Medical Virtues of the AppIe,

A writer in the Country Gentleman
says "Of the medical virtues of the
apple have not the least doubt. Con-
stipation of the bowels can be entirely
avoided by judicious use of them. Eat
ing too many is not the way, however, as
many seem to think. Too much of any
good thing, you know. When many are
eaten, their medicinal virtue is, in
measure, destroyed. They should be
eaten regularly and in place of other
food. I favor the raw state for we'll
person. When to be given to conva-
lescent should prick them all over with
pin, then heat them hot in the oven,
enough to soften, not reduce them to
pulp. Apples baked in sugar or eaten
with sugar are much more apt to cause
acidity of the stomach"

BERLIN is growing very rapidly, and is
now one of the finest cities in Europe, in
style resembling Paris, with broad
streets and wide sidewalks. No house is
allowed to be erected within the city
limits except with fire-proof stairways
and, during the progress of building,
the contractor is compelled to cover the
sidewalk with timber, so as to prevent
accidents to passers-by.

now TO MANAGE RUNA WAY HORSES

no W TO MANAGE RUNA Wa Y HORSES
The New York Times makes these sug-
gestions on the above subject Always
stick to your horses so long as they are
fast to the carriage. If Il line breaks or
the bits give way, step out of the fore
end of the carriage, even when the team
may be running, take hold of the harness
and spring ON the back of one of the
animals. Once astliIe of horse, one
can reach forward, grasp his nose, and
soon check his speed. When horse is
running toward you, as he comes up,
stand so that he will be within reach as
he dashes past then make calculations
to seize the reins near the bits with one
hand and to grasp the name or the top
of the names with the other hand. A
man may expect to be carried twenty
rods but If he will hang to the reins
horse will soon stop.
We saw fine horse running away
few days since, with wagon and load
of barrels. After passing hundreds of
persons who tried i'll vain to stop him, n
lad sprang to the rear of the wagon as it
passed, climbed up among the barrels,
went to the forward end, and the lines
being on the ground he stepped along on
the thills, got on his back and stopped
him before he had run one-eight of
mile. The numerous accidents in conse-
quence of horses running away suggest
the eminent Importance of teaching
them the monosyllable, whoa A horse
is never half trained or half educated
until he has learned that whoa signifies
to halt. But, in the first place, team
sters must be educated to employ that
word at no other time than when it is de-
sirable to have team stop. When the
word is used let it be spoken with full,
open and sound voice.

A DANRURY young man who was once
clerk lately went on farm to work.
The first night in his new position he
was detailed to remove calf from the
apartment of its parent to another shed,
and while engaged, as thousands have
been before him, in showing the contra
ry beast along, the mother reached I'M
der the tails of his coat with her horns,
and suddenly lifted him up against the
roof of the building with a force that
threatened to shatter every bone in his
body. The first thing he did on return
ing to earth was to rub himself the
next thing was to throw up his place.
He said he didn't doubt that agriculture
was noble pursuit, and that the farm
err needed an assistant in the discharge
of the multifarious duties, but he didn t
believe the Creator designed him for
making skylights in cow-sheds. -Dan-

Curing Hams.

The following recipe for curing hams
has been tested for many years in Mary
land: Two and half pounds saltpeter
dried and finely powdered, half bushel
best Liverpool salt, three pounds brown
sugar, and half gallon molasses. Mix all
in vessel, rub the meat we'll with same,
and pack with skin down. The above is
the exact amount required for 1000
pounds of pork. After being in salt three
to four weeks, take out, wash the pieces
clean, dry, and hang up for smoking.
Three weeks is sufficient to smoke them
thoroughly-by fire made of hickory
wood. When smoked, take down and
bag, or pack away in dry chaff OF cut
straw. Examine them occasionally, and
if found to be at all damp, renew the
packing with dry material.

THE most matter-of-fact story of q
ghostly interview that we remember to
have seen for a long time comes to us
from Des Moines. A young woman at
breakfast said she was sorely troubled
by dream, and continued: "My little
niece came to me last night and says,
'Aunty. have come to bid you good
by. am dead. / said: No, Agnes,
you are dead, and took hold of her.
Yes, L am, she repeated. Il died at
- o'clock tonight, and have got to be
in heaven at o'clock, and said, Good
by, aunty, and disappeared" At noon
news of the death of her niece at mid
night came.

To Beatltify Teeth.

Dissolve two ounces of borax in three
pints of boiling water, and before it is
cold add one teaspoonful of the spirits
of camphor, and bottle for use. A
tablespoonful of this mixture, with an
equal quantity of tepid water, and ap-
piled daily with soft brush, preserves
and beauties the teeth, extirpates all
tartarous adhesion, arrests decay, induces
a healthy action of the gums, and makes
the teeth pearly white.

.SMiLL-POI CTRE.

