American Women.

These sensible criticisms on the con-
dition of American women have lately
been uttered by Miss Emily Faithful:
am satisfied that most of them have q
pretty good time of it. but there is mnc1
to be done for them yet. found every
where lack of available work for them.
There are many, very many respectable
women who want work little above
drudgery. and cannot get it. Much has
been done tor women who have the re-
qubite training and taste by procuring
Tor them employment in decorative
lines. Tho best efforts on behalf Of wo-
mer are in the direction Of educational
progress, for it is mental culture that
must make women independent. With
out disparagement OF those who are pro-
noting the cause Of woman suffrage, I
must say that in my opinion their eaer-
gies would be better directed toward
helping women to independence by Civ
ing them employment.

Look to Your Stove Pipes,

At the close Of winter, as the warm
season approaches and less artificial
heat is needed, the danger from stopped
f1ues and pipes becomes q serious mat
ter. During the winter large quantities
OF fuel have been consumed, and SCOT
and ashes have been carried forward
and become deposited in those sections
of t1ues where they can obtain a lodg-
ment. In horizontal pipes the accumu-
lations are large. in many cases almost
or quite stopping the draft into the
chimney, and in vertical pipes SCOT adj
heres to the interior surfaces so az
greatly to npede the flow of the pro-
ducts of combustion. Under these cir
cumstances the use of stoves and fur
naces becomes source of absolute dan
ger in the spring months, and they
should receive prompt attention. In all
cases the pipes should be taken down
and t 9 deposits thoroughly removed,
and this duty can be attended to on q
mild day. Furnaces and pipes in cellars
should not BIZ permitted 10 remain with
out efficient cleaning, as the hazard
from coal gas is very great. Remember
that the escape of gases into cellar or
basement is just as dangerous as their
escape directly into sleeping room, as
from the law of gaseous diffusion the
poisonous products are constantly con-
veyed all over hou g, even when walls
of brick and tight hoors oppose their
passage.-fopuiar Science News.

How to Treat the Asparagus Bed.

1t is very easy to raise asparagus.
Truckers grow it with the same facility
that they do patch of potatoes, or cab
bages, using in preparing the ground
the plow and harrow, the latter being
commonly employed in the spring after
the top dressing has been removed,
without injury to the crowns or roots.
EARLY in April tine coarser part of the
winters cove ring of manure should be
removed and the rest forked in. This
should be followed by a coat of rough
salt-that from the meat or nackerel bar
rel will answer-which will suffice for
any additional manure for the season,
and at the same time keep down the
weeds. Care, however, must be taken
not to apply any salt to new beds for at
least year after being old enough to be
cut, or serious results may follow.

In front of the berth of Miss Squires, MT. Oliver, the County Clerk of Lake County, was sleep ing. He was burned to death. His wife was not with him. The next berth con- tained MT. and Mrs. Cassell. He escaped, but she was killed. A physician occu- pied the next berth, whose name is un- known. He was burned to death, but his body was identified. All on my side of the car, with the exception of Mrs. ex-Governor Downey were saved.
 "Porter Ashe, wife, and maid occupied the drawing-room car. In the dining sleeping car were lady and her daughter, who, i believe, were Mrs. and Miss Brown. Capt. Watterhouse, his wife, and two children were also in this car. There were only few persons in the dining car who escaped, and they were more or less injured. One of the tramps who were killed jumped from the train while it was moving at lightning speed, and the other was crushed horribly in the wreck.
 J, w. Searle and Capt. T. Ii. Thatcher, who were reported among the injured, escaped unhurt. Both were in the coach which kept the track.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who VIII ex- anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving ana polishing, a large proportion of the preclou- metal used, is needed not only to stihen ana hold the engraved portions Tn place, ana sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as UrtL- IrY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal IS overcome, ana the SAME soLIDrrY AND STRENGTH produced as from one-third to one half of the usual cost or solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: plate of nickle composi- tion metal, especially adapted to the purposeS has two plates of SOLID COLE soldered one on eack side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result Is strip of heavy plated composition. from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamellng; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

Colorado Cattle Raising.
THE PRICES AND PROFITS OF CATTLE
 HERDING ON THE PLAINS.

From a gossipy letter written by a cattle rancher near Rosita, Colorado, is taken the following:
 "Last week we sold 184 head of cattle and received $8, 145 for them delivered to the purchaser in our meadow. We have 109 head more in the pasture, for which the same buyers offered us $40 per head, to be delivered some short time hence. They are all designed for the Denver market for beef These are better prices than we could get for the same cattle in the Chicago market, the average being from 4 to cents gross. Think of it on our own range; nearly every creature was of our own stock and raising, and cost only the branding and gathering them this fall, not to exceed $1 per head Adding taxes we have had to pay on them this fall, that may be too small a figure; perhaps they will range $1.25 to $1.50 per year for our herd for four years back.
 " As the time of the delivery of the let sold there was 8 Denver butcher here who expected to buy the lot and take the balance left in the pasture. He said they were the best looking Short Horn grades he had seen for long time. It is fact that all or nearly all our cattle are very fine shaped and good looking. None in this region are better, if I do say it. They have only one really bad fault, and that is the fault of only portion their legs are too long; too much daylight under the belly. Eastern fancy stock raisers may say what they will, this is the tendency of all Short Horn crosses on Texas stock. They will run to legs in spite of everything. The best beef strain of Short Horn that can be found will do it; and some of them that can show the highest herd book record pro- duce terribly scrawny, ll-looking calves and cattle, not one whit better than some of our native American cattle.
 "Our increase this year will be nearly 500 head. Not bad! Calves at four months old worth BIO; at one year, $15. But this is not as many by at least BOG as we ought to have branded if ou1 neighbors had their herds stocked as i OUTS are. Were I alone would try to go further south, at least as far as the 33d degree of north latitude. At that rate our increase of brands would be near 1,2O0 instead of 500. That would pay man for his hard work; say soc fat steers each year at $30 to $4O pel head. YeuN can easily computej the thousands of income.

The Board of Health of Asbury Park, New Jersey, has adopted 8 system by which, if strictly enforced, the danger of contagion through the schools will be reduced so 8 minimum. Every teacher is furnished with blanks and every case of contagious or infectious disease is at once reported to the Board, which issues a notice forbidding the child's attendance at school until an official permit has been given. The Board then assumes full control of the case, and keeps 8 record of it, thus ''Name, John Doe; resi- dence, Bangs ave-. disease, scarlet fever; date of prescription, January 8, 1883 j; withdrawal of prescription, January 30, 1885," At the office of the Board maps showing the exact location of every case of contagious disease are open to public inspection

 From the Pittsfeld (Mass) Eage.
 Stone in tho Bladderis very dangerous aik. ment; but many most remarkable cures have ot late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention oi Dr. Kennedy of Ron- dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, gtates in a letter to Dr. Kennedy that he has been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years, and had consulted at different times seven physi- fians; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end or last January Mir. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone" He decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the " "Favorite Remedy" as, if possible to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable resuit< "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after I came home passed two gravel stones, and am ooinG nicely now. If you would like to see the stones will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th,' and is signed " Peter Lawler." The stones which are so large as to war rant for "Kennedys Favorite Remedy" the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedys possession. Incidentally Mir. Lawler also states that the "Fas- orite Remedy" at the same time cured hlm ot a stubborn case of Rheumatism; and 1t Is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the urinary organs it is a searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

Obstinate affection known Scrofula is a taint in the blood resulting from deficient nutrition. It is powerful disorder, outlving its victim by appear ance in descendants.
