DR. B. C_lW And His Congress of Physicians?Miracles in Medicine Monstrous Tumors Jlelt Away?The Lam* Throw Aside Their Crutches and WalkCancer, Consumption and Chronic Troubles Cured in a Hystericus flanner. Oar readers are well acquainted with the name of Dr. R. C. Flower of Boston. Hi9 miraculous cures of the most desperate and abandoned case3 when given up as inourable by leading physioians ha9 caused the InterOcean of Chicago, Cincinnati Enquirer and Kew York Tribune to say If miracles were ever performed, many of Dr. R. C. Fiower's cures belong to that class of wonders. The Cincinnati Enquirer recently interviewed numerous prominent people in all sections of the country regarding Dr. Flower's treatment of patients. Here is what they say. They peak for themselves. A Wonderful Cure. Wm. Mix, a prominent lawyer and wealthy gentleman of 1044 Third avenue, Louisville, Ky.: Dr. R. C. Flower of Boston, Mass., cured my wife several years ago of the most terrible and dangerous diseases woman can be heir to. IoonsiderDr. Flower's cure of Mrs. Mix almost miraculous. I had 6pent thousands of dollars on prominent physicians in Louisville and New York witbout any help. After several months under the best specialists of New York she continued to grow worse, and I brought her home in the deepest despair. Under these conditions I took her to see Dr. Flower. He told her her trouble better than she could have told him, without asking a question. In a few months under Dr. Flower's treatment she was entirely cured, and has enjoyed ever since the finest Ac o nhtraintnn T)r. Flower leads the world, I believe. He Is a great man, hi9 Judgment Is the highest authority. As a man Br. Flower is one of the most pleasing, entertaining and oultured gentleman you ever met, and a man of the highest integrity. flarasraus. Henry D. Posey, 615 Chestnut street, Evansville, Ind., said: "I consider Dr. Flower the greatest physician in all the world. I don't believe there was ever such a dootor, and I doubt if there will ever be another, and I form my judgment from his work. "I was a living skeleton when I went to ee Dr. Flower, over a year ago. I could not at anything, not even milk, without great distress. I had wasted to a shadow; I had given up hope aad was given up. I resolved, as a very last resort, to consult Dr. Flower. I did so. He told me all my trouble without ?ting a question. Then I knew I was in the presence of a man who knew his business. I put myself under his care, and improved immediately, and am a sound, well man today. You can say for me I believe he has no equal on earth." Fibroid Tumor. Mrs. James E. Smith of Corydon,Ind., said: Wh?n T went to see Dr. R. C. Flower about a year ago I was suffering with a large advanced tumor. I had consulted and been treated by all the best doctors in this section of the country. They all advised an operation, and stated that "unless I had one performed I would live but a few weeks, and it was by no means certain that an operation would help me. Dr. Flower told me my troubles, their origin and growth, without asking me a question. He stated that in his opinion an operation would prove fatal; on the other hahd, he believed I could be successfully treated and cured without an operation. 1 placed myself under his treatment and began to improve immediately; today I am a well woman?no tumor, no pain, strong and happy. I wish every sick person knew o! Dr. Flower. PirkyiU and Tumor?A Miracle. Mrs. Wm. Daakyne of Sheridan, IncL, said: About a year ago I visited Dr. Flower. I was then helpless, in a paralyzed condition; . went on crutches whenever I went out A terrible tumor increased my already abnormal T mAn.?nrAri nvflr thrfifl and a half feet around the waist and over four feet from hip to hip. The disease had settled In one limb, ana I had no use of it; was also fast losing my eyesight My nerves were shattered and I had no memory. Not one of my friends' ever thought I could be helped. The Shjsialans had given me up' as incurable. Dr. lower had told me my troubles without asking me a question, or how they came upon me. I took a course of treatment under him, and, thank God, I am today a well woman. Look at me?tumor gone, natural in size, sight restored, memory good, nerves like Iron, no orutches?I can walk for a mile and not feel tired. Why, sir, I believe Dr. Flower . to be the greatest man of this age. He is a marvel!?a giant in his work. Several of my acquaintances he has cured in the same way. The people in Sheridan speak of this cure as wonderful and miraculous. * Consumption. "I was a sufferer with consumption." said Mre. John D. Becker. 103 John street, Evansvllle, Ind. "I bad doctored with numerous physicians without relief. As a last resort (and the lady laughed as she added: 'Dr. Flower is always the last resort,') "I went to ee Dr. R. C. Flower. lie told me all about my troubles without asking me to say a word. Bo pleased wa31 with the examination that I E laced myself under his care, and began to nprove Immediately, and today am a well woman- Ten months ago I could do no work, could scarcely walk, spent my time lying down or In a rocking chair; now I can do any kind of work, walk as much as when I was a young girl. I cannot speak too highly <A my physician," said this cultured and refined woman. '-Dr. Flower is a great man,an honest, candid man. He is smart, quick and keen and wonderfully fascinating. I don't think the slok have any cause to fear il under his care." Confirmed Invalid. Mrs. Joseph Cromwell, Xenia, 0., said: I was a helpless and continued Invalid when I went to see Dr. R. C. Flower. I could not wait 100 feet without sitting down. Besides, I was a nervous wreck. He diagnosed my case accurately. I began to improve immediately under his treitment. Can now skip, run and do what I want. Am well, and think Dr. Flower a medical wonder. Chronic Stomach Tronble. Bev. S. W. Kelster,Dayton.0.,said :"I went to see Dr. R. C.Flo wer as a last resort. He told me my troubles better than I could have told him; be cured me of a dreadful stomach trouble and nervous exhaustion. I consider htm the most wonderful physician living."

