the subsistence of tue fever, as is usually lhe case in from 24 to 36 hours, purru. lent secretion begins to loosen the mem- brane, and soon hereafter, Co detach it in tlaky ragged fragments. This process may take place and recovery be possible, even when the larynx aud uachea are implicated. The membrane is seldom renewed, when this secretion is main. tained by steady use of the remedy. Alc0hOl is as antagOnislic to diphtheria as belAndOnna to opium, or quinia 10 malaria. Like any other anlidote, it must be given promlly at the outset, or otherwise it's potency will be lessened, perhaps lost altogether"
 "Alchohol does not act as stimulant, nor induce any of its ordinary effects. Enough may be given to cause profound intoXcation in health and yet there ex- is!s no signs of excitement or odor in the breath
 Quinia is an efficient alloy to alcohol 1t energizes the gangoiic system, and thus enables the organism to right itself and resume its function.
 Dr. Chapman sustans his position by citing numerous cases in which this treat ment was successful He states that, in his long experience, he only knew of one case where drunkard had the diphtheria He generally gives the alcohol in that form of whiskey.

HOW THE TURTLE DOVES ACT AT TABLE.


 The BreakfuSl Ia6le says: A bridal couple, with more style about them than grass widow, honored the Indiana House with their presence two or three days during the past week. They gave the dining room mighty tony leok by marching in at meal time arrayea in their new clothes, with white gloves on, and when old man Ryman first saw them he took one square look and then sat down his coffec-pot and went out into the kit chen and Mugned until his eyeba!ls felt pointed. In that supreme moment be felt that he Nas paid ten times over with compound interest for all the trials, vexa- lions and unpaid board bills encountered in his hotel experience since he left the old farm. f- When the dining room girl got her face straight enough to get behind their chairs and say Roast beef, roast pork, lamb, chicken Ur fish '"

Diphtheria.
A CURE WHICH HAS ALMOST WHOLLY RE II WED THE FATALITY OF THE DISEASE.

The Scjentjfe American says; Dr. E N Chapman, of Brooklyn, N, r., has discovered an antidote so the poison of diphtheria, by which the percentage of deaths is reduced to less than one in If ty. Statistics show that the percentage ~of recoveries in cases treated under the usual practice is about thirteen, CT eighty seven out of q hundred sufferers sue cumb to the fell disease
 Dphheria first appeared in this coun- try in 1858 Dr. Chapman in 1859 lost several cases and became dstrustful of regular methods. He had been using alcohol in the cure of ship fever, and he determined, though contrary to ali rules, to try it in diphtheria. To his surprise several of his patients recovered. He then tried quinia,and found that it acted well but not quickly At last he settled on combination of the two, alcohol and Qsinia, and with these remedies. he claims that diphlheria is more amenablc to treatment than many common diseases. In an epidemic such as diphthuriA, all are effected by the morbitc agent, but Il few only yield to it. Mature vigorous persons have vitality enough to resist the disease. Children and young adults are the usual subjects. Dr. Chapman considers that there is almost always, superadded a local and direct exciting cause. such as defective exercise, impro- per diet, dark rooms, damp houses, inl- perfect ventilation, and poisonous em- analions from decomposing filth in priv ies. ccsspools. sewer pipes. elc.

What it Meant.

A ruinous old mill, with the sunset throwing lurid glcam over it's mouIdy sides and moss-groWn roof and two young men facing each other in the full stream of tbe crimson light where it fell from wide aperture in the western wall. Outside, dccaying platform over hung the river, dark, rapid and deep, in one quiet eddy of which a cork danced and Aoaied idly on the waves.
 One of those confronting faces wns stamped with horror and grief unspeak able; the other sueering, demonical, exulling, murderous.
 Your own last freak has sealed your doom. tell you now that 1 have al- ways hated you with all my heart. Do you need 10 ask why Because you had il in your power to shower benefits upon mc-becausc you were planning to baulk me of all have schemed for years to possess, and because the whim which induced you 10 make your will in Alma Erruth favor has left the way clear for me to get both the girl 1 love and the fortune l have en yied you. whe': the slight impeachment of your life is remoy- ed from the way. She is in love with you now, and she has no great liking for me, butwomGn have been in worse hu- mors wooed; this woman shall find her self easily won" ....
 Thus Felix Rath, pouring forth the bitterness which had frsiered in his evil heart revealing himself in all his hideous moral deformity to Elmer Noble, who had held him as his dearest friend. The stupor of horror which had bound tue latter so far, broke.
 Heaven preserve her from such 4 fate. Heaven ajR defeat your yilaiaous purpose; it will never be permitted You To do this terrible crime.
 "Willit not? We shall soon see how far heaven will interfere.
 Quick as flash his arm went m and the heavy cane he carried descended with a dull lhud upon the others head The force of the blow sent Noble staggering back ward through lhe aperture ana out upon the toIierins platform.

