Stomach bitters are snare, and only

Use for SCOT.

Save the SCOT when the stOve-plpes
and chimneys are cleaned for the win
ter The use of hard coal in many
parts of the country, and IN almost all
cities and large towns, has stopped the
accumulation Of SCOT made by the
chimney sweeps in the days of wood
fires, but nevertheless there is good
deal OF wood and soft coal burned
which produces SCOT. In England,
where the SCOT is produced by soft
coal, it is extensively used, and when
only fifteen or twenty bushels are APP
piled to the acre, it induces the most
luxuriant crops of wheat and other
grains. 1t contains, in small compass,
almost all the ingredients of the coal
Or wood used for fuel. 1t also con-
tains several salts OF ammonia, mag
nesia, lime and muriatic acid. It's
components are the natural food or
stimulants Of plants, and it can be
used to advantage as concentrated
fertilizer, to stimulate terminating
seeds in the drill, 1t is not only sown
broadcast with the grain, but it is ap-
piled to the root crops with the best
results. Potatoes and carrots are
especially benefited by it. Six quarts
OF SCOT to a hogshead of water make
an excellent liquid manure for the gar
den. 1t can be applied with safety to
all garden crops, and will pay well for
saving for spring use. One, two, three
or more barrels can be saved easily
in most families, especially where wood
is burned.

Arab Horse Maxims.

Let your colt be domesticated and
Eve with you from his tenderest age,
and when a horse he will be simple, do
Gle, faithful, and Injured to hardship
and fatigue.
Ii you would have your horse to
serve you on the day of trial, if you
desire him then to be horse of truth,
make him sober, accustomed to hard
labor, and inaccessible to fear.
Do not beat your horses, nor
speak to them in loud tone of voice;
do not be angry with them, but kindly
reprove their faults; for they under
stand the language of man, and its
meaning.
If you have a long day s Journey be-
fore you, spare your horse at the
start; let him frequently walk to re-
cover his wind. Continue this until
he has sweated and dried three times,
and you may ask of him what
you please; he will not leave you in
difficulty.
Use your horse as YOU'D do your leath-
ern bottle; If you open it gently and
gradually you can easily control the
water therein; but If you open it sud
denly the water escapes at once and
nothing remains to quencL. your
thirst.
Never let your horse run up ordown
hill if you can avoid it. On the con-
trary, slacken your pace. Which do
you prefer, was asked of a horse,
ascent or descent? A curse be on their
point of meeting was the answer.
Observe your horse when heis drink
ing at a brook. If in bringing down his
head he remains square without bend
ing his limbs, he possesses sterling
qualities, and al parts of his body are
built symmetrically.
Four things he must have broad
front, chest, loins and limbs; four
things long-neck, breast, forearm and
Group; and four things short-pasterns,
back, ears and tail.
Make your horse work and work
again. Inaction and fat are the great
peril of a horse and the main cause of
all his vices and diseases.

just Like All Other CIergymen.

From the Franklin spectator.l
A prominent Methodist clergyman
tells the following story of an old
Baptist preacher who always con
trived to lug baptism into his sermons,
whatever his text might be. The old
gentleman who was asked one day if he
could possibly preach a sermon with
out alluding to his favorite doctrine.
He said he could, and would, if they
would give him a text without any
baptism in it. The first chapter of
Ezra, ninth verse, was selected, which
reads as follows: "And this is the
number of them: thirty chargers OF
gold, q thousand chargers of silver,
nine and twenty knives" He entered
the pulpit, read his text, and said:
"My brethren, don't see what they
wanted of so many knives unless 1
was to cut the ice in. order to baptiz {
the people"

Clean Up.

ga place for everything and every
thing in its place" gives shelter to all
implements and tools. 1t is not eco
nomical to have the wagons and carts
stand exposed to all the weather, the
axe stuck in the log at the woodpile,
the plows left in the furrow, the chains
hanging by the barnyard gate, the OK
yoke and whip at the wateringtrough,
the moving machine where it was last
used and the horse rake at it's side,
the scythe hung in the apple tree over
the grindstone and the shovels and
hoes rusting in the corner of the stable.
1t is much easier to put tool where
you can find it, when you have it in
hand, than to lay your hand upon it
when you do not know exactly where
it is, because your Toulouse is "as
large as all outdoors"

The SLAYER of Jesse James.

