Because a bird has won a prize it by no means follows that it is suitable for breeding purposes. Never feed your fowls damaged grain v* iaiuii-u iuuu, ouu imil uu" \><uu iiiv* drink is clean and good. Overfeeding is an error of which amateurs *re only too liable. It renders fowls not ouly indolent but unhealthy. A hen that once cats eggs will always do it, and should Ik> got rid of. When one breaks the eggs the others will help her eat them, and so the whole flock learn the vice. To find the culprit, leave a glass i?gn in the nest and watch for the uuu fcuui inus IU UIVUN U. Every chicken which had tlic gapes has been entirely cured by being made to inhale tobacco smoke. The treatment has done no harm, and the trouble of smoking is but little, if it is done when the chickens arc in the coop. It takes but a moment to put them into a basket, and five minutes is as long as they should be subjected to the inhalation of the smoke, and not so long if it is strong enough to produce stupor. Cultivation of Fruit Trees. The following from an exchange is worth the attention of amateur fruit growers:?"Instead of 'trimming up* trees, according to the old fashion, to make them long-legged and long-armed, trim them down, so as to make them even, snug and symmetrical. Instead of manuring heavily in a small circle at the foot of the tree, spread the manure, if needed at all, broadenst over the whole surface, especially where the ends of the roots can get it. Instead of spading a small circle about the stem, cultivate tlie whole surface broadcast. Prefer a well pulverized, clean-surface in an orchard with a moderately rich soil to a heavy manuring, and a surface covered with a hard crust and weeds and grass. Remember that it is better to set out ten trees with all the necessary care to make them live and flourish, than to set out a hundred trees and have them all die from carelessness. Remember that tobacco is a poison, and will kill insects rapidly if properly applied to them, and is one of the best druirs for freeinc fruit trees rapidly of small vermin. Finally, do not neglect to set out us many fruit trees of different varieties as you possibly can. If Korft Knt <i cmnll form nil tllf* fewer number of trees, but put out as many as you can find space for. Larger farm, more trees. Fruit evaporators are comparatively inexpensive, they are very easily operated, and properly dried fruit is always salable. If your farm is near a railroad you will be able to sell every bushel of fruit for oily consumption that you may happen to raise, and you will realize satisfactorv prices for it." &F Preserving- Salt Heat. Much of the corned beef and salt pork put up by farmers becomes tainted or , completely spoiled during the summer and fall. The injury is not caused by # using too small amount of salt. As a rule, much more salt is employed than is necessary to preserve the meat. Sometimes it contains impurities that cause the meat to contract a bad flavor. Pure salt ^ should be employed for preserving meat Eel dairy products, n costs out Hiue ore than that which is impure, and it more satisfactory in all respects. Meat icked in a barrel and covered with ine becomes tainted or spoiled in conquenceof small portions of it or some the fat or blood it contains coming to e top of the brine. The air comes in ntact with it there and decomposition kes place. The products of the demposition of animal substances always unpleasant taste and smell, and ese in jtacase of meat in a barrel arc mmumcated to the brine and from ence to the w^at. Meat packed in brine ould be cut ^'n pieces with a very sharp life. This will leave the edges smooth, fter it has b?en for a few days in the ine the latter should be poured off and iled. The boiluijr will cause all the ipurities to rise to the surface while the ood will be coagulated. These subinces should then be skimmed oil, and len the brine is cold it can be returned fKa Korrr?l Tf rlnnc nnt r>nn. tinuepure, the operation of boiling should j* be repeated. Special pains should be f :' taken to keep the meat under the brine at all times. A perforated top or false cover, or a frame-work, sho ild be rested on the meat and be weighted down by a L clean stone. If these precautions are employed, the liability of spoiling will be very slight.?Iowa