!, A patient has dull, heavy feeling about
the head, with dizzy, whirling sensation
when rising up suddenly, bad taste in the
mouth, with foul breath, q feeling like load
on the stomach after eating, with faint,
all-gone sensation at the pit Of the stomach
that food will not satisfy, pains about the
side, back or shoulder, hands and feet some
times cold and clammy, alternating with hot
fiushes, sour eructations from the stomach,
eyes tinged with yellow, blood thick and
stagnant, with costiye bowels, and all at
tendant symptoms. One doctor examines
the case and calls it liver complaint, another
kidney disease, another dyspepsia, and still
another impurity of the blood. Now the
fact is all of these doctors are right and they
are all wrong, because such patients have
all of these diseases combined, and the
reason such diseases are not cured is because
the custom is to treat one of the diseases at
a time. While one is being cured the other
gets worse. We should treat the disease
with a remedy that will act upon all at the
same time. The SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs

Shakers as to effectually remove all of these
distressing symptoms. Sold by Al. White,

WindOW-Plants.

SEVERAL correspondents ask questions
relating to different features in the care
and cultivation Of window plants. One
lady affirms that success with house
plants seems largely matter of luck, as
she is as conscientious as her neighbOr in
the care Of plants, and yet her plants are
sickly, and she can make no Roadway
against spiders, mealy-bugs and other in
sects, while all the time her neighbor has
baskets and pots of luxuriant plants. 1t
may be said that enthusiasm and adapta-
billty to the business has much to do with
success in this department. Directions
covering every possible difficulty have
been given repeatedly, but in few cases
are they understood or followed in the
right spirit Unimportant directions are
followed closely, while important condi-
tons are neglected entirely. The soil in
the pots must not be dry as dust one day
and soaked with water the next; but must
be kept at proper degree Of moisture. II
red spiders are found, sponge the under
side of the leaves with cold sOap-suds. If
mealy-bugs appear, destroy by touching
with alcohol, or brush them off with a
soft, dry brush. The moist atmosphere,
indispensable to the healthy growth of
plants, is not SO difficult to secure as is often
imagined. Keep vessel on the stove
full of water, and the object is attained,
Prof. Maynard, in the Scientific Farmer.
calls attention to the fact that plants grow
much better where the temperature runs
lower at night than during the day, the
range of difference covering about ten de-
grees. He would place paper screen
between the plants and the window every
night.
Mr.. F. R. Elliott, of Cleveland, Ohio,
an excellent authority on the subject, says
the best system to keep plants in pots i'll
the common room Of the house is to place
the pot holding the plant inside of another
pot two inches more in diameter. Make
all tight at the bottom; then put two
inches of fine charcoal at bottom; set in
the pot with flower; then add fine char
coal to fill all the surrounding space
Water mainly Into the charcoal, only oc-
casionally into the main pot.-Chacago

A Radnorsh,re rEnplandA ladv recent

"A Radnorshlre England lady recently
paid visit to her father in Yorkshire,
who, tefore she was married, had kept
two or three sheep dogs of which she was
very fond. Since then he has retired
from business and disposed of all but one
dog. This one met the lady with demon
STATIONS of great delight upon her arrival
at her fathers house, and that night the
dog went a distance of seven miles to a
farm house where one of the other dogs
had been sent the latter was blind, but
kept as being an old favorite). In the
morning, when the lady went to the door,
she saw not only the dog which had given
her such glad reception the day previous,
but also the old blind one, which had evil
IDENTIFY been brought by the other dog to
welcome her. When the second night
came, the old blind one was taken back to
his home by the same dog, which after
ward returned, having travelled distance
of twenty eight miles to give pleasure to
the old blind one.-LG1ad and Water.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The Floral Cabinet says the cinnamon
vine may be grown in pots in living
rooms; and recommends using the tubers
a year Old The vine makes a pretty
ornament for doors, porches and lattice
screens, growing rapidly and attordlng a
delicate fragrance.
If cleanliness Is, as some folks say,
one of the arts, all that helps 1t should be
made known Doors, walls, or anything
that is painted may be cleaned with a
piece of soft flannel dipped in warm wa
ter, then wrung and sprinkled with tlnely-
powdered French chalk. The paint on
being rubbed with this will become quite
clean, and will be saved from the destruc-
tive action of soap.
One who has tried communicates the
following about curing sore throats: Let
each one of your readers buy at any drug
store one ounce of camphorated oil and
five cents worth of chlorate Of potash.
Whenever any soreness appears in the
throat, put the potash in half a tumbler OF
water, and with it gargle the throat thor
oughly, then rub the neck thoroughly
with the camphorated oil at night before
going to bed, and also pin around the
throat a small strip of wooden flannel.
We have vivid recollections of din
ners at school and still have fellow-feel-
ing for the boys and girls that trudge OFT
to school with dinner baskets and pals.
We wish that mothers and big sisters
would put more thought into these din
ners. The remembrance of them lasts a
life-t time Do not stuff the baskets with
pies, cake, cookies, preserves, nor go to
the other extreme and say good bread and

has similar effect with cold lunch. If
a dish of plain apple-sauce is the boys de-
light at the table, why not give him cup
of it in his dlnner-pail? The thoughtful
fingers that arrange the dinner-pail are
remembered through long lifetime. 1t
is we'll to remember that every kindness
thus bestowed is pleasant memory laid
by.-Detr0dt Free Press.
The idea entertained by almost every
amateur flower grower that large
amount of earth is required for the health
and vigor of the plant is erroneous, and
is called by experienced florists over pot
ting, and is laden many times with Sc
rious results to plant life; for the soil in
pots, boxes, tubs, ETC., does not have the
action of the elements to neutralize the
acid or equalize the chemical compounds
that are used up or generated to excess
when thus confined, and the soil often be-
comes sour and sodden, and necessitates
the speedy removal of the plant into
fresh soil to prevent decay of the roots.
Soil best adapted to nearly every plant
grown in pots is good sandy loan. Good
garden soil that has been enriched until it
is soft and mellow will answer every pur-
pose; but, if neither of these can be OBJ
tanned, procure Leaf mold from the woods,
swamp-muck and sand, equal parts, thor
oughly mixed, and this will make a
most desirable compost. The addition
of a little lime will destroy and pre-
vent worms.-N. Y. Independent.

