4F MYSTER1IUS FATALITIES, What Is - It That is lling so Many Prominent Men. The death of Kaiser W ilhelm, ox Gov. Hoffman, Banker J. W,' Drexel, L!out.-Gov. Dorsheimer, Dr. Carpen ter,.Chief-Justice Waite and Genl. B. H. Brewster, in quick succession, and all from tlh' rame cause although hav ing dif:im a.t i.in-, is startling. March an April te fatal -months, not only for consumptives but also for many diseases iore disguised but none the less fatal. Gov Hoffman had heart disease, Gov. Dorelielmer, apparently a strong, well, robust man, over six feet high, sickens and dies in four days of pneumonia. Chief-Justice Waite meets the Same fate and he wifs :)ppa:rently the perso: ifcatiot of vigor. Drexe4, the Philadelphia banker, and Brewster, Ex-Atty, Genl. were ard denly cut off in the midst of great use fulness, by Bright's disease, and Dr. Carpenter, the well-known New York physician, suddenly died of Kidney dis ease, tiever lving uspqectecd that he was troubled therewith. This reminds us of the ca.le of Dr. Frank Hawthorn, of New Orleans. He was lecturing before the Louisiana university on the peculiarly deceDtive character of Kidney disease and the methods of misoroscopical and chemi cal tests. After having shown specimen after specimen of diseased fluids, and made very clear the point that kidney dis ease may exist without the knowledge or suspicion of the patient or prac tioner, with gracious self-confdence he remarked, "Now, gentlemen, let me show you the healthy water of a strong, well man." He applies the test! He staggers! "Gentlemen, I have made a terrible discoveryl "he gasps," I myself have the fatal Bright's disease!" In less than a year the specialist of the commonest and most fatal of diseases was dead. le % as a victim of advanced ltidny disease the presence of which in himself he had never suspected I L. B. PnIcE , 1. D., a gentleman and physician of tihe high( st standing of llan over C. H1., Va., tour years ago, after try ing every other remedy for bright's dis nace, including famous mnineral waters, cure4 liniselt by Wvarner's Safe Cnro, and Mlarch 24, 1883, wrote: "[ have never had the slightest symptoms of ny old and fearltl trouble." Mit. .ToItN DouGHEtv, of Concord, N. I1., was given up with B3right's disease by the best. physicians ini 1879. Hie was ilt a drearlful state. After usiig and being cured in 1881 by Warner's Safe Cure, in 1887, l:m wrote: "I an better than ever." JOiN COLEMAN, ESQ., 100 Gregory St., 1New Ilaven, Coan., was first taken sick in 1873, gradtally ran down uttifi lie had proni(ouncetl liriglit's isease,hettmattHn and all the other decepilve siu-s of kid ney disease. The best physicialls in New Haven could do nothing for hin. Ilie then begat using Warner's Salo Cure, 200 bottles of which ho at his fatuily have used atd h o is cured. W. T. CRAwFORtD, proprietor St. Charles iotel, Rict.ino11i(, Va., and well known all through the Solth, several years ago was in the deathiagotty from kidney die ease, convulsionis and bright's disease. The best. Philnlelphia specialists in such (Iiseases pronoutwied hii practically dead and inuetrable. Everything else failing, hie took Warner's if Cure abudant,l1y and regularly, until fully restored to heailth, anda niow lie says, "'After a lapse of inany years I atu as sound as a dollar, with tiO syitiptotus5 of mny old trouablo. I owe nmy lifei to WVarnor's Safe Cure." Kidney dilsease is the most deaep tive, the most universal, the most fa, tal disease. If the most learned men cannot know without the use of microscopical and chemical tests that t.hey have kid -ney disease, hoto much moire liable is thc layman to be, tmi&nowna to himself, 'il the very jats of dea(th, who -does not feel as well as formerly, but who does not think anythIng specially ails him, and wvhose physician may assure him that lie will soon be "all right." In these days, peop)le recognize that it Is wiser to prevent disease than to await its arrival t.o cure it. When you know that you may be in the greatest peril and not have atiy idea of the fac4t from any defined set of ill-feelmngs, the wisest course to pursue is to followv the counsel atid experIence above outl inedh, and Ltoroughily renova'ae the system, cleanse the blood, torte the nier-ves and insure your own life against these common, niysterious fatalities. Dr. Laudle'r BruntonL, lhas employed strychnmie in insomnia froem "ovea tired ness" wvith ver-y happy effects. lh says that it ocurred to him that aE strychine is one of the most powerfLI stimulants, if not the most powerful nervous stimulant, that we possess, it small dose of it might have the effect of bringing the de,ressed nervous systerr up