Oscar Wilde defines fashion in
dress as a form of ugliness so un-
bearable that we have to alter it every
six months. Egyptian dress lasted
for 1000 years, and Greek dress near
ly 1000 years, and wherever dress
has been beautiful and rational it has
lasted for a long time. The texture
and color may have altered, but the
dress has remained the same. AS to
style, he had seen bonnet composed
of nothing but a stuffed bird allght-
ing on a piece of tulle. That did not
strike one as very sensible material OF
which to make a head-dress in u
climate such as ours. On a Paris
fashion-plate he had seen under bon,
net of the stuffed -bird-and- d-tulle school
a note to this effect: "With this kind
of bonnet the mouth is worn slightly

Not a Liquid nor
Quaker Testimony.

Mrs. A. M. Dauphin, a Quaker lady, of
Philadelphia, has done great deal to
make known to ladies there the great value
of Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
as cure for their troubles and diseases.
She writes as follows: "a young lady of
this city while bathing some years ago was
thrown violently against the life line and
the injuries received resulted in an ovarian
tumor which grew and enlarged until death
seemed certain. Her physician finally ad-
vised her to try Mrs. Pinkham's Compound.
She did so and in short time the tumor
was dissolved or caused to slough off, and
she is noD in perfect health. l also know of
many cases where the medicine has been
of great value in preventing miscarriage
and alleviating the pains and dangers of
childbirth. Philadelphia ladies appreciate
the worth of this medicine and it's great
value"

THE CABBAGE WORM.
A Simple and Perfect Remedy for This
Agricultural Pest.

"A simple ana PerteCJ remedy lOr Ihis
Agricultural Pest
Prof. c. V. Riley says: Zone of my
correspondents, Mr.. Charles H. Erwin,
of Painted Post, N. Y, has accidentally
hit upon so simple and yet, according
to his experience, so perfect a remedy
for the imported cabbage worm, that |
wish to give his experience as much
publicity as possible, that it may be
widely tested and, if possible, verified
the coming season. 1t is, to sum up an
extended experience which he narrates,
simply ice-cold water, or water but q
few degrees warmer than ice water,
sprnkled upon the worms during the
heat of the day. Mr.. Erwin found that
such an application in the hot sun caused
them to quickly let 60 their hold upon
the leaves, curl up, roll to the ground
and die, while the cabbages suffered
nothing, but looked all the fresher for
the application.
Should this method prove as success
full with others as it has with him, it is
- evident that we have here remedy of
very general application, and one
which in cheapness and simplicity far
transcends the Pyrethrum which, since
discovered its value for the purpose,
in 1880, has been, on the whole, our
safest and most satisfactory remedy
against Pieris rapae. Where ice is
readily obtainable, as in the more
northern States, or where cold springs
obtain, Mr.. Erwin's discovery will
prove of very great value to cabbage
growers, and viii probably prove jast
as useful against some Of the other cab
bage worms. ="

Seven IEise Men Raff1ed.

The N. Y. Morning Journal says that
Mrs. F. G. Kellogg, 50 E. Seth St., was par
TALLY paralyzed, and lay for seven days in
convulsions. Physicians were engaged and
discharged until seven had failed to help
or cure her. She was unable to leave her
bed, and was as helpless as child. After
using all sorts of salves, ointments, lotions
and plasters, her case was given up as
hopeless. She was induced to try st.
Jacobs Oil as a last chance. She began to
improve from the time the first application
was made, and by its continued use, she
has completely recovered.

A physician writes:

"With suicidal Indifference many disre-
gard the laws of health. They eat indi-
gestible food, they expose themselves to
sudden climatic changes, they excessive
ly strain the nerves, they give no heed to
a daily evacuation of the bowels, they re-
press natural desire to urinate, they
indulge in hurtful drinks, etc. Ere long
their health completely fails. A state of
impure blood, nervous depression, dys'
pepsia, urinary disorders, partial paraly-
sis, etc, follows. AS a cure l cordially
recommend pr. Cuysott's Yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla, which, in
connection with careful dieting and due
attention to correct bodily habits, with
regular hours of sleep, ETC., will surely
restore health. consider it the best
tonic, blood purifier and strengthener
sold by druggists. 1t acts soothingly and
mildly, and never leaves any unpleasant
after effects. Many have been astonished
at its marvellous cures, after all other
remedies had failed"

Fruit Trees Should BE Manured as Well
as Other Crops.


as Other Crops.
Few owners of orchards ever think OF
the necessity for manuring fruit trees.
1t is not supposed that fruit tree needs
any manure. This is great mistake.
The quantity of seed alone produced in
an average crop of fruit is sufficient to
exhaust the natural increments OF fer
tility which the roots can extract from
the soil Then the leaves and the
growth of wood withdraw large guam
titv of lime and potash from the soil,
which must be restored or the tree fails.
Few persons realize that the nourish-
ment of tree is derived from the sur
face soil in great part, and that the deep
roots serve more to support the tree in
its position than to sustain its growth.
No doubt some mineral matter is taken
up by the deep roots, but as these roots
may all be severed completely from the
tree and the tree still flourish as well as
ever, so long as the surface roots are
safe, it is clear that these upper roots
are really the main support of the tree,
and supply the greater part of its de-
mands upon the soil, These are the
feeders of the tree which require food,
and Gberality in respect of the supply
of the proper food is well repaid. Top
dressing the orchard should not be
neglected now before it is too late. The
feeding surface of a tree is very large,
the roots spread far and wide unless the
supply is sufficient near by. The ma
nure should be spread at least as far as
the branches extend Lime, wood

they contain) potash salts, phosphate OF
