Has the Summer Enfeebled You?

Nine out of ten to whom this question is ad-
dressed, if they answer it candidly will answer it
in the affirmative. Some may reply to it from a
sick bed; others, of stronger constitution and
greater powers of endurance, may only expert
ence q slight lassitude as the consequence of the
torrid season. But portion of the vitality Of
all human beings oozes out of them under the
pressure of great and continuous heat, and the
sooner the loss is completely repaired, the less
susceptible will the system be to the unhealthy
influence of the Fall malaria.
The most genial and wholesome tonic that has
ever been offered to man-as means of recruit
ing his exhausted strength, and fortifying him
against the attacks of disease-is HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. Taken at-this season it is
perfect safeguard against intermittent fever,

Great Democratic Gains I'm Maine-HOw
it Is Done.

"BUT the gain is the thing, you know.
The gain shows the drift of popular senti-
ment. The gain was what the Democracy
wanted. Now, in 1867, the Republicans
had majority of 1900; this year it is
only $4,000. That proves nothing. To get
at the gain you must take the Standard
Democratic Arithmetic, published at the
World Office, and for sale at the Office of
the Age. This classic volume should be in
the hands of every Democratic voter. 1t
is what is called a UGde naecatna. You will
see by this invaluable work that you must
always subtract the larger number from
the lesser, and then average the remainder
by strict comparison with the election
returns of some old almanac, and the older
it is the better. Now, if you will please
recollect that four times five is fifty, and
that twice two makes ten, and then that
ninety four into seventeen goes six times,
and that thirty-four from twenty five
leaves eleven, you will easily comprehend
that the Democrats made great gains in
Maine. You have first got to deduct from
the so-called Republican majority of 3d.
000 about 10000 illegal votes, and to add to
the Democratic vote about the same num-
Der to cover the tare and tret Then you
must take the percentage of the gain OF

the square root can be extracted from the
difference. If you do this you will under.

An African RainStOrm.

THE following extract from the travels
of the celebrated African hunter and ex-
plorer, Mr.. Baker, recently published, will
give good idea of the great rapidity with
which transforms gather in tropical re-
gions, and the enormous volumes of water
which often fall in few hours, filling the
previously dry and arid beds of rivers,
and causing foundations of proportions
entirely unknown in more temperate
chimes.
"The cool night arrived, and l was ~
ing half asleep upon my bed by the margin
of the river, when / fapcied | heard a
rumbling like distant thunder; had not
heard such sound for months, but low,

fresh grass, green oats, and rye and sowed
corn may form considerable part I'm
doubtedly such food would be both
cheaper and healthier than diet of hay
and grain exclusively. Some roots for
winter would likewise be advisable
Grain should be ground or bruised, and
dry fodder cut fine. During the summer,
bran or middlings" fed with sufficient
fine cut hay or bright straw, to make
proper bulk, the whole being wet, could
be given in conjunction with green oats,
rye or grass. Corn and oatmeal ought to
be given when the labor and weather
should demand stimulating and nutritious
food.
Some horsemen are preiudiced against
any material but wood for horse stables
but such Judgment is founded in igno-
rance. A stable of brick or stone, unskill-
fully built or badly located, is, perhaps,
more deleterious to the horses welfare
than one of wood in similar circumstances.
A stable should be roomy, equable in tenn
perature, well lighted, dry and well ven
tilated These conditions can be secured
as readily with brick, stone or concrete, as
with wood-some of them more readily
and, in addition, there is greater durability.
A complete horse barn will have a car
riage room attached, a well of water in
side, roomy loft for storage or fodder, a
hay cutter driven by horse power, grain
bins and harness and robe room. The
harness and robes should be protected
from the influence of the stable. A sta
tionary one or two horse power for driv-
ing the the hay cutter would be both con-
venient and profitable. - RuraI Neao

rushed down the steep bank to save the
skulls of my two hippopotami, that were
exposed to dry. Hardly had they de-
scended, when the sound of the river in
the darkness beneath, told us that the
water had arrived, and the men, dripping
with wet, had just sufficient time to drag
their heavy burdens up the bank. On the
morning of the Gath of June, stood on
the banks of the noble Atbara river at the
break of day. The wonder of the desert |!
yesterday there was a barren sheet of
glazing sand, with a fringe of withered
bush and trees upon its borders that cut
the yellow expanse of the desert. For
days we had iourneyed along the exhaust

natures poverty, was most poor no bush
could burst leaf; no tree could throw a
shade; crisp gums cracked upon the
stems of the mimosas, the sap dried upon
the burst bark, sprung with the whitening
heat OF the simoom. In one night there
was mysterious change-wonders of the
mighty Nile!-an army of water was has
tening to the wasted river; there was no
drop of rain, no thunder cloud on the
horizon to give hope, all had been dry and
sultry; dust and desolation yesterday-to-

twenty feet in depth, flowing through the

Farm Implements.

