Two Snakes Kill u RacOOD.

A fishing party, on the banks of Shoal
Creek, Jasper county, Missouri, heard a
noise in the u~nderbrush, and going In
the direction of the sound saw a large
coon and two large black snakes in dead
ly combat, the former getting the worst
Of the fight, One of the reptiles was
coiled around the coon's body, and when
ever it attempted to use its teeth the
other snake struck at its eyes. II at
tempted TO retreat, but the snake which
encircled it dropped a coil, and as quick
as thought took a "haIEhitch" around
a small sapling. 1t tried hard to pun
loose, and while its energies were bent
in hat direction, the other snake took a
coil around the coon's neck, aud in Il few
minutes choked the life out of it. The
spectators who had been dumb witnesses
Of the struggle, advanced and killed the
victors. One measured nine feet and
other seven feet six inches st. Louis

Mile.toue, on the Road TO Health.

The recovery Of digestion and the resump.
ton Of activity by the liver, bowels and
kidneys are milestones which mark our pro.
gress on the road to health. They speedily
become perceptible when Hostetter's Sto,
mach Bitters is used by the invalid. Nothing
so surely and expeditiously consumes the
distance to the desired goal. AS no bodily
function can suffer interruption without i'm
pairing the general health Of the system, so
the system can never acquire perfect vigor,
heallh's synonym, until that function be
actively resumed. Take, for instance, diges.
ton, a suspension Of which is invariably
rectified by the Bitters. II the organs upon
which il devolves grow weak, biliou.ness,
constipation, headache, poverty OF the
blood, and a hundred other symptoms su.
pervene, which indicate Enthusiastically the
baneful general influence Of dyspepsia. The
Disappearance Of all these symptoms
through the use Of the Bitters shows with
what thoroughness il removes their cause.

In planting cut the vine back two

In planting cut the vine back two
buds, whatever It's strength or age.
Summer pruning consists in pinching
off weak and struggling shoots in order
10 con6ne the zap to the main branches,
The first summer allow but II main
shoot 10 grow. In the fall, after the first
frost, cut all the summer growth back
10 within two buds OF the ground,
The second year c0nine the zap to
two branches, and in the fall cut back
10 three buds each.
The third year, if your vine has made
vigorous growth, a few stems Of grapes
may be allowed 10 mature, but better
take of all the fruit than to suffer too
much to grow,
Too heavy bearing while young will
weaken the vine for all future time.
The trimming now depends on what
kind of %trellis you wish to cover.
After you have obtained n good vig0r'
Gus root, you can make it grow in almost
any place or shape you wish, by keeping
tho branches desired tied up, and all the
Others pinched back.
Each year a few OF the strongest
branches should be allowed to grow AZ
bearers Of fruit the following year.
In trimming cut away AZ much OF the
old wood as possible and save the new,
as all tho fruit buds are on the. new.
You can easily tell how much TO cut
away by holding your new wood up to
the %trellis, and imagine n branch with
three stems Of grapes for each bud.
II you do not cut of enough in the
fall, and you find that the vine il going
TO be TOO thick, do not fail to attend to
it when the shoots are from three TO six
inches long, in the spring, or while in
blossom. AZ 0 0 IA the fruit is ret exS
anime the vine spread out the new
wood 30 that each bunch Of grapes will
hang free and clear; pick off all the
small stems OF fruit, and fasten the vines
securely, 10 that the wind will not de,
stroy your crop by breaking the young
and tender branches.
When the wood has grown 10 that
there are three leaves beyond the last
bunch Of grapes examine the vine,
select the branches you wish to rave for
fruit.bearing the coming year, and keep
them tied up until they have grown ~
long as you wish to make use Of. The
ends of the other bearing branches
should be pinched off IN sOon as they
reach this point, "three leaves beyond
the last stem OF grapes"
Break off all shoots and l~aterals IA
they make their appearance, but on no
account iDjure the leaves on their bear
ing canes.
The fruit will color but not ripen if
the leaves are destroyed.
Grapes for fall and winter use should
be packed IA soon as ripe. and when
perfectly dry, packed in tiue dry saw
dust. Select your box or jar, cover the
bottom with Bawdust, then layers of
grapes and sawdust alternately until
full. Keep them in the coolest place
you can find free from frost, until
wanted for use.

THE CARE or CHILDREN.
Plain nBd simple Rules 90 be Observed
by Mothers During The Hot SehsOn.

~ Wv VII ~ aA"s
Tho Board OF health of New Yorl
has published the following rules for the
care OF children during the hot season,
which apply quite as well to children in
| Nashville M TO those in New York:
NURSING OF INFANTS.
Overlooking docs more harm than any
thing else; nurse an infant a month or
two every two or three hours.
Nurse an infant of six months and
over five times in twenty-four hours. and
no more.
If an infant is thirsty, give it pure
water or barley water no sugar.
On the hottest days a few drops OF
whisky may be added to either water or
food the whisky not TO exceed a tea
spoonful in twenty four hours.
FEEDING OF INFANTS.
Boil a teaspOonful Of powdered barley
ground in coffee grinder) and a gill of
water, with II little salt, for fifteen
minutes, strain, then mix it with half as
much boiled milk, add a lump Of white
sugar, size of a walnut, and give it luke
warm, from a nursing bottle. Keep
bottle and mouth.piece in a bowl OF
water when not in use, TO which a little
s,da may be added.
For infants five or six months old,
give half barley water and half boiled
milk, with salt and a lump of sugar.
For older infants, give more milk than
barley water.
For infants very c~ostive, give oatmeal
instead Of barley. Cook and strain as
before.
When your breast milk is only half
enough, change off between breast milk
and this prepared food.
In hot weather, if blue litmus paper,
applied to the food, turns red, the food
is too acid, and you must make a fresh
mess, or add a small pinch of baking
soda.
Infants of six months may have beef
tea or beet soup nee a day, by itself, or
mixed with other food; and when ten or
twelve months old, a crust of bread and
n piece Of rare beef to suck.
No children under two years ought TO
eat at your table.
Give no candies, in fact, nothing that
Is not contained in these rules, without
a doctors orders.
SUMMER COMPLAINT.
1t comes from overlooking, and hot and
foul air. Keep doors and windows open.
Wash your children well with cold
water twice n day, and oftener in the hot
season.
Never legIect looseness of tho bowels
in IN infant; consult the family or dis
pensary physician at once, and he will
give you rules about what it should take
and how it should be nursed. Keep
your rooms as cool AZ possible, hay We them
well ventilated, and do not allow any bad
smell to come from sinks, privies, garbage
boxes, or cutters about the house where
you live. See that your own apartments
are right, and complain to the board of
health, If tho n%eighborhood il offensive.
Where IN infant is CROSS and irritable in
the hot weather a trip on the water will
do it a great deal of good (ferryboat or
steamboat), and may prevent cholera
mtantum.

According to statement submitted at a re

pears that the tithing received in the past four
months amounts to $4,000. The question now
arises among the people, what did Brigham
Young do with the large amount thus derived
in thirty years at the rate of a million and a
half year? Brigham's household expenses
must have been very large. Polygamy is un :
