The Doctors Yielding.

EVER since Prof. Green wrote to the IHcdi-
cal Record advising physicians everywhere TO
use the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure in their
practice, it has been gaining in favor with the
profession. They can find nothing which is
substitute for it. f. Caulkins, NJ. D., OF
Rochester, N. Y, says he would now prescribe
it to all who are afflicted with serious kidney
and liver diseases

To restrain kicking cows, use a stout
leather strap one and a half inches wide
and four feet three or four inches long.
In the center of this fasten an equally
strong piece of leather, not over four
inches long, with strong buckle at
each end of it. This is fastened to the
strap by strong sewing, and four copper
rivets. Put this ON by buckling it up
tightly on each hind leg just above the
hook Joints. After a few times it can
be put on ard taken off without any
trouble. 1t is also useful to prevent one
COW from kicking while milking the he1t

DON'T be without c: Gilbert'S Starches.
A HINT TO CooKs.-At a Sanitary
Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
recently, the President of the State
Board Of Health called attention to a
bad practice among cooks, by which
cane-sugar is converted into grape
sugar in cooking, thereby losing more
than one-haf its sweetening power.
Some women, he said, will put the
sugar in with a mass of acid fruit to be
cooked, and keep cooking, and keep
adding sugar, while it keeps, on getting
sourer, until at last they will use two
and-a-half times as much sugar they
ought to use to secure the desired effect.
The cane-sugar has been changed to
grape-sugar. Now, if the sugar had
been added after the fruit was cooked,
much less would have been required,
and the result far more satisfactory.

farmers have experienced with Hunga-
ran hay has arisen mainly from allowing
the grass to remain uncut till the seed
was nearly or quite ripe It should be
harvested as soon as the seeds form and
before they have commenced to mature
Another difficulty has arisen from the
amount of dust Hungarian grass often
contains. AS it grows on land that was
recently plowed and harvested, and over
the surface of which there is no sod,
much dust is likely to be disturbed in
raking and twisting the hay. This may
be prevented very largely by cutting the
grass quite high, and by gathering it
when it is cured with a mandrake in
stead of with horse-rake. If gathered
in this way and pitched on the cart when
the ground is moist with dew nearly all
the dust usually found in Hungarian
hay may be avoided.

The Old Mans Dream.
From the Cleveland Leader

Tht arrest of the alleged assasins of
Jacob Baug gilman In GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
enables a worthy man to nod his head
and mutter to himself: "Well, [ thought
there was something in that dream. .
On the night of the murder, nearly
seventeen years ago, q man living in the
neighborhood of Uniontown had a dream.
In the dream he saw Jacob Baughman sur
rounded at his own freside by three per-
sons, saw them conversing together,
heard their conversation, watched their
movements, and saw them strike the
fatal blow. He recognized every face,
and when Baughman fell dead to the
floor the dreamer awoke. He told his
wife what horrible dream he had had,
while the cold sweat ran off his body.
The next day man went to his house
and said: ''Have you heard of the
homicide 90 "What homicide ?" he said,
in establishment. sold Jacob Baugh-
man was murdered last night. "Hold
on! Stop right there" said he, ''until [
relate my dream" and he did relate it
just as he had told his wife the night
previous, but he omitted thenames of the
men he saw commit the crime. In a few
days he told his brother, and gave him
the names of the assassins, in strict con-
idence, but never revealed them to any
one else. A lawyer frequently asked the
dreamer to give him the names of the
murderers, but he refused to do it. A
few days ago he asked him again. Ii
was on the day that the arrests were
made. "They are on the right track,
he replied, but would say no more.

Make Yourself at Home,

| ALI visitors feel that In some places
there is an atmosphere that is congenial
and pleasant, and conducive to freedom
and enjoyment, while in others-though
the welcome be just as warm and friends
no less kind and dear-they are never
unconscious that they are visitors. The
house is III an abnormal condition of
spick-and-span orderliness to start with;
and one feels that in no home are the

work put out of sight, and everything
kept with it's best foot forward. Utmost

English Reverence for Old Things.
[ From London Society

Yankee Doodle sneers at the past, and,
contrary to John Bull, believes only in
the active go-ahead present, which must
open out into a glorious and triumphant
future. Lord Palmerson, in one of his
election speeches, happily hit off the lif-
ference that existed between the two
countries. In England, he said, t a
man takes an inn he calls it the Old Hat,
Or some name which implies that the
hotel is no brand-new affair, and f a
rival comes into the field he does notcall
his opposition establishment the New
Hat or the Renovated Bonnet, but he
seeks to Herod Herod, and 50, to
make what is ancient still more ancient,
he styles his house the Old Old Hat. In
America he would christen the caravan
serei by some title which would savpr
little of past, but much of the modern.
With us antiquity has its sentimental
side as well as it's historical. In tie
states, where there is no history, it is tie
future which is softened by sentiment,
not the past

Sharp All Around.
GFrom the Providence Journal.


