Practical suggestion -

FoR chicken cholera dissolve one o.
of blue vitriol in one pint of water, and
give three or four spoonfuIs of the Wit
riol water in some milk to the fowls to
drink every day. 1t prevents them from
taken the cholera, and will cure IN most
cases; also, buchwheat in the grain will
cure the cholera If given to chickens.
GET the best hands, and keep them
Wien man has become used to his
work and employer, he is worth more
than a stranger. There is way to
make men intereste d IN their work, of
satisfying their self-respect, treating
them cautiously and reasonably, giving
them credit for success, while holding
them strictly responsible for failures,
and above all, by paying them promptly
and literally, that will make their work
worth double what it would otherwise
be. As land advances in price, more
labor must be expended on it to make
it pay profit, and by and by We must
have settled iaboring class. We are
now in process of educating this class
of men, and must do it by good manage
ment.

Peculiar PEOPLE.

A Boston letter to an Eastern newpa-
per relates that upon one of the fashion
able South End squares of that city,
there has lived in a swell-front, four
story hoase. until very lately, a woman
who has hired for her servant her own
sister. The latter was treated in all re-
spects as a mental, and though the
woman and her husband, having 10
children, dined alone when there was 10
company In the house, they never per-
mitted the sister to sit with them. Not
only this, but the sisttc-servant was kept
at work from early till late, ard there
was no such thing as leisure for her, or
a particle of the consideration due from
one so nearly related to her. Finally,
the woman moved out of town, and the
sister determined tie find an easier place.
Accordingly she engaged to go to sum-
mer resort as a pastry cook in fashion
able boarding house. Now it has trans
pired that her sister and former mistress
has engaged board for the warm season
not only at this very resort, but also at
the very house where her sister is to
furnish the pies and buildings.

Home Matters
MARBLE-ToP TABLES UNHEALTHY.-lti
seems strange that these elegant articles
of furniture should be considered I'M
healthy. The Herald of Health says of
them: "They are cold and rapidly alb
sorb the heat and vitality of the body,
robbing it of its life. We have heard of
one invalid whom the doctor could not
cure, till one day he noticed she used a
marble stand, and suspected it had
something to do with her ill-health. SO
he forbade her touching it. Soon she
was cured. We know healthy people
who feel the twinges of pain in the
shoulder by sitting near one. They
are handsome, but unhealthy for all
that"
FERNS FOR MATTRESSES. = Every
country neighborhood has woods which
are full of ferns and brakes, which
usually die and go to seed without
doing any good, save as qualification
to the sense Of sight. The softer parts,
if stripped from the stems and dried in
the sun, retain their toughness and
elasticity for a long time, and are said
to be superior to straw and husks, and
even to excelsior" for stuffing mat
tresses. The ticks, when filed, should
be stitched firmly with mattress
needle, using strong linen Irvine, and
making the intervals between the
stitches about an eighth of yard.

The Cooling Moth.

