Some Things to Disbclicyc.

When a man advertiacs for a partner,
and wants young man TO put in q
small investment of one hundred or five
hundred dollars and promises to him q
realization Of fifty or one hundred per
cent. profit, don't believe it. When 9
man offers to give gold watches or Jew
elry worth fifty to one hundred dollars
for one dollar, don't believe it. When
a man offers to give away knowledge of
the utmost value for the cure of con.
sumption, and any and all diseases, by
merely sending . three-cent stamp to
prepay postage, dent believe it. When
a man proposes to do his utmost to
make every one else rich, and looks to
other peoples interests more than his
own, don't believe it. When a man
offers to give you something of great
value for something of less value-in
other words, to give you something for
nothing, don't believe it. Many per.
sons advertise on purpose to fitch young
men of money gained by hard labor,
and before entering into any speculation
which may be offered: you, take ad-
vantage of the many means at your
command and ascertain the facts with
reference to the proposed business before
you invest, and thus save your money
and assist in effectually breaking up all
swindling establishments

ImmOderate Use Of Tea.

W. J. Morton, in an article on " Tea"
in the journal of NerryNs and Mental
Disease, arrives at the following gen.
eral conclusions:
!. With tea, as with any potent
drug, there is a proper and an improper
dose.
2. In moderation, tea is mental and
bodily stimulant of most agreeable
nature, followed by no harmful reac-
ton. 1t produces cOntentment of mind,
allays bodily wearincss, and increases
the incentive and the capacity for
work.
9. Taken immoderately, it leads to q
very serious group of symptoms, such as
headache, vertigo, heat and hu.hings of
body, ringing in the ears, mental dull
ness and confusion, tremulOusness,
nervousness" sleeplessness, appre-
hensiOn of evil, exhaustion of mind and
body, with disinclination to mental and
physical exertion, increased and irregu-
lar action of the heart, increased res
piration.
Each of the above symptoms is pro-
duced by tea taken in immOderate
quantities, irrespective of dyspepsia, or
hypochondria, or hyperamia. The
prolonged Use of tea produces, add.
tiOnally, symptoms of these three latter
diseases. In snort, in immoderate doses,
tea has a most injurious effect upon the
nervous system.
4. Immoderate tea drinking, con-
tinued for considerable time. With
great certainty produces dyspepsia.
5. The immediate mental symptoms
produced by tea are not to be attributed
to dyspepsia.
In the above experiment upon my
self, The whole gronp of symptoms was
produced with no sign of digestive
trouble superadded.
6. Tea retards the waste" or retro
grade metamorphosis of tissue, anc
thereby diminishes the demand fol
food.
1t also diminishes the amount O.
urine secreted.
9. Many of the symptoms of immod
crate tea drinking are such as may Oc
cur without suspicion of tea being theil
cause; and we may find many peOpl,
taking tea to relieve the very symptom
which its abuse IL producing.

Pear Blight.

1t is generally conceded that pear
blight is caused by a minute fungus
which developes in the bark and pene-
trates inwardiy, destroying the cell struc-
ture as it proceeds. Trees should he

sulphur wash or others things that will
kill a fungoid spore without injury to
the bark.
Sometimes pears crack. As a remedy,
dissolve copreras in water and sprinkle
the solution freely around the roots of
the trees. 1t will not only prevent the
fruit from cracking, but it will increase
the vigor of the tree.

Poultry is everywhere regarded as
luxury and delicacy. No cook can get
up the enthusiasm in preparing Fl h or
quadrupedal flesh for the table that she
has in cooking bird, though it be only
goose. As fruits, fed on air and sun
shine, rank higher in our estimation than
vegetables that cling to and sre EN-.
bedded in the soil, so winged flesh is
more highly esteemed than that which
plOddingly goes on all fours. In the
hands OF skillful cook, almost any kind
Of poultry in made delicious; by a bung-
Ter, the choicest birds may be spoiled.
Old poultry may be made tender and
savory BY the following method: Soak
it in cold water with handful or two of
ashes thrown in for twenty.four hours
pick OF the feathers and Let it hang for
twenty-four hours longer. Then let it
boil for . quarter of an hour in veal
broth or water; take it out, lard end
bake it; when nearly done haste with
hot butter. BY this method the flavor
Of young chicken may be impaired to
an old fowl. Poultry of all kinds
requires thorough cooking, a. when un-
derdone it is tasteless. A turkey weigh
ing eight pounds should be baked three
hours and basted every ten or fifteen
minutes with its own drippings and with
melted butter. If proper care is tax,
in dressing poultry il will not need wash
ing A wet cloth may be used to wipe
it clean If necessary, but soaking it in
water takes out the favor. Young
poultry may be known by having smooth
legs and supple feet. II the legs are
roush and the feet are stiff, the poultry
is old or stale.

Washington special to the Boston Herald
says:
The President yesterday sent for ex-senator
ConoVer, the Republican candidate for Governor
Of Florida, and discussed the political situation
at some length with him. The President said
that he considered Garfield to be a very strong
candidate, and that he thought it extremity prob
able, if not almost certain, that, while the Dem
ocrstic candidate might have the solid South,
Garfield would have the solid North. He thought
the Democrats would make bad mistake to put
up an Ohio man in the hope of carrying that
State. He asked Senator ConVer what he thought
Of the prospect in the South, and expressed 10
him the hope that he would be elected Governor
Of FLORIDA Mr. Conover said he had no doubt
at all OF his election as Governor OF Florida,
particularly, he said as the Democrats Of Flor
ida had put up an out-and out Bourbon ticket all
the way through He said TO the President that
Gen Grant would have been by far the strongest
candidate in the South that Republicans could
have nominated, but Garfield was popular and
be thought he would run very we'll He believed
he could pull Garfield through in Florida, and
he thought if the Republicans would only spend
some money and send some good speakers into
the South, two or three other States might be
carried
