ERRATTUM

The new tax law in some respects is very diff
ferent from the old in regard 10 the sale OF real
estae for taxes. The party purchas ne real
estate at tax sale is allowed 50 per cent on his
money for one year, and then il the owner does
not redeem il, he the purchaser, is entitled 10 a
deed for the property. same the old law But
the new Law gives the purchaser the right to say
whether he will take the 80 per cent on his money
for one year or whether he will take possess 10 n
of the property and have the use Of IL for one
year if not redeemed instead Of the 50 per cent on
his money. He has his choice. If he desires to
take ross essen OF the property, at the first Cir
cult Court that meets after the sale q writ OF
possession will be issue from said court direct
Cd to the sheriff, who will put the purchaser in
possession of the prof. erty. But the owner Of the
property has the right at any time during the
year 10 redeem his bropsrty by TaYing taxes,
costs, penalties and interest, but not after the
limits Of one year from the day Of le, except at
the option OF the purchaser:

Balky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, puts forth a set of rules for the
treatment of ball1y horses.
1. Pat the horse upon the neck exam
inc the harness carefully, first on one side
and then on the other, speaking encoura-
gingly while doing so then jump into the
wagon and give the word go generally he
will obey.
Q. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out
of the shafts and making him go round in
q circle till he is giddy. If the first dance
of this sort doesn't cure him, the second
will.
3. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind until he wants to go.
4. The brain of a horse seems to enter
tain but one idea at a time therefore con-
tinued whipping only confirms his stub
born resolve. If you can, by any means,
give him a new subject to think of, you
will generally have no trouble in starting
him. A simple remedy is to take a couple
of turns of stout twine around the foreleg,
just below the knee, tight enough for the
horse to feel, and tie in bow knot. At
the first check he will generally go dane
ing off, and after going short distance
you can get out and remove the string, to
prevent injury to the tendon in your furth-
er drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs, and tie it by cord to the
saddle-girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear,
close to his head.

Worth Knowing.

DR.. Glass, living near CRANKY, who is
clearing up new farm, has been troubled
with number Of big oak stumps. He had
heard that saltpetre was good for stumps.
Accordingly, about couple of months ago
he sprinkled on the top of each stump
about tablespoonful of pulverized salt
petre. A few days ago he set fire to these
stumps and says they commenced and con-
tinued to burn until every stump was to-
tally consumed, roots and all, that he was
able to plough without the least difficulty
over the very ground formerly occupied by
these large stumps. He says some of the
stumps burned for four, or five days

it will not fail.

The First Element Of a Home.

never saw garment too fine for man
or maid there was never chair too good
for cobbler OF cooper to sit in never
house too fine to shelter the human head.
These elements about us, the gorgeous sky,
the imperial sun are not too good for the
human race. Elegance fits man. But do
we not value these tools of housekeeping a
little more than they are worth, and some
times mortgage home for the mahogany
we would bring into it? would rather eat
my dinner off the head of barrel, or dress
after John the Baptist in the wilderness,
or sit on block all my life than consume
all myself before got home, and take so
much pains with the outside that the in
side is as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty
is great thing but beauty of garments,
house and furniture is a very tawdry orna-
ment compared with domestic love. All
the elegance in the world will not make a
home, and would give more for spoon
full of hearty love than for whole shiploads
Of furniture, and all the upholsterers in
the world could bring together.

EQUALLY GOOD FOR MAN OR BEAST.
This Liniment has earned for itself a reputa-
tion unequaled in the history of external ap-
plications. Thousands who now suffer from
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, &C., would find i'm

certain remedy. 1t is equally effectual in Cuts,
Burns, Scalds, Stiffness of the Neck, Sore
Throat, Swellings, Infammatlons, Frost Bites,
Pains in the Side and Back, Bites of Spiders
or Stings Of Insects. One rubbing will in all
cases give immediate relief, and few applca-
tlons complete a cure. On account of its pow
erful penetrating properties it is beyond doubt,
the SUREST REMEDY for the most trouble
some diseases to which horses aud cattle are
liable. 1t cures Scratches, Old and Fresh Cuts
and Sores, Chafes produced by collar or sad
die. Injuries caused by nails or splints enter

Fever and Ague Powders |!
FOR THE
FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLs AND FE-
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
The Greatest Discovery Of the Age


VNHERE are no diseases so facilitating in
their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes Of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove a preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
case, totally eradicating it from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear Of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation Is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There is no Risk IN Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford" }" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

is confident that the shrub is the genuine
coffee plant, and capable of producing

Most persons boil ham. 1t is much bet
ter baked, if baked right. Soak it for an
hour in clean water, and wipe it dry next
spread thin batter all over it, and then
put it in deep dish with sticks under it to
keep it out of the gravy. When it is fully
done, take off the skin and batter crusted
on the flesh side, and set it away to COOL
You will find it very delicious, but too rich