There was d. con fused scene for mUnent of the black water stirred and agilaied by the de5rts, from the midst of winch hite. dea h. like face gleamed forth and then was struck downward by falling beam.

Making Wine from Grapes.

The grapes should be picked when
perfectly ripe, on dry day, all the
unripe, decaycd and imperfect ber-
ries being discarded. Crush them
in a small press, (not too severely,
if one is at hand, or it can be done
by the hand in a large tub; let the
mass remain in this state for fortyr
eight hours; then strain off carefully,
put in a thoroughly cleanscd keg or
barrel, so that the vessel is full,
leaving off the bung in order that
fermentation may have vent and
throw out the impurities; fill up with
reserved juice to keep tie vessel al"
ways full. At the end CT two or
three weeks, when the first ferment-
alton is over, rack off, drawing the
liquor carefully off by keeping it
constantly running, and removing it
into q scaldedrout tub; then scald
out the vessel again and return the
liquor; leaving the bung rather
loosely in its place, for the second
fermentation. When that is over,
bung up tightly, and let it remain for
at least six months, or altogether,
using it as it may be wanted. 1t is
better if racked off at the end Of six
months or longer, and put into from
two to FIVE gallon demijohns, though
the usual bottles will answer very
we'll. Unless you want excellent
vinegar, be sure to add sugar or
rock candy.-Germanto9ns Te3e-

Sorghum and COrnstalk Sugar.

The Washington correspondent of
Of the Baltimore Sun says Professor
Collier, chemist Of the Agricultural
Department, is engaged in some very
interesting experiments, the purpose
of which is to demonstrate the prac-
ticability of making sugar from sor>
shum and from common cornstalks.
Notwithstanding it has been asserted
that as result of the experiment it
has .been shown that the United
States can make its own sugar from
Indian corn. Professor Collier said
that all experiments thus far made
are merely tentative. The only fact
proved is that sugar can be made
from Indian corn and sorghum.
Whether any process can be devised
so that it can be made cheap enough
for practical use is question yet
undetermined. Prof. Collier hopes
to know within two Weeks.
The experiments thus far have
been very crude, the department not
being provided even with any rollers
for extracting juice, and being COM
PEELED to cut the stalks in an ordin
airy hay cutter, and to extract the
juice by pounding the cut stalks in
q mortar. 1t is demonstrated, how
ever, that Indian corn contains from
eight to ten per cent. of it's weight
in juice. What per centagc of that
Juice can be made into sugar can'
not be determined until more perfect
machinery has been obtained, which
will be very soon. The chief point
of process lies in clarifying the sugar
50 that it will crystalize. That this
can he done, is proved by the sam
pies of excellent brown sugar which
the chemist has obtained. Professor
Collier says that he will soon know
ten times more about the object than
nc now does, and that at present lie
can express only his confidence that
he can show that sugar can be suc'
cessfully and proftably made from
Indian corn and sorghum.

What n Farmer Ought to Know.

Afarmer ought to be not onlyan ac-
complished tiller of the soil, but also
an excellent mechanic, q fair harness
maker and mcnder of shoes, tole-
rable carpenter, a pretty good black
smith or machinist, and also a wide"
awake, thorough judge and breeder
of stock, knowing how to and caring
for their allments-not only horses
and cattle, but Sleeps, hogs mules,
poultry or anything that money can
be made ont of; With all this he
should be civil engineer, acquaint-
ed with levels and hydraulics and
repairs ofpumps, and if, in addition
to these requirements, he UNDER
stands laying stone and brick, and
putting on plastering, as we'll as
mixing and applying paints, he will
find plenty to do, to say nothing
about what he should know about
grain and milling it. His wife, and
in fact good housewives generally,
must not only understand house,
keeping, but she must be a good
cook, baker and confectioner, koow
how to make and fit garments of all
sorts for both sexes, and not only
be tailorcss, but milliner and man.
tua maker also. She must undcr~
stand canning fruits and vegetables,
and making both pickles and pre-
serves With these, the experience
of q few years observation as a
mother, ought to make her something
more than an ordinary physician.
Most ailments pertaining both to hu"
man beings and brutcs are but tri-
fling at first, and if taken in time
are easily cured. 1t is only by ne>
glect that they become serious.

MAIDENHOOD.

What happy stal shone on her birth
What grassy corner Ofthe earth
Grew daisies for her tiny feet
TO dance between. since they repeat,
On all the tlowerless ways they pass,
That breezy motion Of the grass:
What brook bewitched her to its brink,
And drew her fresh lips down 10 drink
Its music, while il slipped unseen,
Its happy cadences btwecn -
so sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush Of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room
TO her. and buiieited to tloeR.
Her rounded cheeks and made her hair
4 flying sunshine in the air -
For still, like sun-gleams on rose,
Her wayward color comes and goes.
What graybcard tree upon the down
Caught, as she sped, her floating gown
And whispered through his ancient girlh
The long dumb sorrow OF the earth -
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness overlies.
