A cow-H1pE horseshoe has been intro

A Cow-HIDE horseshoe has been intro
duced, which promises to prove very use
full. 1t is composed of three thicknesses
of cow-hide, compressed into a steel
mold, and then subjected to chemical
preparation. It is claimed for it that it
lasts much longer and weighs only one
fourth as much as the common iron
shoes; that it never causes the hoof to
split, nor does it have the least injurious
influence on the foot; it requires no
calks; even on asphalt the horse never
slips. The shoe is so elastic that the
horses step is surer and lighter. 1t
adheres SO closely to the foot that neither
dust nor water can penetrate between
the shoe and the hoof.
OLD oyster cans are very useful I;
Open them at the top, plant them,
and they are very convenient for house
plants, as they occupy but small space.
Open them on the side, hammer the
edges down neatly and they are nice
dishes to bake small loaves of cake or
bread in. Farmers will find them the
best kind of dishes to give chickens drink
from. Take one, open on the side, with
a hammer and nail perforate the other
side, and you will have an excellent
CRATER to use for that Iear-producing
condiment, horse-radish. Then again
take one opened at the end, make few
holes in it, sink it near any choice plant
or in the center of group of flowers in
the yard, and you will find it fine thing

AmbidextrOuS.

There is something more significant
than most persons think in the cleft"
hand We give all our nice work to
one hand, and thus train it to strength,
celerity and skill, and leave the other to
feebleness and awkwardness. Indeed,
children are generally trained to one
handedness almost from infancy. If
both hands were trained alike, they
would be alike. Even the toes can be
trained to the dexterity of the fingers.
In musical education both hands are
equally trained for the keys of the piano
and organ.
Now in many employments much
would be gained by being able to use
either hand with equal facility, and
often both at the same time. Brown
Sequard, one of the most eminent OF
modern writer's on physiology, urges
that children be educated on both sides
of the body equally; and Agassiz ad-
vised his pupils to train both sides
alike, Notwithstanding they had been
brought up to the special use of one
side. Most adults would find it difficult
to change the old habit, but with the
young it would only be matter of cart
and attention for comparatively shor
| time,

1t Wasn't Her Hair at All.

Yesterday afternoon couple OF gen
tlemen were walking down Main street,
and lady with one of these pitch-for-
ward hats was walking ahead of them
few feet. Said one of the gents, did
YOU ever see hair put up in that way
before?"
Upon my word I never did. It's
enough to spoil the best hair in the
trade"
~And then the color-why, it is en-
tirely of style"
went out of fashion two years ago.
The lady ahead looked mad enough
to eat fire-plug.
"And Just think of charging 81 for
lot of hair like that"
"If I had it in my store I wouldn't get
rid of it in five years unless some lunatic
came along
at can't cost less than three hours
work each day to keep the miserable
tousle in order. The woman's husband
that"
And then that lady in front turned
around with fire and fury in her eyes:
"You miserable puppies, I'd just thank
you to let my hair alone. If you dare
to say another word I'll scream Police
and have you arrested"
As soon as the gentlemen recovered
breath, the Pittston man exclaimed:
"Yeur hair, madam! your hairl"
Eyes, my hair. You just keep your
impudent tongue off it"
Il positively declare neither Of us
saw you or your hair"
"Then what were you talking about il
for?"
"Talking about it We were not ever
thinking about it,
"Then what we're you talking about II
that contemplate style?"
"Why, madam, do business in thl!
town, and this gentleman deals in hail
in Scranton, and we we're conversins
about lot of hair we saw together il
Philadelphia yesterday, and on which
the dealer tried to cheat him."
"And is that all?"
upon my honor that is all"
The lady looked little Modified, bu
remarked with rather scornful accent
at may be so, but I don't believe on
word of it."
And she sailed off with her nose wei
up in the air, while the two greatly
startled gentlemen stepped into the Na
tional House for something to stead
their astonished nerves.-Ecchaa0e.

Don't Khip Him.

