THE BORDER TROUBLES. r] The Feeling in Mexico Over the Cutting Case. An Interview with the Imprisoned ^ American Elitor. s ?c City of Mexico dispatch says: Public * ?ntim>nt h? re regarding the Cutting case is ? 6till aroused, owing largely to the threats of g fr.im the State of Texas, and there is ? general uneasiness lest international troubles j may arise from an unauthorized inva- J sion of Mexican soil In an inter- t view a European diplomat, whose offi- c cial position prevents the use of his o same said: "The United States and Mex- 1; ico should certaiuly be able to settle the case 1: in dispute, even if they have to resort to e friendly arbitrat on. It is certain that the v State of Chihuahua has as good a right to her peculiar code as has France, from which 8 coun'ry Chihuahua took her example. It t is not likely that the United States, in a t ca<-e of similar kind with France. ?. would make a peremptory demand f for the re.'ease of her citizens. The r. United States's view of this case will not be ? the view of European countries where a similar law to that'of Chihuahua obtains. England does not recognize the divorce law of certain of the American States, but that is no reason for war. It would be a bad ex- 1 ample of republican institutions if two na? * tioas like the United S.a es and Mexico bad * to resort to war to settle such a case as that ? of Cutting." } An American newspaper corresponlent in 1 company with Samuel Field, a well-knowu t citi en of Dalla-s, Texas, saw Cutting, the* j imprisoned American editor, in the jail at Paso del Norte, Mexico. "I asked hiin," said ~ the correspondent, ''particularly as to his al- t ?ir. n|jttinn nersonallv in Mexico of T v?* " ??? I . the article complained of." He replied: c "Upon going over to the Mexican _ side, on the morniog of the publication, I had in my pocket a copy of the paper, El Sentinel. I entered h corner cafe kep^by a 8 friend of mine and casually handed him a t paper, the only one I had. " This is all I did." j( The correspondent asked Cutting whether he intended to appeal hiscae to the Supreme * Court of Chihuahua. He said that his attor- 1 nev, a young Mexican student just out of the law school, hail determined to do so. \ A ge ieral uneasiness prevails in Laredo, j Texas, over the unprc tected situation of that city. Many Americans who have been so- * journing in Mexico, some on pleasure and " others on busine-s, are coming over to the t American side of the Kio Grande in anticipa- ] tion of trouble. GDvernor Ireland, of Texas, says a later dispat?h, continues Xo i-ec.'iv? o!Ters of vol- * nateer* for service against Mexico.

This was ?oue of the longest pro- ^ fessional contests on record. Up to recent date the greatest number of games won.in succession by any Lengue club j this season is fifteen, by Detroit; and the i t greatest number lost in succession is twelve, } fi by Washington.

The Cause of Scratches. The disease known as scratches is prolaced by local irritation from i:ny cause, uch as exposure to wst, mud, or tilth iperating upon a disordered conditi n of he blood. There is a contagious form if the disease produced by a; parasitic ungoid growth, which is spread by the pores from a diseased surface becoming ttached to any wounded part of the oot. A scratch or cut by a calk on a torse's foot may thus be infected by conact with litter or manure upon which a liseased horse has trodden, and the dis>rder is often spread in this manner in arge stables or the stables of hotels and iyerymen. The treatment is similar in ither case. The diseased skin should >e washed with warm water and soap nd hnt.hr-d fr?>elv with ft snturated solu ion of hyposulphite of soda; or a soluion of oue diara of sulphate of zinc in a >int of water twice a day. An ounce of ivposulphite of soda should be given laily for two weeks.?New York Times. Picking Pears.

Others are much the >etter for being taken into a cool roam o ripen as soo.i as the septum is formed o that they will detach there. \Vheu akun into cool, still air, ripening is less apid, there is less danger of rot at the ore, and there is more jucineas and fiaror, and more delicacy of color. It is very comuion to see pears which re ha: d and green in October, left on he trees, or otherwise neglected as worthess, when they are really capable of ipening into finer maturity of tender lesh and rich flavor than any of the arlier sorts. For it is a general lule vith all fruits that those which require he longest term to complete their growth each the highest perfection and value, rhe very late sorts should be left upon he tree as long as the night frosts are ight?usually till lute in Ociobet . " " It is important to pick with care not o break the stem, but to sever it at its latural septum of partition. This leaves t sealed, but if broken nearer the fruit . leakage is opened throngh which juice scapes, and the fruit soon begins to look hrivelled about its base, and loses qualty and capacity for keeping. It should >e kept covered so as to prevent draught >f air, and in a cool place not too dry. Iipene68 can be hastened by removing ome to a drawer in a warm room, when isu lly a high color and flavor will be leveloped, if the due season has arrived. Packing and Shipping Egg*. Eggs, especially in summer, should be lot only sound but fresh laid. Stale ggs, though apparently sound, are sure o reach maiket in bad order, or will hange so rapidly that dealers lose money >n them. Always ship at once while resh. Use strong, stiff barrels. For lacking, use tine, kiln-dried cut straw ir wheat chaff. S mo Canadian packers ise dry oat-hulls, which answer a good lurpose. Never use oat or buckwheat half, and never use new oats, straw or half, as they sweat and rot the eggs in , short time. Place first a little long, soft straw or lay, two or three inches iu thickness, venly over the bottom of the barrel, hen about the same depth of packing, hen a layer of eggs, laid upon the sides, venly embedded in the packing, with he ends toward the barrel, about one nch from the staves. Cover the layer pith three-fourths or one inch of pa?kug, rubbing it well in between the eggs pith the hand. Cover the last layer with bout three inches of packing, and then lie same quantity of long straw or nay s at the bottom, tilling so high that the icad must be pressed in by a lever or ther mechanical power, thus holding he contents so firmly that they cannot hift or loosen in the barrels. In winter, to guard against frost, use aore packing, leaving the eggs farther rom the sidis of thj package. One of he chief causes of failure in packing g<js is using too little packing at the op, bottom and sides of the barrel. Do lot crowd too many into the package, nd uever let the eggs touch each other n the layers. For an ordinary flour >arrel seventy dozen are qu'te sufficient. >ut about four and one-hnlf do; en in the irst layer, and increase one-half dozen o the layer up to six and one-half dozen n the two middle layers, then decrease t the same rate. It is well to shake the >arrel gently after each layer is put in, irst placing a light follower upon the ayer.. The count should be carefully aade, and honestly marked on the barel.? Culticat-jr.

