A CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA,
Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm writes to the
Pittsburp Commercial:

Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm writes to the
Pittsburg Commercial:
A lady met me this morning, saying,
"Did you see that receipt for curing by.
drophobia in yesterdays paper?" l
had not seen it. swell" she continued,
ut is just the cure l wanted you TO
write about two or three years ago-ths

known to fail. and was used in hundreds
of cases in the eastern part of the State.

remember anything. have told people,
and told and talked. and no one would
mind me. l tried to get you to write q
letter about it, and now you must. for
people will not believe. They will read
and forget all about it,"
remember perfectly her anxiety that
l should write to the public and proclaim
that elecampane and fresh milk are the
specific for hydrophobis, and my pur.
pose to repeat the. account she gave me
OF it, but l do not remember why did
not do 30. That I may atone for my
negligence now repeat what she 80 long
ago told me, and what she now urges NE
to make as public as possible.
In her old home in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, lived q German named
Joseph Emery, who used to be sent for,
far and wide, when anyone had been bit
ten by o rabid animal. He went to his
patient carrying something understood
to be root, which be himself dug in the
woods. He MIXED pint of milk fresh
from the COW. put the root into it,
boiled it, gave it to the patient, fasting
made him fast after taking it; gave a
second and third dose on alternate days,
and never failed in effecting a cure. In
some way which she has forgotten his
secret transrired, and the root was known
to be elscsmpane.
The story, current in the country, was
that an old German made the discovery
10 the days OF Penn and applied to the
Pennsylvania Legislature for grant OF
$500 for making the secret public. Hit
offer WAS treated with contempt, and be
resolved that his knowledge should die
with him; but u drunken son knew it,

OF copies, and tried 10 sell them at 81

TIE GIRL WITH A GLASS EYE.-Bsllet's
girl has glass eye, and it was that one
particular piece OF parti.colored glass
which caused Beliefs arrest last evening.
When Belief and his girl got on the up
town car at the depot there was a party
Of Texas cowboys who had just been
paid off. They were rather rough in
their manners and boisterous in their
language. Beliefs girl, who sat next to
one Of the cowboys. cast one side glance
towards them and that glass eye of hers
stuck. And the worst of it WAS, Beliefs
girl was not aware of the fact that her
left.hand optic WAS left glancing side
wise towards the cowboys, while her
surs-enough eye was looking imploringly
towsrds Belief. The Texan sitting near
est to Beliefs girl looked at her and
caught her looking sidewise and winking
out Of her glass eye at a rapid rate. He
punched his partner in the ribs and, with
a glance towards Beliefs girl, remarked ::
Flows this, Polk? Reckon I'm solid
thar, eh?" Then the Texans looked to-
wards the girl, and still the glass eye re.
manned stationary, while the eyelid kept
up its winking. The Texan moved closer
to Beliefs girl and spoke to her. She
became terrified and appealed to Belief
with her good eye--ths glass eye still
ogling the Texan. The latter attempted
to enter into conversation, when she ap-
pealed to Belief to stop the car and she
would get out Then Belief got up and
inquired whether the Texan intended to
insult the lady. but at the same time
caught sight of her left eye leveled lam
guishly upon the cowboys. This made
him madden than ever, and he rep-oached
his girl in language very uncomplimen-
tary. Beliefs girl shed tears ont of one
eye. and the cowboy bounced" Belief.
The latter yelled police, and Beliefs girl
tainted Just as the car stopped Belief
went out of the car into officer Davis
arms, and was given in charge by the
car-driver for insulting LADY, Kansas

Financial Feature of the Grange.

The Order of Patrons of sbaudry
in California has gone through a very
severe ordeal, one that we should not
care to see repeated; and yet our early
misfortunes have been productive OF
much good, aud we have had an ex-
perience which will prove valuable, il
we are determined to profit by it. We
have learned TO distinguish the chat
from the wheat. Ali those who, act
uated by sordid motives, Joined the
Order for what they could make out
of 1t, have either voluntarily or forci-
bly, left our ranks. and their places are
now filled by men actuated by nobler
impulses and more liberal views. Men
who are working for the common
good of the farming masses of our
people; men who seek to perpetuate
the existence of our Order for the So
cial, intellectual and moral benefits to
be derived from it.as well as the bene-
fits which will be the sure results of
cooperation, of united and harmoni-
Gus action among the farmers; from
this class Of intelligent farmers would
we recommend the subordinate
Oranges to select their officers, and
then, during the coming year, we will
be found more firmly united and pros
porous th an we are even now.-Cali-

A Model California Farm.

