Modern Women.

IL is q sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and ply
slque until they are literally a race OF in
vallds-pale, nervous, feeble and back achy,
with only here and there few noble ex-
ceptions in the persons of the robust, buxorn
LADIES characteristic of the sex in days gone

period OF years, and embracing the treat
lent OF many thousands of cases of those
ailments peculiar to Women, Dr. Pierce, of
perfected, by the combination of certain vege-
table extracts, natural specific, which he
does not extol as cure-all but one which
admirably fulflls singleness OF purpose
being most positive and reliable remedy
for those weaknesses and complaints that
aff1ict the women of the present day. This
natural specific compound is called DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription. The follow
ing are among those diseases in which this
wonderful medicine has worked cures as if
by magic and with a certainty never before
attained by any medicines Weak back,
nervous and general debility, falling and
other dispIacements of internal organs, re-
sulting from debility and lack of strength,
in natural supports, internal fever conges-
ton, inflammation and liberation and very
many other chronic diseases incident to
women, not proper to mention here, in
which, as we'll as in the cases that have been
enumerated, the Favorite Prescription eff

not do harm in any state or condition of
the system, and by adopting it's use the in

of cold water, and bring the water to

top of the can, then seal. In this way

make q not very thick batter; bake in
the usual way. After baking split it
open, spread with butter, and apply
fresh raspberries. To be eaten with
sweetened cream. 2
BREAKFAST CAKE.-One and half
cups of light bread dough, 2 ditto of
white sugar, teacup of butter, 8 eggs,
! teaspoon of soda, 1 teacup of stoned
raisins. Cloves, cinnamon, or nutmeg
to taste. Rub the raisias in -four. Stir
the batter with the hand, and if not
thick enough add a small bit OF. -four.
Put layer of the batter in a deep,
round baking pan, then layer of
raisins, until all the batter is in the
dish. Place the pan in a warm place
for two hours, or until the mixture is
light, then bake.
TOMATO WINE.-We think We can
give recipe to make wine said to be
equal to Heidseick. Take small, ripe
tomatoes, pick off the stems, put them
into a tub, wash them clean, and then
strain them through a linen bag. One
bushel will make five gallons of pure
wine. Add two and half to three
pounds of loaf sugar to each gallon,
then put into cask and ferment, and
fly as you do raspberry wine. If two
gallons of water be added to the five
gallons of juice, it will still make very
nice wine. Brown sugar may be used
instead of loaf, but the wine is much
more sparkling when loaf sugar is
| used. ~ III M

garded, the consequence is, that crosses
brought up in situations unsuited to
them prove failures. In comparing
crosses, the higher bred the male is the
finer the cross-that is, near approach
to his properties; and even an ouer-bred
male, showing symptoms of in-and-in,
may be used with great advantage in
crossing. Where a superior cross-male
is thus produced, q strong desire is gen.
orally evinced to use him as a sire, in
stead of expending money in purchas-
ing a high-bred male. But a more
short-sighted step cannot be taken by a
breeder, as from male thus originated
no assurance can be given or even an
ticipated of the progeny which may
be much worse than either sire or
dam.

A Man 125 Years Old Who Never Voted.
From the Clermont (O.0 Sun.

- CIOIu ue NioIIuOut ko-9 Gull
He is now in his 10th year, and he
has never voted. Etienne Gauldinot
was born In 1852. in Canadian hamlet
between the st. Charles and Montmo-
renci Rivers, below Quebec. The
great battle between the French and
English was fought near his fathers
cabin, and although he was only six
years old he he remembers it perfectly.
Indeed, the urchin saw Wolf after he
was killed, and Montcalm after he was
was wounded. In 1772 he married
lass, and made clearing on the west
side of Lake Champlain. The COM
mandant of Fort Ticonderoga en-
ployed him as a scout. In May, 1715,
having come Ia from a scouting expe-
dition down the lake, he was captured
by Ethan Allen. He sent his wife,
mother and children to Canada, where
they remained until the close of the
Revolutionary war In 1898 he trapped
for furs in the vicinity of Niagara Riv-
er, and served three years during the
war of 1872, being wounded twice in
the battle Of Lundy's Lane; and being
complimented by Gen. Scott for his
bravery. He does not appear to have
taken a hand in the Patriot war, the
Mexican campaign, the civil war, or
any OF the Fenian raids. He is now
living with his great-granddaughter,
near the mouth of Bullskin Creek,
Franklin county, @. He talks but lit
tie, hobbies about the house with
cane, smokes a clay pipe, is quite deaf,
but has good eyes. az say

The Backward Habit of the Japanese.

The Japanese habit of reversing
everything, if we may regard our own
ways of doing as the proper ways, is
very curious and in some of its details
very interesting. Mr.. Griffs, in his
work on Japan, discusses it thus:
another man is planning. He pulls
the plane toward him. I notice a
blacksmith at work. He pulls the bel
lows with his feet, while he is holding
and hammering with both hands. He
has several irons in the fire, and keeps
his dinner pot boiling with the waste
fame. His whole family, like the gen.
erations before him, seem to 'all get
their living in the hardware line.' The
cooper holds his tub with his toes. All
of them sit down while they work.
How strange! Perhaps that is an inn
portant difference between European
and an Asiatic. One sits down 20 his
work, the other stands up to it. Why
is it that we do things contrariwise to
the Japanese? Are we upside down,
or they? The Japanese say that we
are reversed. They call our penman-
ship crab-writing,' because, they say,
it goes backward The lines in our
books cross the page like a crsw-fsh,
instead of going downward properly.
In japanese stable we find the horses
flank where we look for his head
Japanese screws screw the other way
Their locks thrust to the left, ours to
the right. The baby toys of the Aryan
race squeak when squeezed; the Tu-
ranian gimcracks emit noise when
pulled apart. A Caucasian, to injure
his enemy, kills him; a Japanese kills
himself to spite his foe. Which race
is left-handed? Which has the neg
alive, which the positive of truth

