The only way TO cure oatarrh is by the use
Of cleansing and healing lotion, applied to
the infiamed and diseased membrane. Snuffs
and fumigators, while affording temporary re-
lief, irritate the affected parts and excite a
more extended Inflammation. Besides, no
outward applications alone can cure cstarrh.
The disease originates in vitiated state Of the
blood, and thorough Alternative course Of
treatment is necessary to remove II from the
system. DR.. Sage's Oatarrh Hemedy has long
been known as an efficient standard remedy for
this disease, but, to insure a radical and per-
manent cure, it should be used in conjunction
with DIR. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery,
the best vegetable Alternative yet discovered.
The Discovery cleanses the vitisted blood,
while the Catarrh Remedy allays the infamma-
tion ard heals the diseased tissues

from Pontius and Judas. It is relic
OF an old " miracle play" in which the
actors were Pontius PLATE and Judas

ORNAMENTAL MEDnEY.-Crystal is the
leading novelty this season in the way of
ornament. The new crystal is, however,
very different from that which has some-
times borne the same name, since it has
nothing of pearly whiteness, but is clear
like glass, being, indeed, nothing more
than glass cut and fashioned into various
shapes. 1t is conspicuous in millinery,
on belt clasps and pins of various styles
New ornaments for the hair show heavy
balls of crystal fancifully disposed, one
of these being three globes set each on
the end of silver cross. Silver is the
favorite metal employed in combination,
and although gold with crystal is seen,
it is used to limited extent only when
compared with the tirst-named material.
New silver combs are finished by large
crystal balls, and again is found a single
ball OF crystal, about the size of an or
dinary marble, attached to pin, which
is,run into the hair, while similar balls
are set upon long gilt or silver hair.

Chstelsines for holding the fan are de-
clining in popularity, ribbon being
often substituted. A new fan conceals
among it's intricacies a powder-puff and

An entirely new combination for scarf
pins, belt-clasps and pins for the hair is
that Of garnet, blue and crystal glass.

way OF hair ornaments, and in view of
the demand is brought out in a variety
of novel designs. New vinaigrettes are

The tops open back by means Of q spring,

black or white, are embroidered with
gold or silver threads as fine as a spi-
der's web. These walls are either round
ed and short, or square and three
fourths OF a yard long, and have q rich,
wide hem all round.
Marron ribbons, of as many as five
different colors, are used, made up in
three or four-inch loops, placed one
above the other, directly down the front
of a dress, and the same ribbons, SINH

elbow sleeves. This is very effective

Furnishing an ELEPHANT.

Emperor is the most vicious, as he is
the finest elephant in this country.
During the winter months he and his
six companions are chained by their
hind legs in an outbuilding in the Cen
tral park, New York. Boatswain, until
the arrival of Emperor, was the pride
of all the female elephants, and Gypsy
especially loved to caress him with her
gentle trunk. But Boatswain once
cried out under punishment, aud from
that hour he lost his place in the respect
OF his associates, and Gypsy transfer
red her Establishments to the last conner
The device of circus men for punish
ing an elephant is cruel. To the legs of
an animal are fastened strong pulleys,
which are attached to levers. At sig
nal the legs are drawn asunder, and the
animal sinks down, a mass of helpless.
tortured flesh. Then the keepers, arm
ed with long clubs, approach and beat
him on the legs and bottoms of the feet
The elephant during punishment curls
his trunk beneath him and closes his
eyes. Hour after hour goes by some
times, but the keepers only relax when
the elephant either becomes insensible
or cries out, which latter is a token of
submission and a conquered spirit.
boatsWaln cried out, and was never
again guilty OF offense. Emperor, how.
ever, has stood this terrible punishment
several times, and with such extraordi-
nary nerve that the keepers are afraid
OF him. He is vicious, and whenever q
missile comes within his reach he dis
charges it at the nearest keeper straight
way.
On recent Monday night Emberor
watched one of the attendants whom he
particularly dislikes. It was bedtime.
and the man was making everything
snug when Emperor suddenly burned
on him and knocked him down. The
keeper screamed as Emperor with q
shrill cry of rage was on the point of
dragging him beneath his feet and
stamping him to death. Help came and
the keeper was saved, and then it was
determined that Emperor should suffer
for what he had done
The attendants took the lone iron
poker with which the fires are stirred.
and this they heated red hot. Emperor
was then bound in the fashion that has
been described, and while one of the
keepers held his trunk, the other ran