Jlomexteml. Protecting manure*. There is some difference of opinion as to protecting manures against rain, wind ana the exhausting effects of the sun. Doubtless all these have an injurious influence upon the manure heap, and it is _ certainly true that without any moisture at all from rain, it will not be improved. I However this may be, we are very cert lin that unlimited exposure to the weather will prove highly injurious to the quality of the manure. A leading farmer told us some time a?p that he regarded the complete exposure of the manure heap through the winter and until it can be used in the spring, to damage it fifty per cent. In other words, one load of wellprotected manure is worth two of the exposed. This seems almost incredible, but it may not be far from the truth. There is no question that a subject ST which so vitally concerns the farmer as this one of manure, and causes him to ^ so much attention to it, possesses 1 * nerit. His straw is not to be sold "* is to be converted into manure. 1 through the winter for the ? of accumulating manure, ely pay to send to the hauled there in ">Mcrht back >le oJ SKe x-' M - - * - % o tne upimon oi uui .ant. .The trouble is. .j Relieve ihat exposed ma.^oes this serious loss, llenct ^,__^triging farm buildings?and wt nt?n mnnv that are so arranged?it will ' pay well to look almost as much to the preservation of the manure as of the hay i or grass; and those whose buildingshavc no provision for this purpose, cannot spend twenty-live to fifty dollars better than in putting up a shed under which the manure heap may be protected against these adverse influences.?Gcrtwin town Telegraph. Feeding Cattle. $?-' 'it has been claimed that the methods of b.^eding and feeding cattle have been so much improved of late years that the rvoi-inrl /"if miifllritv }l!l? l?Prn llflstPM'd I more than one-half. That is, a sheep or a pig which matured at three years or a eteer which was ready for slaughter ta five years formerly is now ready for the butcher at less than half these ages. Pi^s are said to be ready for pork at nine months, wethers foi mutton at twenty months, and a two-year old steer is ready for the block at that age. It is to be feared that these claims arc greater than p/' can be justly allowed. No doubt some animals by excessive forcing are made as fat and reach as heavy a weight at these premature ages as others used to do in twice the time, but it is a question if this forcing is profitable either to the feeder or the consumer. On the one hand, an animal is forced to consume as r much food in two years as was formerly apt'ttU uvci 1UUI >Veilau IIKU uu lilt; whole there is no gain but in time, while < on the other hand the consumer has very immature or half-grown meat, which ; is devoid of flavor and nutritive quality, and the meat is overloaded with fat, which is a waste. Physiologically it is a matter of doubt if the muscular growth s- of an animal can really be hastened by any process of feeding. Fat can be prof. duced, no doubt, but fat is a diseased condition of the svstr.m. and an excos rively fat animal would soon die under fp? continued feeding. But if we examine the meat of one of these young overr grown animals it is found to 1 e in ve-v i\. great disproportion to the fat. It is quite common, for instance, for the nine ;/ months old pigs which weigh WO pounds to be turned wholly into the lard kettle . because the few pounds of fle-h under the fat is not salable or useful as fooJ. Ev - On the whole, it certainly does appear EBSfeja if we had carried the forcing system cfc,feeding to an unprofitable extreme. Every year the losses of swine by disorders clearly traceable to over-feeding fe^l'-T-'inorease in number, and although we are gg&g&ld that the dreaded diseases have been overc<5me and have disappeared, yet the pTl ; feeding season no sooner begins again p when the hog cholera breaks out as plen:?; tifully as at any time l>cfore. It is a Kv; question if we can safely follow English | precedents in this respect of forcing animals to prematurity. Certainly, if we are to suffer the puins and penalties, the discuses and losses among our live stocK, which English farmers are complaining of, it is very clear that we cannot afford to do it and had better make haste more slowly. ?