from the condition ot over-fatigut to that, of simple fatigue, tihus induc ing sleep. lie found that it acted ex actly in the manner that lie had expec ted, and induced conifortable, hiealthy sleep, without aiiy disagreeable effeti next day. The way in which lie has used it has generally been either in the form of the tincture of liux vomicf in (loses of five to ten miinims or ir the form of granules, containing 1 2( of a grain of sulphate of strychinin( each. One, two or more of thesE granules were given at bed-time, and the dose was repeated if the patieni happened to awake wit,hin one or tw< .hours afterward. Dr. B3runton thiinkt it very doubtful whether strychnine would answer in other cases c1 sleeplessness than those arising froir overwork or worry, and more especiall3 from overwork. Fr',ofessr- .2ieaelef, In Engineer-ing has advanced the theory that petroleuu is of mineral orim, and that its pro duction Is going on, and may continue almost indefinitely, lie has succeeded In making It artificially by a simhlai process to that whIichi he believes ii going on in the earth, and experts find It Impossible to distinguish betweetn the n)atural and the manufactured article. .IIls hypothesis is that water finds its way below the crust of thl eat t'*, and thon meets with carbides o1 "eietais, partIcularly of iron; in a grow. ng ,ttato. The water is decomposed into' its constituent gases; the oxygen unites wit, iron, while the hydrogen takes up the carbon, and ascends to a higher region, where part of it Is con densed into,miinei-al oil,anid part remainei -as natural gas, to escape where it can find an outlet, or to remain stored at great pressure until a borehole shall be put down to provide It a passage to the surface. Oil-bearing strata occurs i the vicinity of mountain ranges, and it is supposed that the upheaval of the hills has dislocated the strata below -su(~lleuent.ly to give thle water access to debthis frocm which it, is ordinarily shut out, /If the centre of the earth con tain large amouts of metallic carbides, we have in prospect a store of fuel against tue days when our coal wIll be HOUSEHOLD. PREsERVED PAVIES OR APRi CoTe.-Paro the peaches, cut them in halves, removing the stones. Allow one pound of granulated sugar to one pound of peaches, crack one quarter of the stones, extract the. kernals and re move the dark skins; boil them in suffi cient water to cover them until soft; let them steep in a covered bowl until needed; place the poaches and sugar altoinately in layers in.a lined saucepan; let it warin un slowly, strain and add the water and the kernels. Let them boil slowly until the peaches are clear and tender, which mill be in about half 'au hour. Skim them out carefully and lay them on large flat dishes; boil up the sirup for fifteen minutes, until it is clear and thick, skimming as fast as the skum rises. Fill jars two-thirds full of the preserved peaches, pour on the boiling strup. When cold place tissue-paper oa the pots and cover again with stout pa+per. STRAWnERRY J AM - Tako some strawberries and fully ripe currants, in the proportion of one pound of currants to six pounds of strawberries, and for every pound of fruit allow three-quar ters of a pound of sugar. Oarfully pick over and mash the currants, and 1 for e ich pound of them add one gill of water, place in a preserving kettle over the fire and allow to boll up once. Now after having carefully hulsed the straw berries, add them and press all through i hair sieve into an earthenware pan. Put the sugar into the preserving ket tIe, adding one gill of water for each pound of.sugar, and boil it until it is of the consistency of thick molasses. Now add the puli,ed fruit, and allow all to remain over a brisk fire for twenty minutes, stirring constantly on the fire. Now skim, pour Into glass jars or tum blers, and when perfectly cold cover securely as for strawberry proserves. TuE woman wl;o said that her motto i is "In health prepare for sickness," may have taken an extreme view of a I coming calamity, but it is wise to have enough of this spirit to prepare some f things for use if needed, or, if you are so fortunate as to escape sickness in f your own home, some neighbor may need your kind ofices. A very refresh- I ing drink may be prepared when you are putting up fruit. One is likely to have more juice than she cares to put Into cans. To each pint of this juice I add sugar enough to sweeten well; t there should be a pound of sugar to a f pint of juice. Let it stand all night; E in the morning boil for ten minutes; f skim and bottle it, putting sealing-wax C over the cork. Currant juice is excel- I lent put up in this way. EOILED