An operation by numerous physicians was the only thing advised, with no hope held out of its being successful I had been given up as incurable, and had given up all hopes of ever being cured, when as a last resort my husband took me to see Dr. B. C. Flower. I was under his treatment for a few months, began to improve immediately, and in a few months was cured. Gastritis. Mrs. Etta Mi'ler (wife of Mr. Miller, the merchant), of Binghamton, N. Y.. says: I bad been a great sufferer for years with stomach trouble. I had teen treated by the best physicians in New York, who all in time gave my case up as incurable. They had treated me for gastritis, catarrh and cancer of stomach, for nervous dyspepsia and consumption Of stomach and bowels. Am a last resort I oonsulted Dr. B. C. Flower, and he took my case, and in a few months I was permanently cured. Nervoui Prostration. Mrs. Joseph R. Sprague, Brewster, N. Y.: "1 JDaa oeen 111 ior teu ycan> nucu x ?cu?, iu Dr. B. C.

Was in a terrible condition; had nervous prostration and cancerous stomach trouble; also suffered with terrible headaches. Hod been given up as incurable by all doctors and bad given up all hope myselL But, thanks to Dr. Flower's skill, I am a well woman today and able to attend to my housebold duties and do just what I like. "He also cured my son of enlargement of ^he liver. "I don't believe there is anv need of anyone dying if they will place themselves under bis oare." Fungus Stomach. Dr. Brooks, of Brooks & Evans, a prominent dentist of Fortlaud, 5Ie., said: "I am an admirer of Dr. R. C. Flower. I consider him the ablest physician of the age. Why, sir, he can tell a sick person his disease without knowing anything about bim or asking him a question, just as easy as he would read his name. He has most successfully treated and cured me of a very serious and dangerous internal trouble which thre-teued not only my immediate health, but life (fungus of the stomach.) I was almost incapacitated for worit, was wasting away and rapidly los ing rny strength. Under ms ir^aimeni x sprang into^health. have gained in strength and flesh, and am now young again.

Flower, of Boston, cured me over ten years ago of the worst blood, trouble man or woman ever had. It was eating the flesh rapidly from my bones. I suffered all the misery and torture of time every hour of my life. All the leading physicians of New York and New England had treated my case and all had given me up as incurable. In this condition I applied to Dr. Flower, and in a few months was permanently cured, for in ten vears I have had no return of the trouble." (Mrs. A. G.

