^IPREMARKABLE RECOVERY ,Of a Young L?<l,v of Gnsport, New York ????' From Anaemia. From thi Courier, Buffalo, JV. }'. Mi;?s Lulu Stevens, daughter of George j (Stevens, the well-known blacksmith, of Gasport, Niagara County, New York, has surprised her neighbors considerably, by not j dying five months aero, when tho physicians eaid she could not live. This was quite a remarkable case. Tho young woman, who is very well known, on _ account of her musical ability, had been a very healthy girl, until about one year ago, I when she began to fail, and grew so palo j and apparently bloodless and so weak that j .. after a few months she was given up to die. j * Last winter a physician who was a visitor ! I' at Gasport met Miss Stevens and seeing p] her emaciated condition and hearing from i e] the local doctors that the diseitse was an- j, aemia. prevailed on the girl's mother to | make her try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, j k Directly she commenced the treatment she j tl began to mend, and now since February, ' # when she decided to take them, she has be- 1 . come well and strong and the picture of ; ? food health, The mother of the girl, Mrs. s1 tevens, says: "Everyone in Gasport knows I that Pink I'ills cured Lulu, and I feel very ' . thankful that we heard of them in'time to ; save mv child's life." ' Si Dr. Williams' rink Tills contain, in a con- j w densed form, all the elements necessary to 4, give new life and richness to the blood and ' restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, j such as suppressions, irregularities and all j forms of weakness. They build up the blood, ! e, and restore the glow of" health to pale and , i sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical " cure in all cases arising from mental worry, i l( overwork or excesses of whatever nature, i tl Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose .. bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 1 ?2.50. and may be had of all druggists, or ; " direct by mail*from Dr. Williams' Medicine [ tl Company, Schenectady, N.

" The two phrases, while j ^ apparently opposite, do, in fact, sub- ^ Btantially mean the same thing. Electric Statistics.

But he can, and does, console imself by saying he never has milk ;ver with his cows like those men do ho "stuff and pamper and baby their ows." We have lost, within the past fifteen ears, several valuable cows with this isease. We think we now know how 3 prevent. A heifer with her first alf never has it and very rarely with lie second calf. A cow that is milked ontiuuously right up to calving is not able to have milk fever, at least we ave never known one to. We hesiited to write that last sentence for 2ar some one would accuse us of ad- j ocating continuous milking. That e do not, but still feel bound to state ^ hat fact. A cow that is starved, or ( jd just enough to live on, will never ave milk fever. | One way is to dry the cow .up six or ! | ight weeks before she is due to calve ( unless she is such a persistent milker ^ s to make that impracticable); at the ^ ame time reduce her feed by taking early, if not quite all, tlie grain from er. Her bowels should be kept loose, f the cow is in flush pasture, ami she 1 i oue you have reason to believe liker to have milk fever, the only safe \ av to do is to keep her upon dry feed. ire know it is hard for the man who | as been in the habit of "babying" , ml petting his cows and feeding them | > their full capacity to refuse them all ley want to eat, but it is the only ife way to do with some of them.

