FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. I
Construction of Barns.
That manure which is kept under
cover till carried to the held is much
more valuable than that which is exposed
to the sun, wind and rain, a correspondent
of the World says, has been
proved by numerous experiments; yet
farmers will so construct their barns that
their stable manure must be thrown out
of doors, where much of its plant food
is destroyed and lost. That the liquid
manure of animals is worth nine-tenths
as much as the solid is admitted by
good judges; yet farmers will so construct
their barns that from one-half to
the whole of that manure is lost
That there is much hard work on a
farm and not a little that is disagreeable, j
fiverv farmer knows: vet farmers will so
construct their barns that th re will be
more of both than there need be. That
it is unhealthy to live partly or wholly
underground, needs no argument to
prove ; yet farmers will so construct
their barns that their cows must thus
live most of the time that they are fed
in the stable.
Whereas, if farmers would so construct
their barns with a cemented cellar
or basement under the stables for manure,
that would then be kept under
oover till wanted, and oould be drawn
out whenever convenient, all the liquid
manure would be saved, the stables
oould be more thoroughly cleaned in
one fourth to one-third the time and
with much less hard, disagreeable work
than it would take to wheel the manure
into the yard, and could be done just as
comfortably in stormy as fair weather,
aDd their cows would have a dry and i
healthy stable.
To wheel the manure of forty head of
cattle three or four rods from the stable
takes ten or twelve days longer every six
months the cattle are stabled over night,
than it does to drop it through the floor,
to say nothing of the hard, disagreeable
work of wheeling it through the mud
or snow or on a line of plank to the
heap.
A tight stable floor, one or two small
windows on each of two sides of the
oellar, and a ventilator from the qpllar up
through the roof, will prevent any odor
rising from the manure into the stable.
The benefits of cellars or basements under
stables for manure, and the objections
to keeping cattle in them, are like
the goods the merchant advertises for
sale, too numerous to mention."
Poultry far Market.
Raising poultry for market, says the
&km, is probably as profitable a business
as ordinary farming, but is seldom con
ducted ou a large scale with anything
like as much certainty. If a large number
of fowls are kept on a small area of
land diseases are pretty certain to appear
amopg them, and if they do not, experience
has shown that the egg product decreases
in proportion as the number of
fowls increases, if all are allowed to run
together in one flock. There is no good
reason why a man may not keep 10,000
as well as one thousand or one hundred
fowls, provided they are separated into
small lots and each given sufficient range
to insure health. But it will seldom be
found profitable to keep more than one
hundred in a flock, even when eggs are
not taken into consideration. : Many a
man has found his twenty-fi*e ?to fifty
hens very profitable, but on increasing
the number to one hundred, profits disappeared
and losses ensued. The poultry
business should pay fifteen to twenty
per cent, in the vicinity of New York
city, but we very much doubt if it does,
exoept where raisers keep fancy breeds
and sell at fancy prices for breeding pur
Doses. " J

How to Cubby \ FavOb.?Take the
half of your favor (a wedding favor will
l>e found the cheapest) and well scrape
it; then gently fry it a nice brown, or,
if preferred, a light Indian ink. One
minute before you take it up throw in a
saladspoonful of disinfecting powder
and two ounces of lip salve. Stir well
for three-quarters of an hour, and serve
up hot in pewter pots with bread crumbs.
This dish will be found a most excellent
substitute for black pudding for

your youngest male child when about
three years old. Let him have everything
he wants ; let him make as much
noise as ever he likes; let him eat and
drink as much and whatever he has a
fancy for ;. give strict instructions to his
papa, his big brothers, sisters, visitors,
and servants that he is never to be punished
in any way for anything he may
do, and never even contradicted in any
thing he may say. By the time he
arrives at the sweet age of seven, your
youngest male child will be a very nice j
pickle.
Getting Rid ! Stamps.
Some one, not long ago, started the
idea that sulphuric acid would totally
destroy stumps. An auger hole was to
be bored in the top, filled with sulphuric
acid, and plugged. In a day or two the
stump would be eaten up, even to the
very roots. I tried the experiment and
failed, only a small portion of the stump,
at the top, being affected. The following
method I tried and found it to be a
Serfect success : In the autumn bore a
ole one or two inches in diameter, according
to the girth of the stump, vertically
in the center of the latter, and about
eighteen inches deep. Put into it one or
two ouDoes of saltpeter; fill the hole
with water and plug up close. In the
ensuing spring take out the plug and
pour in about one-half gill of kerosene
oil and ignite it. The stump will smolder
away without blazing, to the ver^
extremity of the roots, leaving nothing |
but ashes.