SQUASH. - Peel a large squash or two small ones, cut them in 1 pieces about an inch square, put them over the tire in salted boiling water, 3 and boil them until they are tender; in the meantime for three pints of squash mix together over the tre a tablespoon ful each of butter and flour, and stir them until they are brown; then grad- t ually add a pint of boiling water and a high seasoning of salt and pepper.when this sauce boils set it aside until the squash is done;after the squash is drained from the water in which it was boiled, put it into the hot brown sauce, and serve It at once. TOMATO SAUCE. - One gallon of green tomatoes, six medium-sized on ions, four tablespoonfuls of salt, one tablespoonful of cloves, one tablespoon ful of black pIeppelr, one teaspoonful of mace, one gill of white mustard seed, vinegar. Chop upI the tomatoes and onions. and add the spaces. Paick down in stone jars 1111 the vegetables come, within four inches of t,he top. Fill up1 with best vinegar. JF only a very little quantiy of gran ulated honey is put into liquid honey it will all be granulated in a short time, so barrels or vessels which have held granulated honey will, if relled with liquid honey, soon causeit all to become solid. In the same way scctions whichI have been p)artially filled one season and the uncap)ped cell granulated, will, if used another season, make all the I honey granulate. CREAM OARE.-One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, whites of two eggs, three and a half cups of flour, one cup of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of cream tartar. Fori the cream: One pint of sweet milk| sweetened to taste, yolks of three eggs; thicken withi flour to the conaistency of custard, -flavor with lemon. This amount makes t wo good-sized cakes. SLAw DRESS[NO.-lleat toget,her to boiling point in a stew pan a gill of vinegar andl an ounce- of butter. Stir In an egg wvell beaten and a gill of sweet cream. Seuson to taste and pour over finely chopped cabbage. Another way is to mix together a gill of water and a gill of vinegar; thicken with half an ounce of flour. Cook two minutes; add an ounce of butter and sweeten to taste. CREAM TOM1AT'O SoU.-Take a knuckle of veal and a heef bone for soup, boil slowly wvit.i some celery for one hour. straini and add a can of toma toes. Cook half an hour, Strain again. Mix one tablespoonful of crack ers, powdered, with a cup of cream in a bowl, add to it some of the soup, mix thoroughly and pour all back into the p)ot. B3o1l a few minutes gently and seuve. STRAwnEIRRY SIRUP.-Take four pounds of the best double refined sugar and one quart of filtered strawbierry juice; put them together in the bain-. mile; stir until thoroughly dissolved, take oi! the skum and bottle, In my opinion the flavor of this sirup may be heigzhtened by the addition of a gill of orange Juice to the above quantity. CUcUamnERs peeled and boiled until soft are served with ch;ckens roasted. Season the cucumbers just as you do summer squdtsh and add a very little sweet cream. Serve in a vegetable di1ah or put around the chicken on the platter as a garnish.. YOUNG IWr.-Wash, but do not cut them, as t his destroys their sweet ness; put them on to boil in water, enough to cover them, and let them boil until the-y are perfectly tender; then take them up, peel and slice them, and season wIth salt, pepper and a lit tle melted butter. Later they are treated as a salad, or with vinegar and without butter. GREEN PEA SOUP.-Four pounds of beet, one-half peek of green peas. Cut the beef into small pieces and boil slow ly'Tor an hour and a halt. Half pn hour before serving add the shelled peas, eensonl with salt and pepper and add a little thickening; strain through a col. ander hafore serving, FARM NOTES. Tun preparation of the soil for the eception of. s'ed is more important ,han after-oultivation. If the ground te plowed, pulverized anti harrowed tot only . will the soil be rendered fine out the air and warmth will enter. L'he moisture is also more easily re. aied in a finely pulverized soil, and if onstant cultivation be given, to pre rent baking, much of the danger of Irought may be avoided. With some rops the diffe:ence of a few days tart, after the growing season Phal1 ave begun, is sometimes so marked as o ahow its effect throughout the vhole season, and the better the condi Ion of the soil for the seed the fairer he chances for -an early start It .is vell known that, ufter the passing of he spring rains, and when May b 'gins, he prospects for a dry season are always ;ood, though droughts do not happen very year. The capadity of the oung plants for withstanding the, rought will depend upon the stage of heir growth at the time. 