Poultry in Orchards. j ' Mr. Tegetmeier, the famous English | itthority on poultry, in commenting : i a a report of the Rhode Island Ex- 1 eriment Station regarding the value : f fowls to orchards, says: "For many 1 ears I have advocated the introduc- i on of poultry into apple orchards, < laintaining that they do good service, ( l two very distinct modes?first, by lauuring the ground, and, secondly, j y the destruction of insects and ( rubs that hibernate in the soil." \ The apple maggot appears to be ex- f ;nding in America, attacking the fa- ] orite Baldwin, which is so well known ( s being imported largely into this j auntry, and rendering it entirely unt for use, but the spraying the trees Jfl* "Rnv/lflftMv mivfnva on?l "PoviQ i reen lias appeared to prevent all serias ftitacks of this insect. In the mature state this insect is a I y, which deposits its eggs in the pulp j f the apple beneath the skin. The f oung maggots grow within the fruit, v hich they render worthless, and hen mature emerge from the apple nd go into the ground, lying in the j upa state beneath the surface soil mong the grass roots. Samples of 1 ue earth, six inches square, were ( iken, and the number of maggots liner the trees varied, according to the j ize, from 1600 to more than 12,000 rider each tree; the pupa somewhat ' esembles kernels of wheat. Now omes the point which was particularly f iteresting to me. The experiment * as tried as to whether poultry, if 1 ontined to a small range and encour- 1 god to scratch, would destroy these s upa. A large movable wire fence 1 as placed about a tree, whose fruit T ad been destroyed by insects. One 1 ide of the fence was raised and lifty 1 ens were called into the enclosure, 'he fence was let down and they were i onfined to the space around the tree, t Ls soon as they had eaten the corn s tiey naturally begun to scratch for n upa, and in the course of three or j >ur days it was found that the latter \ ad disappeared. As these insects re- t lain in the pupa state from the fall of a tie apple to the following spring, t hen they appear, it may be expected o lat next year the number of flies ' e MM jr-r.T.r.T.T.-r:;--.^.) - . .jj . .l.'.'.r.M breeding from the apple maggot "will je greatly diminished in the localities vhere this plan is followed. From personal experience, estendng over many years, I can speak posiively of the advantages of allowing owls and chickens a free range in ipple orchards. They not only malure the soil and destroy all insects larhoring in it, but they find, for some wAal?a ? rtA?ci/1ovoV\!o nnvfinn r\f flioir jwn food?the windfalls, which they levour greedily, with auy grubs they nay coutain. The vaisiug of poultry for sale may je much more advantageously carried jn where the land is made to produce :wo crops?namely, apples and eggs? :han where only one is gathered. . Movable Roost and Droppings-Board. "When the nests are under the droppings-board there is a greater liability )f lice multiplying, as the heat accunulated in the nests from the bodies ?f the hens iB conducive to their propagation. They go up> to the roost ind annoy the hens. The nests can:ot be easily made movable when cov* MOVABLE KOOST. jred by the droppings-boaril if the roost is also over the board.

Save early pullets for the winter ayers. Road dust is a good material to scat:er under the roots as an absorbent. Fruit and poultry make a good combination as the fowls hunt for and consume many insect pests and are the better for the exercise it gives them. Don't forget that skim milk and the scraps from the table fed to the fowls svill yield greater returns than you can possibly get from them in any other ivay. You cannot be too particular about keeping the poultry houses clean, and if you will paint the roots once a week with kerosene it will be a great aid in keeping down lice and mites. Corn-fed hogs can hardly be anything less than lard hogs, a lesson n-hicli those who are aspiring to proluce the bacon hog, with its streak of :at and streak of lean, will do well to ay to heart. ! tlhe old saying that there's more in :he feed thau in the breed, may be true n some cases, while in others the rererse is true. The fact is, that for irofit good feeding and good breeding ire both leading essentials. Among the two-legged frauds that should be given "walking papers" is ;he traveling hog cholera doctor with i "sure cure." The chances are he las more cholera germs on his boots :han his remedy ever destroyed. By utilizing . rough, bushy or foul auds as sheep pastures, we not only nay secure a revenue from otherwise expensive property, but the value of mch lands is enhanced thereby. In considering sheep as land renovators ind improvers, the term "golden hoof" !s no misnomer. The power corn-husker is no-longer m experiment; its practical utility has been demonstrated; and yet it will be i loug time ere the old huskinj-peg is aiil on the shelf alongside the Bail, for n very many cases the corn grower ;an strap on his little peg and crib his :rop cheaper than in any other way. There is a question as to whether it s best to sow timothy seed in front of )r behind the drill hoes when seeding ;o wheat in the fall. Location has icmewhat to do with the answer. On leavy clay soils we would sow behind; >n light, porous soils deeper covering s required and we would sow.in front. Because sheep will feed upon weeds md bushes, picking up much thai vould be passed over by other stock, s no reason that they should be compelled to subsist upon a starvation diet. Chey will not thrive upon bare pasures. Liberal feeding and good care ire absolutely essential to success with ilieep. The sled corn-harvester is a practical and useful tool. Of course, the )inder is better in some respects, but nore comjilicated and expensive, and Irops the soggy bundles on the ground, vhence they must be raised by muscular power, while with the sled cuter the stalks are kept in an upright position. The calves should be kept growing tnd thriving right along by feeding hem liberally during the fall. They vill eat shelled corn greedily, but nore reliance should be placed upon inch grain foods as oats and bran, vhicli build up the constitution, while oo much corn tends to injury and nay cause the disease known as black eg. Where fowls do not have a free range t is absolutely necessary to provide hem with green food of some kind iuch as green clover or vegetables, ind if these supplies are suspended ust beyond their reach so that they vill have to jump up to reach them hey will be the better for the exercise is a hen in confinement with nothing o do is apt to be a poor layer and may acquire bad habits such as feather latino. I WASHING BY MACHLW I j THE MODERN LAUNDRY HAS BECOIV A BIC INSTITUTION. I j Its Operation# Conducted in Systemat Order?An Immennc Quantity of Woi Turned Out In a Day? How the Woi I is l>one?"ejjular and Transient Trad A few years ago nearly every cii was studded with little Chinese laui dries, where the proprietor exchange a small piece of paper containing sou ! unknown hieroglyphics for each bin I die as it was brought in.

Gradually the "washe* washee man" found business slippic away from him and started an opiu; joint as an adjunct. Then the latt< became the whole thing, and the laui dry only a blind, but the celestia found themselves closed up by tb police, and they are now almost thing of the past. The amount of clean clothes turne out by a laundry is astonishing, and visit to one of them on a busy da . would cause one to think that ever family in the city was having lis wasl ing done. One well-known laundr handles no less than 2000 shirts ever week and each one of them will avei ago two collars and a pair of cuffi with other articles in proportion. There are two classes of trade, regi lar and transient, and it is the forme that the laundry seeks to especiall please. All they have to do is to g< their laundry ready and the wage calls for it on a certain de,y ever week. Some make a list of what the send, while others just bundle ever thing together, depending upon tl laundry to do the rest. The membe] of that class never complain if the think there is a collar missing, an they seldom have cause to think si The transient class of customers con prises all kinds of people, from tl liuuicky individuals who are nev< suited and change places nearly evei week, to the clerk, who runs in wit his shirt and collars on his way \ work. The young lady behind tl counter would be discharged if sL smiled when a customer handed li< two collars and a jmir of cuffs. Tho.1 who bring their laundry to the offic make out a list of what the bund! contains and mark down the day o which it is wanted. Then they ca have it delivered, or call for it, as bei suits their convenience. Many fan ilies have their entire washing done i the laundry, a low rate being made ft plain pieces, and they thus avoid th necessity of employing a washerw< man and adding confusion to the ki chen. Experience has shown that a con bination of machine and hand does tb best work and is less injurious to th clpthes, so that it is used in almost a the large laundries. Wlien the clotbc are received they first go to the markei as each customer must have a differer mark in order that the different art cles may be gathered again for delh ery. The marker also has to count th J different articles and compare thei I nriili tlip li?,t. tr> spo t.hnt. tlio lottor i I correct.

