Mr.. Blaine's War Record.

A dispatch from Boston, says
The meeting of the Bay State Club
was a significant gathering. Col.
Taylor, who presided, said that the
Democrats had been tainted by the
Republicans papers because they
wanted Blaine nominated, and now
that he was the nominee, the Dem
ocrats are more than satisfied. AT.
ter Gen. Corse, the first speaker,

character, and think understand
him pretty well. l am free to &C.
cord Mr.. Blaine that he has no
equal as politician in this country,
and he is prolific in his resources
and tact and sharpness in politics;
but beyond that / have never yet
seen a Republican who could say
more for Blaine. No Republican
could ever give me a sound reason
why Blaine should command the
respect of the people of this coun.

command respect what act Of
craftsmanship? With what great

Blaine came to Augusta Catholic
and carried his Bible and rosary to
church, but when he went in pol
itics the Catholic church was not
popular enough and he apostatized
and went into the Congregational
church, on the condition that he
should not be called on to make a
prayer in church. What is his war

ization had been effectedin Augusta
to protect men against the draft,
each member paying s25 to the
fund to hire q substitute if drafted.
Mr.. Blaine, out of that fund,
hired a substitute named Brad
ford. A soft place was found
for the man to remain at the
post in Augusta, instead of going to
the front. After awhile he was de-
tected in selling for money certain
certificates, and he was put in Jail
until the close Of the war. That
constituted Mr.. Blaine's services
in the field. After the war closed
the men who had been drawn
claimed that the towns and cities
should pay the expenses they had
been put to, and Augusta gener-
ously voted to pay these men the

About COrns.

tight shoe, as is generally supposed, that
makes corns. If the boot fits sncgly and is
not too narrow about the toes, it will not en-
gender corns or bunions Bunions are not
the same as corns except in location, and
both are caused by friction on an inflated
foot. At the place of contact a blister is
formed which is filled with watery liquid.
Tho outer skin becomes callous, new blis-
ter forms under the old one, and gradually
LAYER after layer of the corn is made building
down further into the flesh each time. The
pressing of this csllous into the flesh is what
causes pain. Women are most troubled
They wear very tight fitting shoes on the
street, and returning home lay them of to
relieve the pressure. putting on loose or slip
shod shoes. The friction of loose shoes
upon the infiamed feet does the work, and
aventually sends them to me.
Every year a new corn remedy is intro
duced. They get some oil of lavender, coal
oil and flaxseed oil, and, mixing it, put it in
vials at u cost of about one-eighth of cent
each. Supplied with dollars worth of this

An Accomplished Negro Butler

One dav last fall handsome mulatt0 hov
came to the door of a friend of mine, asking
for work He was a good butler, he ex-
planned. despite his years he had been care
fully trained and could do MANY things out
side of his strict line of duty. My friends
happened to need just such serving man,
and accepted him very imprudently on his
face. which was good, without asking par
ticularly for his recommendations which
were bad He was most accomplished
servant. He knew all about the dining
room; he knew all about the front door; he
was willing and ready and quiet, and great
success in every way. He was az extremely
he soon worked his way into the good graces
of the family. One day when one of the
young ladies was playing the piano, he was
discovered listening The next day he was
found listening again. His devotion to
music was remarked upon. Finally he
plucked up courage t0 ask if he could not sit
down to the piano at odd moments when the
ladies were otherwise engaged. They said
he could. He did at the first opportunity,
and for a mulstto serving man he played
exquisitely. OF course the ladies heard him,
and were pleased They felt they had a
jewel. They did not have him long. One
day, after he had won the hearts of the
whole family, he quietly stepped out with all
the jewelry he could lay his delicate hands
on. Recently he was arraigned at the bar of
the police court, charged with having swim
died dozen families in the same way. He
pleaded guilty in his dulcet tones to each
charge, and was held in heavy bail for trial.

Wire Fence Across Gullies.

