of
its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed mon
ster and the slightest symptoms should strike
terror to every one who has them. I can
look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at tho time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other com
mon complaints which I see now were caused
by Bright's disease."
"And did all these cvises have simple
Symptoms at first ?"
"Every one of them, and might have been
oared as I was by the timely use of the same
remedy?Warner'? Safe Cure. I am getting
my eyes thoroughly open in this matter and
think I am helping others to see the facts
and their possible danger also. Why, there
are no end of truths bearing on this subject.
If yon want to know more about it go and
see Mr. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as I, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. Ho has mado a study of
this subject nnd can give you more facts
than I can. Go, too, nnd see Dr. Lattimore,
the chemist, at the University. If you want
facts there are any quantity of them show
ing the alarming increaso of Bright's dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms,
and there is but one way by which it can be
escaped."
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
Doctor's words, the reporter bade him good
day aod called on Mr. Warner at his estab
lishment on Exchange street. At first Mr.
Warner was inclined to bo reticent, but learn
ing that the information desired was about
the alarming increase of Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly, and he spoke very
earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been 250 per cent. Look at tho
prominent men it has carried off: Everett,
Snmner, Chase, Wilson, Carpent2r, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is terri
ble, and 6hows a greater growth than thut of
nny other kno wn complaint. It should be
plain to every one that something must be
done to check this increosa or there is no
knowing where it may ond."
" Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-dny who do not realize it, Mr.
Warner?"
" Hundreds of thousands. I have a strik
ing example of this truth which has jnst
come to my notice. A prominent professor
in a New Orleans medical college was lectur
ing befpro his class on the eubject of Bright's
disease. He had various fluids under micro
scopic analysis, and was showing the stu
dents what the indications of this terrible
malady were. In order to show tho contrast
between healthy and unhealthy fluids he had
provided a vial, the contents of which were I
drawn from his own person. ' And now,
gentlemen,' ho said, 1 as wo have seen the
unhealthy indications I will show yon how it
appears in a state of perfect health.' and he
submitted his own fluid to tho usual test. As'
lie watched tho results his countenance sud
denly changed?his color and oommand both
left him, and in a trembling voice he said:
'Gentlemen, I havo made a painful dis
covery; / have Bright's disease of the kid
neys.' and in less than a year he was dead."
" You believe, then, that it hns no symp
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it?"
" It has no symptoms of its own and very !
often none at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death is tho first symptom. The slightest
indication of any kidney dith'culty should be
enough to strike terror to any one. I know
what I am talking about, for I have been
through all tho stages of kidney disease."
" You know of Dr. Honion's case?"
"Yes, I have both read and heard of it"
"It is very wonderful, is it not?"
M A very prominent case, but no more so
than a great many others that havo como to
my notice as having been cured by the samo
means."
? "You believe, then, that Bright's disease
can bo cured?"
"I know it can. I know it from tho expe
rience of hundi eds of prominent persons who
were given up to die by both thoir physicians
and friends."
"You speak of your own experience, what
was it?"
" Afearful one. I had felt languid and un
fitted for business for yeam. But I did not
know what ailod mo. When, however. I
found it was kidney difficulty, I thought
there was little hope, and so did the doctors,
lhave since learned that one of the physi
cians of this city pointed mo out to a gentle
man on tho street ono day, saying, ' there
goes a man who will be dead within a year.' I
believe his words would have proven true if I
had not fortunately secured and used the rem
edy no.v known as Warner's Safe Cure."
"AndthiscausoJ you to manufacture it?"
"No, it caused me to investigate. I went
to the principal cities, saw t.liysicians pre- j
scribing and usinj it, and I therefore de
termined, as a duty T owed humanity and tho !
sufforing, to bring . within thoir reach, and
now it is known in ovory part of Amorica, is
sold in every drugstore and h is becomo a
household necessity."
The roportor left Mr. Wnrnor, much im
pressed with the oarnestness and sincerity i
of his statements, and next paid a visit to
Dr. S. A. Lattimore, at his residotico on
Princo street. Dr. Lattimore, although
busily engaged upon some matters con
nected with the State board of health, of
which ho is one of tho analysts, courteously
answorod tho questions that were propounded
him:
"Did you niako a chemical analysis of the
case of Mr. II. ?. Warner Bonie three years
ago. doctor?"
" Yes, sir."
" What did this analysis show you?"
"Tho presence of albumen and tube casts
in grentabundauce."
"And what did tho symptoms indicate?"
"A serious di.=e;i.-ic <>f the kidneya."
"Did you think Mr. Wamor could ro
cover?"
"No, sir. I did not think it ] o siblc. It
wa3 seldom, indeed, that so pronounc.dn
case had, up to that time, over been cured."
" Do you know anything ab^ut the remedy
which curod him?"
"Yes, 1 havo chomically analyzed it and
j upon critical examination lind it entire'y
.' free from any poisonous or deleterious sab
stances."
Wo publish the foro-oing statements in
view of the commotion which the publicity
of Dr. Henion's article has caused and ti
meet tho protestations which havo been
made. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr.
Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community
is boyond qaestion and tho statements 'they
make cannot for a moment I o doubted.
They conclusively show that Bright's disease
of the kidneys is one of the mos:, deceptive
nnd dangerous of all diseases, that it is ex
cel dimdy common, alarmingly increa^inj
and that it can be cured.

Origin of Teltow Fever.
A report has been received at the
state department, at Washington, con
taining the results of observations and
experiments made by Dr. Freize, a
Brazilian physician, who believes that
he has discovered the cause of yellow
fever in a microscopic parasite found
in the blood of yellow fever patients.
Experiments made by injecting this
infected blood into the veins of rabbits
and guinea pigs proved its virulence
by producing death, the blood of the
inoculated animal showing the same
characteristics as that from the original
yellow fever victim. The doctor's ex
periments seem to prove, also, that
these parasitic germs of death survive
in the soil where the subject of the
fever is buried, and from thence may
again contaminate living organisms,
which would appear to favor cremation
rather than burial in the case of yellow
fever victims.