Lost Women.
An exchange commends the following I
fchnnahts to the tmblic Has it ever
occurred to you what a commentary upon
r our civilization are those lost women, and
the attitude of society towards them ? A
little cnild strays from her home inclosure,
and the whole oommunitv is on the
" alert to find the wanderer ancr restore it
to its mother's arms. What rejoicing
when it is found, what tearful sympathy,
what heartiness of congratulations!
There are no harsh comments
upon tired feet, be they ever so miry.
No reprimand for the soiled and torn
garments, no lack of kisses for the tearstained
face. But let the child be grown
into womanhoodlet her be led from it
by the scourge of want; what happens ?
Do Christian men and women go in
quest of her ? Do they provide all possible
help for her retain, or if she re- j
turn of her own notion, do they receive
her with such kindness and delicacy as j
to secure her against wandering ? Far 1
from it. At the first step she is denounced
as lost?lost! Echo, friends
and relatives?we disown you; don't
ever come to disgrace us. Lost,
says society, indifferently. How bad :
these girls are ! And lost?irretrievably
lost?is the prompt verdict of conventional
morality, while one and all unite
in bolting every door between her and
morality. Ah ! will not those lost ones
be required at our hands hereafter?
Centennial Notes.
The British commissioners have received
a telegram from their secretary
abroad announcing that four crews of
four will visit Philadelphia to oompete
"at the Centennial regatta.
There are two enormous lumps of
zinc ore, one weighing 8,000 and the
other 5,000 pounds, on exhibition on the
Centennial grounds. They were mined
near Bethlehem, Pa., and are exhibited
by the Lehigh zinc company.
A Pittsburgh firm has a structure of
elaborately wrought sheet iron, within it
being specimens of almost everything
that has ever been constructed of that
article. This feature is confined principally
to the exhibits of marble, pottery,
iron and cabinetware.
Two derrisks, each seventy-two feet
in height, have beeD erected on Elm
avenue, opposite the main building, by
parties who will, during the exhibition,
use one of them for exhibiting the process*
for boring an artesian oil well,
being determined to keep on boring
while the great show lasts, even though
they must penetrate to the depth of
3,000 feet; and the other, that of pumping
from a flowing well.
Sweden and Queensland will each give
a complete illustration of its latest geological
survey- The interior of the sectional
structure of the latter is lined
| with paintings representing pioturesque
scenery and the nature and structure of
strata. The Egyptians have begun ar-'
ranging piaster oasts from the monuments
erected to their monarchs who
died prior to 1800 B. 0. The furniture
of their pavilion will hardly be excelled,
or even equaled, by any at the exhibition.
Much of it is of sycamore wood,
carved in the ancient Arabic style, and
inlaid with mother-of-pearl, ebony, ivory
! and silver, the whole of the work being
! done by hand. There are also large
brazen trays, engraved with sentences
expressing Arabic religious sentiments,
the work being so fine that the labor of
many months was required for the oom|
pletion of one trey.
Gold Mining in the Black Hills.
Oolonel Dodge has published a small
work on the Black Hills region, describing
the physical features of the country,
the soil, timber, climate, etc., and giving
much information respecting the
precious metals supposed to be deposited
tViAro Thftm is ?rold in the hills, no
! doubt, but how much is yet a question.
The author thinks it is no place for poor
men. The mining is of such a nature
that it requires capital to carry it on
profitably.
It has passed into a proverb that
" plaoar " miniDg is the poor man's diggings,
while " qcartz " mining is only
for the rich. Placei mining in the Black
Hills will not pay the poor man, unless
he be a "heathen Chinee." He may
make a little money by securing a claim,
selling it out to a man or oompany who
has capital to buy up many claia s, then
looking for and securing another claim
with the same intention and result. This
is a poor and precarious foundation on
which to base a living. No man can
make more than the barest wages by panworking
a single claim in the Black
Hills. The placer mines, as well as the
quartz mines, are here only for the rich
man, and I would advise no poor man
to go into the hills with the expectation
of making money by mining himself.
Of course, he may be fortunate enough
to strike rich diggings and do well; but
as a general rule he will make more
money as day laborer for some wealthy
man or company than he possibly can
by working for himself on a single
claim. The reports of the enormous
wealth of the placer mines in the Black
Hills are the most barefaced fabrications,
got up by miners who wish to sell their
claims. Money is to be made here by
men who have sufficient capital to buy
up claims along the creek, sufficient to
warrant the expense of dams, ditches,
and all work necessary for hydraulic
mining. If they have already the means
of oc mfortable livelihood, poor men had
better stay at home, unless prepared to

