There is humorous as well as an

Mr.. Henry Woods, steward and chief
manager of the late Lord Walsingham,
owner of the largest and choicest South
down flocks in England, recommends for
twenty sheep suffering with the scab -
One pound of lug tobacco; one pint of
spirits of turpentine one-half pint of
spirits Of tar; three ounces of white ar
senic. This, to be safe and effectual, must
be boiled 80 as to thoroughly dissolve the
arsenic, and that be regards as an impor-
tant point. Put the tobacco, when boiled,
int flannel bag and squeeze 1t sufficiently
to get out all the strength in order to get
the full benefit Of it. Then add water
enough to make four quarts of the wash
for each sheep. 1t is not dip but wash,
and to put it on, an old teapot or q
spouted tin should be used.
The way to make it most effectual is to
open the wool by making three marks on
each side of the sheep, also one down the
shoulder, one on each side of the neck,
one down the breast, and one down each
thigh, and into the marks pour the liquid.
In this, as in many other things, if it is
worth doing at all, 1t Is worth doing well.
Rub the liquid well into the skin. After
passing 1t along the grooves, work it well
In with the hands. Be in no hurry about
it, as II You wanted to get over it as quick
ly as possible. The liquid will work
cure. There may be some spots where
the liquid has not penetrated. Examine
the sheep every two or three days for
three weeks, by which time the disease
may be expected to be eradicated. If
there are any little white spots, rub on
some of the following ointment -Four
ounces of mercury; three ounces of
of turpentine. Let them be worked
up and thoroughly mixed together, then
add about one and one quarter pounds of
lard melted overs slow fire, stirring while
melting. When taken off continue to stir
till cold, 80 as to mix the mercury well
with the other ingredients. Apply this
In fine weather, for 1t will be safer and
more efiectual. He also advises bleeding
the sheep, but this we should not recon-
mend our fiockmasters to practice, unless
In exceptional cases.

The Thimble.

The name of this little instrument was
originally derived from the words
humble, and afterwards thimble. 1t il
of Chinese invention, and was introduced
into England about the year 1895, by
John Lotting, who came from Holland,
and commenced its manufacture in Isling-
ton, near London, pursuing it with great
success. Formerly iron and brass were
used, but latterly steel, silver and gold
have taken their places. In the ordinary
manufacture thin plates of metal are in
PRODUCED into die, and then punched
into shape. In Paris, gold thimbles are
manufactured to a large extent. Thin
sheet iron is cut into disks of about two
inches in diameter. These, being heated
into a red heat, are struck with punch
into number of holes, gradually increas-
ing in depth to give them the proper
shape. 1t Is then trimmed, polished, and
indented around its outer surface with a
number of little holes by means of a
small wheel. 1t is converted into steel BY
the processes of concentration, tempered,
secured, and brought to blue color. A
thin sheet of gold is introduced into the
interior and fastened to the steel by
means of polished steel mandel. Gold
leaf is then applied to the outside and at
tached to it by pressure, the edges being
fastened in small groove made to receive
them. The thimole is then finished and
ready for use.-Fresidc Visitor.

Manifest Absurdities.

Is there any good reason why the dictates of
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practicep Surely not. Yet how literally they are
sometimes set at naught in the treatment Of dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration and general debility. How often are
powerful purgatives, emetcs and salivants given
in cases of Indigestion bilious collie and costive-
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
patient of strength he needs to combat with the
attack. The absurdity of giving facilitating med
cines to sick people who are too weak already is
SO manifest, that It is astonishing how any sane
man can believe In such practice. The rational
course under such circumstances is to administer
tonic and regulating medicine, and the exp eri.
ence of quarter of . century has proved that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the most whole
some and enicient preparation Of this class to be
found in the medical repository. 1t is, however,
something more than an invigorant and regula-
tor. Its properties aperient and anti-bilious
agent; its vitalizing and purifying effect upon the
blood; Its utility when given as an anodyne, in
stead OF laudanum. or choral, or digitalis, or
some other Supplying narcotic Its tranquilizing
tendency in spasmodic affections, and Its alata-
blity, as contrasted with the sickening pills and
potions OF the pharmacopeia, certainly entitle
Hostetter's Bitters to be called the most compre-
hensive remedy In existence.

Warren Hastings In Love.

In the ship that bore Hastings to
Madras was Baron Imhoff, who, with
his wife, was proceeding to India in the
hope of making a subsistence there as
portrait painter. The lady was very
fascinating, and very fair; she had come
to the conviction that her great mistake
in life was having thrown herself away
upon the Baron ere she really knew her
own mind. Her husband did not appreci-
ate her as she deserved. Hastings did, as he
tenderly assured her, and her confidence
and affection were speedily transferred
from the unprosperous father of her
children to the plausible and accomplish
ed politician. During the voyage he fell
Ill, and madame nursed him with the
tenderest care. The Baron locked on
and said nothing. On arriving at Madras,
Hastings suggested that 1t would be bet
ter for all parties If proceedings were ini-
tiated in Franconia for the dissolution Of
the marriage; that until then the emigrant
household should not be broken up; and
after that he should marry madame, pro-
vide for the children, and settle hand
some allowance on the baron. The terms
were accepted, the legal proceedings were
taken, the baroness eventually became
Mrs. Hastings, and the painter of por-
traits, with the price Of his conjugal
emancipation, returned to his own country.

