Her Recommendations.

Twas dull, heavy evening; the
light of the dozen gas jets along the
streets only served to make the haze
and log visible. The clock Just tinkled
forth the hour of nine, and, with the
usual remarN that twas time honest
folks were abed," old McGunnigiggle
trudged OIL upstairs, followed by the
aged partner of his sorrows and search
er for his joys.
"DOn you young folks setup till the

"N0-o-o," replied Il sweet voice
from the parlor; 1--WE won't, Wiz we?"
said she in an undertone.

Saving Seed-COrn.

Husking-time is the proper period to
secure a good supply of ripe, sound
corn for planting next spring; and the
selection should not be let to the judy
ment of boys, but if possible to men of
experience.
Several points should be clearly OBJ
served in selecting seed ears
l. Be careful to notice that the kerr
mel is fully ripe, hard and glossy.
2. See that the ear is fully developed
that is, that the rows of kernels are
in a straight line, and not set irregular
ly on the cob, as is often the case A so
note that the ear is covered with corn
to the very end.
3. Take particular notice that the
ear is from stalk which produced at
least two sound ears If three are
found on the stalk, all the bette.
L. 1t will be found desirable to have
the part between the ear and huSk
quite small, that the ear may be the
more readily disengaged at husking-
time.
5. Ii the quantity desired is small,
then leave all the husks on, simply re-
moving the silken portion at the end.
Tie two or four of the outer husks to-
gether, and hang up near the roof in
the barn or other out-building, out OF
the reach of mice, and in a perfectly
dry place.
Notice also the remaining ears Or the
stalk to see if they are fully developed
and of good quality. Should they be
found interior. it is best to reject all on
that stalk, for the chances are that
seed from the sound ear will transmit
the defects OF the deformed one.
BY using judgment in the selection OF
seed-corn, many farmers improve their
crop year by year, while others who
practice the easy ''ht or miss method
lind their corn crop rapidly deteriorat-
ing, --EJami1Ier and Chronicle.

The Laclede Hotel, st. Lonis. Mo.

Messrs. j. l.. Griswold and w. F.
Sperry, well-known and experienced
hotel men, have recently purchased the
above property and have redecorated,
refurnished and reappointed the hotel
at an expenditure of $4,000.
The plumbing and sewerage has re-
ceived especial attention. All improve
ments have been successfully embodied
to secure the most perfect sanitary con-
ditions. The house is supplied with the
electric light, electric bells, hot and cold
water, new passenger elevator, tele-
graph and ticket offices, and contains
800 rooms, and has the most central To-
cation in the city, situated on Chestnut,
extending from Fifth to Sixth Streets.
Being owners of the property, with no
rent to pay, Messrs. Griswold q Sperry
are prepared to cater to the public at
the low prices of $500, $3.50 and $500

CONSUMPTION,
Important to the Public well ne the Med
lcnl Profe ssiOn.

IcaI Profession.
Halls Journal Of Health, referring to Con-
sumption, makes the following important
statement:
consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning, then, on
going to bed, getting more and more FREE
Guent, with more and more phlegm, in
creasing debility, thinness of flesh, short
ness Of breath, and quickness OF pulse. In
fatal cases its average course Is about two
years; hence the importance Of arresting
the disease at rs early a stage as possible,
and the sooner rational means are employed
for this purpose the greater the chance OF
success. The disease is owing to an irrita-
tion commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs, so that their action is inter-
fered with, and the blood does not receive
sufficient oxygen to purify 1t. The most
marked sign OF lung disease is emacation
and the most positive indication OF return
ing health is increase in weight"
So speaks Hdl'S Journal Of Heath, and we
may add that in desperate cases, and, in
fact, in all cases of Consumption, or trOu-
bles of the throat and lungs, immediate
relief may be obtained and permanent cure
effected by the use of DR.. VIM. Halls Bal
sam for the Lungs, a medicine KNOW: fos
more than thirty-tive years as an unfailing
remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and al
| pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the
| worst cases OF Consumption have been cured
| by the use of Halls Balsam has been at
| tested to by the thousands who have used
it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful
remedial efficacy.

1t seems that for some time past
there has been extensively employed
throughout Germany peculiar fluid
substance, which has received the name
of carbolineum, and which, being almost
as fluid as water, is very readily applied
not alone to woodwork, but to hempen
goods generally. Its peculiar recon-
mendation is due TO the fact that ii
forms an excellent preservative agent for
articles liable to contact with damp soil,
or for such as are purposely destined for
prolonged immersion in water-for eX-
ample, wooden piles and the meshwork
of fishing-nets. The new preservative
is an oil, apparently of the petroleum
class, and has been found to contain,
among other compounds, about ten pei
cent. of carbolic acid One peculiar
feature possessed by it is that, while il
freely sinks into wood exposed to its &C
ton, and which it ma erially hardens, il
does not close up the pores.

sufficiently used in making simple pud-

gendered very often, believe. because the
milk is stinted in making them, or poor

cream, should be added when they are

In golden youth, when seems the earth
A summer land for singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are light,
And not shadow turks in sight,
We do not know il, but there lies
Somewhere, veiled under evening skies,
A garden all must sometimes see,
Gethsemane, Gethsemane,
Somewhere his ewn Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we 60 our ways,
Love lends halo to the days,
Light sorrows sail like clouds, afar,
We laugh and say how strong we are,
We hurry on, and hurrying 60
Close to the border land of woe
That waits for you and waits for me;
Gethsemane, Gethsemane,
Forever waits Gethsemane
Down shadowy lanes, across strange stream
Bridged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty cape of years,
Close to the great salt fount of tears,
The garden lies; strive as you may
You cannot miss it in your way.
All paths that have been or shall be,
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane!
All those who journey, soon or late
Must pass within the gardens gate;
Must kneel alone in darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say
Not mine, but thine;" who only pray,
ct this cup pass, and cannot see
The purpose in Gethsemane.

Waste Material From Towns.
From the Lancaster, pa Farmer.

From the Lancaster, (Pa) Farmer.
Nearly every farmer goes to the nearest
village to trade, visit mechanic, or obtain
his letters and papers, at leastonce week.
He often takes load to market, but he
rarely brings one homo. He can with very
little trouble, haul o load of material that
may be obtained for nothing, and which
will be of great value to his land. Most
village people make no use of the ashes
produced in their stoves, or of the bones
taken from the meat they consume. Scarce
~ any brewer has aAy use for the hops that
have been boiled in his watts, and the black
smith hardly ever saves the clippings he
takes from the feet of horses. All these
materials make excellent manure. A bar
rel of shavings, cut from the hoofs of horses
contains more ammonia than is contained
in load of stable manure. Applied to
land without preparation they might give
no immediate results, but they would be-
come decomposed in time and crops Of all
kinds would derive benefit from them.
They may be SO treated that they would
produce immediate results. By covering
them with fresh horses manure they will
decompose very rapidly. They may be al
SO leached in barrel and the water that
covered them drawn off and applied to
plants. Water in which pieces of horns
and hoofs have been soaked is an excellent
manure for plants that require forcing. II
stimulates the growth Of tomatoes, rose
bushes, and house plants very rapidly, and
emits no offensive odors. A vast amount
of fertilizing material is wasted in towns
that farmers could obtain the benefit Of
with very little trouble.