- PROM the Denver Republican.
The other day a cowboy-looking in
dlvidual walked briskly over the mar
bic floor of the Windsor Hotel lobby up
to the counter, and, giving the register
Jerk to one side, seized a pen and
hurriedly wrote his name in large let
tiers, which reached from one side OF
the page to the other.
The clerk was busy at the time and
did not notice the strangers pres
ence until the register was given an
other emphatic Jerk and the pen which
had Just been n use was thrown VIC
lently back into its rack
Then the clerk leaned over the regis
ter, and as he read the regulation ho-
tel-clerk smile changed into a look of
disgust. The clerk shook his head
and said something to the stranger
which made the shaggy hair of the cow
boy stand out straight behind Then
the visitor became violent, and was
gesticulating wildly when three stout
looking men, who had been quietly
summoned by the cletk, came ~ and
without any ado hustled the fellow
out upon the sidewalk, and hewas told
to move on.
The would-be guest, as indicated on
the register, was Bob Ford, the slayer
Of Jesse James.

Feedtny Cotton-seed MeaI.

Judging from the results OF recent
experiments made at the Agricultural
College OF Mississippi in feeding cattle
with cotton-seed meal, the Southern
planter will not only be able to main
tain the fertility of his soil, but he can
compete with the Western stock grow
er in the production OF beef. 1t ap-
pears that four-year- steer,
weighing 708 pounds, which was fed
an average daily ration o: IA 2-5
pounds OF cotton seed with eleven
pounds of hay and straw, made net
gain in fifty-six days of 26O pounds,
an average of one pound of flesh fol-
each 81 pounds of food consumed. A
series of experiments proved that the
cotton-raising farmer can realize
enough from feeding his cotton seed tC
stock to nearly pay the entire cost Of
growing his cotton crop. Prof. Gulley
under whose supervision the expert
ments were made, states that even at
the present low price of beef fattenine
cattle upon cotton-seed meal will re-
turn a much greater profit than the
Western cattle grower can realize by
feeding corn.

In the first place | was much troubled
about purifying the air in the sick

nearly odorless that the invalid was
not annoyed by it.
Kind friends brought in presents of
fruits and flowers, which enlivened the
patients day, but when night came
they were removed to another
room. No flowers possessing strong
odors were admitted, as the patient s

The most difficult thing for an anna
teur nurse to practice is, perhaps, alb
solute self-control She must never be
in hurry, and yet always be on time.
She must understand what the sick
| person needs without being told She
must never seem tired or anxious, and
must call the invalid's mind away
from thoughts of illness as far as
| possible.
When food is served the utmost
| care must be exercised to give
| it neat and inviting look. Toast
should be cut in accurate squares, and
be of delicate golden brown. Fruit
| should be served in the daintiest of
dishes. Tea must be piping hot and
not too strong.
The clothing, shsess, etc, should be
changed at least once IN two days, and
If the patient perspires much, every
day is better.
The body should be wiped often in
warm water in which little soda has
| been dissolved. Care must be taken

THE RURAL HOME.
NV Old Home.

And fronts the beechy hollow
Where glossy vines have ample scope
The wanton brook to follow;
Witch hazel drop their magic wands
In search OF golden treasure;
And, lying in the silent ponds,
The trout find quiet pleasure.
The oxen turn their patient eyes
Upon me; the bay filly
;eghs softly III her glad surprise;
The tender lambs are chilly;
And nestle in my apron wide;
The apple blooms are sitting
in eddles on the laughing tide,
To yonder river drifting.
The snowy dogwood stars the copse,
Ferns nod III fronded beauty,
The violet has modest hopes
To pay her fragrant duty,
The arum darts notified tongue
To lndian-pipe, and vylng
With every flower the muse has sung
