Craftsmanship in this country
can have no higher end nor aim
than to keep labor employed, for it
is the essential factor of prosperity;
indeed, without it there can be no
prosperity. 1t is necessary that
measures especially designed to
give laboring men employment
should be brought forward, but it is
important that laws should be en-
acted calculated to depress labor
and thereby reduce its wealth pro

About Wearing Flannel.

A writer who knows, writes as fol-
lows of the value of wearing wooden
flannel: "Put it on at once. Winter
or summer, nothing better can be worn
next to the skin than loose, red,
wooden undershirt, ''loose," for IL has
room to moves on the-skin, thus causing
a Utilization which draws the blood to
the surface and keeps it there, and,
when that is the case, no one can take
a cold; ''red," for white flannel fills up,
mats together and becomes tight, stiff,
heavy and impervious; "woolen," not
of Gotten wool, because that merely
absorbs the moisture from the surface,
while the wooden Aannel conveys it
from the skin and deposits it in drops on
the outside of the shirt, from which the
ordinary cotton shirt absorbs it, and, by
its nearer exposure to the exterior air, it
is soon dried without injury to the body.
Having these properties, red woolen
flannel is worn by sailors even in mid
summer i'm the hottest countries.

Mullen as a Cure for Consumption.


A correspondent writes as follows
about the flower of a well known plant:
have discovered remedy for con-
sumption. 1t has cured number of
cases after bleeding at the lungs had
commenced and the hectic flush was al
ready on the cheek. After trying this
remedy to my own satisfaction, / have
thought that philanthropy required that
1 should let it be known to the world.
It is common mullen stepped strongly
and sweetened with coffee sugar, and
drank freely. Young or old plants are
good dried in the shade and kept in clean
bags. The medicine must be continued
from three to six months, according to
the nature of the disease. 1t is very
good for the blood vessels also. 1t
strengthens and builds up the system,
instead of taking away the strength it
makes good blood and takes infiamma-
ton away from the lungs. 1t is the
wish of the writer that every periodical
in the United States, Canada and Europe
should publish this recipe for the benefit
of the human family. Lay this by and
keep it in the house ready for use.-

Kerosene as a Hair Touic.

The subjoined recipe is an instanta-
neOus and thorough remedy for an
itching scalp. 1t is the best hair invig-
orator and shampoon in existence, and
leaves the hair in the most beautiful
condition, bringing out all it's natural
tints, and leaves the scalp as white and
pure as baby's. l don't care how
thick the dandruf, it will clean it in a
moment, and If there is a root of hair
left it will start new crop. Take two
or three tablespoonfuls of kerosene and
rub with little piece of rag lightly into
the scalp just enough to moisten the
skin then wash the head in hot water,
in which little sal soda or ammonia
water has been put; use no soap; dry
thoroughly and (if LADY, let the hair
hang free till perfectly dry. Do this
about once in two weeks and you will
have no trouble of any kind with the
outside of your head. / used it for an
itching scalp, and was surprised TO find
thick underground of new hair after
two or three applications.

BOrax for Colds.

A writer in the "Medical Record"
cites number of cases in which borax
is proved q most effectual remedy in
certain forms of colds. He states that
in sudden hoarseness, or loss of voice in
public speakers or singers from colds,
relief for an hour or 50, as by magic,
may often be obtained by slowly dis
solving, partially swallowing, a lump
of borax the size of a garden pea, or
about three or four grains, held in the
mouth for ten minutes before speaking
or singing. This produces profuse
secretion of saliva, or watering" of
the mouth and throat-probably restor-
ing the voiceor tone to the dried vocal
cords, just as wetting brings back the
missing noteslto flute when it is too
dry.

Fultz Wheat Condemned.

The new varieties of wheat which In
the last few years have been popular in
our agricultural districts, do not appear
to meet with much favor among the
milers of the State. The following
resolution was adopted ut the Millers'
Convention held in Lancaster last
week:
ResolUed, That this society will dis
courage the growing of Fultz and Claw
son wheat. For milling purposes they
are not desirable, and have been the
cause of much of the complaint about
our -four. We suggest Lancaster, Old
Mediterranean, Boughton, Shoemaker,
Canada White, Deal and Wick be grown
in preference.
The resolution met with but one op-
posing vote.

Eyposjng C0rruptiou.

Harrisburg, May 2l.-The investiga-
ton is OH its last legs, so far as exami-
nation of witnesses Is concerned.
There is no telling, however. what
may turn up unexpectedly, even ct the
last moment. There were some I'm
portant disclosures to-day which sur
prised even Wolfe, so well had the
members approached kept their own
counsel. Maclay, who brought out
something fresh about Petrof and
Salter, and Miller, who gave Kimble
about the worst blow he received, have
positively resisted all opportunities to
indicate the tenor of their testimony
in advance. Both are sensitive as well
as honorable men, and do not care to
be mixed up in the matter, even in the
best of characters, If 1t were possible
to keep out of it. Four members have
now made more or less direct charges
of corrupt solicitation against Kemble,
but the committee has so far declined
to give Kemble's own testimony to
the public, or rather the House has de-
clined to allow a member of the COM
! mitted to move that the whole testi-
mony shall be printed and the official
repoet of Kemble'sis not to be allowed
to go out by itself Rumberger is fas-
tened down by the testimony of Sill
verthorn, whose honesty is vouched for
by Wolf. Short, Underwood and others.
Petroff, of Philadelphia, is implicated
by Watson, of Mercer, and Maclay of
Mifflin, while detective Franks makes
u minor charge against him of rowdy.
ism in connection with the matter
under investigation. George F. Smith,
Philadelphia, is confronted by charges
of solicitation made by Knitle, of Co
lumbia and Luzerne. E. H. Clark, of
Philadelphia, rests under a like charge,
made by Foster, of Lehigh, and Sher-
wood, of York, is arraigned by his co.
league, Bowman. Ex-Representative
Salter is accused by many witnesses of
being Kemble's .'go. between" and
several smaller fish have not been able
to pass through the net. Altogether,
twenty-four Representatives say they
were corruptly approached in one way
or another to secure their support of
the riot bill, and nineteen have stated
under oath they were offered money,
directly or indirectly. Two thousand
dollars was the highest and three hun
dred the lowest price of votes, accord
ing to the reports oi these members.
This is an outline in brief Of the
results of the investigation to date,
but there are many details within
every readers memory that will &c
farther to show that it was very well
that it was undertaken, and that
Wolfe's labor of love has not gone fol
nothing.
