Dear Sa'-Your favor is just received in

since concerning the improvement in my
health which is now very apparent. [ have
used one bottle of Favorite Prescription with
the best results, although / will admit was

vantageous circumstances-having the super
vision of the house and during the season of

incompetency of help, to do more than /
ought, and, of course, suffered dreadfully,

hand, and did all could to bring order out
of chaos"-but upon laying aside all cares
and continuing the remedy find after using
less than one bottle to be so much benefited
that / have discontinued the use, with no re-
turn of the symptoms of which I wrote you.
| have suffered terribly, and what added to
my distress was the consciousness of not pro-
curing relief from ordinary sources; at times
it seemed about impossible to stand, so great
was the distress. All of those severe neural
gic pains have disappeared; they were so bad

external pressure. They seem to have left me
like magic, suddenly, and have had no re
turn; all other symptoms have been removed.
The severe weakness and faintness have dis

Removing Stains.

If you have been picking or handling
any acid fruit, and have stained your
hands, wash them in clear water wipe
them lightly, and while they are yet
moist strike match and shut your hands
around it so as to catch the smoke, and
the stains will disappear. If you have
stained your muslin or bingham dress,
or your white pants, with berries, before
wetting with anything else pour boiling
water through the stains and they will
disappear. Before fruitjuice dries it
can often be removed by cold water,
using sponge and towel if necessary
Rubbing the fingers with the inside OF
the parings of apples will remove most
of the stains caused by pairing.
For removing rust stains from fabrics
moisten the spot with solution OF
EPSON salts in few drops of hot water
and after few minutes rub it in we'll
Next fill tin vessel with boiling water
and set it on the stained place for a few
minutes, and afterward wash out in soft
water. If the spot be old, and not easily
removed, the operation must be re-
peated. 1t is advisable to have articles
thus treated washed at once. Another
way: Wet the spots with lemon juice,
cover with common table salt, and apply
a hot lron.-lYi32o0atjEee MdqdsSne.

Mrs Fyler, an invalid, perhaps child
less and widow; with the cold form of
of her long-suffering daughter and COM
panion at her side, now. for the first
time, attracted the attention of the pas
sengers, who kindly administered to her
in her great bereavement. IY IT
After burying her child at New Bruins
wick, the almost distracted mother con-
tinued her journey to Black Hawk,
where she arrived last week. Here she
hoped to find her niece, Margaret Stuart,
who had her four little boys, and imme-
diately upon her arriving at the Black
Hawk House, having been carried from
the cars to the hotel, her condition being
almost helpless, she asked that word be
sent to Mrs. Stuart, apprising her of her
arrival and requesting that she bring the
children and come to the hotel.
In this case, as in the others, the
search for her niece proved uI1availing,
and all that could be learned was that
Mrs. Stuart had some time previous re-
moved from Black Hawk to-no one
knew where.
Already borne down with grief and
trouble, the unfortunate lady, in order to
receive proper medical attendance, was
brought down to Denver on last Friday,
and conveyed in helpless condition to
the Grand Central Hotel, opposite the
Union Depot, where she now lies without
money or friends, and suffering not only
intense bodily pain, but terrible mental
agony.
A Democrat reporter interviewed the
unfortunate woman yesterday afternoon
and the story above related and told us
by Mr.. Painter was corroborated by
Mrs Fyler.
Information respecting either the rela-
tives of her late husband, the Rev. Will
lam Fyler, or the whereabouts Of Marga-
ret Stuart, or the Rev. Charles w. Par
ker, residing year ago at Red Bluff,
Cal, will be thankfully received, and
may be addressed "Mrs. William Fyler,
Denver, Col, care Grand Central Hotel,
opposite Union Depot" -DenUer Demo-

Fall Seeding of Meadows.

