1t is estimated that the annual dam
ages caused by the ravages of insects
and worms exceed $3.50, 000, 900 in the
United States alone. Truly an enor-
nous lossl Yet it sinks into insignit-
canoe when compared with the ravages
Of that more terrible scourge, Consump-
ton, which annually sweeps hundreds
Of thousands of human souls into eter-
nifty. The causes Of consumption are
various, depending In every instance
for the development of the disease upon
the ~scrofulous diathesis or temperament
Of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in II person an
attack OF acute disease or a slight ner-
vous prostration, will engender con-
sumption In a person of scrofulous
habit. That consumption can be cured
by proper treatment will be readily
perceived when the exact nature of the
disease is understood, viz: the accumu-
lation and deposition of scrofulous mat
ter (tubercles) in the lungs. Obviously
the principal remedies required are (1)
q powerful Alternative, or blood-puri-
fer, to arrest the accumulations and
also cleanse the blood OF the scrofulous
matter, and (2) a mild catharticto expel
the diseased matter from the system.
This course of treatment, In conjunc-
ton with q strict hyglenic regime, has
proved the most successful method Of
curing this disease. DR.. Plerce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets are the best Alternative
and cathartic remedies before the public,
and have been alone used in thousands
Of cases of consumption with the most
marked efficacy. DR.. Plerce's lnvalids'
Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y, affords special
and unequaled advantages to consump-
tives, not only possessing the best med
ical and hygienic mean of treatment,
but having the essential advantage Of
being situated In n climate where the
inhabitants are notably free from this
disease.

The reason that milk boils more quick
ly than water is because it is a thicker
liquid, and consequently less heat is
carried off by evaporation of steam
therefore the heat of the entire mass
will raise more rapidly. Again, there
is a thin skin which forms upon the top
of heated milk, which of course con-
fines the steam, and increases the heat.

a preventive of choking, if for nothing
else.

The principles of acoustics are but
poorly understood. AS a general rule
the ceilings of halls and churches
should be at a moderate elevation only.
Sometimes the hanging up of flags or
draperis will improve the acoustic pro-
perties, sometimes a hood or false cell
Ing becomes necessary. The whisper
ing gallery of st. Paul's. London, otfers
an interesting example of one of the
principles of acoustics.

FATTENING BEEvEs.-An agricultural
authority says as to beef, the most sue
oessful mode we have ever tried was to
fasten the animal to be fattened by the
horns to a stake in the stable, keeping
1t we'll bedded and never taking it out
until 1t was sold to the butcher or
slaughtered fir family use. All expen-
diture of muscular force takes from the
supply which the food constantly gives
and the net increase is lessened, and so
the quieter you a keep the animal the
better. All they will eat and the best
you can give them is the cheapest IN
the long run.

A HOLIDAY DNSKR.-If the principal
dish Is 10 be chicken pie, parboil your
chicken a and make up your crust he
evening previous. Make the crust as
you would raised bread, only rub some
shortening into the flour. For a family
OF five or six, you will want two three
pound chickens. In the morning roll
out the crust; spread a thin layer OF
lard over it; roll it up; cut into small
pieces; mold up; then roll a piece very
thin, large enough to cover a small
milk-pan, bottom and sides. Put In
your chickens, cut up, of course, but all
bones left In excepting the breast
bones. Add pepper and salt, and bits
of butter as you can afford; a very few
will do. Do not put IL In any water.
Roll out a crust the size of the top;
spread with butter If you have 1t to
spare; If not, with lard, sailing well;
sprinkle flour over, roll up and cut up
very nne, then roll out again and
spread very thin with butter or lard;
roll up, cut open in the middle, roll out
each piece the size Of a template, spread
just a bit of butter upon one and place
the other upon It; then roll out the
size of the top of your pie, cut a slit In
the middle and cover your pie. From
the trimmings make a roll as large as
your finger and put around the edge
of the pan and another around the cen
ter. Bake slowly ~ hours. Take the
water you parboiled the chicken in;
boil and thicken, add pepper and salt
and pour into the pie before taken from
the oven. Have pies instead of pud-
ding, as you can make them before
hand. II you have a goose TO roast.
wash and stuff the day before. Put 2
chopped onions into the stuting and
your goose will not taste oily. Parboil,
of course, before baking. That can al
so be done the day before. Your pOta-
toes can be washed and many little
things done the day before that will
save much time. Remember and have
patience and be good natured, as the
children will be troublesome comforts,
but better a dinner of her BIS and COM
fort than a big dinner an d contention.

BURYINd RooTs.-When turnipS,
beets and other roots are buried out
doors, the common mode for protecting
them from the frost is to put on a mod
crate layer of straw and then a thick
coat Of earth. But If more straw and
less earth are employed it will be better
for the roots, as they will be dryer,
the straw absorbing the moisture. A
neighbor has been in the practice of
placing sixty or seventy bushels of pO-
tatoes in each heap, covering them with
q foot of compact straw and three in
ches of earth. He has not lost n
bushel in a hundred. If straw cannot
be had In sufficient quantity, it is a
good way after covering with a few
inches of earth, to apply to the whole
exterior of the heap a layer of leaves.
These act as a non-conductor, and as
shingles, keeping the rain from entering
the inner coat. Another moderate
layer of earth completes the covering.
Ventilation is never to be omitted.

Injured to hardship and fatigue. Do
not beat your horses or speak to them
In a loud tone of voice; do not get

a long days journey, spare your horse
at the start; let him frequently walk to
recover his wind. Continue this until,
he has sweated and dried three times
and you may ask of him whatever you
please, he will not leave you in difficulty.
Observe your horse when he is drinking
at a brook. If in bringing down his
head he remains square, without bend
ing his limbs, he possesses sterling
qualities, and all parts of his body are
built symm critically. Four things he
must have broad-front, chest, loins

sign OF a good methodical housekeeper.
When stores are put away at hap hazard
and taken out at any time and In any
quantity, disorder and extravaganza
prevail. A store-roOm ought to be
large, airy, cool and dry. Such a room
is not always to be had, but even If a
closet has to be put up with, IL may be
kept clean. Shelves should be ranged
around the walls. hooks fastened TO the
edges OF the shelves. The driest and
coolest part Of the rooms should be kept
for jams, jellies and pickles. AL, the
jars should be distinctly labeled at the
front, so that they will not all need to
be taken down every time a particular
jar is wanted. Biscuits or cakes should
be kept in closely covered tin boxes;
lemons should be hung in nets. Soap
should be bought in large quantities,
and cut up In convenient-siZed pieces;
so that 1t may be dry before It is used.
Coffee, when roasted, should be kept in
small quantities; If unroasted, should
be kept in small quantities; If unroasted
IL will improve with keeping. Stores
on no account should be left in the
papers In which they were sent from
the grocer's, but should be put into tin
canisters or e~arthenware jars closely
covered, and each Jar, like the jam,
should be labelled. Stores should be

chairman.
RENT PAYING AND HOMICIDE.
The principal speaker was James DAILY, who
awaits his trial for seditious language He
denied that the language he had used was
seditious. He did not blame the government
for his arrest, but he condemned all tyrannical
landlords, who went TO the government, hat
in hand, and begged them, for Gods sake,
to have the agitators arrested. He said
that the landlords wanted to use land for their
own purposes and take advantage Of the dis
trcss to drive the people from the soil. He did
not believe that he would have to suffer day S
imprisonment. The government should furnish
the people with seed and maintain them until
the crops We're abundant, If not the people
would pay rent until they could afford it.
Men would be guilty of manslaughter who
should pay their landlord and let their wives
and children starve.. The proceedings were
orderly throughout.
