Pastor Of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at
PtttSton, LuzerDe County, Pa.
My Dear Str:-Having at various times person.
ally, and In my own and other families tested the
SYRUP, or PROTECTED SOLUTION OF PROrOX-
IDE OF IRON, most cheerfuly recommend it.
especially to those who are suffering from dyspep.
tic and nervous disorders. As reliable and pow
erful Alternative 1t is l think, unsurpassed; and
Of alcoholic remedies, 1t is most efficient auxil-
larry TO the temperance cause. One OF the greatest
hindranceS to the temperance reform at present is
as think the medical use of alcoholic stimulants
Whatever may be argued as to their necessity In
certain cases, We have In the PERUVIAN SYRUP q
safe and efficient substitute for those dangerous
remedies. This testimony is given unsolicited,
with the hope that some who are not yet &C.
Quainted with the valuable properties OF the medI-
cine may be induced to give 1t trial.
Yours truly, JOHN GREGORY,

old boy named Willie Layman, son of George

playing in yard in rear of his fathers bake

of pigs, strayed into tine Enclosure and quietly
approached him, The child paid no attention
to the intruder, but, unfortunately, the latter

Selling him by the leg pulled him Oft his feet.
standing over him, inflicted some dreadful
wounds upon his person. A large piece of
flesh was literally torn off his left arm above
the elbow by the powerful jaws of the swine;
another wound was made in one of his hands,
and the left hip was terribly lacerated as we'll
as the calf OF the leg. The boy struggled man

agonized cries of the little fellow while this
combat was going on attracted the attention

turned upon Mrs. Layman but the timely ar

VENTILATING THE SEwERs.-Mr. Henry E.
Knapp, civil engineer, New York, has recently
attacked the theory of ventiating sewers and
drains. He asserts that the sewer gases are
heavier than air, and would remain near the
surface of the ground if set free, and therefore
It would be just as sensible to ventilate graves.
He contends that the only safe way to deal
with the sewers is to give them plenty Of water
and see that proper waves are used. In CON-
faeIIIag upon MI aknapp's views me Mana
been in favor OF keeping the sewer gases
where they belong-in the sewers. Experience
has taught US that ventilating openings, even
ing and perniciOus Odors around the place of
their exit. To ventilate them in the street or
sidewalks In front of the residences, as recon-
contrivances for this purpose, we most EN-
ically condemn, especially when the water
supply Is sufficient to dilute and wash the con-
not the least necessity for it,"

"A HEROINE OF THE FRANCO PRUSsIAN
by the French republic with the red ribbon of
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, for valua-
bic services to the country, was a young woman
named Jul1ette DOdu, who was telegraphic
operator at Pithiviers during the Prussian in
vasiOn. In 1870, while the invaders were Occu-
plying Glen, she had charge of a telegraphic
station there. The PruSsians established them
selves in a room adjoining her Office, and as
sumed the duties Of sending and receiving dis
patches. But as it happened, the wires passed
oner: She cut the wires. reversed the current,
and herself received the Prussian dispatches.
BY them she learned that the French army was
haste to give warning to the French, and so
saved them from q disaster that seemed to be
trayed her, and she was seized aud was about
to be shot, when the news of the armistice ar
rived and she was saved. She is rewarded,
after eight years, by the red ribbon, and Is
probably the first woman ever made knight
Of the Legion OF Honor.

Strengthening up crooked Trees
Often in a fine orchard we find
one or more trees leaning over 30
far 40 to destroy the beauty OF the
whole orchard. 1t is also more diff
cult TO cultivate around leaning
tree. This trouble may easily be
retnedied while the trees arc young
BY partly digging up aud replanting
them. The roots will be found small
est on the side from which the tree
leans, therefore these cots should
be loosen cd from the earth and the
tree set in perpendicular position
and carefully fastened by stakes and
guys and the earth replaced around
the roots. 1t would be we'll to add
some rich compost to promote their
growth. II, as is very probable, the
top Of the tree has become one sided,
it should be pruned 80 as to restore
the balance. In this way we have
"righted up pear trees six inches
through the stem, but the best way
is to look after the young trees and
not permit them to depart from the
way OF .uprightness.

Horses Driven TO Ercess. By
driving to excess we mean that
horses ara pulled and jerked, and
twitched too much with the reins.
There is too much guiding with the
reins. Concerning this subject, the
"Prairie Farmer says Gu TRUTH
that the most vicious and inexcusa-
BILE style of driving is the manner
which so many adopt, to wit I: Wrap.
ping the lines around their hands
and pulling the horse backwards
with all their might and main, SO
that the horse, in point of fact, feels
the weight back of him with his
mouth, and not with his brest aud
shoulders. This they do under the
impression that such dead pull is
needed in order to steady tho horse.
The fact is with rare exceptions,
there should never be any pull upon
the horse at all. A steady pressure
is allowable, probably advisable but
any thing beyond this has no justifi.
cation in nature or reason. For ma
ture suggests the utmost freedom OF
action OF the head, body and limbs,
in order that the animal may attain
the highest rate of speed. In speed-
ing a horse the lines need seldom be
grasped in both hands when the
road is straight and FREQ from OBJ
structions. The true way to drive is
to let the horse drive himself, the
driver doing little but directing him
and giving him that confidence
which q horse gets himself only
when he feels that a guide and a
friend is back OF him."

Heaces ia Xorses.eThe majority
OF horses affected with the heaves
arc immoderate feeders. In fact,
experience has proved that over dis
tending the stomach and bowels
with food particularly with an in
ferior article of provender) is one of
the chief causes Of heaves. According
to this theory the principal means Of
cure rests entirely with the owner,
who should enforce judicious sys-
tenn Of feeding both as to quantity
as we'll as quality. Good sound oats,
free from dust, must, &C., should be
selected and fed morning and noon,
carrots or cut feed can be fed at night
The animal should be fed three
times day only, and the quantity
Of food given should be limited in
proportion to the labor the animal
has to perform. A little prairie hay
may be fed at night, and should be.
well shaken and sprinkled with salt
and water previous to being fed.
We do not think it advisable to turn
a horse affected with the heaves to
grass, simply because the morbid
desire for food would be very likely
to return, and the animal would, no
doubt, improve the opportunity to
crafty its depraved appetite. The
nature Of the food is also such that,
comparatively speaking, it would
take much larger bulk to sustain
the vital functions than food fed in a
moro concentrated form, consequent.
ly the stomach and bowels would be
preternaturally distended, and the
constant strain ON the coats of the
stomach would, no doubt, relax and
weaken its natural functions.-
Heaves is complicated disease of
the digesti ve and respiratory organs,
and we must admit that vegetable
food, on account Of its laxative prop.
critics, constitutes an excellent diet
for horses affected with this malady;
but we insist that it must be fed in
limited quantities, otherwise it will
be productive OF more harm than
good. On the whole, we believe o
horse with the heaves can be made
very useful, II not effeotually cured,
by 3 proper system Of feeding bat
