FARM AND FIRESIDE.

To remove paint from glass use
powdered pumice stone dampened with
alcohol, and applied with piece of
hair cloth. Prairie Farmer.
Lead Pipes: To clean the waste
pipes leading from the sink, pour down
them a strong solution of potash dis
solved in hot water. Be very careful
that none of this mixture gets on your
hands or clothing, as it will destroy all
animal matter that it comes in contact
with Scientific Amertcan.
The closer corn roots can be kept
to the surface, and then supplied with
food and ample moisture, the better
will the object of Il crop be attained.
This implies shallow blowing which en-
ables the roots to obtain the humus
nearer the surface along with the
greater amount of heat. - CeUeldpd

ufacturers of patented tools and imple-
ments. The number of patents which
| have been granted for inventions which
relate to agricultural processes and
| domestic apparatus and convenience
amount to many thousands. The fol-
lowing list numbers the most of them,
viz: Harrows and diggers, 2,421; plows,
$3.50; seeders and planters, 1868; har-
| gesters, G,6O6; dairy appliances, 2,429;

2,70S; implements for garden and or
chard, 682; management of cattle, ETC.,
1892; total, $500. In addition to this
vast number there are 14,021 patents
relating TO household matters in exist
ence, of which 1893 pertain to the
laundry, and 2,153 to beds and bed
ding. Besides all these, there are 1.207
patents relating to baths and closets,

manufacture is doubtless of no practical
use; but, on the other hand, so much
of it is of Indispensable value to us, that
were farmers suddenly deprived of it
all agriculture would be brought to y
dead stop and the farm-worK would
cease. Even the light, useful hoes would
have to be dispensed with, and the
farmer would have to dig holes with q
sharp stick burned to point in the fire
to plant his corn and potatoes. While
we gratefully acknowledge all this, we
must, on the other hand, point to the
| fact that the manufacturers at least
if not the inVentors-haye been repaid
in a muniticent manner, as hundreds of
millionaires who owe their fortunes to
their profits in this direction might
testify. SO that while the farmers have
been benefited they have Cancelled all
obligation by having paid for everything
| they have received, and, on the whole,
perhaps to the extent of three times or
more the actual necessary value to afford
a fair adequate return for benefits re-
ceiVed.
But at the same time the farmers
have been harassed beyond patient en-
durance by flock of vultures which
have lowered around this grand army of
patentees, and have swooped down
upon them and made them prey. By
deceit and false representations articles
which have been fraudulently patented
or otherwise in some cases-have
been sold to farmers at full prices, os-
tensibly as having been not patented,
and soon after claims have been made
for heterogeneous of the patents which
the farmers have been obliged to pay.
1t is this injurious operation of the
patent laws which farmers object to,
and all they ask is that the purchaser in
good faith of any patented article should
not be held liable for Infringement but
that this burden should be thrown upon
the real oflender-the maker and seller
of such articles. With this amendment
farmers would make no complaints in
regard to the present patent laws, al
though some other changes might be
desirable.-M 7. Times.

while, was afraid L would lose my eye

advised me to take eleven BRANDRETH'S
PILLS at night. They acted very power

better. l passed four very bilious stools.
The next night l took four more Pills.
These acted but twice. My eyes were very