If | a more than two or tnree are piameu v together they will crowd so that none will yield much fruit. This necessity 10 for an abundant supply of food is the de reason why chance vine? often yield so H enormously. Vine? thus coming up in th a rich place have the field all to them- ii selves, and the result shows that they al orcupy it fully. to If clover has been cut early enough the lt second growth'will start rapidly without manure. If it has been left until in full . b'ossom, or the heads just turning, the u aftermath will be small whatever is done. m Sowing gypsum or land plaster is help- .Wl ful, as it will retain moisture on the .m leaves. Coarse manure should not be used unless with the intention of leaving .e all after growth to lie on the ground for manure. It will smother the clovcr so as to partly offset whatever good it may , do. It is surprising how thin a covering , over a clover plant will suffice to smother I it. Even the scattering hay is injurious, , and for this reason should be raked up and removed, more to get it where it will not hurt the clovcr thnn for the . value of the hay. j Horses, especially those hard at work, th suffer more from overfeeding than from almost any other cause. They may not pi eat too much, in fact, overfeeding is a: often a cause for a horse not eating ti enough. It is much easier to put too hi much hay or grain before a horse and let ti: him eat what he will and muss and soil ?: th: remainder, than it is to give just the sc right amount and see that all is eaten fc clcanly. No animal is more delicate in it its food than a horse. If the manger is vi half filled with some hay or other feed b< the odor from this takes away his appe- fc tite for what is freshly placed before d him. Disregard for this fact is one cl reason why horses often grow poor on al cut feed moistened and fed to tlum in ol warm weather. It sours very quickly at si this season, and a very little left in the pi feed box will soon destroy a horse's appetite. ct w Doctoring the Maoris. I was told that a real medical mis- m sionary would be likely to do an immense pi deal of good in New Zealand, on account la of the griat fancy the Maoris have for being doctored. They do not mind pain. If you give them oue mustard plaster w they are not contented; they must have er one* on every part that feels uncorafort- ai able, and have been seen with as many Oi as five or six on at once. They are particularly fond of having their teeth drawn; that is their delight; and when a 5 A tooth is out they take it outside the q house, and get a stone, and hammer away till it is reduced to powder. They c quite enjoy this revenge upon th-.ir old enemy. it "1 want you to pull out this too.'h," a ^ Maori said one day to Mr. Taylor. t "There is nothing the matter with it." "Yes, there is; it gives me great P pain." "It is not your tooth gives you pain, ! it i? something else." "But it is my tooth, and you must take it out. I suppose you tell me you won't because you can't." oi And he roared so loud to show how fr bad till pain was, aud got altogether so d; excite J, that at iastthe missionary agreed tt to take the tooth out on the full under- hi standing that it was done simply to ir please the patient. ai "There,*' he said afterward, "you see ic it is as I said; there is nothing at all the at matter with it." s( Th'*n why did you touch it.'" asked T the tiresome invalid. "Vou say it is e: quite good, aud yet you took it out. Put c< it in again I" p] What was the good of reasoning with E the man? "Open your mouth," said the cl missionary, "and l:ll see what I ca-i do." w And, strange to say, the tooth went bavk ai into its place, and does not seem to have w given its owner any further trouble, while Ii the missionary gained great credit with 0! the natives for being able, not only to tl tako tee:h out, but to put them back ui again!

You may add my testimony as ;o the merits of Piso's Cure for Consumption. I took a ^ severe cold last February, wnich settled on my n lungs. They beca ne ulcerated and were so painful that I had no rest for two days and a nights. I got a bottle of Piso's Cure for Cone sumption, and was relieved by the time I had ^ taken half o'. it. Since that time I have kept , Piso's Cure in the house, and use it as a pre11 ventive, both for lung troubles and croup, for which I can recommend it as the beet medicine I ever used: and that is saying a great deal, ,s for I have used at least twenty others, besides ,r about as many physicians' prescriptions. Piro's Cure for Consumption has never failed to give relief in my family. T A. J. GRUBB.