position that the Black Hills will, sooner
or laier, be opened to the miner. Under
present circumstances, in addition to the
disadvantages mentioned, he is liable
at any moment to be arrested by the
troo-js and sent from the hills a prisoner.
A Merchant's Start in Life.
When the late A. T. Stewart reached
his majority he returned to Ireland to
receive his patrimony, upon the interest
of which he had been living in New
York. Before starting on his return he
spoke of the object of his oontemplated
visit to Ireland to Mr. Chambers, then
well known as a buyer at auction for
several business houses in New York
city.
" How much is your patrimony ?"
asked Mr. Chambers.
"About $10,000,1 suppose," answered
Mr. Stewart.
" A snug little sum. What do you intend
doing with it?"
"Invest it here and live on the income."
" You can do better."
"How?"
" Go into trade."
" Nonsense. I know nothing about I
trade. I can't even buy a hat or a pair
of gloves without getting some one else
to pick them out for me.
" Stuff," ejaculated^ Mr. Chambers.
44 3>o as I tell you. Uo to Belfast and !
buy insertions and scallop trimmings, i
Spend all your fortune in them and you |
will double your morey."
Arriving in Ireland, Mr. Stewart
found that his patrimony had been
diminished to $5,000 by bad speculations
of his guardian. This circumstance
led him to adopt the advice of
Mr. Chambers, and when he returned to
New York his entire patrimony was invested
in insertions and scallop trimmings.
The two friends determined to
go into business together, Stewart actio g
as salesman while Chambers made the
outside purchases. The first difficulty 1
wtis in finding a storeroom suited to
their purpose. They looked through
Pearl and Hudson streets, the centers
of the retail trade at that time, but j
found the rents too high for them.
Finally, No. 283 Broadway was advertised
44 to let," the rent demanded being
$875. This was considered too high
also, but it was determined to take the
g)ace, and this is the way A. T. Stewart.

Filling Up Space.
A young man who left the Alleghanies I
a few weeks ago to fill a situation in i
New York, got an idea that some address
ctixds would help him into high-toned
society. He left his order with a printer,
and in due time received his cards.
Aiter a little reflection he took them
back to the office, and remarked:
41 Seems to me there's a good deal of
blank space on these cards. I don't see
why you can't put the picture of a horse
over the name, and you might have a
ship or a plough, or some such thing, in
each corner. It looks wicked to waste
bo much spaoe!"

A Riot in Ireland.
A desperate fight took place in the
streets of Limerick recently. Messrs.
Bntt and O'Shaughnessy, members of
Parliament for the city, had announced
their intention of addressing the people
from the base of O'ConnelTs monument.
A procession numbering some thousands
consequently marched to the plaoe. A
bodv of Nationalists, armed with sticks,
&ho had previously taken possession of
the monument, attacked the piooession.
The Nationalists were overpowered,
after a fight in which many persons were
badly injured. The police and military
were under arms, but abstained from interference.
The London Standard's correspondent
at Limerick says the Home Rule
procession numbered 4,000, and oonsisteJW
the trade guilds with bands and
banners. Messrs. Butt, O'Shaughnessy
and O'Sullivan occupied a carriage in
the line.
The Nationalists were only a few hundred
in number, but they were well
armed with stones, bludgeons and
knives, and had evidently drilled for the
fight The Nationalists in the first onset
succeeded in smashing the musical
instruments and destroying the banners
of the Home Rulers, but they were at
last driven into a public house, which
was completely wreaked. The cause of
the riot was the discontent of the Nationalists,
who form a remnant of the
Fenian party, at what they declare to be
the utter neglect of the Home Rule
question by the so-called Home Rule
leaders during the present session of
Parliament.
Over one hundred persons were wounded
in the riot, of whom, forty were seriously,
and six, it is feared, fatally injured.
At the meeting Mr. Butt spoke hopefully
of the prospects of the cause. He
pointed to the efforts of the party during
the session to obtain reforms in connection
with parliamentary and munioipal
franchise. He declared if Ireland had a
native Parliament to foster Irish indus
try Ualway and -Limenca wouia eacn
have transatlantic packet stations. '
"The Baghdad Plague.
The news from the city of the caliphs
is not reassuring ; the plague is increasing
there, and at latest reports thirty
new cases and ten deaths were reported
daily. This figure is already large in itself
for a city of hardly one hundred
thousand inhabitants, for such is now
the population of Bagdad, which counted
in the ninth century two million inhabitants.
But the worst feature of the
plague resides in the facility with which
it may be liable to spread m the neighboring
districts, and even in southern
Europe. This is to be feafed, especially
now, for this is the season of the religions
pilgrimages made by Moslems to
their shrines, and by Roman Catholics
and orthodox Greeks to Jerusalem.
Moreover, the sultan is strengthening
his army in Herzegovina with recruits
from his Asiatic provinces, around Bagdad
and along the Persian gulf, as well
as the eastern Mediterranean* shore. The
city of the caliphs was often devastated,
and notably in 1831, by a plague brought
by a handful of Indian pilgrims, just as,
in 1720, a single infected ship caused
the appalling plague which almost destroyed
Marseilles.
Wanted to Enjoy It,
The late A. T. Stewart, in the selection
of his paintings, invariably chose
those which united with a large and
prominent figure subject bright and
striking colors. At one time a few
artists and private friends met at his
house to examine a new painting by (
Meissonier, which had just arrived,
having been painted by Mr. Stewart's
order some time before. In the oourse
of the conversation Mr. Stewart remarked
that in his opinion the colors were
too light. In reply, one of the gentlemen
said that Meissonier painted for the
future; that the colors would become
brighter by age, and in ifty or one hundred
years the picture would be much
more pleasing than if bright colors had
been used. Mr. Stewart's reply was
clwracteristic: " But, oonfound it, I
dmrt expect to live fifty or one hundred <
years, and I want to enjoy it now."

