A Pen Picture.

A few months, or even weeks, since, her
paid countenance was the very type OF ruddy
health-the delight of the school and the prlde
of the household. She was always welcome
wherever duty or pleasure led her. DlllSent
punctual and exemplary, in the classroom,
obedient and loving at home, she won lile
hearts of ALL But alas those glowing cheeks
and lips are now blarched by consumption
The voice once so enchanting IN laugh ana
song is feeble, husky and broken by hollow
cough. Let us approach her eouch ana gent
" take her bloodiess hand in our own. DO
not shudLer because of its feeble passionlesS
grasp The hand once so warm and plump
shows its bony outlines, while the cords ana
tortuOus veins are plainly mapped upon It's
surface. The pulse that bounded with repie,
ton, imparting beauty, yivacity, health anu
strength, to the system, is delicate to the
touch. The enervated heart feebly propels
the thin, scanty blood. Must we lose her
while vet so young and so fair! No. Ihere
is relief But something more is required
than the observance or hygienic rules, 1Or en-
feebled nature calls for aid and she must have
it. Administer this pleasant medicine. IL Is
invigorating. 1t allays the irritable cough,
improves the appetite and digestion, and sends
a healthy Jingle through her whole being. Inc
blood is enriched, nervous power increased,
: and the heart bounds with new Impulse.
Her face brightens-the blood is returning,
her voice is clearer, and her requests are no
longer delivered in that peevish, fretful tone
SO deadening to sympathy. Her step. is still
faltering, but strength is rapidly returning.
Let us take her out in the warm, life-giving
sunshine. In few weeks she will go with
out our aid and be able to join her compan-
ions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her
whole being ttwarmed and expanded into per-
feet life.p The change is so great that we
think she is sweeter and nobler than ever be-
fore. And the medicine which has wrought
this transformation, we look upon as bless
ing to humanity, for there are other loved
ones to be rescued from the grasp OF the IN
sidious DESTROYER. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has raised her. 1t will raise

moths, which fall into the water and are
killed. A trap of this kind has caught
several hundred moths End hestles in
one night, all of which would have pfc-
duced thousands of cut-worms.
The potato-beetle is too well known
to need further notice than to say that
the earliest means of repression are the
most effective. Hand picking is the
best method at first, during the time
when the beetles ore laying their eggs,
as then they eat very little. After that,
Paris green is the only remedy that can
be depended upon. Although it is a
dangerous Substance when used care
less1y, yet the knowledge of this fact,
as with gunpowder, nitro-glycerine, and
fire, is enough to induce sufficient cat'
ton to make it perfectly safe. We have
found the spraying of the green III
mixture With thin glue-water, or water
and little mo1asses, Is the best method,
as there is no possible danger of breath
ing any dust as when a dry mixture
with flour or plaster is used; Ashes,
lime, and other such materials h5ys been
found completely useless with US.
In regard to all these pests, immediate
attacks upon them are the best. A busy
farmer may we'll ask, J." How shall l find
time TO take all these rf1easures?" 1t Is
tax upon time and patience, 1t Is true
but it is the price we have TO pay fof
our fruit and other crops. A regular
system will be found economical of
labor and time. Method is necessary
for stccess. Much of the work may be
done by voting children, who will soon
take an interest in 1t. Otherwise, now
that labor is cheap, it would pay to
hire an extra hand for few odd days
during the season, so that time can be
found to attend to this business. If the
work were regularly, generally, and
thoroughly done for one season or two,
there would be an end made of most
of these enemies with ease.-Neto Yerb

To mount to this realm is a toll, to be sure,
But the fire there is bright and the air is

And the view behold on a sunshiny day

This snug little chamber is crammed, in all
hooks,
with worthless old knicknacks and silly old
books
And foolish old odds and foolish old ends,
Cracked bargains from brokers, cheap keep

There's one that love and cherish the best;
For the finest of couches that's padded with

A Simple Refrigerator.

A correspondent of an exchange
writes: / performed simple expert
ment few days ago; and when en-
planned the public will properly appre-
tiate it. procured an air-tight barrel
and put cake of ice into iii also about
a quart of salt. On this ice and salt l
put tin bucket two-thirds full of luke
warm water. then covered the barrel
with a blanket folded two or three times
and sack half filled with sawdust.
This covering made the barrel air-tight.
Nv object was to freeze the air inside
the barrel. The salt melting the ice
took the heat from the air. Ice can not
melt without heat. Salt has great af-
finity for water, and attacks or forces
the ice to melt. A solid can not become
a liquid, nor liquid a gas, without
heat-for instance, water can not be-
come steam without heat. The ice melt
ing took heat from the air inside the
barrel, which took the heat from the
lukewarm tFator, 1t giving off the heat
to equalize the temperature Ill the barr
rel. The water became frozen or form
ed ice by giving away heat to melt the
ice. Thus YOU see ice was turned into
water, and water Gin the tin bucket)
into lie. What I wanted to get at
was a cheap and simple refrigerator.
Every one could make or have
refrigerator of this kind, A small
quantity eff ice and shlt Would freeze an
air-tight room full of air, but it wotld
take room full of ice and salt to freeze
q. room full of water. ANY one can put
a box in box and surround it on all
ides with saw-dust and cover it over as
| did. The other points to watch are
only two, viz: To keep air out and pre-
serve temperature, aiid by freezing the
air inside the box, barrel or chamber,
the latent heat of all objects inside OF
these chambers is given off, and they IN
turn become frozeii. This idea OF prln-
ciple could be applied to a box, house
or barn, or carried to any magnitude.
Refrigerating cars, slaughter-houses,
etc., could be conducted on this plan,
and in fact by adding salt and ice
enough any temperature could be ac-
uuired, and all articles at any season,
inside of this air-tight chamber, would
be frozen. The queer part of my ex-
pertinent was that thought by freezing
the air in the barrel would find ice on
the top of the bucket of water, but to
my astonishment, at the time, it had
formed at the bottom more than two
inches. If l had put a non-conductor
between the ice, salt and water, the ice
would have formed on top.

scarcely anyone viii dispute, but just the
means to be used may be- and is, debatable.
Death ell come TO all; and loss by fire of the

the dreadful explosion at Minneapolis, or az
the dead hour Of midnight, or perchance when

is but one, and only one remedy or security,
and that is a Policy OF Insurance in some good
sound Insurance Company.
And among all the companies doing business

better Security to the farmer and those owning

Company, of Chicago. Combining Its insurance

The withdrawal of the Duke

The withdrawal of the Duke of Ed
inburgh from the fleet is due (says a
London correspondent to the opinions
which he holds as much as his connec-
ton with the Russian royal family. He
have made no secret of his APPROVAL of all
Russia has done, and has even spoken
with the utmost frankness to strangers
who has recently visited him. In this
case, as during the Franco-German war,
his elder brother aud himself have open
ly taken opposite sides. Then the
Prince of Wales gave his sympathy to
France, while the Duke as future Ger
man ruler was warmly in favor OF Ger
many. Now the Prince has not conceal
ed his sympathy with Turkey, while the
Duke is not only strongly in favor OF
Russia, but far from friendly to the pol
icy of his own country.
