We have outwitted the enemies of win-
ter squash vines and now the vines
are beginning to run, and by little
stretch Of expectation we look forward to
lots of Hubbards and Butman's for the
winter table. Sulphur didn't do it, nor
pepper, nor even Paris green; but boxes
did-boxes setting down in the earth SO
that the pests could not crawl under.
There was no netting on top, the boxes
alone proving to be sufficient protection.
They were made of rough boards foot
wide,an wers three feet square. We
think SO much of these boxes that we
shall put them in the tool house for future
use, as by their simple aid squash raising
may be made success.-CoI. DE- Curtis

A recent improved receipt for preserv-

Gus moisture, and then dry between sheets

Rheumatism.

Common rheumatism is disease
which affects the joints. the hinges of
the body, in such way that the slight
est motion of the ailing part gives pain.
A creaking hinge is dry, and turns hard.
A single drop of oil to moisten it makes
wonderful change. and it instantly
moves on itself with the utmost facil-
ity. All kinds of rheumatism are
an Inflammation of the surface of
the joints. Inflammation is heat; this
heat dries their surfaces; hence the
very slightest effort at motion gives
piercing pain. In a healthy condition of
the parts. nature is constantly throwing
out lubricating oil which keeps the
joints in a perfectly smooth and easy
working condition. Rheumatism is al
most always caused by-indeed, it may
be nearer the truth to say, that it is al
ways the result of, cold dampDess.
A dry cold. or a warm dampness. does
not induce rheumatism A garment,
wetted by perspiration or rain, or water
in any other form about 4 joint. and
allowed to dry while the person is in 4
state of rest, is the most common way
of causing rheumatism. A partial wet
ting of a garment is more apt to induce
an attack than if the entire clothing
were wetted, because, in the latter case,
it would be certainly and speedily ex-
changed for dry garments. There are
two very certain methods of preventing
rheumatism. The very moment gar
ment is wctted in whole or in part,
change it, or keep in motion sufficient
to maintain very slight perspiration,
until the clothing is perfectly dried.
The failure to wear wooden flannel
next the skin, is the most frequent
cause OF rheumatism; for q common
muslin or linen or silk shirt of person
in perspiration becomes damp and
cold the instant a puff of air strikes it,
even in midsummer. This is not the
case where wooden flannel is worn next
the skin. The easiest, most certain,
and least hurtful way of curing this
troublesome affection is, first, to keep
the joint affected wound around with
tirely on the lightest kind of food, such
as coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries,
boiled turnips, stewed apples and the
like. 1t such things were eaten to the
extent of keeping the system freely
open, and exercise were taken, so that
4 slight moisture should be on the sur
face of the skin all the time; or if in
bed, the same thing were accomplished
by hot teas and plentiful bed-clothing,
a grateful relief and an ultimate cure
will very certainly result in reasona-
bly, short time. Without this soft and
moist and warm condition of the skin,
and an open state of the system, the
disease will continue to torture for
weeks and months and years. Inflam-
matory rheumatism may, for all practi-
cal purposes, be regarded as an aggra-
waited form of the common kind, ex-
tended to all the joints of the body,
instead of duplicating only one or two.
For all kinds, time, flannel, warmth,
with light and cooling diet, are the
great remedies. - Halls Journal OF

Tainted Milk.

No fluid-certainly none in common
domestic usc-is more susceptible To
faint q. c., the gathering to itself of
unpleasant and unwholesome odors)
than milk. The utmost care is neces-
sary to keep it sweet. And yet, in
most households, where milk is only
taken to be used in tea and coffee, as Il
beverage for children, and in various
culinary operations, scarcely thought
is given to the proper care of it. What
the results of such neglect are a writer
in Nature thus fore IDLY points out:
A can of milk is received into the
house in the evening, and according to
a tradition. commendable rs far rs it
goes. is at once poured into clean
earthenware jug; there is no cover, per-
haps, but the vessel is clean. This is
stood, say on stone shelf in the lardcr,
to keep cool and free from faint. Its
companions there are a joint or two of
cold meat, Gin its gravy) a few unfur-
nshed tarts and blanc-manges, large
bowl of scrap bread, with incipient
fungOid growth two dozen eggs, mot
all fresh. underneath, the cheese; over
head. a jar of onions in pickle; in the
near distance a few head of game in an
advanced stage of-wcll, excepting
and last, but not least, a closed WIN
dow. Now, what is the faction
hereupon? A thousand to one, the
temperature of the milk is, when re-
ccivcd, different from that of the air in
the larder, (whether higher or lower.)
Immediately that it comes to rest, the
surface next the air becomes warmed or
cooled, as the case may be, and
by giving place to other portions,
sets up a series of gentle currents,
by means of which every part of
the fluid is successfully brought into
contact with the air. and its countless
crowds of butter-corpuscles, containing
fatty matter in high state of subdi-
vision. are enabled to expose the great
est possible extent of surface. Now, it
is scarcely the fault of that milk if in
ten hours time it has failed to Law by
at least a trace of every shade of efilu-
vium which has had a chance of circu-
lating near it. And yet when the par
donablc nastiness of the milk is COM
mcnted upon at breakfast, there will
lob pC Aouhu NaAlius, SoIuc OuC W cA-
claim, what can those people feed
their cows on?'
This, with unimportant notifications
to suit different localities, fairly de-
scribes the mode of treating this scnsi-
tive article of diet in probably nine
families out of ten living in towns and
villages. To use milk thus tainted in
the preparation of the food for adults is
bad enough; but to give it TO young
children as beverage, or to infants as
principal article of diet, is simply
wicked.
One of the large purveyors of milk in
Philadelphia supplies his customers in
sealed cans, into which the fresh milk
is poured and then tightly sealed up.
Kept in these receptacles until wanted
for use, the milk is safe from, the hor-
rors detailed by Nature. 1t would be
an excellent thing if city customers
would require all milk dealers to sup
ply them in this way.-EaanliHer and
Chronicle.

