Girl LOST

The Bloomington Pdntdgraph contains
an advertisement of information wanted
of a little girl, cnly eight years old,
named Ada Bell, and publishes the fol.
lowing concerning the manner in which
she was lost:
"The family live on rented property
The father of the lost girl had been
spending his tine and money in dissi'
patton, and had neglected to pay the
rent. The landlord, Mr.. c., became
enraged at this neglect, and went, III
the fathers absence, and threw the
household furniture ont of doors. The
mother went to look for another shelter
for herself and little ones, and during
her absence the landlord took a stick
and drove the children FROM the house
who, in their fright, ran away, separa'
ting from each other, since which time
little Ada has not been heard from. We
confess that it is humiliating to know
that any such a mouster walks oul
country in human form"

Scrapiug Apple Trees.

a farmer residing in the western part
of Massachusetts, had, many years since,
an old orchard, many of whose trees
were encased in very rough coating of
bark. Their productive days seemed to
be over, and the owner was counting on
a good supply of firewood from them the
ensuing winter. 1t was suggested to
him that if the bodies of the trees were
well scraped an improvement in yield
might result from the operation. Some
twenty of them were subjected to q Wig
orous application of the hoe and the
rough coating thoroughly removed,
The ensuing season showed a marked
improvement in their production, the
credit of which, whether correctly or
not, was assigned to the operation OF
the hoe. The experiment is easily made
and the cost but trifing, even should il
fail of rejuvenating the trees operated
| upon.

During recent visit at the residence
of Robert j. Swan, of Geneva, n. Y, he
informed us that he had kept his cur
rant bushes entirely free of the currant
worm by the use of coal ashes. Hea ap-
plies them in spring by covering the
ground about each bush four or five
inches deep or more, for a distance OF
two feet or more on each side. The
mechanical sharpness of the ashes pre-
vents the soft larve from rising through
them. Although the season of fruit had
passed when We saw the bushes, they
showed great thriftiness, and uninjured
leaves.
Inc same application was used about
neSquince, with equal success, for ex.
ctuu!ng the borer-the ashes being in
the form Of small heaps about the stems
From twelve bushes, he gathered thi.
year sixteen bushels of very fine

DO Not Trifie With Danger.

A slngle spark may kindle a fame that will
consume city and small ailments neglected,
may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in
mind let the first symptoms of debility or nerv.
Gus 1Fostration be met promptly with invigorat-
| ing treatment. Foremost among the vegetable
tonic of the age stands HOSTETEER'S SToM-
| ACH BITTERS, and whenever the vial powers
seeuito languish or there is any reason to sus-
pect That the animal functions essential to the
sustenation and publication of the body are i'm
perfectly performed, this invaluable invigorant
and sntiseptic should at once be resorted TO-
Indigestion always produces weakness. Some
time it happens-and this is mora frequently
the ease in Winter than at any other season
that the appetite demands more food than the
stomhch can digest; though not more perhaps,
than is required to keep up the full strength OF
the frame. The object under such circum.
stances, is to increase the digestive capacity OF
theassimilating organ, so as to make it equal to
the duty imposed upon it by the appetite, and
capable of supplying the building material Of the
syStepI as fast il is required. This object is
fully accomplished by the use of the Bitters.
TheJ tone and gently stimulate the cellular
men1brane which secretes the gastric juice, and
the result is that the solvent is mingled with
the food in sufficient quantity to convert all its
noufishiRg particles into pure and wholesome
element. If, on the other hand, there is n def
cheney of appetite, without any corresponding
deficiency Of digestive power, the effect of the
touie is to stimulate desire for food. In nine
teen cases out of twenty, headache, nausea,
nsrs BUSINESS fainting- fits, spasms, and, indeed,
most of the casual aches and pains TO which hu-
manity is subject proceed primarily from indi-
gcstion complicated with biliousnessi and for
both these complaints HOSTETTERS STOM.
ACH BITTERS are recommended as n speedy
and certain remedy.