I had three operations performed, but in each case the cancer returned more violent than before. I was pronounced incurable by the leading physicians of New England. In this condition I went to see Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston. He cured me, removing every trace of cancer, tumor and bad blood, and all this without the use of n knife, without pain or my losing a droD of blood. I was under Dr. Flower's treatment about twelve months. He lias cured many of my friends of similar diseases." Gastritis. Hon. J. WillarJ Rice of Boston, saift. "Dr. R. C. Flower cured me of a gastric stomach trouble which threatened not only my health, but my life, aud that after the best skill of New York and Boston had failed to give me relief. Dr. Flower is one of the most able, learned and skilful physicians of this age, besides he is a most genial and fascinating man and as brilliant as a star." Stomach and Catarrh. J. H. Tucker, a prominent farmer of Lebanon, Conn., said: "Dr. R. C. Flower has cured me of a most serions stomach and bowel trouble, together with aggravated | chronic catarrh and nervous prostration. I was in absolute despair when I visited Dr. Flower. I had been disappointed bv doctors in their vain attempt to care me. lilo sooner did I begin Dr. Flower's treatment than I began to improve; my cure seems miraculous. Look at me; I am in the finest of health; I owe it all to him. And that is not all. Dr. Flower told me my troubles when I visited him without askingmea question, better than I could have told him." rialignant Tumor. Mrs. A. T. Longley, 801 Massachusetts av?| nue,N. E., Washington, D. C., said: Eight years ago Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, cured [ me of malignant tumor of womb and ovary, after all kinds of treatment and operations had failed. He stopped the hemorrhages and removed those eating growths without pain and without the knife. Her husband, A. T. Longley, thu superintendent of government seed department, said he knew of other cures equally wonderful. A Rheumatic niracle. Mrs. J. B. 8hrier,Jr.,Sl 8pring stieet,Charleston, S. C.. said: -'I truly can say that by the skill of Dr. R. C. Flower, I escaped a most horrible death, i naa aaa rueumausm for eight years.but lately it developed chalky Joints. I was informed after being treated >y the leading physician of this city, that there was do cure for my disease, and that amidst ijreat suffering I would gradually turn to stone. Besides my continual suffering I was helpless, had but little use for any of my Jimbs.was suffering from insomnia and nervous prostration. In other words, I was a helpless, ruined and abandoned wreck. In this condition I was talien to see Dr. R. C. Flower during one of his visits to Savannah. Under his treatment I began to improve immediately, and today I can walk as fast and well as anyone; use my limbs freely; the swelling in my joints has disappeared; I sleep well; my nerves are strong, and my cure Is considered by all my friends aj a miraculous escape from death. From Helplessness to Perfect Health. Hutson .bee, me weu-suuwu msumuto man of Charleston, S. C.. said: "My oldest son was restored by Dr. R. C. Flower from i helplessness to the perfect use of bis limbs after the best physicians in our country had failed to give him the slightest relief." A Miracle. Mrs. J. D. Clark, of Jonesboro, Ga., said: "I had a supposed incurable spinal trouble, double curvature, besides other serious and almost fatal troubles, a woman helpless in braces and on crutches. The most prominent physician in Atlanta had treated me, the hospitals had had me for treatment, and they had ail given me up as incurable. In this helpless, suffering and dying condition I was taken to Dr. Flower, when almost, as by magic, he restored me to perfect health. 1 don't pretend to say how he did it, but he did It" Cancer of the Tongue. Mrs. E. A. Selling, Avenue L and Twentysecond street, Galveston, Tex., said: "When I first consulted Dr. R. C. Fiowar of Boston, I was suffering from a terrible cancer (if the tongue, and had given myself up to die, but in a few months he entirely cured me. I am perfectly well today. Everybody who knew my condition look upon my cure as a miracle. Dr. Flower is the most wonderful physician and wonderful man I evet knew. Go into his presence and you feel his power." Fungus Liver. Joel Huey, president of First National Bank of Corsicana, Texas, said : "Dr. R. C. Flower is the most wonderful physician I ever knew. He cured me of a fungus cancerous condition of the stomnch and liver after numerous physicians had failed to help me and I had been given up to die." The above testimonia s are from many or the mo6t prominent, wealthy and influential men and women of this country. They calmly and deliberately say that Dr. R. C. Flower cured them after they had been given up to die, and that if it had not been for him they would have been in their graves. They rep. resent all kinds of business, all professions, all positions of prominence, and nearly all sections of the country. The testimony of one is the testimony of all, proving his almost supernatural power in curing the sick, and that his practice girdles the world. Dr. Flower has established a congress or staff ol physician?, and is locating a physician in every srate in the union. These staff physicians are the most skilled and able men (regardless of their school). The?e staff physicians examine patients,arrange for their treatment and send a written diagnosis of each case to him. From that time on they are under his care, the same as if the doctor had personally examined them himself. Thus Dr. Flower's patients can be examined and re-examined as needed by skilled physicians who are in close touch and communication with the doctor's practice. Dr. Flower spares no expense in making the cure of his patients absolute and complete. Thooe wishing to know more of Dr. R. C.