SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALTH.

Never sit with the back to window or
door, even if closed, for the air coming in at
crack and crevice, will certainly give cold
1t is not healthy in any country, at any
season of the year, or at any time OF lite, to
get up early, habitually; the old are better
rested by lying late, even if not asleep. while
the young require all the sleep they can get
In all latitudes, in warm weather, the morn
ing air. although feeling cool and fresh, is
laden with the pestiferous masma. In winter
the atmosphere before breakfasts so cold and
chilly and searching, that it fairly shrivels
up man and beast, chilling to the very mar
row bone sometimes, hence the average dura-
ton of human life would be increased, and
the amount of sickness largely diminished,
by late, rather than early rising, as all the
older nations full well know and practice
In going out into the colder air, keep the
mouth resolutely closed. and walk briskly for
a few moments, thus preventing chllllness'
which is always the precursor of cold. .,
The portion of the body which most needs
protection against cold and wind, is that be
tween the shoulder blades behind, as it is at
this point the lungs are attached to the body,
and the lungs very easily become chilled.
To spend two or three moments, on rising
and retiring, in rapid friction of the whole
surface of the body with the hand, is more
rational treatment of the skin, and more
health promoting operation for most persons,
than daily cold water bath.
A good cleansing of the entire body with
soap and warm water once week, is all the
bathing the human system requires for purpo'
ses of health, in ordinary circumstances.
Nc rational mind can fail to see that it is
a wisdom and duty to guard against the
causes, and watch vigilantly against the indi
cations of such disease as dyspepsia, which
often so influences the mind as to subvert the
whole character, making wreck fhappiness,
heart and life together.

SHE SEwED ON HIS BUTToNs.-Old Blum
mer is tight. 6sted Several days ago he said
to his wife, "Maria, I want you to look over
that broadcloth vest of mine and put new
buttons on it, cause I'm going to card.par-
ty tonight"
"But, Ety." answered Mrs. B., haven't
any buttons to match that vest and"
"Thunder!" broke in Blummer; "the idea
of woman keeping house as long as you
have, an pretendin' to be out of buttons.
By George! I b'lieve you'll ask me for mon-
ey to buy 'em with next"
That evening Blummer hurried through
his supper and began arraying himself for
the card party. Presently he called for the
broadcloth vest, and Mrs. B., with marvel
Gus promptitude, handed it to him. He took
it, hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eye
took in its complete appearance, he stood as
one transfxed. 1t was a six-button vest, and
there were six buttons on it, and the dazed
optic of Blummer observed that the first, or
top one, was a tiny pearl shirt-button, and that
the next one was brass army-overcoat but
ton, with U. S. cleaning upon it, and that
number three was an oxydized silver affair,
and that number four was horn button, evil
dently from the back of one of the Puritan
fathers coats; and then came a suspender
button, and then, as the dazzled eyes of old
Blummer reached the bottom button-a poker
chip, found in Blummers pocket, with two
holes punched through it-he gave snort that
made the chandelier jingle. There is, after
all, fine sense of humor about Blummer,
and he laughed till he cried And there won't
be any button money grudged in that house
hold hereafter.

PRUNING PEACH TREES.

A gentleman who has been very successful
in growing peaches, gives his plan for pruning
the trees as follows: 81 am careful not to
touch the buds on the body of the young trees
when am setting them, 80 as to encourage
the growth of as many shoots as can on the
body of the trees from the ground up. I do
this because it gives protection to the trees
from the hot sun and other things, and gives
the tree vitality and a stout stock growth
1t also affords an opportunity to form the top
as I want it. After the young shoots are we'll
under way, cut out such as do not want,
leaving some all along from the ground up to
form the top In this way I can have the
top well balanced and the limbs at proper dis
tances apart and not too high up. | suffer no
forks to form, to finally split down and spoil
the tree. The body of a young tree will
make nearly twice the growth each season,
for several years, if the limbs are left on the
body of the tree, that it will if they are taken
off, You will find, by trying it, that young
trees will grow much faster and more stocky
by letting most of the young shoots remain
on the body of the tree.
'I passed through a neighbor's young or.
chard once, in company with the owner, just
as the shoots were starting all along the body
of the young trees, and as he would come to
a tree, he would strip off all the leaves and
young shoots from the body of the tree, tor
three or four feet up, and observed that his
trees made very poor growth that season,
and they had to be tied to stakes for several
years, to keep them from being blown over
by the wind, they grew so tall and slender;
When they came to bearing fruit. he would
frequently have as many as half a dozen
props about tree, to keep the long switchy
limbs from breaking down. Now thought
this to be all wrong, and when commenced
growing trees pruned close when setting and
then let the limbs grow low down on the body
of the tree, thinning out as they became too
thick, and shortening in when they got too
long. | never stake my trees nor use props
for the limbs, but prune SO that the tree will
bear its own burden."- "-New York World.

