The LEDGER. a usual, got a scoop
on the news of the arrest of the in

were made at l p. m. and two hours
later the LEDGER had several thous-

the hands of an anxious but rejoiced
public. Nothing has happened in
Mexico for some time that caused
more general satisfaction than the ar
rest Of the parties concerned in the
burning. Now if the parties who
poisoned the dogs can be caught
Mexico will have a day set apart for

Carrollton, Illinois, wants water

make of a powder magazine, but what
Carrollton wants water works for is q

:-Southern Industries gives this good
advice to farmers: ''Stock your farm to
the fullest extent with horses, cattle,
sheep, and hogs; raise all the feed pos
slble, and you have put your coarse
grain. fodder, and straw to the best use
possible in increasing the profits of the
farm"
To take out dents or bruises in
furniture, wet the part with warm
water; double a piece of brown paper
five or six times, soak it and lay it on
the place; apply on that hot tlatiron
until the moisture is evaporated. If the
dent Is not gone repeat the process.
After two or three applications the dent

The amount of the crop of straw
berries next year, says the Country
Gentleman, will depend much on the
treatment of the bed this year. A
strong growth late in summer and
during the first half of the autumn will
give good crop next year. Scatter
manure between the rows or about the
stools, and work it into the surface soil
with steel rake or hoe. if in the
garden, or with horse culture in the
field. Keep the runners cut, and fine
growth will be the result.
-Baby's Pie. The awful prevalence
of pie in this country is illustrated by
the remark sent to the Drower by a
grandfather, proud of his grandchild of
three years who is visiting him. En-
throned in her high chair, she waited
at table for the appearance of the des-
sert. The family pie was duly set before
grandma, and baby's eyes We're directed

her Majesty was slipped before her.
Equal to the occasion her eyes dancing
with delight, she burst out with: "Oh,

"A correspondent of The Household
says the way to make a husk bed is to
put the husks into plenty of water and
spread them on the grass to dry, first
spreading sheets on the grass to keep
away the insects, ETC., if possible.
When the husks are dry draw them
through a flax hatchel, or with a fork
split them several times to make them
softer. Then fill into bed tick Don't
put in enough to be hard, but make
good, comfortable bed. Have slit in
the center of the bed tick, and every
day stir the husk up. A button and
button hole in the bed tick will
make all secure, and if you wash or
scald the husks every few years, they
will keep, and you will have a cheap
and comfortable bed.

generally recognized that irritation of
any kind in these passages produces