Western Tornados.

THAT those people who have never
experienced or witnessed the effects Of n
genuine Western tornado have very
poor idea Of it's force and character, Is
witnessed by the fact that 10 well In
formed journal Ms the New York
Tribune suggests that "buildings could
doubtless be erected strong enough To
Withstand these fearful wind tcmpests."
The fact is that the force developed by
these Western cyclones is utterly irre-
sistible. "When bouIdcrs weighing
hundreds Of pounds" says the St. Louis
Rcpubiican, "cnn be literally snatched
out Of the ground, where they have lain
for unnumbcred centuries, and flung
into the mir as il projected from n cata-
putt, it is hardly worth while talking
about terrifying against the mysterious
enemy" Take the recent Marshficld
cyclone for instance; its force was in
calculablc and had a stone building with
walls three feet thick and bolted with
iron stood in the way, it would have
gone down like house of cards. 1t has

frame house, for frame houses are usu-
ally carried off bodily, leaving the in
mates of the cellar unframed, while
brick houses totter and fall, the inmates
of the cellar being crushed and buried
in the debris. The prevalent idea is
that the force of cyclone is gained by
sweeping over the prairies, and that
their force is due to nothing but the
wind. This, according to people who
have both witnessed and experienced
them, is not a correct idea, for their eff
fects can be accounted for only on the
theory that electricity has much to do
with them. One man who has had
extensive acquaintance with
Missouri and Kansas cyclones, says:
4" They strike as suddenly as the light
ming, and the vegetation is often
scorched and withered as though fire
had passed over it. '-BostOn Post.

She told him she wanted not his Carcss-
res. Giannctto began TO make excuses.
She asked him where was the ring she
had given him.

cd" cries Giannctio, "and | was in
the right to say you would be angry
with me; but I swear by all that is
sacred. and by your dear self. that
gave the ring to the lawyer who gained
our cause"
"And I can swear" says the lady,
with us much solcmnity, "that you
gave the ring to a woman, and l know
it certainly; therefore swear no more"
Giannctto said if what he had told
her was not true, he wished every mis-
fortune to fall upon him that might
destroy him, and that he said all this
to the lawyer when he asked for the
ring.
The lady replied: "You would have
done better to have stayed at Venice
with your mistresses, and have sent
Ansaldo here; for hear they all wcpt
when you went away"
Giannetto's tears began to fall, and
in great sorrow he assured her that
what she supposed could not possibly be
true. The lady seeing his tears, which
were daggers in her bosom, ran to
embrace him, and in a tit of laughter
showed him the ring, told everything
which he had said to the lawyer, that
she was herself the lawyer, and how
she obtained the ring. Giannetto was
greatly astonished. finding it all true,
and was highly delighted with what he
had heard. and went out of the chamber
and told the story to the mobiles and to
his companions; aud this heightened
greatly the love between him and his
lady. He then called the damsel who
had given him the good advice, and
gave her to An saldo for wife; and
they spent the rest of their lives in
great felicity and contentment.

Mutton the Meat for Farmers.

The cheapest meat for the farmer is
mutton. 1t may safely be said to cost
nothing, as the fleece from sheep of
goodbr will amply pay for its keep
ing. Then. Tor additional profit, there is
Il lamb or two. the pelt OF the animal if
killed at home. the excellent manure
from its droppings. and the radiance
of the pastures from weeds. to which
sheep are destructive foes. With the
exception of poultry, mutton is also
the most convenient meat for the farm
err. A sheep is easily killed and dressed
by single hand in an hour, and in the
warmest weather it can be readily dis
posed of before it spoils. Science and
experience both declare it the healthiest
kind OF meat, and foolish prejudice
alone prefers pork. which, whether
fresh or salt, is the unhealthiest OF all.

a few hours previously, has returned to
her fathers home, having acquired an
experience which should serve a life
time. She went to St. Louis with her
lover, where they were married. After
a honeymoon lasting three or four days,
the husband, sending his coniding VIC
tim from their boarding house on a
fictitious errand, pocketed her jewelry
and what little money she had, and de-
parted, leaving no indication of his des-
tination. The poor girl had to pawn
her remaining trinkets to obtain money
to return home.

An anecdote is told of a physician
who was called to foreign family to
prescribe for case of incipient con-
sumption. He gave them a prescrip-
ton for pills, and wrote the direction: :
''Onc pill to be taken three times day,
in any convenient vehicle" The family
looked in the dictionary to get at the
meaning of the prescription. They got
on well until they got to the werd We
hicle. They found scarf, wagon, car
riagc, buggy, wheelborrow." After
grave consideration they came to the
conclusion that the doctor meant the
patient should ride out, and while in
the vehicle he should take the pill. He
followed the advice to the letter, and in
!, few weeks the fresh air and exercise
secured the advantage which otherwise
might not have come.
