About sick Animals.

Nearly all sick animals become SO by i'm
proper feeding in the first place. Nine
cases out of ten the Digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid
corrective. 1t vii! cure majority of cases,
if properly administered. An example is of
use. The hired man came in with the iu-
telligence that one of the finest cows was
very sick, aud kind neigi5or proposed
the usual drugs and poisons. The owner
being Ill and not able to examine the COW,
concluded that the trouble came from over
eating, and ordered teaspoonful of pull
yerized charcoal given in water. 1t was
mixed, put in a junk bottle, the head held
upward and the water and charcoal poured
down. In five minutes Improvement was
visible, and in a few hours the animal was
in the pasture quietly eating grass. An
other instance Of equal success occurred
with a young heifer which had become
badly bloated by eating green apples after
hard wind. The bloat was so severe that
the sides were almost as hard as barrel.
The old remedy, salcratus, was tried for
correcting the acidity But the attempt
to put it down always causes coughing, and
it did a little good. Half toacup of fresh
powdered charcoal was given. In six hours
the bloat was gone and the heifcr better,
yes well.-Lice Stock JouInuL

tributable to their painful plainness of dress.
No display of jewelry, silks, fine bonnets,
elegant head dresses or high-heeled shoes
is made by these ladies' They labor in the
kitchen, and, for amusement, they spell
their male lords in the field with the plow
and hoe. They have no use for Harper's
Bazaar or a Chickering. The men have
no political ambition, while, as is well
known, they have an inherent aversion to
military operations and glories They are
opposed to both military and civil law, and
no officer of any kind can be member of
their community. They have their own
local government, and all disputes are settled
by arbitration. Being on-combative and

Household Hints.

Pure soft water is the best Of all blood
purifiers. It dissolves most every impurity
that may find Its way to the blood, and
passes it off through the skin, lungs and
kidneys, thus washing out the blood with
out those chemical charges and deposits
which are likely to arise from the actiolf of
drugs. Why then use doubtful, danger
Gus and often injurious drugs for purify
ing the blood: when pure, simple, safc, and
far more efectud water may be had with
out money and without price?
a hot lemonade is one of the best remc-
dies in the world for a cold 1t acts prompt
ly and effectually, and has no unpleasant
after effects. One lemon properly squeezed,
cut in slices, put in sugar and covered with a
half pint of boiling water. Drink just be-

Saving is Wealth.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day Is the failure of our people to
appreciate small things. They do not
realize how a daily addition, be il ever so
small, will soon make large pile. IF the
young men and young women of to-day will
only begin, and begin now, to save little
from their earnings, plant it in the soil of
some good savings bank and weekly or
monthly add their mite, they viii wear a
happy smile of competence when they reach
middle life Not only the desire, but the
ability to increase it viii also grow. Let
clerk and tradesman, laborer and artisan,
make now and at once beginning. Store
up some of your youthful force and vigor
for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to begin
early TO save. Begin at the fountain-head
to control the stream Of extravagance-to
choose between poverty and riches. Let
our youth 90 on in habits of extravaganza
for fifty years to come as they have for fifty
years past, and We shall have a nation of
beggars, with moneyed aristoracy. Let
a generation of such as save in small sums
be reared, and we shall be free from all
want Do not be ambitious for extravagant
fortune, but to seek that which it is the
duty of every one to neutrality-suspicious.

Simple Rules for Interest.

The following rules for obtaining inter-
est are simple and accurate:
Six Per Cent.-Muitiply any given num-
ber Of dollars by the number of days of in.
terest desired, separate the right hand fig
urc and divide by six the result is the
true interest ON such sum for such NUM-.
Der of days at six per cent
Eight Per Cent Multiply any given
amount by the number of days upon which
it is desired to ascertain the interest, and
divide by forty five, and Che result will be
the interest of such sum ior the time re-
quired, at eight per cent.
Ten Per Cent.-MultipIy the same as
above, and divide by thirty-six, and the re-
suit will be the amount Of interest at ten
per cent