Hill in the St. Nicholas, in the series on New York's Fire Department, is devoted to i< "Floating Fire-Engines." Mr. Hill p* : say.*: ^ j With the growth of a large city, 0 j the protection of the water-front from . y | the ravages of fire becomes an imI r\f nunfn/ifinn r\T flifl Li_ | ]/UA tail Li OUUUJ Ui rnc jyjiViVUVivu j.V& v?v id I city itself. Nearly every large city in ie i the United States owes its growth to a- its nearness to some body of water, r- either lake river or sea, which offers 'd exceptional advantages for the trans)y portation of immense quantities ol I- merchandise, and also provides hari borage for all manner of craft engaged .n in this work. it This merchandise has to be stored iy somewhere during the process of loade, ing and unloading these vessels, and ig the big warehouses and wharf-buildin ings along the water-front serve this ;i purpose: but very often the most valul able cargoes are stored for a time in Is the flimsiest kind of buildings, needte ing but a spark to start a destructive o conflagration. As a city increases in size its imd portance as a freight-center grows in a proportion; and the value of freight ,y and merchandise stored along shore, y j during transit, in a big city like New I ?!. ?1_ ' xiv. 1" JLUrU) UUUI KJLLIJ UK) lUia^iUCU. i.1 \j y reasonable valuation can be given, for y we should have to dive too deeply inr /to the amounts of imports and exports 3, to get anywhere near he truth; but it is safe to say that one hundred millions i- would scarcely cover the property ex>r posed to the danger of fire, in a single y day, among the piers and wharf-houses at of New York City. n Nor is this danger confined to piers y ind wharf-buildings alone, but vessels :y in the act of loading and unloading p- valuable cargoes, the big bonded tg warehouses along the river front, the is docks for great ocean steamers, and ty the freight stations of many big railcl roads are also exposed to this risk, a. and need to be well protected, for a i- 3erious fire among them would destroy ie more valuable property than perhaps & fire nf fhp RAmfi extent in the verv y heart of the city. ;h Fires along shore are difficult ones to to handle. There is always more or ie less wind near the water; if a gale is ie blowing it seems to have twice as ?r much force on the water-front, and a *e fire once started here spreads very >e rapidly. Then fires on the piers, or le or in the wharf-buildings, are usually in very hard to fight;?although there is n plenty of water all around, it is diffist cult to apply it to good effect. The i- land forces can only fight such a fire it from one position?the street side; )r and if the wind is blowing inland it ie drives the smoke and fire directly ati j. them, and makes it nearly impossible t- to hold this position. It is here that the floating fire-engine or fire-boat can i- do its valuable work; and New York ie possesses a fleet of such vessels?three ie boats that are fully abl& to cope with 11 a fire of almost any size, whether it be >8 among the shipping, alongshore, or r, anywhere in the harbor. it * i. Supplying Pulpits. r- One of the problems the summer ! e season always presents to those inter- I ii ested in the practical working of a I [g church and the one most difficult I d to solve with satisfaction to all conh serned is that of supplying the pulpit },' during the absence of the regular mini ister. The question of pulpit supply, C-* is it is known technically, sometimes e is taken care of by the church officials, e but not infrequently it is left to the y minister, although in the latter case' e tie is apt to be hampered throughout 11 his period of rest by anxieties as to li tvhether the visiting minister is satisl factory to his congregation. i- The compensation received for pulpit h mpplying services varies greatly. As a it rule the rate is low when compared I. to the character of the churches Y i 3erved and the men who perform the U I service. Probablv the best paying s churches, as a class, are the Presbyterian an<l Congregational, their rales a running from $100 for a whole clay's b service to $5, with few at the former \ figure and a great many at the latter. Methodist churches pay from $25 to ii ?5 for a whole day's service, while among the Baptist churches the rate s is from 850 to ?5. Sometimes the ( minister has his expenses in addition i, to this, but, as a rule, the lump sum e is expected to include the whole j >j transaction. In some places no fixed i| sum is stipulated, a sliding scale be( ing in use and operated on a sliding i basis of one per cent, of the regular c salary of the pastor.?New York Press. i j Graven of the Klondike. t Althoiagh there are very few people [. in the country, one is continually suri prised at first by perceiving a solitary r white tent standing on some promiu]} ent point or cliff which overlooks the I 1 A+ firat tliiy lnnlfs ohppvflil y u.w. ... j ( and we sent many a hearty hail across | ( the water to snch habitations; but our ! calls were never answered, for these I are not the dwellings of the living, | but of the dead.
