WHY JUDGE BLACK USES THE WEED
Mot long ago Judge Black met gentle

ton OF all civilized people. you'll find
it hard Casa hard case, my frlend.' u
replied the Judge, with a solemn wink.
II tried to break myself of it once-didn't
ever tell you P Well, it was when was
Attorney General, and said to myself
Jeremiah Black, we've got to stop this
thing" So i made up my mind, aud one
morning started down to my office with
out scrap Of tobacco. began the day
badly. and it got worse by degrees. I
never felt so much like savage in my
life. dismissed two clerks, bounced a
messenger. made fool of myself three or
four times, snapped at everybody, and
started home feeling myself to be a total
failure and all creation mistake. On the
way met a man whom respected very
much. He was religious man. I told
him my experience with leaving off tobac-
co and asked his advice. Judge" he
said. my experience is the same as yours

tired of my wife, and If had kept it up

that tobacco chewing was conducive to

A JOCKEYS WEDD1Na.-The festivi-
ties on the occasion of the wedding of
Fred Archer, the famous English jockey,
at New Market on the 3Oth ult., to Miss
Nellie Dawson, attracted great deal of
attention. The wedding presents aggre-
gated in value at least $25, 900. Among
the most valuable of them Is a solid sill
yer dinner service from Lord Falmouth.
Lord Aylesford dinner service. Prince
Batthyany gave the bride a handsome
bracelet with pearl as large as Brazil
nut, round which were circled girdles of
diamonds The Countess Baltazzi gave
lace and ivory fan, which bore the mon
ograms of the bride and bridegroom in a
jeweled CIPHER surmounted by a count
ess's coronet in pearls; Count Festetic
gave hall clock and cigarette cabinet
and the Hon. Gerard had the garden of
Falmouth House-the name which Arhc.
er has given his new residence laid out.
The house may be said to have been fur
nished from cellar to roof with furniture,
pictures, silverware, linen, books and
book cases, in fact, nearly everything re-
quisite for housekeeping. In the stable
was horse and brougham from one ad
mirer and dog-cart from another. The
men and boys IN the employ of Mr.. Mat
thew Dawson, under whom Archer served
his apprenticeship, gave an oak clock and

EX-PREsIDENT HAYES AT CHURCH
The Concord IN. H. Monitor prints pri.
vate letter written with free hand by a
citizen of that town who is temporarily
staying in Fremont. Ohio, in which the
writer says: II went to the church where
the ex-Plesident attends. and was fortu-

looked as If he was on good terms with
himself, and showed few indications of
age. He is grayer than he was four years
ago, but you and are in the same boat in
that respect. The ex-President came in
with his wife and daughter. He evidently
don't care much about his dress. He had
an old SLOUGH hat in his hand and around
his neck red bandanna was tied, but his
coat was the worst. 1t was several de-
grees too large in the back, and fitted like
an ox-yoke. 1t was probably the hasty
effort of some local tailor. He walks like
a countryman, with loose, swinging gait,

and spoke few words to couple of coun-

that they copied the exChief Magistrate
in the matter OF clothes. He was affable
and did considerable bowling. Evidently

IT MAKES FARMERS PooR.-It makes
farmers poor to take wagon load of corn
to town and carry it home in sack of
flour year after year. We can't raise
wheat any more in Illinois. What shall
we co ? ask the farmers. You can raise
twenty-five bushels to the acre, as good as
ever grew. How Simply by forcing it
ahead of the season so it will get ripe be-
fore the hot weather comes on. On the
first day of February make as strong salt
brine as you can in barrels half full. Clean
all the wheat you wish to SOW. perfectly.
Then put your wheat into the barrels or
hogsheads of the salt brine, and let it re-
main there two weeks or more; then take
the wheat out and lay it in a heap on the
barn floor to let the water run off and dry
so you can save it, and as soon as your
ground is in good working order, SOW
your wheat and cover it well, and it will
grow strong, black green and heavy, and
will get ripe two weeks earlier-before
chinch bugs come. You will get twenty
five bushels per acre as fine as ever grown.
Take some of the same wheat and not
soak it, SOW it the same day and you will
not get any wheat. l know it.-Wenona