'Ihe greater he advance made and the larger and nore numerous the roots the better the lant will be prepared for deriving noisture and passing through a dry >eriod. To secure this healthy growth aid glve the plants a good start the oil should be made fine and friable by onstant harrowing until every lump nd clod shall have been broken, it hould be in such a condition that even he smallest seeds could be able to aslly push through after germinating, L'here Is also skill required in planting. 3ome seeds will quickly perish if sovered too deeply, and the depth will lepend on the fineness of the soil. ,orn will push through quite a depth f covering, and so will all large seeds, uch as beans, peas, etcl, but the fine, mall seeds of carrots, parsnips, lettuce mud turnips need only early enough to ude them, On soils that easily bake he depth should be less than that for eeds in a light sandy soil, for until the lants shall have appeared no assistance an be given in the way of loosening the oil. When seeds Hhall haVe been broad asted,and the soil shall bake before the ppearance of the seede, the fine-toothed arrow may be passed over the field; ut, If not too late in the season, it vould be better to wait for a rain. As n early start is half the progress, the ultivation should begin as soon as the lants shall be large enough to be seen id It will usually be found that this rat early 4cultivation will impart, reater benefit to the growing crop than ny other work that may be bestowed luring the season. The cultivation, owever, Is more thorouthly done vhen the soil has been carefully pre ared before seeding, and the labor estowed In the beginning will save abor later on.. Now is the time for ultivating the crop and pushing the oung plants, ACCOIDING to the Arnerian Agricul urist, all that is required for a smootb vaterproof face on the rough founda ion wall of a house is to make good trong sand and lime mortar, and then nix into It, in small batches as used, ne shovelful of cement to six or eight f the mortar. When the fa"e of the vall has been made straight and moot.h with this, put on a thin coat of entent and line sand, a'lding coloring natter 1ff desired. To lay the 'ace of in blocks, stripe with a brush efore the mortar is thoroughly dry.' IN addition to Its value for feeding, lover is one or the best crops for ree ormng the fertility to the land. Its 'cots penetrate deep, and thus bring ourishment to the surface that the rdinary grasses do not reach, and as hey have been found to weIgh 8,000 ounds to the acre when dried, It will eadily be seen what an amount of natter is left in the soil when the pias ure is plowed up. The decay of this mdds largely to the fortility of the soil, mud on this account clover Is made use f on land that has been rendered un roductive by constant cropping. A FORTY Or fifty pound lamb ready or sale in May does not come up of its iwu accoird, says the Journal of Agri ulture. Linseed meal is good for t,he amub and the mother also. Cotton eed meal is also good, but Iff the feed ng be generous a good mixture with ~he linseed wouldl be preferable. Lambs ntended for early market may be al owed all they will oat of this mixture, vithout fear of othier than good re mIts. Fine clover hay cured bright! md sweet, and second crop clover well sured, are good for both lamb and lam. MANY farmers claim that if a large potato with all eyes cut out but one be planted a larger per cent, of early marketable potatoes will lie produLced Lnan if the seed had been cut or small potatoes planted whole. A study of this subject was made at the Wisconsin AgrIcultural Experiment Station last season with four varieties, the result in each case having been in favcr of the large prepared seed. Other experi ments also showed that results are best when fresh-cut seed are used. THlE future pig must h ave more flesh and less fat. It must not be a mere lard keg, it must be fed upon flesh forming foods until grown and thou fattened. it means that more clover, p'eas. oats, milk and such articles of dilet must be used, and less corn. We will then have health and more palata ble pork, and hog cholera will become a thing of the paist. I1ow to be successful in planting trees ? DIg broad holes and deep' holes, and pack fine, rich , moist sur race soil firmly about the. previously moistened and properly pruned roots. if there was a spark of life and ambi tion in the tree when planted, it will fairly delight you by its rapid growth. To make hens Jay, says an exchange., put two or more quarts of water in a kettle, and one large seed pepper or two small ones, then put the kettle over the fire.
