CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunnerS of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tiOns, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring

The Signs of Madness in Dogs.
To the RSttor OF the New York Express:


The British Nedical Joulmal calls attention
to the measures recommended by the Council
of Hygiene, of Bordeaux, for the better pro
lection of the people against the dangers OF
hydrophobia The madness of dogs has q
pc .Od which is premonitory and harmless
If these periods were generally known, the
dogs could be put out of the way before they
become dangerous. On this subject the Coun
Gil of Hygiene has issued the following in
structions
A short time, sometimes two days, after
madness has seized a dog, it creates symp
toms in the animal which it is indispensable
to recognize:
/. There is agitation and restlessncss and
the dog turns himself continually in his ken
mel. If he is at liberty he goes and comes
and seems to be seeking something; then he
remains motionless, as if waiting; then starts
bites the air, as if he would catch fly, and
dasLes himself, bowling and barking, against
the wall. The voice of his master disslpates
these hallucinatons, the dog obeys, but slow.
ly, with hesitation, as if with regret.
g He does not try to bite he is gentle, even
affectionate, and he eats and drinks, but gnaws
his litter, the ends of curtains, the padding OF
cushions, the coverlids of the beds, carpets &c,
3. By the movement of his paws about the
sides of his mouth, one might think he was
trying to free his throat OF a bone.
4. His voice undergoeS such change that
it Is impossible not to be struck by it.
5. The dog begins to fight with other dogs.
This is decidedly characteristic sign if the
dog be generally peaceful,
The three symptoms last mentioned indi.
cate an advanced period Of the disease, and
that the dog may become dangerous at any
moment if immediate measures are not taken.
1t is best to chain him up at once, or, better
still, to kill him.
The Boston MedicI and Surgical J0urn0!
suggests that this advice be inserted at least
once year in the public papers. 1t would
that these rules should be printed on the
backs of the notices and rec"iipts for dos
taxes. These excellent Treasures ought to be
generally adopted

Does the Clearing of Land Diminish the Rain
fall?

Prof. Daniel Draper, Director of the Cen
trail Park Meteorological Observatory, takes
occasion, in his annual report, to correct a
false impression very generally entertained
by the pubic-that the clearing of land d.
FINISHES the fall of rain Comparing the
reports OF raintalls from the year 1885 to 1872
II appears that, while during this period the
average rainfall was 47G2 inches, the average
for the last three years of this period was
4706 inches. The results appear fully to
justify Prof Diapers conclusion that " the
widespread public impression that the clear.
ing of land diminishes the volume of rain is
not founded on fact" He adds, furthermore,
that although in the last thirty.six years great
changes have been made in all those portions
of the United States intervening between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic Ocean, large
surfaces having been cleared of forests and
their physical aspect essentially altered no
corresponding diminution in the mean amount
Of water that has fallen can be traced This
opinion seems also IN accord with that of
European meteorologists, who assert that the
mean rainfall on the western portion Of that
continent varies little, if at all, when periods
Of many years are considered. These opinions
seem deserving of especial consideration,
owing to the fact that the records upon which
they arc based extend back to the year 1871,
in England; 1141 in Scotland; and 1891 in
Ireland; while in Paris the annual rainfall
was not found to have altered in one hundred
and thirty years.

To DESTROY Worms on FRUIT TREES
Mr. J. G. MalliCk writes to the Farm J0uraai
to give what he designates as :" a sure kill for
worms and borers on fruit trees" He says:
Take one gallon of soft soap, one quart OF
salt, one pint Of spirits of turpentine, one
pound raw tobacco, and boil all except the
mrpentine together, and while cooling add
the turpentine, and when cool wash the trees
thoroughly about the roots and up to the
limbs, and it will kill and expcl every worm
The washing should be done in May and in
August.
The above wash will not only kill and ey
pei the worms but it will give the bark of the
tree a beautiful and healthy color; and for
old trees there should be added two ounces

We see on almost every farm, all over the
land, old bones scattered around as though
they were worthless. In many places, per
sons are doing good business by gathering
these bones and selling them. Every farmer
or fruit grower should prepare place to save
the bones. Instead of giving large bones to
dogs to carry off and hide, put them in a
boneboX and make them useful. few
pounds of bones are worth as much as a
wagon load of barn yard manure. The far
mer may ask, " How shall get the richness
out of these bones?" In the first place when
YOU prepare your leach to get lye, for making
soap, put the bones in the bottom of the leach
after you get all the I've out of the ashes take
the bones out; all of the softer bones will now
mash up very easily, but those that remain
hard must be ground in a corn and cob mill,
if you have one; if not, you can mash them
with hammer; the finer they are ground the
better they are. You now take this bone dust
and sprinkle very little of it about anything
that you want to have grow fast; be sure and
put but little to Il plant, as this is very
powerful fertilizer
The I've that these bones have been boiled
in is also a very powerful fertilizer; it may be
diluted with water or sOapsuds and applied to
the ground, near vegetables as it is too pow
crtul for them. | use 1t altogether on my
pear trees; | dilute it about onc-half with
,oapsuds, and, with the stub Of an old broom,
| apply it to the bodies Of the trees BY this
means keep the body of the tree clean and
bright, and the substance all goes to the roots,
which will make the tree grow and beartruit

Bones can also be prepared by burning
them until they can easily be mashed. This

SAwDCsT FOR STABLEs.-A correspondent
OF the London Field says: litter the horses
on it to depth of nine inches, raking off the
damp and soiled surface every morning, and
spreading evenly a little fresh, removing the
whole four or five times year Its advanta-
res appear to be many, of which / will state
few which give it, in my estimation, its
greatest superiority over straw. 1t is much
cleaner, and more easily arranged, and, of
course, much cheaper at first cost, making,
in the end excellent manure. 1t is peculiarly
beneficial to the feet, affording them a cool,
porous stutfing, substitute for the soil of the
earth we always find in the hoOfs of a horse
at grass, and presents the nearest resemblance
10 a horses natural footing, the earth We
never had diseased foot since the intro
aluctiOn of sawdust in the stable, now some
years since. Horses bedded in sawdust are
lrecr from dust and stains than when in or
binary litter, simply because sawdust is
better absorbent perhaps, and testify their
approval of it by frequently lying down for
hours in the day. 1t has also the recommen-
dalton of being UNBEATABLE, an advantage
which all in charge of horses with the habit
OF eating their litter will admit.

IMPURITY OF DRINKING WATER.-Set q
pitcher of iced water in a room inhabited
says writer in T0-DaN and in a few hours
it will have absorbed nearly all of the per
spired gases of the room, the air of which
will have become purer but the water utterly
filthy. This depends upon the fact that wa
ter has the faculty OF cOndensing and there
by absorbing nearly all the gases, without in,
crcasing It's own bulk. The colder the water
is the greater its capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature, Il pint OF
water will contain pint of carbonic acid gas
and several pints Of ammonia. This capaCi
ty is nearly doubled by reducing the temper
ature to that of ice. Hence, water kept in the
room awhile is always unfit for use, and
should be often removed whether it has be
come warm or not. And for the same reason
water in pump should be pumped out in
the morning before any is used. That which
has stood in a pitcher over night is not fit for
coffee in the morning Impure water is more
injurious to health than impure air, and cy-
cry person should provide the means of oh.
