AN ARTICLE OF MERIT.-@Brown's Bron-
chial Troches" are the most popular article in
this country or Europe for throat diseases and
coughs, and this popularity is based upon real
merit, which cannot be said of many other
preparations in the market, which are really
but weak limitations of the genuine troches.

of Moving Machines.

A gentleman Of experience gives as
his opinion that good moving ma
chine will save farmer, upon an aver
age, one eighth of his crop of grass,
aside from the fact that s'haying is
done" much sooner, and thereby great
saving must be made. He says the
average height Of grass is about six
teen inches, and that a machine mows
an average, two inches closer than the
scythe, thus saving two inches Of grass
over the whole surface Ifa man cut for
ty tons of hay with moving machine,
he saves five tons of hay, as he would
not have got but thirty-fve tons with
the scythe. Calling hay worth, upon
the average, $S per ton, there is saw
ing of $40 year in hay, to say moth
Of labor. Thus the price of the NOW
ing machine is saved in three years
no inconsiderable item. But this is a
small item when compared with the
saving in labor and s'the wear and tear
of the disposition in swinging the
scythe through hot foreneen. Com
mend us to the mower, as a labof-sav
ing machine over all others invented
for the use of the farmer.

How to doup Shirt Bosoins.

We have often heard ladies express
a desire, says an exchange, to know by
what process the fine gloss observable
on new linens, shirt bosoms, etc, is
produced and in order to crafty them,
we submit the following receipt for
making Gum Arabic Starch: 'sTake
two OF. fine white Gum Arabic powder,
put it into a pitcher and pour OH it a
pint or more Of boiling water-accord-
ing to the degree of strength you de-
sire-ahd then having covered it, let it
set all night. In the morning pour
carefully from the dregs, into a clean
bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A
tablespoonful of gum water stirred
into pint Of starch made in the usual
manner, will give to either white Or
printed lawns a look of newness, when
nothing else can restore them after
washing. Much diluted, it is also good
for thin muslin and bobinet.

Who Killed Abel?

Mr.. Lindsay told a good story at the

lowing occurred at University of
Virginia, between a teacher and new

me who killed Able $50

Teacher-Well my little dear, do
not be afraid+Awho killed Abel?
Scholar-T'he Yankees.
Teacher--O no, Johnny, we are not
talking about that, do you not know
who killed Abel? .
Scholar insisted it was the Yankees.
Teacher-No, my son; Cain killed
Abel. Now remember, think of sugar
cane; I am going to ask you about it
next Sunday. Think of sugar-can
Next Sunday the boy was attacked
again:

Headed Off by His Wife.

A distinguished candidate for a high
office of trust in certain State who is
''up to thing or two," and has keen
appreciation of live beauty, when about
to set off on an electioneering tour, re
Gently said to his wife who was to ac-
company him for prudential reasons
''My dear, inasmuch as this election
is complicated, and the canvas will be
close, am anxious to leave nothing
undone that would promote my popu-
larity, so have thought it would be a
good plan for me to kiss anumber OF
the handsomest girls in every place
where may be honored with public
reception. Don'tyou think that would
be good idea p? .a-essE ~
Capital exclaimed the devoted
wife "and to make your election sure
thing, while you are kissing the hand
soonest girls, / will kiss an equal num-
Der of the handsomest young men."
The distinguished candidate, we be-
lieve, has not since referred to this
pleasing means ofpopularity.

Training the Tomato.

In eultivating the tomato in large
market gardens, the plants are usually
pinched before their final transplant
ing, and they are then left to grow
without any support, but in small gar
dens, not onl y is greater neatness OBJ
served by taking some pains to train
the plants, but the fruit is improved
both in quantity and quality. There
are several methods of training. One
Of which, if not altogether the simplest
is one of the neatest, is described by
Mr.. c. M. Childs, of Hancock county,
Illinois. :
GAS soon as the plants are large
enough, transplant to rich, light soil,
one i'll hill, and at least five feet apart
each way. AT least once week, scoop
the earth away from around the plant
and pour ON a quart Or more of soap
suds. When the plant commences to
branch, cut off the outer branches
this will have a tendency to increase
the size of the stock and cause it to
grow bushy. After the plants are six
teen to eighteen inches high, they should
be provided with frames. I make mine
by splitting standards from pine boards
five and half feet long, and sharpen
their lower ends. To those standards
are nailed Stats made by saving four
feet laths into three pieces. The
frames are made sixteen inches square,
mailing the lower Stats at fifteen inches
from the bottom Of the standards, the
upper ones at the top, with others mid
way between the two. Frames made in
this way have been in use five years,
I and with little repairing will last some
years longer. When the branches eX-
tend beyond the Stats and over the top
Eof the frame, clip them, leaving one
leaf above the fruit stems, and contin-
ue to do this throughout the season.
The plant trained thus and showing its
ripe and ripening fruit, forms most
beautiful object, and one tomato grown
in this way is worth dozen as usually
cultivated Last year I had twenty
four plants, from which I gathered al
| abundance of fruit for table use and
canning for family of five persons
besides distributing from five to sis
bushels among my friends No ono
need to be afraid of using the knife
freely, as there is no danger that the
plant will not fruit abundantly In my
eXperience the difficulty has been tc
keep it from fruiting too much. ."-7h,