Michael and Pat, soon, after landing
in America, entered an eating saloon,
when, being comfortably seated at a ta-
BILE on which stood the accustomed cas-
tor containing pepper sauce, vinegar,
mustard, &C., and while enjoying their
frugal meal together, Mike espied the
mustard bottle, and having never before
seen or tasted this kind of sauce, was
tempted to swallow good sized spoon
full. Very soon the tears commenced to
flow down his cheeks in large quantities,
which be noticed by Pat led him to III
quire, "What are crying about, Mike?'
to which Mike replied, s. am crying to
think of my poor father, who died year
ago..to-day" Pat seeing Mike eating the
yellow paste with such apparent relish,
was induced to take spoonful himself,
when, like Mike, he commenced to cry,
when Mike asks, "And what are you
crying about, Pat?" Pat replied, Il
am crying because am SO sorry you did
not die when your father did. -

and I think it is Mr.. Dudley who will tell
us who is the April fool.
With a cry OF rage and furious oath,
he sprang to his feet; but Miss Lorraine
turned her back on him, and walked
with Lynn into an adjoining parlor, and
he made his exit from the house without
her adieux.
In scheming to make Lynn Naples
offend the heiress by all offer of mar
riage, he had shot beyond his mark, and,
losing all hope of Annie Lorraine and her
fortune, bitterly repented his trick of the
first of April.

THE FUTURE.

A figure wanders through my dreams
And wears veil upon its face,
Still bending to my breast It seems,
Yet ever turns from my embrace.
And sometimes, passing rom my sight.
1t lifts the veil as it departs,
And eyes flash out with such light
AS never dawned on waking hearts.
There is no need of sound or speech
Or toiling through the troubled years;
The rapture of that smile can teach
More than a century OF tears.
And this know, if could move
Out of my dreams into my days,
One service of unbroken love
Should fill and crown my life with praise.
Love with no douL ts and no demands,
But generous a southern June
Vast brotherhood of hearts and hands,
Choir of a world in perfect tune
No shallow sunsets-films TO gid
Far SUBMITS which we dare not climb.
But ceaSelesS charms of hope fulfilled,
Making miracle of time
How sure, how calm, the picture seemsl
How near it comes, behold, possessed!
1T is not only in my dreams
I feel that touch upon my breast.
1t thrills me through the barren day,
1t holds me in the heart of strife,
No phantom grasp that melts away,
1T seems-it is-the touch of lifet
We look into the heart of flowers
And wonder whence their bloom can rise:
The secret hope of human hours
Is hidden deeper from our eyes.
In helpless tracts of wind and rain
The work goes on without q sound;
And while you weep your weak SIN vain,"
The flower is growing underground.
We know the lesson; but cry,
Bitter and vast, is in our ears;
One life of fruitless misery
Shakes all our wisdom into tears.
Thronged by the clamorous griefs that say,
''Behold what is, forget what seems"
can but answer, "Well-a-day;
There is that figure in my dreams"

The Science OF Mnemonies.

From the New York Trbune.l
The hat-custodjan of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel has not lived in vain An Ameri-
can correspondent of Nature introduces
HIM to the British public as genius who
can take charge of 500 bats at once, and
always returns the right one to the owner,
though most of the 500 owners, and of
course, most of their hats, are complete
ly strange to him. This writer says that
he 6 forms mental picture of the own
er's face inside the hat, and that on look
ing on any hat, the wearer's face is in
stantly brought before his minds eye"
The Spectator regards it as another case
of memory Indefinitely strengthened by
a power of visualzing Impressions which
most men never visualize at ALL This
man visualizes hats with faces under
them as great chess-players who play
without the board visualize the pieces
set in particular squares; only this is a
more remarkable exercise of the same
power, since 500 hats must contain many
nearly exact copies of each other, while
none of the sixty-four squares ON the
chess-board can be confused together at
all, by any one who can make himself
any accurate picture of them.

There's nought 80 dreary in this world of ours
But has some spark of beauty lingering near
On frozen mountains bloom the constant flowers,
And stars above lone sepulchres appear.

Hovers rare and radiant humming- bird
Called the fame-bearer-all save that is dead
Yet, mid the gloom, glad wings ever heard.