The First Woman Who Wnnted to Vote ? ,.r iris. 11 iiii'ciun; ui iiiu ^viiivu\/au iiwtorical society the Hon. John L. Thomas read a paper entitled "Margaret Brent, the First Woman in America to Claim the Right to Vote.*' Two hundred and forty years ago, in St. Mary's City, on the rivpr of the same name, flowing into the Potomac river, near Point Lookout,Margaret Brent lived. She landed there with her sister Manin November, 1(>38, aged thirty-eight years, five years after the landing of Leonard Calvert,brother of Lord Governor,and provincial governor of Maryland. Mr. Thomas thought he must have been much in love with Margaret Brent. Mr. Thomas gave an account of the exciting troubles from 1G-I4 to 1G80, the period of the dissensions about Kent island and the Claiborne rebellion. Margaret Brent, Mr. Thomas savs, only ap -x ?r* pears at unit's in uic nuimn ui uit colony, but she was evidently a woman of great influence. History says she was connected with Lord Baltimore by blood or marriage. Mr. Thomas described her as having brains, courage, executive ability, and great loyaltv to any cause she espoused. He thought she must have been handsome, or she could not have held her powtr. Men control by brain power, but tuerc must be something more than bijiin power when a woman controls. In 1047 Leonard Calvert died. He had not time to write a will. He said to Margaret Brent. ''Take all and pay all." Then he asked for a private conference with her, and she received his dying words. She took the governor's house and lived in it. Later she sold it to Governor Stone. As Leonard Calvert was agent for Lord Baltimore, she claimed control of all rents, issues and profits of Lord Baltimore, and did not care if the latter was pleased or not. The court confirmed her in this position. She claimed she had a right to vote in the assembly as the representative of Leonard Calvert and also of i.ord Baltimore. She. claimed not one but two votes. On January 21, 1(548, when the legislators assembled at Fort St. John's she demanded her right to vote as a 1 member of the general assembly of the State of Maryland. Her subsequent career was sketched to show that this refusal to let her have a vote in colonial affairs did not break her spirit, lu 1001 she was sixty years old. ! There is no record of her death, but it i is supposed she died in Lancaster county, Virginia. i The Carp as a Food Fish. Robert B. Roosevelt, one of the New ? irk State Fish commissioners, says in the Agriculturist: There is much inquiry concerning the German carp introduced | into this country by the I'nited States [ Fish commission. People want to know ^ where it will live, how fast it will grow, and generally what it is worth now that we have it. Often as these questions are answered, they come up again, and in truth, the different results reported are , confusing unless accompanied with an explanation. Carp are not a first-class table-fish, but they arc immensely superior to no fish at all, when a fish dinner is wanted. They are not as good to cat as the bull-head for instance, but then it may be said that the bull-head is a vbry excellent fish when well understood. So the carp can be made a toothsome feature of the dinner table if the mistress of the kitchen comprehends the mysteries of the sauce-boat. Without that skill which, by the way. is universally possessed by our adopted German fellow-citizens, and can be learned from almost any of them, the carp is rather tasteless. In very cold spring brooks carp will not grow at all, they rather seem to shrink, if we can imagine a fish shrinking with the cold But in warm waters, especially in the Southern States, where there is no trouble with frost, they attain an enormous size quickly. There have been 111. stances of their growing to seven pounds weight in two years, which far surpasses anything known of any other specie? of fish. In the North, if the ponds have hard bottoms and freeze their entire depth, the carp will be killed. Hut if the bottom is soft and muddy, they will burrow into it and protect themselves. They are said to feed on vegetables, either the natural growth in the water, or the refuse from the garden, but I imagine they are greatly improved by an occasional taste of the numberless insects that are found on all aquatic plants. The same rule applies to them that is found to govern in all other departments of nature; the best is always the hardest to get. Not only will carp never supply the place of trout, but they will hardly live in the same water. They need little care, and will exist on poorer