Correspondence of the GAZETTE.
LAMBERTON June 90, Is


LAMBERTON June 90, 1881.
1t has been long time since have TAX
en- the time to gossip with you. Spring
has come and gone, and with it many of
the hopes and fears of the farming com
munity. TOO much wet is the burden
of their complaint. Wheat on the level
and wet lands is only showing up the
main stalk and in most places the side
stalks are being crowded out by the
weeds. Dry weather from this on will
help most of it. but Il continuance of wet
. weather will be another argument in ia
vor of mixed farming and stock raising
! in place of all wheat.
A large breadth of flax is being sown in
this region, but Il much smaller amount
of corn than usual-mostly on account OF
poor seed.
Charles h,rter's famous i40 bushel to
the acre seed corn went back on him and
his customers-about one half of it refn@
ing to grow. Other crops are looking
fair but dry weather is needed from this
on.
Stock has come out quite well, the prin-
ciple loss being in the young ami,
mails; quite general complaint exists of
loss of thcm-espccially the lambs-prob-
ably owing to the confinement of the
hard winter.
Some threshing is being done, and the
wheat is generally poorer yield and
poorer quality than was hoped for. A
lesson has been learned by many at u
heavy cost, and that is to nccer stack on
low ground and not leave thrcshing until
it freezes up, if it is possible to avoid it.
There is but very little breaking being
done in this part of the county, the press
! of work caused by the latcncss of The
spring leaving no time for it.
Hay is plenty and now is the time for
those farmers who found themselves short
OF hay last winter to make arrangements
for an extra supply. 1t is always best to
put up an abundance of hay to. lastt i
least seven months, and then if YOU
should not need it all You will always
find some improvident or careless nei .h-
Dor that will want all you have to spare.

Conveying Scarlet Fever.

The following facts, reported by the
Hartford Courant. exhibit the "red
flag Of danger ITO all who would guard
against scarlet fever:
A Miss Avery, daughter of Franz
Gallup. Of Poquonnoo. died at Cincin.
natl with scarlet fever of the most
malignant type. A trunk containing
her wearing apparel was sent home, and
the clothing distributed among rela.
tives.
Some of the dresses were altered by
dressmaker of the village, and one o'
her customers contracted the disease
by visiting the house on business, and
among the first victims of the fever
we're members of the Gallup family.
The people, like those of most small
communities, are social and friendly
and funerals have been attended BY
neighbors and friends, and articles ol
clothing loaned and borrowed, thu.
further disseminating the contsgion.
One afflicted mother, wild with griel
at the loss of children, has taken the
remainder of her family to visit friends
at Essex, Conn.,, not thinking of the
danger to which she exposed those who
are willing to receive her.

Return of tho Hoop-Skirt.

Foreign papers report that in oppo-
sition to the limp. lsnk skirt of the
- @sthetic. the Pafisian modistes are
bringing forward the orinolette, which
is simply a revival of the hoop-skirt.
The shops in New York City. says the
Sun. are again displaying hoop-skirts.
aud report good sale for them. At
one time hOop-skirt manufactures
we're numerous and large capital Was
engaged in the business. Since the
hoop.skirt went out of fashion the
factories have nearly all disappeared
asd the capital has gone into other en-.
terprises. A manufacturer says: II
re,ollect the time when we employed
200 hands, and our product was TO-
900 skirts a day. That Was during the
war; but about 1868 the hoop.skirt
went ont OF fashion and the trade died
ont. There was q transient revival in
1870, but it disappeared, and from then
until now the hoop-sAirt trade has been
a very small part of our business. We
have always continued the manufacture
to some extent. getting orders every
now and then, mostly from the South
and West. Some ladies have never
given up the use Of the hoop-skirt at
all; but they have been old-fashioned
people. who like it because of its COM
fort. Now, however. it is in fashion
again. The demand has sprung up so
suddenly that it is impossible to meet
it. For the last six months there has
been an increasing demand. and in the
last few weeks. in addition to the local
demand. we have been constantly re.
ceiviDg orders by telegraph from Phil
adelphia. Pittsburgh, and other cities.
and are sold ahead of production all
the time. Tue trouble is that the old
operatives have gone into other pur-
suits, and it is impossible to get hands
enough. At present we are turning

"How do you account for the
chapge?"
Well. you know when fashion runs
to extremes there is likely to be vio-
lent reaction. Hoop-skirts were driven
out of fashion because the style was
pushed to such an extreme.

Too Hot.

A writer in the Portland Transcrip,
gives the following laughable descrip.
ton of the trouble toad got himself
into by not taking care what he ate.
He swallowed a wasp. thinking, no
doubt, that it was o large but defense.
less fly.
The realization of his mistake came
when the wasp began pricking his in.
ternal organs, as guilty conscience
pricks a sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs and
reached franticslly down his throat
after that wasp. Failing to dislodge
it he turned three summersaul.s in q
manner that would have rivalled the
bo:s tumbler in circus.
Then he stood up and exclaimed
"Woo-ooducl Woo.ooduc!" which war
supposed to be q call for stomach
pump or quick emetic.
BE then made several efforts to stand
on his head, but was unsuccessful.
Next. he bethought himself of the
greenback doctrine of imitation, and
puffsd out his sides until he looked like
base ball with legs to it. Imitation
didn't hit the case, and was soon absn.
doned.
Again he reached down his throat,
but his arm was too short to reach the
spot where the wasp was operating.
His head began to swim, and be
Wrapped over on his back and clawed
the air like man overheard. The
wasp was evidently unable to continue
his infiction of punishment, and the
toad began to feel better.
He got upon his feet and with fore.
foot carefully examined his ribs upon
either side. Finding them ell in place,
he stretched himself to his utmost
height two or three times to see if his
legs were in working order, and ther
hoped hop or two to make assurance
sure.
Being satisfied that he was all there
he gave croak Of relief and hoped

Action OF Coffee and Sugar OH the
Stomach.

In paper presented to the Society
de Biolaaie (Rav. Med NJ. Leven
states that cuffee. 40 far, as is ofit q
supposed, from acceleratipg the digest
i've process of the stomach, rather tends
to impede this. When thirty grammes
of coffee. diluted in $50 of water, is
given to dog, which is killed five and
half hours afterward, the stomach is
found pale. its mucous surface being
ar3mic and the vessel of its external
membrane contracted. The whole organ
exhibits marked appearance of al % mia
Coffee thus determining al 9 mia of the
mucous membrane, preventing rather
than fevoring vascular congestion, and
Of opposing rather than facilitating the
secretion of gastric juice, how comes il
that the sense Of comfort is procured
for SO many people who are accustomed
to take coffee after meal? A repast,
in fact, produces in those whose diges-
tion is torpid, heaviness of the intel
lectual faculties and embarrassment Of
the power of thinking; and these ffects,
and the disturbance of the head, are
promptly dissipated by the stimulated
t fleet which the coffee produces on the
nervous centers, as shown by expert
ments with casein. Coffee and tea
when taken in excess, are O frequent
cause of dyspepsia. for the al ~mic
condition of the mucous membrane
being periodically renewed, u perma-
nent state of congestion is at last
produced, which constitutes dyspepsia.

bad reputation, is an excellent aliment
which assists digestion, aud should not

ment, digestion of meat is found to
take place much more completely when
sugar is added. Coffee txerts both o
local and general action, operating
locally by means of its tannin, by
dimini,hing the caliber of the vessels,
but acting on the general economy by
exciting the nervous centers and the
muscular system. 1t renders d. esiion