UNDERTAKEN ENORMOUS PROFITS.
-Coffins are made by the wholesale and
turned out by the thousand every month.
Other articles of funeral furniture are
manufactured in the same way. There are
large shops for the manufacture of shrouds
and the manufacturer sells to the under
taker. He usually is the same man who
makes collins and coffin trimmings, and
everything he sells to the undertaken, as
rule, is sold for half of the retail price,
and often for less than that amount so
that the undertaken makes his sale on the
basis Of a large margin. The least costly
shroud, that which retails for $225, costs
the undertaken not more than 80 cents.
Nor is this enormous profit confined to the
shroud. In all they purchase from these
manufacturers, from the coffin to the most
Insignificant trapping Of the grave. there
is a gain in the retail Of at least fifty per
cent. and often more. There IS one firm
in this city that never has any less than
five thousand collins in stock, varying in
price from $40 to $500 and more even.-

FACTS ABOUT FLoUR.-Flour is pecu-
liarly sensitive to the atmospheric infu-
ences, hence it should never be stored in
room with sour liquids, nor where onions
or fish are kept, nor any article that taints
the air Of the room in which it is stored.
Any smell perceptible to the sense will be
absorbed by the hour. Avoid damp cellars
or lofts where free circulation of air
cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool, dry,
airy room. and not exposed to freezing
temperature nor to intense summer or to
artificial heat for any length of time above
700 to $50 Fahrenheit. 1t should not
come IN contact with grain or other SUBJ
stances which are liable to heat. Flour
should be sifted and the particles thorough
ly disintegrated and then warmed before
baking. This treatment improves the
color and baking properties of the dough.
The sponge should be prepared for the
oven as soon as the yeast has performed
its mission, otherwise fermentation sets
in and acldity results.

EFFICACY OF PRAYER.-If there is a
disease over which mere imagination
would appear to have no control it Is
Bright's disease. When one is thus afflic-
ted the chances of long life are terribly
against him. Miss Nina Powers, however
of Palmyra, has been cured, so she de-
clares. and so her family and friends say,
by prayer; not by prayer and medicine,
but by prayer without medicine. It is
another of those events of which eve ry
physician has taken note and the philosophy
of which does not puzzle him. He shakes
his head in doubt, while a large proper
ton of the community accept the story as
it is told and regard the incident as an in
terposition of Providence. The historic
record Is as follows: Miss Powers suf
fered, so her physician af1irms-and this
is. of course, the important point-not
from malady caused by the mimicry of
disease, but from genuine attack of
Bright's disease. proven to be such by re-
peated analyses made by experienced mi
croscopists and by the judgment of physi-
clans who were specialists. At a given
time she determined to throw medicine to
the dogs and trust to the power of impor-
tunate prayer. She continued her suppl
cations until one morning she found her
self. to her great surprise. able to get up
and dress and walk into the break fast
room. From that hour to this-ten
months-she has been in perfect health,
enduring fatigue more easily than most
of her friends. This story is vouched for
as authentic. The testimony is given in
good faith by the family. BIZ neighbors and
by intimate acquaintance; who could
have no sufficient motive for decep tion.-

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHT BY MEASURE,
The only instrument nece ssary is a
measure with feet and inch marks upon it..
The grit is the circumference of the ami
NAL just behind the shoulder blades. The
superficial feet are obtained by multiply
ing the grth and length.
The following are the rules to get the
weight of the animals:
If less than one foot in girJh, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and more than one ,mul-
tiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three,
multiply the superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If less than nine and more than seven,
multiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Example Suppose the girth of bull
lock be six feet three inches; length five
feet six inches; the superficial area will
then be thirty four; and, In accordance
with the preceding table, the weight will
be 1872 pounds.
Example: Suppose pig to measure in
girth two feet and length one foot nine
inches. There would then be three and
half feet, which, multiplied by eleven,
gives thirty-eight and one-half pounds as
the weight Of the animal dressed.

"A CURE FOR SCIATICA.-"A cure for
neuralgia and sciatica-and, as I am told,
an unfailing one-is too valuable not to be
recorded. An English officer, who served
with distinction in the war with Napo-
leon, was once laid up in small village
in France with severe attack of sciatica.
1t so happened that at that time tlnman
was being employed in the house where he
lodged, and that this tinman, having been
himself soldier, took an interest in the
officer s case, and gave him the cure which,
in this instance, succeeded Immediately
and forever, and which I am about to set
down. It is at any rate so simple as to be
worth trial. Take moderate. sized po-
tato, rather large than small, and boil it
in one quart of water. Foment the part
affected with the water in which the pota-
to has been boiled, as hot as it can be
borne. at night before going to bed; then
crush the potato and put it on the affected
part as poultice. Wear this all night,
and in the morning heat the water, which
should have been preserved. over again,
and again foment the part with it as hot
as can be borne. This treatment must be
persevered with for several days. 1t occa-
sionally requires to be continued for as
much as two or three weeks, but in the,
shorter or longer time it has never yet
failed to be successful
