Having had numberless inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies In all
parts OF the country who are interest
ed In the prevailing fashion of making
"Card Collections" we are having
printed for them a set OF seven beauti-
full cards, each In six colors and on a
gold background, In the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages of Man." We have spared
no expense In these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications tor them have
come In so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by US of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the following plan for the dis
tribution of Nhe remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven IN
the series, will be ssnt excepting upon
the receipt OF a statement from q grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought OF him on that day at least
seven bars OF Dobblns' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. AL apply
Ing In this manner HiH receive the Iull
set OF seven cards gratis bv mail. This
will insure us that our friends and pa
irons get their share Of these beautiful
designs, although 1t In no manner re-
pays US for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get 1t, AID
the purchase by you of seven bars of
it at one time viii secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and Is an article of
necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked to buy
useless article, but one that you must
have any way. Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections" to
do the same. Grocers do not have the
cards TO deliver. Buy the soap OF them,
send as their bill, aud zoe will mail you
the cards free. Yours respectfully,
|. L. CRAdIN q Co., lie South 4Eh

THREE RECIPES TO CURE CORNs.-l.
Battle the corn with strong borax
water: then shave 1t losely, but be
careful not To make 1t bleed. Place
over the corn white felt corn plaster
and wear 1t constantly until the corn
has disappe red. Every night and
morning wet the small cavity over the
corn (and In the plaster) with little
borax water, or, If preferable, the
pulp OF q le non. The corn pla ster can
De procured at any druggists. 2
Keep the feet clean by frequent ablu-
tlons with warm water, and wear easy
SOFT boots or shoes. Without the latter
prec lutlon, corns will generally re-
turn even after they appear TO have
been perfectly removed. 3. After
soaking the feet in warm wafer Tor a
few minutes, pare the corns as close
as possible with a sharp knife, taking
care not 10 make them bleed. Place
upon the part affected, small, circu-
lar pie,e of leather or buckskin, spread
with some emOlient plaster, ald hav-

AGRICULTURE.

FEEDING FOR EGGs.-Hens are the
most valuable stock on the farm. They
require little care, and yield large di-
Nidends. The writer has kept three
horses, one COW, brood of turkeys,
and about 125 hens during the present
winter, and he thinks the hens have
laid the whole bill, without attempt
in0 to obtain the best retail prices.
The eggs were sold at wholesale-the
huver making q profit of ten cents

PoTAToES A Kansas farmer says
he raised some of the finest peach blow

drove my two horses and plough TO the
patch of ground wished TO plant and
commenced p,oughing around 1t. My
b Y follow ed, dropping potatoes, one in
a place. every fifteen inches and in
every other furrow. l turned a light
furrow on them, and when done cOv-
cred the " hole patch with straw to the
depth of three inches. They needed no
cultivation. and in Augu.t, when we
were having our dry spell, the potato
vines in fields plaLt ted in the ordinary
way were drying up and dying, these
potato tops of mine were growing vi
gorously, completely covering the
ground. | shall pant again in this
way, but, In the event OF @ wet season,
l think the potatoes will be watery.
1t will be good plan to plant both

CURE FOR DIPHTHERTA.-Diph la
Is becoming dreadful scourge aud the
writer of what Is here SAID, saw the
working of this cure In the hands OF
an English physician at time when
the disease was prevalent In an Eng
lish town. Speaking of the physicians
application, the writer says: Gall he
took with him was powder of sulphur
and quill, and with these he cured
every case without exception. He put
a spoonful of flour of birthstone into u
wineglass of water, and stirred 1t with
his finger instead Of spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily amaIgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Birthstone kills every form
OF fungus III man, beast or plant In a
few minutes. Instead Of splitting out
the garg.e he recommends the swal-
lowing of 1t. In extreme cases in
which he had been called just In the
nick of time, when the fungus was too
nearly closed to allow the KarSle, he
blew the sulphur through a quill into
the throat, and after che fungus had
shrunk TO allow of 1t, applied the gar
gle. lie never lost patient from
dlpLtherrla. If patient cannot gar
gle, take live coal, put lt into a
shovel and Sprinkle spoonful OF -four
of birthstone at time upon it, let the
sufferer inhsle it, hol1ing the head
over it, and the fungus will die. Ii
lentitully used, the whole room, may
be filled almost 10 sufocalon, the pa
tient can walk about in It, inhallng
the fumes with the doors and windows
shut. The plan of 1umigating a room
with sulphur has often cured most
violent attacks OF colu In the head and
chest"

Professor FEeemiHg Jenkin has stated
that the following are The main condi-
tions to be fulfilled in putting house
into good sanitary order: l. The liquid
refuse from the house must have free
passage to the town sewer. 2. The air
from the town sewer must not have g
free passage into the house drain.
No air or gas from the drainage chan
nels of the house must enter the house.
4. No water or liquids must leak from

Not the least promising applications
of the new luminous paint is found in
the production of safety lamp for
coal miners. 1t la said to give light
enough for practical use, and, as 1t
contains no fire, or heat, it Is evident
that its use is absolutely free from risk.
BY means of this form Of lamp, in con-
nection with blasting by compressed
air, fire and the attendant danger of
exploding gas might be ruled out, and
the most dangerous mines be made
quite safe.

DURING the dead of winter any liv.
ing plant which looks green adds to
the cheerfulness OF room, and a mass
of beautiful verdure Is obtained by
the following expedient: Take about
twenty or thirty ears OF wheat and tie
them together, leaving the straw about
two inches long. Hang them up for a
few days, keeping them spriDkled
with water; the top will coon become
a pyramid of verdure, and will retain
Its beauty for several weeks. T9is

Professsr TgndaH says that burning"
of zinc is to be regarded as one Of the
most serious draw backs TO the general
use of the electric light. Zinc, it is
known, may be burnt in alr-that is,
oxidized; it may also be burnt or oxi-
died in acidulated water, but 1t has to
displace the oxygen from the kyrdro-
gen for this TO occur, and tour-fifChs of
the heat is used up in this process.
Thus it is that when zinc is thus burnt
only the remaining one-fifth is availa-
BILE for the purpose intended. The rate
of the burning makes no difference
one ounce OF zinc, for example, always
gives out the same amount OF heat.

An easy method for showing whether
butter is adulterated with beef fat has
been submitted by Hager. He satu-
rates cotton wick with a suspe cted
sample, which is first melted. He then
lights the wick and permits it to burn
for about two minutes. At the end OF
that time, when the wick is extinguish-
ed. an odor like that given off by a
tallow candle, when its flame is blown
out, is readily perceived if the butter
is artificial.