Stall Feeding Cattle.

STALL-FEEDING, when one is prepared
for it, is about as profitable branch as
one can undertake in winter The requi-
sites are warm, well-ventilated, we'll
lighted stalls; plenty of room, fresh bed
ding often and food that is clean and
sweet. Corn-meal and hay cut early
would form the principal food, varied
with a few roots, bran and barley meal.
Of course there must be preparation be-
forehand. It is well to start in small
way There are doubtless thousands of
farmers who could feed few animals to
a large profit who will sell off their farms
hay, corn, roots, ETC., which ought to be
converted into manure and meat on the
farm.
1t is fact that those who undertake
stall feeding cattle and sheep very seldom
give it up, because the profits are SO large
both in fertilizers and cash. There are
farmers in Connecticut who have been IN
the regular practice of stall-feedlng cattle,
sheep and horses for their whole lives
since they began business for themselves.
According to the Springfield Republican,
Geo. w. Jones, of old Deerfield, has now
in his stables forty-seven head OF oxen, all
Durhams, and so large that they can
hardly move their great weight. The
heaviest yoke weighs 1900 pounds, the
whole lot averaging 1000 pounds to the
yoke. They are each fed eight quarts of
meal and bran daily and all the hay they
want. Water is supplied in the managers
in pipes. About Christmas these will go
to Boston, and then Mr.. Jones will stock
up for the winter, his usual number being
about eighty to ninety cattle, 900 to 700
sheep and about dozen horses. Last
year he cut 250 tons of hay, which, with
seventy-five tons purchased, he fed out.
It is plain to see that where so much is
fed out to strong, fattening animals farm
may be very soon brought up to a maxi
mum condition of fertility and product
iveness. The cattle occupy basement
we'll ventilated. If it was not, the great
heat generated by so many animals would
make the place oppressively warm. The
sheep are fed on the floor above, and Mr..
Jones uses all the enormous quantity of
manure produced at the stables. He is
also tobacco-raiser to the extent OF
twelve or fourteen acres annually, and the
tobacco he grows brings better price

How to Make Home Happy.

Grumble continual.y-grumble at ev-
erything.
Grumble at the rain and sunshine; the
cold and the heat.
Don't let any time run to waste.
Be about the business of grumbling ear
ly in the morning. To make this sure,
you had better begin before you get out of
bed, and while you are dressing you can,
doubtless, find many excellent opportuni-
ties for finding fault. If some of your
buttons are loose, or missing, just say to
your wife that you wish you'd never
married, for your boarding mistress did
use to see that you had as much as one
button on your shirt at time.
7Ransack the bureau drawers all through
for the clean handkerchief that your wife
always puts in your cOat-pOcket over
nigh. Leave the towel to soak in the
ever, and act as conductor of the soapy
water to the new carpet. Spatter the pa
per on the walls when you wash. Lay the
wet soap among your wlfe's frizzes and
fummery on the dressing table
Kick the cat when she comes purring
her morning greeting around your legs,
and VOW audibly that you'll kill that cat
the very first chance you get.
Allude to mud-puddle when you
drink your coffee, and make indefinite
reference to Noah's oxen when you try to
cut your beefsteak. Say you'll send to
the bakers for some bread that is fit to
eat, and express wonder that "some
women never can learn how to make
bread.
Through the day, unfortunately enough
| for your family, for whose happiness you
are laboring, you will be away from home,
| but when you return at night you can re-
sumo your labors of love. as
| Kick off your boots with an anathema
against the man who made them and who
swindled you into buying Them
| Put one on the sofa and fling the other
on the comfortable, out of the way.
/ Stretch yourself on the chairs before
| the fire, so as to get all the heat. Haven
you paid for the wood and coal? and
haven't you a perfect right to warm your
self by your own fire? Certainly Yes,
| to be sure! s
Always select the best of everything fol
yourself
Never, on any account, condescend te
be pleased with anything. 1t is beneath &
mans dignity to be tickled with trif1es.
The head of the family has his dignity
to keep up. Keep 1t up at any cost.

The successful employment of met

The successful employment of metal
bands for the transmission of power is
pronounced by the Scientific Amersc0n
IN impossibility. A soft steel-band, one
twenty fourth of an inch thick, running
over drum thirty-six inches in dame
ter, the latter revolving $50 times per min
ute, will last from eighty to one hundred
days, when it will break; after splicing,
it will run from about five to eight days,
when it will break again, but at this time
il will show several more cracks, and per-
haps be found to be already breaking in
two or three places. The metal band will
not last one-fiftieth part as long as the
leather-band under these conditions; on
smaller or larger drums, the band will last
a correspondinglylo longer or shorter period.
Band saw-blades also act in the same
manner. Many an apparently sound saw
blade, from one-fourth to one-half inch in
<width, breaks every day or oftener, which
lit did not do when first put on it has
become brittle on account of the great
Number Of times it has been bent; it is in
fact worn out. By using a band-saw when
new, the blade being from one-fourth to
one-half inch width, it can be used up to
one-eighth or within one-sixteenth of an
inch without breaking.