WHAT'S ONE BULLET TO BAsKETFUL p
An incident occurred in the battle Of Frank
lin which have never seen in print. That
sanguinary battle was at its height, and now
and then there was soldier who would not
face the music, and, holding to the idea that
"distance lends enchantment," on all such oc-
casions, would exhibit his faith in the idea,
by taking "leg ball. for the rear. These
cases were getting too numerous toward the
close of the battle, and Col. b, A. A. G.
of our brigade, was sent back to the rear to
intercept those seeking for safety, and return
them to their respective posts of duty.
Col. B said he hailed one fellow, who
was making tracks for some place of safety,
with all the energy of despair.
"Halt! 1 say, and return to your COM
mand" |"
The flying son of Mars took no notice of
the command.
"Halt say. and 60 back to your post"
The soldier paid no attention to him.
The Colonel now became exasperated and
yelled out:
"If you don't 60 back to your command I
will shoot you, sir"
Without pausing in his flight, the soldier
yelled back at him:
"shoot and be hanged! What's one bullet
to basketful?'
Col. B let him go, and after the battle
told the incident as good joke.

bas- Every Christian family has an indoor
work and life of its own. But no family
can afford, for its own sake, to ignore the life
which goes on among its neighbors, or to de-
cline the work beyond its doors for the lowly
and the neglected. In the household econo-
my, as in the individual experience, the Mas
ter's rule is continually proved true. He

with being correct and honest in their con.

THE TAILORs-The drOlleSt disturbance
that ever took place within the walls Of thea
tire, happened at the Haymarket, London, in
1906. Years previous, Foote had produced at
that house burlesque piece, the author of
which was never known, entitled ''The Tai
lors or, Tragedy for warm Weather." The
satire of the piece gave great umbrage to the
craft after which it was called.f In the year
above named, Dowton announced its revival
for his benefit. The bills were scarcely issued
when he received letter requesting him to
change the play, as it was highly offensive to
the trade, and promising if he would do so, he
should be assured full house. Dowton took
no notice of this communication, upon which
the knights of the needle waxed wroth, called
a meeting, and swOre they would oppose him
with might and main. Menacing epistles now
poured in upon him, in which he was Informed
that II, 900 tailors would attend the theatre to
hoot down the play. One who signed himself
"Deth," wrote to the proprietors to say that
10000 more could be mustered if necessary.
DOwton laughed at these threats, and persis-
ted in his programme But when the night
came, he soon discovered that they were not
idle ones. The brotherhood had cOntrived to
monopoliZe not only every seat in the gallery
save two, but to fill every other part of the
house. DOwton's appearance was the signal
for the uproar to begin. a pair of shears
was thrown at him. He offered t2O to any
person who would point out the man who
threw them. His offer was received with a
yell and shower of other missiles. Not a
word would the audience listen to. In vain
did he now offer to change the piece to evil
lage Lawyer" They would accept no COM
promise, and the uproar within was echoed
by crowd without who could not gain admit
tance.
The riot now became so violent that it was
necessary to send for magistrate and force
of constablcs. These were powerless against
the immense number of rioters. This victory
over, the law rendered them more daring and
furious than ever, and fears began to be ell
tertained for the salty of the building and the
lives of the actors. a troop of Life Guards
was sent for. This quickly settled the matter
and there was general stampede, but not
before 16 had been captured in their flight

USEFUL HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD
Pulverized alum possesses the property of pu-
rifying water. A large spoonful stirred into
a hogshead of water will so purify it that in
a few hours the dirt will all sink to the bot
tom, and it will be as fresh and clear as spring
water. Four gallons may be purified by a
teaspoonful.
Do not let knives be dropped into hot Wa
ter. 1t is good plan to have large tin pot
to wash them in, just high enough to wash
the blades without wetting the handles Keep
your castors covered with blotting paper and
green flannel. Keep your salt spoons out of
the salt, and clean them often.
Do not let coffee and tea stand in tin-ware.
Scald your wooden-ware often, and keep the
tin-ware perfectly dry. Wash dishes in a
wooden bowl and there will be less danger Of
breaking, or scratching Of the silverware.
Suet and lard keep better in tin than in
earthenware Suet will keep good the year
round, if chopped and packed down in a
stone jar covered with molasses.

HOMEMADE FERTILIzER.-Judge K. +.
Moore, one of the most successful and intel
ligent farmers of our county, hands us the
following formula for composing a home.
made fertilizer, which, the Judge claims, is as
good as any of the standard commercial fer
tilizers in the market, and cheap, because it
costs nothing except little labor.
The formula for one ton of the fertilizer is
as follows: One thousand pounds of rich
loan earth (procured from the fence corners,
or wash places, or surface dirt from the
woods), and fifteen bushels Of cotton seed /;
put into the stable of horse or COW, cover
over with sufficient amount of leaves or
straw to prevent the stall from becoming
muddy or dirty. Let it be tramped twenty
or thirty days, when it may be put in a pen,
and another supply in the stable. j.
By this method, Judge Moore says that a
ton of feltilizer for each horse or COW can be
made, equal to the best fertilizer offered in
the market, which is distributed in the same
way, and in the same quantities as guano. All
who know Judge Moore, know that he has sue
ceeded as a farmer, and he is no castle build
er. We hope our farmers will give this ma.
nure a fair test, and save themselves the
thousands of dollars paid to fertilizer manu-