what This Beneficent Enterprise is
Doing for the Education of Indians
and COlOred People.
The Hampton Normal and Agricul-
tural Institute at Hampton, Va, held
its anniversary exercises on May %,
and the reports made on this its six
teenth year, show a good degree of
prosperity. There have been on its
rolls the past year five hundred negro
and one hundred and twenty Indian
students-the former preparing to
go South to teach their people,
where nearly a thousand already
trained in this Institute have
established themselves and are
doing great work in the colored COM
mon schools, especially of Virginia and
North Carolina. OF Indians, seventy
have already graduated and gone back
to their homes in Dakota, and the
Southwest, and are employed at the
agencies as teachers, mechanics, farm
erS and hired hands. Not over seven
have gone back to Indian ways, and
eight have died. On the whole the
record OF educated Indians who have in
the past three years returned from
1911 pun w thSIl HOlhCS las DSCh SttIlo-
factory.
The school has been built up since
1868 at a cost of about S400,0 and is
free from debt. 1t is now seeking an
endowment for its annual expenses,
which are $50, 900 in excess of aid re-
ceived from the Government. 1t is a
private, not u public institution, duly
incorporated, and is aided only in q
moderate degree by the Government,
which helps the Indians only.
The Trustees are making q special
effort to secure sixteen thousand dollars
to build new dormitory for colored
girls, two hundred in number, who are
now greatly crowded and suffering for
want OF room. General s. G. Arm
strong, the principal of the school Cad
dress, Hampton, Na.,) will gladly re-
ceive and acknowledge contributions
for any of the purposes of the school,
which IS an attempt TO solve two of the
race problems of our country. 1t is
conducted on the manual labor plan.
Students work out on the farm, or in
the shops, the most of their expenses.
They have earned this year over $780,
900. The whole six hundred-a little
less than one-half are girls-are liter
ally working out their own salvation.
This feature of self-help commends the
school to the confidence and interest of
all good citizens.

CURE OF FEVER AND AGUE.

Ague for upwards of two years. l have
taken about three pounds of quinine, 1

One day, finding myself very constipated,
took six BRANDRETH's PILLS on going to
bed. They acted very fully. To my surprise

took six more Pills the next night. On the
following morning 1 found myself much

A Pen Picture OF a Brahmin.


Ram Chandra Bose, the Lucknow
namesake of the seventh apparition
on earth of Vishnu, looked like an
exotic plant in a modern greenhouse rs
he stood in his scant tropical raiment
of white cotton on the platform of the
First Reformed Presbyterian Church.
The converted Brahmin is long and
thin, with a slimness exaggerated by
the skinny cut of his long, white gown,
which he wears above the garments of
Western civilization. An eye-glass
bangles down the Eastern robe from a
cord about the dark neck of the mis-
sionary. His close-cut hair has a
powder of white at its tips. His beard
is black. His complexion is very
dark shade of American Indian and,
like the latter, he has an eagle beak
Ram Chandra Bose has thoughtful
brow and an intelligent smile. He
breaks his English in the pleasantest
manner of cultured Italian. He and
the little son of another converted East
Indian sang a hymn of the Hindoo
Christians before the service. 1t was a
prayer to the new Savior Each verse
concluded with the Hindoo equivalent
for His name. The air was simple and
plaintive. 1t had q sing-song but
soothing monotone about it, like the
music of Flemish laborers or of French
Canadian boatmen. - PHILADELPHIA

Money is the universal necessity, and
none but cynic or fool will affect to de-
spise it. Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port
Even, Ulster County, N. Y, had realized
this truth. His disease involved the whole of
his thigh bone, and the suffering man look
ed forward, not without apparent reason,
to death as his only deliverer. His family
physician refused to amputate the limb
asserting that the operation would kill the
patient ON the spot. DR.. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y, who was consulted,
held different opinion and ampu-
tated the limb. The Doctor then admins
tered freely his great Blood medicine,
FANORlIE REMEDY, to afford tone and
strength to the system, to prevent the re-
turn OF the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth re-
mains to this day in the bloom of health.
This gentleman's disease was the offs Oring
of foul blood, and Dr. David Kennedy's

On the west coast of England grows
a sort of sea grass (pOrphyra laciniata)
which is made into something very like
bread. In the main it is gathered by
women; then they wash it and pluck
all other plants carefully from it. After
this it is boiled for some two hours;
then the mass is cut to pieces with
knives and kneaded into loaves. Dat
meal is then strewed over it to give it
greater cohesion and more inviting
appearance, and then it is baked. 1t
keeps in summer for four days and in
winter for eight. Many women on the
the coast of Dcvonshire earn their
living by selling this bread. and most
Of it is sent to Swansea, in Wales,