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. "WHEN TO STOP WORKING CHOPS. The time to stop cultivating such crops as corn or potatoes is when it is no longer possible to get through the rows. But the cultivation should be only on the surface. The feeding roots of plants are near the surface, and should not be disturbed in any way, and, tbis being the case, it is easy to perceive how the shallow cultivation of the soil must help the growth of crops by causng the soil to absorb the greatest quantity of moisture, and to hold it most tenaciously when it is ab * -wr i rn* BorDecl.?iNew xois. ximee. A SIMTLE CUKE FOR "BACKING." When a horse stops and proposes to tnrn around don't resist the turn, but give him a quiet hoiizontal pull in the direction he wants to turn, so as to carry him further around than he intended to go, ftnd if possible keep him going around half a dozen times, says a horse trainer. In most cases this will upset all his calculations, and he will go quietly on without much ado. If six turns will not do, give him twenty. In fact, if he will keep on turning to your rein you are sure to conquer, as enough turning will confuse him and leave him at your command. If he will not turn, and will back to the rein, keep him going backward in the direction you want to go. He will soon get tired of that and prefer to go with the right end forward, but before you let him go give him decidedly more backing than he likes. ?New York World. TENT CATERPILLARS. Tent caterpillars are a great nuisance in the orchard. One apple grower scrapes out the nests with a Bxrfth r>f hnrlfin nnverAfl with onn.1 far He took a small rod of iron, about three-eighths of an inch in diameter, and had it drawn to a blunt point, and at about two inches from the pointed end bent it at an angle of about forty-five degrees. He wound this bent end firmly with burlaps, so as to mark a conical knob extending beyond the bend of the rod. This he fattened to a pole of proper length extending beyond the bend of the rod, and perhaps one and a half or two inches in diameter at the largest part. This arrangement he fastened to a pole of suitable length, and dipped the knob in coal tar, then thrusting it into the nest and using a turning and rubbing motion. Nest, worms ard all stick to the tar and are easily and quickly destroyed. Another good way to destroy the caterpillars is by the use of the asbestos torch which is sold at seed stores. It is soaked in kerosene, lighted and held a moment under the nests and along the branches.? Courier-Journal. SWINX PLAQUE. In the report of the Department of Agriculture on the cause and preventions of swine plague, the following disinfection is recommended to be used to purify the premises where it appears. Of course, nil affected should be quickly separated from the healthy ones, and carcasses of dead ones burned: 1. Slaked lime in the proportion of about five per cent, (one-half pound of lime to a gallon of water.) 2. Equal volumes of crude carbolic acid and ordinary sulphuric acid, mixed together, and then added to water in the proportion of two ounces to a gallon of water. 3. Sulphuric acid added to water in the proportion of one ounce to a gallon of water. 4. Boiling water. 5. Corrosive sublimate (mercuric cboride) in the proportion of one ounce to a gallon of water. it 6hould be borne in mind that sulphuric acid and corrosivo sublimate attract metals, and that the solutions Khonld be made in wooden nails. As ? X ?~ corrosive sublimate is highly poisonous, the solution must not be made stronger than indiceted above. The lime is, on the whole, the best and cheapest, but as it may not be desirable to use it everywhere, one of other disinfectants may be substituted. Each of the solutions recommended is more than strong enough to kill both hog cholera and swine plague bacteria. ?Farmers' Home Journal. GOOD BUTTER. It might be said with somewhat of the appearance of truth that the sole aim and purpose of technical instruction in butter-making is to teach interested persons how to make good butter, 'l'iiat is, without a doubt, a desirable aim; but there is another which is in greater danger of being lost 6ight of?and so far as buttermaking in private dairieB in rural districts is concerned this other purpose is much the more necessary, says W. T., in London Dairy. In such districts it is a good thing to teach a butter-maker to produce a superior article, but it is a better thing to teach others to purcjase and appreciate that superior butter. Once educate the public taste for butter in such districts and bad makers will disappear. I waB reminded of this fact by a story told by a friend of miDe, a wellknown judge, of a butter-maker who tried to pour ridicule upon the itinerant dairy school. The school came to her village, but of course she did not attend, telling one of the committee that she had made butter in her old-fashioned way for a pile of years, and that her butter was always the beet in the village (by-the-by, she's the first woman I've heard of who did not think her butter the best in the county). She was a bit startled -when slie took her next lot of butter to the local grocer, "who told her he could not give bo much by four cents per pound as he