A Hint for Summer.

The tattie in India, says Chambers
Journal, is a large curved or sloping
screen, which accurately fits into each
door or window facing the west. and is
made of the roots of the khuskhus grass
(AndropoQon nlsU-icatus). which singu-
iarly combines strength and porosity
with the most delicious and refreshing
fragrance These screens are about an
inch in thickness, and, during the hot and
dry west wind, are saturated from ontslde
with water, which Immediately COM
mences eyaporating under the fierceness
of the blast and as evaporation always
implies cold. the wind which, in the
veranda, would raise the thermometer to
l20 degrees Fair, passes into the house
at 20 degrees or so degrees, laden with
delicious fragrance. While tattles are IN
working order all other cooling appli-
ances are unnecessary. In the neigh
borhood Of Gwalior and Jhansl there IS
another form of tattie. A small creep
ing, thorny variety of the Der (zizyfhus

this is collected and dried, and at the
proper time the whole west veranda is
mclosed with thorny walls nine to ten
inches thick. and these being saturated
from the outside, all doors are thrown
open, and delightful temperature is
secured. Tatties are of no use during
the easteEly wind, which ushers IN and
accompanies the rains. Laden with

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS researches have shown
indisputably that the art of weaving was
practiced in prehistoric times. 1t may
even date back nearly to the creation of
man, as fragments of woven cloth have
been found among the relics of the Lake
Dwellers, who are supposed to have
been about the first representatives of the
human race. The Bronze Age furnishes
specimens which place the art above
most others in degree of perfection, even
fabrics of wool being found in the re-
mains of Denmark, Scandinavia, and
England-the remains of France and
Switzerland yielding linen fabrics The
oldest historical reference to the
art of weaving is furnished by
the Bible. Job lamented that his
days were passing with the fleet
ness of weaver's shuttle and Joseph
was attired In "vestures of fine liner.

An OMAHA man, In danger of losing
his house by the foreclosure Of mort
gage, sold his wife to her admirer for
the 5000 needed to satisfy the claim.
That was two years ago, at which time
the proceeding caused considerable com

together until lately, when the original
husband. having prospered during his
period of bachelorhood, bought back the
woman at an advance of $50.

HEAL TIL

At this season the health
needs careful attention. The
blood being weakened and
the system run down, dam
gerous disease is liable to
secure a hold that cannot
be easily removed. What
at first appears to be but
slightindisposition, often de-
velops into troubles that
may be incurable.
At this season the liver
becomes inactive, the COM
plexion sallow, pimples ap-
pear on the skin, dyspepsia
and indigestion affect the
digestive organs, &c.
What is needed is a COM
plete, reliable and strength
ening tonic. Such a medi-
cine is
Browns IRON BITTERs,
which, by its great strength
ening powers, diffuses new
life in the blood, reyitalizes
the whole system, givingtone
to the stomach, muscles and
nerves, effectually relieving
all weakness and tendency
to lassitude.
Browns IRON BITTERs is
a true tonic which has been
thoroughly tried, is made
by a reliable firm, and has
the hearty endorsement of
the medical profession. 1t
will cure dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, and malaria, and
relieve all wasting diseases,
such as consumption and
kidney affections.
As a medicine for those
diseases peculiar to women
it is without a rival.

They have some very tough hard
shell bulls up the Wilmington and

up to the times if a correspondent for
tho West Chester Local News is to be
believed. The correspondent says:
Mr.. John Miles, of ortonville, in
vitGd some of his neighbors last Fri
day morning to help him kill beef.
There being some noted marksmen
among them, Dec. Rubincame was cal
led upon to slay the mighty beef. The
doctor stepped forward, received the
rifle, took dead aim and fired; but his
bnllship paid but little attention to it,
and kept or eating the oorn that was
given him to keep him quiet. The
doctor fired two more shots, which re-
suited in the bull still being master of
the barnyard. Having used all the
bullets they had. Professor Bane OBJ
ligingly got the Post masters rifle and
returned to the scene Of slaughter, wnen
he was told to try his luck.
He banged away with no good result.
Then Major RnDinCame fred two shots,
which failed to bring the beef to the
ground. Then it was that the majestic
form Of our enterprising grocery
A. Rogers stepped forward, took the
rifle, perched himself on top of a small
stra W stack, fred away and missed.
The last that was seen of him he was
beating hasty retreat from the stack.
The bull by this time was getting his
dander up, and made things pretty
lively by dashing through the crowd
and across the fields, followed by the
ritiemen. Finally he was
cornered and shot by the doctor, his
last shot making the ninth which had
been fred at him.

Long Ear of Corn.

The following we clip from the Wes
Chester Village Record, November 2l
Our esteemed friUnd John Baily Of
East Marlborough, very kindly brings
in two ears OF cory, specimens of his
crop this year.
One of the ears measures 1871 inches
in length, and the other IA inches
while the latter one at the tbickest
point, measured inches in circumfer-
enCe. These specimens are the largest
ears that have so far been added to
sour Farm and Garden Department.
Who can beat them ?
That is not hard to beat, and the ears
that beat them were brought to the
REPUBLICAN office this morning by 8
Christiana Hundred farmer VINO charged
us particularly that if we mentioned
his corn we should not mention the
name of the person who grew it. He
left four ears, measuring respectively
15H, 14K, 14N and IA inches.
The 14N inch ears measure 9 inches
in circumference at the butt. The long
est one measures inches in circumfer-
ence. Chester County must turn out
larger corn than that if she expects to
beat New Castle County. 1t has been
suggested that we save the cob of the
largest ear for fl hing pole.

LABOR anu wages

The iron and steel men of Philadel-
phia are of the opinion that the labor
disturbances which are depressing bust
ness in the West will not reach that
city. All the mills are running on full
time, Tho price of iron fo- the ensuing
month has been fixed for 2H cents a
pound, reduction of one-fifth of cent
from the rate fixed last February. This
will work reduction of five per cent.
in wages under the agreement made in
1878.
An extensive iron manufacturer in
Pittsburg said yesterday that he re-
garded the outlook for the iron bust
ness as ominous. Pittsburg farms
were making heavy sales in Chicago at
IN cents. He thought there might be
a slight revival in January when rail-
road dividends were paid and money
was little easier, but by April the
trade would again be dull.