The Bunea Vista ranch, a part OF
the estate of the late w. G.. Ralston,
situated near Bunea Vista Lake, in
Kern county, is in all respects model
California farm. 1t is devoted largely
to alfalfa, there being over 400 acres of
that valuable grass upon it, and other
products of every variety are grown.
a perfect system of canals and dis
tributing bitches encircles it and ram
ifies it, and lines of beautiful shade
trees enclose it. Every thing that has
been planted there-and nearly every
thing has been planted-thrives vigor-
ously and yields prodigiously. The
place is well fitted out with spacious
barns, out-houses, mems quarters, etc,
and ample facilities i'll the way of
stock, implements and machinery for
working the place on the most i'm
proved scale. A handsome and COM
modious residence, built in southern
style, standing about eight feet from
the ground, with deep verandas on
every side, occupies about the center
of the section, and commands a mag
nificent view of the valley and the
mountains east, west aud the lake and
mountains TO the south. The proprie-
tors are also largely engaged in sheep
raising and the alfalfa was designed TO
furnish winter feed and facilities for
fattening when required. Large guam
titles of hay have been cured and
stacked for this purpose, and when
the fiocks can no longer find outside
feed they can be carried through the
winter till the spring grass replenishes
the wild range. This is one of the
most important of the many large ag-
ricultural enterprises now in course
of prosecution in the country.

When to Prune.


This is the annual, or more frequent,
raising of an old question upon which
there is great want of agreement, even
among those who have had great ex-
perience. We will give you our no.
tons of the subject.
/. 1t is TO be remembered TO start
upon, that pruning is usually neces-
sary evil. We do not prune tree be-
cause it will help it directly, but be-
cause it may fail of its object in life If
we do not; forked top may need one
branch cut away, This gives shock
to the vitality of the tree, but prevents
the worse evil of splitting down when
one side becomes over loaded. The
top of tree sometimes needs thin
ming out or the growth is smothered,
and no leaves, much less fruit buds,
are formed where the limbs lie too
thick. We prune TO prevent or cure
what we think is worse.
2. The state of rest, if it may be
called so, which, in our fruit trees, is
the fall Of the leaf and the starting Of
sap in late winter or early spring, Is,
other things being equal, the time
when cutting tree least Injuries its
vitality. It's functions are not so much
disturbed because they are nearly DOR
mant. The objection to pruning at
this time is that the weather, especial
ly in the north, is variable, sometimes
severely cold and again warm enough
to start the sap, and the exposed sur
faces made by the saw or knife leave
the tree insuiiiciently protected at the
points of cutting. These may be usu-
ally covered sufficiently by a thick
coat of paint, so that winter pruning
unless in very high ATTITUDES, can be
made reasonably safe. BY pruning af.
ter the severest weather is past, as il
February, additional safety is gained
The more tender the kind of tree, the
more particular we must be in winter
pruning TO guard against cold. The
apple is usually lardy and safe with
reasonable treatment. The peach and
other stone fruits are less hardy and
need more care.
8. Looking simply to healing the
wound, a period in June when the
current years wood begins to form, i:
probably the best. The objection tC
pruning at that time is, that the tree
in the period of active work, is sud
denly deprived of a considerable mas;
of foliage, and its functions are inter
rupted. The. bark is easily bruised
and loosened at that time also, and al
in all we reckon, the disadvantage;
of summer pruning are greater than
its advantages.
4. Excepting these times we like nc
other. We regard spring pruning
when the sap is starting, as the worst
possible period. Next TO it we would
place late summer pruning, as not sc
positively bad, but having nothing ii
its favor.
