Keep Clean.

heep Olean,
About this time of the year We
often hear Of typhoid fever break
ing out in farmers families. have
heard it said that there is more ty.
phoid fever in the country than in
the city according to the popula-
ton. Why should it be so, when
farm-houses are scattered, and have
the advantage of pure air and plen-
ty OF it? Some are too careless o.
their surroundings. The cellar Is
not cleaned out every spring and
viii ewashed; the sink is a wooden
one, wet most of the time, and
slOwl y rotting; the drain is a short
wooden or lead pipe reaching out OF
doors. Then all the slop is allowed
to meander over the grass at its
own sweet will, but the odor from
1T is decidedly the reverse of sweet.
The outbuildings are not kept as
clean as often they should be; the
pig-peg is too neer the house, and
on par with the rest. No wonder
they have typhoid fever! Now,
there is a remedy for all this, and
it is not a costly one. The cellars
can be whitewashed, and a little
copperas (green vitriol, such as our
grandmother used to set color
with dissolved in it will make the
cellar sweet, and a little scattered
along the edges of the wall will
drive away rats; just let them get
they paws in copperas and they
will leave in a hurry. No vegeta-
bles like cabbage, turnips or onions
should be stored under the rooms
where people live, as they give off
poison gases constantly.
Replace the wooden sink with an
iron one; if this is not practicable,
use the cOpperas twice a week, dis
solving it by pouring On hot water,
and pour it down the spout. Use it
freely in every place where is need
of it. 1t comes very cheap if bought
by the quantity it has no odor
like chloride of lime or carbolic
acid. 1t is excellent in case of
dissolve in an old cup or
bowl las it is poisonous, and it
would not do to use the dish for
anything else) and set it under the
foot of the bed; renew it every day
and the air OF the sick-room will

times a day. 1t is generally much
relished by the patients. who re-
gard it as a pleasant article OF diet
rather than as a medicine. The
smoke of the mullen leaves inhal-
ed into the respiratory passages

cough.

lowed DR.. Quinlan's method in

These results ale certainly very en-
couraging and should be followed.

A southern farmer who has been
travelling through Ohio was sur
prised to note the absence of tum-
ble-down stables, barns and fences.
The farm houses looked like town
or city dwellings, with nice yards,
flower gardens, evergreen hedges,
shade trees and carpets of grass.
The traveller saw several reasons
for this difference. In the south
the farms are too large. A poor
man will occupy four hundred acres
of land and perhaps owe for one
half. He tries TO cultivate too
much and neglects all. In Ohio
the farms are small. Thirty, fifty
or one hundred acres makes a good
farm. A man on thirty-five acres
makes a good living for himself and
wife and lives in a styles of com
fort and ease that the poor class oil
farmers in the south know nothing
about.-Home and Farm.
Our homes are what we make
them. We can't quell donIes-
tic riot or put a quietus to family
lars by simply banging up green
worsted motto of "God bless our
home" Neither can we support
our families by suspending the
other popular motto, "The Lord
will provide" II is honest toll that
makes the kettle boil.

Honor. NO. worshily Be..o~.,d

The one point on which Mr.. Cleveland s
course as President is thus far open to serious
criticism is in the honors which have been
shown to 6 class of southern men who re-
eeive and deserve no sympathy from north
ern men of patriotic impulses They are
men who by their course since the war have
substantially said that they do not accept the
new order of things, and that they seorn to
ask the government TO remove the political
disabilities which they incurred by their own
act. OF this class of men WAS Jacob Thomp-
son, who died soon after the new Administra-
tion came in, and to whose memory Secretary
Lamar ordered the same honors TO be paid as
though he had never betrayed his country and
mad not kept up show of what amounted to
sort of snllen belhgereDey TO the last
OF the same class is General Lawton of
Georgia whom President Cleveland appoint
cd TO the Russian mission. He is al Exon
federate who has never asked the government
10 remove his disabilities Immediately on
his appointment the question of his eligibili-
~ 10 hold federal office was raised He was
one Of the men pRrdoned by Andrew John
son, and his friends and the President claim
tAht hAAn lHlupA permanently temUfEu LIS
political disabilities. To this it is answered
that the johnson pardon is good only against
his indictment for treason, and IN the event
of his indictment for that crime the pardon
could be pleaded against bis prosecution

This qualification Gen Lawton clearly does
not possess but Mr.. ClevelAnd's attorney
general nevertheless held him 10 be eligible.
and the President was evidently bound 10
stick by his FIRST determination and send him
abroad, until, early this week, it was announe-

The steamer Colon, which was seized by
the Panama rebels and her officers imprison-

ing to the statement made by her Uficers, the
ship on her arrival at Aspinwall March 80
had in her cargo number Of rifles, reyolv-
ers and cartridges consigned 10 PrestRu, the
leader Of the rebels. Immediately on her
arrival PrestRn went to Capt. Lima, present
ed his bill Of lAding and demanded delivery Of
the arms without delay. As they were slowed
away in the hold and could not be reached
immediately, Capt. Lima promised to land
them az quickly as they could be got al il
the course of the unloading. The rebel chief
insisted upon delivery instanter as be expect
ed momentArily TO be attacked 10y the gov
eminent troops He went ashore with his
men and arrested two officers Of the steam
ship company, the United States consul, and
Lieut.. Judd of the United States WAT ship
GRlenR, who happened TO be ashore at the
time. Having secured Ii csc hostages, Pres
tan sent communication to the commander
Of the GalenR lying in the bay, intimRting
that he was about TO board the Colon With
his men to take possession of the arms, and
threatening to kill the four hostages at once
Commander Kane of the Galens had every
reason to believe that Prestan would carry
out his threat, and it WAS for this reason that
instead of opening fire on the rebels, he con
tented himself with securing the arms in dis
pute, and in using such measures for the
safety of American residents as could be
taken without defeating his object.