had been in the habit of doing. He had supplied his best customers | with butter from the dairy school, and only the sediment was left for the village champion. That week the difference between the dairy school butter and the village butter was expressed by eight cents per pound. By latest reports this "old-fashioned" butternaker was following in the wake of a traveling dairy school, s? we may hope she will not be overtake?, by the fat9 of those who "know not, and know not that they know not." BORROWING FARM TOOLS. There will occur times in the experience of all farmers when there seems to be a necessity for borrowing and lending for a short time, farm implements and tools, and all true hearted farmers take pleasure in this mutual accommodation, but when it is done,as is frequently the case, to avoid the purchase of the implement, and is done continually, to the great inconvenience of the owner of the implements, to use a slaug phrase, it becomes "an old chestnut." Usually the annoyance ie increased by the continuance, for while at first the borrowed article would be returned, after a time that obligation becomes repudiated, and the owner is compelled to go for and ^ ? ? ~ + V? r* im nlnmonf fnr puruups Benign iui iiio iiupiwmuui, AV* the-e borrowers of other people's implements are extremely liberal anil will frequently land to others. As one person expressed himself, he was perfectly willing to lend and did not expect the article to be brought back, but he did like to have the borrower tell him where he had left the article. Now, if there is a borrowing reader of the Farm, Field and Fireside (which it is sincerely hoped there is not), if he will but stop and think, he can not but see what an act of injustice it becomes when persisted in. Farming tools and implements are the owners property as much as his cows, oxen, horses, sheep or swine, or even his bank account, if he is sufficiently fortunate to have one, and there i6 no more reason why he should lend the one any more than the other. Implements are purchased and kept for the , service they are intended to perform | ?a plow to plow the soil, a cow for the production of milk. But while one, when he has a piece of ground to plow, will go and borrow a plow, if he desired milk he would hardly think of going to borrow a cow at milking time, and yet it would be just as consistent. The tax upon farmers for their own wear and tear of farm implements is sufficient without doubling it by lending. If our implement is one only occasionally called into use, then join in the purchase, or what is better pay for its use and then there can be no in justice done. It is a matter of fact too, that the borrowing mania is not always confined to the sterner sex, but finds its way into the kitchen, and tlie provident house wife is not unfrequently annoyed by the request of some (so disposed) neighbor, to lend two or three eggs, a little piece of butter, a part of .a cup full of sugar, a nutmeg or something of that sort, and these frequent calls came from a class that are possessed of fickle memories, and they seldom remember that they have borrowed anything, and if by chance they should be called upon to lend, are always a little short of the articles, ' ? ... ii or never ready to ao Dy oiners as tnej desire others to do by them. Now, kind reader consider this subject and act npon such decision as a sound judgment and a desire to be just will dictate.?Farm, Field and Fireside. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Look out for the single big weed. If in bloom pull up and burn. If one is in doubt about the worth of a cow, milk her. The result will speak more for or against her worth than many words can. Prompt action on the first appearance of an insect pest will often so effectually destroy it as to prevent its becoming established. A few oats, a little bran or a little oilmeal given daily just now to the weaned caJves in the back pasture or lower lot will bring interest on the investment. If you cannot see any money in growing wheat at the present price set to work to find som9 other good cr*? to partly take its place. Navy beans might be one adopted to the needs of many readers. A well-bred fowl eats no more than a common one. But it will lay more eggs nnd grow to marketable size sooner. Then, of course, there is more profit in it, and it is the best fowl for you to have. Soiled eggs do not invite customers nor bring the best prices. If you will arrange the nests so they may be closed at night, and then close them, you will do much to prevent the eggs from becoming soiled. Aconite or monkshood is a perennial weed. The root has been mistaken for horseradish with fatal results. It should be destroyed wherever found, by cutting below the surface as soon as a leaf shows above it. It is said in behalf of the English sparrow that in the regions of the seventeen-year locusts he puts in all his time in killing them for amusement. He doesn't seem to want them to eat. It is a great card for the sparrow. There is no reason why every farmer should not keep bees. Honey costs nothing, and is a valuable product, considering the price it usually brings, in comparaison with the small expense incurred in its production. The butter fat that is lost by careless setting of milk in private dairies is enormous. Paying tsn per cent, interest on borrowed capital is nothing to it. This is one of the leaks in dairying that cuts down the net profits. A simple way to remember the deference between the Virginia creeper aud the poison ivy is this: If the vine has five leaves, corresponding