On Friday morning. at four o'clock.

During the last two years his career
has been downward. He had taken TO
the intoxicating bowl, aud NIL his relatives
could do to reclaim him was In vain. Ho
spent fortune of some $4,000 or Sl2,-
600. All this money ho drank up In
liquor. On the 9th Of this month he was
rcjccted from prominet house In Harris
burg. having become n perfect nuisance.
He then had fits of delirium tremens, and
was placed in the county Jail for safe keep
ing. .. ..
Hc was soon after released. but was
again sent to his old quarters. This pro
gralnme was repeated several times. and
on Friday week he WAS taken for the last
time and re-incarcerated In the county
Jail. Everything that could be done to
restore and give rest to the unfortunate
mans nervous system was performed with
care. The patient was wild and incorri-
gible. Demons, hobgoblins-anything
and everything horrible haunted him.
He tore up his cot. crept under 1t, struck
ut the wall, and indeed, experienced all n

the night unconscious, about thirty-fve
years Of age. His eyes protruded from

A Few Maxims for Young Girls.

Let Your pleasure CO me in rs recrea-
tion-not rs the business of your life.
Never carry coarse embroidered or lace
handkerchiefs. Fine plain ones are much
more lady-like.
Keep your clothing, especially your un-
der clothing. in perfect order. Never let
pins do duty rs buttons, or strings take
the place of proper bands.
Avoid opcn.workcd stockings. and very
fancy slippers. Fine, plain white hose.
and black kid slippers, with only strap
or roseate in front. arc becoming.
Never make your appearance In tho
morning without having first bathcd. If
only with sponge and quart of water,
brushed and arranged your hair, dressed
yourself neatly and completely.
Train yourself to useful occupation.
Remember it is wicked To waste time,
and nothing gives such an impression OF
vanity and absolute Stiffness rs habit Of
idling and never having anything to do.
If You can. cultivate some art by which
you can earn an independent livelihood.
Do il whether there is necessity for Il

If Won want to marry, do not court

Hogs Want Sulphur.

Whether hogs require sulphur
as an essential to their health, or
whether it is sought by them as a
condiment, may not be known
with certainty. But one thing is
sure, they devour it with greed
whenever it is to be found. 1t is
for this purpose probably that
they can eat large quantities of
soft coal, which contains a large
amount of sulphur. Perhaps it
is the most economical method of
supplying hogs with sulphur du-
ring the winter, when they re-
quire o good deal of carbon
But in the summer it is better to
feed to them substances that con-
tain the least carbon, on account
of their producing less heat
Mustard is one of the best things
for this purpose, and on that ac-
count some of it should be sown
in every pasture into which the
hogs are turned. If hogs are
kept penned up, it is well to sup
ply them with wild mustard that
grows i'll the fields or highways,
or to cultivate some Of the bet
ter varieties for them. They will
eat it, leaves, flowers, seed and
stalk.

LINE ON PEACH TREES.-Mr. Bal
ley, of Ell Paso, Illinois, writes 20
the WeSteTn Rural that the appli-
cation of lime to peach trees is a
successful method of treatment !:
Il saw recently an article on lime
being injurious to peach trees. l
will here state an experiment tried
by myself on trees last spring. In
our garden there were six trees.
They all bloomed and looked we'll.
The fruit set nice, but on some
the leaves did not start. / thought
there was something wrong; on
examination the borer was there.
/ took off the bark, found the In
sect as described in the paper /;
took air-slacked lime and put it
all around the stem, then put back
the dirt. The leaves came out
and the peaches got ripe. The
trees looked well. Those where /
didn't put lime died"

Save Plenty of Tomatoes

Nothing else, except potatoes,
supplies better standard article
of food through the whole year.
Cooked with plenty OF bread
crumbs they furnish a very pala-
table and nourishing table dish,
especially from December to June,
when fresh green vegetables are
not abundant. Having some
times failed with glass jars we
now use tin cans ten inches long
and four and a half inches in d.
ameter (cut from a sheet of tin
ten by fourteen inches, and cheap
ly made. A hole, say one and O
half inches in diameter, Is left in
one end. The tomatoes, in large
quantities at a time, are cooked
well, as for the table but without
salt. They are poured into the
cans hot, and bit Of tin we'll sold,
cred on. We put fifteen to forty
cans at a time, and call in q tin
man TO do the soldering, as we
have large number of cans ready
at time. Thus closely sealed
they will keep a month, a year,
or five years. To provide against
poor year, and insure full sup.
ply always, we put them up for
one or two years in advance
Scald the emptied cans and SET
them away dry, and they can be
used several times with a little
help from the tinman to smooth
the heads.

GTYs WASHING MACHINE,
LATELY MUCH IMPRovED-AND THE NEv
Universal Clothes WTingGr

Improved with RoCeWs Patent Double
COg-scheels and the Patent Stop, are now
unquestionably far Superior to any appa-
ratus for washing clothes ever invented,
and will save their cost twice year. by
saving labor and clothes.
The Editor Of this paper, who purchased
Washer and Wringer, thus testifes as to
their value:
A FAMILY BLESSING.
We have had in constant weekly use in
our family, for about two months, DOty's
Washing Machine, and the Universal
Clothes Wringer, and after trial, often re-
peated, we can say as result OF our obser-
walton and experience, that the statements
made in the advertisement on our fourth
page, are literally true. The Machine a.
bolishes ell the hard pcOrk of washing; the
clothes, of whatever kind or texture, are
thoroughly cleaned, and the wear is not
near so much as under the old system of
washboard washing. The Wringer is also a
model of perfection. 1t will wiring gar
ments drier than can be done by hand,
tcitb no danger at all of tearing the clothes.
tits made with Rowells patent double cogs,
with the patent stop, (Which is in no other
Wringer,) to prevent the double cogs from
separating so far as to lose their power.
The general agent, Mr.. Browning, is very
safe in offering to return the Washer and
Wringer, after one months trial, if not
liked. No one, after fairly testing their ca
pacities, will be willing to do without them.
PRICES-A Fair Offer.
If the Merchants in your place will not
furnish, or send for the Machine, send us
the retail price, Washer SIS, Extra Wringer
$40, and we will forward either or both
machines, free of freight, to places where
no one is selling and so sure are we they
will be liked, that we agree to refund the
money if any one wishes to return the ma
chimes free of freight, after months trial,
according to directions.
No husband, father or brother should
permit the drudgery of washing with the
hands, ffty-two days in the year, when it can
be done better, more expeditiously, with
less labor, and no injury to the garments, by
a Doty Clothes Washer, and Universal
Wringer.
Sold by dealers generally, to whom hber-
al discounts are made.