The Potato.

No vegetable Is used 80 widely or so
commonly as the potato. But it has been
q long time in winning its way to favor,
and has been steadily improving in quail
ity by culture.
This article, of such general use as food,
was originally found somewhere In South
America, and the poorest, knottiest, most
watery potato we ever saw find its way
into the dinner-kettle, was probably bet
ter than the original seed-potate that was
taken to Europe among other curiosities
of vegetation In the New World.
The first mention we find Of the potato
Is in the writing of German botanist
named Clusius, In 1858. Two had been
sent him from Flanders, and he made a
plate of the "rare plant" for his book. 1t
was over hundred and fifty years after
this that it began to be planted for food
in Switzerland.
Everywhere it met with the greatest
opposition, Just as all the beuefactions of
the world, either moral or physical, al
ways have. PhilanthropIsts strove to ex-
plants advantages to the common peo-
pie, but they were hooted at, If not
stoned. Fields planted with them had to
be carefully watched at night, or all the
plants would be destroyed.
The people of Ireland fought very hard
against its introduction among them,
where it Is now so much their mainstay
that their country has given it its name.
1t Is stated that gentleman in France
hit on novel plan for introducing them
into his section of country. be planted
fine field and put posters all about, pro-
hibiting people from stealing them under
a heavy penalty, yet every chance was
given to steal them, and when it came har-
vest time the field had been pretty
thoroughly harvested. The result was
that the next year there were a great
many little garden patches of potatoes
about. The people had found out what
they were.
And yet, when we were told how they
were first prepared for food, 1t is to be
wondered at that they ever did become
popular. One writer speaks of the po-
tato as ga vegetable much like the Jerusa-
lem artichoke, but not as good or whole
some," and that they were to be roasted
and sliced, and eaten with sauce Of wine
and sugar. And we can imagine what
an unenviable article of food it was in
those primitive days, when we reflect
what it was fifty years ago.
What would have been said In our boy
ish days, to have had a dish of watery
merinos or "long TOMS" as they were
vulgarly called. replaced by sayory
mealy dish of the Early Rose of to-day ?
The use of the potato in Europe is now
quite general. il is cultivated in almost
every climate except the far northern. 1t
thrives in the dreary regions of Sweden,
and has been a wonderful blessing to those
European countries, which before its gen.
eral use, were often swept by dreadful
famines.-N. Y. Times.

Bad News for Bald.headed Men.

DR.. j. M. Toner, of Washington, a
physician of large experience and close
observer of facts, says that according to
his observations nearly all persons of both
sexes who lived to the age of eighty years
and over retained considerable If not q
complete suit of hair at the time of their
deaths. He comedies that there are ex-
captions to this rule, but insists that q
large majority of persons living at the
age of eighty or upward retain compar-
atively good suit of hair, or are net bald.
His hypothesis is that person who re-
tains his hair past the age of sixty-five
has a good prospect of living to be over
eighty. The rule may be tested by any
one calling to mind the ages and condi-
ton of the hair of persons of his &C
quaintance of the ages indicated, the con-
dition of whose hair is known to him.
The vast majority of persons who be-
come bald, or lose their hair, do so be-
tween thirty-five and forty-five, and these
rarely live to be over sixty-five or seventy
years of age.

An Arab Tradition.

A WRITER in the Overland Monthly re-
lates the following: "This tradition.
which I tell you," said Refs Hassein. 6 Is
many centuries old. 1t states that there
was in Paradise temple built up of
precious stones. Man dare not utter its
splenders. Deep. in the midst of the
palms of Eden 1t stood, angel built-a
dazzling sanctuary. Our first parents
sang their vesper songs in the twilight
pillsred halls, and cloisters Of emerald
and pearl. where fountains sprang aloft
in the silent noon; and long, luminous
vistas. where, hand in hand, those two
first lovers walked in sinless beauty.
Then, there were pinnacles and domes of
sapphire, blazing In the sunlight by day,
and glittering IN the starlight by night:
From court and terrace, waters welled
out, and iris-crested cascades fell down to

cool shady dells Of asphodel below; for
the temple was placed far within the pri-
yacies OF that valley of Eden, whence the
four rivers flowed eastward. However,
sad to relate, upon the day Adam fell, this
glorious temple was shattered into a mil
lion fragments, and sown broadcast over
the earth. These fragments we now light
upon and gather up with cost and care,
and call them rubies, emeralds, sspphires,
and diamonds; but they are, after al, only
the splinters of that primeval palace.
The sunset splendors and the diadems of
princes, the Milky Way in the heavens
and the spray that sparkles In the en-
tanglement of maiden's hair, are, alike,
but the costly dust of that lost SANITARY