Every farmer should have good, dry
house, in which to store farm implements,
which are out of place in the barn or
woodhouse. We have seen many very con-
venient wagon and implementroomsu ndel'
the same roof At any rate every farmer
should have room for implements some
where, and now that harvest and corn
tending are over, all reapers, cradles,
scythes, sickles. plows, harrows, rollers,
hoes, shovels, forks, etc, should be put
away in good order. Take off all dirt and
scour away all rust. Then grease liberal
ly. Much will also be gained by painting
the wood work of farm implements. This
can be done at small cost, and by the
farmer himself. Every farmer should
learn how to paint his own tools and i'm
plements. He should take day in Sep
tember and do his own painting. He can
do it. There is no danger of failure. He
can at least put on the paint so it will pre-
seroe the wood, and this should be the chief
object in view. But if the farmer should
neglect to paint his farm implements, he
must not, at least, neglect to place them
all in dry room, as we have recommend
ed. Leaving plows, harrows, rollers, hoes,
ETC., in fence corners and scattered around
loose in the yard, exposed to the weather
through the winter, is alike Improbable
and disgraceful. -America1a Farmers Nag

Teach Boys to Sew, and Girls to Hoe.

"Jennie T. Hazen" says, in Westera
Rur@:
1t is really good plan to teach boys to
sew, for they often wander far from their
boyhood homes-their mothers and sisters,
weary miles away; where they find no deft
and nimble fingers to stitch up rent, or
sew on button. Those boys who went
into the army, who were familiar with the
needle and thimble, Jared much better
than did those who could not take stitch
to save themselves from utter nakedness.
know a young man, who while in the
army, was the favorite of officers and the
pet and good-fellow of the regiment, SIM
ply because of his skill in the use of the
needle, and for his good-natured willing
ness to help every ragged wretch who
came to him with hideous, gaping wounds
in trousers, blouse, or blanket
Most men are ridiculously awkward
with a needle and thimble. They call
threading needle, "stringing" it, and
say" Tie knot in the end of my string,
will your" When they sew on button,
they invariably jab the needle against the
button and break the point off If their
suspenders give out, when all the women
folks are gone for week, they will tie,
pin, or hitch it up in some shape, till
wife comes home," just because they were
not taught to use the needle when they
were small boys, and are now too stupid
to learn.
Yes, I would teach boys to sew,-and
girls to hoe There is no reason why our
little girls may not be as strong and
healthy as our boys, if we will give them
the same chance; and to give the same
chance, let them have plat of ground to
cultivate, and give them hoes, rakes and
spades, adopted to their small hands and
feeble strength. Little girls take as nat
urally to flowers as ducks to water, and
will want some ground for "posy-bed.
Encourage them in this; but, at the same
time, advise them to cultivate a bed o.
onions, beets, carrots, or some other vege
tables, and assure them that whatever
they raise shall be their own, to dispose
of as they please, and that whatever they
get for them shall be theirs exclusively

Little girls, let me advise you to ask
your papas to give you a little garden o.

it, don't work in it for morning or two

Keeping Farm Teams.

