this may seem needless care, but in the

money. Rust corrodes and weakens
the beSt-made tool. There are men
who leave their plows standing in the

fence, from one year to another, and

from the crotch of an apple tree,

How to Deal With FIeas.

SANTA BARBARA, in climate, is nv
choice, most decidedly, of all the cit
les of the Pacific coast. Her only
drawback is the horrid flea which in
tests her sands. But this pest She
shares in common with all the coast
towns. For the first few days after I
landed in Santa Barbara was sur
prised to see ladies with whom [
was conversing excuse themselves
every few moments to rush into an
adjoining room. | was all the time
suffering agonies from the bites of
myriads Of tieas, but I supposed the
usages of polite society made it neces-
sary for me to present a smiling front
to my callers-in other words. to grin
and bear it until Iohould be alone.
But soon learned that it was the Gus
tom in this strange town. immediately
upon the first warning bite, to retire
pell-mell from the eye of the world,

Only His Habit.

A WOODWARD avenue drug store
hired soda-fountain boy the other
day, and after the boy had been in
structed how to work the apparatus the
proprietor added:
CHOW, you see this faucet up here %
Well, there is brandy behind that, and
when man comes in and Winks, and
says he'll take little ho-hum in his,
you will know that he means bran
dy."
Everything worked all right until
about noon yesterday. Several men
dropped in, said "ho-hum," got their
brandy and soda, and the boy saw no
cloud in his horizon. At noon the
brandy bottle was empty, the drug
store man at his dinner, and it didn'
do any good to :: ho-hum'' around that
fountain. Along came a man who
had perspired until all the color in his
suspenders could be seen on his linen
coat, and as he stood before the foun-
tain waiting his turn, he winked at the
boy. He had habit of winking his
left eye, and he winked at the fountain
as much as he did at the boy. The lad,
however, called out:
"Havn't any brandy left-have to
take sirup.'
The man was good man. He
winked again in his amazement, and
the boy replied
Didn't tell you we hadn't any
brandy left? Dye suppose I'd lie
about it p
"My-my son-you-you shouldn't
-shouldn't t. stammered the good
man as he looked at him, and loi in his
embarrassment he winked againl
"Can [ make brandy out of sarsa-
pariila and pineapple sirup?" yelled
the boy. q tell you you've got to
take plain soda till the boss comes
back
ct didn't want any brandy" re-
piled the man.
w eli, we uOu \ Keep anything
stronger in the fountain, and [ couldn' t
tell whisky from arnica if [ was to
look on the shelvesr' growled the boy.
" You'll find what you want in the sa-
loon around the corner"
The winker winked all around the
crowd, tried to explain his position,
and then hustled out and boarded a
street-car. Chicago Courier.

The CrOw-The Farmer
Friend.

THE following from Our Dumb
animals, is quite in accordance with
our own experience with the ever
abused crow:
The poor crow finds every man
hand against him, notwithstanding
the service he does to those who till
the ground. IF they do not kill him
on sight, it is only because he is usually
a match for even the most sharp
sighted gunner. He is quite as fond
of bugs and worms, and little field
mice and young snakes, as he is of
the farmers corn. He is a good police
man about the farmhouse and drives
away the hawk, who can do twice the
amount of mischief he is guilty of.
He hunts the grass fields and pulls out
the caterpillars and all manner of pests,
and probably saves many other crops,
if he is hard on the corn.
A gentleman had a tame crow who
trotted out after him as he went out
to wage his annual war on the SQUASH
bugs. His sable attendant put his
head on one side and watched him
few minutes, as if to sec how he did
it. Comprehending the business at
last, he went for those bugs with a
will, and cleared the patch in fine
style. He took it for a business the
remainder Of the season, insuring
fine crop.-Rlraz Ne1O Yorker.

Smiths Moonlight Encounter.