they are shorter and stouter than the

well developed and very active. The
next day, when he revisited the field, ;
they had disappeared, although but the
afternoon previous the ground seemed 1
diva with them. !
Why it is Dom.?The reason why
people say "Dom Pedro" and not

In Spanish the title is 44 Don," in Portuguese
it is 44 Dom." In each case it
is derived from the old Latin word

from the juices of the most valuable roots and
herbs tbeir active medicinal principles, which,
when worked into little pellets or granules,
scarcely larger than mustard seed, renders
each little pellet as active and powerful as
a large pill, while they are much more palatable
and pleasant in effect.
Dr. Ira A. Thayer, of Baocmsburg. Ohio,
writes: " I regard your pellew as the best
remedy for the conditions for which yon prescribe
them of anything I have ever used, so
mild and certain in effect, and leaving the
bowels in an excellent oondition. It seems to
ire they must take the plaoe of all other cathartio
pills and'medicinda."
Lyon & Max>mber, druggists, Vermillion,
D. T., say: " We think they are going to sell
like hot cakes as soon as the people get acquainted
with them and will spoil the pill
trade, as those who have used them like them
much better than large pills." *

Dr. SCHENCK'S STANDARD REMEDIES
The standard remedies for all fflmw of the lnngs ere
Schxhci'b Pulmonic Syrup, Schxkcx's Sza WBd
Tome, end SCHXJfCl'b Makdxaxx Pills, end, if teken
before the lungs ere destroyed, e speedy cure ia effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia,
owes his unrivaled saooess in the treatment of
pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter In the
longs; nature throws it off by en easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe e slight ooush will
throw it off; the patient nas rest end the tones begin to
heeL
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenok's
Mandrake Pills end Schenck's See Weed Tonio most be
freely used to cleanse the stomaoh end llrer. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills act on the llrer, removing all obstructions,
relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, end
the llrer is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant end
alterative; the alkali of whtoh it ia oompoeed mixes
with the food end prevents soaring. It assists the digestion
by toning op the stomach to a healthy oonditlon, so
that the food and the Pulmonic 8yrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will sorely
get well If care Is taken to prevent fresh oold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenok, either personally
or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner of
Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenok's medicines are sold by all druggists throughout
the country.

MESSEX BETH W. FOWLE A SONS:
Gentlemen?I feel It my duty to write a few worda la
favor of DR. WIBTAR'B BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY. In the early part of last winter I took i
severe oold, and shortly afterwards a rtlafi seeing ooogfc
waa added to It My frienda did everything they oonld
for me, bat without avail. The beat phyaldana that
oonld be procured did not relieve me. and my oougfa
oontlnued with me all through the winter with Ineraea
Ing severity. I spit blood three or four times a day. aad
my frienda considering my eaee hopeleea, gave me np at
a confirmed Oontwnptivc. I was in this oocdltton when
I heard of 1&. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY. I began Its use, and before I had taken
half a bottle of It my oough and all my other troubles
left me. and I waa cured. I feel so truly Indebted to
this great remedy for what It baa done for me that 1
end yon this voluntary testimony, hoping It may be the
means ofdndoolng others who are suffering as I was to
make use of It. It Is the beet remedy for Lung Complaints
tbat I ever beard of, and I am oonstsatly reoommendlng
it to my friends.
Yours with respect,
