No other complaints are 30 insIdlous In their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs;
mono so trifIed with by the majority OF suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from . trifiIng or unconscious ca
posure, is often but the beginning OF fatal
sickness. AYER's CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy In forty years hght
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Grading, Crtting and Shipping Honey.

The first gEade should consist of only
perfect. whae comb, and it is tho
writer's opinion that, in many instances,
there should be only this one grade of
comb-honey.s Some bee-keepers make
a second grade of unfinished sections,
but if the aEiary is rightly managed,
close of the ssseasen, and it is better to
extract the honey from them, and keep
the combs uEtil another season. Honey
that is too dark for the first grade.
should not, ~ general thing, be stored
in sections, as it is usually more profta-
BILE to extract it. Before Grating, Sec
tiors shoulG be scraped clean of pro-
polls. A small crate is preferable; it is
more easily sshandled, and less liable to
be 'sdumpefl," while it sometimes en-
ables the retailer to sell whole crate at
once. Sections should be placed only
one tier high in shipping crates; be-
cause if any combs of the upper tier
become inbred, the honey drips down
and soils tlS,se of the lower tier. Some
bee-keepers make o shallow dish" Of
heavy MANILA paper, and place It in
the bottoms of the crate, then if the
combs are Injured the ''dish'' catches
the honey, hnd prevents the soiling Of
other cratts. All honey crates should
have glass ON at least one of their sides.
Small lots of honey should be sent by
express, and large ones byfreight. Elk
press mater is necessarily handled
rapidly, ard when there is large lot Of
honey to us1load, it is apt to be jerked
off in a hurry. When large lot of
honey is sGnt by freight, the consigned
should be Ilotifed in advance, SO that he
may see to, the unloading. Small crates
should not be stacked mp in a tall, up
right pile, lin car, but built up in tha
shape of q low pyramid. If access can
be had to tsne end of the car, place the
honey theEe, as it will be protected on
three sideS from tumbling down, and
upon the other it can be built like q
fight of ssairs, which will pretty effec~
tnally prevent any crate from receiving
tumble Always handle honey with
care.-Arfsertcag Agriculturist.

The Discovery Of Salt Glaze.

In 1880 very simple accident re-
vealed to the English potters secret

before from the Dutch wares imported
into that country. A maid servant at

AFTER TIE CURTAIN FALLS.

Ais over, now 1t was great success.
Our Honest Villain did the best he could,
Took pains, and plodded through his wicked

And when he drove the lady to despair
With darby scoBing threats and feigned

They called us back. The laughing plaudits
To welcome us.. That moment was divine
The token of my triumph! AS held
My darlingAs hand in mine,
seem ed to feel her happy pulses beat,
AS mine were beating in my joy, and pride;
trod the whole world underneath my feet
Since she was by my side!
A hurried whisper, caught ameaning smile;
Enough-it was the villain she preferred
The Villain all the while!
That was the end, and here l am alone,
Dismally laughing at my sorry plight;
Ilisten to the wind unceasing moan,
gaze into the night,
Only to see my pale reflection cast
Upon the gloom A bitter lash of rain
Falls, with sudden fury of the blast,
On the black windoW-pane.
She loves him-loves him! She will be his
wife!
And strangely recall, as here stand,
How in another world another life,

PRIVATE THEATRICALS.

BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES.
The guests assemble. Down the stairs steal
Asif I'd dressed II century before,
And pause, a courtly beau from head to heel
Close by the green-room door.
The freight glows within; the leaping blaze
Shines on an eager face. What happy spell
Summoned that sweetest glimpse or oluen
That arch and radiant belle?
Ready to play her part in quaint disguise
Ofpowdered hair and old brocaded gown,
She warns dainty foot, nor turns her eyes
Where, with an anxious froWn,
Coming his book, our crafty Villain sits; :,
Tall, handsome, honest, he's wealthy
A trife 6eavy-in our telling bits
He rather misses fire.
My Iadys eyes are lifted from the famei
The Villain keeps his finger on speech,
And greets me by my name.
L am the happy hero Of the play,
With Love, and Luck, and Valor on my side;
I am to conquer everything to-day,
am to win my bride.
And will win her! All, they do not know
Well may they praise me as I act my part!
This courtship of hundred years ago
Is living in my heart
YET can plead my cause without the aid
VI studied pnrdSeS-L1Sy are poor duO hSdlhS
Wait only till our comedy is played
This is no time to speak.
The actors hurry in, and one and all
Appeal to me to listen or to look.
The footman's livery is q size too small.
The prompter wants his book.
My father comes to show his wrinkled face,
And loiters nervously behind the scenes;
praise his badness and his feeble pace
He's only in his teens!
There are so many duties to perform.
And at a moments notice must say
Who is to see about the thunderstorm,
And who taxes in the tray.
Where is the fatal deed that must be signed?
Lounging beside the window, lift the blind
And cast careless glance.
Nothing to see-how heavily 1t rains!-
Nothing but here and there gliding spark
Where carriages along the country lanes
Come rolling through the dark.
Beyond, there lies a world OF gloom unknown;
Our little space OF glitter, warmth and light
Is but many-coIored bubble, blown
On a black sea of night.
We'll, let the bubble break without sigh.
And let tomorrow come, as come it wills
/ am the happy hero till die,
Ii she is with me still!
And when hereafter we recall this day
OF painted, powdered courtship from the
past,

The outrage perpetrated on an aged
and inoffensive Scandinavian and his
wife, living in Sibley county, about
thirteen months ago, is at last to be
legally Investigated. It appears that
when Aug. Hokanson and his wife
were loaded into the wagon it was for
the purpose of taking them out of the
county in which they lived, and that
the outrage was committed in Renville
Co. At the last term of court in Rem
vile Go. the matter was brought before
the grand jury. A number of indite-
ments were found and four arrests were
made last Saturday in West Newton
and Severance One of the guilty par
ties has skipped the country, but the
officers are ron his tracks and he will no
doubt be brought back to face the mu-
sic. We have tho names of all parties
implicated but will withhold them for