OUR st. Louis friends, as well as
others infected with smallpox, will be
pleased to learn that certain families in
Huntsville, Ala, during the prevalence
of the disease there, found the tea of the
cimicifuga recemosa, or black-snake
root, otherwise known as black pohosh,
to be an efficient preventive of small
pox. Dr. g. ID. Norris stated, at meet
ing of the Alabama State Medical Asso-
citation, that in the families using the
above named root there occurred no
case of smallpox, though some were
exposed to the disease. Dr. Norris vac
cinated the members, but without effect
SO long as they continued to use the
black-snake root tea. After ceasing to
use the tea he again vaccinated them,
when the specific effect of the vaccine
virus was produced. The subject is
well worthy the attention of the medical
profession, as the impression is becom-
ing widely prevalent that vaccination
does more harm than good.

Milking Cows.

A correspondent of the Rural Home
says "Cows usually become addicted
to kicking when heifers, from being
MIXED by abusive mixers. l never seen
an oldcow become akicker unless abused.
Instead of cows being averse to being
MIXED when giving large quantity, l
have ever found it the reverse. When
pasturage is good, and COWS come home
at night with udders distended with milk,
they seem grateful to have it removed.
Milking heifer for the first time re-
quires patience, for they will almost in
variably kick. In such case, put n
broad strap around her body, Just in
front of the udder, and buckle it up
moderately tight, and as soon as she gets
quiet, for she may dance around a little
at first, take your pail, sit down and go
to milking, for she is as helpless as a
kitten. Do not attempt to use rope
instead of strap, for it will not answer
This is a much better method than tying
the legs, ETC., as it does not hurt the
animal in the least. A few applications
OF the strap, with plenty of patience and
kindness, will cure the most obstinate
case"

The worst shocked man we have seen
in some time was citizen who made the
discovery Friday that the neighbor from
whom he had borrowed paper for the
past four years had not paid for it. He
learned the facts from the agent of the
publisher, and he was grieved. He was
also indignant. He said to us "To
think that should have been SO impos-

COTRT THEN TRICALS.

The disposition to turn New York
courts into second-class theaters seems
to increase. For some time past it has
been customary to have woman con-
venient to deliver a "piercing shrek
when the verdict of guilty is announced.
On recent murder trial the wife and
child of the prisoner were brought in,
that their weeping might heighten the
counsels plea; and few days ago Scan
mel, ON trial for numbering Donahue,
went through a mock exhibition of in
sanity Now, the trouble about this is
that it is all one-sided. The prosecution
has as much right to dramatic effects as
the defense. Let the bloody garment of
Caesar be displayed on trial. Let the
murdered man be exhumed and brought
into court, cory with stabs, mashed as
to his skull, or with neck discolored by
strangulation If we must have court
theatricals, let the fair thing be done,
and both sides be represented.

DEi THBED VISIONS.

1t is historical fact that Rev. Joseph
Buckminster, who died in Vermont in
1912, just before his death announced
that his distinguished son, Rev. J. S.
Buckminster, of Boston, was dead. 1t
afterward turned out that his son had
breathed his last about the moment his
father made the announcement. The
Eaton (Ohio) Telegraph of the present
week tells the following incident, which
may be takeu as parallel to that of the
Buckminsters: son Wednesday morn
ing last, at o'clock, Gen. John Quinn
breathed his last. But few moments
after that, Joseph Deem, who also died
on the Nth, aroused from his sleep and
said to his son John, who was at his
side: John, Gen. Quinn is dead To
this John said: l reckon you are mis-
taken, father; you have been dreaming ;
/ guess Gen. Quinn is not dead He is
not even sick, but goes down town every
day for his mari Yes, said Father
Deem, / know he is dead l. and he had
scarcely finished speaking till Benjamin
Heman walked in, about o'clock, us
was his habit, and said to them: 'Gen.
Quinn is dead!' What is strange about
it is that Father Deem did not know of
Gen. Quinn's illness, and, in all proba-
bility, had not heard his name men,
toned. '-R"tl0ad OI) Htruid.

The last words of George Driver, VIII
was executed in Chicago the other day,
for the murder of his wife, constitutes
one of the most thrilling and impressive
temperance lectures, embraced in a few
words, we remember ever having read.
Taking in his two hands the rope which
was to strangle him to death, and hold
ing it aloft in the presence of those who
had assembled to witness his execution,
the condemned murderer addressed
them in these significant words ::
whisky did this for me. When any
of you take drink of whisky hereafter,
think of this pc and remember my
fate"

The island of Barbados is more
thickly settled than China, with her
3OO,OOO,OOO. With a superficial area of
only about 1875 square miles, without
any large towns, without manufactures
of any description, purely agricultural
colony, she actually supports popula-
ton of $4,000 souls, or over 1854 to the
square mile. To find the means of sus-
tentation for this cooped-up mob of
people, she has brought under cultiva-
ton nearly every inch of her 106,4 40
acres of culturable land and to the SUI
perfcial observer she presents an aspect

passed in any other part of the world.
