Colonel French, an intimate friend of
Governor Ben Butler, of Massachusetts, was
in Louisville, KY. day or two ago, and had
this to say about Governor Ben:
"He is the hardest worker in MaSsachus e.ts.
He usually laoors at night. and he hss e wonder

hour what IL would take an ordinary man
FIVE hours . do. He sss marvellous

word for word what Yves saio. He remembers de-
tails very we'll: In fact, his memory is a great
store houSe, in which he packs away all that is
worth pr serving Blu. one OF the most peculiar
things about The Central is his ability 10 sleep
when he wants TO. No matter how worried he
may be; no matter what great questions are
troubling him, he can SIT dcwD aaywh sre
and by simple exert.on of his will sleep a.
peaceably as child. He wakes up thoroughly

great student and a tireless reader. His memory

satisfactory remuneration for the small '
amount OF extra labor required.
Preserving Peas.


The most effectual method we have found
for preserving peas from whitening or drying
up in drouth is to mulch them thickly
with coarse hay or straw, to a width of al
least two feet on each side Of the row. Our
garden soil is q fine porous gravel, and
unless the season is cool and moist the pea
vines dry up so badly as to produce little
fruit. Mulching heavily is consequently
necessity in order to save them By doing
this we have obtained as good crops as when
May, June and July were cool and rather
rainy. 1t is not necessary to bush dwarf
they will sometimes blow down, aud then
the further advantage OF their being
mulched is that the pods are kept clean and
dry, and escape being widowed 1t is an
excellent thing also to mulch both pole aud
bush beans, melons. squashes and cucumbers
in. the sans way.

The KsRkakee Line has inaugurate9 the
'1unch basket system, similar to that in
vogue on some Of the Eastern roads. They
have printed little bills of fare from which
you select what you want. The conductor
finds out how many want lunch and then
telegraphs ahead and has them prepared.
A first-class dinner is thus obtained to be
eaten at leisure without the hurry incidental
TO stopping and eating a hasty meal at some
wayside station. 1t will also be cheaper, as
the lunch will cost but forty or fifty cents.
Lafayette has been made headquarters for
the preparation of these lunches.--Lafayette

bed. lean hardly say That was first attacked with
the disease IN 1880. for my lungs had been veal

They informed my vile thai had better be told
that L could not live, my time would be very

The next day my friend, Mr.. A. ]. Leih hearing OF
my condition, sent me bottle OF your Pulmonic

sheen Grubs I'm the Head.

II is said that the grub may be easily re-
moved by exposing the sheep to the sun
during the day. and removing them 70 cover
at night. The grub likes the light and heat
of the sun, and for the sake of these is in
duced to leave its secret place up in the
sleeps head, and crawl down so low in the
nostrils that it can be blown out or pulled
from them by the shepherd. Blowing tobac-
CO or other sickening, disagreeable smoke
up the nostrils, seems TO have little or no
effect in dislodging the grub, so irritating
and often injurious. The best way is proven
ton, aud 10 guard gainst the CAD fly (CE ,trus
ovis) depositing their eggs In the nostrils of
the sheep, when the eggs hatch the grun

kept we'll smeare3 with tar during July and
August, the fly is prevented from deposissng
its eggs. Instead OF doing this smearing by
hand, a much easier and more expeditions
meti cd is to put fine salt in trough, and
cover il with tar. AS the sheep come up to
lick the salt, they get their noses all smeared.
A good thing. also. is 10 turn up furrow in
the pasture for the sheep TO thrust their
noses into loose ground. This also assists in
keeping off the fly.

ing the process. Strain it and add peck OF
salt, dissolved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rice put into boiling water, and
boiled into thin paste; half a pound OF
powdered Spanish whiting and pound OF

these well together, and let the mixture
stand for several days. Keep the wash thus

GREASE ON KITCHEN FLooRs--With the
greatest care the housewife will occasionally
spill little grease on the kitchen floor.

grease and prevent penetrating the wood.

When dry fold three thickneSses OF brown

on it q hot smoothing iron: this will draw

the year. when the air begins to seem warm
as compared with the recent wintry atmos-
phere, great many people remove at once
the heavy flaDnels they have been wearing
all winter, and always with disastrous re-
suits. Whoever does so will be pretty sure
to put them on again; after being LAID up
with q severe cold, influenza or rheumatism.
Children especially, although the same ap-
plies TO older people, should be kept in their
winter flannels until the weather has become
settled aud warm. The surface of their
bodies has been made tender by winter
wrsppings and even when warm weather
comes the change should be gradual. gar
ment by garment. A change from thick
clothing to thin is always unsafe; it is the
best way to put on lighter hannels for q
month or so after the heavy ones are re-
moved. Spring brings a great deal of i'll
health with 1t, but most of the trouble is
caused by the carelessness of people in
changing their clothing. Health is toe
precious to be disregsrded for momentary
comfort.