THE expense of keeping the necessary
teams to accomplish farm work is serious
one, though many farmers hardly seem to
realize it. But let q farmer estimate the
number of acres required to furnish sum-
mer and winter food for his horses, and
add to the use of the land the cost oflabor
required to grow the hay and grain, and
he will be astonished by the amount. But
teams are indispensable, and the best we
can do is to adopt a system of keeping
them which will reduce the expense to a
minimum.
The introduction of machinery which
requires horse labor, and the greater va
riety of farm crops, as compared with those
of earlier times, which farmers now cult
vate, afford constant employment for the
teams throughout the year, with the ex-
ception of few winter months. When
engaged in steady labor, horses require
uniform treatment in regard to food and
hours of rest, and this can be given to the
best advantage if the animals are fed and
rested in. properly constructed stables.
There are a few weeks in the early part OF
summer-after the spring crops are sown,
and when grass is fresh and juicy, and be-
fore flies become serious annoyance
when it is advisable to let the teams run to
pasture. This outdoor range and the fresh
grass invigorate the system and promote
health. But at all other times the best
place for steadily worked farm horse, to
eat and rest, in view of health, fitness for
performing labor and expense of keeping,
is in the stable. OF course the stable
should be neither dark, close den, nor an
open shed, but such an one as humane
person of good judgment and kind heart
would build for the most honest, patient
and intelligent animal domesticated by
man. In such the horse is safe against &C
cidents which are liable to happen in the
pasture he is protected from the effect of
storms and sudden changes of tempera-
ture; his food, if of the proper kind, is
consumed in less time, consequently he
has more time in which to recuperate; he
may be at any moment under his masters
eye; he is ready. on call, to put forth bis
best efforts in labor, and the cost of his
keeping in the stable may be made less
than in the pasture.
The truth of the latter assertion some
farmers will question, but it is simply q
test of soiling, whether it is cheaper than
pasturing. Stabling horses does not
imply feeding them exclusively with hay
and grain, Their diet may be varied, and

most malignant enemies of the Union and
of equal rights, assert chat they still hate

Tense of the Constitution. Vallandigham
is nominated for Congress, Pendleton is
the chosen hero of the canvass. The
party papers that ventured to hope before
the Convention met that the party had
learned something are kicked into obedi-
ence, and pour upon Gen. Grant torrent
of indecent personal abuse; and grave
orators, like Mr.. Pugh, denounce recon.
struction as an Outrage" to be upset "
by the Democrats, and elf it means war,
let it come"
Now, in view of an issue of violent
overthrow of the laws by an Executive
elected by those who were lately in open
rebellion, and who still glory in it, what
can any sane citizen do but address him
self directly to the facts? His first duty is
to show that this issue is the rebellion
under a new face; that the Democratic
talk about taxation is merely an appeal to
one of the most sensitive public feelings
as means of obtaining power, not for the
purpose of diminishing taxes by increas-
ing production, and so making payment
easy, but by repudiating them altogether
and running the national credit. His
duty is to show, further, that this power is
sought not to pacify the country, but to
restore the late rebels to the control of the
Southern States, and to disable the loyal
population there. In word, it is his
most urgent duty to show that the whole
Democratic policy is to undo, as far as
possible, every thing the war has
done, and to restore the intolerable situa-
ton of affairs before the war was begun.
And this is what the Republican party,
by its orators and papers, is everywhere
showing. They state incontrovertibly
that we must first determine whether the
reconstruction decreed by those who won
in the war shall stand before we consider
what the next step shall be. In free
country when a party enters upon can
vass with the declaration that, if success
full, it will set aside the most vital and
comprehensive laws by force, it raises a
simple issue of civil war; and those who
permit themselves to be diverted to minor
issues, and do not see that this involves
all other questions of interest and
"pocket," are, however honestly, the
Bourbons who learn nothing, and the
Antediluvians who didn't believe there
was going to be much ola shower. After

Anecdotes Of Dogs.

A sAGACIoUs dog at Holyoke went every
morning to market for his master. On his
way home crowd of hungry dogs would
come snuffing about him, intent upon get
ting his delicious steaks and marrowy
Joints, and snarl and bite at him because
be would not yield to their demands. He
could not fight them all, thus encountered,
and would not put down his meat lest it
should be stolen.
After being thus harrassed for many
days, he made up his mind to put stop to
such annoyances, for, to the great amuse-
ment of crowd of men and boys, he sat
down his basket in safe place, and pun
ished his tormentors 80 efectually that not
dog in town dared to modest him again
Another dog in the same town seems to
have had less regard for his masters rights
He used to ride out with him, sitting bolt
upright upon the seat by his side, and
when desired would hold the horse as well
as his master.
One day Mr.. Lucas dropped his whip
by accident, and upon discovering his loss,
put the reins, as usual, into Ponto's teeth,
and ran back to recover it. just as he
stopped to pick it up, Ponto, in spirit of
Mr.. Lucas called out "whoa whoa" and

Ponto cheered on his steed by barking

behind to walk home at his leisure. 1t
amused Mr.. Lucas, in the hight of his
vexation, to see how perfectly delighted
the dog was with the success of the trick
he was playing upon him.
"Our Watch" said Miss Selden, "was so
shrewd that when my brother or the hired
man got up early of a cold winters morn

and after smoothing the clothes up nicely