The practice of seeding down mead
ows in connection with some kind of
grain is less common among our best
farmers than formerly Many of them
have learned from experience that the
various species of our cultivated grasses
actually succeed better when sOwn alone
than with rye, wheat and similar coarse
growing kinds of grain, which are likely
to smother and retard the growth of the
more delicate grasses sOWn Herewith.
But when grass seed is sown in spring,
and upon rich soils, the coarse growing
weeds are likely to be more injurious
than ordinary kinds of grain, whereas, if
sown in fall, early enough to insure a
good start before cold weather, the weed
nuisance will be almost if not entirely
obviated.
Wheat, rye and oat stubble may be
turned under Immediately after harvest,
and allowed to remain for few weeks,
or until the first fall rains; then har-
rowed and the grass seed sown. If rye
or wheat should appear from the scat
tered grain left at harvest time, or the
land is not in frst-rate filth, cross-plow-
ing may be necessary before sowing.
There is nothing gained by sowing the
grass seed too early, but if heavy show
ers should come in August we prefer this
month to September in the more north
ern States. Usually the first week in
September is safe time to escape Sc
we're droughts and insure full growth
and fair crop of hay the ensuing sea-
son. IF it is desirable to add clover to
timothy, the seed may be sown early the
following spring. If any of our readers
expect to seed down any land next spring
with the hardy perennial grasses, we
would suggest that they try fall seeding
to a limited extent, and see which of the
two systems is the best. We have prac-
ticed both, and are decidedly in favor OF
sowing grass seed alone and in the fall,
instead of with grain and in the spring

Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms.

Cabinet or Parlor Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can he made at
half the cost of good ones, and few peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference
from first examination. Manufac-
turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high as
the value of such cheap work. Thenthe
peddler starts out and puts them on the
people in various ways He sells at an
enormous discount, if he can get cash /;
takes part trade if necessary, or leaves
the organ awhile on trial, and sells it on
long time at manufacturers price," ex-
hibiting the catalogue to show that it is
SUCH or even at discount from this,
which he can well afford.

MEDICAL MANIAcs.-There are numbers
of medical men so welded to the old
formulas that all changes seem to them
like innovations. These medical ma
MACS are, fortunately, incapable of much
mischief in this practical age. While the
VINEGAR BITTERs are curing Indigestion
Nervous Debility, Constipation, and
countless other diseases that defy the
remedies of the pharmacopeia, it is i'm
possible to thrust down the Threats
of intelligent invalids "heroic" doses of
mineral poison, or to persuade them to
take adulterated alcohol, impregnated
with cheap astringents, as healing
balm" or "balsamic preparation"
VINEGAR BITTERs, pure botanical tonic
and alternative, guiltless of the curse of
distilled or fermented liquor, is actually
accomplishing what the mineral and
alcoholic cure-mongers have so incessant-
ly promised but have never yet per-
formed. Under these circumstances it
is no wonder that this medicine has
taken precedence of all those burning
fluids miscalled tones.

REV. " ADIRONDACK MURRAY recently
delivered an agricultural address at st.
Adams, VT, in the midst of powerful
rain, but he stood out of DOORS, bare
headed, and went through it all without
finching. His subject was the dignity
of agriculture, and he said he would feel
satisfied if, by his address, he should per
suade a single farmer-boy to remain on
the ancestral acres rather than seek the
unwholesome excitement of city life.
He, however, dwelt upon the fact that
farmers boys are not usually so healthy
as those living in the city, and thought
that it was due to excessive manual
labor, improper diet, and inattention to
the laws of physical exercise. He thinks
that the New England stock of men is
physically deteriorating.

The Mason s. Hamhn Organ Co, have
recently announced plan which is like
ly to interfere with this business. This
company, as is well known, makes only
the best work, which, by its uniform ex-
cellence, has obtained the highest repu-
tation for their organs They proved the
best, and obtained the highest Awards at
the recent Vienna and Paris Worlds Elk
positions, as they have uniformly done in
American industrial competitions. The
fact that these organs are the best in the
world is indeed too we'll established to
need further Endorsement.
The company have now added large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design to greatly increase
their business This they propose to do
by offering organs for time payments, or
for rent with privilege of purchase, at
barely sufficient advance on the cash
prices to afford reasonable interest for
the time. An organ may be hired by the
quarter with privilege OF purchase at
any time in one year or longer. If pur-
chased within the year, the whole cost,
including rent paid, is only 5 to 10 per
cent. more than if the cash had been
paid down at the beginning.
Persons having any idea of purchasing
will be wise to send note to the Mason
s. Hamlin Co., at either Boston, New
York or Chicago, and obtain their new
circulars, before purchasing.