food, are content in less fine water, and they are in the end an inferior fish. The common proverb says that whatever is worth having is worth working or, and that, translated into fish literature, means that an ordina y variety is more easily maintained than a superior one. Still there is always more need of the lower class. Few men eat trout, more eat shad, and infinitely more use cod, while the ponds that are adapted to trout arc not as one in a hundred to those fitted for carp. Any old sluggish pond, above a mud hole, will answer for them. In conclusion it is almost self-evident that carp are no more a game lish than a fattened hog is a game animal. C'aip can generally be prccured through the State Fish commissioners, and several breeders offer them lor sale. LADIES ON A COON HUNT. PICTURESQUE WIGHT SCENE GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED. How a. Parly of marylnnd Young l adies and Gentlemen Hunted the Gu> and FcniIvc Coon. What! Yonn?r ladies on a coon hunt? The idea was preposterous. ''Jest ter think of these yer wimmen-folks a trapncill, 'limit <!< wruuls; in (1(! Ili<rh1 tillie: (loiin't b'leve in no sieh foolishness," whispered Uncle Zekc. the champion coon-hunter of the neighborhood. So thought everybody else except the obdurate young ladies, who argued that as it was more or less a family party there was no impropriety in such a frolic. The discussion, which continued for nearly a halfhour, was carried on by an anxious mother. four young ladies, three young men ai d old Zeke, before the large kitchen fire-place, in which big oak logs were burning briskly, sending out a mellow light that outlined the figures in magnified shadows and formed some fantastic pantomimes on the opposite walls. iiii'i... 4 * who ??!!>? S?III?? mv, iiiviiivi | over heard of young ladies going on a coon-hunt ?" "That's just why wo want (o go.M answered the one with brown hair. "Well. then, if I can't persuade you out of this insanity, suppose you ask Uncle Zeke's opinion?" I'ncle Zoke had been a silent witness. His private opinion, chronicled above, had been expressed to the writer in an undertone. One of the young ladies?a veritable diplomat?crossed to where the old man was standing, laid her hand on the shoulder of his rusty coat, and smiling straight into his eyes, said: "Xnw t'nrlfZekc. voifre IlOt L'oilltr to decide against its, are yon?'' To express it classically, this broke the old man all up. lie 1 Kicked down like a coward. "I guess it won't do no harm for you to go,*'he said. ''But you and the young men must keep together, and don't go 110wheres only where I tell you." The party, now numbering ten, got together, ami by half-past 8 o'clock had passed through the road gate and was making for the woods across the field. The dogs hounded over the ground yelp* ing joyously. The colored boys hollered and ran helter skelter, playing leap fro<j and getting far in advance of the others. And all the time the ladies exclaimed: "Oh, my!' "Ain't this jolly!" and showered a perpetual torrent of <piestions on Uncle Zeke. "Where's your gun?" they asked. "We doan't take no guns. There ain't u u-? L.;il? 110 iun in suuuuu i-uuns. m nu^ v... with clubs. You sued the sticks them young fellers had? Wait till they git at a coon, and you'll purty soon see how they kin get the best of him." Zeke directed the boys to take the dogs to the fence corner near the branch road. "I seed a lot of half-eaten corn and some nibbled chestnuts round thereto-day. and you kin depend upon it dare's a coonsumwhar in the neighborhood." The whole party met at the fence corner. The ladies were eager with excitement to press on with the hunt. The pine knots which the party carried were lighted. Three men w? re distributed among the | party. Due advice was given to avoid muddy places. "Now, go ahead!" shouted Zeke. The hunters and huntresses move forward. A (pieer torchlight procession it makes, the glare of the pine knots giving .. !. <? tlw. trill lotftras trcea. ?l IU1IU ma % ? The dogs hound forward, barking uneasily, while the boys cry, "Hi, there!" "Go it, now!" And on we go. The torch lights our pathway. Zeke is already in the lead. We follow after. In a short time we see the dogs-under a large gum tree, barking furiously. The excitement grows intense. The noise of the dogs, the hubbub of the boys and the exclamatory furore of the young ladies combine into a small-sized pandemonium, which would scare an ordinary coon to death. Zeke assumes command. "Take care de ladies over dare, near de clump of cedars; an' keep 'em dare. Don't ye come under the tree or ye might git hurt." The ladies were promptly removed to the re served portion, where they have an excellent view of the operations. The torches indistinctly illuminated the tree. On one of the topmost boughs was seen a clumpy mass. "Now, Jake," stentoriously cried Zeke, "clim'o dc tree and shake de critter out!" OlT goes Jake's coat. He springs to the tree as if attacking a monster. Upward lie mounts. He reaches the branches, pulls himself up and climb.