The Ohio Farmer tells how to build a
wire fence over undulating ground with
out pulling the posts up by the roots, 1t
SAYS in building wire fence across ra-
vines and gullies it is very hard to keep
the posts in the lowest places from pulling
up. especially if any attempt is made to
bring the wire up taut, and it is tightly
drawn wire that makes the fence COM
plete. Instead of trying to make a post
stay solid. select the lowest place and
draw stone as large as a span of horses
can pull on drag-boat. Dig hole deep
enough to let the stone down just below
the bottom wire. Wrap double fence
wire aroud the stone and roll it into the
hole. Bore hole through short fence
post slip the wires that are about the
stone through the hole in the post, and
twist the ends. Bring the fence wire down
to the post and staple it.

Muck as a Fertilizer.

When muck is properly composted and
mixed with lime, it becomes very valua
BILE fertilizer upon any soil that is not
mucky in it's nature. On this subject the
Western Rural says that gardeners ire
quently go to needless expense in fertiliz-
ing With fertilizers, such as muck, often
right at their very doors, they neglect to
utilize them, but 60 to the town for stable
manure or to the stores for artificial fertil-
izers, and are not always certain what
they are getting at that, The business of
artificial fertilizers is not always
with regard to the laws of
honesty that should characterize mems
actions. Not long ago an examination of
certain makes of artificial manures showed
a great deal of aduteration. When it is
possible, and we make our own fertilizers
we know what we have.

Distance to the Sun.

As to the distance of $4,000, 900 miles, a
cannon ball would travel it in about fifteen
years 1t NAV help us to remember that at
the speed attained by the limited express on
our railroads train which had left the sun
for the earth when the Mayfower sailed from
Delthaven with the Pilgrim fathers. and
which ran at that rate day and night, would
in 1884 still be journey of some years away
from its terrestrial station. The fare, at the
customary rates. it may be remarked, would
be rather over s., 800, 900, so that it is clear
that we should need both money and leisure
for the journey.
Perhaps the most striking illustration of
the suns distance is given by expressing it in
terms Of what the psychologists would call
velocity of nerve transmission. Ii has been
found that sensation is not absolutely instan-
taneous, but that it occupies very minute
time in travelling along the nerves: so that
if child puts its finger in the candle there is
certain almost inconceivablo small space of
time, say the one-hundredth of a second.
before he feels the heat. In case then. A
child's arm were long enough to touch the
sun it can be calculated from this unknown
rate of transmission that the infant would
have to live to be a man of over one hundred
before 1t knew that its fingers were burned.

Farm Buildings.

In travelling about through the country
and well arranged farm buildings. of
course we have not expected to find. in the
newer portions of the country, all the con-
veniences with which the farmer in the
older regions surrounds himself.
Several out-houses are needed on every
farm. and these require to be conveniently
arranged in reference to each other, and
also in reference to one or more good
wards for the accommodation and shelter
of stock. Barns. stables. sheds. pigstys,
wagon and tool house, are needed on the
smallest farm; and on the majority OF
farms, a dairy house, feed room, with
cooking apparatus, shop for carpenter
work and other indoor work, that NAV be
done on rainy days. are equally desirable.
II would be difficult, perhaps impossi-
BILE, 10 state the proper order IN which
several of these buildings should be placed
in relation TO the house and principal barn.
The arrangement must vary with the char
acter of the ground, and the relative i'm
portance attached TO each department, the
aim, of course. being to economist time
and labor in waiting upon animals and
other necessary work.
When this subject has received sufficient
attention, and every farm has upon it the
necessary buildings. SO that ell crops may
be securely housed, every implement pro-
tected from the weather. and every animal
provided with comfortable shelter. and all
the manure carefully saved. though the
soil were not made more fertile. nor the
seasons more propitious, yet. by avoiding
the innumerable losses caused by the want
of good buildings, the net profits of the
farmer will be greatly increased.
