This afternoon, DR.. Bliss, who seem

said that the general condition of the

yesterday, but then what change there
had been was in the direction of i'm

said, change in precisely those symp-

anxiety, and which have most direct
bearing on the future Of the case, viz:
symptoms dependent on the condition
of the stomach. The one great CUES

slight septic taint of blood, in which
that swelling had its origin, are of sec

with the consequences of the failure of
the stomach to assimilate food. Ex-

On being asked what he thought of the
condition of the patients stomach, to-
day, he said: 1t takes food to-day very

trouble with it. The stomach itself WIS
not so much in fault yesterday, as the
vomiting was caused by the patients

The Best Way to Keep Tomatoes.

An old Illinois farmer, who is blessed,
as mos all farmers are, with an excellent
wife, has during the whole year, when
occasion requires it, the choicest toma-
toes served up on his table. In answer
to the question how he was able to
keep them in such an excellent manner,
he replied that it was the handiwork of
his wife; that the tomatoes were dried,
which preserved all of their original
qualities. Here is the way she mana
ges them: The fruit to be fully ripe,
strained through sieve, slowly cooked
half an hour, then spread on clean
plates and dried in an oven, the whole
process requiring about two days before
the fruit will be ready to be packed
away. It will keep for years, and be
just as good and fresh as if just pluck
ed off the vines.

The swindlers go to well-to-do far
mer and tell him he has been recon-
mended as good man to sell their ma
chimes, and ask him to become theil
agent. He Is persuaded that they sell
rapidly, and that he can make large
per cent. profit. He is told that he will
not be expected to risk any money or
pay anything until he has sold 1925
worth of the machines. He is induced
to sign the contract above given, which,
1t will be seen, sets forth the agree
ment when read straight across. It
looks fair and lnnoocnt nnnnoh and
soon the farmer typified In the forego-
Ing document as ThOs. Brown, puts his
name IN the blank space just before the
words, "Sole Agent for Toms
pany." Afterwards the scamps easily
change the document from u contract
to sell, into prOmissory note by tear
ing off that part to the right of the line
drawn through the agreement as print
ed. In the original presented to the
farmers, of course no line appears; and
it is given here simply to show where
the division takes place, and the sepa-
ration ct which point, so radically
cha ges the nature of the document.

July Storms on the Sun.

The sun was storm swept through the
whole month. The clear air that ring
ed the earth on the 1st was soon after
filled with clouds and thunder storms,
and was swirled here and there into
death-dealing tornadoes, so that the
astronomers telescope became useless.
But in all the intervals of fair weather
it showed the suns face vet spotted
and wrinkled and trimmed with erupt-
ions of flaming gas. In the middle of
the month some Ofthe spots, or holes,
were of enormous magnitude, and of
wonderful complexity in shape and de-
tail Again at the close of the month
huge groups and rows of spots were
stretched across ne disk, and the view
with high magniiers was startling and
exceedingly impressive.
The most that astronomers are able
to say with confidence about these spots
is that they are holes Of a size and depth
almost beyond belief; that they are pro-
duced by disturbances in the glowing
matter of the sun, and that they are
governed by some law that causes
them to wax and wane in number, in a
period ofabout eleven years. There
we're no spots to speak of in 1878; they
began to appear frequently in 1880; in
1888 they will be most numerous, and
in 1889 the sun will again be free from
them.-New York Sun.

SWindling Farmers.

1t is reported that there is in Indian

Grating quite extensively among the
farmers of Indiana, and, perhaps, of
other states. They deal in patens
rights, or pretend to, and the nipple
ments and machinery which they
claim to represent are often among the
best, and so they are enabled to do
much more damage than they other
wise could. But implements and ma
chinery are not exactly their strong
hold. 1t is ia an ingenious contract
that they make their money. Below

THE Soldiers Reunion at Caldwell,
O., which has come to be one of the
established institutions of the country,
will be held this year on the 9th Of
September. There are many features
about II which distinguish it from all
other army meetings. One is the re-
latlVely large number of private sol
dlers who take part in it; another is the
accurate reproduction of army life
which IS seen in the encampment.
another, the high rank and standing of
the orators of the day who have been
induced by the energetic solicitations
of the Hon. ]. NJ. Dalzell, the perpetual
Secretary of the Reunion, to officiate
in successive years. Gen. Sherman be-
gan the list in 1874; Gen. r. B. Hayes
followed in 1875; Gen. Fitzpatrick in
1876; President Hayes in 1877; Gen.

in 1879. As the New York Tribune re-