to the five fin<rprs of vmir hand, vou mav handle) itij if it has only throe leaves, you may not handle it. Some men would feel very much ashamed to be seen doiug the churning, or carrying a heavy jar of cream, or washing u milk pan, and about as much as if their wives should come out to pull a few weeds out of the onion bed, though they would let her spade up a flower bed if she wanted one. Good butter can.be spoiled with poor salt, as well as by poor handling. There are plenty of good grades of dairy salt, and it is a great mistake to uBe a poor salt because it is cheap. Many creamery men have found this out to their sorrow. A medium grain is more desirable than a suit in which the grain is very tine. HOUSEHOLD 3IATIERS. CLEANTKG WATEE BOTTLE?. To cleanse water bottles roll into balls some soft brown or blotting paper ; wet and soap them; put them into tlie decanters one-quarter full of warm water shake them well for a few moments, then rinse with clear, cold water; wipe outside with a dry cloth, put the decanters to drain, and when dry they will be almost as bright as new ones. Sawdust is cleansing used in the same way; cranberries, hawberries, mountain ash and hollyberries are used by country housewives for the same purpose.?New York World. FRUIT sATtrp. Mash a quart of ripe fruit, beat it, sift a cupful of sugar over it and set away; if the fruit is very sweet less sugar will be required. About ten minutes before the sauce is needed set it over the fire and stir constantly; when heated nearly to boiling, turn it about the base of the puddiug, which has been placed in a deep platter. If the pudding boiler has a tube in the centre, as it usually has, there is, of course, a hole in the centre of the pudding, and this may be tilled with the fruit sauce, which is, by-thebye, as attractive in appearance as it is delicious in taste.?

The principle of domestic sanitation* according to a well-known medical authority, requires that a house should be so built as to conform to the following rules: 1. It must present no facilities for holding dust or the poisoned particles t J: Ti :i i._: ~ zl ox disease. j.x it re wmt> uuc n ia iulvij to retain the other. 2. It must possess every facility for the removal of its impurities as fast as they are poisoned. 3. It must be free from damp. 4. It must be well filled -with daylight, from all points that can be charged with light from the sun without glare. 5. It must be charged with pure air in steady, changing current. 6. It must be maintained at an even temperature, and must be free from draughts. 7. It must be charged with an efficient supply of pure water. In such a house, according to our authority, disease will never be generated, so long as the house is kept up to its proper standard. If disease should be introduced therein it will remain for the briefest period, and after disease has left it the construction of the house will admit of its in etant and complete purification. "Take care of the house," sajs the sanitarian; *'the cities will take care of themselves." RECIPES.

"Do you know," said Mr. Man to his friend the other evening at the roof garden, "that the boys at the clnb have a merry and most distressing 'find' on me. I suppose it's cue of the inevitable consequences of renouncing bachelorhood that a man lays himself open to attack from the most unsuspected quarters. "Now, loyal citizen as I am, I have reeeived a bitter blow from the United States Government. It stabbed me, using the Dead Letter Office as a dagger. It was like this: Just a month ago at the club I wrote a letter to the girl I am going to marry. I had told only one or two of my intimate friends of the engagement, and we weren't going to announce it until fall. 'Well, as I was saying, I wrote to Alice Jevons that day at the club, and told her how fond 1 was of her. I loved her very hard that day, and I used some strong expressions; I suppose my heart ran away with my pen, so to speak. 'To make a short story a little longer, I sat down by the window to direct the envelope. I got to gazing out on the fleecy elouds floating across the blue depths of the sky, and thinking about her, as a man does, you know.

The postoffice people hadn't been able to find the girl, so they tried to send the drivel back to the one who wrote it. and their only clew was the signature and the engraved letterhead. "Well, nobody at the club could fanoy who 'Loving Tom' was, so the House Committeee opened the envelope. The first thing they saw was 'Dearest Alice,' and the first sentence was absolute insanity. Then they recognized my writing and forebore to read further." Mr. Man stopped to wipe from his brow the perspiration which sprang forth at the thought of his mortification. "Well, there's just one thing about it," he added thoughtfully, "I'll never again sign myself anytning but my full name, even if I live to be a regular Methuselah and write to Mrs. Methuselah every day."?New York Tribune.

It will surprise many to know that the plebeian pnfF ball of oar pasture* is good for something besides old fashioned styptic, smoke, and the kick of the small boy. There are a number of species of the puff ball, varying in shape and size from the small white globular variety nf an infih in diameter, and the Dear shaped, to the giant pasture species which may attain the dimensions of a football. All are edible, if gathered at the white stage, tho?e of yellow or darker fracture being excluded. Of th9 esculent qualities of the larger species, Lycoperdon giganteum, we may judge from the statement of a connoisseur.