* the tree as if it was a ladder. He pauses. "Uncle Zeke," he says; and the old man asks, "What's the matter?" "Uncle Zeke, dare's two of 'em." "Bless de Lawd," fervently exclaims the old mau. "Look out down dare, I'se gwine to shake." "Oh! ah! ugh!" utters a female voice; "don't shake over this way." But the tree quivers. The branch with the clump moves violently. A second and the ciump falls. A four-legged creature lights on the ground. In a twinkling there was u rush toward it. Men, dogs, clubs, and the snapping coon revolve together inactive, jelling, whirling, yelping, rotary warfare The women scream, the doys bark, the men slash at the coon. The melee, the free, scrambling tight goes on savagely until a dub descends plummy on the animal's head, and the corpse of an eighteenpound coon is stretched upon the ground. The men stopped to wipe the perspiration trom their foreheads, and to regain their lost wind. The recess is short, and Zeke exclaims, "Now let the other feller come." A good shake and the "other feller" does come. If Jove had sent one of his thunderbolts down through that tree he wonlil not hnve nrridured a fri'atnr ron sternation than did that animal. The ladies saw a four-le??ed something drfop. They saw it hit the ground and bound upward. They saw it glare its eyes and start toward them. Then they rent the air with hysterical screams, and four feminine forms flitted ninthly over logs, hushes and briars into the distance. It was a regular stampede. Hut in the meantime the hunters intercepted the coon. They had the hardest time imaginable in getting it. Three times it gained the bushes, only to be driven back by the dogs. Then, exhausted and battled, it fell a prey to its enemies. Its weight was sixteen and a half pounds. The routed female forces of the coonhunting brigade were gotten together. Their flight had brought on nothing more serious than a genuine scare and a few briar scratches. " When the old coon started toward us,''said one, "it looked as big as an ox." But the <! 1 animals reassured them of the sucee. s of our expedition, and their fears disappeared before the reawakened enthusiasm in the sport. Laughter came back. Songs were now sung, and general jolity prevailed while I ti?e party threaded its way homewards. | The hunt had resulted in two dead coons and no mishaps to speak of. 'Who could want more? "Ain't they beauties?" says t'ncle Zeke, holding up the ring-tailed animals; "I tell ye, l.ldies and gentlemen, de best thing on (lis side of paradise is baked coon, with sweet 'taters and pone bread |corn bread | and a little slice of pumpkin pie." Before 11 o'clock we had arrived at the house. "Don't forget what I told ye 'bout coon and pone bread," said Zeke, as he left for home. Yesterday the animals were served for dinner. Zeke is right. Coon, properly cooked, is good.?LcUcr in Unitiiiiori' Ame.r 'aan. Preferred ilis Whistling. When IJoufTe favored us with his company in the foyer of the Varieties?a rare occurrence? he generally regaled us with some good story picked up in the course of liis long theatrical life; and one of these, the last I ever heard from his lips, | 1 distinctly remember, lie was starring t at Kouen, and on one of his ofT nights strolled into the threatre when Harold's Zampa was played. Among the actors was a new recruit, to whom, for some reason or other, the spectators had taken a strong dislike, and hissed him most unmercifully, until at last the poor fellow came forward and addressed the audience as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a wife and three children, iind, if 1 had been tortunatc to please l you, should have earned a yearly salary of l,800f., which would have sufficed for us all. I do not dispute your right to reject me, hut although mv singing has not satisfied you, perhaps my whistling may." Thereupon he began to whistle a popular air with such perfection that the whole house was in raptures, and he was unanimously accepted on the express condition that, whatever vocal parts might it; future be assigned to him, he should whistle instead of sing them.?