WHAT ARE TIE STARS 2

Are they white lambs, these stars on high,
That, when the day star sinks in night,
Still feed in pastures of the sky, "a
And to the shepherds lend their light ?
Or silver lilies are they, there,
With sweetest petals open spread,
That, when we mortals rest from care
Their fragrance o'er the weary she'd?
Or consaoiated candles tall. kEE
That on Gods altar shine so bright,
The darkness of our earthly ball
To dissipate with softest light?

Sweet hymns of love for us prepare,

Fall Setting of .Raspberrie,

Purdy's Fruit Recorder gives direc-
tons for management with red rasp-
berries, and if they are followed and a
good crop is not obtained is willing to
bear all the blame that can be heaped
on. First plant only hardy sorts as
Bristol, Turner, Highland Hanly,
Brandywine and Philadelphia. Second,
set out III the fall four and one-half
feet each way, cutting off six inches
from the ground. Third, when planted
hill up around them, and IN early
spring pass over the ground with har-
row, SO as to level down weeds that are
just starting. Fourth, cultivate both
ways during the season, keeping all
weeds from the hill and the young
growth nlpped off at the end when it
gets from eighteen inches to two feet
high. Twice Or three times pass
through with cutting attachment to
cultivator to cut off suckers, being care
full not to cut too deep. If the soil is
rather poor or light throw a handful Of
compost in each hill as the plants are
set and each year a small quantity
under each bush close to the plant A
plantation thus grown and cultivated
each year will yield an abundance of
berries for five or six years.

Milk Instead of SOAP.

A lady writes to a New York paper
of a novel substitute for SOAP Another
recommendation in its favor, it seems
to us, is the economy of milk, as, even
IN cities where milk is from six 70 eight
cents per quart, it would be less expen-
sive to use than hard soap:
Without giving any recipes for
making soap, [ wish to tell the hard
worked farmers wives how much labor
they may save by not using such vast
quantities Of this article. For nearly
five years | have used soap only for
washing clothes. In all that time have
not used one pound of soap for wash
ing dishes and other kitchen purposes.
My family has rang ed from three to
twenty-five. [ have used cistern water,
limestone water, rs hard as possible,
and hard water composed of other in
gradients besides lime, and find that
with all these my plan works equally
well. 1t is this: Have your water quite
hot, and add a very little milk to it.
This softens the water, gives the dishes
a fine gloss, and preserves the hands;
1t removes the grease, even that from
beef, and yet no grease is found float
ing on the water, as when soap is used.
The stone vessels | always set upon the
stove, with little water in them, when
the victuals are taken from them; thus
they are hot when | am ready to wash
them, and the grease is easily removed

of soap on washing days, but am glad
to dispense with its aid on all other oc-
casions. [ find that my tinware keeps
bright longer when cleaned in this way
than by using soap or by securing. The
habit SO many of us have acquired of
securing tin is a wasteful policy; the
present style of tinware will not bear
1t. The tin is soon scrubbed away, and
vessel that is fit for nothing is left on
our hands; but if washed in the way l
have described, the tin is preserved,
and is always bright and clean"

Common Sense in Tree Prunfn q.

There appears to be, here and there,
q return to common sense ideas about
pruning fruit trees. We have had all
sorts of theories, and much time has
been spent IN arguing the question of
summer, or spring, or winter. pruning.
Now, broadly speaking, the tree should
not be pruned at all. That is to say, it
should be allowed to grow naturally.
The careful pomologist will see when
tree is sending out young branches
which, IN progress of time, are likely
to interfere with each other; these are
to be taken out SO early that the term
pruning, In its ordinary sense, does not
apply to the operation. Some folks
tear out the middle limbs to let the sun
IN. some cut the roots to promote bear
ing and the early ripening Of the fruit.
Nor is it to be denied that the object
is gained in both cases. But that is
not the whole question. The purpose
Is, Or ought to be, to grow a tree in it's
greatest perfection, and to last for its
natural life. Of course there is such a
thing as aiding nature; it is, 10 fact,
about all that is in horticulture or med
iclne; but giving good condition does
not by any means imply amputation,
either for tree or man. 1t will prob
ably be found in the long run that ex-
ira forcing and heroic cutting are alike
Objectionable. Had we time and taste,
the rubbing off of the bud of the like
| ~ to be uncouth limb would suffice
for al trimming. Old trees, like old
folks, do not readily form new graces,
and are sure to be hurt, when even bad
but accustomed habits are rudely
hewn away.-ProuSdence Journal.

A CORRESPONDENT of the the Engineer
nag says /: Ornament as q characteris-
tic of the engineering practice in
America is one of which it is hard to
speak comparatively. It is peculiari-
ty almost wholly their own, and it is
extremely difficult to understand how,
among people SO practical in most
things, there is maintained tolerance
OF. the grotesque ornaments and gaudy
celors which, as rule rather than an
exception, distinguish American ma
chimes. There is something SO anoma-
lous in attempting to ornament a
machine which is to he covered with
grease and dirt, and operate where no
one cares for or even notices decoration