The Rig EARNS OF laknia

Twenty seven miles north of Fargo,
writes correspondent in Dakota Ter
ritory, is the world-renowned Grondin
farm. 1t covers about 40, 600 acres, en-
bracing both railroad and government
land, and is close to the Red river. The
farm is divided into four parts and has
dwellings, granaries, blacksmith shops,
elevators, etc, and has a stabliug ca
pacity for 200 horses and a granary ca
pacity for 100000 bushels. In addi-
tion to the wheat farm there is stock
farm of 20, 600 acres. During the seed
ing season they employ about seventy
men, and in harvest time as many as 200
men are busily engaged. Seeding COM
mences about the 9th of April end ends
the lst of May. The work is done very
systematically, the machines following
each other about the field four rods
apart. Cutting commences about the
9th of August and ends the fore part of
September; then comes threshing, which
is done by eight steam threshers. AT,
ter threshing the stubble ground is
plowed with gang plows that cut two
burrows, drawn by three horses, and
this work continues until it " freezes
up, which is about the 1st of November
The largest cultivated wheat farm in
the world having been described, L will
take the reader to Casselton, twenty
miles west of Fargo, passing by hun
dreds of small sixty-acre farms worked
by the homesteader. 1t has som sthing
about 100 families, three hotels and
several large stores, all OF which do a
large business. In this vicinity may be
seen some very large farms run on the
same scale as the Grondin farm; they
are Alton, Case, Cheney and Smith
Dodge. To describe these farms would
be to repeat the description of the Gron-
din, only on somewhat smaller scale.
The surface of the land here is nearly
level, and the soil is rich and black.
The yield Of one field of 1915 acres, as
given by elevator weight (57,283
bushelsl, shows an aggregate Of twenty
five bushels to the acre.

A Simple Remedy for the Bite Of a Maj

Animal.
A simple remedy for the bite Of a
rabid animal is furnished by friend,
who has known it to be tried in the fam
lily Of relative with good success. In
deed, when resorted to in time, it is con.
sidered a sure preventive of hydro.
phobia, but would not have the desired
effect if delayed till hydrophobia began.
1t should be taken Immediately after
the bite if possible, and not later than
nine days to be effectual One ounce of
elacampane root bruised and simmered
in pint of milk till the milk is reduced
to half pint. This is to be divided
into three doses, and taken on an empty
stomach for three alternate mornings,
fasting three hours after taking it. Pre-.
pare this recipe as directed three times
and take as above, making in all nine
doses taken on nine mornings, with the
omission of morning between each; the
time thus being extended to eighteen
days in all, including the alternate days
when the medicine is not taken. This
remedy is so simple and easily procured
that none need hesitate to try it who
have any apprehension of having been
bitten by mad dog, or any other rabid
animal; and it would not interfere with
any local treatment that might be
thought advisable. This root is provo
catiye of perspiration and has other
medicinal properties, which are sup
posed to counteract or remove the poison
from the system, m,-PTOVide1loe journal.

: New Saw Machine

For many years farmers have felt the need
of some improvement on the old and laborious
two-handled cross cut saw, for saving up
bodies Of trees into any length desired for saw
loga, staves rails, stoVe-wood, etc. This long
needed improvement has at last been invented
by w. W. Giles, of Cincinnati, o., who, by
the way, is one OF the greatest of American in
ventors. We see from our exchanges that the
editor Of the Ohio Farmer, also the editor of
the a. q. RoDisS Of Cincinnati, called on Mr. Giles
personally 70 see the marvellous saw machine. They
both pronounced 1t . machine Of great merit. The
curiosity OF these gentlemen not sRtishsd upon

Logs Down the Sierra.

The Truckee Republican, descrlb-
ing the mode Of getting out logs in
the mountains, says: "a chute is
laid from the rivers brink up the steep
mountain to the railroad, and while
we are telling it the monster logs are
rushing, laundering, flying, leap'ng
down the declivity. They come with
the speed Of thunderbolt, and with
somewhat of its roar. A tract OF hre
and smoke follows them fire struck
out by their friction with the chute
logs. They descend the 100 feet OF
the chute in IA seconds. In doing so
they drop 700 feet perpendicu'arly'
Logs fred from canon could scarce
ly have greater velocity than they
have at the foot of the chute. Their
average velocity is over 100 feet in
second, throughout the entire distance,
and at the instant they leap from the
mouth their speed must be fully 200
feet per second. A sugar pine log
sometimes weighs ten tons. Whata
missile How the water is dashed
into the arr Like grand plume OF
diamonds and rainbows, the feathery
spray is hurled into the air to the
height of two hundred feet. 1t forms
the grandest fountain ever beheld.
How the waters Of the pond foam ana
seethe and lash against the shore }!
One log having spent its force by Its
mad plunge into the deep waters, has
floated so as to be at right angles with
the path of the descending monsters
The mouth of the chute is perhaps
fifteen feet above the surface OF the
water. A huge log hurled from the
chute cleaves the air and alights on
the floating log. You know how a
bullet glances but can you imagine a
saw-log glancing' The end strikes
with a heavy shock, but glldes quickly
back for a short distance, then with
crash like the reverberation OF artll'
lery the falling log springs one hun
dred and fifty feet vertically into the
air, and with curve like rocket falls
into the pond seventy yards from the
LOG it struck.

Major Earle, two sons Of South Carolina, under
took to settle difference on the s1eld of
honor" They managed to give the matter 80
much publicity that the official authorities were
compelled to arrest them both. They got
away, and for days past the press has been
predicting that they would meet in some out
of-the-way place and shed great deal of blood.
Instead of taking tnat dangerous course, they
both meandered back to Sumter, and, unknown
to each other, arrived at the same time. They
were again arrested, and now ga board of honor

each was doing his very best to get away from