In passing along the line of the South Florida railroad one gets but occasional glimpses of the many orange groves to be seen, as the groves are older than the railroad and the views from the train are for the most part very poor. Hut when you arrive at Maitland, here the whole face of nature hits undergone a change. Instead of the succession of pine trees and other varieties of natural growth, you are at once struck with the sudden transformation. What has been in former years a rolling hammock with its varied growth and high pine land, now confronts you with one succession of orange groves. The rusty and dingy look worn by the moss-covered oak has been replaced by the dark green, luxurious growth of the citrus family. I passed through and stopped at Orlando, but I was longing to return to Lake Maitland, the gem of South Florida, and to drink in the beauties of its landscape. We passed through a dozen groves, the largest of which has in it H.700 orange trees, a large part in full bearing. Here we halted for a few moments, to rest and to take a bird's-eye view of the lake and the orange groves beyond. So far as the eye could see there was a con tinuous succession of prove after grove, and tlie fresh, verdant look of the green orange leaf, so grateful to the eye upon a bright day, was illuminated by millions of the golden fruit itself in all its glory. ?Fl<>ri<hi Times- Union. Harem Horrors. It would take many more pages to tell you all of that eventful night. I have seen much of Egyptian harem life aside from it. I visited a rich harem with a school teacher who has access to these homes. Ve passed through court, after court, attended by two eunuchs; and several Nubian girls stood here and theri in white loose robes,covered with jewels, (slaves they arc?all are subject to the master); finally through a lovely garden with flowers and fountains. We entered a large salon, with gay divans, and on the lovely Turkislijtugs sat seven women, KOiiic wniokinrr cinvimr. lnllimr. ill] mi flip floor, and as many slaves standing ready to do their bidding. They arc the wives of two rich brothers. Some were young, some were old. One pretty little wife, only fourteen years old, had one child two months old. She had a chance to say a word to the teacher some weeks ago and told her she remembered when some men took her from her mother in Caucasia, about three years ago. She had been sold twice since. She said the old wives beat her sometimes when they saw tl:e husband show any affection toward her. She is so sad; was covered with jewels and gay attire. They can't put their heads out of doors after marriage until after the birth of a child; it is a disgrace to do so. What a life is this harem!? Cleveland Lender. Perilous Leaps. Curious as it may seem, it is not generally known by theatre audiences that the "perilous leaps," "terrific scaling or precipices," and other similar feats which fall to the lot of the hero of heroine of the play are in almost every case performed by a dummy. Thus, it is not the prima donna, who, in "La Somnambula," walks in her sleep across the bridge at tne back of the stage, nor in the "Romance of a Poor Young Man" is it the leading man who takes the flying leap from the tower, but in each case a carefully dressed dummy, whose bones sire not particularly precious. They tell this story of a "Ma !> ??r\ /.U|J|Hl JIUi 1U1 lililUUU ill lilt V/*U vti ?jo, which shows how this theatrical trick sometimes results. A celebrated star was playing the piece, and had a circus rider made up to look like him to do the riding. Of course the audience supposed the rider to be the star. In those days the runs up the mountains were elaborately arranged, and the flight of the wild horse was a startling incident. One night the horse fell with the rider, crashing from the Hies to the stage. The curtain was rung down, and presently the star was led before it, staggering as though badly injured, and said that, in spite of the fall, he would endeavor to finish the play. And he did so, amid frantic applause. The poor circus-rider lay in the hospital four weeks, ?lioio Bclh. NOTHING LEFT BUT PRIDE. TEE POOR LITTLE OLD MAW WHO " WAS 03TCE FAMOUS.