DR.. johnson said: eff the child
says he looked out Of this window
when he really looked out of that, whip
him."
DR.. johnson was great man, and
am little woman, but venture to diff
fer with him. If the child has really
said that he looked out of one window
instead of the other, with desire to de-
ceiye you, whipping will do him but lit
tie good. He may be so frightened by
floggimg that he will never tell you a
falsehood again, unless he is entirely
sure that you cannot find him out, but
if you love the child, you want to cure
him OF the predisposition to lying, and
this cannot be done by whipping. The
cure must be moral and inward
one. 1t must be effected by the culti-
vation of the heart and the mind and
the conscience, and not by beating the
body.
A child with heart can be taught to
render to its parents the truth and obe-
dience of love; and child with mind
can be taught not to be dishonorable,
and also to reason on the effect of GER
tain acts. Consequently, if your child
has heart or mind, never pound him.
Only when you are quite sure that you
are the parent of little brute, should
you teach him his duty by blows; even
then the blows should be administered
by the hand of love, and not by that of
anger.
It is doubtful if whipping can benefit
any one. 1t is degrading, and it is in
furious to the health, as all pain is.
We're some one to fog you, you would
find yourself in the doctors hands on
the morrow. Children are more deli
cate than we are, and they suffer more
from less cause. After you have
whipped your boy, go to his room at
night, and see him toss and turn upon
his pillow. Mark his red cheeks
and swollen eyes! Perhaps you whipped
him with the best intentions. and to
cure him of some great moral fault
but it may be that you made mistake
A parent should be able to teach an
intelligent child to know right from
wrong, and to do the right-to keep the
laws of man and God, and to honor hi.
father and his mother, by practice and
precept, wisely and kindly, and in wa.
to win his love and respect. Beating
him in petulance or anger will have NJ
effect upon his moral nature, except t.

ITEMS FOR FIELD AND HOU USE.

A GOOD disinfectant for sick room is
to burn ground coffee on hot shovel.
In frying buekwheat cakes rub the
griddle with half raw turnip, and the
cakes will come of nicely and make no
smoke.
A SMALL piece of charcoal, in the pot
with boiling cabbage removes the smell.
CLEAN oilcloth with milk and water;
a brush and soap will ruin them.
TUMBLERs that have had milk in them
should never be put in hot water.
A SPOONFUL of stewed tomatoes in
the gravy of either roasted or fried
meats is an improvement.
PERSONS troubled with feet that per-
spire or smell Extensively can effect a
cure by bathing them every night or
oftener in a strong solution of borax.
Two or three weeks of this treatment
will probably be found sufficient.
PINE apple custards: One can of
pine apple, cut fine, two cups of milk,
four eggs, one tablespoonful of butter
beat the eggs, then stir in the butter,
sugar and milk; add the pine apple
then bake in moderate oven. This
will make two pies.
HAM omelet: Chop up fine one hall
pound of cold boiled ham add to it foul
eggs, we'll beaten, with little salt and
pepper; then place in a pan a small
piece of butter, and then turn in the
eggs and ham, and brown.
THE most easy way of keeping hams
perfectly is to wrap and tie them il
paper and pack them in boxes or barrel
with ashes. The ashes must fill al
interstices, but must not touch the hams
as it absorbs the fat. 1t keeps then
sweet and protects them from all kind
of insects.
MUsH: Stir tablespoonful of sal
and cup of -four mixed with one quar-
of boiling water; beat it we'll, and boi
gently two hours. Turn the whole int

The Gallant Militia.

The Militia Convention has COM
pleted its work at New York, and voted
to hold the next meeting at St, Louis,
Sept. 80. It adopted resolution that
the militia should be divided into two
classes, the active to constitute a ma
tional or State guard and the inactive
an enrolled reserve; that every able
bodied male citizen in the various
States between 18 and As, except as ex-
empted by law, should compose such
militia; that the first class should be
first called out when necessary, but
that the second class should not go
into service except during war, riot or
insurrection; that each State should be
entitled to receive aid for 700 uniformed
commissioned officers and men for each
Congressional representative. This
draft of law was also adopted: "That
the President of the United States shall
appoint board of 7 oficers-2 of the
United States army and 5 from the
active militia of the Eastern, Middle,
Southern and Pacific States-for the
purpose of selecting suitable pattern
of campaign dress and equipment fol-
the active militia. The Chairman of
the delegates reported the number OF
uniformed troops in the respective
States, as follows: New York, 1890,
Pennsylvania, 10000; Ohio, $500 Iowa
$500; Massachusetts, 400; South Car

1t would seem to be truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors of the
healing art, that to remove the disease, not
to alleviate its symptoms. should be the
chief aim of medication. Yet in how many
instances do we see this truth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice. The reason that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is successful in
so many cases, with which remedies pre-
viously tried were inadequate to cope, is
attributable to the fact that it is medi-
cine which reaches and removes the causes
of the various mnladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
complaint, gout, rheumatism, disorders of
the bowels, urinary affections and other
maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the fountain
head. 1t is really, not nominaily, radical
remedy, and it endows the system with an
amount of vigor which is its best protection
against disease.
