chief ambition is to acquire bushy whlskers

hair may, 1t is said, be produced by very SIM
pie PROOF S. described by CoLanl Stevens in his
recently issued CONNER ial report 90 Nicolsef
for the past year. In the summer of 1875,
Consul Stevens attention was drawn to several
cases Of badness among bullocks, cows aud
oxen, and the loss of names aud tails among
oxen. A former servant of the Consufs, pre-
maturely bald, whose duty it was to trim
lamps, bad habit OF wIping bis petroleum
besmesred fingers in the scanty locks which re-
manned to him; and after three months of
lamp-trimmipg experience, his dirty habit pro-
cured for him much finer head of glossy
black barr than be ever possessed before in bis
recollection. Struck by this remarkable oc-
currence, Consul Stevens tried the remedy on
two retriever spaniels that had become sudden
~ bald, with wonderful success. His expe-
rience, therefore induced him to suggest 1t to
the owner of several black cattle and horses
affected as above stated; and, while it stayed
the spread of the disease among animals in the
bAm6 SOcuS duu 6taDlcs, IL cueCNu QUICK duu
radical cure on the animals attacked. The Pc
troleum should BIZ of the most refined Ameri-
car qualify, rubbed in vigorously and quickly
with the palm of the hand, and applied at in
tervsls of three days, six or seven times in all,
except in the case of horses tails or names,
when more applications may be requisite. AZ
ter rubbing, care should be taken to avoid
bringing th- part opera ed upon 10 contact with
a light; otherwise q premature explosion might
scatter to the winds all hopes of luxuriant
crop.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
P.,.,ee.-Their Relative Merits.

Let me say. in the first place, that have not
found potato without some fault. The Snow
fake and Early Ohio come the nearest to the
mark of any that have tested
The Snowflake has two faults. One is, it is
liable to rot on low, wet soil. The other is,
there are some small ones always. In the hill,
In yield, shape and quality, there is no need
of Improvement. Its keeping qualities are all
that can be desired; it Is in fire condition when
new ones come in, and its rich flavor is very
remarkable
The Early Ohio is the earliest potato that
have ever grown, except the Alpha, and is
fully A. early as that variety, being from ten
to fifteen days earlier than the Early Rose,
1t grows to alarge size, with 90 small ones, and
is the easiest potato dug l ever grew. The
quality is equal, If not superior. to the Peach
blow, and will keep equally with that variety.
In fact, it is thr only very early potato have
found that Is late keeper; but it has the one
fault of being liable to rot in very hot weather,
but not 30 liable to rot as the Snow fake.
The alpha is SPLENDID early variety, we'll
shaped, with good color. of an excellent quail
ty; but it is light cropper, although it is per-
fectly hardy.
q beautiful color. and it is unsurpassed as a
cropper. It is entirely healthy. With the
cooking of the Early Ro-e and the Peachblow
combined, it will be preferred by many to any
other.

1t is large chopper, with no small cues. 1t is
very white. with white flesh. 1t is e0t'rely
healthy. it cooks dry, and the flavor is all that
can be desired.
There are others that have goods points, but
cannot fully recommend Them. Another sea-

Sulphur fer Scaret Fever.

The London Lancet, which is as high medi.
cal authority as any publication OF its kind in
the world, publishes communication from DR..
Henry PiaiOn, detailing the marvellous succrss
that has attended his treatment of scarlet fever
by sulphur He says all the cases he has treat
cd were we'll marked, and upon recovery the
epidermis (tbe outside skiD,) came away like
the skin of q snake. The following was the
exact treatment followed in each case: Thor
oughly anoInt the patient twice daily with sui
phur ointment; give five to zen grains of sui
phur in q little jam three times day. Suffi-
Gent sulphur was burned twice daily ION Goals
on q shoveI) to fill the room with the fumes,
and, of course. was thoroughly inhaled by the
patient Under this mode of treatment, each
case improved immediatey and none were over
eight days in making q complete recovery.
The doctor expresses his belief that thi. treat
mrnt bot ouly cures the patent, but prevents
the disease from spreading; and concludes his
communication by remarking that the very
mildest cases be ever saw do not do half so
we'll Is bad cases do by the sulphur treatment;
and that, as far as he can judge, sulphur is as
near specific for the disease as is possible.
Considering the fact that sulphur is ONE of the
principal Ingredients in snlpho carbolate of
sodium. the remedy which has been applied
with 80 much success by DIR. Be+be of Chicago
for several mouths past, to the cure of the dis
ease IN that CITY, 1t IS quite likely that the sui

Pastry.

For eight pies take 81 pounds of -four and
pounds of butter; rub Que pound of butter in
to the -four; beat the yolks of two eggs very
light; add to them little more than a ri mt Of
ice water; mix up the -four with this; avoid
working any. Put the dough on board and
roll ous into thin Sheet Divide the remain
ing pound of butter into three portions. Cut
up ont of the thirds into small pieces all over
the rolled out dough; dust little -four over
the surface; fold one half over the other, then
fold the other way and roll out thin. This
must be dohs three times and your pastry
is then ready for the oven. Line pie plate
with piece of the pastry rolled very thin;
trim the edges and put around the edge OF the
paste on top of the bottom crust thin rim of
pastry an inch wide. now put 10 the fruit and
cover with thin top crusr. Press down the
edges with your thumb, stick the top several
tunes with knife and bake in o moderately
hot oven. The result of your labor will be
pleasing, for you will find on taking your pies
from The oveI that the crust will be an inch or
more in thickness, and perfectly light and
faky. Every layer made in rolling IL will
show Besides being ''goodly to look at =" the
pies will be healthy aid palatable. When

Apple Tree Berers.

There has been much ss;d about that de-
stroyer of the apple tree, aud still the cry comes
to us, "Whst shall We do with the boIer?" To
the reader of this, let me say, don't have any
thing 10 do with the "varmini." do not treat it
30 well, and you can depend upon it, it will not
trouble you. You furnish it plenty of muck,
weeds and filth at the foot of the tree, and YOU

for you diligently. Now do not do this, it is
too expensive.
Now for the preventive; there is no patent on

of all kinds for three or four feet around the
tree, and you can depend upon the borer stay

POETRY.
The Revenge OF Raln.in.the Face.
By HENRY W. LoNoFELLow.

In that desolate land and lone,
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone
Roar down their mountain path,
By their fires the Sioux Chiefs
Muttered their woes ami griefs
And the menace of their wrath
"Revenge!" cried Rain-in-the-face'
"Revenge upen all the race w
OF the White Chief with yellow barr"
And the mountains dark ana hlgn
From their crags re-echoed the cry
of his anger and despair.
In the meadow, spreading wide
BY woodland and river side
The Indian village stood;
All was silent as dream,
Save the rushing OF the stream
And the blue jay in the wood.
In his war paint and his beads,
Like bison among the reeds,
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Day with three thousand braves
Crouched in the clefts and caves,
Savage, unmeIciful!
Into the fatal snare
The White Chef with yellow hair
And his three hundred men
Dashed headlOng, sword in hand;
But of that gallant band
Not one returned again.
Tue sudden darkness OF death
Overwhelmed them, like the breath
And smoke of furnace fire;
BY the rivers banks, and between
TIE rocks Of the ravine,
They lay in their bloody attire.
But the foeman fed in the night,
And Northumberland in his flight,
Up'iited high in air
As q CHASTITY trophy, bore
The brave heart, that beat no more.
OF the White Chief with yellow hair.
Whose was the right and the wrong?
Sing IL, o funeral song,
With voice that IL full of tears,
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all this ruin and seattle,
In the Year Of Hundred Years.
