A Centipede's Deadly Claws.

Several MeXicans We're in camp at the
mouth of Memphis Greek, Utah Terri
tory, and were lying about the fire, when
one of them, Telstore Crucas, saw a
large centipede, fully nine inches long,
travelling slowly over his leg. Knowing
that the least motion would make it sink
its deadly claws into his skin, without
moving his leo he got out his revolver,
and waited until the beast had almost
reached his knee, when, slowly putting
the mouth of the pistol to his head, he
pulled the and the centipede was gone.
But centipede's claws are quicker than
gunpowder, and CrucaS, began TO cramp
in few minutes, the track of the reptile
along his Leo turned a brownish yellow,
and the place where it was killed swelled
up frightfully. Crucas rapidly grew
worse. and in little over four hours. at
terward he died in great agony. But
the most singular part of the story Is that
the bullet from Crucas's pistol cut
small nick in the foreleg of 4 mule that
was tethered near by, and at daylight
next morning the mule was also dead,
with its leg so swollen that the skin had
burst in several places.-CenoR County

The browning ornament of all is the
fireplace fernery. 1t is very simply and
cheaplv made, and yet is one of the
handsomest decorations for Il parlor,
sittino-room or dining-room. A box,
about three or four inches deep and fit
ted perfectly to the fireplace, so as TO
present the appearance of being por-
ton of the mantel, is made of common
wood, lined with tin or zine SO as not to
leak, and then painted in any color that
will best accord with the color of the
mantel. If the mantel is white marble,
the box is more effective when black. A
very simple and inexpensive method of
initiating ebony is to blacken the box
with burnt wood and then coat it with
black varnish, which must be well ap-
piled so as to produce Il good polish.
All communication with the chimney
should be well shut off, and the back of
the fireplace covered with panel-paper,
which may portray ''deep and gloomy
wood cleaner, Il stork, Cupid
in bower of roses, or any
scenery preferred. The box is then
furnished with rich soil, and well filed,
but not crowded, with ferns surrounded
by moss; and if the fireplace is very
large, moss-covered rocks may be used
with charming effect for filling in. In
this event, the ferns should be planted
between the rocks; and the more natu-
raj the arrangement, the handsomer the
result. Every particle of earth should be
covered with moss, and an ivy placed in
each end of the box should be carefully
trained along the margin of the fire
place to simulate Il bower. The roots
and foliage of the plants should be well
watered every day, as ferns require u
great deal of moisture.
This arrangement makes an exceed
ingly handsome fireplace ornament and
so long as careful attention is bestowed
upon it, the fernery will keep nice and
green and will continually be improving
in appearance. A fancy mat of some
kind placed in front of the fernery will
heighten the pretty effect of the room so
decorated. -DeIincatOr for 4uquS

HOUSEHOLD DECORATIONS.
Hints for the Inexpensive Embellishmen
Of

When furnishing a home, the first
thought should be in regard to the APP
pearance of the walls. Sleeping apart
ments and kitchens are effective when
painted, but if this be too expensive an
undertaking, a little coloring material,
such as PIussian blue, ultramarine blue,
chrome-yellow or lake, according to the
tint required, may be mixed with the
kalsomine, the effect of the latter when
properly applied being just as satisfac-
tory as paint. Sitting-rooms, parlors
and dining-rOOms are very pretty when
either painted or papered, paper being
the least expensive, unless 1t be OF Supe-
rior quality.

The Improvement Of Farms.

: ~
In our Western country, or at least
the newer portion Of it, there is neces-
sarily constant improvement of
farms. A quarter section under cul-
tivation is more valuable than quar-
ter section of wild land. A quarter
section with a house on it is worth
more than one without any house, and
as buildings and other improvements
are added, there is necessarily an in
crease in the value of the land. Where
the country is older, and the farming
is poorly done, an increase in value
ceases, when buildings. fences, ETC.,
are completed and the soil is permitted
to run down. There must be some inn
provement, however. in a new country,
for actual necessity will compel it, and
in any section the repair Of wear and
tear should be considered a necessity
and should be viewed in the light Of
improvement.
All that is expended, however, in
those things which we call improve
.nlcnts, must necessarily lessen the net
profits of the farm, and usually there
is no account lnalie Of such expendi-s
lures at all when estimating the prof
its. In very many cases even the liv-
ing Of the farmer and his family is
not included in the estimate Of the
income of the farmer A family, per-
shaps. occupies house which could not
be rented in the country for less than
one hundred ard fifty dollars, and in
the city for not less than six hundred;

4 Pretty Story OF Garibaldi.

1t is Cen. Bardonne who describes
the entire career of Garibaldi as
mighty hunter in the following anec-
dote: "One evening in 1861. as the Cen
cral was going home, he met a Sardin-
ian shepherd lamenting the loss of
lamb out of his flock. Garibaldi at once
turned to his staff. who were with him,
and announced bis intention of scour-
ing the mountain to find that lamb. A
grand expedition was Immediately Or
ganized. Lanterns were brought and
the old officers of many a campaign
started off full of zeal to hunt the fugi-
tive, and veteran voices used to COM
mand were now heard bleating in ev-
cry valley End on the mountain crags.
After all hour or 50 of this no lamb
was found, and the soldiers were Or
dered to their beds. Next morning
Garibaldi's attendant found him in bed
fast asleep. He was surprised at this,
for the General was always up before
anybody else. The attendant went off
softly and returned in half an hour.
Garibaldi still slept. After another de-
lay, the attendant walked him. The
General rubbed his eyes, and so did
his attendant when he saw the old war
ri0r take from under the covering the
lost lamb and bid him convey it to the
shepherd. IN. D. Conavay, IN Cincins-
natl Commercial.

Gentle1nen,s Suits.

English styles Of dress are adopted
by gentlemen. This preference is most
conspicuous in the suits chosen for
business, for travelling and morning.
wear on the street. Scotch and En-
glish goods are chosen for the entire
suit in neat plaids, small checks and
narrow stripes. These suitings come
in many dark combinations Of color.
and are especially stylish in brown
shades; rough goods and plain surfaces
are both used. The most stylish coat
for rough cloths is the sack fastened
by three buttons; for plain goods is .
cut-awsy coat fitted into the figure,
which is also fastened by three buttons.
The vest of the same material as the
coat, is single-breasted, buttons high,
and has no collar. The straight panta-
looms are also of the same goods. The
hat is a stiff, round crown Derby Of
felt of the color of the suit, or else
black. i
The semi-dress suit is. used for
church, visiting, driving and for gen.
eral afternoon wear, being often seen at
church-weddings and day receptions.
It consists of the Prince Albert frock-
coat made of diagonal cloth, or else of
the thin beaver cloth known to dealers
es ''faced beaver.'' The vest of the
same is double- breasted. The panta-
loons are no longer gray or lavender,
but are dark neat stripes and mixtures
of colors so closely combined as to give
the appearance of one color.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing tho stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baflled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time. the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
