No LADY of refinement likes to resort to
superficial devices to supply a becoming
semblance of her former beauty. 1t is
health alone that lights the countenance
and brings back fresh tints to the faded
cheek. IF anything on earth will do this, it
is Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, which has already brought
health to multitudes with whom all other
means had failed.

A Woman of Nerve.

One day recently a lady started for
Monticello from Gilman's Station.
She drove a fiery two-year-old colt
hitched to light cutter. When half
the distance had been covered the colt
got down in big snow-bank, and in
its efforts to regain it's feet snapped
off both thills. Here was dilemma
The lady, with pluck which many men
might well emulate, took the broken
shafts from the sleigh, tied the traces,
one to each runner, and started back
for repairs. She did not lead the colt.
She drove him, and part of the way
the sleigh was ahead of the animal
and the other part of the way
it was on his heels. She came to the
clearinghouse with a flourish, ad-
iusted another pair ofshafts and drove
to Monticello safely.

Mash for Horses.

In California o. favorite and rather
a new kind of mash for horses is COM
ing into use, composed of two quarts
OF oats, one of bran and half pint of
haxseed. The oats are first placed in
the stable bucket, over which is placed
the linseed, boiling water added, then
the bran, covering the mixture with
an old rug and allowing it to thus rest
for five hours; then the mass is stirred
up well. The bran absorbs while re-
tanning the vapor, and the linseed
binds the oats and bran together. A
greater quantity OF faxseed would
make the preparation too oily and
less perishable. One feed per day is
sufficient. II is easily digested and is
especially adapted to young animals,
adding to their volume rather than to
their height, giving substance to the
frame.

The sulphur rock is composed Of sulphur and

often separated by layers Of black mari,