A Noble Institution,

An example of what mankind can Go for
his fellow creatures is exhibited in the inn
posing structure of Girard College, situated
in the suburbs Of Philadelphia, and one of
the greatest institutions in the United
States. 1t is q lasting monument to the
memory of its founder, the great philanthro-
pist, Stephen Girard. This man, through
his own industry, having amassed large
fortune, appropriated Il large portion of it
to the building Of college and home
for fatherless boys. This institution was
opened on the first Of January, 1913.
and in the twenty-ninc years of its
existence eighteen hundred boys have eff,
joycd the opportunities afforded by it. 1t
has one of the most thorough systems of
instruction the city affords, and has sent
out to the country great number of valu-
able citizens The main edifcc is one ef
most complete specimens of architecture the
country can beast of, and is wonder to
all who see it. Mr. Girard could not have
appropriated his money to a better purpose,
and the example is worth following, as the
fruits that are now being harvested will
show.

A New Cause of Trichin@ in Pork.

Some new cases Of deaths, due to the
eating of pork infested with T5chine,
which are being quoted in Western journals,
should be the means of directing public at
tention anew to the horrible disease Of swine,
called trichinojs, and to the fact that, when
once the parasite attacks a human being,
the result is prolonged suffering and, in a
multiplicity of instances, death. The worm
existing in the pork literally, bores its way
out OF the stomach and into the muscles.
1t has lately been found that swine may
become infested with trichina through eat
ing carrion, or even decayed vegetable sub
stances This is point worth considera-
ton by farmers who incline to the belief
that dead chickens, putrid swill, or any
other filth about the place is legitimate food
for the pig. The animal is not dainty in
his tastes, and will lunch off his dead rela-
tives with infinite gusto but it is the poor
est economy to permit him to assume the
role of scavenger No milk dealer will al
low his COWS to cat garlic if he can help it,
though the brutcs are crazily fond Of the
odoroiierous weed and there IS certainly
more reason for the Earmer to see that his
porkers have no access to unclean food. In
one case, if precaution be neglected, the
taste OF the milk is affected in the Other
the entire flesh is rendered poisonous and
dangerous food

The Army 0Vercoat.

There are men in this vicinity who wear
blue army overcoats. We went down to
the wood market the other day to buy a
load of wood. Among all the Changers
there, our heart went out to one with a
tattered, soi!ed, blue army overcoat. We
gazed at his wcather-beatcn face and
thought at is to such as these that the
nation owes its life That strong arm may
have upheld the flag at Gettysburg, or a
ball from his trusty rife may have unhors-
ed Rebel commander, and turned the tide
of battle at the Wilderness" We thought
it more blessed to give dollar to soldier
for load Of scraggy wood than to dwell in
the tents Of the wicked, and as he drove up
the street with the wood we followed him
with much the feeling of private following
a victorious general. When the wood was
unloaded, we said to him:
''Comrade, tell us in what department
you served your country during the unholy
rebellion 2"
The old flame came again to his eye, and
as he stood upon the hind end Of the wagon
and with his whip ticl1led the eff mules

A Little too Short.

They were married in the morning, and
Immediately stepped aboard the ears for a
bridal tour to San Francisco. They at
tracted considerable attention on the way
by their honeymoon ways, and created a
good deal of quiet fun among the Soodly
number of ladies and gentlemen who were
passengers. In due time the cars catered
a tunnel, and all for few moments were
cnyeloped in darkness. All too soon the
ears emerged in the glare of the noonday
sun, and our loving bride and groom were
discovered locked in each Others arms and
exchanging kisses at a rate seldom seen i'll
public. The passengers took in the situa-
ton in about second, and "a shout went
up that nearly threw the train from the
track, and brought the conductor to the
scene on the double quick ;-''Pass it
around" yelled a big man who was on his
way Vest to get his wife. "Go back to
the tunnel, said another man to the con
ductor and as the newly made husband
settled back in his seat he was heard to say
-''Sarah, / thought tunnels were longer
