Wash Your Lemons.
'Please put those lemons in a dish H
neater and let them stay there ten or fifteen
minutes befbre you use them," said
a tn tkn nam Vinnonmoi'l whn wm
It. IOUJ ^ ,
getting ready to make lemon pies. The
girl looked somewhat surprised, and the
lady continued, "I do not suppose that
many people step to think about it, but
the outside of a lemon is anything but
clean. If you will look at it you will see
some tiny black spots like scales all over
.it. These are the eggs of an insect, and
J the lemon is not washed they are very
likely to become an ingredient of whatever
dish the lemon is used for. For
years I have made the practice of clean
IIng all tbe lemons 1 use witn a small |
crub brush kept for the purpose, then
dropping tbem into a dish of water to
remain five or ten minutes before using."

DRIVING A HORSE.
The kind of rein used depends on the
kind of horse that is driven. Some free
drivers that are somewhat skittish would
need a tight rein; others that are quiet
and hold their heads well up may be
driven with a loose rein, but it is safest
always that the driver should keep the
animal well in hand, for no one can know
what may happen to cause the horse to
shy or stumble, when before the driver
can get control of the horse it might bolt

PUMPKINS AS POOD.
Many farmers grow large crops of
pumpkins and find quick sales for them
at good prices. But we do not intend to
give an account of the profit in this vegetable.
We .desire to call the attention
of growers of it to the valuable properties
which it contains as food for stock.
Carrots are considered to be the best
food of its kind for stock, and immediately
behind it comes the pumpkin.
This is sufficient, and we can readily see

food, but the result is not so plainly evi- 1

merely to be levelled wit& sledge nam-1 mere
to create a permanent way that in

striking, however, are the mud roads to

SUIfnjr a Huge Grizzly.
For some tima the cattle men in the
'icinity of Bridgeport have beon missing
lattle from their herds. Among the
* * "* TT.aMMAMnSlI on
inncipai losers was x*. o. a.uuucuim,
!xtcDsivc land and cattle owner. He
et a big 100-pouad bear trap in a pig)en-like
structure of logs, with an openng
on one side, and baited the trap with
k calf's head. He also attached an
tighty-pound log to the trap. It had
ron hooks to it so that it would catch
igainst obstructions and prevent tbe
erocious animal from traveling rapidly.
It was set for two days, but the bear
lid not touch tbe bait. Finally Mr.
iuonemill visited the log 'pen in Buck>
>ye canyon and found the trap gone. Tbe
rail of the log and trap and tracks of
he bear led up the heights above the
:anyon. He raised a possa of m3n,
imong whom was Mr. Miner. They
' ' 1 aI 1J? fha
railed toe Dear up iue aiueo ui wowvu.ain,
over perpetual saow at times and
jarren stretches at others. They traveled
ast and made many miles before they
inally came in sight of the grizzly.
"His right forepaw was caught in the
rap," said Mr. Miner, "but, notwithitanding
that and the dragging of the
jighty-pouad log, he traveled well. As
toon as we got near enough we , comnenced
firing with our Winchesters and
evolvers. We fired at least twenty-five
ihots. The bear reared and bawled like
i calf. He didn't stop to fight; he was
;rying to get away. We kept following
aim and blazing away, and he would rear
)n his haunches and cry out at every
ibot. Most of us were almost tired out
with the hard climbing and we diin't
enow for a time whether we could kill
iim at all. At last he was finally brought
:o bay and a 45-caliber ball killed him.
"When he had been rolled down-the
udes of the m uatain to where we could
titehim to town we found a curiou*

Deafhea* Can't be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot react the
iieeased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to core deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inlamed
you nave a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it Is entirely closed,
ieafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation
can bo taken ont and this tube re.
stored tc its normal condition, hearing will be
iestroyed forever nine cases out of ten arc
nausea by catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we I
mnnot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh. Cure.