The apple tree from bud to root is
infested by insects of many different
kinds. Among the many whose liveli-
hood is gained by the culture of this
fruit, there are comparatively few who
| know the habits and transformations of
the depredators. | propose living in a
series of numbers the lives and habits
| OF these various insects.
The Cooling Moth er apple worm,
Carpocdpsd ponaonetla Linn) lays it's
eggs IN the blossom end of the small
apple during the month of June, OF first
OF July, and ID few days the worm is
Matched and commences working toward
| the core of the apple. 1t is easily de-
tected by the presence of brownish
powder thrown out by the worm as it
proceeds.
The body of the young worm is of
whitish color, with black head. AS it
natures the body becomes flesh color,
and the head and first ring brown.
Increasing in size with the apple, in
about three weeks it becomes fully
grown, has eaten to the core, and
through the apple in various directions;
and eats hole through the skin at the
side of the apple to force out the refuse
matter. After the apple has fallen the
worm comes out of this hole and crawis
along the ground until it finds a suita-
bic covert to spin its cocoon. The
cocoon is white. The chrysalis within
is yellowish brown, with rows of prickles
on It's back, by which it forces itself out
OF the cocoon when the time arrives for
the moth to come forth to propagate its
second brood, which is usually in two or
three weeks.
From the fact that the moth flies
only during the night, it is seldom
seen, and many orchardists never see
the real insect which causes them so
much trouble. The Cooling Moth is
mostly two, brooded; the last brood liv-
ing in the dormant state during the
winter, changing to the chrysalls form
IN the month of May, thus coming forth
in the winged state at the same time
that the blossoms appear on the apple
tree. At first the wings are damp, but
the warm sun expands and dries them.
The moths in few days pair, and soon
after the female commences depositing
eggs, numbering from two to three
hundred, one egg only being laid IN
each apple. If you will examine care
fully a barrel which has been filed
with apples in the fall, you will often
find the cocoon clinging to the inner
sides, the worm having been in the
apple.
There are many methods proposed
for the destruction of this insect. Per-
haps the best mode would be to destroy
the worms before they pass through
their transformation and become moths,
thus preventing the eggs being laid.
Bands are recommended to be used,
placed around the trunk of the tree,
thus providing shelter for the worms,
from which they may be taken and de
stroyed. Also scraping all the loose
bark from the tree under which they
often seek shelter. Hogs allowed to
run in the orchard will eat the fallen
apples, and destroy the worms before
| they come forth.
Care should be taken that all weeds
and debris be prevented from gathering
around the trees. Close attention to
these precautions will often be rewarded
with more perfect fruit.

DISAPPEARANCE OF AN OLD LAND
MARK.
me North Dutch Church Torn Down-Somc
Reminisc snces.
From the New York World.

Reminisc ences.
From the New York World.
The old North Reformed Dutch
Church at the corner of Fulton and
William streets is in rapid process of
demolition, and the venerable structure
will IN few days be entirely obliter-
ated. The corner stone of the church
was laid July 2, 1867, and it was dedi-
Gated May 25, 1859. That part of VIII
liam street on which it was erected. was
in those days known as "Horse and
Cart lane" name derived from the
sign of a tavern which stood near by.
which had painted upon it the repre-
sentation of a horse and cart.
This part of the city was at
that time but sparsely settled
but population was steadily
pushing towards it. The popula-
ton of the city at the time numbered
u 1868. The cost of the building was
about $4,000. John II. Livingstone
was It's first pastor, who was STUDYING
law at Poughkeepsie, but who decided
! that he was destined to the ministry,
and accordingly went to Holland il,
| l766, where he studied in the universe
| ties of Utrecht four years, returning to
New York at the end of that period, and
| accepting a call to the North Dutch
| Church. During the occupation of the
city by the English the church was used
as hospital and for storage. The low
er part was stripped of pews and pulpit.
and the walls defaced by British soldiery.
Previous to the Revolutionary War a
new pulpit was erected in the church,
but it could not be found after its re-
| moval by the British soldiers. Some
time after the close of the war gentle
man from New York while at a
, certain church in England had his at
tention directed to the pulpit, which
strongly reminded him of the one taken
from the North Church A person to
whom he mentioned his discovery said
that it was undoubtedly the same pull
pit, as it had been brought from Ameri-
ca. Rev. DIR. Livingston resigned his
pastoral charge in 1910, and died in
1925. The laborers who have been en-
gagged in tearing the building down
have found many interesting relies in
its various parts. A quantity of bullets
were taken from the interior woodwork,
which, it is supposed, were fired into it
during the Revolutionary war. A num-
Der of old pennies were found beneath
the base of the gallery columns, che of
which bore the date of ''1723," and sew
eral old-fashioned foot stoves, with the
names OF their former owners inscribed
upon their bottoms.

Visitors and the reporters. The member OF the
Board who attracts the most attention is
Ben Butler, who has recently retired
from politics. he Is now giving his
attention 10 patent laws ana the cadet

reluctance, to judge from his conduct at the
opening OF the examinations this afternoon, for