"We were going along the path together," said he, "when we heard above us, 011 the mountain, a sound as if a big storm were raging. There was an awful roar, and the trees were swaying as if bent by the wind. The sound approached us suddenly, and then a huge white mound towered above us, and the next instant all was darkness to me. It flashed through my mind that I was caught 111 a snow slide. I tried to put out my arms, but they were pressed to my side and I could move them but I little. 1 could feel the snow with my hands. I could feci 110 movement, though at that moment, I suppose, I was going down the mountain side with frightful rapidity. At first I experienced 110 difficulty in breathing, hut soon I felt a horrible sense of suffocation. I tried to struggle upward, but could not. The air about me seemed to become less and less, and I lost consciousness. I was awakened by a shock. I opened my eyes and lounrt myselt hanging across the branch of a tree, wedded in tightly between it and the trunk. For 11 few moments I could make no exertion, but finally managed to draw myself upward into a sitting posture, i iookcu downward, and t he surface of the snow seemed to In; about seventy feet beneath me. I felt faint, and my hold on the limb gradually relaxed in spite of ail mv efforts. Finally I became di/zv and fell, as I thought, to death. I dropped only about | six feet and landed in the soft snow. 1 ( suppose the shock had somehow affected ' my sight. I crawled downward to the , foot of the snowslide and there found Anderson, half insensible from being thrown against a rock.

Of the scenery of the Borromean Islands, or the blended softness and grandeur of the charming banks, the intense blue of the lake waters, and distant engirdling of snowy peaks, one can hardly say too much. But other points (f interest there are. most attractive to the traveler; among them, in the vicinity of Arona Station, upon an elevation overlooking the entire district, is a colossal statue stretching skyward sixty-six feet, nnd resting upon a pedestal forty feet in height. It was erected in 1607, in honor of the celebrated Cardinal, Count Carlo Borromeo, archbishop of Milan, in which city he died, 1587. The head, hands and feet of this statue are of bronze; the robe is of wrought copper. The various parts arc held together by iron clamps, anil in the interior by stout masonry." Ladders are at hand, bv which the lower part of the robe may be reached, whence the interior can be entered. If one has pluck and spirit, and is a climber of skill, he can, by means of well-arranged iron bars, ascend to the head of this wonderful statue, in which three persons can be accommodated. A window introduced at the back of this gigantic memorial relieves slightly the intense closeness of the air; but the suffocating heat and the crowded companionship of bats render the ascent any thing but a pleasant pastime.

The Vegetarian's Stumbling Block. There is one inherent weakness in the creed of vegetarians, and that is that they cannot get on without animal food ?namely, milk and eggs. Hut milk cannot be got without cows, and as the consumption of milk may be expected to increase and is said as a matter of fact to increase where little or no other animal food is taken, the number of cows must be expected to increase under a vegetarian regimen. But then there must also be calves, and these calves will grow up and become cows, and even bulls, and cover the whole surface of the globe in time, if they are not killed; but one of the great arguments of the vegetarianism is the cruelty of killing animals. Nobody, of course, desires that any animal shall I...

LANCED TEN MS Lyme Ot.ntrt, N. H., Fob. 9. 1883. MY little girl wan sorely afflicted with Scrofula from 8 months old till she watt 2tj, when we commenced riving her Hood'H Sarsaparilla. So Tirnleut watt the Scrofula, that the doctor had lanced her neck ten times. Then we tboaght It was time to do something. It was in February, DSsi, that she began to take Hood's Saiisapakilla. At that time there wy a very large biinoh on her little face. This we exwsoted to open with the lancet; but. to our surprise.the bunch began to shrink under the influence of Hood's Sarsaparilla. and now it has entirely disappeared. It hos gone. Baby is on her third bottle, She is in good tlesh. Sores all gone, her appetite is good, &nd she seems as well as any child.-Wm. H. Oonant. Hood's Sarsaparilla always proves itself the sareat and safost purifier of the blood. We recommend its use in full confidence that it will not disappoint. It is pleasant to take and promote* gTowth while it cures the Scrofula. Hood's Sar^ayar Ua has cured in the past, does care in the present, and will cure in the future.