THE stars twinkled tearfully in the
depths of heavens blue; the light
wind sadly rustled the lilac-bush in
the front yard; the dew-drops lay glis-
tening in the moonlight, like tears on
Natures cheek; the iron hoStler, on
the curbstOne, looked mournfully down
the street, while, over all, the pensive
moon gazed sorrowfuIly down and
seemed to weep. The aif itself Wept
tears of mist. And all this, because
Smith had been g out with the b'hoys
on beastly jamboree.
"HoW are yer-hic-ole pard ?"

aforementioned hostler's fist
What are yer-hic- a-tryin' ter

At this interesting crisis the cole
woman referred to jerked her head
and night cap out of the window and
got a bird s-eye view of Smith kindly
taking the "ole boy" under his pro-
tecting wing, and she sung out, as she
heaved a hair brush at him:
E'Smith, you fool, leave go of that
post and come into the house. Of
course you've been out to that innocent
club again. Leave go Of that post! do

fairly shrieked.

some compunctions Of conscience

them on thread after the manner of

by my bureau, and at intervals of from
ten to twenty minutes fresh flea was
impaled on this thread, until, the num-
Der becoming considerable, [ felt an
interest in collecting as large number

inal idea of having a flea necklace

with each black flea, and would also
brighten and heighten the effect. L

MANY who are suffering from the effects
of the warm weather and are deb;litated are ad-
vlsed by physicians to take moderate amounts of
whisky two or three times during the day In a
little while those who adopt this advice frequently
increase the number of - drinks - and in time be-
come confirmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors and
which is intended especially for the benefit of de-
bilitated persons, whether at home or abroad is
DIR. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the
juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation
does not create an appetite for the intoxicating
cup. The nourishing and the life-supportng prop
critics of many valuable natural productions con-
tanned in it and well known to medica, men have
most strengthening influence. A single bottle of
the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable qualities.
For debility arising from Sickness over-exertion
or from any cause whatever wineglassful of Sea
Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen the
stomach and create an appetite for wholesome
food. To all who about leaving their homes
we desire to say that the excellent effects of DR..
schenck's seasonable emedies-Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pils-are particularly evident when
taken by those who are iniuriously affected by a
change of water and diet. n 0 person should leave
home without taking a supply of these safeguards
along. For sale by all Druggists.

The Tomb of Seward.

THE tomb of Seward is the central
one of the three, of horizontal heavy
white marble from Rome-his daughter
on one side, his wife on the other,
then several tombs and stones of the
Miller family-Mrs. Stewards father
and relatives. The crOSS-full length
Of the tomb-is over Seward, and the
crown round the top of the cross at
the head is a marble urn covered with
chiSeled ivy, and under it the words,
He was faithful words used by his
friends in defending Seward for de-
Tending the demented negro murderer

The Pest of the Hennery.

WE believe that most of the ills with
which hens are afflicted are caused by
lice, and that if the houses were peri
odlcally WhiteWaShed and the nests
Spr1nkled with sulphur, snuff, tobacco,
ashes, hellebOro, or any other substance
dlStaSteful to these Yermin and harm
less to the hens, diseases would prove
the rare exception and not the rule
The rule is for farmers to neglect their
hens until they are stupid with lice,
and go about with their feathers ruffied
up as if it were, as, indeed, probably it
Is, misery to move, before any meas
ureS Of relief are deemed necessary.
The old adage that prevention is bet
ter than cure, or, stitch in time, ETC.,
Is here especially applicable. 1t is an
easy matter to prevent lice, but very
difficult matter to eXterminate them.
Even when by the use of insecticides
and other applications the hens are
somewhat relieved, constant care is
afterWard requisite to prevent, by the
rapid increase of the yermin that re-
main, the return Of consequent disord-
ers.
Poultry alive with vermin are pitt

Economical Hints.

HAVE a place for every thing and
every thing in its place.
Have workbench and a few tools
in your wood-shed, or in little room
at one end of your barn. There are
many small jobs, in the course of the
year, Which any man of common in
genuty can do as well as a professed
carpenter; and there are many rainy
days and odd spells when these jobs
can be done. How much running to
the village, and how much waiting and
patience this would save.
Don't put away a shovel, hoe, spade
