now NOT TO RESTORE THE GRAB TO THE
TREASURY.
Treasurer Spinner holds that senators
and representatives sending their checks
to him for the amount due under the in

part with their legal title to the money,
and if they should demand return, or
institute proceedings for its return, they
would be very likely to succeed. On

Extract from a letter from Mrs. J..
G. Aldrich, Wauseon, Fulton, Co., O..
R. P. Hall & Gentlemen-Please
send me one dozen bottles of our Sici-
liam Hair Remover. Our bald and gray,
do not want to be out. My mother is a
living recommendation of the results
from the use of the Remover Being
almost seventy years old, and having
worn a wig for over thirty years, it
seems a miracle to those who have
known her SO long SO bald, and what
little hair she had being perfectly white
now her wig thrown aside, her hair
grown out, and a glossy brown as in
girlhood. Hoping you may long con-
tinue to pour blessings on the heads of
the afflicted, remain yours truly"
Such evidence, with the Endorsement
of tue great chemist of New England,
DR.. A. A. Hayes and S. Dana Hayes.
should satisfy any one, which of the pre-
parations produce the best results.

Managing q Husband-The Danbury
Mode,


A hot-tempered Danbury woman who
finds considerable trouble in persuading
her husband to furnish kindlings, and
then is obliged to do it herself, read in
religious paper, Monday, of how a
wife induced wicked husband to be-
come one of the most affectionate and
hopeful of men by being invariably
calm and loving with him. The story
made a deep impression upon her, and
when she started the fire that noon, she
put pair of rubbers among the wood.
Then she tied handkerchief across her
nose, and went on with her work. When
the husband reached the gate he paused,
fetched a sniff that made a hole in
the atmosphere, and then went around
to the back of the house, and fetched
another sniff that had an equally dam
aging effect on the atmosphere. He
stared into the next yard and up at his
own house, and felt in his pockets, and
was about to go around to the front
again, when his wife thrust her head
out of the window and said, "Why
don't you come in the house, you old
fool ? Come in and get your dinner,
and let me read an article to you from
the Christian Secretary, you old rip.
Come in and see how nice it is to gel
dinner with nothing to burn but rub
bers, you whited sepulcher. Come III
here, tell you, before I lose my tenn.
per, and say what L oughtn't to-" Al
this invitation he went in, going upor
the stoop and to the door very slowly,
but on opening the door, disappeared
inside with marvellous suddenness. The
neighbors say he was cutting wood al
that afternoon, and thinking of the re

Desperate Fight of Maniacs,

An old lady, eighty years of age, re-
siding in Providence, r. l., visited the
insane asylum at Taunton, Mass, in
company with her daughter, on We'd
nesday last, to see her son, who has for
some time been an inmate on account of
insanity, from the effects of wound re-
ceived during the war. The Providence
Journal says that on arriving the mother
was shown into the reception-room,
where were several more lady visitors,
and one OF two patients, and the son
was brought into the same room, when
the attendant went out and locked the
door. There happened to be in the
room at the time a lady who had gone
there expecting to secure the release of
her husband, but for some reason he
could not be discharged on that day.
This was great disappointment to the
wife, but the effect upon the husband,
when she told him, was terrible. He
ragged about the room in fury, smashed
up a handicapped table, and had par
TALLY demolished clock, when the sor
of the old lady, who had been quiet ur
| to that time, became excited and at
tackled the infuriated husband. A rough
and tumble fight ensued, which must
have been frightful to witness, and the
feelings of those women, shut up in G
room with two infuriated insane persons
and unable to escape, can be imagined
After a little fighting the husband, will
piece of the furniture he had been de
molishing, or with his fnger-nails, Gu
or scratched the forehead of the son
making frightful cash, from which th'
blood flowed copiously, and then catch
ing him by the throat he choked him til
his face turned purple. The old lady
seeing her sons danger, went to tn
rescue, and after a severe struggle sue
ceeded in making the husband let g
his hold. Fortunately the attendan
came in and stop was put to the pre-
ceedings, though it required five me
to secure the disappointed and infuriate
husband and put him beyond the powe
of doing harm.

The hunters make it rule never to

is to stand perfectly still, even though
the animal crouches to make a spring
that spring will not be hazarded if the

motionless as statue, and look stead

rises slowly, retreats some steps, look

How to Keep Winter Apples.

The following excellent suggestions
are offered by the Vermont Farmer:
The way that most farmers save their
winter apples is to hole them up, like
potatoes, or pile them up in cave or
cellar. By this method you not only
lose much valuable time, but lose very
many apples; and what you do keep
over winter are in bad condition. APP
pies may be kept in barrels that are
quite open; but the best and cheapest
way is to keep them in crates or boxes
made in the following manner The
ends or head pieces should be ten or
twelve inches wide by fifteen or eight
cen long. They can be sawed or split.
Nail your boards on the bottom and
sides, leaving places for ventilation.
Have your boards all the same length
about three feet. "When you gather
your apples from the trees put them IL
these boxes Cbe careful not to bruist
them) and lay the boxes on each othel
in your apple house. Two men vii
handle these boxes with ease. You cal
! look your apples over in these boxes a
any time with but little labor. Whel
you are ready to ship, just nail boar'
over the top and you areready. In thu
way you get your apples to market il
good condition and handle them bu
once. Keep your house as cold as pos
| sible at all times without freezing"

An Old Pensioner Dead.

A North Carolina paper records the
death of Nancy Harris, a colored
woman, at the age of 11O years, at her
home in Swift Creek township, that
State, on the 10Th ult., and says: Her
funeral, which took place from st.
Johns Baptist) Church on Sunday,
was largely attended by both white and
colored people. For eighty-two years
she had been member of the Baptist
Church, and through long life of con-
sistent piety had won the confidence
and esteem of the white people of the
neighborhood. Up to her death she
drew regularly pension from the
United States Government, her husband
having been soldier in the Revelu-
tionary war,"
